The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of October 4, 2010 (the “Securities Indenture”) between Escrow Issuer and Wilmington Trust Company, a Delaware banking corporation, as trustee (the
“Trustee”). 
 The Securities are being issued in connection with (A) the proposed merger (the

Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated April 11, 2010 among RRI, Mirant and Merger Sub and (B) the Refinancing Transactions (as defined herein). 
 The Securities will be initially issued by Escrow Issuer. Concurrently with the completion of the Merger and the Refinancing Transactions (other than the subsequent discharge or redemption of debt),
(i) Escrow Issuer will merge with and into RRI (to be renamed GenOn Energy, Inc.), with RRI continuing as the surviving corporation (such merger, the “Escrow Merger” and, together with the Merger, the
“Mergers”), (ii) RRI will assume all of Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the Securities and the Securities Indenture (such assumption to be effected by RRI’s execution of a supplemental indenture to the Securities
Indenture in connection therewith (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Securities Indenture, the “Indenture”)) and (iii) the funds held in escrow will be released to GenOn Energy, Inc. As
used herein, the term “GenOn” will mean the combined business of RRI and Mirant after giving effect to the Mergers (including RRI’s assumption of all of the obligations of Escrow Issuer under the Indenture). 

For purposes of this Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), (A) the term “Refinancing
Transactions” means (i) GenOn having repaid all borrowings under Mirant North America, LLC’s (“MNA”) senior secured 







 
term loan, (ii) GenOn having redeemed (or having sufficient amounts to redeem) $850 million aggregate principal amount of MNA’s senior unsecured notes and $279 million aggregate
principal amount of RRI senior secured notes and (iii) GenOn having defeased the indebtedness outstanding on the date of the Indenture incurred by RRI or guaranteed by RRI in tax-exempt industrial development bond financings, the proceeds of
which were used to finance the development, construction or acquisition of the 520 MW coal facility and related assets owned by Reliant Energy Wholesale Generation LLC and located in New Florence, Indiana County, Pennsylvania (“PEDFA
Bonds”) and (B) the term “Credit Facility” means the senior secured credit facilities to be entered into in connection with the Merger pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered
into among GenOn Energy, Inc., as a borrower, GenOn Mirant Americas, Inc., as a borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents party thereto as of the date
hereof. 
 Pursuant to this Agreement, at or prior to the Closing Date (as defined herein), Escrow Issuer will enter into an
escrow and security agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), and (a) Escrow Issuer will deposit the net proceeds of this offering (the “Proceeds”), together with cash or Government Securities (as defined in the
Offering Memorandum) (the “Additional Escrow Amount” and, together with the Proceeds, the “Escrowed Funds”) in an amount sufficient to fund the redemption of the Securities and accrued and unpaid interest thereon
to, but excluding, December 31, 2010 (or, subject to the deposit with the escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) of such additional amounts of cash or Government Securities as are sufficient to fund the Special Mandatory Redemption
Payment (as defined herein), March 31, 2011) (the “Merger Termination Date”), when and if due, into a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). If (i) the Merger is not completed on or before the
Merger Termination Date, (ii) the Refinancing Transactions are not completed at or before the Merger Termination Date, (iii) the Merger Agreement is terminated before the Merger Termination Date, (iv) an event of default shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture or (v) at any time, RRI and Mirant, in their sole judgment, determine jointly that the Refinancing Transactions will not be completed on or before the Merger Termination Date, Escrow Issuer will be
required to redeem the Securities of each series at 100% of the issue price of the Securities of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date (such payment amount, the “Special Mandatory
Redemption Payment”) as provided in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Escrowed Funds shall be released only pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Unless the Escrowed Funds are released by the Escrow
Agent to effectuate a Special Redemption (as such term is defined in the Indenture), the Escrowed Funds shall be released to Escrow Issuer at one time to be used in the manner described in the Time of Sale Information (as defined herein) under the
caption “Use of proceeds.” 
 The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated September 13, 2010 (the
“Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and supplements to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum dated September 16, 2010 and September 20, 2010 (the “Supplements”) and will prepare an offering memorandum dated

date, did not, the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, and the Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that (A) the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph
3(a)(i) are limited to statements or omissions based upon information relating to RRI in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum and (B) RRI makes no representation or warranty with respect

such communication by RRI or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below) an “RRI Written Communication”) other than (i) the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum, (ii) the Offering Memorandum, (iii) the documents listed on Annex A hereto, including a term sheet substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, which constitute part of the Time of Sale Information, and
(iv) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case used in accordance with Section 4(c). Each such RRI Written Communication, when taken together with the Time of Sale Information, did not, and at the Closing Date
will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that

