RISK FACTORS

      You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus before you decide whether to exchange your outstanding notes in this offering. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we may face. The following risks, together with additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we may currently deem immaterial, could impair our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated with the Exchange Offer

	Because there is no public market for the exchange notes, you may not be able to resell your exchange notes.

      The exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, but will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market, and there can be no assurance as to:

	•	the liquidity of any trading market that may develop;
	•	the ability of holders to sell their exchange notes; or
	•	the price at which the holders would be able to sell their exchange notes.

      If a trading market were to develop, the exchange notes might trade at higher or lower prices than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar debentures and our financial performance.

      We understand that the initial purchasers presently intend to make a market in the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and any market-making activity with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, any market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act,” and may be limited during the exchange offer or the pendency of an applicable shelf registration statement. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the notes or that any trading market that does develop will be liquid.

      In addition, any holder of outstanding notes who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes may be deemed to have received restricted securities, and if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For a description of these requirements, see “Exchange Offer.”

	Your outstanding notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures and, as a result, your notes will continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

      We will not accept your notes for exchange if you do not follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue exchange notes as part of this exchange offer only after a timely receipt of your outstanding notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your outstanding notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your notes, letter of transmittal and other required documents by the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will not accept your notes for exchange. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of outstanding notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of notes, we may not accept your notes for exchange. For more information, see “Exchange Offer.”

	If you do not exchange your outstanding notes, your outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

      We did not register the outstanding notes, nor do we intend to do so following the exchange offer. Outstanding notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If you do not exchange your outstanding notes, you will lose your right to have your outstanding notes registered under the federal securities

Risks Related to the Notes

	Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under these exchange notes.

      We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. On March 31, 2005, we had total principal indebtedness of approximately $3.2 billion (of which $1.3 billion consists of the outstanding notes and $798.9 million consists of borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, which are secured by a first-priority lien on the collateral securing the outstanding notes and the exchange notes). In addition, we have the ability to borrow an additional $150.0 million under our revolving credit facility. These borrowings would also be secured by a first-priority lien on the collateral securing the outstanding notes and these exchange notes.

      Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

	•	make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to these exchange notes;
	•	increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
	•	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;
	•	limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
	•	place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
	•	limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

      In addition, the indenture governing the exchange notes and the Amended Credit Facility contains financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in certain activities. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of certain or all of our debt.

	Despite current indebtedness levels, we and certain of our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

      We and certain of our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including debt secured by first- or second-priority security interests in the collateral that secures the exchange notes. The terms of the indenture do not fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from doing so. The revolving credit facility under our Amended Credit Facility permits additional borrowing of up to $150.0 million and all of such borrowings, together with all other borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, would rank effectively senior to the exchange notes and the guarantees thereof to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such borrowings. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify.

	To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

      Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including these exchange notes, and to fund working capital and planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, weather and other factors that are beyond our control.

Table of Contents

      We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated asset sales, cost savings and operating improvements will be realized on schedule if at all or that future borrowings will be available to us under our Amended Credit Facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including these exchange notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may be required to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including these exchange notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. For further discussion of our liquidity situation and related impacts, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

	We may not have access to the cash flow and other assets of our subsidiaries that may be needed to make payment on the exchange notes.

      Much of our business is conducted through our subsidiaries. Although certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors of the exchange notes, some of our subsidiaries are not guarantors and thus are not obligated to make funds available to us for payment on the exchange notes. Accordingly, our ability to make payments on the exchange notes is dependent on the earnings and the distribution of funds from subsidiaries, some of which are non-guarantors. Our subsidiaries will be permitted under the terms of the indenture to incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us. We cannot assure you that the agreements governing the current and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries will permit our subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund payments on the exchange notes when due.

      Furthermore, certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates are already subject to project financing. Such entities will not guarantee our obligations on the exchange notes. The debt agreements of these subsidiaries and project affiliates generally restrict their ability to pay dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us. Our guarantor subsidiaries represented approximately 75.1% of our revenues from majority owned operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Our guarantor subsidiaries held approximately 66.3% of our consolidated assets as of March 31, 2005. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of external funded indebtedness as of March 31, 2005. Our outstanding consolidated trade payables were $129.7 million as of March 31, 2005. Approximately 31.8% of these trade payables constituted obligations of NRG and our guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, a substantial amount of the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries and project affiliates has been pledged as collateral under their debt agreements and will be excluded entirely from the second priority liens in favor of the exchange notes.

	The collateral securing the exchange notes is subject to control by creditors with first-priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay both the first-priority creditors and the holders of the exchange notes.

      The exchange notes will be secured on a second-priority basis by substantially all of the collateral securing our Amended Credit Facility on a first-priority basis. The assets of certain subsidiaries are pledged to secure the obligations under the Amended Credit Facility but will not be pledged to secure the exchange notes. Certain other assets, including deposit accounts, are pledged to secure obligations under the Amended Credit Facility but not the exchange notes. In addition, under the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes, we are permitted in the future to incur additional indebtedness and other obligations that may share in the second-priority liens on the collateral securing the exchange notes, and in certain circumstances, in the first-priority liens on the collateral securing our Amended Credit Facility.

