"Agreement" ') and the Preliminary Approval of Settlement and Scheduling Order ("Scheduling
Order") entered in accordance therewith, a hearing was held before this Court on

accordance with the Scheduling Order; the respective parties having appeared by their attorneys
of record; the Court having heard and considered the submission and evidence presented in
support of the proposed Federal Settlement and any opposition thereto; the attorneys for the
respective parties having been heard; an opportunity to be heard having been given to all other
persons requesting to be heard in accordance with the Agreement and Scheduling Order; the
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms retain the meanings assigned in theAgreement.
Court having determined that notice to the Settlement Class pursuant to the Scheduling Order
was proper, adequate and sufficient; the Court having considered, among other matters, the
benefits of the proposed Federal Settlement to the Settlement Class and the risks, complexity,
expense and probable duration of further litigation; and the entire matter of the proposed Federal
Settlement having been heard and considered by the Court;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED this
day of_ , 2008 that:

pursuant to and in the manner directed by the Scheduling Order, proof of mailing of the Notice
and publication of the Summary Notice was filed with the Court by counsel for Plaintiff
Schipper and full opportunity to be heard has been offered to all parties, the Settlement Class and
persons in interest. The form and manner of the Notice and the Summary Notice are hereby
determined to have been the best notice practicable under the circumstances and to have fully
complied with each of the requirements of the Constitution of the United States and any other
applicable law and constitutes due and sufficient notice to all persons entitled thereto, and it is
further determined that all members of the Settlement Class are bound by the Federal Judgment
herein.
2. The Court finds that the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 have
been satisfied. Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23:
a. the Court specifically finds that (i) the Settlement Class is so numerous
that joinder of all members is impracticable, (ii) there are questions of law and fact common to
the Settlement Class, (iii) the claims of Plaintiff Schipper are typical of the claims of the
Settlement Class, and (iv) Plaintiff Schipper will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the

appropriate since the parties opposing the Settlement Class acted or refused to act on grounds
generally applicable to the Settlement Class;
the Court finds that Plaintiff Schipper and Plaintiffs' counsel ("Lead
Counsel") have adequately represented the interests of the Settlement Class with respect to this
action and the claims asserted herein;
d. this action is hereby certified, for purposes of the Federal Settlement only,
as a class action on behalf of a nonopt out class consisting of all members of the Settlement
Class; and
C. Plaintiff Schipper is hereby certified as representative of the Settlement
Class, and his counsel certified as Lead Counsel.
3. The Court finds and concludes that the Federal Settlement is fair, reasonable and
adequate and in the best interests of the Settlement Class, and hereby approves the Federal
Settlement and all transactions preliminary or incident thereto. The parties to the Agreement are
hereby authorized and directed to comply with and to consummate the Federal Settlement in
accordance with its terms and provisions; and the Clerk of Court is directed to enter and docket
this Federal Judgment in this action.
4. This Federal Judgment shall not be deemed a presumption, concession, or
admission by any Released Person of any fault, liability or wrongdoing as to any facts or claims
that have been or might be alleged or asserted in the Settled Actions, or any other action or
proceeding that has been, will be, or could be brought, and shall not be interpreted, construed,
deemed, invoked, offered, or received in evidence or otherwise used by any person in the Settled
Actions, or in any other action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, for any
purpose other than as provided expressly herein.
3
5. In the event that the Federal Settlement fails to become effective in accordance
with its terms, or if the terms of this Federal Judgment are reversed, vacated, or materially
modified on appeal (and, in the event of material modification, if any party elects to terminate
the Federal Settlement), this Federal Judgment (except this Paragraph) shall be null and void, the
Federal Settlement shall be deemed terminated and the parties shall return to their positions as
provided for in the Agreement.
6. Plaintiff Schipper and each of the Settlement Class Members shall be deemed to
have, and by operation of this Federal Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released,
relinquished and discharged all Released Claims (including claims that Plaintiff Schipper and
each of the Settlement Class Members do not know or suspect to exist at the time of the release,
which if known, might have affected such party' s decision to enter into the release) against the
Released Persons. By operation of the entry of this Federal Judgment, Plaintiff Schipper and the
Settlement Class Members, for themselves and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
predecessors, representatives, agents, successors, and assigns, agree to waive and shall be
deemed to have waived any and all provisions, rights and benefits which they now have, or in the
future may have by virtue of the provisions of § 1542 of the California Civil Code and any other
similar, comparable or equivalent law or provision with respect to the Released Claims, which
section provides as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
The Settling Defendants mailed notices of the Federal Settlement to the
appropriate federal and state officials pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"). The
CAFA notices fully comply with 28 U.S.C. § 1715 and were timely served.
4
8. This Federal Judgment will permanently bar and enjoin the institution and
prosecution by Plaintiff Schipper and any Settlement Class Members of any action against any
Released Person in any court asserting any Released Claims.
9. Upon the Effective Date, each of the Released Persons shall be deemed to have,
and by operation of this Federal Judgment shall have, fully, finally, and forever released,
relinquished and discharged Plaintiff Schipper, each and all of the Settlement Class Members,
and Plaintiffs' counsel in the Settled Actions from any and all claims, based upon or arising out
of the institution, prosecution, assertion, settlement or resolution of the actions or the Released
Claims.
10. This action is hereby dismissed with prejudice against the Released Persons, with
each party to bear its own costs and fees.
11. Without affecting the finality of this Federal Judgment, the Court reserves
jurisdiction of any matters relating to the consummation and administration of the Federal
Settlement.

