Interest on the 10.25% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “initial cash-pay notes”), the 10.25% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B (the “Series B cash-pay notes,” and together with the initial cash-pay notes, the “cash-pay notes”) and the 10.50%/11.25% Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 (the “toggle notes,” and together with the cash-pay notes, the “notes”) is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The cash-pay notes accrue interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum. Until November 1, 2012, Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC and TCEH Finance, Inc. (together, the “Issuer”) may elect to pay interest on the toggle notes in cash, by increasing the principal amount of the toggle notes or issuing new toggle notes (“PIK interest”) for the entire amount of the interest payment or by paying interest on half of the principal amount of the toggle notes in cash and half in PIK interest. The toggle notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 10.50% per annum and PIK interest at a rate of 11.25% per annum. If the Issuer elects to pay any PIK interest, the Issuer will increase the principal amount of the toggle notes or issue new toggle notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK interest for the applicable interest payment period (rounded up to the nearest $1,000) to holders of the toggle notes on the relevant record date. The toggle notes are treated as having been issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The cash-pay notes will mature on November 1, 2015 and the toggle notes will mature on November 1, 2016.

The Issuer may redeem any of the cash-pay notes beginning on November 1, 2011 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. The Issuer may also redeem any of the cash-pay notes at any time prior to November 1, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” premium. The Issuer may redeem any of the toggle notes beginning on November 1, 2012 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. The Issuer may also redeem any of the toggle notes at any time prior to November 1, 2012 at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, before November 1, 2010, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes using the proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in this prospectus.

The notes are unsecured and rank equally with any unsecured senior indebtedness of the Issuer. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “guarantees”) on a senior unsecured basis by the Issuer’s direct parent, Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company, and by each subsidiary that guarantees the Issuer’s senior secured credit facilities (as described herein) (together, the “guarantors”). These guarantees are unsecured and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured senior obligations of each guarantor and are effectively subordinated to existing and future secured debt of such guarantor to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness. Energy Future Holdings Corp., the indirect parent of the Issuer, does not guarantee the notes.

For a more detailed description of the notes, see “Description of the Notes” beginning on page 17.

Unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to “EFC Holdings” refer to Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company and not to any of its subsidiaries. References to “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to the “Issuer” collectively refer to Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (“TCEH”) and TCEH Finance, Inc. (“TCEH Finance”), the co-issuers of the notes.

On October 10, 2007, Texas Energy Future Merger Sub Corp (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.”), which was then known as TXU Corp. (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, investment funds associated with or designated by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (“KKR”), TPG Capital, L.P.(“TPG”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs,” and, together with KKR and TPG, the “Sponsor Group”), and certain other co-investors (collectively, the “Investors”), own EFH Corp. through Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership (“Texas Holdings”), with the Sponsor Group controlling Texas Holdings’ general partner, Texas Energy Future Capital Holdings LLC (the “General Partner”).

TCEH is a Dallas-based holding company for businesses engaged in competitive electricity market activities largely in Texas, including electricity generation, development and construction of new generation facilities, wholesale energy sales and purchases, commodity risk management and trading activities and retail electricity sales.

As of December 31, 2008, TCEH owned or leased 18,365 megawatts (“MW”) of generation capacity in Texas, which consists of lignite/coal, nuclear and natural gas-fueled generation facilities. In addition, TCEH is the largest purchaser of wind-generated electricity in Texas and the fifth largest in the United States of America (“U.S.”). TCEH is currently constructing three lignite/coal-fueled generation units in Texas with expected generation capacity totaling approximately 2,200 MW. Permits have been obtained for construction of the three units, which are expected to come on-line in 2009 and 2010. TCEH provides competitive electricity and related services to more than 2.2 million retail electricity customers in Texas. As of December 31, 2008, TCEH’s estimated share of the total Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) retail market for residential and business market electricity customers was approximately 37% and 26%, respectively (based on customer counts).

At December 31, 2008, TCEH had approximately 4,300 full-time employees, including approximately 2,000 employees under collective bargaining agreements.

TCEH was formed in Texas in November 2001 and TCEH Finance, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in September 2007. The Issuer’s principal executive offices currently are located at Energy Plaza, 1601 Bryan Street, Dallas, TX 75201-3411, and its telephone number is (214) 812-4600.

The summary below describes the principal terms of the notes. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The “Description of the Notes” section of this prospectus contains more detailed descriptions of the terms and conditions of the notes.

Each of the initial cash-pay notes, the Series B cash-pay notes and the toggle notes are a separate series of notes under the indenture but will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture for amendments and waivers and for taking certain actions, except as otherwise stated herein.

Until November 1, 2012, the Issuer may elect to pay interest on the toggle notes, at the Issuer’s option:

The toggle notes accrue cash interest at a rate of 10.50% per annum and PIK interest at a rate of 11.25% per annum.

For any interest period in which the Issuer elects to pay any PIK interest, as it did for the interest period ending on May 1, 2009, the Issuer will increase the principal amount of the toggle notes or issue new toggle notes in an amount equal to the amount of PIK interest for the applicable interest payment period (rounded up to the nearest $1,000) to holders of the toggle notes on the relevant record date.

As of December 31, 2008, the notes would have ranked effectively junior to approximately $22.2 billion of the Issuer’s senior secured indebtedness, most of

which would have been represented by its borrowings under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities. As of December 31, 2008, TCEH had approximately $2.3 billion of additional available capacity under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities (excluding amounts available under the TCEH Commodity Collateral Posting Facility).

EFH Corp., our parent, does not guarantee the notes. In addition, none of the entities comprising EFH Corp.’s regulated electricity transmission and distribution business guarantee the notes. Those entities consist of Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC, Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC and Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC and its bankruptcy remote financing subsidiary that was established solely to issue securitization bonds.

The Issuer may redeem any of the toggle notes beginning on November 1, 2012 at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. The Issuer may also redeem any of the toggle notes at any time prior to November 1, 2012 at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, before November 1, 2010, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the toggle notes, using the proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in this prospectus. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

At the end of any “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) ending after the fifth anniversary of the issue date of the toggle notes (each, an “Optional Interest Repayment Date”), the Issuer may pay in cash, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and all accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) on each toggle note then outstanding up to, in the aggregate, the Optional Interest Repayment Amount (as defined below) (each such redemption, an “Optional Interest Repayment”). The “Optional Interest Repayment Amount” means, as of each Optional Interest Repayment Date, the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest and all accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) with respect to the toggle notes, over (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) the

“issue price” (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the toggle notes multiplied by (ii) the “yield to maturity” (as defined in the Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) of the toggle notes, minus (c) $50,000,000.

The Issuer may not be able to pay holders the required price for the notes they present to it at the time of a change of control, because:

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.”

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. See “Description of the Notes.”

Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company and its Subsidiaries

The following table sets forth our summary historical consolidated financial data as of and for the periods indicated. The historical financial data as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Successor) and for the year ended December 31, 2008 (Successor), the period from October 11, 2007 through December 31, 2007 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2007 through October 10, 2007 (Predecessor) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 (Predecessor) have been derived from our audited historical consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated herein by reference to our 2008 Form 10-K. The historical financial data as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (Predecessor) and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 (Predecessor) has been derived from our audited historical consolidated financial statements that are not included in our 2008 Form 10-K. The summary historical consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with our 2008 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, including the sections of our 2008 Form 10-K captioned “Glossary,” “Selected Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in our 2008 Form 10-K.

Note: Although EFC Holdings continued as the same legal entity after the Merger, its “Selected Financial Data” for periods preceding the Merger and for the periods succeeding the Merger are presented as the consolidated financial statements of the “Predecessor” and the “Successor”, respectively. The consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in EFC Holdings’ Annual Financial Statements for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File Number 333-153700). The consolidated financial statements of the Successor also reflect the application of “purchase accounting.”

Note: Results for 2008 are significantly impacted by impairment charges related to goodwill, trade name and emission allowances intangible assets and natural gas-fueled generation plants. Results for 2004 are significantly impacted by charges related to EFH Corp.’s comprehensive restructuring plan.

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and the risk factors incorporated herein by reference to our 2008 Form 10-K as well as the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus before deciding to invest in the notes. The selected risks described below and the risks that are incorporated herein by reference to our 2008 Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any of the following risks or any of the risks described in our 2008 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. In such a case, the trading price of the notes could decline or we may not be able to make payments of interest and principal on the notes, and you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes.

We do not intend to apply for a listing of the notes on a securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity of markets that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell the notes or the price at which you would be able to sell the notes. Certain financial institutions have advised us that they intend to make a market in the notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, those entities are not obligated to make a market in any of the notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. Therefore, an active market for any of the notes, if developed, may not continue. Because Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its respective affiliates may be considered affiliates of ours, they are required to deliver a current “market-maker” prospectus in connection with any secondary market sale of the notes, which may affect their ability to continue market-making activities. Historically, the market for non investment-grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. The market, if any, for any of the notes may not be free from similar disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. In addition, the notes may trade at a discount from your purchase price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.

EFH Corp., our parent, is highly leveraged and will rely upon us for a significant amount of its cash flows.

EFH Corp. is a holding company and substantially all of its consolidated assets are held by its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2008, we held approximately 73% of EFH Corp.’s consolidated assets and we represented 86% of EFH Corp.’s consolidated revenues. Accordingly, EFH Corp. depends upon us for a significant amount of EFH Corp.’s cash flows and ability to pay its obligations.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our debt agreements, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the notes.

If cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to dispose of assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance indebtedness, including the notes. These alternative measures may not be successful or may not be adequate for us to meet our debt service obligations then due. Additionally, our debt agreements, including the indenture governing the notes, limit the use of the proceeds from any disposition; as a result, we may not be allowed, under these documents, to use proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy all current debt service obligations.

