Form”
or,
when executed, the “Agreement”)
with
such modifications as Party A and Party B will in good faith agree. Upon
execution of the Agreement, this Confirmation will supplement, form a part
of,
and be subject to that Agreement. Until Party A and Party B execute and deliver
the Agreement, if any, this Confirmation, together with all other documents
referring to the ISDA Form (each an “Other
Confirmation”)
confirming transactions (each an “Other
Transaction”
and,
together with this Transaction, the “Party
A Transactions”)
entered into between Party A and Party B (notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in an Other Confirmation), shall supplement, form a part of, and be
subject to an agreement (which shall survive the termination of this
Transaction) in the form of the ISDA Form as if Party A and Party B had executed
an agreement in such form effective as of the Trade Date of this Transaction
between Party A and Party B (but without any Schedule except for (i) the
election of Loss and Second Method for the purposes of payments on early
termination, (ii) New York law as the governing law, (iii) US Dollars
(“USD”)
as the
Termination Currency, (iv) specifying that (A) Section 2(c)(ii) of the ISDA

ISDA Form will not apply with respect to a breach of Sections 2(b)(i),
2(b)(iii)(A), 2(b)(iv) of this Confirmation or (insofar as it relates to the
delivery of collateral by Party B) Section 2(c)(ii) (solely, in the case of
Section 2(c)(ii), where Party B has elected to provide Alternative Group
Collateral) of this Confirmation, (v) Section 5(a)(vi) of the ISDA Form shall
apply and be amended by: (A) deleting the phrase “, or becoming capable at such
time of being declared,” therefrom and (B) the Threshold Amount (x) with respect
to Party B shall be *** and (y) with respect to Party A shall be *** (vi)
“Credit Event Upon Merger” shall not apply to Party B and shall apply to Party A
and (vii) Party A is the Calculation Agent unless an Event of Default or a

in
which case Party B shall be the Calculation Agent). The foregoing provisions
will be included in the Agreement negotiated by the parties.
All
Party
A Transactions are entered into on the understanding that this Confirmation
and
any Other Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties, and the
parties would not otherwise enter into this Transaction or any Other
Transaction(s).
This
Confirmation supersedes any prior oral or written agreement between the Parties
regarding the subject matter hereof. This Confirmation, together with the ISDA
Form, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect
to
this Transaction.
Unless
otherwise agreed, all money payable by one party (the “Payor”)
to the
other (the “Payee”)
in
respect of any Party A Transaction shall be paid free and clear of, and without
withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of whatsoever nature imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any authority having power to tax
(a
“Tax”),
unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is required by law. In that
event, unless otherwise agreed, Payor shall pay such additional amounts as
will
result in the net amounts receivable by Payee (after taking account of such
withholding or deduction) being equal to such amounts as would have been
received by Payee had no such Tax been required to be withheld or deducted;
provided the term “Tax”
shall
not include any Tax that would not been imposed but for (i) the failure of
Payee
to timely deliver any tax form or document reasonably requested by Payor, or
(ii) the existence of any present or former connection between Payee and the
jurisdiction imposing such Tax other than the mere receipt of payment from

TXU
Alternative Group, as the case may be, shall sell or transfer (or release or
subordinate any lien on), any coal-or lignite-fired power generation station
that is a part of Alternative Group Collateral (including, without limitation,
through the sale of any subsidiary), Party B shall calculate the “Phase

