Exhibit 10.gg

TXU

SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

 

1.1 Purpose. The TXU Split-Dollar Life Insurance Program (the “Plan”) was established effective July 1, 1995, was amended and restated effective August 1, 1997, May 12, 2000, August 17, 2001, December 31, 2003 and is hereby amended and restated effective as of May 20, 2005. The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible executives of Participating Employers with insurance on the life of each such executive in recognition of the contributions of such executives to the Company and for the purpose of continuing to maintain a competitive level of benefits. This Plan is designed as an “unfunded or insured welfare” plan maintained by the Company “for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” and, therefore, is designed to be exempt from the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

4.2 Ownership. Subject to the Collateral Assignment of the Policy to the Company, each Participant or such Participant’s designee shall be the owner of the Policy (“Owner”) on such Participant’s life issued pursuant to the applicable Participation Agreement and, as such Owner and subject to Sections 8.2 and 10.2 herein, may exercise all rights of ownership with respect to such Policy.

 

4.3 Payment of Premiums. All premiums on the Policies acquired pursuant to Participation Agreements hereunder shall be promptly paid by the Company when and as they become due in accordance with and subject to the applicable Participation Agreement. The Company may pay such premiums from general corporate assets or it may choose to pay such premiums from Trust assets; provided that, upon and following a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 11 hereof shall control. Beginning August 1, 2002, no additional premiums will be paid on a split-dollar life insurance basis with regard to Executive Officers; provided that, from and after such date, premiums on Policies will be paid in accordance with Addendum 1 to this Plan. The provisions of this Plan, however, shall continue to apply, without modification, to the Policies and premium payments made with respect to Executive Officers prior to such date.

It is the Company’s intention that the Company’s financial obligation with respect to each Policy will be structured to be terminated upon the later of: (1) the Participant’s fifteenth year of full participation in the Plan, as set forth in Section 5.4 herein; or (2) the Participant’s attainment of age sixty-five, at which time the Policy is expected to have a cash surrender value sufficient, at least, to maintain the Policy in force at its level at such time.

As security for the Participant’s obligations under the Participation Agreement, each Participant shall assign to the Company, by Collateral Assignment, an interest in the cash value and Benefits of the Policy on such Participant’s life. The Collateral Assignment of any Policy shall be in the form(s) approved, from time to time, by the Company in its sole discretion.

SECTION 5. BENEFITS

 

5.1 Level. Benefits, subject to the Collateral Assignment and, for individuals who become Eligible Employees on or after October 15, 1996, to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 5.2 below, shall be payable from the Policy. The amount of the Benefit provided under the Policy with respect to each Participant shall be determined in accordance with provisions of subsection 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) below, as applicable.

 

  (a)

Individuals who Become Participants after January 1, 2002. For Eligible Employees who become Participants after January 1, 2002, the Benefit provided for under the Policy shall be an amount equal to a multiple of the Participant’s

Benefit

A

  4 x Compensation

B

  3 x Compensation

C

  2 x Compensation

The determination of a Participant’s officer category shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion using such factors as it may deem appropriate and all decisions of the Company shall be final and binding on all parties. Each Participant’s Benefit amount shall be communicated to him upon his becoming a Participant hereunder, and shall be subject to change in accordance with the table set forth above in the event, and to the extent, that a Participant’s officer category changes.

 

  (b) Individuals who Become Participants before January 1, 2002. For Eligible Employees who become Participants before January 1, 2002, a determination will be made as to the vested portion of each such Participant’s Benefit as of January 1, 2002. The Benefit which shall be available to such Participants hereunder shall be the greater of: (i) such vested Benefit amount; or (ii) the Benefit provided for in the table set forth in subsection 5.1(a) above, provided that each such Participant shall be entitled to a Benefit of not less than 2 x Compensation. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, a Participant is entitled to a Benefit greater than his vested Benefit as of January 1, 2002, he shall be required to vest in the difference between such vested Benefit and the Benefit to which he is entitled under the preceding sentence in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 5.2 below. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, an Early Termination shall not be deemed to have occurred merely because a Participant covered under this subsection 5.1(b) is not, as of January 1, 2002, designated as a category A, B or C officer or he ceases at any time thereafter to be so designated.

A Participant’s Benefit shall not be decreased because of lower Compensation; provided that, the Company reserves the right to adjust the face amount of any Policy which cannot be issued by the Insurer under standard cost in the following manner: to the extent that the premium would exceed one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the standard cost (“Premium Amount”), the Committee may reduce the face amount of coverage to the level such Premium Amount would purchase or in such other manner as the Committee deems appropriate.

 

5.2

Vesting. Individuals who become Eligible Employees on or after October 15, 1996, shall not be immediately fully vested in the Benefit, but shall vest in the Benefit periodically

5.3 Company’s Limited Obligation. The Company shall have no further obligation to provide Benefits other than to pay premiums under Section 4.3 herein to maintain the Policy at the level set forth in Section 5.1 herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not pay premiums on Policies for Executive Officers on a split-dollar basis from and after August 1, 2002. Premium payments on Policies for Executive Officers shall, from and after August 1, 2002, be made only in accordance with the provisions of Addendum 1 to this Plan. The Participant, other Owner, or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary shall look solely to the Insurer and the Policy for payment of Benefits under the Plan.

