WHEREAS, (i) effective as of December 16, 2008, the Initial Member merged with and into Dynegy Holdings, LLC, (formerly known as Dynegy Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Interim Member”), pursuant to which the Interim Member was the survivor of such merger and became the holder of all of the limited liability company interests in the Company (the “First Merger”), (ii) pursuant to the Unanimous Written Consent of Board of Directors of the Interim Member, dated as of December 31, 2008, the Interim Member assigned all of its limited liability company interests in the Company as a member of the Company (the “Interest”) to Dynegy Midwest Generation, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“DMG Illinois”), and (iii) effective as of August 4, 2011, DMG Illinois merged with and into the Member pursuant to which the Member was the survivor of such merger and became the holder of all of the limited liability company interests in the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, each a “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Act, the Company may have inadvertently dissolved in connection with (i) either of the First Merger or the assignment of the Interest if either the First Merger or the assignment of the Interest resulted in a period of time in which the Company did not have a member (jointly, the “Initial Potential Dissolution Events”) or (ii) the Second Merger if the Second Merger resulted in a period of time in which the Company did not have a member (the “Final Potential Dissolution Event”);
WHEREAS, Dynegy and the Member constitute all of the current or former members of, or holders of interests in, the Company, or, in the event that the Company has dissolved in connection with either of the Initial Potential Dissolution Events or the Final Potential Dissolution Event, the “personal representatives” (within the meaning of the Act) thereof;
