     (a) by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;
     (b) by Buyer (i) if any of the conditions in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2

time after the First Outside Date;
     (c) by Seller if any of the conditions in Section 6.1, other than Section

of the condition contained in Section 6.1(d), shall not have been fulfilled or
otherwise waived in writing by Seller by September 30, 2006 (the “Second Outside

     (d) by Seller at any time after the Second Outside Date;
     (e) by Buyer or Seller if any Governmental Authority of competent
jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or injunction or taken any other

action shall have been final and non-appealable;
     provided, however, that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant

Party, at such time, is in material breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) the right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) shall not be available to a
Party if such Party, at such time, is in breach of any representation, warranty,

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

agreement set forth in this Agreement and such breach is the primary cause for
the failure to close by the Outside Date.
     7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given by a Party so
terminating to the other Party and, except as provided in this Section 7.2, this

be, of one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) the obligations
provided in this Section 7.2 and Section 9 shall survive any such termination.

each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all damages,
liabilities, penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, including such fees and expenses

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     8.2 The Buyer’s Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Closing,
Buyer and Dynegy agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Seller, NRG and their respective officers, directors, members,
managers, stockholders, Affiliates, employees, successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against and reimburse
each of the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses
suffered or incurred by, and all claims, actions, suits or demands made against
a Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to:
     (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in
this Agreement (including any of the related Disclosure Schedules thereto), in
any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer or Dynegy at the Closing
and any Ancillary Agreement; and
     (b) any failure to perform any covenants of the Buyer or Dynegy contained
in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
     8.3 Environmental Indemnification. Without limiting the generality of the
obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 8.2 above, Buyer and Dynegy agree,
jointly and severally, to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Seller Indemnified Parties from and against, and agree not to sue or join the
Seller Indemnified Parties in any lawsuit or proceeding for, any and all claims,
actions, suits, demands, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict
liability arising under Environmental Laws), obligations, damages, judgments,
awards, penalties, settlements, fines, losses, costs, and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees), of any kind or nature, directly or
indirectly resulting from, relating to or arising out of the following and
attributable to or arising from any event, condition, circumstance, activity,
practice, incident, action or plan existing, commencing, or occurring at any

Facilities):
     (a) Any actual or threatened violation of, liability under, non-compliance
with, or environmental response obligation arising pursuant to, any
Environmental Laws;
     (b) Any liability, including, without limitation, strict liability,
associated with the treatment, storage, disposal, or transportation for
treatment, storage, or disposal, of Materials of Environmental Concern generated
at any time by RRP, Termo Alpha or the Facility or for which RRP or Termo Alpha
arranged at any time for treatment, storage or disposal; and
     (c) The presence at any time of any Materials of Environmental Concern
exceeding naturally-occurring concentrations on, in, under or affecting all or
any portion of any of the Business Facilities of RRP or Termo Alpha or the
Facility and any release or threatened release at any time with respect to
Materials of Environmental Concern.
     The obligations of the Buyer and Dynegy hereunder are not contingent upon
the assertion of a claim, directive, action or proceeding by a Governmental
Authority or third party. Buyer

