--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"); and upon the Certified Ballot Reports for Oncor and Codon filed on February 25, 2000; and objections to confirmation of the Oncor Plan having been filed by (i) NTFC Capital Corporation ("NTFC") and (ii) Themis Partners L.P. and Heracles Fund (collectively, the "Confirmation Objections"); and NTFC having withdrawn its objection pursuant to a Stipulation Under Fed.

-2-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, shall have the respective meanings attributed to such terms in the Plans and the Disclosure Statement.
B. This Court has jurisdiction over the Debtors' chapter 11 cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sections 1334(a) and 157(1). Venue of these proceedings and the chapter 11 cases in this district is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sections 1408 and 1409. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 157(b)(2) and this Court has jurisdiction to enter a final order with respect hereto.
C. Due, timely, sufficient and adequate notice of the Plans, the Confirmation Hearing, the Technical Modifications and the deadlines for voting on, and filing objections to, the Plans has been given to all known holders of Claims in an impaired class entitled to vote on the Plans, in accordance with the procedures established by the Disclosure Approval Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the local rules of the Court and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations.
D. The Plans comply with all of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
E. The classification of claims and interests under the Plans is proper under sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Claims or Interests in each particular Class are substantially similar to other Claims or Interests contained in such Class.
-3-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Consistent with section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plans provide equal treatment for each Claim or Interest of a particular class, unless a holder of a Claim or Interest has agreed with one of the Debtors to a less favorable treatment.
G. The Debtors, as proponents of the Plans, have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
H. The Plans have been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.
I. Any payments made or promised by the Debtors, or a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plans, for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the cases, or in connection with the Plans and incident to the cases, have been approved by, or is subject to approval of the Court as reasonable.
J. The Debtors have disclosed that Joseph R. Shaya, the current Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of each of the Debtors, will serve as Plan Agent and the sole director and officer of the Post-Confirmation Debtors as of the Effective Date of the Plans and have disclosed the Plan Agent's compensation. The appointment of the Plan Agent is consistent with the interests of the Debtors' creditors and equity security holders and with public policy. In addition, the Debtors have disclosed the identity of the members of the Post-Effective Date Committee to serve under the Plans.
K. The provisions of section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code are inapplicable to these cases.
-4-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L. The procedures by which the ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plans were distributed and tabulated were fair, properly conducted, and complied with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.
M. As required by section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to each impaired Class of Claims and Interests, each holder of a Claim or Interest in each impaired Class has either accepted such Plan or will receive or retain under such Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the Plans, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtors liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.
N. With respect to Classes 1, 2 and 3 under the Oncor Plan, such class has accepted the Oncor Plan or such class is not impaired under the Oncor Plan and is, therefore, deemed to have accepted the Oncor Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.
O. With respect to Classes 4 and 5 under the Oncor Plan, the requirements of sections 1129(b)(2)(B) and 1129(b)(2)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code, respectively, have been satisfied.
P. With respect to Class 1 under the Oncor Plan, such class has accepted the Codon Plan.
Q. With respect to Class 2 interests under the Codon Plan, the requirements of section 1129(b)(2)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied.
R. The Debtors have requested that the Court confirm the Plans under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as to Oncor Classes 4 and 5 and Codon Class 2.
-5-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S. At least one impaired class of claims has accepted each of the Plans, determined without including any acceptances of the Plans by any insider.
T. Except to the extent that the holder of a particular claim has agreed to a different treatment of such Claim, the treatment of Claims under the Plans of the type specified in sections 507(a)(1) and 507(a)(3) through 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, complies with the provisions of section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.
U. The primary purpose of each of the Plans is not the avoidance of taxes or the requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
V. Confirmation of the Plans is not likely to be followed by the need for further financial reorganizations of the Debtors.
W. All fees payable under section 1930 of title 28 of the United States Code, have either been paid or will be paid under the Plans.
X. The provisions of section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code are inapplicable to these cases.
Y. The Plans are the only plans of reorganization for each of the Debtors pending before this or any other Court.
Z. The Technical Modifications to the Plans proposed by the Debtors prior to, at or in connection with the Confirmation Hearing as set forth below in this Confirmation Order, have been reviewed by and consented to by the Debtors' Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. The Technical Modifications do not adversely change the treatment of holders of Claims against the Debtors. Consequently, in accordance with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and
-6-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Rule 3019, the Plans as modified are deemed accepted by each holder of a Claim against the Debtors that voted to accept the Plans, without the need to resolicit the votes of such Creditors on the Plans as modified, and are deemed accepted by each holder of an unimpaired Claim deemed to have accepted the Plans in accordance with section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.
NOW, it is hereby,
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED, that:
1. The Plans are confirmed pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between the terms of the Plans and the terms of this Confirmation Order, this Confirmation Order shall control.
2. The Stipulation of Settlement Between and Among the Debtors, the Committee, Themis Partners L.P. ("Themis") and Heracles Fund ("Heracles") Relating to Second Amended Liquidating Chapter 11 Plan of Oncor, Inc. is hereby approved, and the Confirmation Objection filed by Themis and Heracles is withdrawn pursuant thereto.
3. The Plans are hereby modified as follows:
(a) Section 5.4 of the Oncor Plan is amended by the deletion of the current text of section 5.4 of the Oncor Plan and the insertion of the following language:
The holders of Allowed Subordinated Promethean Unsecured Claims will receive a Pro Rata Share of $75,000, plus the portion of the Distributable Cash, if any, remaining after all Allowed unclassified Claims and Allowed Claims in Classes 1 through 3 are paid in full, in full and final settlement of their Claims.
-7-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Debtors will seek approval of a stipulation evidencing the Yale Settlement after the Confirmation Date, on notice to interested parties.
4. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors are hereby authorized, empowered, and ordered to issue, execute, deliver, file and record any documents or court papers or pleadings, and to take any and all actions, that are necessary or desirable to implement, effectuate, and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plans, whether or not specifically referred to therein and without further application or order of this Court, in each case with like effect as if exercised and taken by unanimous action of the director and/or stockholder of the Debtors as may be necessary to cause the same to become effective under state law.
5. The Debtors shall remain as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code until the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Post-Confirmation Debtors and the Post-Effective Date Committee may consummate the transactions

6. The Plan Agent Agreement, substantially in the form previously filed with the Court, is approved, and the Debtors and the Post-Effective Date Committee may execute, enter into and deliver such documents and to execute, implement and consummate any transactions contemplated thereby.
