     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements and undertakings hereafter made, the Parties hereto have agreed as follows:



SECTION 1. SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE INTERESTS




     1.1 Agreement of the Seller. The Seller, in reliance upon the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of the Buyer set forth herein and in consideration for the
payment of the Purchase Price, hereby agrees to sell, transfer, assign and deliver the Membership
Interest to the Buyer at the Closing, free and clear of all Encumbrances, upon and subject to the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.



 









 





     1.2 Agreement of the Buyer. The Buyer, in reliance upon the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller set forth herein, and upon and subject to the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, hereby agrees to purchase the Membership
Interest at the Closing for the Purchase Price.



SECTION 2. THE CLOSING




     2.1 Time and Place. The Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(the “Closing”) shall take place contemporaneously with the closing of the transaction
contemplated by the RRP Purchase Agreement at the offices of Locke Liddell & Sapp LLP in Houston,
Texas, on (i) the last business day of the month in which all conditions to the Closing are
satisfied (or, with respect to any condition not satisfied, waived) in accordance with this
Agreement, or (ii) at such other date, time, means or place as the Parties may agree in writing.



     2.2 Purchase Price.




     (a) The aggregate purchase price for the Membership Interest (the “Purchase
Price”) shall equal the sum of TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($205,000,000). At
the Closing, the Buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, shall pay to the
Seller the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Seller no later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing.




     (b) At Closing, the Buyer and Seller will acknowledge and approve a comprehensive funds

not limited to (i) amounts due to the Dynegy Parties as contemplated by Section

     (a) Within five (5) Business Days following the completion and issuance of the Audited
2005 Balance Sheet, Seller shall prepare a written calculation of Actual Working Capital
(the “Working Capital Statement”) and shall deliver such Working Capital Statement

Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to 50% of the difference between
$262,000,000 and Actual Working Capital (the “Deficiency Amount”). If the Actual
Working Capital is determined to be $262,000,000 or more, there shall be no adjustment to
the Purchase Price.




     (b) If the Closing shall have not yet occurred as of the date of delivery of the
Working Capital Statement to Buyer, the Deficiency Amount shall be deducted from the
Purchase Price otherwise payable to Seller at Closing as set forth in Section 2.2.
If the



2









 






Closing already shall have occurred as of such delivery date, the Deficiency Amount
shall be paid by Seller to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five
Business Days following the delivery of the Working Capital Statement to Buyer.

     (a) The Buyer and the Seller agree that in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1
CB 432, the purchase of the Membership Interests shall be treated as a purchase by Buyer of
an undivided 50% interest in each of the assets of WCP Holdings and its subsidiaries. Buyer
will determine a Purchase Price and a final allocation of that price among the assets of WCP
Holdings and its subsidiaries pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and related Treasury Regulations (the “Final Allocation”). Buyer shall
provide such final allocation in writing to Seller within 30 days after the Closing Date.
The Seller shall, in good faith, have the right to object to the Final Allocation and any
such objection shall be delivered to the Buyer in writing no more than 30 days after the
Final Allocation is delivered to the Seller. If the Seller objects, the Seller and the
Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the objection. If the Seller and the Buyer
cannot resolve such objection within 30 days, the objection shall be referred to Deloitte &
Touche LLP (or if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve, another nationally recognized
accounting firm mutually agreed on by the Buyer and the Seller for prompt resolution.) The
decision of such accounting firm shall be binding on the Buyer and the Seller. The Final
Allocation shall be amended to reflect the decision of



5









 






such accounting firm or the results of any such negotiations. The cost and fees
incurred from the services provided by such accounting firm will be split equally between
Buyer and Seller.




     (b) The Seller and the Buyer (i) shall be bound by the Final Allocation for purposes of
determining any and all consequences with respect to federal, state and local taxes of the
transactions contemplated herein (ii) shall prepare and file all tax returns to be filed
with any taxing authority in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation and (iii) shall
take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation in any tax return, in any discussion
with or proceeding before any taxing authority, or otherwise. In the event that the Final
Allocation is disputed by any taxing authority and in the event that the applicable statute
of limitations has not expired with respect to either the Seller or the Buyer, the Party
receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Party
hereto concerning resolution of such dispute, and no such dispute shall be finally settled
or compromised without the mutual consent of the Seller and the Buyer, as applicable, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

on Schedule 3.11 has been attached to or against any Project with respect to Taxes.




     (d) Seller has withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority
all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid over in connection with amounts remitted

connection with performance of their obligations under the Energy Management Agreements or
Administrative Services Agreement), or WCP Holdings, WCP or a Project Company relating to

be, utilizing the interim closing the books method with the closing period ending on the date of
Closing and such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and expenses shall be made to the

     5.5 Specified Obligations and Counterparty Releases.




     (a) Schedule 5.5(a) attached hereto (as the same may be updated at Closing in
accordance with Section 5.5(g) below) sets forth a list of contracts, letters of
credit, guarantees and other obligations entered into by a Dynegy Party pursuant to the
Energy Management Agreements or for which a Dynegy Party (whether individually or as a
disclosed or undisclosed agent for WCP or any Project Company) is the account party or
responsible party and which contracts, letters of credit, guarantees and other obligations
of such Dynegy Party relate to or were incurred for the benefit of WCP Holdings, WCP and the
Project Companies (the “Specified Obligations”).




     (b) From and after the date of this Agreement, Dynegy, Seller, Buyer and NRG shall use
commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the payment of fees or the
acceptance of materially adverse changes to such Specified Obligations) and



13









 




shall cooperate with one another to cause the counterparties to the Specified
Obligations to release each applicable Dynegy Party, from any and all liability and
performance obligations of any kind under the Specified Obligations which accrue or arise on
or after the Closing date, such releases (the “Counterparty Releases”) to be (i)
duly executed by the applicable counterparties in writing and in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Dynegy, and (ii) with respect to release instruments delivered by
any counterparty prior to Closing, contingent and conditioned upon the occurrence of the
Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Dynegy shall cause each
applicable Dynegy Party and NRG shall cause each applicable NRG Party to execute and deliver
such assignment and assumption agreements, novations or other assignment instruments as may
be necessary to reflect the assignment of each Specified Obligation to, and the assumption
of each Specified Obligation by, Buyer, NRG or its designated Affiliate, each such agreement
to be in writing and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Dynegy.




