Carve Out (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order); (b) the Carve Out (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order); and (c) the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order).

(b) Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Debtors, the Required TCEH Creditor Parties, and the TCEH Official Committee, in connection with the Plan or upon consummation of an Alternative Restructuring, the TCEH First Lien Agent and the Settling TCEH First Lien Creditors will waive any recovery or distribution on account of (but not voting rights in respect of) such Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims (including on account of any recovery or distribution provided for in Section 2.2(a) of this Settlement Agreement) (the “Limited Waiver”) for the benefit of the holders of Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH (collectively, the “Beneficiary-Claimants”), such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to the Plan or an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims; provided, however, that, (x) if the Bankruptcy Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) determines that the Limited Waiver cannot be for the benefit of only the Beneficiary-Claimants, or (y) the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee each agree, in consultation with the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors, that the Limited Waiver should benefit any non-Beneficiary-Claimants (in whole or in part), then the Limited Waiver shall be for the benefit of the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors as ordered by such court or agreed to by the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee, in consultation with the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors, but in no event shall include the holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims, such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to the Plan or an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Limited Waiver shall not increase the aggregate amount of payments, distributions or transfers required pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Settlement Agreement and only relates to the allocation of such payments, distributions and transfers as between the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors.

3.9	Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Settlement Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the Parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Settlement Agreement in the Bankruptcy Court, and solely in connection with claims arising under this Settlement Agreement: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and the constitutional authority of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court; and (iii) waives any objection that the Bankruptcy Court is an inconvenient forum, does not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto, or lacks the constitutional authority to enter final orders in connection with such action or proceeding; provided, however, that this Settlement Agreement and the releases set forth herein may be submitted in any court, arbitration, and/or other legal proceeding to enforce the terms of such releases.

(b) Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Settlement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory).

3.10	No Admission of Liability.

Each Party enters into this Settlement Agreement without admitting any liability or conceding any allegations not already expressly admitted. This Settlement Agreement and its provisions shall not be offered or received in evidence in any action or proceeding as an admission or concession of liability or wrongdoing of any nature on the part of any Party except that it may be offered and received in evidence solely to enforce this Settlement Agreement.

3.11	Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein, nothing in this Settlement Agreement is intended to benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any person other than the Parties hereto (and their affiliated persons and entities who are intended to be beneficiaries of the releases and settlements set forth herein).

3.13	Entire Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement, including any exhibits, annexes and/or schedules hereto and the exhibits, annexes, and/or schedules thereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Settlement Agreement and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between and among the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Settlement Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that it is executing this Settlement Agreement without reliance on any representations, warranties or commitments other than those representations, warranties and commitments expressly set forth in this Settlement Agreement.

3.14	Modification or Amendment.

This Settlement Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by (i) the Required TCEH Creditor Parties, (ii) all of the undersigned Settling Interest Holders, (iii) the Debtors and (iv) the TCEH Official Committee; provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment, or supplement has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on any Settling Creditor (in its capacity as a TCEH First Lien Creditor, holder of TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, or holder of TCEH Second Lien Note Claims), then the consent of each such disproportionately affected Settling Creditor shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, or supplement.

3.15	Further Assurances.

From and after the Settlement Effective Date, each of the Parties agrees to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered all such agreements, instruments and documents and take or cause to be taken all such further actions as may reasonably be necessary from time to time to carry out the intent and purpose of this Settlement Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

3.16	Successors and Assigns.

Except as otherwise provided in this Settlement Agreement, this Settlement Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.

3.17	Interpretation.

This Settlement Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and the enforcement or interpretation of this Settlement Agreement is to be interpreted in a neutral manner and in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code; and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party (or its counsel) having drafted or caused to be drafted this Settlement Agreement or any portion of this Settlement Agreement, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation of this Settlement Agreement.

3.18	Settlement Discussions.

This Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement among the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. To the extent provided by Federal Rule of Evidence 408, all applicable mediation privileges, and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Settlement Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement.

3.19	Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Settlement Agreement by any Party, that such breach would represent irreparable harm, and that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages), but no other form of equitable relief, as the sole remedy for any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder; provided, that each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

3.20

Headings.

Titles and headings in this Settlement Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to affect the interpretation or construction of the Settlement Agreement.

3.21	Execution of Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

3.22	Non-Severability of Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement is to be construed as a whole, and all provisions of it are to be read and construed together. Notwithstanding anything in this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order to the contrary, and in light of the integrated nature of the settlements and compromises embodied in this Settlement Agreement and the Settlement Order, in the event that (a) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final order ruling that any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order are void, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any material respect, or (b) any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order are reversed, vacated, overturned, voided, or unwound in any material respect, then in each case, the entirety of this Settlement Agreement (other than this Section 3.22) shall be void ab initio and of no force and effect and, during any subsequent proceeding, the Parties shall not assert claim preclusion, issue preclusion, estoppel or any similar defense in respect of rights and claims of the Parties that were the subject of this Settlement Agreement prior to this Settlement Agreement being of no force or effect; provided, however, that, the Settlement Agreement being rendered void ab initio and of no force and effect in accordance herewith shall not impair the force and effect of the Plan Support Agreement or any order authorizing the Debtors entry into the Plan Support Agreement.
