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 Bonus Payment. On, or as soon as reasonably practical after, January 1, 2005, Company shall make a lump-sum cash payment
to Executive in the amount of $150,000.

3.3 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 shall be 50% of Executives annualized 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. Executives Bonus for calendar year 2004 shall be no less than his full Target Bonus.

3.4 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 20,000 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 15,000 shares of TXU Corp. common stock. The initial LTICP award for 2004 shall be made as soon as reasonably practical
following the Effective Date. 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 3.4 shall be measured by TXU Corp.s
total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the other companies that comprise the Standard and Poors 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.

Except as provided in Section 4.3, once such awards have been granted, they shall be paid in
full at the end of the relevant performance period based on actual performance regardless of whether Executives employment has previously terminated. In the event Executives employment with Company terminates prior to any of the
above-described awards being granted to Executive, such awards shall be subject to the provisions of Article 4 herein.

Company shall, if
Executive so requests, satisfy any income tax withholding obligations in respect of the payment of any amounts under the LTICP by withholding amounts otherwise issuable to Executive under such award.

3.5 Additional Retirement Compensation. Executive shall be entitled to additional retirement compensation on the following basis.

(a) Executive shall, commencing upon his retirement or other commencement of retirement benefits under the TXU Retirement
Plan or any successor plan (Retirement Plan), be entitled to receive additional retirement compensation (the Additional Retirement Compensation) equal to the aggregate benefits which would have been payable to Executive under
the Retirement Plan and the TXU Second Supplemental Retirement Plan or any successor plan (the Supplemental Retirement Plan) as if, during each of the first ten (10) years of employment with Company, Executive was credited with two
(2) years of Accredited Service (as defined in the Retirement Plan). Thus, upon the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive will have accrued twenty (20) years of Accredited Service for purposes of calculating the Additional
Retirement Compensation. The Additional Retirement Compensation shall be reduced by all amounts payable to Executive under the Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Plan (or any successor plan or plans) pursuant to the provisions of those
plans as a result of his employment with Company.

(b) The additional deemed years of Accredited Service provided for in paragraph
(a) shall be included for purposes of determining Executives satisfaction of the vesting requirements under the Retirement Plan, as well as Executives eligibility for earlier-than-normal retirement under the terms of the Retirement
Plan. If and to the extent that the inclusion of the additional deemed years of Accredited Service for vesting and earlier-than-normal retirement purposes shall result in retirement benefits being payable to Executive when not otherwise permitted
under the Retirement Plan, the full amount of such retirement benefits shall be paid as the Additional Retirement Compensation.

(c) The Additional Retirement Compensation shall be payable at the time(s) and in the form elected by Executive with respect to the benefits which are or may become payable under the Retirement Plan. The amount of each such periodic
installment shall be determined by Employer using actuarial assumptions (including any actuarial reduction for earlier-than-normal retirement) substantially similar to those used in connection with the determination of benefits payable or which may
become payable to Executive under the Retirement Plan.

(d) The Additional Retirement Compensation shall be provided on an
unfunded basis and is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).

3.6 Vacation and Sick Leave. During each year of his employment, Executive shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave benefits equal to the maximum available to any Company executive, determined
without regard to the period of service that might otherwise be necessary to entitle Executive to such vacation or sick leave under standard Company policy.

3.7 Other Employee Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all of Companys employee benefit plans, programs, arrangements and fringe benefit policies made available to similarly
situated senior executives of the Company to the extent he is qualified to do so by virtue of his employment with Company, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of such plans, arrangements and policies, as they may be amended from time to
time.

3.8 Other Perquisites. During his employment hereunder, Executive shall be afforded the following benefits as
incidences of his employment:

(a) Business and Entertainment Expenses - Subject to Companys standard policies and
procedures with respect to expense reimbursement as applied to its executive employees generally, Company shall reimburse Executive for, or pay on behalf of Executive, reasonable and appropriate expenses incurred by Executive for business related
purposes, including dues and fees to industry and professional organizations, bar related expenses, costs of entertainment and business development, and costs reasonably incurred as a result of Executives spouse accompanying Executive on
business travel. Company shall also pay on behalf of Executive the expenses of one club selected by Executive.

Executive in writing at least ten 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.