      The holders of obligations secured by the first-priority liens on the collateral will be entitled to receive proceeds from any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before the holders of the exchange notes and other obligations secured by second-priority liens will be entitled to any recovery from the collateral. We cannot assure you that, in the event of a foreclosure, the proceeds from the sale of all of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the amounts outstanding under the exchange notes and other obligations secured by the second-priority liens, if any, after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first-priority liens on the

Table of Contents

	The lien-ranking provisions set forth in the indenture and the collateral trust agreement will substantially limit the rights of the holders of the exchange notes with respect to the collateral securing the exchange notes.

      The rights of the holders of the exchange notes with respect to the collateral securing the exchange notes will be substantially limited pursuant to the terms of the lien-ranking provisions set forth in the indenture and the collateral trust agreement. Under those lien-ranking provisions, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first-priority liens are outstanding, any actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral, including the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings, and the approval of amendments to, releases of collateral from the lien of, and waivers of past defaults under, the collateral documents, will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first-priority liens. The trustee, on behalf of the holders of the exchange notes, will not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if the rights of the holders of the exchange notes are adversely affected. Additional releases of collateral from the second-priority lien securing the exchange notes are permitted under some circumstances. See “Description of Notes — Security” and “Description of Notes — Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.”

	An enforcement proceeding against the collateral securing the Amended Credit Facility and the exchange notes may trigger change of control defaults in the project and financing documents of our international subsidiaries.

      The Amended Credit Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest and the exchange notes will be secured by a second-priority security interest in certain collateral. This collateral includes the voting equity interests of our foreign subsidiaries, but for tax reasons, we have provided pledges of equity only in certain of our first tier finance subsidiaries, and only 66% of the voting equity interests of these subsidiaries will be pledged. An enforcement of the pledge of the equity of our foreign subsidiaries could cause a change of control default under some of the project and financing documents for those or other foreign subsidiaries. For certain subsidiaries, the change of control default may trigger our partners’ buy-out rights or give project lenders the right to accelerate their loans. Our foreign subsidiaries may have to seek approvals from foreign regulatory or antitrust authorities upon a change of control. In addition, a change of control may trigger tax or stamp duty payments in certain jurisdictions. As a result, it may be difficult for the secured parties under the Amended Credit Facility and the holders of the exchange notes to realize value from the assets of these foreign subsidiaries.

	It may be difficult to realize the value of the collateral securing the exchange notes.

      Each of the facilities that will be included in the collateral is subject to the same kinds of risks as are described under “Risk Factors” and we cannot provide any assurance that any of the environmental or energy permits or other entitlements to operate those facilities would be transferable to the collateral trustee or any

      Our operations involve the use, storage and distribution of certain hazardous materials. As described more fully in “Business — Environmental Matters” incorporated by reference in this prospectus this has led, and can lead, to the presence of contamination on the collateral, which could reduce the value of any contaminated collateral. The so-called federal Superfund law, and many state laws, contain certain lender liability protection that may protect lenders from liability for contamination in the event of foreclosure provided the foreclosing lender follows certain procedural steps and, after foreclosure, makes reasonable efforts to sell the foreclosed property. However, lenders could be liable for existing contamination after foreclosure in the event the lender liability protection procedures are not applicable, are not properly followed or if the law providing such protection is modified or terminated.

      No appraisals of any collateral have been prepared in connection with this offering. The value of the collateral at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. By their nature some or all of the pledged assets may be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value. We cannot assure you that the fair market value of the collateral as of the date of this prospectus exceeds the principal amount of the debt secured thereby. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the security interests with respect to certain collateral may not be timely perfected by the closing of this offering and the Amended Credit Facility. This could impair the collateral trustee’s ability to foreclose on certain collateral on your behalf. The value of the assets pledged as collateral for the exchange notes could be impaired in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, our failure to implement our business strategy, competition and other future trends.

     Bankruptcy laws may limit your ability to realize value from the collateral.

      The right of the collateral trustee to repossess and dispose of the collateral upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture governing the exchange notes is likely to be significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy law if another bankruptcy case were to be commenced by or against us before the collateral trustee repossessed and disposed of the collateral. Upon the commencement of a case under the bankruptcy code, a secured creditor such as the collateral trustee is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from such debtor, without bankruptcy court approval, which may not be given. Moreover, the bankruptcy code permits the debtor to continue to retain and use collateral even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, provided that the secured creditor is given “adequate protection.” The meaning of the term “adequate protection” may vary according to circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of the secured creditor’s interest in the collateral as of the commencement of the bankruptcy case and may include cash payments or the granting of additional security if and at such times as the bankruptcy court in its discretion determines that the value of the secured creditor’s interest in the collateral is declining during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. A bankruptcy court may determine that a secured creditor may not require compensation for a diminution in the value of its collateral if the value of the collateral exceeds the debt it secures.

Table of Contents

      In view of the lack of a precise definition of the term “adequate protection” and the broad discretionary power of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict:

	•	how long payments under the exchange notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case;
	•	whether or when the collateral trustee could repossess or dispose of the collateral;
	•	the value of the collateral at the time of the bankruptcy petition; or
	•	whether or to what extent holders of the exchange notes would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the collateral through the requirement of “adequate protection.”

      In addition, the indenture provides that, in the event of a bankruptcy, the trustee and the collateral trustee may not object to a number of important matters following the filing of a bankruptcy petition so long as any first-lien debt is outstanding. After such a filing, the value of the collateral securing the exchange notes could materially deteriorate and you would be unable to raise an objection. The right of the holders of obligations secured by first-priority liens on the collateral to foreclose upon and sell the collateral upon the occurrence of an event of default also would be subject to limitations under applicable bankruptcy laws if we or any of our subsidiaries become subject to another bankruptcy proceeding.