Cause No. 07-01779, pending in the State Court (the "Derivative Action"). The Proposed

2
Schipper, "Plaintiffs "), and the Sponsors and TXU (collectively the "Settling Defendants" and

Settlement.
II. DESCRIPTION OF TXU SHAREHOLDERS AND THE SETTLEMENT CLASS
If you received this Notice, then you have been identified as a TXU Shareholder and/or a
member of the Settlement Class (a "Settlement Class Member"). All persons who held TXU
common stock at any time from November 27, 2006 to October 10, 2007 are defined as TXU
Shareholders. The Settlement Class consists of all holders of TXU common stock at any time
from February 23, 2007, through and including October 10, 2007, other than Defendants,
members of the immediate family of any such Defendant, any entity in which such a Defendant
has or had a controlling interest, officers of TXU, and their legal representatives, agents,
executors, heirs, successors or assigns of any such excluded person.
III. SUMMARY OF THE LITIGATION
On February 26, 2007, TXU announced that its Board had unanimously approved the
Merger Agreement providing for the Proposed Acquisition.
Between February 27, 2007, and March 20, 2007, three derivative actions were filed in
state district courts in Dallas County, Texas, on behalf of TXU against the Sponsors, the
3
directors of TXU and various financial institutions alleging that those Defendants breached their
fiduciary duties, or aided and abetted other Defendants' breaches of their fiduciary duties, by
failing to conduct a proper sale process in connection with the Proposed Acquisition and to
obtain adequate consideration for TXU' s shareholders . On March 26, 2007, these actions were
consolidated into the Derivative Action in the State Court.
On May 18, 2007, the State Court stayed the Derivative Action so that a Derivative
Demand Committee appointed by TXU' s Board could investigate the allegations asserted in the
Derivative Action and in similar derivative actions filed in Federal Court. On July 18, 2007, the
Derivative Demand Committee filed a motion in the State Court to extend the stay of the
Derivative Action, which motion is still pending.
Between March 5, 2007, and March 8, 2007, three derivative actions were filed in federal
court in Dallas making claims similar to those asserted in the Derivative Action. On March 27,
2007, the defendants moved to dismiss those actions , which motions are still pending. These
federal derivative actions will be dismissed pursuant to the Proposed Settlement.
Between February 25, 2007, and March 7, 2007, eight shareholder class actions were
filed in state district courts in Dallas County, Texas, against the Sponsors, the directors of TXU
and various financial institutions alleging that those Defendants breached their fiduciary duties,
or aided and abetted other Defendants' breaches of their fiduciary duties, by failing to conduct a
proper sales process in connection with the Proposed Acquisition and to obtain adequate
consideration for TXU's shareholders. On March 26, 2007, those actions were consolidated in
the State Court. On May 25, 2007, the State Court dismissed those class actions. On May 31,
2007, the plaintiffs in the state class actions filed a motion for reconsideration and new trial. On
July 25, 2007, in connection with the Proposed Settlement , the plaintiffs in the state class actions
withdrew the motion for reconsideration and new trial. They did not subsequently appeal.
4
On June 14, 2007, TXU filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to a shareholder vote on the Merger Agreement ("the
Preliminary Proxy Statement"). After reviewing the Preliminary Proxy Statement and certain
documents produced by the Settling Defendants, counsel for Plaintiff Schipper in the Class
Action and counsel for Plaintiff Goldmann in the Derivative Action jointly wrote to counsel for
the Sponsors on July 13, 2007, setting forth terms upon which Plaintiffs would consider a
settlement of claims arising from the Merger (the "Settlement Demand Letter").
On July 19, 2007, the Class Action was filed against TXU and its directors on behalf of
TXU's common shareholders alleging that the Preliminary Proxy Statement contains material
misrepresentations and omissions in violation of the Federal Securities laws. Counsel for
Plaintiffs and counsel for the Sponsors engaged in extensive negotiations based on the
Settlement Demand Letter, pursuant to which the Sponsors agreed, subject to TXU's approval,
to: (1) make supplemental disclosures to TXU Shareholders, and (2) modify the Termination Fee
(as that teen is defined in the Merger Agreement). TXU subsequently agreed to these terms.
Consequently, on July 23, 2007, the Settlement Parties reached an agreement in principle
providing for the settlement of the Class Action and the Derivative Action and dismissal of the
federal derivative actions, subject to Plaintiffs conducting discovery concerning the fairness,
reasonableness and adequacy of the Proposed Settlement . On July 25, 2007, TXU filed a
definitive proxy statement which set September 7, 2007, as the date for the shareholder vote on
the Merger Agreement and which included certain disclosures requested by Plaintiffs in the
Settlement Demand Letter (the "Definitive Proxy Statement"). On September 7, 2007, the
shareholders of TXU approved the Merger. On October 10, 2007, the Merger was
consummated.