     (c) To the extent necessary to obtain any such Counterparty Release, Buyer or NRG will
replace any cash collateral, guaranty, letter of credit or other performance assurance
securing any Dynegy Party’s obligations under any such Specified Obligation including, with
respect to any letter of credit for which a Dynegy Party is the account party or otherwise
obligated to reimburse the issuer thereof, posting cash collateral to the holder thereof if
necessary to obtain a release of such letter of credit. With respect to any Specified
Obligations that are in the form of a letter of credit, Buyer and NRG agree and acknowledge
that, after the Effective Date, the applicable Dynegy Party may cause any such letter of
credit to be replaced with cash collateral and in such event such Dynegy Party shall be
reimbursed by WCP or the applicable Project Company. NRG and Buyer acknowledge
that the amount of any cash collateral, guaranty, letter of credit or other performance
assurance posted by a Dynegy Party with the counterparty or beneficiary of any Specified
Obligation may reflect netting of the exposure of the applicable counterparty to a Dynegy
Party under any such Specified Obligation against such Dynegy Party’s exposure to the
applicable counterparty under transactions unrelated to WCP Holdings, WCP, the Project
Companies or Projects and that, as a consequence thereof, the amount of any cash collateral,
guaranty, letter of credit or other performance assurance required to be posted by NRG or
any Project Company to obtain a Counterparty Release may exceed the amount currently posted
by the applicable Dynegy Party or may require performance assurance to be posted by NRG or
any Project Company even though the Dynegy Party has not had to do so because of netting.



     (d) If Seller has not received a Counterparty Release for each Specified Obligation on
or before Closing as provided above, then at Closing Buyer, NRG and its designated Affiliate
shall, with respect to each such unreleased Specified Obligation, execute the Agency
Services Agreement in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, pursuant to which, upon
and after Closing NRG and such designated Affiliate shall (i) fully and timely perform all
of the applicable Dynegy Party’s obligations under such unreleased Specified Obligation as
such Dynegy Party’s agent and designee, (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
applicable Dynegy Party from any and all claims and liabilities arising on or after the
Closing Date under such unreleased Specified Obligation, (iii) indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the applicable Dynegy Party from



14









 






fifty percent (50%) of any and all claims and liabilities arising prior to the Closing
Date under such unreleased Specified Obligation, and (iv) be entitled to all of the revenue
and benefits arising from such unreleased Specified Obligation, all as more particularly set
forth in said Agency Services Agreement. Nothing in clause (iii) above, however, shall be
construed to release DMT or DPM from any third party indemnification obligations they may
have under the Energy Management Agreements.




     (e) To the extent a Dynegy Party has directly posted its own cash deposit or cash
collateral with a counterparty to a Specified Obligation and such cash deposit or cash
collateral has not been previously reimbursed to such Dynegy Party or replaced by Buyer, NRG
or its designated Affiliate pursuant to this Section 5.5, at Closing (i) Buyer shall
pay to Seller the aggregate amount of any such cash deposit or cash collateral (inclusive of
any interest earned thereon if applicable), less any portion thereof actually paid to such
counterparty (or reimbursed to such Dynegy Party) by Buyer, NRG or its designated Affiliate
and (ii) upon Seller’s receipt of the amount(s) described in clause (i) above, Dynegy shall
deliver to Buyer or Buyer’s designated Affiliate an assignment of all of such Dynegy Party’s
rights in and to such cash deposit or cash collateral (inclusive of any interest earned
thereon if applicable) and an instruction letter to the applicable Counterparty notifying
such counterparty of such assignment and irrevocably instructing such counterparty that any
return of any such cash deposit or cash collateral shall be made to Buyer, NRG or its
designee and not the Dynegy Party.




     (f) Any security posted to Seller or Dynegy by a third party pursuant to any contract
or arrangement with WCP or any of its subsidiaries, including but not limited to the items
listed on Schedule 5.5(f), shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing.




     (g) At Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer a revised Schedule 5.5(a) which
shall update the list of Specified Obligations as of the Closing Date to reflect (i) the
deletion of those Specified Obligations originally included as of the Effective Date for
with a Counterparty Release has been obtained prior to Closing, and (ii) the inclusion of
additional Specified Obligations, if any, incurred since the Effective Date pursuant to the
Energy Management Agreements. All rights and obligations of Buyer and NRG at and after
Closing with respect to Specified Obligations as set forth in this Agreement shall apply to
each Specified Obligation set forth on the revised Schedule 5.5(a) to be provided to
Buyer at Closing pursuant to this Section 5.5(g), and such revised schedule shall be
attached as Exhibit A to the Agency Services Agreement to be executed at Closing.



     5.6 Conduct of Business Pending Closing. Prior to the Closing, except as contemplated
by this Agreement, as required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of Buyer (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld), Dynegy and Seller shall (i) cause DPM, DMT and DPMS to
operate in accordance with its and their respective obligations under the Energy Management
Agreements and Administrative Services Agreement, and (ii) cause their respective employees, acting
on behalf of WCP Holdings, WCP, any Project Company or otherwise, to:



15









 






     (a) not cancel or take any action that would result in the cancellation of any
insurance coverage maintained by DPMS under the Administrative Services Agreement for the
benefit of the Project Companies or the Projects;




     (b) not modify or amend in any material respect any Specified Obligation;

than as required by changes in U.S. GAAP;




     (d) not make, change or revoke any Tax election in respect of WCP Holdings, WCP or any
Project Company, or settle or compromise any Tax liability relating to WCP Holdings, WCP or
any Project Company in excess of $100,000, in each case that would reasonably be likely to
affect the Tax liability of WCP Holdings, WCP or any Project Company;




     (e) not enter into any joint venture, partnership or similar agreement with respect to
WCP Holdings, WCP or any Project Company;




     (f) make distributions from WCP Holdings to its members in an aggregate amount of
$1,500,000 for the month of December 2005, and not to make any distributions of any kind
after December 31, 2005;




     (g) not enter into, without the prior consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), any fuel supply or power sales contract or other obligation which could
reasonably be expected to survive the Closing if entered into in the name of any Project
Company or, if not entered into in the name of the Project Company, to result in the same
being or becoming a Continuing Obligation (as defined in the Agency Services Agreement); or




     (h) Agree to do any of the foregoing.



     5.7 Preservation of Books and Records. The Parties agree that each of them shall
preserve and keep the records held by them relating to WCP Holdings, WCP, the Project Companies or
the Projects for the longer of (i) four years following the Closing Date and (ii) such longer
period as required under applicable Law, and shall make such records and personnel available to the
other as may be reasonably required by such Party in connection with, among other things, any
insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings against or governmental investigations of a Party or in
order to enable a Party to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each
other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event a Party
wishes to destroy such records within four years after the Closing Date, such Party shall first
give 90 days’ prior written notice to the other, and such other Party shall have the right at its
option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such Party within that 90-day period, to
take possession of the records.



     5.8 Employment Matters. Neither Buyer, WCP Holdings or the Project companies shall be
responsible for any severance associated with termination of any Seller or Dynegy’s employees
acting as agent for WCP Holdings or its subsidiaries.



16









 





     5.9 Insurance. Dynegy currently maintains property insurance for WCP and the project
Companies under a blanket policy that includes other Dynegy assets. Upon closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement Dynegy’s obligation to provide such property insurance
will cease, however, Buyer, NRG and its Affiliates will not be responsible for any termination fees
or costs assessed by the applicable carrier in connection with the termination of such property
insurance coverage, it being acknowledged and agreed that any return premium received in connection
therewith will be shared equally between Seller and Buyer.



