The

is to
confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into between
***
(“Party

TXU Generation Development Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Party

on the
Trade Date specified below (this “Transaction”).
The
definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions published
by
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”),
as
supplemented from time to time, (collectively the “2000
ISDA Definitions”)
are
incorporated into this Confirmation. Additionally, the 2005 Commodity
Derivatives Definitions, as supplemented or modified from time to time
(collectively, the “Commodity
Definitions”)
published by ISDA are hereby incorporated into this Confirmation by reference
with respect to any “Transactions”
(as
defined by the Commodity Definitions) in commodities, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency
between the 2000 Definitions and the Commodity Definitions with respect to
such
Transactions, the Commodity Definitions will prevail.
This
Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between Party A and

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 a “Confirmation”)
confirming transactions (each a “Transaction”)
entered into between Party A and Party B (notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in a 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 the first 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 Section 2(c)(ii) of the ISDA Form
will not apply, (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,”
therefrom, (B) the Threshold Amount with respect to Party B shall be $50,000,000
up to and including December 31, 2007 and $100,000,000 on and after January
1,
2008, and (C) deleting clause (2) thereof with respect to Party B, and (vi)
Party A is the Calculation Agent unless an Event of Default or a Potential
Event
of Default where Party A is the Defaulting Party shall occur, in which case
Party B shall be the Calculation Agent).
This
Transaction and any future Transactions between the parties are entered into
on
the understanding that this Confirmation and any future Confirmations form
a
single agreement between the parties, and the parties would not otherwise enter
into any 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.