	 	(iii)	Incorporated Documents. The documents of RRI incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, when filed with the
Commission, conformed or will conform, as the case may be, in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and did not and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 


 

	 	(iv)	Financial Statements. The consolidated historical financial statements and the related notes thereto of RRI and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by
reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of RRI and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their respective
operations and the changes in their respective cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby except, with respect to interim financial statements, subject to year-end audit adjustments; and the other financial information of RRI included or incorporated by reference in each of the Time
of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum has been derived from the accounting records of RRI and its subsidiaries and presents fairly, in all material respects, the information shown thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, financial statements

secondary trading of RRI’s capital stock or its and its subsidiaries’ long-term debt), or any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, set aside for payment, paid or made by RRI on any class of capital stock, or any material adverse

respective jurisdictions of organization, except, in the case of subsidiaries that are not RRI Significant Subsidiaries (as defined below), where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing and in good standing would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial management, financial condition or results of operations of RRI and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (an “RRI Material Adverse Effect”). RRI
and each of its subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification, and have
all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so duly qualified, in good standing, or have such power or authority would not,

other claim in the nature of a security interest of any third party, except, in each case, as otherwise described in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, including, without limitation, the liens, charges, encumbrances,
security interests, restrictions on voting or transfer related to the June 2007 credit facilities, the 6.75% notes and the guarantees under the PEDFA Bonds, each as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, or related to RRI Energy

	 	(x)	Securities. Upon consummation of the Mergers (including the assumption by RRI of all of the obligations of Escrow Issuer under the Securities Indenture and the
execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture) and, assuming that the Securities have been duly executed, issued and delivered by Escrow Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Securities Indenture and paid for as provided

regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or

or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities. 

  

	 	(xlv)	Statistical and Market Data. Nothing has come to the attention of RRI that has caused RRI to believe that the statistical and market-related data included or

	 	(xlvi)	Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of RRI or any of its directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all
material respects with any presently applicable provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans

company included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that were provided by RRI or jointly by RRI and Mirant have been made without a reasonable basis or based on assumptions RRI did not believe to
be reasonable at the time made, it being understood that such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made and are subject to the statements set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption
“Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements”. 

 (b) Mirant represents and warrants to
each Initial Purchaser that: 
  

	 	(i)	Preliminary Offering Memorandum, Time of Sale Information and Offering Memorandum. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as amended by the Supplements, as of its
date, did not, the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and at the Closing Date, will not, and the Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that (A) the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph
3(b)(i) are limited to statements or omissions based upon information relating to Mirant in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum and (B) Mirant makes no representation or warranty with
respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly
for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Additional Written Communications. Mirant (including its agents and representatives, other than the Initial Purchasers in their capacity as
such) has not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities
(each such communication by Mirant or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below) a “Mirant Written Communication”) other than (i) the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, (ii) the Offering Memorandum, (iii) the documents listed on Annex A hereto, 



  
 13 










	 	 
including a term sheet substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, which constitute part of the Time of Sale Information, and (iv) any electronic road show or other written
communications, in each case used in accordance with Section 4(c). Each such Mirant Written Communication, when taken together with the Time of Sale Information, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that (A) the representations and warranties set
forth in this paragraph 3(b)(ii) are limited to statements or omissions based upon information relating to Mirant in each such Mirant Written Communication and (B) Mirant makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or
omissions made in each such Mirant Written Communication in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative

untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;


  

	 	(iv)	Financial Statements. The consolidated historical financial statements and the related notes thereto of Mirant and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by
reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Mirant and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their respective
operations and the changes in their respective cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby except, with respect to
interim financial statements, subject to year-end audit adjustments; and the other financial information of Mirant included or incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum has been derived from the
accounting records of Mirant and its subsidiaries and presents fairly, in all material respects the information shown thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, financial statements for interim periods have been prepared in conformity with the GAAP
requirements applicable to interim periods rather than the requirements applicable to annual financial statements. 