     5.10 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; No Inconsistent Action. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts, unless a different standard of conduct is expressly provided in
this Agreement with respect to any action or matter, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions,
and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all
things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious
manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including taking all acts
necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable. No Party
will take any action inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement or that could hinder or
delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that nothing in
this Section 5.10 shall limit the rights of either Party to terminate this Agreement if
permitted under Section 7.



     5.11 Cooperation in Connection with 2005 Audited Financial Statements. Seller shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide appropriate assistance and
information to the applicable independent auditors in connection with the preparation of the
audited consolidated financial statements of WCP and the Project Companies as of December 31, 2005
(collectively, the “2005 Audited Financials”), and the issuance of the related auditor’s
report thereon, with a view towards the Form 10-K reporting requirements applicable to Dynegy and
NRG, respectively, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with an opportunity to

shall provide a final bill for services rendered to WCP at the Closing.



     6.3 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligation to Close. Seller’s obligation to sell

     (a) The representations and warranties of the Buyer and NRG set forth in this Agreement
will be, if qualified by materiality, true and correct in all respects, and if not so

warranties speak as of an earlier date).

Buyer and NRG pursuant to this Agreement prior to or as of the Closing Date will have been
duly performed and complied with in all material respects.

SECTION 7. TERMINATION




     7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated
hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:




     (a) by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;




     (b) by Buyer if any of the conditions in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2,
other than Section 6.2(e), shall have become incapable of fulfillment by May 1, 2006
(the “First Outside Date”), or, in the case of the condition contained in
Section 6.2(e), the transactions contemplated by the Texas Genco Agreement shall not
have been consummated or otherwise terminated by September 30, 2006 (the “Second Outside
Date”), and such conditions shall not have been waived in writing by the Buyer;




     (c) by Seller (i) if any of the conditions in Section 6.1 or Section
6.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment by the First Outside Date and shall not
have been waived in writing by Seller, or (ii) at any time after the First Outside Date;




     (d) by Buyer 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 restraining, enjoining
or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this



19









 






Agreement and such order, decree or injunction or other action shall have been final
and non-appealable;


provided, however, that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if such 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, covenant or 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 Agreement shall forthwith terminate
and shall become null and void and of no further effect, and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be abandoned without further action by Buyer or Seller. If this Agreement is
terminated under Section 7.1 of this Agreement:




     (a) Each Party shall redeliver all documents, work papers and other materials of the
other Party relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether obtained
before or after the execution of this Agreement, to the Party furnishing the same;




     (b) All filings, applications and other submissions made pursuant hereto shall, to the
extent practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other Person to which made;




     (c) There shall be no liability or obligation under this Agreement on the part of Buyer
or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees,
agents or representatives, except (i) that Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may have
liability to the other Party if the basis of termination is a willful, material breach by
Buyer or Seller, as the case may 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.



SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION




     8.1 Seller’s Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Closing, the Seller and
Dynegy agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless NRG, Buyer and its
subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates,
employees, successors and assigns (the collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from
and against and reimburse 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 in any arbitration, mediation,
litigation and on any appeal) (collectively referred to as “Losses”) suffered or incurred
by and all claims, actions, suits, or demands made against a Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of
or relating to:




     (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller or Dynegy contained in
this Agreement (including any of the related Disclosure Schedules thereto)



20









 






or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Seller at the Closing (but
excluding any Ancillary Agreement); and




     (b) any failure to perform any covenant of the Seller or Dynegy contained in this
Agreement (but excluding any Ancillary Agreement).



     8.2 Buyer’s Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Closing, Buyer and NRG
agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, Dynegy 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) or in any certificate
delivered by or on behalf of the Buyer or NRG at the Closing (but excluding any Ancillary
Agreement); and




     (b) any failure to perform any covenants of the Buyer or NRG contained in this
Agreement (but excluding 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 NRG 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 time, whether prior to or after
the closing, relating in any way to WCP Holdings, WCP, any Project Company or Project or any of
their respective assets or Business Facilities (including without limitation the ownership,
operation or use of any of the Business 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 WCP Holdings, WCP, any of the
Project Companies or the Projects or for which WCP Holdings, WCP or any of the Project
Companies 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 WCP Holdings, WCP, any Project Companies or



21









 






Projects and any release or threatened release at any time with respect to Materials of
Environmental Concern.



       The obligations of the Buyer and NRG hereunder are not contingent upon the assertion of a
claim, directive, action or proceeding by a Governmental Authority or third party. Buyer and NRG
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 and claims asserted with respect to the representations and
warranties contained in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters) which claims may be made at any time
before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All other covenants and agreements
of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely.



     8.6 Limitations on Liability. 




     (a) Except with respect to the obligations of the parties pursuant to the Litigation
Agreement, in no event shall Seller or Dynegy (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) Except with respect to the obligations of the parties pursuant to the Litigation
Agreement, in no event shall Buyer or NRG (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 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 or the Litigation 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 indemnifying
Party (“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



22









 






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
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) Except claims made pursuant to the Litigation Agreement for which there shall be no
De Minimus Amount, 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 Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000) (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, Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (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.




     (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:




     (i) An Indemnified Party shall have no right against an Indemnitor with respect
to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant if, at the time of Closing,
the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of any such breach of representation, warranty
or covenant. In the event any Indemnitor raises the exclusion set forth in the
previous sentence as an affirmative defense to a claim for indemnification by an
Indemnified Party with respect to any such breach, and such defense is not
successful, the Indemnitor shall promptly pay the Indemnified Party the reasonable
out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and other disbursements directly incurred by such
Indemnified Party to overcome such defense.



23









 






     (ii) It shall not be considered a breach of the representations or warranties
set forth in Section 3.11 to the extent that any such breach occurred as a
result of any inaccuracy of or omission in information provided to Seller or its
Affiliates, or failure to provide information, by Buyer, NRG or any of their
respective Affiliates for use in the preparation of the Tax Returns.




     (iii) It shall not be considered a breach of the representations or warranties
set forth in Section 3.12 to the extent that such breach occurred as a
result of any inaccuracy of or omission in information provided to Seller or its
Affiliates, or failure to provide information, by Buyer, NRG or any of their
respective Affiliates for use in the preparation of the Financial Statements.



     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.




     (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.



24









 






     (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
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



25









 






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.



     8.8 Exclusive Remedy. A Party’s right to indemnification provided in this Section
8 or in the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, 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 Ancillary
Agreements (as applicable) or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; 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, (ii) in
the event of fraud by a Party or (iii) to enforce the rights and obligations set forth in the
Ancillary Agreements. 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

its attorneys, accountants and experts.

specifically referenced herein, attached hereto or executed and delivered concurrently herewith

the Parties. This Agreement may not be supplemented, modified or amended except by a written
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.

