Exhibit 2.1.1

EXECUTION VERSION

Confidential treatment has been requested as to certain portions of this document. Each such portion, which has been omitted herein and replaced with an asterisk [***], has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT effective as of July 1, 2004 (this “Agreement”) is by and among PSEG Americas Inc. (“the Purchaser”), and TIE NEWCO Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”), a Delaware limited liability company. The Purchaser and the Seller are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” (each of the Purchaser and the Seller being a “Party”).

RECITALS

A. A limited partnership named Texas Independent Energy, LP (“TIE” or the “Partnership”) was formed under and pursuant to the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware in 1999 and a Third Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement was entered into among the partners of TIE on September 19, 2003 (the “Partnership Agreement”).

B. A Standstill Letter Agreement; Notice of Contribution (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A) was entered into by all the partners of TIE on July 1, 2004 (the “Standstill Agreement”) providing that the Contribution (as defined in the Standstill Agreement) would be postponed to allow this Agreement to be implemented.

C. The Seller owns all of the 100 issued and outstanding shares (the “TPS II Shares”) of TPS Holdings II, Inc. (“TPS II”), a Florida corporation.

D. TPS II owns a 0.5% general partnership interest in the Partnership (the “GP Interest”) and a 49.5% limited partnership interest in the Partnership (the “LP Interest”). The GP Interest and the LP Interest are collectively referred to herein as the “Partnership Interests.”

E. The Seller wishes to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser wishes to purchase from the Seller, the TPS II Shares.

F. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, TPS II owned the Partnership Interests indirectly through an alternative ownership structure. Under that structure, TPS II owned all of the outstanding membership interests in PLC Development Holdings, LLC (“PLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, which in turn owned all of the outstanding membership interests of (i) Panda Texas Generating I, LLC (“Panda I”), a Delaware limited liability company which owned the GP Interest, and (ii) Panda Texas Generating II, LLC (“Panda II”), a Delaware limited liability company which owned the LP Interest. In anticipation of and as a condition to the willingness of the Parties to enter into this Agreement, the ownership structure with respect to the Partnership Interests has been reorganized (the “Reorganization”) such that TPS II now owns directly both the GP Interest and the LP Interest and the Seller now owns both (i) all of the outstanding membership interests in PLC (the “PLC Membership Interests”), which in turn continues to own all of the outstanding membership interests in both Panda I and Panda II, and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of TPS II.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1)	Contribution. In order to accomplish the consummation of the Transaction, the Contribution shall not be effected before the earlier of (a) the Consummation and (b) the Termination Date.

2)	Purchase and Sale; Purchase Price. The Seller will sell to the Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens, and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller, the TPS II Shares (the “Transaction”), for a purchase price of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (the “Purchase Price”).

Sale Procedure. Promptly after the execution hereof, the Seller shall deliver to the Seller’s counsel in Boston, Massachusetts (with a copy delivered to the Purchaser), good and sufficient instruments of sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, selling, transferring, assigning and conveying to the Purchaser good and valid title to the TPS II Shares (the “Transfer Instruments”). Upon written notification from the Seller (the “Seller Satisfaction Notice”) to the Purchaser that the conditions contained in Section 10 hereof have been satisfied or waived by the Seller, the Purchaser shall, promptly after the conditions set forth in Section 11 have been satisfied or waived by the Purchaser, wire transfer the Purchase Price to the Seller’s bank account (such bank account to be designated by the Seller prior to Consummation (as defined below)). Upon the Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Price in the aforementioned bank account in immediately available funds, title to the TPS II shares shall transfer from the Seller to the Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly thereafter cause the Seller’s counsel to deliver the Transfer Instruments to the Purchaser (such delivery, the “Consummation”).

The Seller, on behalf of itself and each of its Seller Post Consummation Affiliates and each of its and their successors and assigns hereby further acknowledges that it is aware that factual matters now unknown to it or them may have given or may hereafter give rise to claims, losses and liabilities that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, that the release contained herein has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of such awareness, and that it nevertheless hereby intends to be bound and to bind each of its Seller Post Consummation Affiliates and each of its and their successors and assigns, to the release set forth above.

Inspection and Due Diligence. The Purchaser acknowledges that, prior to its execution of this Agreement, (i) it or its agents or representatives have been afforded access to and the opportunity to inspect all books and records and other materials it or they have received in connection with the Seller, TPS II, TIE and the TIE Assets (other than written and electronic materials used by the Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the marketing of the Partnership Interests to potential buyers) and have had the opportunity to conduct all such due diligence investigations as it or they deemed necessary or advisable in connection with entering into this Agreement and the Transaction, and (ii) it is relying upon the Seller’s representations and warranties expressly contained herein as to the matters covered thereby and is relying on its own inspections and investigation in order to satisfy itself as to the condition and suitability of the Transaction.