  

	 	(v)	 No Material Adverse Change. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Information, since the date of the most recent financial
statements of Mirant included or incorporated by reference in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum (i) there has not been any change in the consolidated outstanding capital stock or long-term debt of Mirant and its

secondary trading of Mirant’s capital stock or its and its subsidiaries’ long-term debt), or any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, set aside for payment, paid or made by Mirant on any class of capital stock, or any material
adverse change, or to Mirant’s knowledge, any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the business, properties, management, financial position, or results of operations of Mirant and its subsidiaries taken
as a whole; (ii) neither Mirant nor any of its subsidiaries has (x) entered into any transaction or agreement not in the ordinary course of business (except for the Merger or Refinancing Transactions which are described in the Time of Sale

their respective jurisdictions of organization, except in the case of subsidiaries that are not Mirant Significant Subsidiaries (as defined below), where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing and in good standing would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial management, financial condition or results of operations of Mirant and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Mirant Material Adverse
Effect”). Mirant and each of its subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires
such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so duly qualified, in good standing, or have such power
or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Mirant Material Adverse Effect. Mirant has no subsidiaries other than the subsidiaries that are listed on Schedule 3A to this Agreement. In this Agreement, “Mirant
Significant Subsidiaries” shall mean the “significant subsidiaries” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) of Mirant for the year ended December 31, 2009, which are listed on Schedule 3B hereto.


  

	 	(vii)	Capitalization. All the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each subsidiary of Mirant (A) have been duly and validly authorized

indirectly by Mirant, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim in the nature of a security interest of any third party, except, in each case, as otherwise described in
each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, including, without limitation, the liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests, restrictions on voting or transfer of any third party related to the MNA senior secured credit

each of the other parties thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of Mirant, enforceable against Mirant in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 


  
 15 









  

	 	(xii)	Descriptions of the Mirant Transaction Documents. The statements contained in each of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, insofar as such

not Mirant Significant Subsidiaries, for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Mirant Material Adverse Effect. 


 

	 	(xv)	No Consents Required. No consent, approval, authorization, notice, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or arbitrator or governmental or
regulatory authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by Mirant of each of the Mirant Transaction Documents and compliance by Mirant with the terms thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Mirant

finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities. 

  

	 	(xxvi)	Rule 144A Eligibility. On the Closing Date, the Securities will not be of the same class, within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as securities
of Escrow Issuer listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in an automated inter-dealer quotation system; and each of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, as of
the Closing Date, contains or will contain all the information that, if requested by a prospective purchaser of the Securities, would be required to be provided to such prospective purchaser pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.


  

	 	(xxvii)	No Integration. Neither Escrow Issuer nor any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) has, directly or through any agent, sold, offered for

	 	(xxix)	Securities Law Exemptions. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 1(b) (including
Annex C hereto) and their compliance with their agreements set forth therein, it is not necessary, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and the offer, resale and delivery of the Securities by
the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, to register the Securities under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.


  

	 	(xxx)	No Stabilization. Escrow Issuer has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any

respects. 

  

	 	(xxxiii)	Forward-Looking Statements. The forward-looking statements about the combined company included or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and

“Initial Purchaser Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) (collectively, the “Losses”), that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Escrow Written Communication, RRI Written Communication, Mirant Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (collectively,
the “Indemnification Documents”) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information
relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein; provided, however, that, if, prior to the closing of the Merger,

outside counsel to the Representative) in the absence of any final judgment of a court) contained in or omitted from, or allegedly contained in or omitted from, the Indemnification Documents, then, at the option of the Representative, RRI (in lieu
of Escrow Issuer) agrees to provide the indemnification provided in this Section 7(a) only to the extent of such Losses, (ii) any Losses arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission in any information relating solely to Mirant (in the good faith determination of the Representative (after consultation with outside counsel to the Representative) in the absence of any final judgment of a court) contained in or omitted
from, or allegedly contained in or omitted from, the Indemnification Documents, then, at the option of the Representative, Mirant (in lieu of Escrow Issuer) agrees to provide the indemnification provided in this Section 7(a) only to the extent
of such Losses, or (iii) (x) any Losses arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in any information relating neither solely to RRI nor solely to Mirant and (y) Escrow
Issuer’s indemnification under this Section 7(a) is insufficient in respect of such Losses, then RRI agrees to provide indemnification of 50% of the remaining balance of such Losses and Mirant agrees to provide indemnification of the other
50% of such balance 

  
 32 









 
(it being understood that the indemnification is this clause (iii) is not joint and several and RRI shall have no liability for Mirant’s failure to fully indemnify under this clause

Losses that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to Escrow Issuer, RRI and
Mirant in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Indemnification Documents, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the third paragraph, the fourth and
fifth sentences of the seventh paragraph, and the eighth paragraph, in each case, found under the heading “Plan of distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum. 

