SIZE="2"><B>THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT</B> (this &#147;Agreement&#148;) is made as of the 16th day of March, 2006, between DYNEGY INC., an Illinois corporation (&#147;Dynegy&#148;), and all of its subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;),
and the named employee (the &#147;Employee&#148;). A copy of the Dynegy Inc. [2002 Long Term Incentive Plan][2001 Non-Executive Stock Incentive Plan][2000 Long Term Incentive Plan] (the &#147;Plan&#148;) is annexed to this Agreement and shall be
deemed a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Unless the context otherwise requires, all terms that are not defined in this Agreement but which are defined in the Plan shall have the same meaning given to them in the Plan when used herein.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">1. <B><U>Award</U></B>. Pursuant to the Plan, as of the date of this Agreement (the &#147;Grant Date&#148;), a designated number of
restricted shares (the &#147;Restricted Shares&#148;) of Dynegy&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock, no par value per share (&#147;Common Stock&#148;), shall be issued as hereinafter provided in the Employee&#146;s name subject to certain restrictions
thereon. The Restricted Shares shall be issued upon acceptance hereof by the Employee and upon satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement. The Employee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, and agrees that this award of Restricted Shares
shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan, including future amendments thereto, if any, pursuant to the terms thereof, and to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If it is subsequently determined by the Committee,
in its sole discretion, that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Plan are not compliant with Code Section&nbsp;409A, or any Treasury regulations or Internal Revenue Service guidance promulgated thereunder, this Agreement and/or the
Plan may be amended accordingly. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2. <B><U>Restricted Shares</U></B>. The Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and

assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (any such sale, assignment, pledge, exchange, hypothecation or other transfer, encumbrance or disposition being referred to herein as a
&#147;Transfer&#148;) to the extent then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions (as hereinafter defined), and in the event of termination of the Employee&#146;s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, the Employee shall, for no
consideration, forfeit to the Company all Restricted Shares then subject to the Forfeiture Restrictions, except to the extent that such Forfeiture Restrictions lapse upon such termination in accordance with Section&nbsp;2(b) hereof. The prohibition
against Transfer and the obligation to forfeit and surrender Restricted Shares to the Company upon termination of employment are herein referred to as the &#147;Forfeiture Restrictions.&#148; The Forfeiture Restrictions shall be binding upon and
enforceable against any transferee of Restricted Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:8%; text-indent:4%"><FONT

under applicable tax laws or regulations, and if the Employee fails to do so, the Company is authorized to withhold from any cash or stock remuneration (including withholding any Restricted Shares distributable to the Employee under this Agreement)

to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (b)&nbsp;the Company may refuse to register the Transfer of the Restricted Shares on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed Transfer would constitute a violation of the
Forfeiture Restrictions or, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, of any applicable securities law, and (c)&nbsp;the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the Transfer of the
Restricted Shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">5. <B><U>Employment Relationship</U></B>. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee shall be considered to be in the

Agreement shall confer upon the Employee the right to continued employment by the Company or affect in any way the right of the Company to terminate such employment at any time. Unless otherwise provided in a written employment agreement or by
applicable law, the Employee&#146;s employment by the Company shall be on an at-will basis, and the employment relationship may be terminated at any time by either the Employee or the Company for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Any