9)	Mutual Covenants. The Seller hereby covenants to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby covenants to the Seller as follows:

Tax Matters.

All Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction (whether imposed on the Seller or the Purchaser) shall be paid by the Purchaser if and when due. The Purchaser will file, to the extent required by applicable law, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and the Seller will be entitled to review such returns in advance and such Tax Returns shall be subject to approval by the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). To the extent required by applicable law, but subject to such review and approval, the Seller or any of its Affiliates will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation.

ii)

The Purchaser and the Seller agree to allocate all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit with respect to TPS II’s indirect interest in TIE to the separate taxable years of TPS II created by the purchase and sale of the TPS II Shares hereunder pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(vi) based upon an interim closing of the books of TIE and the operation of the TIE Assets as of the Consummation of the sale of the TPS II Shares hereunder, determined in accordance with Section 3.2(c)(2) of the Partnership Agreement. The Purchaser and Seller shall each cause TIE to prepare its information returns for the 2004 calendar year (including, without limitation, its U.S. Federal Form K-1s for such year) in a manner consistent with the foregoing and which provides the Purchaser and the Seller with the information necessary to prepare the Tax Returns for such separate taxable years. The Purchaser and the Seller agree to report all transactions (other than transactions occurring in the ordinary course of business of TPS II or TIE) occurring on the day of the Consummation but after Consummation on a separate Tax Return for TPS II for its taxable year beginning on the day after Consummation (or on a consolidated Tax Return for a group of which TPS II is then a member) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) and (b)(2)(vi), and Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and the other members of the federal consolidated group of which TPS II and the Seller are members (the “TECO Consolidated Group”) for any Tax cost imposed on or payable by the Seller or such members with respect to any such transaction occurring on the day of the Consummation.

iii)

All tax-sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving TPS II shall be terminated prior to the Consummation, and, as of Consummation, TPS II and Persons that are Affiliates of TPS II at any time after the Consummation shall have no rights or obligations thereunder as of the Consummation.

iv)

No election under Section 338 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall be made with respect to the purchase and sale of the TPS II Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser shall cause TPS II to join in making any Tax election reasonably requested by the Seller with respect to the TECO Consolidated Group for any taxable period during which TPS II was a member of such group and not materially adversely affecting TPS II for any taxable period (or portion thereof) after Consummation (including, without limitation, any election to waive any net operating loss carryback under Section 172(b)(3) of the Code, to which the Purchaser and TPS II hereby expressly consent and for which such Persons shall provide such consents in the future as are reasonably requested by the Seller). From and after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser make, or cause or permit to be made, any Tax election (i) for which a separate statement is required to be attached to a Tax Return, or (ii) which relates to either TPS II’s Tax basis in the Partnership Interests or the amount of TPS II’s net operating loss carryovers, in either case that would materially adversely affect TPS II for any taxable period (or portion thereof) after Consummation. For the purposes of the two immediately preceding sentences, TPS II shall be deemed to have suffered a material adverse effect as a result of any of the aforementioned elections if such election (or such election combined with another of the aforementioned elections) would result in a Tax cost to TPS II of more than $1 million.

The Purchaser and the Seller agree that no carryback of any loss shall be made by TPS II from any taxable year (or portion thereof) after Consummation to any taxable year of TPS II (or portion thereof) before Consummation. Neither the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates nor TPS II shall amend any Tax Returns of TPS II for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to Consummation, or file a claim for refund of Taxes attributable to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to Consummation.

vi)

The Seller and the Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them or any of their Affiliates reasonably request in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or

a right to a refund of Taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes, in each case to the extent relating to TPS II. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof (together with related work papers), documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities, information (and related work papers and documents) with respect to net operating losses and other tax attributes of TPS II, and making themselves (and their employees) reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information.