which
shall equal *** per calendar year of natural gas hedge transactions per ***
of
gross capacity for each coal-or lignite-fired power generation station still
owned or controlled by a member of the TXU Alternate Group, as applicable
(excluding the power plant to be the subject of such release or lien or
subordination) that is scheduled to be commercially available in the current
and
each future calendar year during the term covered by Commodity Transactions
supported by the Alternative Group Collateral (provided that the size of the
maximum allowed hedge position will be prorated to reflect the monthly
production schedule in each such calendar year), and provide written notice
of
such Phase II Allowed Hedge Capacity to Party A. Party B shall notify Party
A in
the event that the outstanding notional amounts if any in respect of any such
calendar year would be in excess of the Phase II Allowed Hedged Capacity after
such sale or transfer. Party A and Party B agree that at the closing of such
sale or transfer, Party B shall terminate all or a portion of the Commodity
Transactions (including, if selected by Party B, Party A Transactions that
are
Commodity Transactions) (with the appropriate Party making the termination
payment pursuant to Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form or the Agreement (as
applicable) based on the occurrence of an “Additional Termination Event”
thereunder where both parties are Affected Parties) such that the Phase II
Allowed Hedging Capacity is not exceeded.
(v) Further
Assurances.
In the
event that Party B provides to Party A a lien on Alternative Group Collateral
and prior to the date of the release of any such lien, Party B shall, and shall
cause, as applicable, each guarantor (subject to the terms of the applicable
Phase II Intercreditor Agreement), to preserve, protect and defend the liens
and
security interests granted applicable collateral documents, and, from time
to
time, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to render fully valid

A with respect to such collateral furnished thereunder or intended to be so
furnished.

event that Party B provides a first lien on Alternative Group Collateral in
respect of this Transaction, on the date on which no obligations in respect

been
pledged. In the event Party B elects to novate Party A Transactions

Transactions, the Commodity Definitions will prevail.
***CONFIDENTIAL

AND
FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.
This
Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Party A and
Party B as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.
The Parties to this Confirmation shall in good faith attempt to negotiate and
execute a 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) (the
“ISDA
Form”
or,
when executed, the “Agreement”)
with
such modifications as Party A and Party B will in good faith agree. Upon
execution of the Agreement, this Confirmation will supplement, form a part
of,
and be subject to that Agreement. Until Party A and Party B execute and deliver
the Agreement, if any, this Confirmation, together with all other documents
referring to the ISDA Form (each an “Other Confirmation”)

and
together with this Transaction, the “Party

entered into between Party A and Party B (notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in an Other Confirmation), shall supplement, form a part of, and be
subject to an agreement (which shall survive the termination of this
Transaction) in the form of the ISDA Form as if Party A and Party B had executed
an agreement in such form effective as of the Trade Date of this Transaction
between Party A and Party B (but without any Schedule except for (i) the
election of Loss and Second Method for the purposes of payments on early
termination, (ii) New York law as the governing law, (iii) US Dollars
(“USD”)
as the

that with respect to clause 2(b)(v), this provision shall not be deemed to
limit
the forty-five (45) day period described therein), (v) Section 5(a)(vi) of
the
ISDA Form shall be amended by: (A) deleting the phrase “, or becoming capable at
such time of being declared,” and (B) the Threshold Amount (x) with respect to
Party B shall be ***, and (y) with respect to Party A shall be *** and (z)

in which case Party B shall be the Calculation Agent). The foregoing provisions
will be included in the Agreement negotiated by Party A and Party
B.
All
Party
A Transactions are entered into on the understanding that this Confirmation
and
any Other Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties, and the
parties would not otherwise enter into this Transaction or any Other

regarding the subject matter hereof. This Confirmation, together with the ISDA
Form, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect
to
this Transaction.

respect of this Transaction or any Other Transaction shall be paid free and
clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of
whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any

unless the withholding or deduction of such Tax is required by law. In that
event, unless otherwise agreed, Payor shall pay such additional amounts as