If we default on obligations to pay indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

Any default under our debt agreements that is not waived by the required lenders or noteholders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could prevent us from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If our subsidiaries are unable to generate sufficient cash flows and we are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our and their indebtedness, or if we or they otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including any financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our and their indebtedness, we or they could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and/or the lenders could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and, in the case of the lenders under TCEH’s senior secured credit facilities, institute foreclosure proceedings against the pledged assets, and we or they could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If the operating performance of our subsidiaries declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders to avoid being in default. If we breach the covenants under TCEH’s senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the notes and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, they would be in default under the instrument governing that indebtedness, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and they could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The source of funds for any such purchase of the notes will be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries’ operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control because we may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control. Further, we will be restricted under the terms of our debt agreements from repurchasing all of the notes tendered by holders upon a change of control. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to purchase the notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under the instruments governing that indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the indenture and a cross-default under certain of our other debt agreements. The instruments governing TCEH’s senior secured credit facilities also provide that a change of control will be a default that permits the lenders thereunder to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar provisions.

U.S. holders will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the toggle notes, whether we pay interest on the toggle notes in cash or PIK interest.

We have the option to pay interest on the toggle notes in cash or PIK interest for any interest payment period prior to November 1, 2012. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the existence of this option means that none of the interest payments on the toggle notes are qualified stated interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as defined under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Certain Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Toggle Notes”). Consequently, the toggle notes are treated as having been issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and U.S. holders (as defined under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) will be required to include the original issue discount in gross income on a constant yield to maturity basis, regardless of whether interest is paid currently in cash. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Certain Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Toggle Notes.”

U.S. holders will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on accrual of original issue discount on the Series B cash-pay notes.

Because the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the Series B cash-pay notes exceeds their “issue price” by more than the statutory de minimis threshold, the Series B cash-pay notes are treated as having been being issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holder (as defined under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of a Series B cash-pay note will be required to include such original issue discount in gross income as it accrues, in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income and regardless of the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Certain Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Series B Cash-Pay Notes” for more detail.

The cash-pay notes, the Series B cash-pay notes and the toggle notes are each a separate series of notes under the indenture but are treated as a single class of securities under the indenture, except as otherwise stated herein. The cash-pay notes, the Series B cash-pay notes and the toggle notes will be treated as a single class for amendments and waivers affecting all such notes and for actions requiring the consent of holders of the notes, such as declaring certain defaults under the indenture governing the notes or accelerating the amounts due under the notes. Consequently, certain actions, including amendments and waivers, which will affect the holders of one series of the notes, may be accomplished whether or not the holders of that series of the notes consent to such action. As a result, the individual voting interest of the holders of the notes will be accordingly diluted.

Your right to receive payments on the notes and the guarantees is effectively subordinated to those lenders who have a security interest in our assets.

The Issuer’s obligations under the notes and the Guarantors’ obligations under their guarantees of the notes are unsecured, but TCEH’s obligations under its senior secured facilities and the Guarantors’ obligations under their guarantee of TCEH’s senior secured credit facilities are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and all of our capital stock and promissory notes and the capital stock of each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the foreign subsidiaries of the Guarantors. If TCEH is declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if TCEH defaults under its senior secured facilities, the lenders could declare all of the funds borrowed thereunder, together with accrued interest, immediately due and payable. If TCEH were unable to repay such indebtedness, the lenders could foreclose on the pledged assets described above to the exclusion of holders of the notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the notes at such time. Furthermore, if the lenders foreclose on the pledged assets and sell the pledged equity interests of a Guarantor under the notes, then a Guarantor will be released from its guarantee of the notes automatically and immediately upon such sale. In any such event, because the notes will not be secured by any of our assets or the equity interests in a guarantor, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims fully.

As of December 31, 2008, we had $22.4 billion principal amount of secured indebtedness, $22 billion of which was indebtedness under TCEH’s senior secured credit facilities, and TCEH had approximately $2.3 billion of available borrowing capacity under its senior secured facilities (excluding amounts available under TCEH’s commodity collateral posting facility).

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from the Guarantors.

The notes are guaranteed by EFC Holdings and primarily all of TCEH’s subsidiaries. The issuance of the guarantees by the Guarantors may be subject to review under state and federal laws if a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization case or a lawsuit, including in circumstances in which bankruptcy is not involved, were commenced at some future date by, or on behalf of, our unpaid creditors or the unpaid creditors of a Guarantor. Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court may void or otherwise decline to enforce a guarantor’s guarantee, or subordinate such guarantee to such guarantor’s existing and future indebtedness. While the relevant laws may vary from state to state, a court might do so if it found that when a guarantor entered into its guarantee or, in some states, when payments became due under such guarantee, such guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:

The court might also void a guarantee, without regard to the above factors, if the court found that a guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. In addition, any payment by a guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to such guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of such guarantor’s creditors. A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for such guarantee if such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes. If a court were to void a guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from a guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

To the extent a court voids any of the guarantees as a fraudulent transfer or holds any of the guarantees unenforceable for any other reason, holders of notes would cease to have any direct claim against the applicable Guarantor. If a court were to take this action, a Guarantor’s assets would be applied first to satisfy such Guarantor’s liabilities, if any, before any portion of its assets could be applied to the payment of the notes. Each guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce the Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes the guarantee worthless.

The interests of our controlling stockholders may differ from the interests of the holders of the notes.

The Sponsor Group indirectly owns approximately 60% of EFH Corp.’s capital stock on a fully-diluted basis through their investment in Texas Holdings. As a result of this ownership and the Sponsor Group’s ownership in interests of the general partner of Texas Holdings, the Sponsor Group has control over decisions regarding our operations, plans, strategies, finances and structure, including whether to enter into any corporate transaction and will have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of the stockholders of EFH Corp.

The interests of these persons may differ from your interests in material respects. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of the Sponsor Group, as equity holders of EFH Corp., might conflict with your interests as a note holder. The Sponsor Group may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a note holder.

This prospectus, including the information incorporated into this prospectus by reference to our 2008 Form 10-K, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that are included in this prospectus or our 2008 Form 10-K, or made in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise, that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate to occur in the future, including such matters as projections, capital allocation, future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, future acquisitions or dispositions, development or operation of power generation assets, market and industry developments and the growth of our businesses and operations (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projection,” “target,” and “outlook”), are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that in making any such forward-looking statement our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the discussion of risk factors under “Risk Factors” contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the section of our 2008 Form 10-K captioned “Risk Factors” and the following important factors, among others, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements:

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

The industry and market data and other statistical information used throughout this prospectus, including the industry and market data and other statistical information incorporated into this prospectus by reference to our 2008 Form 10-K, are based on independent industry publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources, including certain data published by ERCOT. We did not commission any of these publications or reports. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys, as well as the independent sources listed above. Independent industry publications and surveys generally state that they have obtained information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. While we believe that each of these studies and publications is reliable, we have not independently verified such data and make no representation as to the accuracy of such information. Forecasts are particularly likely to be inaccurate, especially over long periods of time, and we do not know what assumptions regarding general economic growth are used in preparing the forecasts included in this prospectus and our 2008 Form 10-K. Similarly, while we believe that our internal and external research is reliable, it has not been verified by any independent sources and we make no assurances that the predictions contained therein are accurate.

On October 10, 2007, Merger Sub, Texas Holdings’ wholly owned subsidiary, acquired EFH Corp. through a merger of Merger Sub with and into EFH Corp. under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each share of EFH Corp. common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares held by EFH Corp. or any of EFH Corp.’s subsidiaries or Texas Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, in each case not held on behalf of third parties, or shares held by holders who properly exercised their rights of dissent and appraisal under Texas law) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $69.25 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

EFH Corp.’s direct subsidiaries include EFC Holdings and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“Intermediate Holding”). EFC Holdings is the direct parent company of TCEH. Intermediate Holding is the parent of Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC (“Oncor Holdings”), the holding company for EFH Corp.’s electricity distribution and transmission business, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”).

EFH Corp. and Intermediate Holding and its subsidiaries, which includes Oncor, are not guarantors of the notes.

At the closing of the Merger, Texas Holdings received an aggregate equity investment of approximately $8.3 billion. Investment funds affiliated with the Sponsor Group, or their respective assignees, contributed approximately $5.1 billion to Texas Holdings. The Sponsor Group obtained approximately $2.3 billion in equity investments from other existing investors in KKR’s and TPG’s private equity funds and other third party investors. Following the closing of the Merger, the Sponsor Group owned approximately 62% of the limited partnership units issued by Texas Holdings in connection with the Merger.

The equity contributions by the Sponsor Group and the Investors are referred to herein as the “Equity Contributions.”

In connection with the Merger, in addition to the Equity Contributions described above, we entered into the following debt financing arrangements, in each case, arranged by a consortium of arrangers and bookrunners:

In addition, EFC Holdings, a guarantor of the notes, guaranteed the $4.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured interim loan facility of EFH Corp. (the “EFH Senior Interim Facility”), which was used to fund the Merger and related transactions.

In October 2007 and December 2007, the Issuer issued the notes. The proceeds from the offerings of the notes, along with cash on hand, were used by TCEH to repay in full the TCEH Senior Interim Facility.

In October 2007, EFH Corp. issued in a private offering $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “EFH Corp. cash-pay notes”) and $2,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11.250%/12.000% Senior Toggle Notes due 2017 (the “EFH Corp. toggle notes” and, together with the EFH Corp. cash-pay notes, the “EFH Corp. Notes”). EFC Holdings guaranteed the EFH Corp. Notes. The proceeds from the offering of the EFH Corp. Notes, along with cash on hand, were used by EFH Corp. to repay in full the EFH Senior Interim Facility.