Announcements; Confidentiality. Prior to the Consummation, no press or other public announcement, or public statement or comment in response to any inquiry, relating to the Transaction shall be issued or made by the Purchaser or the Seller without the prior joint written approval of both the Purchaser and the Seller; provided that a press release or other public announcement, regulatory filing, statement or comment made without such joint written approval shall not be in violation of this Section if it is made in order for the disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates to comply with applicable laws or stock exchange policies and regulations; and provided further that in all instances prior notice from one Party to the other shall be given with respect to any such release, announcement, statement or comment to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Each Party shall keep all information (i) obtained from the other either before or after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) related to the Transaction confidential, and neither Party shall reveal such information to, nor produce copies of any written information for, or utilize such information in connection with any direct negotiation or other communication with, any Person other than its professional advisors, lenders and prospective financing sources without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such Party is compelled to disclose such information by judicial or administrative process or by any other requirements of law, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to obtain the approval of any governmental authority or third party necessary to consummate the Transaction. The Seller acknowledges that Frontera is located in ERCOT and is a competitor of the TIE Assets. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Seller Post Consummation Affiliates to, instruct (in writing or electronically) all of its and their respective employees that the Seller is under a contractual obligation not to use such Confidential TIE Information for the benefit of Frontera, and the Seller agrees that neither the Seller, any Seller Post Consummation Affiliate nor any of their respective employees shall use any Confidential TIE Information or any information obtained under Subsection 9(d) hereof for the benefit of Frontera or otherwise for the competitive advantage of the Seller or any Seller Post Consummation Affiliate. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of the aforementioned instruction. The Seller shall,

and shall cause each Seller Post Consummation Affiliate to, treat as confidential all Confidential TIE Information, and use at least the same degree of care in protecting such Confidential TIE Information as it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own proprietary information in order to prevent the disclosure of any Confidential TIE Information to any third party except as otherwise permitted in this Section (including without limitation pursuant to Subsection 9(d) below) or otherwise authorized, in writing, by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following disclosures of Confidential TIE Information by Seller or an Affiliate thereof are expressly permitted: (i) disclosures pursuant to securities laws, exchange listing standards or other similar or related regulations, to be made in the Seller’s or any Seller Post Consummation Affiliate’s (as the case may be) sole discretion; (ii) disclosures to judicial, regulatory or administrative entities in connection with a proceeding before such entity or to maintain compliance with, or to prevent violation of law, and (iii) disclosures to legal counsel of the Seller or any Seller Post Consummation Affiliate; provided that in the event the Seller or any Seller Post Consummation Affiliate (as the case may be) desires to disclose Confidential TIE Information other than to its or their legal counsel in accordance with clause (iii) above, such party must (a) provide the Purchaser with prompt notice thereof, (b) consult with the Purchaser on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such disclosure, and (c) cooperate with the Purchaser in any attempt that the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may make to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any Party from seeking an injunction or other equitable relief. No Party shall be entitled to duplicative recovery for any item.

Indemnification by Seller.

Purchaser Claims. The Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its parents and Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Group”),

ii)

Seller’s Limitations. The Purchaser Group will not be entitled to any punitive, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages resulting from or arising out of any Purchaser Claim, including without limitation damages for lost revenues, income or profits diminution in value except to the extent due on any Third Party Claims.

Indemnification by the Purchaser.

Seller Claims. The Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its parents and Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Group”), from and against any and all Losses, including reasonable legal, accounting and other expenses in connection therewith and costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigations and settlement

proceedings, which arise out of, are in connection with, or relate to, the following which arise out of or relate to the following (collectively, “Seller Claims”):

(A)

any breach or violation of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement;

(B)

any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement in Section 5 or any such breach or inaccuracy that would occur if such representations and warranties were made of the date the Seller receives the Purchase Price; or

(C)

except to the extent arising prior to the Consummation or from any amendment or modification thereto subsequent to the date thereof, the Contingent Equity Guarantee dated as of November 21, 2003 by Parent in favor of ING Capital LLC as Agent with respect to OEPP attached as Exhibit G hereto.

ii)

Purchaser’s Limitations. The Seller Group will not be entitled to any punitive, incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages resulting from or arising out of any Seller Claim, including without limitation damages for lost revenues, income, profits or diminution in value, except to the extent due on any Third Party Claim. The aggregate cumulative damages to which the Seller Group will be entitled for all claims hereunder (other than pursuant to Subsection 12(d)(i)(C) and except with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Subsection 5(c) hereof, which claims shall be exempt from this limitation) shall be limited to the Purchase Price (in each case taking into account cumulative amounts paid on all other claims).

Notice of Claim. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and upon a receipt of notice of the assertion of a claim or of the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding that is a Third Party Claim against any member of the Purchaser Group or the Seller Group entitled to indemnification hereunder respectively, such Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) will promptly notify the party against whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any damage, claim, loss, liability or expense which the Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a claim hereunder. Such written notice is herein referred to as a “Notice of Claim.” A Notice of Claim will specify, in reasonable detail, the facts known to the Indemnitee regarding the claim. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the failure to provide a Notice of Claim will not affect the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification; provided, however, the Indemnitor

is not obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for the increased amount of any claim which would otherwise have been payable to the extent that the increase resulted from the failure to deliver timely a Notice of Claim.

