to:&#160;&#160;(1) eliminate the option for participants to elect a 15-year
payout upon separation from service for deferrals in fiscal year 2009 and
thereafter under the EAIP, ELTIP, and LTDCP; and (2) change the payment
distribution schedule under the Deferred Compensation Plan starting
in&#160;calendar year 2010 for participants who have separated from service such
that they will receive all subsequent annual installments (following the initial
installment upon separation) in January of each year instead of on the
anniversary of their separation from service.&#160;&#160;These modifications

On
December 30, 2008, Tom Kilgore, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA"), approved amendments to the following TVA
compensation plans (collectively, the "Plans"):
·
Supplemental
      Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP")
·
Deferred
      Compensation Plan
·
Executive
      Annual Incentive Plan ("EAIP")
·
Executive
      Long-Term Incentive Plan ("ELTIP")
·
Long-Term
      Deferred Compensation Plan
("LTDCP")
The Plans
were modified to comply with the final rules of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Modifications were also made
to:  (1) eliminate the option for participants to elect a 15-year
payout upon separation from service for deferrals in fiscal year 2009 and
thereafter under the EAIP, ELTIP, and LTDCP; and (2) change the payment
distribution schedule under the Deferred Compensation Plan starting
in calendar year 2010 for participants who have separated from service such
that they will receive all subsequent annual installments (following the initial
installment upon separation) in January of each year instead of on the
anniversary of their separation from service.  These modifications
will not result in any change to the actuarial value of benefits for
participants.
Copies of
the amended Plans are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5,
respectively.