 

5.4 Termination of Agreement. As set forth in the Participation Agreement, the Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) Early Termination, (b) death of the Participant, (c) the April 1 following the later of (i) obtaining age sixty-five or (ii) fifteen years of full participation in the Plan, or (d) termination of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Full participation in the Plan shall not include the period during which the Policy is a policy of term life insurance.

 

5.5 Distribution. If the Agreement terminates because of Early Termination, the Participant will pay to the Company an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the total amount of premiums paid with respect to the vested portion of the Policy; or (b) the cash surrender value of the vested portion of the Policy. Upon receipt of this amount, the Company will release the Collateral Assignment with respect to the vested portion of the Policy. If the Policy is comprised of more than one life insurance policy, the Committee will determine in its sole discretion how and in which order such life insurance policies will vest. The Policy or the balance, if any, payable under the Policy will then be fully distributable according to the terms of the Policy.

Notwithstanding anything herein seemingly to the contrary, in the event that the Participant retires under the Retirement Plan, ceases to be an Eligible Employee upon reaching age fifty-five and fifteen years of Accredited Service, or becomes eligible for benefits under the Disability Plan, such Participant will remain a Participant in the Plan until the Participation Agreement otherwise terminates. Retirement under the Retirement

 

-8-


Plan, in general, is retirement upon obtaining age fifty-five and fifteen years of Accredited Service, if early, or upon obtaining age sixty-five.

If the Agreement terminates because of reasons other than Early Termination, the Company will receive the total amount of premiums paid with respect to the Policy from the cash surrender value or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Company will receive the amount in excess of the level of the vested Benefits payable from the proceeds of the Policy. The Participant, if such amount is not paid directly to the Company by the Insurer, agrees, pursuant to the Participation Agreement, to reimburse the Company for such amount. Upon receipt of this amount, the Company will release the Collateral Assignment with respect to the Policy. The Policy or the balance, if any, payable under the Policy, or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the level of the vested Benefits payable from the proceeds of the Policy will be fully distributable according to the terms of the Policy.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or of any Agreement, upon a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 11 shall apply.

 

5.6 Tax Offset Payments. Upon reaching retirement, to the extent that a Participant may be deemed to realize gross income in any year for Federal income tax purposes on the economic benefit of the Policy on the Participant’s life (or other applicable measures for income tax purposes), the Company, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, may pay to each such Participant such amount as will fully compensate the Participant for all such taxes attributable to the receipt of such income and such payment in order to preserve for the Participant on an after-tax basis the full Benefits intended to be conferred by this Plan.

 

5.7 Claims. All claims for Benefits shall be filed with the Insurer.

SECTION 6. TRANSFERABILITY AND SPEND THRIFT PROVISION

 

6.1 Nontransferability. Any assignment of the Policy by the Participant for estate planning, tax planning or other purposes shall be subject to the Collateral Assignment; and such Assignment shall so provide. Any rights to Benefits under the Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant, other Owner or the Beneficiary.

SECTION 7. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES

7.1 Specified Beneficiary. The Owner shall designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who, upon the Participant’s death, are to receive, subject to the Collateral Assignment, the proceeds of the Policy. All Beneficiary designations shall be in writing and signed by the Owner, and shall be effective only if and when delivered to the Insurer during the lifetime of the Participant. The Owner may, from time to time during the Participant’s lifetime, change the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by a signed, written instrument delivered to the Insurer. The payment of amounts shall be in accordance with the last unrevoked written designation of the Beneficiary that has been signed and so delivered.

SECTION 8. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS

 

8.1 Employment. All Participants understand that they are employees at will.

8.2 Loans. Prior to the termination of the Participation Agreement, the Participant or other Owner shall not have the right to pledge the Policy as security for a loan or to obtain from the Insurer a loan against the cash surrender value of the Policy.

The Committee shall appoint a Plan Administrator to assist in carrying out the operations of the Plan.

 

SECTION 10. RIGHTS OF COMPANY

 

10.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend, terminate, or suspend the Plan at any time. Any such amendment, termination, or suspension of the Plan shall be effective on such date as the Board of Directors may determine.

of the Policies in force in an amount at least equal to the vested Benefit level as of the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) with respect to the vested portion of each Participant’s Benefit as of the date of the Change in Control, no Agreement shall terminate by reason of Early Termination or the termination of this Plan, but each Agreement shall continue in effect until otherwise terminated upon the death of the Participant or the April 1 following the later of the Participant obtaining age sixty-five or fifteen years of full participation in the Plan and/or under the Agreement, it being the intent of this provision that, following a Change in Control, the vested portion of each Participant’s Benefit shall be fully funded in the Trust and nonforfeitable. Thereafter, the Committee shall direct the Trustee to promptly pay the premiums on all Policies when and as they become due. At least annually prior to the premium due date of the Policies, the Committee shall evaluate the amount of assets held in the Trust and shall make additional irrevocable contributions to the Trust, in amounts determined by the Committee, such that, at all times, the Trust shall maintain assets which, at a minimum, shall be sufficient to pay the premiums on at least the vested portion of all Policies as of the date of the Change in Control until such time as each Policy has a cash surrender value sufficient, at least, to continue to maintain the Policies in force in an amount at least equal to the vested level as of the date of the Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each outstanding Agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any party, be deemed to incorporate the provisions of this Section 11, and the provisions of this Section 11 shall control and take precedence over any contrary or seemingly conflicting provision (or absence of a provision) elsewhere in this Plan or in any Agreement.