Also, in connection with the Merger, EFH Corp.’s accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Program”), pursuant to which we sell trade accounts receivable to TXU Receivables Company, EFH Corp.’s consolidated wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote direct subsidiary, which sells undivided interests in the purchased accounts receivable for cash to special purpose entities established by financial institutions, was amended. In connection with the amendment, the special purpose entities established by the financial institutions requested that Oncor repurchase all of the receivables it had previously sold to TXU Receivables Company. Accordingly, Oncor repurchased its receivables.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, in September 2007, EFH Corp. commenced offers to purchase and consent solicitations with respect to $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of EFH Corp.’s outstanding 4.80% Series O Senior Notes due 2009, $250 million in aggregate principal amount of TCEH’s outstanding 6.125% Senior Notes due 2008 and $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of TCEH’s outstanding 7.000% Senior Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “Specified Notes”). On the closing date of the Merger, EFH Corp. purchased an aggregate of $996 million, $247 million and $995 million of the principal amount of these notes, respectively. In connection with the Merger, EFH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries redeemed and repaid an aggregate of approximately $5.5 billion of existing consolidated indebtedness (excluding indebtedness of Oncor), including debt that became payable upon the consummation of the Merger. We refer to the tender offers for the Specified Notes and the redemption and repayment of this outstanding indebtedness as the “Debt Repayment.”

Notes having substantially identical terms as the notes and the EFH Corp. Notes were registered with the SEC in December 2008 as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the notes and the EFH Corp. Notes. The exchange offers were completed in January 2009.

We refer to the transactions listed above, including the Merger and the application of the proceeds of the Equity Contributions and the Debt Financing, as the “Transactions.”

The sources and uses of the funds for the Transactions are shown in the table below.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, EFH Corp. and Oncor implemented several measures that are referred to as “ring-fencing.” Such measures included the following:

The ring-fencing measures are based on certain principles articulated by rating agencies and certain commitments made by Texas Holdings and Oncor to the PUCT and the FERC intended to further separate Oncor from Texas Holdings and its subsidiaries and to mitigate Oncor’s credit exposure to those entities and to reduce the risk that the assets and liabilities of Oncor Holdings or of any of its subsidiaries would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of Texas Holdings or of any of its other subsidiaries in the event of a bankruptcy of one or more of those entities. A number of ring-fencing measures put in place were incorporated into a PUCT order that is legally binding on Oncor.

The Transactions did not, and do not, provide for new pledges or encumbrances of the assets of Oncor for the benefit of EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (other than the ring-fenced entities). Oncor did not incur, guarantee or pledge assets in respect of any incremental new debt related to the Transactions. There was neither new debt issued by nor borrowing at Oncor to finance the Transactions. None of the ring-fenced entities will guarantee or otherwise hold out its credit as being available to support the obligations of EFH Corp. or any of its subsidiaries (other than the ring-fenced entities). In addition, lenders under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities and the holders of the notes and the EFH Corp. Notes have acknowledged, and the future holders of the notes will acknowledge, by acceptance of the notes, the legal separateness of Oncor and its subsidiaries from the borrowers and guarantors under

such financing documents. Lenders under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities and the holders of the notes and the EFH Corp. Notes also agreed, and the future holders of the notes will agree, by acceptance of the notes, that they will not initiate any bankruptcy proceedings against Oncor Holdings or its subsidiaries and that Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries are entitled to enforce this non-petition covenant. See “Description of the Notes—General.”

This prospectus may be delivered in connection with the resale of notes by the Market Maker and its affiliates in market-making transactions in the notes in the secondary market. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such transactions.

The following table summarizes our capitalization as of December 31, 2008. This table should be read in conjunction with the information included under the headings “The Transactions” and “Use of Proceeds” included elsewhere in this prospectus and in conjunction with our 2008 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, including the sections of our 2008 Form 10-K captioned “Selected Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in our 2008 Form 10-K.

The Issuer issued $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior notes due 2015 (the “Initial Cash Pay Notes”) under an Indenture dated as of October 31, 2007 (the “Initial Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Issuer issued $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2015, Series B (the “Series B Cash Pay Notes”) and $1,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.50%/11.25% optional PIK interest senior notes due 2016 (the “Toggle Notes”) under the Initial Indenture, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of December 6, 2007 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Initial Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The Initial Cash Pay Notes, the Series B Cash Pay Notes and the Toggle Notes each constitute a separate series of senior notes under the Indenture. Except as set forth herein, the Initial Cash Pay Notes, the Series B Cash Pay Notes and the Toggle Notes have substantially identical terms. The Initial Cash Pay Notes and the Series B Cash Pay Notes are collectively referred to as the “Cash Pay Notes.”

The Cash Pay Notes and the Toggle Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes.”

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture relating to each series of Notes and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, will define your rights as Holders of the Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth under the heading “Summary.”

The term “Issue Date” refers to October 31, 2007, the date the Initial Cash Pay Notes were issued, and the term “Toggle Notes issue date” refers to December 6, 2008, the date the Toggle Notes were issued.

The Notes were issued in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See “Notice to Investors.” Except as set forth herein, the terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

The Holders of the Notes have acknowledged, or by accepting the Notes, will acknowledge (i) the legal separateness of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries from Oncor Holdings and the other Oncor Subsidiaries, (ii) that the lenders under the Oncor Electric Delivery Facility and the holders of Oncor’s existing debt instruments have likely advanced funds thereunder in reliance upon the separateness of Oncor Holdings and the other Oncor Subsidiaries from the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries, (iii) that Oncor Holdings and the other Oncor Subsidiaries have assets and liabilities that are separate from those of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries, (iv) that the obligations owing under the Notes are obligations and liabilities of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the other Guarantors only, and are not the obligations or liabilities of Oncor Holdings or any of the other Oncor Subsidiaries, (v) that the Holders of the Notes shall look solely to the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries and their assets, and not to any assets, or to the pledge of any assets, owned by Oncor Holdings or any of the other Oncor Subsidiaries, for the repayment of any amounts payable pursuant to the Notes and for satisfaction of any other obligations owing to the Holders under the Indenture, the applicable Registration Rights Agreement and any related documents and (vi) that none of Oncor Holdings or any of the other Oncor Subsidiaries shall be personally liable to the Holders of the Notes for any amounts payable, or any other obligation, under the Indenture, the applicable Registration Rights Agreement or any related documents.

The Holders have further acknowledged and agreed and will further acknowledge and agree that Oncor Holdings and each of the other Oncor Subsidiaries is a third party beneficiary of the forgoing covenant and shall have the right to specifically enforce such covenant in any proceeding at law or in equity. The foregoing acknowledgements and agreements are contained in the Indenture.

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as Holders of the Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth under the heading “Prospectus Summary.”

The Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, will initially jointly and severally fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Indenture by executing the Indenture.

The Parent Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees the Issuer’s obligations under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities will initially guarantee the Notes. Each of the Guarantees of the Notes will be a general unsecured senior obligation of each Guarantor. The Guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor and are effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. The Guarantees are senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of each Guarantor. The Notes are structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not Guarantee the Notes.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent the Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.

Any entity that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

If a Guarantee were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from future guarantors, if any.”

Each Guarantee by a Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1) (a) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or sale of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(b) the release or discharge of its guarantee under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities or of the guarantee by such Guarantor that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;

(c) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(d) the exercise by the Issuer of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Each of the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer is a holding company for its Subsidiaries, with no material operations of its own and only limited assets. Accordingly, each of the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer is dependent upon the distribution of the earnings of its Subsidiaries, whether in the form of dividends, advances or payments on account of intercompany obligations, to service its debt obligations.

The Issuer will maintain one or more paying agents for the Notes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The initial paying agent for the Notes is the Trustee.

The Issuer also maintains a registrar with offices in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The initial registrar is the Trustee. The registrar will maintain a register reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfer of Notes on behalf of the Issuer.

The Issuer may change the paying agents or the registrars without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as a paying agent or registrar.

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

The Issuer issued $3,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Initial Cash Pay Notes on October 31, 2007. The Issuer issued $2,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series B Cash Pay Notes on December 6, 2007. The Cash Pay Notes mature on November 1, 2015.

The Issuer issued $1,750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Toggle Notes on December 6, 2007. The Toggle Notes will mature on November 1, 2016. On May 1, 2016, the Issuer will repay in full in U.S. Dollars an amount of Toggle Notes equal to $50,000,000, which shall be made on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount of Toggle Notes outstanding.

Subject to compliance with the covenant described below under “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” the Issuer may issue additional cash pay notes and/or toggle notes from time to time under the Indenture (any such cash pay notes or toggle notes, “Additional Notes”). The Notes are “Required Debt” under the Indenture, and we may issue additional debt securities that constitute Required Debt. In addition, in connection with the payment of PIK Interest (as defined below) or Partial PIK Interest (as defined below) in respect of Toggle Notes, the Issuer is entitled to, without the consent of the Holders, increase the outstanding principal amount of Toggle Notes or issue additional toggle notes (the “PIK Notes”) under the Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Toggle Notes (in each case, the “PIK Payment”). The Series B Cash Pay Notes, the Initial Cash Pay Notes and the Toggle Notes are each a separate series of Notes but are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture, except as otherwise stated herein. As a result, Holders of each series of Notes have no separate rights to, among other things, give notice of Defaults or to direct the Trustee to exercise remedies during an Event of Default or otherwise. Except as described under “—Amendment, Supplement and Waiver,” the Notes, the PIK Notes, any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture and any additional Required Debt issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of Notes” include any PIK Notes and Additional Notes that are actually issued, and references to “principal amount” of the Notes includes any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of a PIK Payment.