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 relative to the terms hereof to any third party without the prior consent of the other,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

and power marketing for the Projects to be reasonably available to NRG personnel and to communicate
with NRG personnel regarding their past fuel management and power marketing experiences.

ARTICLE IV

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION




     Section 4.1 Event of Default. Should any of the following events or conditions occur, the
same shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (herein called an “Event of
Default”):



          (A) NRG, NRG West Coast, any Project Company or either Provider breaches any of its material
obligations under this Agreement.




          (B) If any representation or warranty of NRG, NRG West Coast any Project Company or either

(hereinafter the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give such Party in default (the
“Defaulting Party”) a written notice describing such default in reasonable detail and
demanding that the Defaulting Party cure such default. If the Defaulting Party does not cure its
default within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, or if the default is such that it
cannot be cured within such period of time and the Defaulting Party does not promptly commence
action within such ten (10) day period which is calculated to cure such default within twenty (20)
days and thereafter diligently pursue such action to completion, the Non-Defaulting Party shall
have the right, in addition to remedies it has at law or in equity (but subject to the limitations
set forth in this Agreement), to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Defaulting
Party, without prejudice to any remedies at law or in equity (but subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement) which are available to the Non-Defaulting Party by reason of the
Defaulting Party’s default. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, a good faith dispute with
respect to the payment of any amount claimed under Article V to be due hereunder, for so long as
such dispute remains unresolved and contested in good faith, shall not be considered an Event of
Default.



     Section 4.3 Survival of Obligations. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any
reason shall not relieve the Providers or NRG, NRG West Coast or the Project Companies of any
obligations accrued or accruing prior to such expiration or termination. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Providers, NRG, NRG West Coast and the Project Companies shall
continue to be bound by Sections 3.6, Article VII, Sections 8.1 and
8.3, and Article IX with such provisions surviving the expiration or termination of
this Agreement.



ARTICLE V

FEES

cause the Project Companies to pay) any amount due in full as and when due, interest shall accrue
on such unpaid amount at the Interest Rate from the date that payment was due until the date the
payment is received. If, during the Term, any state, provincial, local or federal authority shall
impose a tax on the Services rendered by the Providers hereunder, NRG or NRG West Coast agrees to
pay (or cause the Project Companies to pay) or, if requested by the Providers, remit to the
Providers so that the Providers may pay, the amount of such tax imposed on the Services rendered by

DAMAGES AND INDEMNIFICATION




     Section 7.1 Indemnification by NRG, NRG West Coast and the Project Companies. NRG, NRG West
Coast and the Project Companies agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Providers and the Provider’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives
(collectively, the “Provider Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages,
liabilities, penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees), actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect to any claim
by a third party arising out of or relating to Provider’s provision of the Services pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that neither NRG, NRG West Coast nor the Project Companies shall
be required to indemnify any Provider Indemnified Party for any such claims resulting directly from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Provider Indemnified Party.



     Section 7.2 Indemnification by Provider. Dynegy, DPM and DMT agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless NRG, NRG West Coast and each Project Company and their
respective Representatives (collectively, the “NRG Indemnified Parties”) from and against
any and all damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees), actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect
to any claim by a third party to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Provider and relating to Provider’s provision of the Services pursuant to this
Agreement.



     Section 7.3 Limitations.



     (a) No indemnifying Party 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 indemnifying Party of duplicative, in whole or in part,
indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party.



     (b) Any amount for which indemnification is provided by an indemnifying Party
(“Indemnitor”) under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (a “Loss”) shall be
net of (1) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss 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 Loss (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 Loss. If the amount to be netted is determined
after payment by the Indemnitor of any amount, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnitor,



7









 




promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnitor would not have had to pay
pursuant to this Section 7.5 had such determination been made at the time of payment.




     Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures.



     (a) 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 Section
7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable with written notice of all third party actions,
suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments that may be subject to the indemnification
provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable (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 amounts or relief claimed by the third party and copies of any
pleadings or demands from the third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide
such notice reasonably promptly shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under
Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, 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 Section
7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable.



     (b) 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 Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, 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.



     (c) 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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



8









 







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.



     (d) If the potential Indemnitor does not provide the notice described in Section
7.4(b) 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 7.4(c) within the 30-day period required thereby, the potential
Indemnified Party shall 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.



     Section 7.5 Expiration of Claim and Release. Except for claims for indemnification under
Sections 7.1 and 7.2 and claims for payment for Services (collectively the
“Excluded Claims”), all claims for damages pursuant to this Agreement brought by any Party
against any other Party, must be brought within ninety (90) days, but not less than the shortest
period permissible under Applicable Law, after the expiration or termination of this Agreement (the
“Limitation Period”). Effective upon the expiration of the Limitation Period, each Party
on its own behalf, on behalf of its Representatives, (the “Releasing Party”) releases,
waives and forever discharges the other Party, (the “Released Party”) and such Party’s
Representatives, from any and all manners of actions, causes of action, suits, debts, sums of
money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, invoices, covenants, contracts, controversies,
judgments, obligations, agreements, promises, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, interest,
warranties, representations, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, which the
Releasing Party or anyone claiming by, through or under it ever had or may in the future have
against Released Party by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever relating to this
Agreement, other than with respect to the Excluded Claims. The Parties understand and acknowledge
that the facts in respect of which the release contained in this Section 7.5 is made may be
other than or different from the facts now believed by such party to be true. The Parties accept
and assume the risk that said facts, or any of them, may be different from the facts now believed
by such party to be true. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement will remain in
effect as fully, completely and legally binding, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any
additional or different facts.



     Section 7.6 Ca. Civ. Code Section 1542 Waiver. The Parties hereby acknowledge that there is a
risk that, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, they may discover, incur or suffer from
claims which were unknown or unanticipated at the time this Agreement was executed, including
unknown or unanticipated claims which arise from, are based upon or are related to the issues and
matters addressed herein which, if known on the date this Agreement was executed, may have
materially affected their decision to execute this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that they
are assuming the risk of such unanticipated claims and agree that this



9









 







Agreement applies thereto. The Parties expressly waive the benefits of Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code, which provides:




A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor.


Effective upon effectiveness of the terms of this Agreement, the Parties waive and relinquish all
rights and benefits which they have or may have under Section 1542 or the law of any other state or
jurisdiction to the same or similar effect.




ARTICLE VIII

RELATIONSHIP, FORCE MAJEURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY




     Section 8.1 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties agree that the Providers are providing
the Services to NRG, NRG West Coast and the Project Companies as independent contractors. This
Agreement is not intended to and shall not be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership,
agency or other association.