      Any disposition of the collateral during a bankruptcy case would also require permission from the bankruptcy court. Furthermore, in the event a bankruptcy court determines the value of the collateral is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on first priority lien debt and, thereafter, the exchange notes, the holders of the exchange notes would hold a secured claim to the extent of the value of the collateral to which the holders of the exchange notes are entitled and unsecured claims with respect to such shortfall. The bankruptcy code only permits the payment and accrual of post-petition interest, costs and attorney’s fees to a secured creditor during a debtor’s bankruptcy case to the extent the value of its collateral is determined by the bankruptcy court to exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the obligations secured by the collateral.

	Any future pledge of collateral might be avoidable in bankruptcy.

      Any future pledge of collateral in favor of the collateral trustee, including pursuant to security documents delivered after the date of the indenture, might be avoidable by the pledgor (as debtor in possession) or by its trustee in bankruptcy if certain events or circumstances exist or occur, including, among others, if the pledgor is insolvent at the time of the pledge, the pledge permits the holders of the exchange notes to receive a greater recovery than if the pledge had not been given and a bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the pledgor is commenced within 90 days following the pledge, or, in certain circumstances, a longer period.

	Your right to receive payments on these exchange notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates or reorganizes.

      Some but not all of our subsidiaries will guarantee the exchange notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $1.1 billion of external funded indebtedness as of March 31, 2005, all of which was structurally senior to the exchange notes.

	We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a change of control offer or spin-off or reorganization transaction.

      In specific circumstances involving a change of control, spin-off or reorganization transaction, we may be required to repurchase some or all of the exchange notes. Our ability to repurchase the exchange notes in such event may be limited by our financial resources, by law, by regulation or administrative rule, by other indentures, by the terms of other agreements relating to indebtedness senior to the exchange notes and by such indebtedness and agreements as may be entered into, replaced, supplemented or amended from time to time. For example, upon the occurrence of certain specific change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all exchange notes that are outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and

	Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.

      Under the bankruptcy code and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

	•	received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee;
	•	was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
	•	was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
	•	intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

      In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

      The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

	•	the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the net realizable value of all of its assets; or
	•	if the present net realizable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
	•	it could not pay its debts as they become due.

      On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of these exchange notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

	We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the exchange notes will develop.

      The exchange notes are new securities for which there currently is no market. Although the initial purchases of the outstanding notes have informed us that they intend to make a market in the exchange notes they are not obligated to do so and any such market making may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the exchange notes. The exchange notes are expected to be eligible for trading by qualified buyers in the PORTAL market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the exchange notes on any securities exchange or for quotation through The Nasdaq National Market.

      In addition, the liquidity of, and trading market for, the exchange notes may also be adversely affected by general declines in the market for similar securities. Such a decline may adversely affect such liquidity and trading markets independent of our financial performance and prospects.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

      NRG, the subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers entered into registration rights agreements in connection with the issuances of the outstanding notes on December 23, 2003 and January 28, 2004. Each of the registration rights agreements provides that we and the subsidiary guarantors will take the following actions, at our expense, for the benefit of the holders of the notes:

	•	Within 150 days after December 23, 2003, we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement for the notes, of which this prospectus is a part, relating to the exchange offer. The exchange notes will have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes except that the exchange notes will not contain transfer restrictions.
	•	We will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act within 210 days after December 23, 2003.
	•	We will commence the exchange offer and use all commercially reasonable efforts to issue within 30 business days, or longer if required by the federal securities laws, after the date on which the exchange offer registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, exchange notes in exchange for all notes tendered in the exchange offer.

      We will be required to use all commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement covering resales of the outstanding notes under certain circumstances set forth in the registration rights agreements.

      We will pay additional interest on the notes for the periods described below if:

	•	we do not file the required registration statement on time;
	•	the SEC does not declare the required registration statement effective on time;
	•	we do not complete the offer to exchange the notes for the exchange notes within 30 business days after the date specified for effectiveness of the registration statement; or
	•	the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement, as applicable, is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of the notes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreements.

      You will not have any remedy other than liquidated damages on the notes if we fail to meet the deadlines listed above, which we refer to as a “registration default.” When there is a registration default, we will pay liquidated damages on the notes, for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first registration default, in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The amount of the liquidated damages will increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all registration defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages for all registration defaults of $.50 per week per $1,000 principal amount of notes. From May 22, 2004 until the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we were in a registration default. As a result, on the next interest payment date, holders will receive liquidated damages on our outstanding notes accrued from the last interest payment date through the date the registration statement is declared effective.

      If we are required to pay liquidated damages in the future, we will pay them to you in cash on the same dates that we make interest payments on the notes, until we remedy all registration defaults.

      Following the consummation of the exchange offer, holders of the outstanding notes who were eligible to participate in the exchange offer but who did not tender their outstanding notes will not have any further registration rights and their outstanding notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the outstanding notes could be adversely affected.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

      Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all outstanding notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding notes accepted in the exchange offer. Any holder may tender some or all of its outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, outstanding notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

      The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the outstanding notes except that:

	•	the exchange notes bear a Series B designation and a different CUSIP Number from the outstanding notes;
	•	the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and hence will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof; and
	•	the holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to certain rights under the registration rights agreement, including the provisions providing for an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding notes in certain circumstances relating to the timing of the exchange offer, all of which rights will terminate when the exchange offer is terminated.

      The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture relating to the outstanding notes.

