This AMENDMENT, dated as of April 22, 2003 (this "Amendment"), is made
to that certain Five-Year Third Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and
Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2002 (the "Credit
Agreement"), among TXU US Holdings Company, a Texas corporation (the
"Borrower"), the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders") and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
as Competitive Advance Facility Agent (in such capacity, the "CAF Agent"), as
administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Administrative
Agent"; and, together with the CAF Agent, the "Agents") and as fronting bank for
the Letters of Credit issued thereunder (in such capacity, the "Fronting Bank").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents and the Fronting Bank previously
entered into the Credit Agreement. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders
agree to the amendment of the Credit Agreement as set forth herein, and the
Lenders have agreed to such request, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Amendment. Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
SECTIONN 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2. Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended as follows:
(a) The definition of "Applicable Margin" set forth in Section 1.01 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
"Applicable Margin" shall mean the percentage per annum set
forth in the column identified as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4
below, based upon the level corresponding to the Debt Rating of the
Borrower at the time of determination. If there is a difference of one
level in the Debt Ratings, then the higher Debt Rating shall be used to
determine the Applicable Margin; if there is a difference of more than
one level in the Debt Ratings, then the level one level higher than the
lower Debt Rating shall be used to determine the Applicable Margin,
unless the lower Debt Rating is below Level 2, in which case the lower
Debt Rating will be used to determine the Applicable Margin. The
Applicable Margins set forth below with respect to each Level (i) shall
be increased by 0.25% during any period (and for only such period) in
which the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits is greater than 33?%
but less than 66?% of the Total Commitments, and (ii) shall be
increased by 0.50% during any period (and for only such period) in
which the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits is at least 66?% of
the Total Commitments. Any change in the Applicable Margin shall be
effective on the date on which the applicable rating agency announces
any change in the Debt Rating.