     Section 8.2 Force Majeure. The Providers shall not be liable to NRG, NRG West Coast or the
Project Companies or be in default under this Agreement if any failure or delay by the Providers in

accidents, labor disputes (whether or not such disputes are within the power of the Party to
settle), shortages, governmental laws, ordinances, rules or regulations (whether valid or invalid),
inability to obtain power, materials, equipment or transportation, or the acts or omissions of NRG,
NRG West Coast or any Project Company or any Person under their direction or control and any other
similar contingency (a “Force Majeure Event”) Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event
affecting a Provider, such Provider will be excused from any further performance of any obligation
so affected for so long as such circumstances prevail and a reasonable period of time thereafter.
If a Provider is affected by a Force Majeure Event such Provider will give notice to NRG, NRG West
Coast and the Project Companies as promptly as practicable of: (i) the nature and probable duration
of the Force Majeure Event, and (ii) upon the termination of such Force Majeure Event.



Section 8.3 Confidentiality.




          (A) Each Party agrees to hold in confidence, and to cause its Representatives to hold in
confidence, in the same manner that such Party keeps its own confidential information of a similar
nature, or with reasonable care, whichever standard is higher, any Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means any proprietary or confidential information received by a
Party, its Representatives (collectively the “Receiving Party”), from the other Party or
any of its Representatives (collectively the “Disclosing Party”) in connection with the
Services or otherwise; provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include
information that (i) is or generally becomes available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was known by, or in the possession of, the Receiving




10









 







Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iii) was or later is developed
independently by the Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information; or (iv) becomes
available to the Receiving Party from a third party not in breach of any confidentiality obligation
of the third party. In the event that the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral
question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the
Receiving Party shall notify Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the
Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions
of this Section 8.3(A). If in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver
hereunder, Receiving Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential
Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Receiving Party may disclose the
Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that Receiving Party will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to
be disclosed as Disclosing Party designates.




          (B) At the end of the Term, all Confidential Information shall be returned to the Disclosing
Party or destroyed by the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party shall provide written
confirmation of such destruction to the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that NRG, NRG West
Coast and the Project Companies shall be entitled to retain and use Confidential Information
received from Providers solely in connection with their ownership and operation of the Projects and
without disclosure to any third party competitors of Providers. The Receiving Party shall be
responsible for retrieving all Disclosed Confidential Information from its Representatives other
than those Representatives who have entered into a confidentiality agreement directly with the
Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party that is required to return
Disclosed Confidential Information under this Agreement shall be entitled to retain one copy of
such Disclosed Confidential Information to the extent that such Party deems, in its reasonable
discretion, necessary or advisable to comply with applicable laws. The Receiving Party shall be
deemed to have destroyed any Disclosed Confidential Information that is provided by the Disclosing
Party or maintained by the Receiving Party in electronic form if such information is deleted from
local hard drives so long as no attempt is made to recover such information from servers or back up
sources.




          (C) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the terms of
this Section 8.3, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable
relief, without the posting of a bond if permitted by law, and the Receiving Party shall not plead
in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law. Any such relief shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, money damages or any other legal or equitable remedy available to
the Disclosing Party.

W I T N E S S E T H:

to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent is hereby appointed by
the Dynegy Parties to act as their duly appointed and recognized representative to provide and
perform, and Agent hereby agrees to provide and perform, on behalf and in the name of each
applicable Dynegy Party, all of the Dynegy Parties’ obligations and responsibilities under the
Continuing Obligations in accordance with their respective terms and conditions (collectively, the
“Services”). The Dynegy Parties hereby authorize Agent to take those actions Agent may
reasonably deem necessary in the name of the Dynegy Parties in



2









 




connection with the performance and administration of the Continuing Obligations including,
but not limited to, terminating any such Continuing Obligation in accordance with the standards set
forth in Section 3.3 hereof.




     Section 3.2 Economic Benefits and Liabilities. From and after the Effective Date, the Dynegy
Parties and Agent agree to take such actions, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, as may be
necessary to permit Agent to receive the economic benefits and assume the liabilities under the
Continuing Obligations without committing a breach of the terms thereof.



     Section 3.3 Standard of Performance. Agent shall perform the Services in good faith, in a
good and workmanlike manner, with due diligence and dispatch, and in full compliance with
applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Continuing Obligations. Agent shall not extend,

consent of the applicable Dynegy Party thereto.



     Section 3.4 Cooperation.



          (A) Each Dynegy Party agrees to: (a) provide Agent with all reasonable assistance, cooperation
and documentation that may be reasonably requested by Agent in the performance of the Services; (b)
refrain from interfering with Agent’s performance of the Services and consult with Agent prior to
taking any action which could be reasonably foreseen as conflicting with Agent’s performance
hereunder; and (c) to the extent necessary to enable Agent to perform its obligations hereunder,
notify the Obligation Counterparties of Agent’s status and authorization hereunder; and (d)
maintain all governmental approvals required to be maintained by any Dynegy Party under any
Continuing Obligation and to the extent necessary for Agent’s performance of the Services. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Dynegy Parties further agree to provide any and all documentation that
may be reasonably requested by Agent to confirm to any Obligation Counterparty the power and
authority of Agent to act in the name, place and stead of the Dynegy Parties with respect to (i)
cashing checks, receiving wire transfers or otherwise accepting payments from Obligation

agrees to provide or make available to Agent (or their Representatives) all books and records
relating to the performance of the Services by Agent, including, but not limited to, any and all
communications and correspondence to or from any Obligation Counterparty with respect to any
Continuing Obligation.




     Section 3.5 Performance Assurance and Back-up Cash Collateral. Agent’s obligation to perform
the Dynegy Party’s obligations under the Continuing Obligations includes the obligation to post
performance assurance to the Obligation Counterparties. In the event the amount required to be
posted and actually posted by Agent on a Dynegy Party’s behalf to any Obligation Counterparty
reflects the benefit of netting against the exposure of such Obligation Counterparty to a Dynegy
Party with respect to transactions unrelated to WCP, the Project Companies or Projects, then Agent
shall also post cash collateral to the applicable Dynegy Party in an amount equal to the difference
between the total amount that would be required to be posted to such Obligation Counterparty in the
absence of netting and the lesser amount actually posted by Agent to the Obligation Counterparty as
a result of the netting benefit. In the event no amount is required to be posted by Agent on a
Dynegy Party’s behalf to any Obligation Counterparty as a result of the benefit of netting as
described above, then Agent shall post cash collateral to the applicable Dynegy Party in an amount
equal to the total amount that would be required to be posted to such Obligation Counterparty in
the absence of netting. If the amount required to be posted on a Dynegy Party’s behalf to any
Obligation Counterparty is greater than the amount that would be required to be posted to such
Obligation Counterparty in the absence of netting, the Dynegy Party shall be responsible for
posting any such excess amount (and Agent agrees to promptly return any such excess amount posted
by the Dynegy Party in the event any such excess amount is returned by the Obligation Counterparty
to Agent and not to the Dynegy Party). Further, in the event any Obligation Counterparty refuses
to release any Dynegy Party credit support notwithstanding the tender of cash collateral, a letter
of credit or other non-cash performance assurance from Agent as contemplated above or for any
reason, then Agent shall also provide to the applicable Dynegy Party on the Effective Date cash
collateral in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount that would be required to
be posted in the absence of netting (such amount and/or any cash collateral amounts required to be
posted to the Dynegy Party in accordance with this Section 3.5, being herein referred to as
the “Back-Up Cash Collateral”). Until such time as the Continuing Obligation has been
fully performed and discharged or a Counterparty Release has been provided by the applicable
counterparty to the Dynegy Party and any and all non-cash credit support provided by the Dynegy

such Continuing Obligation.