      As of the date of this prospectus, $1,350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes were outstanding. We have fixed the close of business on                     , 2005 as the record date for the exchange offer for purposes of determining the persons to whom this prospectus and the letter of transmittal will be mailed initially.

      Holders of outstanding notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the indenture relating to the notes in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

      We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered outstanding notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the exchange notes from us.

      If any tendered outstanding notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of specified other events set forth in this prospectus or otherwise, the certificates for any unaccepted outstanding notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof as promptly as practicable after the expiration date of the exchange offer.

      Holders who tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than transfer taxes in certain circumstances, in connection with the exchange offer. See “— Fees and Expenses.”

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

      The term “expiration date” will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2005, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term “expiration date” will mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

      In order to extend the exchange offer, we will make a press release or other public announcement, notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will mail to the registered holders an announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

Table of Contents

      We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, (1) to delay accepting any outstanding notes, to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth below under “— Conditions” have not been satisfied, by giving oral or written notice of any delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent or (2) to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. Such decision will also be communicated in a press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the next business day following such decision. Any announcement of delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders.

Interest on the Exchange Notes

      The exchange notes will bear interest from their date of issuance. Holders of outstanding notes that are accepted for exchange will receive, in cash, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the date of issuance of the exchange notes. Such interest will be paid with the first interest payment on the exchange notes on December 15, 2005. Interest on the outstanding notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue upon issuance of the exchange notes.

      Interest on the exchange notes is payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2005.

Procedures for Tendering

      Only a holder of outstanding notes may tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal or transmit an agent’s message in connection with a book-entry transfer, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile, together with the outstanding notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. To be tendered effectively, the outstanding notes, letter of transmittal or an agent’s message and other required documents must be completed and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “— Exchange Agent” prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Delivery of the outstanding notes may be made by book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described below. Confirmation of the book-entry transfer must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date.

      The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by a book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the exchange agent forming a part of a confirmation of a book-entry, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the book-entry transfer facility tendering the outstanding notes that the participant has received and agrees: (1) to participate in ATOP; (2) to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal; and (3) that we may enforce the agreement against the participant.

      By executing the letter of transmittal, each holder will make to us the representations set forth above.

      The tender by a holder and our acceptance thereof will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal or agent’s message.

      The method of delivery of outstanding notes and the letter of transmittal or agent’s message and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and sole risk of the holder. As an alternative to delivery by mail, holders may wish to consider overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or outstanding notes should be sent to us. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for them.

      Any beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on the beneficial owner’s behalf. See “Instructions to Registered Holder and/or Book-Entry Transfer Facility Participant from Beneficial Owner” included with the letter of transmittal.

Table of Contents

      Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member of the Medallion System unless the outstanding notes tendered pursuant to the letter of transmittal are tendered (1) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal or (2) for the account of a member firm of the Medallion System. In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by a member firm of the Medallion System.

      If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed in this prospectus, the outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the outstanding notes with the signature thereon guaranteed by a member firm of the Medallion System.

      If the letter of transmittal or any outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, the person signing should so indicate when signing, and evidence satisfactory to us of its authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

      We understand that the exchange agent will make a request promptly after the date of this prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC for the purpose of facilitating the exchange offer, and subject to the establishment thereof, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account with respect to the outstanding notes in accordance with DTC’s procedures for the transfer. Although delivery of the outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, unless an agent’s message is received by the exchange agent in compliance with ATOP, an appropriate letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantee and all other required documents must in each case be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its address set forth below on or prior to the expiration date, or, if the guaranteed delivery procedures described below are complied with, within the time period provided under the procedures. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

      All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance of tendered outstanding notes and withdrawal of tendered outstanding notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all outstanding notes not properly tendered or any outstanding notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right in our sole discretion to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular outstanding notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of outstanding notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give the notification. Tenders of outstanding notes will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any outstanding notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration date.

	(2) prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from a member firm of the Medallion System a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number(s) of the outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof together with the certificate(s) representing the outstanding notes or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the member firm of the Medallion System with the exchange agent; and
	(3) the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal of facsimile thereof, as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

      Upon request to the exchange agent, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be sent to holders who wish to tender their outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.

Withdrawal of Tenders

      Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, tenders of outstanding notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

      To withdraw a tender of outstanding notes in the exchange offer, a telegram, telex, letter or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. Any notice of withdrawal must:

	(1) specify the name of the person having deposited the outstanding notes to be withdrawn;
	(2) identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number(s) and principal amount of the outstanding notes, or, in the case of outstanding notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited;
	(3) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the outstanding notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee with respect to the outstanding notes register the transfer of the outstanding notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and
	(4) specify the name in which any outstanding notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person depositing the outstanding notes to be withdrawn.

      All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of the notices will be determined by us, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and no exchange notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the outstanding notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any outstanding notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to the holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under “— Procedures for Tendering” at any time prior to the expiration date.

Conditions

      Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange notes for, any outstanding notes, and may, prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the acceptance of the outstanding notes, if:

	(1) any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer which we reasonably believe might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or any material adverse development has occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries; or
	(2) any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the Staff of the SEC is proposed, adopted or enacted, which we reasonably believe might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits of the exchange offer to us; or
	(3) any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we reasonably believe to be necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer as contemplated by this prospectus.

      If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of the conditions are not satisfied, we may (1) refuse to accept any outstanding notes and return all tendered outstanding notes to the tendering holders, (2) extend the exchange offer and retain all outstanding notes tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw the outstanding notes (see “— Withdrawal of Tenders”) or (3) waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered outstanding notes which have not been withdrawn.

