                                     between

 

                           BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY

 

                                       and

 

                             TXU ENERGY COMPANY LLC

 

          This Installment Payment and Bond Amortization Agreement, dated as of

October 1, 2003 (the "Agreement"), by and between BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY (the

"Authority") and TXU ENERGY COMPANY LLC (the "Company"):

 

                                                       WITNESS:

 

                          GENERAL RECITALS AND FINDINGS

 

         (a) The Authority is a governmental agency and body politic and

corporate, created as a conservation and reclamation district, and political

subdivision of the State of Texas, pursuant to and functioning under the

Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, including particularly Article XVI,

Section 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 221, Texas Water Code (formerly

compiled as Article 8280-101, V.A.T.C.S., as amended) (the "Authority Act"); and

the Company is a limited liability company formed and existing under and by

virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware and is fully qualified to transact

business in the State of Texas.

 

         (b) This Agreement is authorized and executed pursuant to applicable

laws, including the Authority Act, Chapter 30 of the Texas Water Code ("Chapter

30"), and Chapter 383 of the Texas Health and Safety Code ("Chapter 383"),

Chapter 1371, Texas Government Code ("Chapter 1371"), and Chapter 1207, Texas

Government Code ("Chapter 1207") (collectively, the "Acts").

 

         (c) The Company or one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries own and

operate an electric generating station called Sandow Unit No. 4, in Milam

County, Texas (the "Plant"), and the Authority and the Company have previously

entered into an Installment Payment and Bond Amortization Agreement dated as of

December 1, 2001 (the "Original Agreement") in accordance with which the

Authority has issued its Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (TXU Electric

Company Project) Taxable Series 2001H (the "Refunded Bonds") in the aggregate

principal amount of $30,820,000, for the purpose of providing funds for the

acquisition, construction and improvement of an undivided interest in certain

air pollution control facilities and solid waste disposal facilities (the

"Facilities") located at the Plant.

 

         (d) All of the outstanding Refunded Bonds are being refunded with

proceeds of the Bonds (as defined below) and moneys provided by the Company.

 

<PAGE>

 

                                  

         (e) The Authority has previously determined, in the public interest,

that it would acquire, construct and improve or cause to be acquired,

constructed and improved the Facilities, and would sell the Facilities to the

predecessor to the Company in the manner provided in the Acts.

 

         (f) Pursuant to the terms of the Original Agreement and the trust

indenture and bond resolution pursuant to which the Refunded Bonds were issued

(such trust indenture and bond resolution are collectively referred to as the

"Refunded Bonds Indenture"), the Company is obligated to pay or cause to be paid

amounts due with respect to the Refunded Bonds (the "Prior Installment

Payments"), which Prior Installment Payments are to be timely made to the

trustee under the Refunded Bonds Indenture (the "Refunded Bonds Trustee"), in

amounts that, together with other moneys available therefor, will be sufficient

to pay the principal of, and redemption premium, if any, and interest on, the

Refunded Bonds when due.

 

         (g) At the request of the Company, the Authority has determined, in the

public interest, that it will issue a series of its bonds designated as follows:

Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (TXU Energy Company LLC Project)

Series 2003D (the "Bonds") for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds in

the manner provided in the Acts and this Agreement.

 

         (h) The Authority has entered into a Trust Indenture dated as of

October 1, 2003 with The Bank of New York, as trustee (with such successors in

that capacity, the "Trustee") thereunder (the "Indenture"), for the purpose of

issuing the Bonds for the purposes stated above.

 

         (i) The Company has agreed to make payments hereunder in consideration

of the Authority's issuance of the Bonds and the application of the proceeds

from the sale of the Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds, thereby satisfying its

debt service obligations under the Original Agreement.

 

         (j) The Legislature of the State of Texas, through the Acts, has

provided and determined that it is the policy of the State of Texas and the

purpose of the Acts that the resources of the State of Texas be safeguarded from

pollution. In the Original Agreement and in this Agreement, the Company has

represented and is representing that the Facilities have been designed for the

purpose of protecting the public from pollution. The Authority, by carrying out

the purposes of the Acts, as provided in this Agreement and in the Original

Agreement, finds that such purposes constitute an essential public function

under the Texas Constitution. The Authority further officially finds and

determines (and reconfirms its findings in the Original Agreement) that the

control of pollution is and will be for the specific purpose of conservation and

development of the natural resources of the State of Texas, within the meaning

of Article XVI, Section 59(a) of the Texas Constitution, through the prevention

of damage to or destruction of the environment, resulting in the conservation

and development of such natural resources.