ARTICLE IV

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION




     Section 4.1 Event of Default. Should any of the following events or conditions occur, the
same shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (herein called an “Event of
Default”):



4









 





          (A) A Dynegy Party or Agent breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement.




          (B) If any representation or warranty of Dynegy or Agent set forth in Article VI hereof shall
prove untrue in any material respect.




     Section 4.2 Termination Upon Breach. If a Party commits an Event of Default, the other Party
(hereinafter the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give such Party in default (the
“Defaulting Party”) a written notice describing such default in reasonable detail and
demanding that the Defaulting Party cure such default. If the Defaulting Party does not cure its
default within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, or if the default is such that it
cannot be cured within such period of time and the Defaulting Party does not promptly commence
action within such ten (10) day period which is calculated to cure such default within twenty (20)
days and thereafter diligently pursue such action to completion, the Non-Defaulting Party shall
have the right, in addition to remedies it has at law or in equity (but subject to the limitations
set forth in this Agreement), to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Defaulting
Party, without prejudice to any remedies at law or in equity (but subject to the limitations set
forth in this Agreement) which are available to the Non-Defaulting Party by reason of the
Defaulting Party’s default.



ARTICLE V

FEES




     Section 5.1 Compensation. In consideration of Agent’s performance of the Services, Agent
shall be entitled to all proceeds recovered by either Agent or the Dynegy Party arising out of the
Continuing Obligations. The Dynegy Parties expressly recognize that Agent may generate, and shall
be solely entitled to, profits or losses that may arise out of all activities performed by Agent
under this Agreement after the Effective Date, including those arising out of Agent acting as the
Dynegy Parties’ representative hereunder.



ARTICLE VI

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION




     Section 7.1 Indemnification by Agent. Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Dynegy Parties and the Dynegy Parties’ Affiliates and their respective Representatives
(collectively, the “Dynegy Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages,
liabilities, penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees), actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect to any claim
by a third party arising out of or relating to Agent’s provision of the Services pursuant to this
Agreement or any Event of Default hereunder by Agent and for fifty percent (50%) of any third party
claims arising prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Continuing Obligation; provided,
however, that Agent shall not be required to indemnify any Dynegy Indemnified Party for any such
claims resulting directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Dynegy
Indemnified Party.



     Section 7.2 Indemnification by Dynegy Parties. Dynegy Parties agree, jointly and severally,
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent and their respective Representatives (collectively,
the “Agent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, liabilities,
penalties, fines, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal
fees), actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments with respect to any claim by a third party
to the extent arising out of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Dynegy Parties and
relating to Agent’s provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any acts or
omissions of any Dynegy Party that prevent Agent from performing the Services and Agent’s other
obligations hereunder.



     Section 7.3 Limitations.



     (a) No indemnifying Party 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



6









 




such damages, lost profits or similar items to such third parties. Nothing in this Agreement
is intended to require the payment by the indemnifying Party of duplicative, in whole or in part,
indemnity payments to an Indemnified Party.




     (b) Any amount for which indemnification is provided by an indemnifying Party
(“Indemnitor”) under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (a “Loss”) shall be
net of (1) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Loss 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 Loss (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 Loss. 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 7.4 had such determination been made at the time of payment.



     Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures.



     (a) 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 Section
7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable with written notice of all third party actions,
suits, proceedings, claims, demands or assessments that may be subject to the indemnification
provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable (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 amounts or relief claimed by the third party and copies of any
pleadings or demands from the third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide
such notice reasonably promptly shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under
Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, 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 Section
7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable.



     (b) 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 Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as applicable, 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.



     (c) 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,



7









 




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 (i) 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 (ii) 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.




     (d) If the potential Indemnitor does not provide the notice described in Section
7.4(b) 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 7.4(c) within the 30-day period required thereby, the potential
Indemnified Party shall 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.



ARTICLE VIII

RELATIONSHIP AND CONFIDENTIALITY




     Section 8.1 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties agree that Agent is providing the
Services to the Dynegy Parties as an independent contractor. This Agreement is not intended to and
shall not be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, agency or other association or
relationship.



     Section 8.2 Confidentiality.



          (A) Each Party agrees to hold in confidence, and to cause its Representatives to hold in
confidence, in the same manner that such Party keeps its own confidential information of a similar
nature, or with reasonable care, whichever standard is higher, any Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means any proprietary or confidential information received by a
Party, its Representatives (collectively the “Receiving Party”), from the other Party




8









 







or any of its Representatives (collectively the “Disclosing Party”) in connection with
the Services or otherwise; provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include
information that (i) is or generally becomes available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was known by, or in the possession of, the Receiving
Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iii) was or later is developed
independently by the Receiving Party without use of Confidential Information; or (iv) becomes
available to the Receiving Party from a third party not in breach of any confidentiality obligation
of the third party. In the event that the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral
question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the
Receiving Party shall notify Disclosing Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the
Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions
of this Section 8.2(A). If in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver
hereunder, Receiving Party is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential
Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Receiving Party may disclose the
Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that Receiving Party will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of Disclosing Party, an order or other assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to
be disclosed as Disclosing Party designates.




          (B) At the end of the Term, all Confidential Information shall be returned to the Disclosing
Party or destroyed by the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party shall provide written
confirmation of such destruction to the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall be responsible
for retrieving all Disclosed Confidential Information from its Representatives other than those
Representatives who have entered into a confidentiality agreement directly with the Disclosing
Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party that is required to return Disclosed
Confidential Information under this Agreement shall be entitled to retain one copy of such
Disclosed Confidential Information to the extent that such Party deems, in its reasonable
discretion, necessary or advisable to comply with applicable laws. The Receiving Party shall be
deemed to have destroyed any Disclosed Confidential Information that is provided by the Disclosing
Party or maintained by the Receiving Party in electronic form if such information is deleted from
local hard drives so long as no attempt is made to recover such information from servers or back up
sources.




          (C) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the terms of
this Section 8.2, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable
relief, without the posting of a bond if permitted by law, and the Receiving Party shall not plead
in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law. Any such relief shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, money damages or any other legal or equitable remedy available to
the Disclosing Party.

be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Applicable Law, and if the rights
or obligations of any Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected

     WHEREAS, in connection with the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Parties hereto
hereby desire to terminate each of the WCP Related Agreements and the Other California Agreements.



 









 





     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:



     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. “Effective Date” means the date of
Closing under the Purchase Agreement.