Accounting Treatment

      The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes as a result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be deferred and charged to expense over the term of the exchange notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

      The outstanding notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, the outstanding notes may be resold only:

	(1) to us upon redemption thereof or otherwise;
	(2) so long as the outstanding notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person inside the United States whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, which other exemption is based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us;
	(3) outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or
	(4) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

in each case in accordance with any applicable securities law of any state of the United States.

Resale of the Exchange Notes

      With respect to resales of exchange notes, based on interpretations by the Staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that a holder or other person who receives exchange notes, whether or not the person is the holder, other than a person that is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, in exchange for outstanding notes in the ordinary course of business and who is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the exchange notes, will be allowed to resell the exchange notes to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to the purchasers of the exchange notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. However, if any holder acquires exchange notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing or participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, the holder cannot rely on the position of the Staff of the SEC expressed in the no-action letters or any similar interpretive letters, and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Further, each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where the outstanding notes were acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS

      This exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive outstanding notes in like principal amount, the form and terms of which are the same as the form and terms of the exchange notes, except as otherwise described in this prospectus.

      On December 23, 2003, we used the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of $1,250.0 million of outstanding notes, together with proceeds from our Amended Credit Facility and cash, to, among other things:

	•	repay certain notes (including accrued interest) issued by NRG Northeast Generating LLC, which we refer to as the “Northeast Genco Notes”;
	•	repay certain notes (including accrued interest) issued by NRG South Central Generating, which we refer to as the “South Central Notes”;
	•	repay certain indebtedness (including accrued interest) of NRG MidAtlantic Generating LLC;
	•	pay a settlement amount associated with the repayment of the Northeast Genco Notes and the South Central Notes;
	•	make a $500.0 million distribution to certain of our former unsecured creditors pursuant to the NRG plan of reorganization;
	•	pre-fund a $250.0 million letter of credit subfacility under the Amended Credit Facility; and
	•	pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the outstanding notes and the Amended Credit Facility.

      We used the net proceeds from the offering of $475.0 million of the 8% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes on January 28, 2004 to repay a portion of the Amended Credit Facility.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

      The following are the audited consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods set forth below in the five-year three-month period ended March 31, 2005:

														January 1,				December 6,
		Year Ended												2003				2003
		December 31,												Through				Through				Year Ended				Three Months
														December 5,				December 31,				December 31,				Ended March 31,
		2000				2001				2002				2003				2003				2004				2005
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges			1.81				1.26				—				9.82				1.63				1.77				—

      The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, “earnings” includes pre-tax income/(loss) before adjustments for minority interest in our consolidated subsidiaries and income or loss from equity investees, plus fixed charges and distributed income of equity investees, reduced by interest capitalized. “Fixed charges” include interest, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt expense and the portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor in these rentals. For the period January 1, 2003 through December 5, 2003, the earnings include a one time earning of $4,118,636,000 due to Fresh Start adjustments. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $3.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

      You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “Certain Definitions.” In this description, “NRG” refers only to NRG Energy, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

      NRG issued the outstanding notes under an indenture dated as of December 23, 2003 among itself, the Guarantors and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, in private transactions on December 23, 2003 and January 28, 2004 that were not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Any notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer, together with the exchange notes (as defined in the indenture) will be treated as a single class of notes under the indenture. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The security documents and collateral trust agreement referred to below under the caption “— Security” contain the terms of the security interests that secure the notes.

      The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the notes, the indenture, the collateral trust agreement and the security documents. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read those agreements because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of those agreements are available as set forth below under “— Additional Information.” Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “— Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture. Unless otherwise required by the context, references in this description to the “notes” includes the notes issued to the initial purchasers in private transactions that were not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the exchange notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act.

      The registered holder of a note is treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders have rights under the indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes

      The notes:

	•	will be general obligations of NRG;
	•	will be secured on a second-priority basis together with all obligations of NRG under any future Parity Lien Debt, by security interests in all assets of NRG other than the Excluded Assets, subject to the liens securing NRG’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Priority Lien Debt and other Permitted Prior Liens;
	•	will be effectively subordinated to NRG’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Priority Lien Obligations, which will be secured on a first-priority basis by the same assets of NRG that secure the notes;
	•	will be pari passu in right of payment with all other senior indebtedness of NRG, including the outstanding notes and Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Creditor Notes, if any;
	•	will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of NRG, if any; and
	•	will be guaranteed by the Guarantors.

The Subsidiary Guarantees

      Each guarantee of the notes:

	•	will be general obligations of the Guarantors;
	•	will be secured on a second-priority basis together with all obligations of that Guarantor under any future Parity Lien Debt, by security interests in all assets of that Guarantor other than the Excluded Assets, subject to the liens securing the Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Agreement obligations and any other Priority Lien Debt and other Permitted Prior Liens;

27

---

Table of Contents

	•	will be effectively subordinated to that Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Agreement and any other Priority Lien Debt, which will be secured on a first-priority basis by the same assets of that Guarantor that secure the notes;
	•	will be pari passu in right of payment with all other senior indebtedness of that Guarantor, including its guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and
	•	will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor, if any.