Interest on the Cash Pay Notes accrues at the rate of 10.25% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 to the Holders of Cash Pay Notes of record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15. Interest on the Cash Pay Notes accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date. Interest on the Cash Pay Notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Interest on the Toggle Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 to the Holders of Toggle Notes of record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15. Interest on the Toggle Notes accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Toggle Notes issue date. Interest on the Toggle Notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

For any interest payment period after the initial interest payment period and prior to November 1, 2012, the Issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Toggle Notes:

The Issuer must elect the form of interest payment for the Toggle Notes with respect to each interest period by delivering a notice to the Trustee prior to the beginning of each interest period. The Trustee shall promptly deliver a corresponding notice to the Holders. In the absence of such an election for any interest period, interest on the Toggle Notes shall be payable according to the election for the previous interest period. After November 1, 2012, the Issuer will make all interest payments on the Toggle Notes entirely in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of Toggle Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption—Toggle Notes” or “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders” shall be made solely in cash.

Cash Interest on the Toggle Notes accrues at a rate of 10.50% per annum and be payable in cash. PIK Interest on the Toggle Notes accrues at a rate of 11.25% per annum and be payable (x) with respect to Toggle Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of, or held by, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding global Toggle Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest $1,000) (or, if necessary, pursuant to the requirements of DTC, to authenticate new global Toggle Notes executed by the Issuer with such increased principal amounts) and (y) with respect to Toggle Notes represented by certificated notes, by issuing PIK Notes in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable period (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, at the request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in certificated form for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant record date, as shown by the records of the register of Holders. In the event that the Issuer elects to pay Partial PIK Interest for any interest period, each Holder will be entitled to receive Cash Interest in respect of 50% of the principal amount of the Toggle Notes held by such Holder on the relevant record date and PIK Interest in respect of 50% of the principal amount of the Toggle Notes held by such Holder on the relevant record date. Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding global Toggle Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the global Toggle Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. All Toggle Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Toggle Notes issued on the Toggle Notes issue date. Any certificated PIK Notes will be issued with the description PIK on the face of such PIK Note.

In October 2008, the Issuer delivered a notice to the Trustee of its election to make the May 1, 2009 interest payment on the Toggle Notes entirely using PIK Interest.

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency in New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

Except as set forth under “—Principal, Maturity and Interest” above, the Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders.” The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Except as set forth below, the Issuer is not entitled to redeem any series of Cash Pay Notes at its option prior to November 1, 2011.

At any time prior to November 1, 2011, the Issuer may redeem each of the Series B Cash Pay Notes or the Initial Cash Pay Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of such series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of such series of Cash Pay Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

On and after November 1, 2011, the Issuer may redeem each of the Series B Cash Pay Notes or the Initial Cash Pay Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of such series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of such series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of each of the years indicated below:

In addition, until November 1, 2010, the Issuer may, at its option, on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of each series of Cash Pay Notes at a redemption price equal to 110.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of such series of Cash Pay Notes to be redeemed of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 50% of the sum of the original aggregate principal amount of such series of Cash Pay Notes issued under the Indenture and the original principal amount of any Additional Notes that are Cash Pay Notes of such series to be redeemed issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction.

If the Issuer redeems less than all of the outstanding Cash Pay Notes of a series, the Trustee shall select the Cash Pay Notes of such series to be redeemed in the manner described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Selection and Notice.”

Except as set forth below, the Issuer is not entitled to redeem Toggle Notes at its option prior to November 1, 2012.

At any time prior to November 1, 2012, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Toggle Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Toggle Notes or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Toggle Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders of Toggle Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

On and after November 1, 2012, the Issuer may redeem the Toggle Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each Holder of Toggle Notes or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Toggle Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Toggle Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of each of the years indicated below:

In addition, until November 1, 2010, the Issuer may, at its option, on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Toggle Notes at a redemption price equal to 110.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Toggle Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 50% of the sum of the original aggregate principal amount of Toggle Notes issued under the Indenture and the original principal amount of any Additional Notes that are Toggle Notes issued under the Indenture after the Toggle Notes issue date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

At the end of any “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the issue date of the Toggle Notes (each, an “Optional Interest Repayment Date”), the Issuer may pay in cash, without duplication, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and all accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) on each Toggle Note then outstanding up to, in the aggregate, the Optional Interest Repayment Amount (each such redemption, an “Optional Interest Repayment”). The “Optional Interest Repayment Amount” means, as of each Optional Interest Repayment Date, the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest and all accrued and unpaid “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Toggle Notes, over (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) the “issue price” (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the Toggle Notes multiplied by (ii) the “yield to maturity” (as defined in the Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) of the Toggle Notes, minus (c) $50,000,000.

If the Issuer redeems less than all of the outstanding Toggle Notes, the Trustee shall select the Toggle Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Selection and Notice.”

The Indenture provides that if a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under “Optional Redemption” and will redeem all of the outstanding Notes pursuant thereto, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled “Change of Control” and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(7) that the Holders whose Notes are being repurchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(8) the other instructions, as determined by TCEH, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a Holder must follow.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law,

(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

The TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, and future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Indebtedness to which the Issuer becomes a party may, provide that certain change of control events with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default thereunder (including a Change of Control under the Indenture). If we experience a change of control that triggers a default under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or refinance the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, such default could result in amounts outstanding under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities being declared due and payable and could cause a Receivables Facility to be wound down.

Our ability to pay cash to the Holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by our then-existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.

The Change of Control purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of us and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Initial Purchasers and us. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “Certain Covenants—Liens.” Such restrictions in the Indenture can be waived with the consent of the Required Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders of the Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to any Person. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of the Issuer. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Notes may require the Issuer to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as described above.

The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Required Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt.

The Indenture provides that TCEH will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate, directly or indirectly, an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by TCEH) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on TCEH’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or that are owed to TCEH or an Affiliate of TCEH, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which TCEH and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all applicable creditors in writing,

(b) any securities received by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(a) Obligations under Senior Indebtedness which is Secured Indebtedness permitted by the Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(b) Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under “Optional Redemption,” through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or otherwise by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any;

(c) Obligations under the Existing Notes which have a final maturity date (as in effect on the Closing Date) on or prior to October 15, 2016; provided that, at the time of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase, redemption or defeasance, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds used to repurchase, redeem or defease Existing Notes pursuant to this subclause (c) following the Closing Date shall not exceed 3.5% of Total Assets at such time; or

(d) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than TCEH Finance, Inc.) that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to TCEH or another Restricted Subsidiary (or any affiliate thereof);

(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in TCEH or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business; or

(3) to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in TCEH or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as TCEH, or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) (and reinvest within the later of 450 days from the date of receipt of Net Proceeds and 180 days of receipt of such commitment) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within the later of (a) 180 days of such cancellation or termination or (b) the initial 450-day period; provided further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event that regulatory approval is necessary for an asset or investment, or replacement, repair or restoration on any asset or investment, then TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have an additional 365 days to apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the second preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required or permitted by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 10 Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Senior Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, TCEH may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Senior Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Senior Indebtedness tendered. Additionally, the Issuer may, at its option, make an Asset Sale Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after consummation of such Asset Sale; provided that such Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $25.0 million. Upon consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, any Net Proceeds not required to be used to purchase Notes shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and any remaining amounts may be used to make Restricted Payments to the extent permitted by clause (16) of the second paragraph described under the caption “Limitation on Restricted Payments.”

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

If the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes issued by it at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or (c) by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.

Notices of purchase or redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase or Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. If any Note is to be purchased or redeemed in part only, any notice of purchase or redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed. The notice will also state any conditions applicable to a redemption.

The Issuer will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, but such redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

TCEH will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(I) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of TCEH’s, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation other than:

(a) dividends or distributions by TCEH payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of TCEH; or

(b) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities;

(II) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of TCEH or any direct or indirect parent of TCEH, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

(III) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value in each case, prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than:

(b) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (I) through (IV) above (other than any exception thereto) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, TCEH could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the provisions of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock;” and

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (2) (with respect to the payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below) pursuant to clause (b) thereof only), (6)(c), (9) and (14) of the next succeeding paragraph, but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum of (without duplication):

(a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of TCEH for the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning October 1, 2007, to the end of TCEH’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit; plus

(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by TCEH, of marketable securities or other property received by TCEH since immediately after the Closing Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (12)(a) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”) from the issue or sale of:

(i)(A) Equity Interests of TCEH, including Treasury Capital Stock (as defined below), but excluding cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by TCEH, of marketable securities or other property received from the sale of:

(x) Equity Interests to members of management, directors or consultants of TCEH, any direct or indirect parent company of TCEH and TCEH’s Subsidiaries after the Closing Date to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph; and

(B) to the extent such net cash proceeds are actually contributed to the capital of TCEH, Equity Interests of TCEH’s direct or indirect parent companies (excluding contributions of the proceeds from the sale of Designated Preferred Stock of such companies or contributions to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph); or

(ii) debt securities of TCEH that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of TCEH;

provided, however, that this clause (b) shall not include the proceeds from (V) Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below), (W) Equity Interests or debt securities of TCEH sold to a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, (X) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for Disqualified Stock or (Y) Excluded Contributions; plus

(c) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by TCEH, of marketable securities or other property contributed to the capital of TCEH following the Closing Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds (i) have been used to incur Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (12)(a) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” (ii) are contributed by a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) constitute Excluded Contributions); plus

(d) 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the fair market value, as determined in good faith by TCEH, of marketable securities or other property received by means of:

(ii) the sale (other than to TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (7) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a distribution or dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date; plus

(e) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by TCEH in good faith (or if such fair market value exceeds $200.0 million, in writing by an Independent Financial Advisor), at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary other than to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (7) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment.

(1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

(2)(a) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Treasury Capital Stock”) or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of TCEH, in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of TCEH or any direct or indirect parent company of TCEH to the extent contributed to the capital of TCEH (in each case, other than any Disqualified Stock) (“Refunding Capital Stock”) and (b) if immediately prior to the retirement of Treasury Capital Stock, the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clause (6) of this paragraph, the declaration and payment of dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock (other than Refunding Capital Stock the proceeds of which were used to redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of TCEH) in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that were declarable and payable on such Treasury Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement;

(3) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor) made in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, which is incurred in compliance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” so long as:

(a) the principal amount (or accreted value) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value, plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness;

(5) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any class or series of Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary issued in accordance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Fixed Charges”;

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to (A) any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (7), (11) and (19), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof and (B) any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (17), no Default under clauses (1) or (2) under “Events of Default and Remedies” shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof or any payment default or bankruptcy event of default under the EFH Corp.