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or
demand (collectively, a “proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from
any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further,
that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person,
be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses
of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the
Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its
affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for Escrow Issuer, RRI and/or Mirant, as applicable, their respective
directors and officers and any control persons of Escrow Issuer, RRI and/or Mirant, as applicable, shall be designated in writing by Escrow Issuer, RRI and/or Mirant, as applicable, before the closing of the Merger and by GenOn after the closing of
the Merger. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to
indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person
reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees 

  
 33 









 
and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have given the Indemnifying Party at least 45 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to
or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant on the one hand and the
Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Escrow Issuer, RRI
and Mirant on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by Escrow Issuer and/or RRI from the sale of the Securities and the
total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant on the one hand
and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e) Limitation on Liability. Escrow Issuer, RRI, Mirant and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase
obligations hereunder and not joint. 
 (f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 

  
 34 









  
 8. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall
have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by any of Escrow Issuer, RRI or Mirant or their respective subsidiaries shall have been
suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or
securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or
outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery, of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated
by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum. 
 9. Defaulting Initial Purchaser.
(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such
Securities by other persons satisfactory to RRI and Mirant on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such
Securities, then RRI and Mirant shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become
obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or RRI and Mirant may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in
the opinion of counsel for RRI and Mirant or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and RRI and Mirant agree to promptly prepare any
amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the
context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase. 

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial
Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and RRI and Mirant as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount
of all the Securities, then Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Initial
Purchaser’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements
have not been made. 
 (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting
Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and RRI and Mirant as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the
aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if RRI and Mirant shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers.
Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of RRI and Mirant, except that RRI and Mirant will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 10 hereof and
except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. 
 (d) Nothing contained
herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default. 

10. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this
Agreement is terminated, Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant jointly and severally agree to pay 

  
 35 









 
or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization,
issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any
RRI Written Communication, any Mirant Written Communication, any Escrow Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and
distributing each of the RRI Transaction Documents, the Mirant Transaction Documents, the Escrow Issuer Transaction Documents and the fees and expenses attributable to creating and perfecting the security interest in the Escrow Agreement;
(iv) the fees and expenses of RRI’s, Mirant’s and Escrow Issuer’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility
for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial
Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, any paying agent and the Escrow Agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties);
(viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant in connection with any “road
show” presentation to potential investors; provided that the Initial Purchasers will pay, except as contemplated in clause (v) above, their own counsel fees and their own travel expenses in connection with any “road show”
presentation to potential investors, including 50% of the cost of any chartered aircraft. 
 (b) If (i) this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 8, (ii) Escrow Issuer for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted
under this Agreement, Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial
Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. 
 11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of
Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each Initial Purchaser
referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No
purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. 
 12.
Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of Escrow Issuer, RRI and
Mirant or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant or the Initial Purchasers. 
 13.
Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business
day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (d) the term
“subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (e) the term “written communication” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the phrase
“transactions contemplated by”, with respect to each of this Agreement, the RRI Transaction Documents, the Mirant Transaction Documents and the Escrow Issuer Transaction Documents, shall exclude the Merger and the Credit Agreement.

 Additional Changes to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum: 
 In addition to pricing information set forth above, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum dated as of September 13, 2010, as supplemented by supplements dated September 16, 2010 and
September 20, 2010 will be updated to reflect the following changes (and other information is deemed to have changed to the extent affected thereby): 
  

	 Notes Offered Hereby: 
	The aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be $1.225 billion rather than $1.4 billion. 

  

	 New Term Loan Facility: 
	The new term loan facility is expected to provide for a $700 million seven-year senior secured Tranche B term loan facility, rather than $500 million. The interest rate on the new term loan
facility is expected to be, at our option, either a base rate plus a margin of 3.25% or the Eurodollar rate (not to be less than 1.75% per annum) plus a margin of 4.25% rather than, at our option, either a base rate plus a margin of 3.50% or the
Eurodollar rate (not to be less than 1.75% per annum) plus a margin of 4.50%. 

  

	 New Revolving Facility: 
	The new revolving facility is expected to provide for a $788 million senior secured revolving credit facility, rather than up to $1.0 billion. An incremental $212 million in commitments is
expected to be available until six months after the closing of the Merger. 

  

	 Pro Forma Interest Expense: 
	 The pro forma financial information (including information presented on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Transactions) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum assumed $1.4 billion
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a 9% annual interest rate with an 8-year maturity, a $500 million seven-year new term loan facility at a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 3.50% (including a LIBOR floor of 1.50%) and up to a $1.0 billion
five-year senior secured revolving 



  
 48 









 
credit facility. Based on $675 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes with an annual interest rate of 9.500% and $550 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes with an annual
interest rate of 9.875%, a $700 million seven-year new term loan facility at a floating interest rate of LIBOR + 4.25% (including a LIBOR floor of 1.75%) and a $788 million five-year new revolving facility, the combined company’s pro forma
annual interest expense would have increased by approximately $9 million from the comparable figure included in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

(a) Reflects original issue discount. 

