Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange of Certificates

4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, the holder of any capital stock of the Company or the sole shareholder of Merger Sub:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of the Common Stock, no par value, of the Company (a "Share" or, collectively, the "Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties and (ii) Shares that are owned by shareholders who have not voted such Shares in favor of the Merger and who have otherwise taken all of the steps required by Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC to properly exercise and perfect such shareholders dissenters rights ("Dissenting Shareholders") (each Share referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) being an "Excluded Share" and collectively, "Excluded Shares") shall be converted into the right to receive $69.25 per Share in cash (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Shares to remain outstanding pursuant to Section 4.1(b)) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a "Certificate") formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and each certificate formerly representing Shares owned by Dissenting Shareholders shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share referred to in Section 4.1(a)(i) or 4.1(a)(ii) (other than any Shares owned by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (including for these purposes TXU US Holdings Company), which shall remain outstanding) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to the right of the holder of any Excluded Share referred to in Section 4.1(a)(ii) to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).

(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, no par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enter into a paying agent agreement with a paying agent selected by Parent with the Companys prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the "Paying Agent"). At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 4.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"), provided that to the extent such deposits are being funded with the proceeds of the Debt Financing, Parent must deposit or cause to be deposited such funds by no later than immediately after the Effective Time. The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poors, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a) shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to make prompt cash payment under Section 4.1(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments under Section 4.1(a).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares evidenced by Certificates (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to each holder of Shares represented by book-entry on the records of the Company or the Companys transfer agent, on behalf of the Company ("Book-Entry Shares"), other than Excluded Shares, a check in the amount of the number of Shares held by such holder as Book-Entry Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to and in accordance with this Article IV.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any Shares at such date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claims or interests of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Person" shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.2(g)) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(f) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Shares that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a shareholder who has not voted such shares in favor of the Merger and who has otherwise taken all of the steps required by Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC to properly exercise and perfect such shareholders dissenters rights shall be deemed to have ceased to represent any interest in the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time and shall be entitled to those rights and remedies set forth in Subchapter H of Chapter 10 of the TBOC; provided, however, that in the event that a shareholder of the Company fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right or remedy granted by the TBOC, the Shares held by such shareholder shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for payment for Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company with respect to shareholders rights to dissent and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(h) No Further Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares.

4.3 Treatment of Stock Plans.

(a) Restricted Stock Awards. Except to the extent otherwise agreed to by Parent and the holder thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time, all restricted stock awards ("Restricted Shares") granted pursuant to the Stock Plans or otherwise that remain unvested shall automatically become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions and each Restricted Share shall be considered an outstanding Share for all purposes of this Agreement, including the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.1(a) and subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(g). To the extent that the award agreement relating to any Restricted Shares provides that the number of such shares that will vest will depend on the achievement of targets measured by total shareholder return, the number of Restricted Shares that will vest in accordance with the prior sentence shall be determined in the same manner as specified in Section 4.3(b).

(b) Performance Awards. Except as provided in Section 4.3(c) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by Parent and the holder thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time, all performance awards ("Performance Awards") granted under the Stock Plans that remain unvested shall automatically become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, shall be paid out, in a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares payable pursuant to each such Performance Award, based on performance through the Effective Time as determined by the Organization & Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Company measured by the Per Share Merger Consideration (with awards measured on absolute performance adjusted for the duration of the performance period through the Effective Time), and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration (the "Performance Award Merger Consideration") in accordance with Section 4.1(a) and subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(g).

(c) Performance Awards Held by Designated Officers. Notwithstanding Section 4.3(b), except to the extent otherwise agreed to by Parent and the holder thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time, all Performance Awards held by the members of the Companys Designated Officers (as defined in Section 5.1(h)) that remain unvested shall automatically (i) become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) be converted at the Effective Time into a cash amount in the same manner as specified in Section 4.3(b) and (iii) be paid out in cash in a lump sum at the end of each such awards currently existing performance period, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(g).

(d) Share-Based Benefits Under Deferred Compensation Plans. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive payments or benefits measured by the value of Shares under any Company Benefit Plans, other than Restricted Shares and Performance Awards, shall entitle the beneficiary thereof to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject thereto immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(e) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company and the organization and compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt resolutions to implement the provisions of Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(b), 4.3(c) and 4.3(d).

4.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, provided that no such action shall be taken in violation of Section 6.1, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

4.5 Treatment of the Convertible Notes. The Floating Rate Convertible Senior Notes due 2033 of the Company (the "Convertible Senior Notes") shall be treated as set forth in Section 6.12.

(b) Capital Structure.

(i) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 1,000,000,000 Shares, of which 459,269,419 Shares were outstanding as of the close of business on February 23, 2007 and 50,000,000 shares of serial preference stock, par value $25 per share, none of which were outstanding as of the date hereof and, except for those Shares issuable or reserved for issuance as described below, no Shares have been issued since the close of business on February 23, 2007 through the date hereof. All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of February 23, 2007, other than up to 9,228,291.884 Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of outstanding awards under the TXU Corp. 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Companys Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the TXU Thrift Plan (collectively, the "Stock Plans") and 1,523,916 Shares issuable, at the Companys option, upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company has no Shares issuable or reserved for issuance and no rights to acquire Shares under the Stock Plans have been issued since February 23, 2007 and through the date hereof. As of the date hereof, there were no options to purchase Shares issued and outstanding. Except as set forth in this Section 5.1(b)(i), there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, performance units, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any equity securities of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding.

Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of each of the Companys Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except for directors qualifying shares and such failure to have such ownership would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The ownership interest in each Subsidiary and interest in each Company Joint Venture is owned by the Company or by a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (each, a "Lien"). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any commitment, arrangement or agreement, or are otherwise obligated, to contribute capital, loan money or otherwise provide funds or make additional investments in any other Person, other than any such commitment, arrangement or agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, with respect to wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company or pursuant to a Contract binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries made available to Parent or Merger Sub. For purposes of this Agreement, a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company shall include any Subsidiary of the Company of which all of the shares of capital stock, other than director qualifying shares, are owned by the Company (or one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company).
