      ARTICLE
        2: TERM
        AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

       

      2.1 Term.
        Unless sooner terminated pursuant to other provisions hereof, Company agrees
        to
        employ Executive for a three (3) year period beginning on the Effective Date
        (“Term”), provided that the Term shall be automatically renewed for successive
        one (1) year periods following the expiration of the three (3) year period
        described above, unless either party provides the other party with notice
        (at
        least six (6) months before the expiration of the applicable Term) of its
        (or
        his) intention
        not to renew the Term, in which case the Term shall expire at the end of
        the
        current Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the
        event
        of a Change in Control (as defined below) when there is less than one (1)
        year
        left to the Term, or (ii) if, at the time this Agreement would otherwise
        expire,
        Company is in the process of negotiating, with
        the
        approval of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, with a third party
        pursuant to a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, confidentiality
        agreement or other similar evidence of active negotiation concerning a potential
        transaction or event which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in
        Control
        (“Contemplated Change in Control”), in either case (i) or (ii) above this
        Agreement shall not expire and the Term shall automatically be extended to
        the
        earlier of (a) sixty (60) days after a formal decision by Company or the
        third
        party to cease negotiations concerning such Contemplated Change in Control,
        such
        formal decision to be evidenced by correspondence between Company and the
        third
        party, or a resolution of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof;
        or (b)
        one (1) year following the consummation of the Change in Control described
        in
        clause (i) above or resulting from such negotiation as described in clause
        (ii)
        above.

    

     

    2.2 Company’s
      Right to Terminate. 
      Notwithstanding
      the provisions of paragraph 2.1, Company shall have the right to terminate
      Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for any of the following
      reasons:

     

    (a) upon
      Executive’s death;

     

    (b) upon
      Executive’s becoming disabled within the meaning of Company’s Long-Term
      Disability Plan, provided such plan requires Executive to be unable to perform
      his duties hereunder due to sickness or injury for a period of at least 180
      consecutive days (a “Disability”);

     

    (c) if,
      in
      carrying out his duties hereunder, Executive engages in conduct that constitutes
      (i) a breach of his fiduciary duty to Company or its shareholders, (ii) gross
      neglect or (iii) gross misconduct resulting, in any case, in material economic
      harm to Company, or upon the conviction of Executive for a felony or other
      crime
      involving moral turpitude; or

     

    (d) for
      any
      other reason whatsoever, in the sole discretion of Company.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    For
      purposes of this Agreement, a termination by Company under clause (c) above
      shall constitute a termination by Company for “Cause.” Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, Company may not terminate Executive’s employment for Cause unless
      Company has provided Executive with written notice specifying the reason(s)
      for
      such termination, and if the circumstances surrounding such termination may
      be
      cured by Executive, Company has given Executive a period of not less than thirty
      (30) days from the date of such notice during which Executive has failed to
      cure
      the matter to the reasonable satisfaction of Company.

     

    2.3 Executive’s
      Right to Terminate.
      Notwithstanding
      the provisions of paragraph 2.1, Executive shall have the right to terminate
      his
      employment under this Agreement at any time for any of the following
      reasons:

     

    (a) the
      assignment to Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the duties
      associated with the position described in paragraph 1.2 as such duties are
      constituted as of the Effective Date, or the removal of him from any such
      positions;

     

    (b) a
      material diminution in the nature or scope of Executive’s authority,
      responsibilities, or titles from those applicable to him as of the Effective
      Date;

     

    (c) the
      occurrence of acts or conduct on the part of Company or any of its affiliates,
      or their board of directors, officers, representatives or stockholders, which
      prevent Executive from, or substantively hinder Executive in, performing his
      duties or responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement;

     

    (d) Company
      requiring Executive’s permanent office to be located more than fifty (50) miles
      from its current location;

     

    (e) the
      taking of any action by Company that would materially adversely affect the
      corporate amenities enjoyed by Executive on the Effective Date;

     

    (f) a
      material breach by Company of any provision of this Agreement which, if
      correctable, remains uncorrected for 30 days following written notice by
      Executive of such breach to Company, it being agreed that any reduction in
      Executive’s then current annual base salary, any reduction in Executive’s Target
      Bonus (as defined below) or any failure to make the annual awards provided
      for
      in Section 3.5, shall constitute a material breach by Company of this Agreement;
      and

     

    (g) for
      any
      other reason whatsoever, in the sole discretion of Executive.