(b) Expected to provide for up to $788 million of borrowings and letters of credit, with the ability to increase
commitments to $1 billion for up to six months following closing. Availability of borrowings under the new revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2010, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the
transactions, outstanding letters of credit were approximately $304 million and availability of borrowings under our new revolving credit facility would be $484 million at closing after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit. In connection
with the closing of the notes, we intend to enter into a new credit agreement governing our new revolving credit facility and term loan facility. Based on expected cash balances and liquidity, we do not expect to draw down on our new revolving
credit facility at closing. 
 (c) Expected to provide for a $700 million seven-year senior secured Tranche B
term loan facility, which will be funded on the closing date. 
 (d) Assumes all $279 million aggregate
principal amount of RRI’s senior secured notes due 2014 will be discharged at or before the closing of the merger and redeemed at the current call price of 103.375% of the principal amount thereof within 30 to 60 days after the closing date of
the merger. The call price for any redemption on or after December 15, 2010 is 102.25%. Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date even though such interest must be paid to the holders of
the notes on the redemption date. 

  
 49 









 (e) Assumes all $371 million aggregate principal amount of PEDFA
fixed-rate bonds due 2036 will be defeased at approximately 107% (including premium of 3% of principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date in June 2011) at or before the closing of the merger. We expect to redeem the PEDFA bonds
when they become redeemable in June 2011. PEDFA is the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority. These bonds were issued for RRI’s Seward plant and are guaranteed by RRI and its subsidiaries. 

(f) Assumes all $850 million aggregate principal amount of Mirant North America’s senior unsecured notes due
December 2013 will be discharged at or before the closing of the merger and redeemed by Mirant North America at the current call price of 103.688% of the principal amount thereof within 30 to 60 days after the closing date of the merger. The call
price for any redemption on or after December 31, 2010 is 101.844%. Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date even though such interest must be paid to the holders of the notes on the
redemption date. 
 (g) Represents the repayment of all outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2010 under
Mirant North America’s senior secured term loan maturing in 2013. Mirant North America’s senior secured term loan maturing in 2013 had an initial principal balance of $700 million, which had amortized to $306 million as of June 30,
2010. In addition to quarterly principal installments, which are currently $0.8 million, Mirant North America is required to make annual principal prepayments under its senior secured term loan equal to a specified percentage of its excess free cash
flow, which is based on adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and as further defined in the loan agreement. On March 10, 2010, Mirant North America made a mandatory principal prepayment of approximately $66 million on its senior secured
term loan. At June 30, 2010, the current estimate of the mandatory principal prepayment on Mirant North America’s senior secured term loan in March 2011 was approximately $21 million. If any principal repayments are made before the
repayment date, which is expected to be the closing date of the merger, outstanding borrowings under Mirant North America’s senior secured term loan on the repayment date will be less than the $306 million amortized balance as of June 30,
2010. 
 (h) Includes (i) initial purchasers’ discount in connection with this offering and other
estimated offering expenses, (ii) fees and expenses in connection with our proposed new revolving credit facility and term loan facility, (iii) other fees and expenses in connection with the RRI and Mirant debt redemptions, repayments and
terminations and (iv) $75 million of merger expenses. Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on RRI’s senior secured notes due 2014 and Mirant North America’s senior unsecured notes due December 2013, to, but excluding, their
respective redemption dates even though such interest must be paid to debtholders on their respective redemption dates. 

Certain affiliates of the initial purchasers are lenders under Mirant North America’s senior secured credit facilities and will
receive a portion of the proceeds of this offering in connection with the termination of those facilities. In addition, certain of the initial purchasers and their affiliates may hold portions of the notes being redeemed with the net proceeds of
this offering. Certain affiliates of the initial purchasers will act as administrative agents and/or lenders with respect to the new credit facilities. See “Plan of distribution.”

having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation), (iii) any judicial or regulatory order or decree of any governmental authority (except that we do not make the assumption in this clause

constitute a default under (i) any agreement or instrument to which Escrow Issuer or any of its properties is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (i) with respect to the Escrow Issuer Organizational
Documents), (ii) any law, rule, or regulation to which Escrow Issuer or any of its properties is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (ii) with respect to the DGCL and those laws, rules and
regulations of the State of New York and those federal laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America, in each case that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and