secured financing, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated, replaced,
refinanced, renewed or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Group
First Lien Facilities”),
and,
in connection with entering into the Group First Lien Facilities, Party B will
secure its obligations under this Transaction and the Agreement by granting
to
Party A a first priority security interest in and lien on the Group Collateral,
which security interest and lien shall rank pari passu with the Group First
Lien
Facilities and shall be subject only to Group Collateral Permitted Liens. Such
security interest and liens shall be granted through instruments that entitle
Party A’s obligations hereunder to benefit from the same lien granted in the
Group Collateral to holders of obligations under the Group First Lien
Facilities. Party A and the collateral agent or other representative of the
holders of the obligations under the Group First Lien Facilities shall also
enter into a collateral agency and intercreditor agreement in connection with
the Group First Lien Facilities on the Eagle Date (as the same may be amended,
supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”),
The
Intercreditor Agreement shall contain the terms set forth in the last sentence
of this clause (b)(i);
(2)
deliver to Party A a reliance letter permitting Party A to rely on opinions
related to the Group Collateral given to the administrative agent for the
lenders in connection with the closing of the Group First Lien Facilities;
and
(3) deliver to Party A a copy of a real property mortgage and fixture filing
and
all security documents granting the lien and security interest referred to
in
clause (1) above together with copies of UCC-1 financing statements filed with
the appropriate state and local authorities perfecting the lien and security
interest on personal property referred to in clause (1) above. The salient
terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement shall provide that Party A: (x) with respect
to
the lien described in clause (A), (I) such lien shall rank pari passu with
the
lien granted on the Group Collateral to the holders of the obligations under
the
Group First Lien Facilities as provided in clause (1)(A) above, (II) shall
be
entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, in the proceeds of any liquidation
of
the Group Collateral consummated in connection with a foreclosure on the Group
Collateral in an amount equal to the Aggregate Net Settlement Amount and
(III) (aa)
shall have voting rights with respect to any remedies proposed to be taken
by
the holders of indebtedness under the Group First Lien Facilities with respect
to the Group Collateral (and such voting rights shall be calculated at an amount
equal to the greater of its Aggregate Net Settlement Amount and ***, where
“Aggregate
Net Settlement Amount”
shall
be the payment due upon declaration of an Early Termination Date (or if no
Early
Termination Date has been declared, the payment that would be due upon such
a
declaration) in respect of this Transaction and all other Transactions under
the
Agreement under Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form (or the Agreement if it has been
executed) and (bb) shall have voting rights with respect to any amendment or
waiver of any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement that (x) changes the
priority of Party A’s lien on the Group Collateral relative to the priortiy of
the lien granted to the secure the obligations of the holders of the Group
First
Lien Facilities or the priority of payments to Party A upon a foreclosure and
liquidation of the Group Collateral relative to the priority of the lien granted
to the holders of the Group First Lien Credit Facilities or (y) by its terms
affects Party A and the other holders of obligations relating to commodity
xxxxxx and power purchase agreements disproportionately as compared to the
holders of obligations under the Group First Lien Facilities and such amendment
or waiver shall only be effective if approved by a majority of all obligations
secured by a lien on the Group Collateral (where Party A’s voting rights shall
be calculated in the manner set forth above) that is disproportionately
affected.

(ii) Restrictive
Covenants.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Group First Lien Facilities, the
following terms, in the form contained in the Group First Lien Facilities giving
effect to subsequent modification, amendment, supplement, waiver, replacement
or
refinancing, shall be incorporated by reference herein or by supplement hereto:
(A) limitation on liens; and (B)maintenance of insurance. The restriction
requiring that proceeds from asset sales be reinvested or used to make mandatory
prepayments of indebtedness in the form such restriction is contained in the
Group First Lien Facilities shall be incorporated herein without regard to
any
subsequent modification, amendment, supplement, waiver, replacement or
refinancing unless Party A’s Maximum Expected Exposure is below *** at which
point the restriction shall thereafter be subject to any subsequent
modification, amendment, supplement, waiver, replacement or refinancing. For
this purpose, “Maximum Expected Exposure” means the sum of (A) the average of
the amounts that would be owing to Party A (if positive) if an Early Termination

disregarding the day for which the highest amount would be owing to Party A
if
an Early Termination Date were established on such date), plus (B) the product
of *** multiplied by the Notional Quantity remaining outstanding under this
Transaction and all Other Transactions between Party A and Party B.
(iii) Limitations
on Trading Activities.
Party B
agrees to comply with the provisions of Schedule 2 hereto as of the Eagle Date.

modifications.
(iv) INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED
(v) Overhedging.
Party B shall be subject to the following requirements: On each Determination
Date Party B shall determine whether it is Hedge Compliant or Hedge
