For the avoidance of doubt, # under no circumstances will any holder of a TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim receive on account of such claim any portion of or distribution from the TCEH Cash Payment, and # 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.