      Pursuant to the indenture, NRG will be permitted to designate additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt, subject to the Priority Lien Cap. NRG also will be permitted to incur additional Indebtedness as Parity Lien Debt or Additional Non-Recourse Debt, in each case, subject to the covenant described below under “Covenants — Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and “Covenants — Liens.” As of March 31, 2005, NRG had $798.9 million of Priority Lien Debt and $1.3 billion of Parity Lien Debt outstanding.

      The operations of NRG are conducted through its subsidiaries and, therefore, NRG depends on the cash flow of its subsidiaries to meet its obligations, including its obligations under the notes. Not all of NRG’s subsidiaries will guarantee the notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all Indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of these non-guarantor subsidiaries. Any right of NRG to receive assets of any of its subsidiaries upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization (and the consequent right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that NRG is itself recognized as a creditor of the subsidiary, in which case the claims of NRG would still be subordinate in right of payment to any security in the assets of the subsidiary and any indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to that held by NRG. Our guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately 72.9% of NRG’s revenues from wholly-owned operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our guarantor subsidiaries held approximately 66.3% of NRG’s consolidated assets as of March 31, 2005.

      As of March 31, 2005, NRG’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of external funded indebtedness and the outstanding trade payables of NRG and its Subsidiaries was $129.7 million. Approximately 31.8% of these trade payables would have constituted obligations of NRG and the Guarantors. See “Risk Factors — Your right to receive payments on these notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates, or reorganizes.”

      As of the date of the indenture, all of NRG’s subsidiaries were “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” NRG will be permitted to designate certain of its subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” NRG’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. NRG’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

      NRG issued $1.725 billion in aggregate principal amount of notes in the offerings on December 23, 2003 and January 28, 2004. In January 2005 and March 2005 NRG purchased $25 million and $15.8 million, respectively, of notes at market prices and on February 4, 2005, NRG redeemed and retired $375.0 million of notes. NRG may issue additional notes from time to time after this exchange offer. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenants described below under the captions “— Certain Covenants — Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and “— Certain Covenants — Liens.” The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The notes and any additional notes will also be treated as a single class of secured creditors under the collateral trust agreement and the security documents. NRG will issue notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on December 15, 2013.

      Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 8.0% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2004. Interest on the notes will accrue from December 23, 2003. Interest on overdue principal and interest and Liquidated Damages will accrue at a rate that

28

---

Table of Contents

      Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

      If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to NRG, NRG will pay all principal, interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on that holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless NRG elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the noteholders at their address set forth in the register of holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

      The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. NRG may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and NRG or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

      A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. NRG is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, NRG is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Subsidiary Guarantees

      NRG’s payment obligations under the notes and all related Parity Lien Obligations will be guaranteed on an unconditional basis by each of NRG’s current and future Restricted Subsidiaries, other than the Excluded Subsidiaries for so long as they constitute Excluded Subsidiaries. These Subsidiary Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See “Risk Factors — Federal and State statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors.” The Subsidiary Guarantees of the notes will be secured, on a second-priority basis, equally and ratably with any future Parity Lien Debt, by security interests in all of the assets of the Guarantors except Excluded Assets, subject to liens securing Priority Lien Debt and other Permitted Prior Liens.

      A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than NRG or another Guarantor, unless:

	(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
	(2) either:

	(a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the indenture, its Subsidiary Guarantee, the relevant security documents and the registration rights agreement (unless all material obligations in that agreement have been performed) pursuant to supplemental agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee and the collateral trustee; or
	(b) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture.

29

Table of Contents

      So long as no Bankruptcy Case or Insolvency Proceeding is pending at the time, the Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically and all security interests granted by the Guarantor to the collateral trustee will be released:

	(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sale” provisions of the indenture;
	(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the “Asset Sale” provisions of the indenture;
	(3) if NRG designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture;
	(4) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes as provided below under the captions “— Defeasance” and “— Satisfaction and Discharge;” or
	(5) upon a dissolution of a Guarantor that is permitted under the indenture.

      See “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”

Optional Redemption

      At any time prior to December 15, 2006, NRG may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 108% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

	(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (excluding notes held by NRG and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
	(2) the redemption occurs within 45 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

      On or after December 15, 2008, NRG may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on December 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of noteholders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

Year		Percentage
2008			104.000%
2009			102.667%
2010			101.333%
2011 and thereafter			100.000%

      On February 4, 2005, we redeemed and retired $375.00 million of outstanding notes. At the same time, we paid $30 million for the early redemption premium on the redeemed notes, $4.1 million in accrued but unpaid interest on the redeemed notes and $0.4 million in accrued but unpaid liquidated damages on the redeemed notes.

Mandatory Redemption

      NRG is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

	Change of Control

      If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require NRG to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that holder’s notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, NRG will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the notes repurchased, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of noteholders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, NRG will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice. NRG will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, NRG will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.

      On the Change of Control Payment Date, NRG will, to the extent lawful:

	(1) accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
	(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and
	(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by NRG.

      The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

      NRG will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

      The provisions described above that require NRG to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable.

      Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that NRG repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

      NRG will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by NRG and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the indenture as described above under the caption “— Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

      The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of NRG and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require NRG to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other

	Asset Sales

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale (including a Sale of Collateral) unless:

	(1) NRG (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of or, in the case of Specified Joint Venture Sales, receives consideration at least equal to the value prescribed by the agreements relating to such specified joint ventures as in effect on the date of the indenture;
	(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

	(a) any liabilities, as shown on NRG’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;
	(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by NRG or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt of such securities, notes or other obligations, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
	(c) except in the case of a Sale of Collateral, any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (3) or (5) of the next paragraph of this covenant; and

	(3) in the case of a Sale of Collateral, NRG (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) will deposit the Net Proceeds (other than Excluded Proceeds) as cash collateral in a segregated account held by the collateral trustee or its agent to secure the Secured Obligations.

      Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, other than Excluded Proceeds and other than Net Proceeds from a Sale of Collateral, NRG (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply those Net Proceeds:

	(1) to repay Priority Lien Debt and, if such Priority Lien Debt is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
	(2) in the case of a sale of assets pledged to secured Indebtedness (including Capital Lease Obligations) other than Secured Debt, to repay the Indebtedness secured by those assets;
	(3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Person engaged primarily in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of NRG;
	(4) to make a capital expenditure;
	(5) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or
	(6) any combination of the foregoing.

      Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, NRG may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

      Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral, other than Excluded Proceeds, or from a Casualty Event, NRG (or the Restricted Subsidiary that

Table of Contents

      Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales (including Sales of Collateral but excluding Excluded Proceeds) or Casualty Events that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraphs will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, NRG will make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of notes and all holders of other Parity Lien Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such Parity Lien Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, NRG may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other Parity Lien Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other Parity Lien Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

      NRG will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture, NRG will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

      The Credit Agreement contains and future agreements governing NRG’s other Indebtedness may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale and including repurchases of or other prepayments in respect of the notes. The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require NRG to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control, an Asset Sale or Casualty Event could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control, Asset Sale or Casualty Event itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on NRG. In the event a Change of Control, Asset Sale or Casualty Event occurs at a time when NRG is prohibited from purchasing notes, NRG could seek the consent of the holders of Priority Lien Debt to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If NRG does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, NRG will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, NRG’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement and could constitute a default under other indebtedness. Finally, NRG’s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by NRG’s then existing financial resources. See “Risk Factors — We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture.”

Selection and Notice

      If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption as follows:

	(1) if the notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or
	(2) if the notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate.

      No notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

Table of Contents

      If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

	Changes in Covenant When Notes Rated Investment Grade

      If on any date following the date of the indenture:

	(1) the rating assigned to the notes by each of S&P and Moody’s is an Investment Grade Rating; and
	(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following two paragraphs, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions will be suspended as to the notes:

	(a) “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales;” provided that those provisions relating to the Sale of Collateral and the application of the proceeds therefrom will remain in full force and effect and will not be suspended;
	(b) “— Restricted Payments;”
	(c) “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;”
	(d) “— Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries;”
	(e) “— Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries;”
	(f) “— Transactions with Affiliates;” and
	(g) clause (4) of the covenant described below under the caption “— Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.”

Clauses (a) through (g) above are collectively referred to as the “Suspended Covenants.”

      During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, NRG’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the covenant described below under the caption “— Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries” or the second paragraph of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

      If at any time the notes are downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by either S&P or Moody’s, the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended and be applicable pursuant to the terms of the indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of the indenture), unless and until the notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from each of S&P and Moody’s (in which event the Suspended Covenants will again be suspended for such time that the notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from each of S&P and Moody’s); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under the indenture, the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of NRG or any of its Subsidiaries will bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring after the notes attain an Investment Grade Rating from each of S&P and Moody’s and before any reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants as provided above, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the reinstatement, regardless of whether those actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenant had remained in effect during such period.

	Restricted Payments

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

	(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of NRG’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of NRG’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NRG or to NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG);
	(2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving NRG) any Equity Interests of NRG or any direct or indirect parent of NRG (other than any such Equity Interests owned by NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG);
	(3) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of NRG or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee of the notes (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among NRG and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except (a) a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof or (b) a payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of any subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or payment at final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement; or make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

	(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment; and
	(2) NRG would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;” and
	(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the indenture (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

	(a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of NRG for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the date of the indenture to the end of NRG’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are publicly available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus
	(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by NRG since the date of the indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of NRG (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of NRG that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of NRG), plus
	(c) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) made since the date of the indenture; plus the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted Investments) in any Person resulting from dividends,

	repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets subsequent to the date of the indenture, in each case to NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Person; plus to the extent that the ability to make Restricted Payments was reduced as the result of the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to NRG’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated, or liquidated or merged into, a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, in each case, that the foregoing may not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of all Investments which previously reduced the ability to make Restricted Payments, plus
	(d) 50% of any dividends received by NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG that is a Guarantor after the date of the indenture from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of NRG, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income of NRG for such period.

      The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

	(1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend, if at the date of declaration the dividend payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;
	(2) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of NRG) of, Equity Interests of NRG (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the contribution of common equity capital to NRG; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph;
	(3) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of Indebtedness of NRG or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Subsidiary Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
	(4) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;
	(5) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, (a) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG held by any current or former officer, director or employee of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, severance agreement, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement, employee benefit plan or (b) the cancellation of Indebtedness owing to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any current or former officer, director or employee of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the aggregate price paid for the actions in clause (a) may not exceed $1.0 million in any twelve-month period and $5.0 million in the aggregate since the date of the indenture; provided, further that (i) such amount in any calendar year may be increased by the cash proceeds of “key man” life insurance policies received by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of the indenture less any amount previously applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (5) and (ii) cancellation of the Indebtedness owing to NRG from employees, officers, directors and consultants of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of NRG from such Persons shall be permitted under this clause (5) as if it were a repurchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement for value subject hereto;
	(6) the repurchase of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;
	(7) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG issued on or after the date of the indenture in accordance with the terms of the indenture;

	(9) the consummation of the Refinancing Transactions and the transactions specifically provided for in the NRG Plan of Reorganization as in effect on the date of the indenture;
	(10) the purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement for a nominal value per right of any rights granted to all the holders of Capital Stock of NRG pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan adopted for the purpose of protecting shareholders from unfair takeover tactics; provided that any such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such rights is not for the purpose of evading the limitations of this covenant (all as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of NRG);
	(11) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and after the completion of the offer to repurchase the notes as described above under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control” (including the purchase of all notes tendered), any purchase, defeasance, retirement, redemption or other acquisition of Capital Stock or Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the notes or any subsidiary guarantee required under the terms of such Capital Stock or Indebtedness as a result of such Change of Control; and
	(12) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million since the date of the indenture.