     

    For
      purposes of this Agreement: (i) a termination of employment by Executive under
      any of clauses (a) through (f), shall constitute a termination of employment
      by
      Executive for “Good Reason;” and (ii) a termination of employment by Executive
      under clause (g) above shall constitute a termination of employment by Executive
      “without Good Reason.”

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    2.4 Notice
      of Termination.
      Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 2.1 relating to the Term of this
      Agreement, if Company or Executive desires to terminate Executive’s employment
      hereunder at any time prior to expiration of the term of employment as provided
      in paragraph 2.1, it or he shall do so by giving written notice to the other
      party that it or he has elected to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder
      and stating the effective date and reason for such termination, provided that
      no
      such action shall alter or amend any other provisions hereof or rights arising
      hereunder.

     

    2.5 Liability
      for Damages.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company agrees not to pursue
      any claim against Executive resulting from Executive’s termination of this
      Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term.

     

    ARTICLE
      3: COMPENSATION
      AND BENEFITS

     

    3.1 Base
      Salary.
      During the Term, Executive shall receive an annual base salary equal to
      $190,000.00, or such higher amounts as determined in the sole discretion of
      Company. Executive’s annual base salary shall be paid in equal installments in
      accordance with Company’s standard policy regarding payment of compensation to
      executives.

     

    3.2 Special
      Signing Bonus.
      On, or before Executive’s second pay period of employment, Company shall make a
      lump-sum cash payment to Executive in the amount of $75,000.00.

     

    3.3 Relocation
      Expenses.  The
      Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses associated with
      relocating to Dallas, Texas, pursuant to the policy attached hereto as
      Exhibit 1 (“Policy”), except that Section IV (2) of the Policy is hereby
      amended and incorporated by reference to provide that “the total number of
      lodging nights under Plan Section II and Plan Section IV combined shall not
      exceed sixty (60) days.”

     

    3.4 Annual
      Bonus.
      In addition to the base salary, during each calendar year during the Term
      commencing with calendar year 2004, Executive shall have the opportunity to
      earn
      an annual cash bonus (“Bonus”) under and subject to the terms and conditions of
      the TXU Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”). For purposes of this Agreement,
      Executive’s “Target Bonus” for calendar year 2004 shall be 40% of Executive’s
      annualized base salary. For each succeeding calendar year in the Term,
      Executive’s Target Bonus shall be 40% of Executive’s base salary. To the extent
      the limitation on awards provided for under the AIP would limit the amount
      of
      the Bonus contemplated herein, any amount over and above such AIP limit will
      be
      paid by Company contemporaneously with the payment under the AIP. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    3.5 Annual
      Long-Term Incentive Compensation Grants. 
      Executive
      will be entitled to receive annual performance-based awards under and subject
      to
      the terms of the TXU Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (“LTICP”) each year
      during the Term of this Agreement commencing in 2004. The annual LTICP award
      for
      2004 shall have a target value of 5,000 shares of TXU Corp. common stock, and
      the annual LTICP award for each succeeding year during the Term of this
      Agreement shall have a target value of not less than 5,000 shares of TXU Corp.
      common stock. The initial LTICP award for 2004 shall be made as soon as
      reasonably practical following the Effective Date and shall be on terms and
      conditions consistent with other 2004 annual LTICP awards made to executive
      officers. The annual award for each succeeding year will be made following,
      and
      in connection with, the executive officer annual review by the Organization
      & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TXU Corp. (“O&C
      Committee”). Except as expressly described herein, all such LTICP awards shall
      be subject to terms, conditions and restrictions comparable to those contained
      in awards granted for the corresponding year to executive officers under the
      LTICP, or such other terms, conditions and restrictions as may be approved
      by
      the O&C Committee with the concurrence of Executive.

     

    As
      the
      following chart illustrates, and notwithstanding any provisions of the LTICP
      to
      the contrary, performance for all Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards
      granted under this Section 3.5 shall be measured by TXU Corp.’s total
      shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the other companies that comprise the
      Standard and Poors 500 Electric Utilities Index (“SPELEC”) over the performance
      period. Minimum, target and maximum performance levels are set in terms of
      TXU
      Corp.’s TSR performance against the SPELEC quartiles.

    ARTICLE
      4: EFFECT
      OF TERMINATION ON COMPENSATION

     

    4.1 By
      Expiration of Term.
      If Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon expiration of the Term,

      in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the date of termination

      actual performance at the time when bonuses are paid to senior executives
      generally.