     2. Termination of Agreements. The Parties agree that the WCP Related Agreements and
the Other California Agreements, except the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, are
terminated effective as of the Effective Date and that from and after the Effective Date, no Party
shall have any liabilities, rights, duties or obligations to the other Party under or in connection
with any of the WCP Related Agreements or the Other California Agreements; provided, however, that
termination of any WCP Related Agreement or Other California Agreements shall not release any of
the Parties thereto from (a) any obligations to indemnify the other Party against any third party
liability, to the extent such liability was accrued prior to the Effective Date or arises from any
act or omission occurring prior to the Effective Date or (b) any other obligations that expressly
survive termination by the terms of the WCP Related Agreement or Other California Agreements.
Nothing in this Section 2, however, shall be construed as an exception to, or modification
of, the Litigation Agreement, it being understood that the Litigation Agreement shall govern and
control with respect to the subject matter thereof.



     3. Ca. Civ. Code Section 1542 Waiver. The Parties hereby acknowledge that there is a
risk that, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, they may discover, incur or suffer from
claims which were unknown or unanticipated at the time this Agreement was executed, including
unknown or unanticipated claims which arise from, are based upon or are related to the issues and
matters addressed herein which, if known on the date this Agreement was executed, may have
materially affected their decision to execute this Agreement. The Parties each acknowledge that
they are assuming the risk of such unanticipated claims and agree that this Agreement applies
thereto. The Parties expressly waive the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code,
which provides:




A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor.


Effective upon effectiveness of the terms of this Agreement, the Parties waive and relinquish all
rights and benefits which they have or may have under Section 1542 or the law of any other state or
jurisdiction to the same or similar effect.




     4. Counterparts; Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement may be executed and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and it shall not be necessary
in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. This
Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without
regard to its conflict of laws principles. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of New
York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees
that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and



-2-









 




determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or tribunal. Each of the Parties
waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding so
brought. Each Party agrees to frame any complaint brought in any such action or proceeding to
support federal court jurisdiction if grounds for federal jurisdiction exist, and further agrees
that any of the other Parties may require such Party to dismiss any state law case where a federal
court would have jurisdiction over the subject matter.




     5. Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, the word “include(s)” means “include(s),
without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.” When the
context and construction so require, all words used in the singular shall be deemed to have been
used in the plural and vice versa. All headings appearing in this Agreement are for convenience
only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement.



     6. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law. In the event of
any such determination, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to
fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted
by law, the Parties hereby waive to the same extent any provision of law that renders any provision
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.



     7. Integration; Modifications. This Agreement (a) integrates all the terms and
conditions mentioned in or incidental to this Agreement, and (b) supersedes all prior negotiations
and all prior oral or written representations, understandings, promises, commitments, and
agreements between the Parties or any of their affiliates, except the Purchase Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements, with respect to its subject matter. The Parties agree, each on behalf of
itself and its affiliates, that no representation, understanding, promise, commitment or agreement
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be enforceable against any Party or its
affiliates unless it is contained in this Agreement. No term of this Agreement may be amended,
waived, or otherwise modified except in a writing signed by both Parties.



     8. No Waiver. Failure to insist on compliance with any term or provision contained in
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that term or provision, nor shall any waiver or
relinquishment of any right or power contained in this Agreement at any one time or more times be
deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right or power at any other time or times.



     9. Further Actions. Each of the Parties agrees to take any and all actions reasonably
necessary in order to effectuate the intent, and to carry out the provisions, of this Agreement.

WCP Entities), including injunctive relief. Buyer and NRG each agree that, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law (but subject to the limitations set forth herein), they shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless, jointly and severally, each of the Dynegy Indemnified Parties
from, against and in respect of and shall reimburse the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by,
and any Proceeding against, any of the Dynegy Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from
the Power Litigation; provided, however, that (a) Dynegy shall be responsible for fifty percent
(50%) of all such amounts and (b) Buyer and NRG shall have no liability or responsibility in
respect of any non-monetary Losses suffered or incurred by any Dynegy Indemnified Party, including
injunctive relief.



     1.4 Mitigation. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any
claims and to mitigate any liabilities, losses, or expense in the same manner as it would in the
absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.



     Section 2. Defense of Litigation.



     2.1 Control of Litigation. Dynegy shall have the exclusive right to manage, direct,
and control the Gas Litigation and the Power Litigation, except to the extent NRG is a named party
to the Power Litigation in which case NRG may participate in the defense of the Power Litigation in
accordance with the terms of the Power Litigation Joint Defense Agreement. NRG shall have the
exclusive right to manage, direct, and control the CDWR Litigation; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, NRG shall not
have the authority without the express prior written consent of the Dynegy Indemnified Parties, not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to file any pleading, make any admission, accept any
finding of fact or enter into any settlement regarding the CDWR Litigation which provides that the
conduct or behavior of the Dynegy Indemnified Parties constitutes gross negligence, willful
misconduct, intentional failure to perform a duty or reckless disregard of the consequences of such
conduct or behavior.



     2.2 Lead Counsel. Dynegy shall use as lead counsel Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
LLP (and NRG acknowledges the absence and waiver of any claim of conflict of interest regarding
that law firm) or such other law firm as is reasonably acceptable to NRG with respect to each of
the Proceedings that comprise the Gas Litigation and the Power Litigation. Buyer shall use as lead
counsel Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (and Dynegy acknowledges the absence and waiver of
any claim of conflict of interest regarding that law firm) or such other law firm as is reasonably
acceptable to Dynegy with respect to each of the Proceedings that comprise the CDWR Litigation.



     2.3 Indemnified Party Counsel. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.2
herein, Dynegy acknowledges that (i) the law firm of Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP
(“SMR&H”) (Carlton Varner or such other partner as SMR&H shall designate) has been retained
by NRG to represent its interests in the Gas Litigation, (ii) Dynegy has waived any claim of
conflict of interest regarding SMR&H and such representation of NRG, and (iii) SMR&H does not
represent Dynegy in the Gas Litigation. NRG acknowledges that SMR&H is not serving or



3









 







authorized to serve as lead counsel or as co-counsel to Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
and does not represent the WCP Entities in the Gas Litigation.



     2.4 Cooperation. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.2 herein, the
Parties acknowledge that (i) the provisions of the September 2, 2003, Joint Defense Agreement (the
“Gas Litigation Joint Defense Agreement”) to which Dynegy and NRG are parties shall apply
to communications between Dynegy and NRG and their respective counsel with respect to the Gas
Litigation and (ii) the provisions of the August 21, 2003, Joint Defense Agreement (the “Power
Litigation Joint Defense Agreement”) to which Dynegy and NRG are parties shall apply to
communications between Dynegy and NRG and their respective counsel with respect to the Power
Litigation. The Parties agree to amend promptly Exhibit A to the Gas Litigation Joint Defense
Agreement to include all of the lawsuits and proceedings listed on Exhibit A to this
Agreement, Exhibit A to the Power Litigation Joint Defense Agreement to include all of the lawsuits
and proceedings listed on Exhibit D to this Agreement, and if the exception in Section
1.2(i) above becomes applicable, Dynegy and NRG will add such litigation to Exhibit A
of the Power Litigation Joint Defense Agreement. In the event of a conflict or an inconsistency
between the terms of this Agreement and any of the above-referenced Joint Defense Agreements, the
terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.