Defense of Third Party Claims. The Indemnitor will defend, in good faith and at its expense, any claim or demand set forth in a Notice of Claim relating to a Third Party Claim and the Indemnitee, at its expense, may participate in the defense. The Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor is defending such in good faith. If the Indemnitor elects not to contest a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may, following reasonable notice to Indemnitor, undertake its defense at the Indemnitor’s cost, and the Indemnitor will be bound by the result obtained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor may at any time request the Indemnitee to agree to the abandonment of the contest of the Third Party Claim or to the payment or compromise by the Indemnitor of the asserted claim or demand. If the Indemnitee does not object in writing within fifteen (15) days of the Indemnitor’s request, the Indemnitor may proceed with the action stated in the request. If, within that fifteen (15) day period, the Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor in writing that it has determined that the contest should be continued, the Indemnitor will be liable hereunder only for an amount up to the amount which the Indemnitor had proposed be accepted in payment or compromise.

Cooperation. A Party defending a Third Party Claim will (a) consult with the Indemnitee throughout the pendency of the Third Party Claim regarding the investigation, defense, settlement, trial, appeal or other resolution of the Third Party Claim and (b) afford the Indemnitee the opportunity to be promptly apprised of any material matters involving the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Parties will cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee will make available to the Indemnitor or its representatives all records and other materials reasonably required by them for use in contesting any Third Party Claim (subject to obtaining an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of confidential or proprietary materials in a form reasonably acceptable to Indemnitor and Indemnitee). If requested by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnitor elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any Person. The Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee in cooperating with or acting at the request of the Indemnitor.

Mitigation and Limitation of Claims. As used in this Agreement, the term “Indemnifiable Claim” means Purchaser Claims or Seller Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

Reasonable Steps to Mitigate. The Indemnitee will take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses relating to an Indemnifiable Claim, including availing itself of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against third Persons and other rights at law or equity, and will provide such evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of the Indemnifiable Claim as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor.

ii)

Net of Benefits. Any Indemnifiable Claim shall be limited to the amount of damages sustained by the Indemnitee by reason of such breach or nonperformance, net of insurance recoveries received.

Tax Treatment. All payments made by the Seller pursuant to any claim made hereunder shall be treated as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid hereunder or as a contribution by the Seller to the capital of TPS II immediately prior to Consummation. Any payment made by an Indemnitor in respect of any claim made pursuant hereto shall be reduced by any net Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee attributable to the payment or liability underlying such claim. In computing the amount of any such net Tax benefit, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to realize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before realizing any item attributable to the payment or liability underlying such claim. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax benefit to the extent that the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnitee is reduced below the amount of Taxes that such Indemnitee would be required to pay but for the payment or liability underlying such claim. To the extent a claim does not give rise to currently realizable Tax benefit to the Indemnitee, but such claim gives rise to a subsequently realized Tax benefit to such party in a later taxable year (to the extent not previously taken into account to reduce an amount otherwise payable by the Indemnitor hereunder), the Indemnitee shall refund to the Indemnitor the amount of such Tax benefit when realized. If any such Tax benefit thereafter is disallowed by a final determination of any applicable taxing authority, then the Indemnitor shall repay the Indemnitee the refunded amount.

13)	Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by:

the Seller if it has delivered a Seller Satisfaction Notice to the Purchaser and not received the Purchase Price within fifteen (15) days thereafter, provided that the Seller shall have no such termination right in the case that a condition set forth in Subsections 11(a), 11(b), 11(d), 11(e), 11(g), 11(h), 11(i), or 11(j), has not been satisfied; or

ii)

the Purchaser if it has not received the Seller Satisfaction Notice by August 15, 2004; provided that such date shall be extended

automatically until the date which is two (2) business days following the HSR Date so long as the Seller has taken all actions necessary to effect Seller’s portion of the filing under the HSR Act by August 6, 2004;

in each of the foregoing cases, upon the delivery of written notice to such effect to the other Party (the date of such notice the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that neither Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement to the extent that failure of the other Party to meet its conditions precedent to Consummation is due to the fault of the terminating Party. Upon any termination under this Section, and except to the extent any provision hereof explicitly survives termination hereof by its own terms, no Party shall have any further obligation to the other hereunder other than for its own willful breach of this Agreement.

14)

All notices, requests or other communications required or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given if in writing and either delivered by hand or by overnight courier, or mailed first-class pre-paid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by facsimile transmission (with receipt confirmed by telephone or automatic transmission report), addressed to the Parties at their respective addresses set forth below.
