Exhibit 4.2

 

EIGHTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

FOR ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

 

EIGHTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees”), dated as of October 28, 2015, among Energy Choice Solutions LLC, a Texas limited liability company, NRG ECOKAP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, NRG Greenco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and NRG Greenco Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), subsidiaries of NRG Energy, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein), and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 21, 2014 providing for the issuance of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantees”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Company and the other Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

1.                                      Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.                                      Agreement to Guarantee.  The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby become parties to the Indenture as Guarantors and as such will have all the rights and be subject to all the Obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiaries hereby agree to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantees and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.

 

4.                                      No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

5.                                      NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE FOR ADDITIONAL GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES

 











 

OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

 

6.                                      Counterparts.  The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

 

7.                                      Effect of Headings.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

8.                                      The Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Company.

 

9.                                      Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees Part of Indenture.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.  This Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall by bound hereby.