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and Dynegy shall be solely liable for all such environmental matters
notwithstanding any Seller Indemnified Party’s potential strict liability or
alleged negligence.
     8.4 Tax Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Buyer shall be under no duty or obligation to indemnify the Seller
for any income tax liability due to the assignment, sale or transfer of the
Membership Interests.
     8.5 Survival Periods. The representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3 and Section 4 shall survive the Closing for a period of two years;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.1 (Ownership of Membership Interests), Section 3.2 (Authority of
Seller) and Section 4.2 (Authority of Buyer) shall survive the Closing
indefinitely. All other covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in
this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely.
     8.6 Limitations on Liability.
     (a) In no event shall Seller or NRG (determined on a combined basis) have
any liability or obligation with respect to claims pursuant to Section 8.1 for
any amounts in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price.
     (b) In no event shall Buyer or Dynegy (determined on a combined basis) have
any liability or obligation with respect to claims pursuant to Section 8.2 or
Section 8.3 for any amounts in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price.
     (c) No indemnifying Party (“Indemnitor”) shall have any obligation to
indemnify a Party for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, lost
profits or similar items, except with respect to matters involving actions,
claims or other proceedings brought or asserted by third parties and then only
to the extent that an indemnified party (“Indemnified Party”) is required to pay
any such damages, lost profits or similar items to such third parties. Nothing
in this Agreement is intended to require the payment by the Indemnitor of
duplicative, in whole or in part, indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party.
     (d) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided by an
Indemnitor under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 shall be net of (1) any amounts
recovered by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses pursuant to any
indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party in excess
of any associated cost to the Indemnified Party in obtaining such
indemnification; (2) any insurance proceeds or other reimbursement received as
an offset against such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue
hereunder to any insurer or third-party indemnitor); and (3) an amount equal to
the net cash tax benefit actually received attributable to such Losses. If the
amount to be netted is determined after payment by the Indemnitor of any amount,
the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnitor, promptly after such
determination, any amount that the Indemnitor would not have had to pay pursuant
to this Section 8.6 had such determination been made at the time of payment.
     (e) All indemnification payments made in accordance with this Section 8
will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except to the extent
that the Laws of a

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

particular jurisdiction provide otherwise, in which case such payments shall be
made in an amount sufficient to indemnify the relevant Party on an after-Tax
basis (determined by reference to actual out-of-pocket Tax liability incurred by
the relevant Party).
     (f) Any claim for indemnification with respect to any of such matters
identified in Section 8.5 above which is not asserted by notice given as herein
provided within such specified period of survival may not be pursued and is
hereby irrevocably waived after such time.
     (g) No Party shall be required to pay or be liable for any Losses with
respect to an individual claim (which individual claim shall include claims
arising out of the same or substantially related circumstances) under
Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 unless and until the Losses for such claim exceed One
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “De Minimis Amount”).
     (h) Except claims made pursuant to the Litigation Agreement for which there
shall be no Deductible, no Party shall be required to pay or be liable with
respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 unless
and until the aggregate amount of Losses to Buyer’s Indemnified Persons based
upon, attributable to or resulting from these indemnities of Sellers exceed, in
the aggregate, Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) (the “Deductible”),
disregarding any individual claim (which individual claim shall include claims
arising out of the same or substantially related circumstances) that does not
exceed the De Minimis Amount applicable pursuant to Section 8.6(g) and then only
to the extent that such Losses exceed the Deductible.
     8.7 Procedure for Indemnification Claims.
     (a) Third Party Claims.
     (i) Each Party shall, with reasonable promptness after obtaining knowledge
thereof, provide the other Party or parties against whom a claim for
indemnification is to be made under this Section 8 with written notice of all
third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments that may
be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8, (collectively,
“Third Party Claims”), which notice shall include a statement of the basis of
the claim for indemnification, including a summary of the facts or circumstances
that form the basis for the claim, a good faith estimate of the amount of Losses
claimed by the third party and copies of any pleadings or demands from the third
party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that such notice is in any event
given within the survival periods stated in Section 8.5, the failure to provide
such notice reasonably promptly shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its
obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is
materially prejudiced by such failure, and shall not relieve the Indemnitor from
any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party
otherwise than under this Section 8.