As of the Issue Date, all of TCEH’s Subsidiaries were Restricted Subsidiaries. TCEH will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or under clause (7), (10) or (11) of the second paragraph of this covenant, or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Indenture.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock

TCEH will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and TCEH will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that TCEH may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided, further, that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), more than an aggregate of $1,250.0 million of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors would be outstanding pursuant to this paragraph and clauses (12) and (14) below at such time.

(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under (x) Credit Facilities by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $26,500.0 million outstanding at any one time and (y) any Collateral Posting Facility;

(2) the incurrence by the Issuer and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including any Guarantee thereof) (other than any Additional Notes or Guarantees thereof);

(5) Indebtedness incurred by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation or employee health claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation or employee health claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence;

(6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of TCEH or its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of TCEH, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (6));

(7) Indebtedness of TCEH to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to TCEH or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (7);

(8) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to TCEH or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if the Issuer or a Guarantor incurs such Indebtedness to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (8);

(9) shares of Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to TCEH or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to TCEH or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted by this clause (9);

(10) Hedging Obligations; provided that (i) other than in the case of commodity Hedging Obligations, such Hedging Obligations are not entered into for speculative purposes (as determined by TCEH in its reasonable discretion acting in good faith) and (ii) in the case of speculative commodity Hedging Obligations, such Hedging Obligations are entered into in the ordinary course of business and are consistent with past practice;

(11) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(12)(a) Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of TCEH and Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary equal to 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received by TCEH since immediately after the Closing Date from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of TCEH or cash contributed to the capital of TCEH (in each case, other than Excluded Contributions or proceeds of Disqualified Stock or sales of Equity Interests to TCEH or any of its Subsidiaries) as determined in accordance with clauses (3)(b) and (3)(c) of the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” to the extent such net cash proceeds or cash have not been applied pursuant to such clauses to make Restricted Payments or to make other Investments, payments or exchanges pursuant to the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” or to make Permitted Investments (other than Permitted Investments specified in clauses (1) and (3) of the definition thereof) and (b) Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of TCEH and Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise permitted hereunder in an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference, which when aggregated with the principal amount and liquidation preference of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (12)(b), does not at any one time outstanding exceed $1,750.0 million (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred pursuant to this clause (12)(b) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (12)(b) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of the first paragraph of this covenant from and after the first date on which TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance on this clause (12)(b)); provided, however that on a pro forma basis, together with any amounts incurred and outstanding by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and clause (14), no more than $1,250.0 million of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock at any one time outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (12) shall be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors;

(13) the incurrence or issuance by TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred as permitted under the first paragraph of this covenant and clauses (2), (3), (4) and (12)(a) above, this clause (13) and clause (14) below or any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary issued to so refund or refinance such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary including additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and fees in connection therewith (the “Refinancing Indebtedness”) prior to its respective maturity; provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness:

(a) has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced,

(b) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness subordinated or pari passu to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the Notes or the Guarantee at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded or (ii) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, respectively, and

(c) shall not include Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary of TCEH that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of TCEH or a Guarantor;

and, provided, further, that subclause (a) of this clause (13) will not apply to any refunding or refinancing of any Obligations under Credit Facilities secured by Permitted Liens or the TCEH Senior Interim Facilities; provided, further, that with respect to any pollution control revenue bonds or similar instruments, the maturity of any series thereof shall be deemed to be the date set forth in any instrument governing such Indebtedness for the remarketing of such Indebtedness;

(14) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of (x) TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance an acquisition or (y) Persons that are acquired by TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either

(a) TCEH would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant, or

(b) such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of TCEH and the Restricted Subsidiaries is greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

provided, however that on a pro forma basis, together with any amounts incurred and outstanding by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and clause (12), no more than $1,250.0 million of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock at any one time outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (14) shall be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors;

(15) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two Business Days of its incurrence;

(16) Indebtedness of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to any Credit Facilities, in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit;

(17)(a) any guarantee by TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of the Indenture, or (b) any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of TCEH; provided that such guarantee is incurred in accordance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries”;

(18) Indebtedness of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consisting of (i) the financing of insurance premiums or (ii) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business;

(20) Indebtedness of TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary to EFH Corp. or any of its Subsidiaries consistent with past practice in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million; provided, that at the time of incurring, and after giving effect to, such Indebtedness, no Default described in clauses (1) and (2) under the caption “—Events of Default and Remedies” shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; provided, further, that any such Indebtedness owing to an entity that is not a Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (20) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, TCEH, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses; and

(2) at the time of incurrence, TCEH will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs above;

provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities on the Closing Date will be treated as incurred on the Closing Date under clause (1) of the preceding paragraph.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar- denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Indenture provides that TCEH will not, and will not permit TCEH Finance, Inc. or any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of TCEH, TCEH Finance, Inc. or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of TCEH, TCEH Finance, Inc. or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

The Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

TCEH will not, and will not permit TCEH Finance, Inc. or any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens;

except that the foregoing shall not apply to (a) Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees, (b) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit relating thereto, that was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and (c) Liens incurred to secure Obligations in respect of any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenant described above under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock;” provided that, with respect to Liens securing Obligations permitted under this subclause (c), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such event for which such calculation is being made shall occur, in each case with such pro forma adjustments to Indebtedness and EBITDA as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be no greater than 5.0 to 1.0. Any Lien which is granted to secure the Notes under this covenant shall be discharged at the same time as the discharge of the Lien (other than through the exercise of remedies with respect thereto) that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Notes.

Neither TCEH nor the Parent Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1) TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of TCEH or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);

(2) the Successor Company, if other than TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, expressly assumes (i) all the obligations of TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may, be under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement;

(4) in the case of TCEH, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period,

(a) the Successor Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” or

(b) such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause (b) of the second succeeding paragraph shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement; and

(6) TCEH shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplement shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for TCEH or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture and the Notes, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (3) and (4),

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to TCEH, and

(2) TCEH may merge with an Affiliate of TCEH, solely for the purpose of reincorporating TCEH in a State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Guarantor (other than the Parent Guarantor), no Guarantor will, and TCEH will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not TCEH or the Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1)(a) such Guarantor is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, as the case may be, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”);

(b) the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

(d) TCEH shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with the Indenture; or

(2) the transaction is made in compliance with the covenant described under “Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”

Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (i) merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or TCEH, (ii) merge with an Affiliate of TCEH solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or (iii) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor.

TCEH Finance, Inc. may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not TCEH Finance, Inc. is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of TCEH Finance, Inc.’s properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1)(a) concurrently therewith, a corporate Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of TCEH that is a Restricted Subsidiary organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof expressly assumes (i) all the obligations of TCEH Finance, Inc. under the Notes and the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement; or

(b) after giving effect thereto, at least one obligor on the Notes shall be a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof; and

(3) TCEH Finance shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with the Indenture and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplement shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

TCEH will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of TCEH (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to TCEH or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

(2) TCEH delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of TCEH approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above.

(4) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided for the benefit of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of TCEH, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) transactions in which TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to TCEH or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;

(6) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Closing Date);

(7) the existence of, or the performance by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (7) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole;

(8) the Transactions (including any payments made after the Closing Date in respect of the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries’ long-term incentive plan or in respect of tax gross-ups and other deferred compensation) and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions, in each case as disclosed in this prospectus;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, including EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture which are fair to TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors of TCEH or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(10) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of TCEH to any Permitted Holder or to any director, officer, employee or consultant;

(11) sales of accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any Receivables Facility for the benefit of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(13) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of TCEH, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and employment agreements, stock option plans and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are approved by TCEH in good faith;

(14) investments by the Investors in securities of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as (i) the investment is being offered generally to other investors on the same or more favorable terms and (ii) the investment constitutes less than 5% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities; and

(15) payments by TCEH (and any direct or indirect parent thereof) and its Subsidiaries pursuant to tax sharing agreements among TCEH (and any such parent) and its Subsidiaries on customary terms to the extent attributable to the ownership or operation of TCEH and its Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that TCEH, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent of amounts received from Unrestricted Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were TCEH and its Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity.

TCEH will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1)(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,

except (in each case) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Closing Date, including pursuant to the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities and the related documentation, the TCEH Senior Interim Facility and the related documentation and the Existing Notes Indentures and the related documentation;

(c) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (3) above on the property so acquired;

(e) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired;

(f) contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of TCEH pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(g) Secured Indebtedness that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness that is otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to the covenants described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “—Liens”;

(h) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(m) restrictions created in connection with any Receivables Facility for the benefit of TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, in the good faith determination of TCEH, are necessary or advisable to effect the transactions contemplated under such Receivables Facility; and

(n) restrictions or conditions contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase, sale, hedging or similar agreement to which TCEH or any Restricted Subsidiary of TCEH is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided, that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance solely to the property or assets of TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder and/or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of TCEH or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Restricted Subsidiary.

TCEH will not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of TCEH, TCEH Finance, Inc. or any Guarantor), other than TCEH Finance, Inc., a Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of TCEH, TCEH Finance, Inc. or any Guarantor unless:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor:

(a) if the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness, the Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to such Indebtedness; and

(b) if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee; and

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives, and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against TCEH or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

TCEH Finance, Inc. may not hold assets, become liable for any obligations or engage in any business activities; provided that it may be a co-obligor with respect to the Notes or any other Indebtedness issued by TCEH, and may engage in any activities directly related thereto or necessary in connection therewith. TCEH Finance, Inc. shall be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of TCEH at all times.

