THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date specified above, is entered into by and between TCEH Corp., a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the Participant specified above, pursuant to the TCEH Corp. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is administered by the Committee; and

WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the Non-Qualified Stock Option provided herein to the Participant.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:

1. Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time unless such amendments are expressly intended not to apply to the Award provided hereunder), all of which terms and provisions are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they were each expressly set forth herein. Except as provided otherwise herein, any capitalized term not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. No part of the Option granted hereby is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

2. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date specified above, a Non-Qualified Stock Option (this “Option”) to acquire from

the Company at the Per Share Exercise Price specified above, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified above (the “Option Shares”). Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, the Participant agrees and understands that nothing contained in this Agreement provides, or is intended to provide, the Participant with any protection against potential future dilution of the Participant’s interest in the Company for any reason. The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by the Option unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property, distributions or other rights in respect of any such shares, except as otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or this Agreement.

3. Vesting and Exercise.

(a) Vesting. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) to 3(e), the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows, provided that the Participant has not incurred a Termination prior to each such vesting date:

Vesting Date		Percentage of Option Shares
First Anniversary of Emergence Date			25	%
Second Anniversary of Emergence Date			25	%
Third Anniversary of Emergence Date			25	%
Fourth Anniversary of Emergence Date			25	%

For purposes of this Agreement, “Emergence Date” has the same meaning as “TCEH Effective Date” (as defined in that certain Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code). There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate vesting date, subject to the Participant’s continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on each applicable vesting date. Upon expiration of the Option, the Option shall be cancelled and no longer exercisable.

(b) Death or Disability. In the event of the Participant’s Termination by reason of death or Disability, the portion of the Option that would have vested pursuant to Section 3(a) above in the first twelve (12) months following such Termination will vest as of the Termination.

(c) Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason; Company Non-Renewal of Term. In the event of the Participant’s Termination by the Company without Cause, by the Participant for Good Reason, or due to the Company’s non-renewal of the term of the Employment Agreement (as defined below) (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of the Release Condition (as defined in the Employment Agreement) and continued compliance with Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement, the portion of the Option that would have vested pursuant to Section 3(a) above in the first twelve (12) months following such Termination will vest as of the Termination.