 (j) we note that certain of the RRI Applicable Contracts and Mirant
Applicable Contracts are governed by laws other than the Applicable Laws; our opinions expressed herein are based solely upon our understanding of the plain language of such agreement or instrument, and we do not express any opinion with respect to
the validity, binding nature or enforceability of any such agreement or instrument, and we do not assume any responsibility with respect to the effect on the opinions or statements set forth herein of any interpretation thereof inconsistent with
such understanding;

 (l) we do not express
any opinion as to the applicability or effect of any fraudulent transfer, preference or similar law on each of the Transaction Documents or any transactions contemplated thereby;

(o) we do not express any opinion herein with respect to the validity, perfection or priority of any security interest; 

(p) we do not express any opinion herein with respect to Section 11(n) of the Escrow Agreement to the extent it establishes a

(q) we do not express any opinion herein as to the enforceability of Section 15 of the Escrow Agreement to the extent that the same
provides that (i) the rights of the Trustee, Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates, as a “bank” and a “securities intermediary” (as each term is defined in the UCC as in effect from time to time in the State of New York), the
holders of the Securities and the Initial Purchasers (collectively, the “Secured Parties”) and the security interests under the Escrow Agreement and (ii) all obligations of Escrow Issuer under the Escrow Agreement, are absolute
and unconditional irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the obligations of Escrow Issuer under the Indenture, the Securities and the Escrow Agreement to redeem the Securities on the Special Redemption Date or, if applicable, the Extended
Special Redemption Date pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and to pay the Special Redemption Price, or the amendment or termination of the Escrow Agreement or the effect thereof on the opinions herein stated; 

(r) for purposes of paragraphs 8 and 17 below, we have assumed that (i) each of the Supplemental Indenture and the Escrow Merger
Agreement, at the time of execution and delivery, will conform to the forms of such agreements examined by us and (ii) the authority of each of RRI and Escrow Issuer to perform 







 
their respective obligations under each of the Supplemental Indenture and the Escrow Merger Agreement will not have been modified, rescinded or revoked; 

(s) we have assumed that at the time of the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture or the Escrow Merger Agreement, as
applicable, there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity, legally binding character or enforceability of the Supplemental Indenture or the Escrow Merger Agreement and that (i) the execution and delivery of the
Supplemental Indenture or the Escrow Merger Agreement, (ii) all the terms therein and (iii) the performance by each of RRI and Escrow Issuer of their respective obligations thereunder will, in each case, comply with applicable laws and
with each requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over RRI or Escrow Issuer, and will not result in a default under or a breach of any agreement or instrument then binding upon each of RRI and Escrow
Issuer or their respective properties; 
 (t) we have assumed that the refinancing transactions (as defined in the Offering
Memorandum) will have been effected at the times and in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum; and 
 (u) to the
extent any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions of the Transaction Documents, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401, 5-1402
(McKinney 2001) and N.Y. C.P.L.R. 327(b) (McKinney 2001) and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations. 
 We do not express any opinion as to any laws other than Applicable Laws and the federal laws of the United States of America to the extent referred to specifically herein. Insofar as the opinions
expressed herein relate to matters governed by laws other than those set forth in the preceding sentence, we have assumed, without having made any independent investigation, that such laws do not affect any of the opinions set forth herein. The
opinions expressed herein are based on laws in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect. 
 Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 







  
 1. Each of RRI, Mirant
and Escrow Issuer has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

2. Each of RRI, Mirant and Escrow Issuer has the full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Offering

Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of RRI, Mirant and Escrow Issuer and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each of RRI, Mirant and Escrow Issuer, enforceable against each of RRI, Mirant and Escrow Issuer in
accordance with its terms, except that certain of the remedial provisions with respect to the security contained in the Escrow Agreement may be unenforceable in whole or in part, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of
the Escrow Agreement, taken as a whole, and the Escrow Agreement, taken as a whole, together with applicable law, contains adequate provisions for the practical realization of the benefits of the security. 

11. The execution and delivery by RRI of each of the RRI Transaction Documents and the consummation by RRI of the transactions
contemplated thereby, will not (i) conflict with the RRI and RRI Significant Subsidiary Organizational Documents, (ii) constitute a violation of, or a breach or default under, the terms of any RRI Applicable Contract or (iii) violate

14. No Governmental Approval, which has not been obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is required to authorize, or is

Purchasers of the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 1(b) and 5 of the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the Initial Purchasers’ compliance with the offering and transfer procedures and restrictions described in the Offering
Memorandum, the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to you in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum and the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated in the
Offering Memorandum and the Purchase Agreement, do not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it being understood that we do not express any opinion
as to any subsequent reoffer or resale of any Securities.