Notwithstanding that TCEH may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Indenture requires TCEH to file with the SEC (and make available to the Trustee and Holders of the Notes (without exhibits), without cost to any Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC) from and after the Issue Date,

(1) within 90 days (or any other time period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect to the filing of a Form 10-K by a non-accelerated filer) after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein, or required in such successor or comparable form;

(2) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q containing all quarterly information that would be required to be contained in Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form;

(3) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form; and

(4) any other information, documents and other reports which TCEH would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

in each case in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form; provided that TCEH shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event TCEH will make available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, in each case within 15 days after the time TCEH would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, each of the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer have agreed that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, it will furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of TCEH is or becomes a Guarantor of the Notes (including the Parent Guarantor), the Indenture permits TCEH to satisfy its obligations in this covenant with respect to financial information relating to TCEH by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to TCEH and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, TCEH will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (3) under “Events of Default and Remedies” until 60 days after the date any report hereunder is due.

The Indenture provides that each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Notes;

(3) failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Required Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Required Debt to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above) contained in the Indenture or the Notes;

(4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by TCEH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to TCEH or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both:

(a) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

(b) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $250.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

(5) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $250.0 million, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); or

(7) the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture.

If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in clause (6) above) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Required Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Required Debt may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (6) of the first paragraph of this section, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes.

The Indenture provides that the Required Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Required Debt by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder. In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee thereunder, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Required Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Required Debt have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) Required Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, under the Indenture the Required Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

The Indenture provides that TCEH is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and TCEH is required, within five Business Days, upon becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any of their parent companies (other than the Issuer and the Guarantors) shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the other Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the Indenture will terminate (other than certain obligations) and will be released upon payment in full of all of the Notes. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and have the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee (“Legal Defeasance”) and cure all then existing Events of Default except for:

(1) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to the Indenture;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and those of each Guarantor released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events pertaining to the Issuer) described under “Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code;

(7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

(8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when either:

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2)(a) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(b) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to the Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit, and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, any Guarantee and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Required Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Required Debt, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes issued thereunder or any Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Required Debt, other than Required Debt beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Required Debt).

The Indenture provides that, without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described under the caption “Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);

(4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Required Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Required Debt and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

The notes are represented by one or more global notes in registered form without interest coupons (collectively, the “global notes”). The global notes have been deposited with the trustee as custodian for DTC in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case, for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the global notes may not be exchanged for definitive notes in registered certificated form (“certificated notes”) except in the limited circumstances described below. See “—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the global notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form.

Transfers of beneficial interests in the global notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, Société Anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), which may change from time to time.

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the placement agents), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

Investors in the global notes who are Participants may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the global notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg) that are Participants. All interests in a global note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a global note to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of interests in the global notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on a global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, we and the trustee will treat the persons in whose names the notes, including the global notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the trustee nor any agent of ours or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be our responsibility or the responsibility of DTC or either trustee. Neither we nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and we and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

Transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by its respective depositary. However, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note from DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the global notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the global notes for legended notes in certificated form and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither we nor the trustee nor any of our or its agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

In addition, beneficial interests in a global note may be exchanged for certificated notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, certificated notes delivered in exchange for any global note or beneficial interests in global notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

We will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the global notes (including principal, interest and premium, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or its nominee. We will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to certificated notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the certificated notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the global notes are expected to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any certificated notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of interests in the global notes received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions involving interests in such global notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of interests in the global notes by or through a Clearstream, Luxembourg participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income and, in the case of non-U.S. holders (as defined below), estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes as of the date of this prospectus. Unless otherwise stated, this summary deals only with notes held as capital assets (generally, property held for investment).

As used herein, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes any of the following:

The term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes (other than a partnership or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. holder.

This summary does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are a person subject to special tax treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), United States Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those summarized below.

If a partnership (including any entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding notes, you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

This summary does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences that may be applicable to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. It is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular purchaser of notes. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the ownership of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Because (i) the yield-to-maturity on the toggle notes equals or exceeds the sum of (x) the “applicable federal rate” (as determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code) in effect for the calendar month in which the toggle notes were issued (the “AFR”) and (y) 5 percentage points, (ii) the maturity date of the toggle notes is more than five years from the date of issue and (iii) the toggle notes have “significant” original issue discount (“OID”), the toggle notes are considered “applicable high yield discount obligations”. Therefore we will not be allowed to take a deduction for interest (including OID) accrued on the toggle notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes until such time as we actually pay such interest (including OID) in cash or in other property (other than stock or debt issued by us or by a person deemed to be related to us under Section 453(f)(1) of the Code).

Moreover, because the yield-to-maturity on the toggle notes exceeds the sum of (x) the AFR and (y) 6 percentage points (such excess shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Disqualified Yield”), the deduction for interest (including OID) accrued on the toggle notes will be permanently disallowed (regardless of whether we actually pay such interest or OID in cash or in other property) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such interest or OID is attributable to the Disqualified Yield on the toggle notes (“Dividend-Equivalent Interest”).

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to U.S. holders of the notes.

Payments of Interest on Initial Cash-Pay Notes. Interest on an initial cash-pay note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Market Discount. If you purchase an initial cash-pay note for an amount that is less than its principal amount, the amount of the difference will be treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, an initial cash-pay note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the payment or disposition.

In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the initial cash-pay note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a note-by-note basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the initial cash-pay note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

Amortizable Bond Premium. If you purchase an initial cash-pay note for an amount in excess of its principal amount, you will be considered to have purchased the initial cash-pay note at a “premium.” You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the initial cash-pay note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the initial cash-pay note.

Sale, Exchange, Retirement, or Other Taxable Disposition of Cash-Pay Notes. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of an initial cash-pay note, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued interest, which will be taxable as interest income to the extent not previously included in income as discussed above) and the adjusted tax basis of the initial cash-pay note. Your adjusted tax basis in an initial cash-pay note will, in general, be your cost for that initial cash-pay note increased by any market discount previously included in income and reduced by any amortized premium. Except as described above with respect to market discount, any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Payments of Interest on Series B Cash-Pay Notes. Except as set forth below, “qualified stated interest” (as defined below) on a Series B cash-pay note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Original Issue Discount. The Series B cash-pay notes are treated as having been issued with OID in an amount equal to the difference between their “stated redemption price at maturity” (the sum of all payments to be made on the Series B cash-pay notes other than “qualified stated interest”) and their “issue price.” You generally must include OID in gross income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. However, you generally will not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the Series B cash-pay notes, even if denominated as interest, to the extent such payments do not constitute “qualified stated interest.”

The “issue price” of each Series B cash-pay note is the first price at which a substantial amount of the Series B cash-pay notes were sold (other than to an underwriter, placement agent or wholesaler). The term “qualified stated interest” means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices. The stated interest payments on the Series B cash-pay notes are qualified stated interest.

The amount of OID that you must include in income will generally equal the sum of the “daily portions” of OID with respect to the Series B cash-pay note for each day during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which you held such Series B cash-pay note (“accrued OID”). The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any “accrual period” a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The “accrual period” for a Series B cash-pay note may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the Series B cash-pay note, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period other than the final accrual period is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of:

OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable at maturity (other than a payment of qualified stated interest) and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final accrual period. The yield to maturity of the Series B cash-pay note is the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on the note as of its original issue date to equal the issue price of such note.

The “adjusted issue price” of a Series B cash-pay note at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period, determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition or bond premium, as described below. We are required to provide information returns stating the amount of OID accrued on Series B cash-pay notes held by persons of record other than corporations and other holders exempt from information reporting.

You may elect to treat all interest on a Series B cash-pay note as OID and calculate the amount includible in gross income under the constant yield method described above. The election is to be made for the taxable year in which you acquired the Series B cash-pay note, and may not be revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). You should consult with your own tax advisors about this election.

Market Discount. If you purchase a Series B cash-pay note for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price, the amount of the difference will be treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a Series B cash-pay note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the payment or disposition.

In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the Series B cash-pay note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a note-by-note basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the Series B cash-pay note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

Acquisition Premium, Amortizable Bond Premium. If you purchase a Series B cash-pay note for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price but equal to or less than the sum of all amounts payable on the Series B cash-pay note after the purchase date other than payments of qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased that Series B cash-pay note at an “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that you must include in gross income with respect to the Series B cash-pay note for any taxable year will be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year.

If you purchase a Series B cash-pay note for an amount in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the Series B cash-pay note after the purchase date other than qualified stated interest, you will be considered to have purchased the Series B cash-pay note at a premium and you will not be required to include any OID in income. You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the Series B cash-pay note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the Series B cash-pay note.

Sale, Exchange, Retirement, or Other Taxable Disposition of Series B Cash-Pay Notes. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a Series B cash-pay note, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid qualified stated interest, which will be taxable as interest income to the extent not previously included in income as discussed above) and the adjusted tax basis of the Series B cash-pay note. Your adjusted tax basis in a Series B cash-pay note will, in general, be your cost for that Series B cash-pay note increased by any OID or market discount previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium. Except as described above with respect to market discount, any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Original Issue Discount. Because the toggle notes provide us with the option to pay PIK interest in lieu of paying cash interest in any interest payment period until November 1, 2012, and because the issue price of the toggle notes is actually less than their stated redemption price at maturity, the toggle notes are treated as having been issued with OID, as described below. The issuance of PIK Notes generally is not treated as a payment of interest. Instead, the toggle note and any PIK Notes issued in respect of PIK interest thereon are treated as a single debt instrument under the OID rules.

The toggle notes are treated as having been issued with OID in an amount equal to the difference between their “stated redemption price at maturity” (the sum of all payments to be made on the toggle notes other than “qualified stated interest”) and their “issue price.” You generally must include OID in gross income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income.

