(4) INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the 2022 Second Lien Notes under an Indenture, dated as of April 25, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 6, 2012, between the Issuer and the Trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2012, between the Issuer and the Trustee, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 31, 2012, between the Issuer and the Trustee, and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2012 (the Base Indenture as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.

(b) If EFIH or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale (other than an Asset Sale of Collateral or other Oncor-related Assets), within 10 Business Days of each date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, EFIH 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 (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. 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, EFIH 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 such Senior Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Senior Indebtedness tendered.

A-6

aggregate principal amount of such Secured Lien Debt that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Indenture and the other applicable Secured Debt Documents; provided that in any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer, all Senior Lien Debt properly tendered will be purchased before any Junior Lien Debt is purchased; provided that in the event EFIH or such Restricted Subsidiary cannot make an offer to the holders of Senior Lien Debt and holders of Junior Lien Debt at the same time, EFIH or such Restricted Subsidiary may make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer to the holders of Senior Lien Debt first and make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer to the holders of Junior Lien Debt thereafter with any Collateral Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Senior Lien Debt as soon as practicable upon consummation of the Collateral Asset Sale Offer for the Senior Lien Debt. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Secured Lien Debt tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, or sequential Collateral Asset Sale Offers to holders of Senior Lien Debt and Junior Lien Debt as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, is less than the Collateral Excess Proceeds, EFIH and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Secured Lien Debt surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, all Senior Lien Debt properly tendered will be purchased before any Junior Lien Debt is purchased and thereafter the Notes and any other Junior Lien Debt will be purchased on a pro rata basis based upon the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such other Junior Lien Debt tendered.

(e) The Issuer (and, if applicable, EFH Corp.) may, at its option, make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale of Collateral or any other Oncor-related Assets at any time after consummation of such Asset Sale; provided that such Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $25.0 million. Upon consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale Offer, or sequential Collateral Asset Sale Offers to holders of Senior Lien Debt and Junior Lien Debt, any Net Proceeds not required to be used to purchase Secured Lien Debt shall not be deemed Collateral Excess Proceeds and the Issuer and EFIH’s Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Net Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in the Indenture.

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The 2022 Second Lien Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of 2022 Second Lien Notes may be registered and 2022 Second Lien Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any 2022 Second Lien Notes or portion of 2022 Second Lien Notes selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any 2022 Second Lien Notes being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any 2022 Second Lien Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2022 Second Lien Notes to be redeemed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all principal of, and premium, if any, interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and any other monetary obligations on, all the then outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Required Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Required Debt may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any)) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Required Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Required Debt by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Required Holders of all of the Required Debt waive any existing Default and/or its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. EFIH is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and EFIH is required within five Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action EFIH proposes to take with respect thereto.