 22. Assuming the consummation of the Escrow Merger, the due execution and
delivery of the Supplemental Indenture and that the Securities have been duly authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered by Escrow Issuer against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture,
the Securities (upon effectiveness of the Supplemental Indenture) will constitute valid and binding obligations of RRI entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, and enforceable against RRI in
accordance with their terms. 
 23. The issuance of the securities (the “Exchange Securities”) to be issued
with terms substantially identical to the Securities, except that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to additional interest provisions or the restrictions on ownership or transfer set forth on the Securities, pursuant to the exchange offer
registration statement on Form S-4 contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, has been duly authorized by RRI. 







  
 24. To our knowledge,

Securities Act in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act relating to an offering of debt securities of the type of the Securities, that are not so disclosed in the Offering Memorandum. 

This opinion is furnished only to you as representative of the Initial Purchasers and is solely for the Initial Purchasers’ benefit
in connection with the closing occurring today and the offering of the Securities, in each case pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any
other purpose or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person for any purpose, including any other person that acquires any Securities or that seeks to assert an Initial Purchaser’s rights in respect of this opinion (other than an Initial
Purchaser’s successor in interest by means of merger, consolidation, transfer of a business or other similar transaction).

	Re:	 	 GenOn Escrow Corp.

$675,000,000 9.500% Senior Notes due 2018

$550,000,000 9.875% Senior Notes due 2020


 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as special counsel to GenOn Escrow Corp., a
Delaware corporation (“Escrow Issuer”), RRI Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RRI”), and Mirant Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mirant”), in connection with the Purchase Agreement, dated
September 20, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among you, as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant, relating to the sale by
Escrow Issuer to the Initial Purchasers of $675,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Escrow Issuer’s 9.500% Senior Notes due 2018 and $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Escrow Issuer’s 9.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (collectively,
the “Securities”) to be issued under the Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2010 (the “Indenture”), between Escrow Issuer and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee. 

This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Purchase Agreement. 

In the above capacity, we have reviewed (i) the preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 13, 2010, relating to the
offering of the Securities 








 J.P. Morgan Securities LLC 
 as Representative of the several Initial Purchasers 
 October 4, 2010 

Page 2 
  

 
(together with the Incorporated Documents (as defined below), the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), (ii) the first Supplement, dated September 16, 2010
(“Supplement No. 1”), to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, (iii) the second Supplement, dated September 20, 2010, (“Supplement No. 2”), to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, (iv) the
Pricing Term Sheet attached as Annex B to the Purchase Agreement (the “Final Term Sheet”) and (iv) the final offering memorandum, dated September 20, 2010, relating to the Securities (together with the Incorporated
Documents, the “Offering Memorandum”). We also have reviewed the documents identified on Schedule A hereto filed by RRI and Mirant, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated by reference into the
Offering Memorandum or the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, as of the date hereof or as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), as the case may be (collectively, the “Incorporated Documents”), and such other
documents as we deemed appropriate. 
 In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives
of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant, special counsel for Mirant, representatives of the independent registered public accountants of RRI and Mirant and representatives of the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers at which the
contents of the Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package (as defined below) and related matters were discussed. We did not participate in the preparation of the Incorporated Documents but have, however, reviewed such documents and
discussed the business and affairs of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant with officers and other representatives of Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant. We do not pass upon, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum or the General Disclosure Package and have made no independent check or verification thereof (except to the limited extent referred to in (i) paragraphs 18, 19 and 20
of our opinion to you dated the date hereof and (ii) our tax opinion to you, dated the date hereof). 

On the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the Offering
Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom, the reports of
management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting or the auditors’ attestation reports thereon, or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Incorporated Documents). In addition, on

the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that we do not express any view as to the financial statements,
schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom, the reports of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting or the auditors’
attestation reports thereon or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Incorporated Documents). 
 As used herein,
“Applicable Time” means 12:55 p.m. (Eastern time) on September 20, 2010, which you advised us is the time of the first contract of sale of the Securities, and “General Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, Supplement No. 1, Supplement No. 2 and the Final Term Sheet, all considered together. 
 This
letter is furnished only to you as representative of the Initial Purchasers and is solely for the Initial Purchasers’ benefit in connection with the closing occurring today and the offering of the Securities, in each case pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. Without our prior written consent, this letter may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other person for any purpose, including any other person
that acquires any Securities or that seeks to assert an Initial Purchaser’s rights in respect of this letter (other than an Initial Purchaser’s successor in interest by means of merger, consolidation, transfer of a business or other
similar transaction).