The “issue price” of each toggle note is the first price at which a substantial amount of the toggle notes were sold (other than to an underwriter, placement agent or wholesaler). The term “qualified stated interest” means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate or, subject to certain conditions, based on one or more interest indices. Because we have the option in any interest payment period until November 1, 2012 to make interest payments in PIK interest instead of paying cash, the stated interest payments on the toggle notes are not qualified stated interest.

The amount of OID that you must include in income will generally equal the sum of the “daily portions” of OID with respect to the toggle note for each day during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which you held such toggle note (“accrued OID”). The daily portion is determined by allocating to each day in any “accrual period” a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The “accrual period” for a toggle note may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the toggle note, provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period other than the final accrual period is an amount equal to the product of the toggle note’s adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and its yield to maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period). OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable at maturity and the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the final accrual period. The yield to maturity of the toggle note is the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on the note as of its original issue date to equal the issue price of such note. For purposes of determining the yield to maturity, the assumption is that we will pay interest in cash and not exercise the option to pay PIK interest, except in respect of any period in which we actually elect to pay PIK interest.

The “adjusted issue price” of a toggle note at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period, determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition or bond premium, as described below, and reduced by any cash payments previously made on such toggle note. We are required to provide information returns stating the amount of OID accrued on toggle notes held by persons of record other than corporations and other holders exempt from information reporting.

If we in fact pay interest in cash on the toggle notes, you will not be required to adjust your OID inclusions. Each payment made in cash under a toggle note will be treated first as a payment of any accrued OID that has not been allocated to prior payments and second as a payment of principal. You generally will not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the toggle notes to the extent such payments constitute payments of previously accrued OID or payments of principal.

With respect to any interest payment period for which we exercise our option to pay interest in the form of PIK interest, including the interest period related to the May 1, 2009 interest payment date, your OID calculation for future periods will be adjusted by treating the toggle note as if it had been retired and then reissued for an amount equal to its adjusted issue price on the date preceding the first date of such interest payment period, and recalculating the yield to maturity of the reissued note by treating the amount of PIK interest (and of any prior PIK interest) as a payment that will be made on the maturity date of such note.

The rules regarding OID are complex and the rules described above may not apply in all cases. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisors regarding their application.

Applicable High Yield Discount Obligations. For purposes of the dividends-received deduction, the Dividend-Equivalent Interest, as defined above under “Certain Tax Consequences to the Company”, will be treated as a dividend to the extent it is deemed to have been paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, if you are a corporation, you may be entitled, subject to applicable limitations, to take a dividends-received deduction with respect to any Dividend-Equivalent Interest received by you on such toggle note.

Market Discount. If you purchase a toggle note for an amount that is less than its adjusted issue price, the amount of the difference will be treated as “market discount” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a toggle note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the payment or disposition.

In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the toggle note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a note-by-note basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the toggle note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

Acquisition Premium, Amortizable Bond Premium. If you purchase a toggle note for an amount that is greater than its adjusted issue price but equal to or less than the sum of all amounts payable on the toggle note after the purchase date, you will be considered to have purchased that toggle note at an “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that you must include in gross income with respect to the toggle note for any taxable year will be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year.

If you purchase a toggle note for an amount in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the toggle note after the purchase date, you will be considered to have purchased the toggle note at a premium and you will not be required to include any OID in income. You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the toggle note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the toggle note.

Sale, Exchange, Retirement, or Other Taxable Disposition of Toggle Notes. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a toggle note (or a PIK Note), you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition and the adjusted tax basis of the toggle note (or the PIK Note). Your adjusted tax basis in a toggle note will, in general, be your cost for the toggle note, increased by OID or market discount previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium and any cash payments on the toggle note. Although not free from doubt, your adjusted tax basis in the toggle note should be allocated between the original toggle note and any PIK Notes received in respect of PIK interest thereon in proportion to their relative principal amounts. Your holding period in any PIK Note received in respect of PIK interest would likely be identical to your holding period for the original toggle note with respect to which the PIK Note was received. Except as described above with respect to market discount, any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences that will apply to non-U.S. holders of the notes.

U.S. Federal Withholding Tax. The 30% U.S. federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of interest (which for these purposes includes OID) on the notes under the “portfolio interest rule,” provided that:

If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest (including OID) made to you will be subject to the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed:

The 30% U.S. federal withholding tax generally will not apply to any payment of principal or gain that you realize on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note.

U.S. Federal Income Tax. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest (including OID) on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), then you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that interest (including OID) on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, provided you furnish us with a properly executed IRS Form W-8 ECI as discussed above in “—U.S. Federal Withholding Tax”) in generally the same manner as if you were a U.S. holder. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of such interest (including OID), subject to adjustments.

Any gain realized on the disposition of a note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

If a non-U.S. holder of notes is described in the first bullet point above, any gain realized upon a sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of the notes will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as effectively connected interest as described above. If a non-U.S. holder of notes is described in the second bullet point above, any gain realized upon a sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition of the notes will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a statutory rate of 30%, which gain may be offset by certain losses.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax. Your estate will not be subject to U.S. federal estate tax on notes beneficially owned by you at the time of your death, provided that any payment to you on the notes would be eligible for exemption from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax under the “portfolio interest rule” described above under “—U.S. Federal Withholding Tax” without regard to the statement requirement described in the fifth bullet point of that section.

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal and interest (including OID) paid on the notes and to the proceeds of sale or other disposition (including retirement or a redemption) of a note paid to you (unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation). Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification that you are not subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

In general, we must report to the IRS and to you the amount of interest (including OID) paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest (including OID) on the notes that we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code and we have received from you the required certification that you are a non-U.S. holder described above in the fifth bullet point under “—Certain Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—U.S. Federal Withholding Tax.”

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other taxable disposition (including retirement or a redemption) of notes within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless you certify to the payor under penalties of perjury that you are a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code), or you otherwise establish an exemption.

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to ERISA, plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws, rules or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan, plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties.

In considering an investment in the notes with a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we, the Guarantors or the Market Maker are considered a party in interest or disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. Included among the exemptions that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the notes are the U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1, respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38, respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60, respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23, respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide limited relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the ERISA Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

Because of the foregoing, the notes should not be acquired or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such acquisition and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

Accordingly, by acceptance of a note, each holder and subsequent transferee will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such holder or transferee to acquire or hold the notes or any interest therein constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the notes or any interest therein by such holder or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering acquiring or holding the notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such transactions and whether an exemption would be applicable to the acquisition and holding of the notes.

This prospectus is to be used by the Market Maker and its affiliates in connection with offers and sales of the notes in market-making transactions in the secondary market effected from time to time.

The Market Maker and its affiliates may act as principal or agent in such transactions, including as agent for the counterparty when acting as principal or as agent for both counterparties, and may receive compensation in the form of discounts and commissions, including from both counterparties, when it acts as agents for both. Such sales will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related thereto or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales.

From time to time, the Market Maker and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide from time to time, investment banking and commercial banking services and financial advisory services to us for which they have in the past received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. In addition, the Market Maker and certain of its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide from time to time, certain investment banking and commercial banking services and financial advisory services for certain of our subsidiaries and for the members of the Sponsor Group and certain of their affiliates, for which they have received, or will receive, customary fees.

The Market Maker is one of the members of the Sponsor Group. See “The Transactions-Equity Contributions.” The Sponsor Group indirectly owns approximately 60% of our capital stock on a fully-diluted basis through its investment in Texas Holdings, which owns approximately 99% of EFH Corp.’s capital stock. Affiliates of the Market Maker may be deemed, as a result of their ownership of approximately 27% of the General Partner’s outstanding units and certain provisions of the General Partner’s LLC Agreement, to have shared voting or dispositive power over Texas Holdings.

Each of Scott Lebovitz, Kenneth Pontarelli and Thomas Ferguson, who are members of EFH Corp.’s board of directors, are employees of the Market Maker or its affiliates.

An affiliate of the Market Maker is a co-documentation agent, joint lead arranger and joint lead bookrunner for, and a lender under, the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities. This affiliate is also the sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner and posting agent for the TCEH Commodity Collateral Posting Facility. An affiliate of the Market Maker is a co-documentation agent, joint lead arranger and joint lead bookrunner for, and a lender under, the Oncor Revolving Credit Facility. The Market Maker acted as dealer manager for the offers to purchase and consent solicitations with respect to the Specified Notes. See “The Transactions—Debt Financing.”

The Market Maker acted as an initial purchaser in connection with the original sale of the notes, as well as the sale of the EFH Corp. Notes, and received a customary underwriting discount in connection with those transactions. The Market Maker and/or its affiliates currently own, and may from time to time trade, the notes for their own accounts in connection with their principal activities. Such sales may be made pursuant to this prospectus or otherwise pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. Additionally, in the future, the Market Maker and/or its affiliates may, from time to time, own notes as a result of market-making activities.

We have been advised by the Market Maker that, subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Market Maker or its affiliates currently intend to make a market in the notes. However, the Market Maker is not obligated to do so, and any such market-making may be interrupted or discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, such market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will be sustained. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes.”

Pursuant to registration rights agreement entered into among us and representatives of the Market Maker, we have agreed to indemnify the Market Maker against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreements also provide that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the market-making activities of the Market Maker and its affiliates.

Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.”), the parent of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings LLC (“TCEH”) and TCEH Finance, Inc., is a corporation formed under the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”).

Section 8.051 of the TBOC states that: (a) An enterprise shall indemnify a governing person, former governing person, or delegate against reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with a proceeding in which the person is a respondent because the person is or was a governing person or delegate if the person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. (b) A court that determines, in a suit for indemnification, that a governing person, former governing person, or delegate is entitled to indemnification under this section shall order indemnification and award to the person the expenses incurred in securing the indemnification.