IV. WHO ARE DERIVATIVE COUNSEL
Derivative Counsel are the attorneys who represent Plaintiff Goldmann in the Derivative
Action. The law fines Donovan Searles, LLC and Payne Mitchell Law Group are the Derivative
Counsel.
V. WHO ARE CLASS COUNSEL
Class Counsel are the attorneys who represent the interests of the Settlement Class as a
whole, which includes members of the Settlement Class. Plaintiff Schipper's counsel are the
Class Counsel: the law firms of Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Hertz LLP and Stanley,
Mandel & Iola, L.L. P. Class Counsel are obligated to represent you, but they are not permitted
to represent the interests of an individual Settlement Class Member in a way that adversely
effects the Settlement Class as a whole. You may seek the advice of your own private attorney,
at your own expense, if you desire.
VI. BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
A. The Disclosures.
The Settling Defendants agreed to, and did, include in the Definitive Proxy Statement the
following disclosures requested in the Settlement Demand Letter:
1. Information detailing whether members of the Sponsors or their management and
TXU's Board or management had any material , pre-existing relationships , including joint board
service or business relationships, which allowed shareholders to assess potential conflicts of
interest in the transaction.
2. Infonnation concerning TXU's and the Sponsors' efforts to garner support for the
Merger from both the environmental lobby and the Legislature.
3. Information pertaining to TXU's future environmental efforts.
4. Information pertaining to the "go-shop" process, which allowed shareholders to
6
evaluate the effectiveness of the process.
5. Information detailing how TXU' s financial advisor concluded that the discount
rates and other financial metrics it employed were accurate and appropriate relative to its
analysis of TXU's weighted average cost of capital and internal rates of return, which allowed
shareholders to evaluate the reasonableness of the analysis.
6. Information pertaining to changes to the opinion of the financial advisor since the
date of the Merger Agreement based on subsequent earnings announcements, modifications to
projections, or changes in assumptions stemming from either financial, global, industry specific,
or company specific occurrences.
7. Information pertaining to the actions taken by the Derivative Demand Committee
in response to the litigation and claims asserted therein , including the demand made on the TXU
Board.
B. The Reduction in the Termination Fee.
Notwithstanding Section 8.5(b) of the Merger Agreement, the Termination Fee would
have been in the amount of $1,000,000,000.00 (one billion dollars) if the Termination Fee had
become payable in connection with a termination pursuant to Section 8.4(a) of the Merger
Agreement that was not made in respect of a Superior Proposal (as that term is defined in the
Merger Agreement), but otherwise, as a result of the Proposed Settlement, the Termination Fee
would have been an amount equal to $925,000,000.00 (nine hundred twenty five million dollars).
VIL REASONS FOR THE SETTLEMENT
Counsel for the Settling Parties believe that the Proposed Settlement is in the best
interests of the parties and TXU's public shareholders.
A. Why Did Plaintiffs Agree to Settle?
Plaintiffs' counsel conducted an investigation relating to the claims and the underlying
7
events and transactions alleged in the Class Action and the Derivative Action. Among other
things , this included the production of non-public documents by the Settling Defendants to
Plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs' counsel have analyzed the evidence adduced during their investigation, and
have researched the applicable law with respect to the claims of Plaintiffs, TXU Shareholders
and TXU against the Defendants and the potential defenses thereto. Plaintiffs' counsel have also
retained a financial advisor and consulted with this advisor throughout the course of this
litigation.
Based upon their investigation as set forth above, Plaintiffs and their counsel have
concluded that the terms and conditions of this Settlement Agreement are fair, reasonable and
adequate to Plaintiffs, TXU Shareholders and TXU, and in their best interests, and have agreed
to settle the claims raised in the Class Action and the Derivative Action pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Settlement Agreement, after considering (a) the substantial benefits that TXU
Shareholders and TXU have received from the Proposed Settlement , (b) the attendant risks of
litigation, and (c) the desirability of permitting the Proposed Settlement to be consummated
pursuant to the terms of this Settlement Agreement.
In particular, Plaintiffs and their counsel considered the availability of credit for
corporate acquisitions and the market's subsequent evaluation of the Proposed Acquisition in
light of that downturn. Regardless of the sale process used, it appeared unlikely to Plaintiffs that
a higher price would be offered for TXU in the foreseeable future. Likewise, it appeared highly
debatable as to whether continued operation ofTXU by its current management would result in a
higher share price than that offered by the Sponsors in the foreseeable future.
As a consequence , Plaintiffs and their counsel determined that it was advisable for TXU's
shareholders to vote on the Proposed Transaction once the shareholders were given full and
8
complete information via the Definitive Proxy Statement containing the supplemental disclosures
obtained by Plaintiffs. Additionally, to facilitate the possibility that a superior proposal might be
made for TXU prior to closing, the Termination Fee was reduced.
Plaintiffs and their counsel believe that, under the circumstances, they obtained the best
possible relief for TXU Shareholders and TXU.
B. Why Did the Defendants Agree to Settle?
The Settling Defendants, and the defendants in all the actions, have strenuously denied,
and continue strenuously to deny each and every allegation of liability and wrongdoing made
against them in the Class Action and the Derivative Action and all the other actions, and assert
that they have meritorious defenses to those claims, that their conduct has, at all times, been
lawful and proper in all respects, and that judgment or judgments should be entered dismissing
all claims against them with prejudice. The Settling Defendants have thus entered into this
Settlement Agreement solely to avoid the continuing additional expense, inconvenience, and
distraction of this burdensome litigation and to avoid the risks inherent in any lawsuit, and
without admitting any wrongdoing or liability whatsoever.
VIII. FAIRNESS HEARING AND SETTLEMENT HEARING
On the day of , 2008, at _.m., the Federal Court will hold a
Fairness Hearing at the United States District Courthouse for the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division, 1100 Commerce Street , Room 1312, Dallas , Texas 75242. At the Fairness

Settlement . The State Court also will consider Plaintiffs ' counsel ' s application for attorneys'
fees and expenses . The Settling Defendants will not oppose any application to the State Court by