     

    (c) All
      outstanding awards which had been made to Executive pursuant to Section 3.5
      (for
      purposes of this Article 4, “LTICP Awards”) shall not be forfeited and shall be
      paid at the times and in the amounts provided for in, and subject to the terms
      and conditions of, such awards.

     

    (d) Company
      shall provide Executive and his eligible dependents with continuous health
      care
      coverage under and subject to the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
      Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA Coverage”) at the prevailing active employee

    4.6 Certain
      Additional Payments by Company.
      Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment, distribution or
      provision of a benefit by Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether
      paid or payable, distributed or distributable or provided or to be provided
      pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be
      subject to an excise or other special additional tax that would not have been
      imposed absent such Payment (including, without limitation, any excise tax
      imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended),
      or
      any interest or penalties with respect to such excise or other additional tax
      (such excise or other additional tax, together with any such interest or
      penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”),
      Company shall pay to Executive an additional payment (a “Gross-up Payment”) in
      an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any
      interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income
      taxes and Excise Taxes imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive retains an
      amount of the Gross-up Payment (taking into account any similar gross-up
      payments to Executive under any stock incentive or other benefit plan or program
      of Company) equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Company and
      Executive shall make an initial determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment
      is required and the amount of any such Gross-up Payment. Executive shall notify
      Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service which, if
      successful, would require Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up
      Payment in excess of that, if any, initially determined by Company and
      Executive) within ten (10) business days after the receipt of such claim.
      Company shall notify Executive in writing at least ten (10) business days prior
      to the due date of any response required with respect to such claim if it plans
      to contest the claim. If Company decides to contest such claim, Executive shall
      cooperate
      fully with Company in such action; provided, however, Company shall bear and
      pay
      directly or indirectly all costs and expenses (including additional interest
      and
      penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify and
      hold
      Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax,
      including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed as a result
      of
      Company’s action. If, as a result of Company’s action with respect to a claim,
      Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to such
      claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company fails
      to
      timely notify Executive
      whether it will contest such claim or Company determines not to contest such
      claim, then Company shall immediately pay to Executive the portion of such
      claim, if any, which it has not previously paid to Executive. Company’s
      obligation under this Section 4.6 shall continue after the termination or
      expiration of the Term.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4.7 Payment
      Obligations Absolute / Release of Claims.
      Except
      as
      set forth in the following paragraph, Company’s obligation to pay Executive the
      amounts and to make the arrangements provided in this Article 4 shall be
      absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances,
      including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
      or
      other right which Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) may have
      against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by Company shall be paid without
      notice or demand. Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment
      in
      mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision
      of
      this Article 4, and the obtaining of any such other employment (or the
      engagement in any endeavor as an independent contractor, sole proprietor,
      partner, or joint venturer) shall in no event effect any reduction of Company’s
      obligations to make (or cause to be made) the payments and arrangements required
      to be made under this Article 4.

     

    Executive
      acknowledges and agrees that the payments and benefits provided for in this
      Article 4 constitute the exclusive remedy of Executive upon termination of
      employment for any reason. Executive further agrees that as a condition to
      receiving such payments and benefits, Executive shall execute a release of
      claims arising out of Executive’s employment with, and termination of employment
      from, Company in a form reasonably requested by Company.

      or
      15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or

      Company and/or its affiliates. Except as authorized within the course and scope
      of his employment, Executive hereby expressly agrees to maintain in strictest

    (a) If

      payment to Executive provided for in this Agreement is not made by Company
      when
      due, Company shall pay to Executive interest on the amount payable from the
      date
      that such payment should have been made until such payment is made, which
      interest shall be calculated at 3% plus the prime or base rate of interest
      announced by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. at its principal office in Dallas,
      Texas
      (but not in excess of the highest lawful rate), and such interest rate shall
      change when and as any such change in such prime or base rate shall be announced
      by such bank. If Executive shall obtain any money judgment or otherwise prevail
      with respect to any litigation brought by Executive
      or Company to enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, Company,
      to
      the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby indemnifies Executive
      for
      his reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Executive in such
      litigation and hereby agrees (i) to pay in full all such fees and disbursements
      and (ii) to pay prejudgment interest on any money judgment obtained by Executive
      from the earliest date that payment to him should have been made under this
      Agreement until such judgment shall have been paid in full, which interest
      shall
      be calculated at the rate set forth in the preceding sentence.