Section 8.052 states that (a) On application of a governing person, former governing person, or delegate and after notice is provided as required by the court, a court may order an enterprise to indemnify the person to the extent the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances. (b) This section applies without regard to whether the governing person, former governing person, or delegate applying to the court satisfies the requirements of Section 8.101 or has been found liable: (1) to the enterprise; or (2) because the person improperly received a personal benefit, without regard to whether the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person’s official capacity. (c) The indemnification ordered by the court under this section is limited to reasonable expenses if the governing person, former governing person, or delegate is found liable: (1) to the enterprise; or (2) because the person improperly received a personal benefit, without regard to whether the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person’s official capacity.

Section 8.101 states that (a) An enterprise may indemnify a governing person, former governing person, or delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 8.102 if it is determined in accordance with Section 8.103 that: (1) the person: (A) acted in good faith; (B) reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in the person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the enterprise’s best interests; and (ii) in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the enterprise’s best interests; and (C) in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful; (2) with respect to expenses, the amount of expenses other than a judgment is reasonable; and (3) indemnification should be paid. (b) Action taken or omitted by a governing person or delegate with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of the person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by the person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan is for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the enterprise. (c) Action taken or omitted by a delegate to another enterprise for a purpose reasonably believed by the delegate to be in the interest of the other enterprise or its owners or members is for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the enterprise. (d) A person does not fail to meet the standard under Subsection (a)(1) solely because of the termination of a proceeding by: (1) judgment; (2) order; (3) settlement; (4) conviction; or (5) a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent.

Section 8.102 states that (a) Subject to Subsection (b), an enterprise may indemnify a governing person, former governing person, or delegate against: (1) a judgment; and (2) expenses, other than a judgment, that are reasonable and actually incurred by the person in connection with a proceeding. (b) Indemnification under this subchapter of a person who is found liable to the enterprise or is found liable because the person improperly received a personal benefit: (1) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding; (2) does not include a judgment, a penalty, a fine, and an excise or similar tax, including an excise tax assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and (3) may not be made in relation to a proceeding in which the person has been found liable for: (A) willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the enterprise; (B) breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the enterprise; or (C) an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the enterprise. (c) A governing person, former governing person, or delegate is considered to have been found liable in relation to a claim, issue, or matter only if the liability is established by an order, including a judgment or decree of a court, and all appeals of the order are exhausted or foreclosed by law.

Article IX of the Restated Certificate of Formation of EFH Corp. provides as follows:

1. Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article IX, each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, or any appeal in such a proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a proceeding (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, and indemnification under this Article IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Article IX shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article IX shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article IX could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.

2. Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article IX shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred by a person of the type entitled to be indemnified above who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without any determination as to the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such person in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of a written affirmation by such indemnified person of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article IX and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or if such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

3. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation, by adoption of a resolution by the board of directors or a duly appointed committee of the board of directors, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Corporation to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers under this Article IX; and the Corporation, by adoption of a resolution by the board of directors or a duly appointed committee of the board of directors, may indemnify and advance expenses to persons who are not or were not directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation but who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in such a capacity or arising out of his or her status as such a person to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers under this Article IX.

4. Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX, the Corporation may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, agent or other person in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a proceeding at a time when he or she is not a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

5. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which a director or officer or other person indemnified pursuant to this Article IX may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of this certificate of formation or the bylaws of the Corporation, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

6. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase, procure, establish and maintain, at its expense, insurance or another arrangement to indemnify or hold harmless, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, proprietorship, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article IX.

7. Savings Clause. If this Article IX or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer or any other person indemnified pursuant to this Article IX as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article IX that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

For purposes of this Article IX, the term “Corporation” shall include any predecessor of the Corporation and any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger; the term “other enterprise” shall include any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan; service “at the request of the Corporation” shall include service as a director, officer, manager, member or employee of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, manager, member or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan which such person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

Article X of the Restated Certificate of Formation of EFH Corp. provides as follows:

A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director, except that this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the extent the director is found liable under applicable law for:

(a) a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders;

(b) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to the Corporation or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

(c) a transaction from which the director received an improper benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s duties; or

(d) an act or omission for which the liability of the director is expressly provided for by an applicable statute.

If the TBOC is amended to authorize action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article X shall not adversely affect any right of protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

Without further specific approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, the Corporation may purchase, enter into, maintain or provide insurance, indemnification or other arrangements for the benefit of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving another entity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, member, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, including without limitation Chapter 8 of the Texas Business Organizations Code or any successor provision, against any liability asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s service in such capacity whether or not the Corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify against any such liability under the Texas Business Organizations Code. If the laws of the State of Texas are amended to authorize the purchase, entering into, maintaining or providing of insurance, indemnification or other arrangements in the nature of those permitted hereby to a greater extent than presently permitted, then the Corporation shall have the power and authority to purchase, enter into, maintain and provide any additional arrangements in such regard as shall be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of Texas without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation. No repeal or modification of such laws or this Section 15 shall adversely affect any such arrangement or right to indemnification existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

EFH Corp. maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that covers the directors and officers of each of the registrants in amounts that EFH Corp. believes are customary for companies similarly situated, including for liabilities in connection with the registration, offering and sale of the notes.

In addition, pursuant to the Management Agreement entered into with the members of the Sponsor Group and their affiliates, EFH Corp. has agreed to customary exculpation and indemnification provisions for the benefit of the members of the Sponsor Group, their affiliates, directors, officers and certain other persons. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Management Services Agreement” in the prospectus included in this registration statement.

In addition to indemnification by EFH Corp. pursuant to its Restated Certificate of Formation and its Amended and Restated Bylaws, the directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents and similar functionaries of the co-registrants are generally also entitled to or may receive, at the discretion of the board of managers or directors of the co-registrants, indemnification and exculpation for certain monetary damages to the extent provided in the co-registrants’ organizational documents or under the statutes under which the co-registrants are organized. Such provisions applicable to TCEH and TCEH Finance are described below.

TCEH is a limited liability company formed under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”).

Section 18-108 of the DLLCA empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager of the limited liability company from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Section 2.06 of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of TCEH provides as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Delaware Act, neither any Member nor any Manager shall be liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise), including, without limitation, under a judgment, decree or order of a court, by reason of being a Member or acting as a Manager of the Company.

(b) Each Member shall have the same limitation of personal liability as is extended to stockholders of a private corporation for profit incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(c) No Manager or Officer shall be subject in such capacity to any personal liability whatsoever to any Person, other than the Company or any Member, in connection with the assets or the affairs of the Company; and, subject to the provisions of Article XII, all such Persons shall look solely to the assets of the Company for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Company.

(d) The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of the Company or its affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members, Managers or the Officers for liabilities of the Company.

(e) Such protections from personal liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide greater or broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment).

Section 2.07 of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of TCEH provides as follows:

The Company shall be operated in such a manner as the Managers deem reasonable and necessary or appropriate to preserve (a) the limited liability of each of the Members (or their successors) in the Company and (b) the separateness of the Company from the business of each Member of the Company or any other Affiliate thereof.

Article XII of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of TCEH provides as follows:

SECTION 12.01. Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article XII each Person (for purposes of this Article XII, the term “Person” shall include only natural persons) who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, or any appeal in such a proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a proceeding (hereafter a “Proceeding“) , by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Manager or Officer, or while such Manager or Officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, director, manager, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, partnership, trust, sole proprietorship, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding and indemnification under this Article XII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article XII could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability.

SECTION 12.02. Limitation on Indemnification. Subject to applicable law, notwithstanding any language in this Article XII to the contrary, in no event shall any Person be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII if it is established or admitted:

(b) by such Person in any affidavit, sworn statement, plea arrangement or other cooperation with any government or regulatory authority that:

(i) the Person’s acts or omissions that would otherwise be subject to indemnification under this Article XII were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

(ii) such Person personally gained a profit to which he or she was not legally entitled with an action or omission that would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII.

SECTION 12.03. Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article XII shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified above who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, without any determination as to such Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under, upon receipt of a written affirmation by such Person of such Person’s good faith belief that such Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under applicable law and this Article XII and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Article XII or if such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

SECTION 12.04. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company by adoption of a resolution by the Board of Managers, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to any Manager or Officer under this Article XII; and the Company, by adoption of a resolution by the Board of Managers, may indemnify and advance expenses to any Person who is or was not a Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company but who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, partnership, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of such Person’s status as such to the same extent and subject to the same conditions that the Company may indemnify and pay any advance expenses to any Manager or Officer under this Article XII.

SECTION 12.05. Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a Manager, Officer, employee, agent or other Person in connection with his or her appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he or she is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.

SECTION 12.06. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The indemnification and advancement and payment of expenses provided by this Article XII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a Manager, Officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article XII may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of this Agreement, any agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 12.07. Contract Rights. The rights granted pursuant to this Article XII shall be deemed to be contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article XII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal.

SECTION 12.08. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement, at its expense, on behalf of itself or any Person who is or was serving as a Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, partnership, corporation, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability, expense or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability, expense or loss under the provisions of this Article XII.

SECTION 12.09. Savings Clause. If this Article XII or any portion of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, Officer or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article XII as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article XII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

For purposes of this Article XII, the terms “Company” shall include any predecessor of the Company and any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed by the Company in a consolidation or merger; the terms “other enterprise” shall include any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan; service “at the request of the Company” shall include service as an Officer, Manager, Member or employee of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Officer, Manager, Member or employee with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; any excise taxes assessed on a Person with respect to an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to be indemnifiable expenses; and action by a Person with respect to an employee benefit plan which such Person reasonably believes to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of such plan shall be deemed to be action not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

TCEH Finance, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Section 145 of the grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

The eighth article of the certificate of incorporation of TCEH Finance, Inc. provides as follows:

EIGHTH. A director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more that a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrants are subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use; and

(5) that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 11A or 12 of this Form S-1, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Dallas, State of Texas, on March 18, 2009.