(f) | Overhedging; Other Adjustments. |
|
(i) |
Overhedging.
On December 31, 2007 (the “Hedge
Calculation Date”)
Party B shall (A) calculate the gross capacity for all Subject
DevCo
Facilities (such capacity, the “Permitted
Capacity”);
(B) calculate the “Permitted
Hedge Capacity”
for each of calendar years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 (each such
year, a
“Hedge
Year”),
which shall equal 51,000,000 MMBtus of natural gas hedge transactions
per
1,000 MW of Permitted Capacity scheduled to be commercially available
in
such calendar year per the EPC Contract as of December 31, 2007
(provided
that the
size of the maximum allowed hedge position (as above, 51,000,000
MMBtus
per 1,000 MW of Permitted Capacity) will be prorated to reflect
the
monthly production schedule in each such Hedge Year based on the
target
online dates as of December 31, 2007); and (C)
provide written notice of the Permitted Capacity and Permitted
Hedge
Capacity to Party A (the “Hedge
Capacity Notice”).
In
the event that notional amount of MMBtus hedged under this Transaction,
together with any other Transactions under the Agreement or any
other Back
to Back Documentation and any hedge documentation with third-party
hedge
providers (collectively, for any such year, the “Total
Notional Hedge”)
results in Party B having outstanding notional amounts in respect
in any
Hedge Year in excess of the Permitted Hedge Capacity as calculated
by
Party B hereunder for such year, Party A and Party B agree that,
within
five (5) Business Days after Party B provides the Hedge Capacity
Notice
(the “Hedge
Transfer Date”),
Party B shall novate or otherwise transfer to a Permitted Transferee
pursuant to a Novation Agreement Party B’s rights and obligations under a
pro rata portion of the Total Notional Hedge in excess of the Permitted
Hedge Capacity under this Transaction, Transactions under the Agreement
or
under any other Back to Back Documentation (in each case as may
be
outstanding with Party A), which results in Party B retaining a
basket of
hedge transactions that keeps the average hedged price for such
Hedge Year
approximately the same as it was prior to such novation or transfer.
On or
immediately prior to the Hedge Transfer Date and as a condition
precedent
to the effectiveness of the Novation Agreement, each of Party B
and the
Permitted Transferee shall represent to Party A that it is not
subject to
an event or circumstance set forth Section
5(a)(vii) of the ISDA Form (or the Agreement if then executed).
Provided that Party B has complied in full with its obligations
under this
Section 2(f)(i), Party A agrees to: (x) enter into such novation
or other
transfer to a Permitted Transferee without requiring any termination
payment or mark-to-market payment in connection therewith (i.e.,
the hedge will be transferred at the original contract price with
any
embedded gain or loss not being realized at transfer); (y) pay
to the
Permitted Transferee a fee***
transferred
as provided in this paragraph upon
the novation or transfer of the relevant hedge to the Permitted
Transferee; and (z) execute a Novation Agreement with Party B and
the
Permitted Transferee to give effect to such novation or transfer.
If the
Big Brown Collateral or Alternative Physical Collateral that serves
as the
collateral for the Permitted Transferee had previously been released
upon
the occurrence of the Five Plant Permit Date, then the liens on
such
collateral will be reconstituted thereon through the delivery of
the
documentation listed in Section 2(c)(i)(A) or 2(c)(i)(B)(1), as
applicable. Further, if the Big Brown Collateral or Alternative
Physical
Collateral serves as the collateral for the Permitted Transferee,
then
Party A’s interest in such collateral shall be limited solely to its
Modified Percentage of the value of such collateral. For the avoidance
of
doubt, after giving effect to this clause (f)(i), all portions
of this
Transaction, other Transactions under the Agreement and under Back
to Back
Documentation that (AA) are not subject to transfer or novation
pursuant
to this Section 2(f)(i) shall be secured solely by the DevCo Collateral
and shall have no claim against the Big Brown Collateral or the
Alternative Physical Collateral and (BB) are subject to transfer
or
novation pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) shall be secured solely
by the
Big Brown Collateral or the Alternative Physical Collateral, as
applicable, and shall have no claim against the DevCo
Collateral.
|
|
(ii) | Sale of Assets. In the event that DevCo shall sell or transfer any DevCo Facility (including, without limitation, through the sale of a Subsidiary Guarantor), Party B shall calculate the “Allowed Hedge Capacity”, which shall equal 51,000,000 MMBtus of natural gas hedge transactions per 1,000 MW of gross capacity for each DevCo Facility still owned by DevCo or one of its subsidiaries (excluding the DevCo Facility to be sold) that is scheduled to be commercially available in such calendar year (provided that the size of the maximum allowed hedge position will be prorated to reflect the monthly production schedule in each such Hedge Year), and provide written notice of such Allowed Hedge Capacity to Party A, for each Hedge Year that has not theretofore commenced (the “Transfer Hedge Capacity Notice”). Party B shall notify Party A in the event that the outstanding notional amounts if any in respect of any Hedge Year would be in excess of the Allowed Hedged Capacity after such sale |
9
or
transfer. Party A and Party B agree that at the closing of such sale
or
transfer,
Party B shall, at its option: (A) terminate all or a portion of this
Transaction, Transactions under the Agreement or under any other
Back to
Back Documentation (with the appropriate Party making the termination
payment pursuant to Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form or the Agreement
(as
applicable)); or (B) novate or otherwise transfer to a Permitted
Purchaser
pursuant to a Novation Agreement Party B’s rights and obligations under
all or a portion of this Transaction, Transactions under the Agreement
or
under any other Back to Back Documentation (in each case as may be
outstanding with Party A), such that the outstanding notional amounts
in
respect of each Hedge Year are no longer in excess of the Allowed
Hedged
Capacity; provided, however, that such novation or transfer shall
be
subject to providing collateral to Party A of reasonably equivalent
value
(and in a dispute in respect thereof, such value will be determined
by an
experienced independent appraiser). In each case, such termination,
transfer or novation must result in Party B retaining a basket of
hedge
transactions that keeps the average hedged price for each Hedge Year
approximately the same as it was prior to such termination, transfer
or
novation. On or immediately prior to the date of a novation and as
a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Novation Agreement,
each
of Party B and the Permitted Purchaser shall represent to Party A
that it
is not subject to an event or circumstance set forth Section
5(a)(vii) of the ISDA Form (or the Agreement if then executed).
Provided that Party B has complied in full with its obligations under
clause (B) of this Section 2(f)(ii), Party A agrees to (x) enter
into such
novation or other transfer to a Permitted Purchaser without requiring
any
termination payment or mark-to-market payment in connection therewith
(i.e.,
the hedge will be transferred at the original contract price with
any
embedded gain or loss not being realized at transfer); and (y) execute
a
Novation Agreement with Party B and the Permitted Purchaser to give
effect
to such novation or transfer.
|
(iii)
|
Pre-Completion
Shortfall.
In
the event that any settlement date shall occur under this Transaction,
other Transactions under the Agreement or any other Back to Back
Documentation ***
(the
“Draw
Window”)
and Party B cannot make payment of any amount due to Party A in respect
of
this Transaction, other Transactions under the Agreement or any other
Back
to Back Documentation on such settlement date due to insufficient
funding
caused by construction delays beyond those mitigated by the novations
in
Section 2(f)(i) (a “Pre-Completion
Shortfall”),
Party B shall provide written notice to Party A of such Pre-Completion
Shortfall (a “Pre-Completion
Shortfall Notice”).
Upon receipt of a Pre-Completion Shortfall Notice from Party B, Party
A
shall cause its Affiliate to advance funds to Party B in amounts
necessary
to pay such Pre-Completion Shortfall in accordance with the terms
of the
credit facility to be underwritten by an Affiliate of Party A and
as
further defined in Schedule 2 (“Credit
Facility Terms” ).
Provided that Party B makes any settlement payments estimated by
Party A
to be associated with such Pre-Completion Shortfall from such facility,
Party A agrees not to assert or otherwise exercise any rights in
respect
of a Potential Event of Default, Event of Default or other “default”
howsoever described in the related documentation arising directly
in
respect of such Pre-Completion Shortfall.
|
|
|
(iv)
|
DevCo
Facility Status Updates and Viability.
Party B shall provide Party A with the same regular status updates
concerning the construction of the DevCo Facilities that are provided
to
the holders of indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Facilities.
If,
after December 31, 2007, a “Permitted Abandonment” or “Permitted Removal”
as such terms are defined in the Senior Credit Facilities shall occur
with
respect to a DevCo Facility, Party B shall calculate the “Remaining
Hedge Capacity”,
which shall equal 51,000,000 MMBtus of natural gas hedge transactions
per
1,000 MW of gross capacity for each DevCo Facility (excluding the
DevCo
Facilities subject of such Permitted Removal or Permitted Abandonment)
that is scheduled to be commercially available in each Hedge Year
(provided
that the
size of the maximum allowed hedge position will be prorated to reflect
the
monthly production schedule in each such Hedge Year),
and provide written notice of such Remaining Hedge Capacity to Party
A. In
the event that the Total Notional Hedge then outstanding in any Hedge
Year
is in excess of the Remaining Hedge Capacity as calculated by Party
B
hereunder for such Hedge Year, Party B shall, at its option: (1)
terminate
(with the appropriate Party making the termination payment pursuant
to
Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form (or the Agreement, as applicable));
or (2)
novate or otherwise transfer to a Permitted Transferee, in each case
the
pro rata portion of this Transaction, Transactions under the Agreement
or
under any other Back to Back Documentation associated with such delayed
DevCo Facility under the same terms and conditions as set forth in
Section
2(f)(i).