     2.5 Defense Costs. Without limiting Section 1.1 above, the defense of the
Proceedings that comprise the Gas Litigation shall be at the sole cost and expense of Dynegy, which
shall not seek, directly or indirectly, to charge back any such costs or expenses to any of the NRG
Indemnified Parties (including the WCP Entities), and Dynegy shall be solely responsible for all
legal fees and expenses of the counsel controlling the Gas Litigation. Without limiting
Section 1.2 above, the defense of the Proceedings that comprise the CDWR Litigation shall
be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer and NRG, neither of which shall seek, directly or
indirectly, to charge back any such costs or expenses to any of the Dynegy Indemnified Parties, and
Buyer shall be solely responsible for all fees and expenses of the counsel controlling the CDWR
Litigation; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the exception in Section
1.2(i) above applies to any Loss otherwise indemnified under Section 1.2, Dynegy shall
reimburse Buyer for fifty percent (50%) of any such costs, fees and expenses relating to such Loss.
As contemplated by Section 1.3 above, the cost and expense of the defense of the
Proceedings that comprise the Power Litigation shall be shared equally by the Parties.



     Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the
other Party as follows:




     (a) This Agreement in all respects has been voluntarily and knowingly executed by such
Party and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party.




     (b) Such Party has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and
perform its obligations hereunder.




     (c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party are not
prohibited by and do not violate or conflict with or require any consent or approval with
respect to (i) such Party’s organizational documents, (ii) any order, writ, injunction,
decree or judgment of any Governmental Body, (iii) any material contract or



4









 







agreement to which such Party is a party or by which it is bound, or (iv) any law, rule
or regulation applicable to such Party.




     (d) Such Party has had an opportunity to seek and has sought independent legal advice
from attorneys of its choice and other advice from such accountants and other professionals
as it deems appropriate, in each case with respect to the advisability of executing this
Agreement, and such Party has carefully read this Agreement and has made such investigation
of the facts pertaining to this Agreement as it deems necessary.



     Section 4.
Limitations and Procedures.



     4.1
Limitations on Liability.



          (a) No Indemnitor shall have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnified 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 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.




          (b) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided by an Indemnitor 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 4.1 had such determination been made at the
time of payment.




     4.2 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 4 with written notice of all third party
Proceedings that may be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
(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, the failure to provide such notice
reasonably promptly shall not release the Indemnitor from



5









 







any of its obligations under this Agreement, 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 Agreement.




     (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 4 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.




     (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 by making available to the Indemnitor
all relevant information and the testimony of employees material to the defense of
the Third Party Claim including but not limited to the assistance and participation
of Lynn Lednicky. 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 material non-monetary 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 (subject to
Section 1.3 above), 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 4.2(a)(ii) above 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



6









 







potential Indemnitor fails to provide the notice described in Section
4.2(a)(ii) within the 30-day period required thereby, the potential Indemnified
Party shall 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 4 written notice of any
claims for indemnification under this Section 4 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 4 (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.



     4.3 Exclusive Remedy. A Party’s right to indemnification provided in this Agreement
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 Gas Litigation, the CDWR Litigation or the Power
Litigation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3 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 vitiate, limit or restrict the agreement in this Section
4.3.



     Section 5. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns. Neither Party shall assign or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the other Party. Subject to the foregoing, (i) this Agreement and all the terms and provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, and (ii) each Party shall require any entity(ies) that, as a result of any



7









 







merger, purchase of assets, reorganization or other transaction, acquires or succeeds to all
or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party (or any one or more of them) to assume
expressly the obligations of such Party under this Agreement pursuant to a written assumption
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.



     Section 6. Confidentiality. The Parties intend this Agreement to be and remain
strictly confidential, with the limited exceptions set forth in this Section 6. Evidence
of this Agreement shall not be disclosed in discovery, in testimony or in evidence in any
Proceeding, except as required by law or judicial process or as necessary to enforce the terms of
this Agreement or to the extent the terms of this Agreement are no longer confidential. Each of
the Parties agrees not to disclose, publicize, or cause to be disclosed or publicized in any
manner, directly or indirectly, any of the confidential terms and conditions of this Agreement,
except (i) to its accountants, auditors, financial advisors, and attorneys, provided such persons
are informed of this confidentiality requirement; (ii) to state and federal taxing authorities;
(iii) as legally required by applicable law or judicial process or by stock exchange rules and
regulations, and in this regard each Party shall have the right to disclose the existence and
nature of this Agreement in its filings with the SEC and other regulatory authorities; or (iv) with
the prior written consent of the other Party.



     Section 7. Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, the word “include(s)” means
“include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.”
When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular shall be deemed to
have been used in the plural and vice versa. All headings appearing in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement.



     Section 8. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law. In the event
of any such determination, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to
fulfill as closely as possible the original intents and purposes hereof. To the extent permitted
by law, the Parties hereby waive to the same extent any provision of law that renders any provision
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.



     Section 9. Integration; Modifications. This Agreement, the Gas Litigation Joint
Defense Agreement and the Power Litigation Joint Defense Agreement (a) integrate all the terms and
conditions mentioned in or incidental to this Agreement, and (b) supersede all prior negotiations
and all prior oral or written representations, understandings, promises, commitments, and
agreements between the Parties or any of their affiliates with respect to the subject matter
hereof. The Parties agree, each on behalf of itself and its affiliates, that no representation,
understanding, promise, commitment or agreement relating to the subject matter hereof shall be
enforceable against any Party or its affiliates unless it is contained in this Agreement, the Gas
Litigation Joint Defense Agreement or the Power Litigation Joint Defense Agreement. No term of
this Agreement, the Gas Litigation Joint Defense Agreement or the Power Litigation Joint Defense
Agreement may be amended, waived, or otherwise modified except in a writing signed by both Parties.



8









 






     Section 10. No Waiver. Failure to insist on compliance with any term or provision
contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that term or provision, nor shall any
waiver or relinquishment of any right or power contained in this Agreement at any one time or more
times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of any right or power at any other time or times.



     Section 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to any
conflict of law principles. Each of the Parties submits to the jurisdiction of any federal court
located in San Francisco, California, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such court. Each Party also agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court or tribunal. Each of the Parties waives
any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding so brought.
Each Party agrees to frame any complaint brought in any such action or proceeding to support
federal court jurisdiction if grounds for federal jurisdiction exist, and further agrees that any
of the other Parties may required such Party to dismiss any state law case where a federal court
would have jurisdiction over the subject matter.



     Section 12. Further Actions. Each of the Parties agrees to take any and all actions
reasonably necessary in order to effectuate the intent, and to carry out the provisions, of this
