Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 2, 2007, Dynegy Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly named Dynegy Acquisition, Inc.) (“Dynegy”), Dynegy Inc., an Illinois corporation and now-wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy (“Dynegy Illinois”), and Dynegy’s principal financing and indirect wholly owned subsidiary Dynegy Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DHI”), entered into a fifth amended and restated credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Citicorp USA, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-administrative agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent, Citicorp USA Inc., as payment agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the other financial institutions party thereto as lenders or letter of credit issuers.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility amends DHI’s former credit facility (the fourth amended and restated credit agreement, which was last amended on July 11, 2006) by increasing the amount of the existing $470 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to $850 million, increasing the amount of the existing $200 million term letter of credit facility (the “Term L/C Facility”) to $400 million and adding a $70 million senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan B”).

Loans and letters of credit are available under the Revolving Facility and letters of credit are available under the Term L/C Facility for general corporate purposes. Letters of credit issued under DHI’s former credit facility will be continued under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Term Loan B is available to pay a portion of the consideration under the Merger Agreement (as defined below) and for general corporate purposes. In connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below), an aggregate $275 million under the Revolving Facility, an aggregate $400 million under the Term L/C Facility (with the proceeds placed in a collateral account to support the issuance of letters of credit), and an aggregate $70 million under Term Loan B (representing all available borrowings under Term Loan B) were drawn.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of DHI and is guaranteed by certain of DHI’s subsidiaries, Dynegy, Dynegy Illinois and certain subsidiaries of Dynegy Illinois. In addition, the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and certain other obligations to the lenders thereunder and their affiliates are secured by substantially all of the assets of such guarantors. The Revolving Facility matures on April 2, 2012, and the Term L/C Facility and Term Loan B mature on April 2, 2013. Principal of the Term L/C Facility is due in a single payment at maturity; principal of Term Loan B is due in $175,000 installments calendar quarterly in arrears commencing December 31, 2007, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at DHI’s option, at either the base rate, which is calculated as the higher of Citibank, N.A.’s publicly announced base rate and the federal funds rate in effect from time to time, plus 0.50% or the Eurodollar rate (which is based on rates in the London interbank eurodollar market), in each case plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Facility depends on the Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) credit ratings of the Revolving Facility, with higher credit ratings resulting in lower rates. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be either 0.125% or 0.50% per annum for base rate loans and either 1.125% or 1.50% per annum for Eurodollar loans, with the lower applicable margin being payable if the ratings for the Revolving Facility by S & P and Moody’s are BB+ and Ba1 or higher,

 

1


and the higher applicable margin being payable if such ratings are less than BB+ and Ba1. The applicable margins for the Term L/C Facility and Term Loan B are 0.50% for base rate loans and 1.50% for Eurodollar loans.

An unused commitment fee of either 0.25% or 0.375% is payable on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, with the lower commitment fee being payable if the ratings for the Revolving Facility by S&P and Moody’s are BB+ and Ba1 or higher, and the higher commitment fee being payable if such ratings are less than BB+ and Ba1.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains mandatory prepayment provisions associated with specified asset sales and dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation). The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants and events of default. Subject to certain exceptions, DHI and its subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on incurring additional indebtedness, limitations on capital expenditures and limitations on dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants, including (i) a covenant (measured as of the last day of the relevant fiscal quarter as specified below) that requires DHI and certain of its subsidiaries to maintain a ratio of secured debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for DHI and its relevant subsidiaries of no greater than 3.0:1 (June 30, 2007); 2.75:1 (September 30, 2007 and thereafter through and including March 31, 2009); and 2.5:1 (June 30, 2009 and thereafter); and (ii) a covenant that requires DHI and certain of its subsidiaries to maintain a ratio of adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense for DHI and its relevant subsidiaries as of the last day of the measurement periods ending June 30, 2007 and thereafter through and including December 31, 2008 of no less than 1.5:1; ending March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 of no less than 1.625:1; and ending September 30, 2009 and thereafter of no less than 1.75:1.

The foregoing description of the Senior Secured Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Senior Secured Credit Facility attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

On April 2, 2007, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (i) the Merger was effected, as a result of which Dynegy Illinois became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynegy and each share of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Dynegy Illinois outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive one share of the Class A common stock of Dynegy, and (ii) the LS Contributing Entities transferred all of the interests owned by them in entities that own 11 power generation facilities to Dynegy.

In consideration of the transfer to Dynegy of their interests in the 11 power generation facilities, the LS Contributing Entities received (i) 340 million shares of the Class B common stock of Dynegy, (ii) $100 million in cash and (iii) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $275 million (the “Note”) (which was simultaneously issued and repaid in full without interest or prepayment penalty).

Dynegy funded the cash payment and the repayment of the Note and the Griffith Debt using cash on hand and drawdowns by DHI, and subsequent permitted distributions to Dynegy, of (i) an aggregate $275 million under the Revolving Facility and (ii) an aggregate $70 million under Term Loan B.

Each of the LS Debt Facilities contains affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default that are customary for similar agreements.