exceed its
existing hedge exemption, Party A agrees to make a good faith effort
to
obtain from the NYMEX, Inc. an increase in Party A’s hedge exemption
sufficient to allow Party A to accept such NYMEX Contracts and
exchange
cleared OTC XX Xxxxxx; |
(B) |
the
novation of OTC XX Xxxxxx shall be effected pursuant to a novation
agreement substantially in all material respects in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (the “Novation

18

A is the
Defaulting Party shall occur, in which case the other party shall
be the
Calculation Agent);
|
(E)
|
the
Back to Back Documentation shall provide that the sole collateral
for
Party B’s obligations in respect of the Back to Back Documentation will
be
as provided in Section 2 hereof,

to Back
Documentation with Party A, divided by (b) the Full Hedge
Amount;

From

TXU
Generation Development Company LLC
(“Counterparty”) may enter into one or more commodity transactions relating to
the purchase, sale, exchange or similar physically-delivered and/or
financially-settled transactions (or options thereon) with respect to crude
oil,
coal, natural gas, electricity or other energy commodity or energy related
services, or emission allowances (each, a “Transaction”), based on prices of
such commodities as the parties may agree, and the terms and conditions of
which
shall be set forth in individual confirmations issued by ***
or
exchanged between the parties (each, a “Confirmation”), including the
Transaction evidenced by the long-form confirmation letter agreement entered
into between ***
and
Counterparty on June 6, 2006 (the “Long-Form Confirmation”), which incorporates
by reference the terms of the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement (collectively, the
Transactions, together with each Confirmation, and the Long-Form Confirmation,

"Agreement").
In

with

***
under
each Transaction and the Agreement when the same shall become due and payable,
whether on scheduled payment dates, upon demand, upon declaration of termination
or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and giving effect
to
any applicable grace period. Upon failure of ***punctually
to pay any such amounts, and upon written demand by Counterparty to ***
at its
address set forth in the signature block of this Guarantee (or to such other
address as ***
may
specify in writing), ***
agrees
to pay or cause to be paid such amounts; provided that delay by Counterparty
in
giving such demand shall in no event affect ***
obligations under this Guarantee.
***
hereby
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and
will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable
under
the Agreement, irrespective of any claim as to the Agreement's validity,
regularity or enforceability or the lack of authority of ***
to
execute or deliver the Agreement; or any change in or amendment to the
Agreement; or any waiver or consent by Counterparty with respect to any
provisions thereof; or the absence of any action to enforce the Agreement,
or
the recovery of any judgment against ***
or of
any action to enforce a judgment against ***
under
the Agreement; or any similar circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety generally.
This
is a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection.
***
hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand on ***
for
payment or otherwise (except as provided hereinabove), filing of claims,
requirement of a prior proceeding against ***

protest or notice, except for notice as provided for in the Agreement with
respect to amounts payable by ***
(to the
extent that notice may be lawfully given). If at any time payment under the
Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned by Counterparty
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of ***

obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated upon
such
restoration or return being made by Counterparty.