$675,000,000 9.500% Senior Notes due 2018 

$550,000,000 9.875% Senior Notes due 2020


 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as special counsel to GenOn Escrow Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the “Pledgor”), in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Escrow and Security Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “Escrow and Security Agreement”), among the Pledgor,
RRI Energy, Inc. “RRI”), Mirant Corporation (“Mirant”), Deutsche Bank Trust Companies America (“Deutsche Bank), a New York banking corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, as
“bank” and “securities intermediary” (each term as defined in the UCC (as defined below)) (in such capacity, the “Financial Institution”), Deutsche Bank, as escrow agent, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee
under the Indenture (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 thereto. This opinion
is being delivered pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Purchase Agreement, dated September 20, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Representative, Escrow Issuer, RRI and Mirant. 

In our examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of natural
persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such
copies. As to any facts relevant to this opinion which we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of the Pledgor and its officers and other representatives and of public officials, including the
facts and conclusions set forth therein. 
 In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined and relied on originals
or copies of the following: 
 (a) the Escrow and Security Agreement; and

 (b) such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. 
 Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth in the Escrow and Security Agreement. As used herein: 
  

	 	(i)	“Account” means account number S60899.1, established and maintained by the Financial Institution in the name of GenOn Escrow Corp. Account.


  

	 	(ii)	“UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York (without regard to laws referenced in
Section 9-201 thereof). 

  

	 	(iii)	“Indenture” means the indenture, dated as of the date hereof, between the Pledgor and the Trustee, relating to the issuance of $675,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Escrow Issuer’s 9.500% Senior Notes due 2018 and $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Escrow Issuer’s 9.875% Senior Notes due 2020. 


We express no opinion with respect to any laws other than the UCC. 

We have this date delivered to you our opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Escrow and Security Agreement and certain other
transaction agreements (the “Enforceability Opinion”). We call to your attention that the opinions set forth herein with respect to the security interest of the Trustee are subject to the qualifications contained in such other
opinion. 
 You have asked for our opinion with respect to the security interest granted by the Pledgor under the Escrow and
Security Agreement. We note that the Escrow and Security Agreement purports to serve the dual functions of both a security agreement and an escrow agreement. We express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of purporting to
have the Escrow and Security Agreement function as an escrow agreement. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 

1. Under the UCC, Section 1.4 of the Escrow and Security Agreement is effective to create a security interest in all of the
Pledgor’s rights, title and interest in the Account. 
 2. Under the UCC, Section 1.4 of the Escrow and Security
Agreement is effective to perfect the security interest of the Trustee in the Pledgor’s rights in the Account. 
 Our
opinions are subject to the following qualifications: 
 (a) We have assumed that the Pledgor has rights in the Account, and we
express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the Pledgor’s rights in the Account. 
 (b) We note that pursuant to
Section 8(b) of the Escrow and Security Agreement, the Financial Institution represents that it is a “Securities Intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) with respect to the Account. Based on such representation, we
have assumed that the Financial Institution is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC.

 (c) We have
assumed that the Account is a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC. 
 (d) Our opinion
with respect to proceeds is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC and, in addition, we call to your attention that in the case of certain types of proceeds, other parties such as holders in due course, protected
purchasers of securities, persons who obtain control over securities entitlements may acquire a superior interest or may take their interest free of the security interest of a secured party. 

(e) We express no opinion with respect to any property or assets now or hereafter credited to the Account except to the extent that
(i) a “securities entitlement” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) has been created by the Financial Institution and (ii) such asset is a “financial asset” (as such term is defined in
Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC). Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the nature or extent of the Financial Institution’s rights in, or title to, the securities or other financial assets underlying any “security
entitlement” now or hereafter credited to the Account. We note that to the extent the Financial Institution maintains any financial asset in a “clearing corporation” (as defined in Section 8-102(5) of the UCC), pursuant to
Section 8-111 of the UCC, the rules of such clearing corporation may affect the rights of the Financial Institution. 
 (f)
We have assumed that the Escrow and Security Agreement is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the parties thereto (other than the Pledgor, as to which we express our opinion in the Enforceability Opinion). 

(g) We express no opinion with respect to the choice of law governing perfection, the effect of perfection and non-perfection or priority
of the security interest. 
 This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the Purchase Agreement and is solely
for your benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent. 

Very truly yours,