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     (ii) A potential Indemnitor shall have 30 days after its receipt of the
claim notice to notify the potential Indemnified Party in writing whether or not
the potential Indemnitor agrees that the claim is subject to this Section 8 and,
if so, whether the Indemnitor elects to undertake, conduct and control, through
counsel of its choosing (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, such
consent not to be withheld unreasonably) and at its sole risk and expense, the
settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party determines, in writing provided to Indemnitor,
that there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest which
makes it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnitor, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain
its own counsel (such counsel subject to the reasonable approval of the
Indemnitor), with the reasonable costs and expenses of such counsel to be paid
by the Indemnitor.
     (iii) If within 30 days after its receipt of the claim notice the
Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party that it elects to undertake the
settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate reasonably with the Indemnitor in connection therewith including,
without limitation, by making available to the Indemnitor all relevant
information and the testimony of employees material to the defense of the Third
Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable
out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such cooperation. The
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to approve any proposed settlement that
would impose any obligation or duty on the Indemnified Party or include a
finding or admission of any violation of applicable law on the part of the
Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. So long as
the Indemnitor is diligently and in good faith contesting the Third Party Claim
(1) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in all aspects of,
but not conduct or control, the settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim
through counsel and advisors chosen by the Indemnified Party, at its expense,
and (2) the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle the Third Party Claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay
or settle any Third Party Claim at any time without the consent of the
Indemnitor, provided that the terms and conditions of such settlement involve
solely the payment of money damages and the Indemnified Party waives any right
to indemnification therefor by the Indemnitor.
     (iv) If the potential Indemnitor does not provide the notice described in
Section 8.7(a)(ii) within the 30-day period required thereby or if the potential
Indemnitor fails to either contest or undertake settlement negotiations in
connection with the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter
have the right to contest, settle or reach a compromise with respect to the
Third Party Claim at its exclusive discretion, at the risk and expense of the
Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor will thereby waive any claim, defense or argument
that the Indemnified Party’s settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim is
in any respect inadequate or unreasonable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
potential Indemnitor fails to provide the notice described in Section 8.7(a)(ii)
within the 30-day period required thereby, the potential Indemnified Party shall

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

provide one fax notice of such Third Party Claim to the chief legal officer of
the potential Indemnitor. If the Potential Indemnitor still does not provide the
required notice within three days after receipt of such fax notice, the
potential Indemnitor shall not be deemed by such failure to have accepted
liability for the Third Party Claim except to the extent that the Indemnified
Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to provide notice within the
30-day period.
     (b) Non Third Party Claims.
     (i) Each Party shall deliver to the other Party or parties against whom a
claim for indemnification is to be made under this Section 8 written notice of
any claims for indemnification under this Section 8, other than Third Party
Claims, which notice shall include a statement of the basis of the claim for
indemnification, including a summary of the facts or circumstances that form the
basis for the claim, and a good faith estimate of the actual or future potential
amount of Losses.
     (ii) A potential Indemnitor shall have 30 days after its receipt of the
claim notice to notify the potential Indemnified Party in writing whether or not
the potential Indemnitor agrees that the claim is subject to this Section 8 (a
“Response Notice”). If the potential Indemnitor does not provide a Response
Notice to the Indemnified Party within the required 30-day period, the
Indemnitor shall be deemed to accept liability for all Losses described in the
claim notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the potential Indemnitor fails
to provide a Response Notice within such 30-day time period the potential
Indemnified Party shall provide one fax notice of such claim to an officer of
the potential Indemnitor. If the potential Indemnitor does provide a Response
Notice within three days after receipt of such fax notice, the potential
Indemnitor shall not be deemed by such failure to have accepted liability for
the claim except to the extent that the Indemnified Party is materially
prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice within the 30-day period.
     (c) Exclusive Remedy. A Party’s right to indemnification provided in this
Section 8 is the sole and exclusive remedy of that Party from and after the
Closing with respect to any Losses arising out of or relating to the
negotiation, execution, delivery, performance or non-performance of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 8.8 shall restrict or prohibit any Party from bringing
any action (i) for injunctive relief or specific performance to the extent
legally available or (ii) in the event of fraud by a Party. Each Party waives
any provision of applicable Law to the extent it would initiate, limit or
restrict the agreement in this Section 8.8.
SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS
     9.1 Costs and Expenses. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, each Party shall pay be responsible for and pay its own costs and
expenses associated with the performance of, and compliance with, all agreements

instrument executed by the Seller and the Buyer. Except as may be otherwise
provided in this Agreement, no waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether
or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver, and no
waiver shall be binding on any Party unless evidenced by an instrument in
writing executed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced.

confidential information, and, unless required to do so by applicable law,
applicable rules of stock exchanges, or generally accepted accounting
principles, neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall disclose any information

other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     9.6 Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and
other communications provided for herein shall be validly given, made or served,