     

    (b) Company
      agrees that if Executive is made a party or threatened to be made a party to
      any
      action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
      investigative by reason of the fact that Executive is or was an employee of
      Company, or any subsidiary of Company or is or was serving at the request of
      Company, as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another
      corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
      (“Proceeding”), Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by Company to
      the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     

    (c) Company
      shall provide Executive with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance at
      least as favorable as the insurance coverage provided to other senior executive
      officers and directors of Company respecting liabilities, costs, charges and
      expenses of any type whatsoever incurred or sustained by Executive (or
      Executive’s legal representative or other successors) in connection with a

    VII. RESIDENCE
      WITH SURROUNDING ACREAGE

    


    The
      Company will reimburse expenses incurred in connection with the sale and/or
      purchase of properties as provided in Section V and Section VI hereof. In the
      event that the transaction involves a principal residence with an adjoining
      tract of land in excess of five (5) acres, the Company will only reimburse
      the
      portion of the expenses which bear the same relationship to the total expenses
      as the appraised value of the residence and surrounding five acres bears to
      total appraised value of the property. For purposes of determining the appraised
      value, an appraiser will be selected who is acceptable to both the new employee
      and the Company.

    


    VIII. MORTGAGE
      INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL (MID)

    


    Mortgage
      Interest Differential (MID) will be available at such time when the current
      30
      year interest rate (nationally) exceeds twelve percent (12%).

    


    In
      the
      event the employee has a mortgage loan on the old residence and purchases a
      replacement home at the new location with the mortgage loan which bears a higher
      rate of interest, the Company will pay a MID to the employee. This MID will
      be
      derived by multiplying the mortgage balance on the former house or new house
      (whichever is less) by the difference in interest rates, less 1% between the
      old
      and new mortgages. These payments will be reimbursed over a three (3) year
      period in equal annual payments.

    


    In
      order
      to qualify for MID, the new employee must complete property documentation and
      attach supporting papers to verify balances and interest rates at both the
      old
      and new location.

    


    


    Example
      of computation:

    

      
        	
                MORTGAGE
                  BALANCE ON

                FORMER
                  OR NEW HOME

                WHICHEVER
                  IS LESS

              	
                INTEREST
                  RATE DIFFERENTIAL 

                OLD
                  8% -NEW 12%

              	
                ANNUAL

                REIMBURSEMENT

                FOR
                  THREE (3) YEARS

              
	
                $40,000

              	
                x
                  4% - 1% - 3% =

              	
                $1,200

              


      

    

    


    Amount
      paid to employee, as “other earnings” annually for three (3) years will be
      $1,200.

    


    No
      payment will be made after the earlier of the following:

    - Expiration
      of the three (3) year period

    - The
      employee terminates employment, or 

    - The
      new
      loan is paid off,

    
      -
The
        employee sells the home (unless the sale is the result of a Company requested
        transfer of the affected employee).

       

    

    The
      employee shall promptly report any event to the H.R. Department, which would
      result in termination or change of payments. A change in the new mortgage
      interest rate (i.e., refinance or variable interest rate) during the MID
      reimbursement period will result in a change in the MID payments. Annual
      verification will be made prior to payments.

    


    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    


    


    


    IX. LEASE
      CANCELLATION

    


    If
      you
      are unable to break your rental or lease agreement in the old location, the
      Company will provide you with lease cancellation assistance of up to the amount
      of three (3) month’s rent. You must provide proper documentation (lease
      agreement outlining lease breaking features and related receipts) of these
      expenses. You will not be reimbursed for informal agreements, security/damage
      or pet deposits.

    


    


    X. EMPLOYEE
      TAX WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE

    


    The
      taxable portion of the expenses reimbursed to or paid on behalf of the employee
      by the Plan will be increased by 36% and added to the employee’s payroll check.
      Please be aware that this increase (commonly referred to as a tax gross up)
      is
      designed to assist you with the income tax implications of the relocation
      benefits paid to you on your behalf.

    


    However,
      this provision will not make you whole.
      In
      other words, when the grossed up amount is processed by payroll, taxes are
      withheld at a flat rate on the total amount. This calculation will result in
      an
      approximate reimbursement of 88.8% of the original dollar amount requested.
      If
      you have questions, please contact Payroll or your HR Relocation
      Representative.