      The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the trustee. The Board of Directors’ determination must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if the Fair Market Value exceeds $35.0 million.

	Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and NRG will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that NRG may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for NRG’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are publicly available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

      The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1) the incurrence by NRG and PMI (and the guarantee thereof by the Guarantors) of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $1.45 billion less the aggregate amount of all repayments, optional or mandatory, of the principal of any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility that have been made by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the indenture with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales (other than Excluded Proceeds) and Casualty Events and less, without duplication, the aggregate amount of all repayments or commitment reductions with respect to any revolving credit borrowings under a Credit Facility that have been made by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of the indenture as a result of the application of the Net Proceeds of

Table of Contents

	Asset Sales (other than Excluded Proceeds) and Casualty Events in accordance with the covenant described above under the caption “Asset Sales” (excluding temporary reductions in revolving credit borrowings as contemplated by that covenant);
	(2) the incurrence by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;
	(3) the incurrence by NRG and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the date of the indenture and the exchange notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the registration rights agreement;
	(4) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement or lease of property (real or personal), plant or equipment used in the business of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $150.0 million at any time outstanding;
	(5) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (11), (13) or (16) of this paragraph;
	(6) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among NRG and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

	(a) if NRG or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not NRG or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the notes, in the case of NRG, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and
	(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG; will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

	(7) the issuance by any of NRG’s Restricted Subsidiaries to NRG or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

	(a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG; and
	(b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG; will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);

	(8) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
	(9) the guarantee by (i) NRG or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; (ii) any of the Excluded Project Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any other Excluded Project Subsidiary; and (iii) any of the Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any other Excluded Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;
	(10) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of

	daylight overdrafts) inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days;
	(11) the Xcel Note and the Creditor Notes, if any;
	(12) the incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptance and performance and surety bonds provided by NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;
	(13) the incurrence of Additional Non-Recourse Debt by any Excluded Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Additional Non-Recourse Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, NRG’s pro forma Secured Leverage Ratio would not exceed 2.75 to 1.0;
	(14) the incurrence of Indebtedness that may be deemed to arise as a result of agreements of NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or any similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Equity Interests of any Subsidiary; provided that the aggregate maximum liability associated with such provisions may not exceed the gross proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) of such disposition;
	(15) the incurrence by NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG of Indebtedness represented by letters of credit, guarantees of Indebtedness or other similar instruments to the extent (i) such instruments are cash collateralized and (ii) NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary would have been permitted to expend the funds used to cash collateralize such instrument directly under the terms of the indenture; and
	(16) the incurrence by NRG and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed $250.0 million.

      NRG will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NRG or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of NRG solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

      For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (16) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, NRG will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which notes are first issued and authenticated under the indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of NRG as accrued.

      For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated

39

Table of Contents

      The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

	(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
	(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
	(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

	(a) the Fair Market Value of such asset at the date of determination, and
	(b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person;

provided that any changes in any of the above shall not give rise to a default under this covenant.

	Liens

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, grant or permit to exist a Lien upon any property (whether then held by it or to be acquired by it at a future time) as security for any Parity Lien Debt, unless (1) such Lien secures all Parity Lien Obligations (including the notes) on an equal and ratable basis and (2) the collateral trustee holds an enforceable and perfected Lien upon such property as security equally and ratably for all Parity Lien Obligations.

	Sale and Leaseback Transactions

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that NRG or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

	(1) NRG or that Guarantor, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption “— Liens;”
	(2) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is subject of that sale and leaseback transaction, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of NRG; and
	(3) if such sale and leaseback transaction constitutes an Asset Sale, the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and NRG applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, the covenant described above under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”

	Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

	(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

	(2) make loans or advances to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or
	(3) transfer any of its properties or assets to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

      However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

	(1) agreements governing Existing Indebtedness, the Creditor Notes, if any, and Credit Facilities as in effect on the date of the indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the indenture;
	(2) the indenture, the notes, the security documents and the Subsidiary Guarantees (including the exchange notes and related Subsidiary Guarantees);
	(3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;
	(4) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, agreements, leases, permits and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;
	(5) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
	(6) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or other disposition;
	(7) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;
	(8) Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption “— Liens” that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;
	(9) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of NRG’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements;

	(11) restrictions or conditions contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase, sale or similar agreement to which NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance of solely the property or assets of NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary that are the subject of that agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder and/or the proceeds thereof and not to any other asset or property of NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of any other Restricted Subsidiary;
	(12) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;

	Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

      NRG may not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not NRG is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:

	(1) either: (a) NRG is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NRG) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided that if the Person is a partnership or limited liability company, then a corporation wholly-owned by such Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia that does not and will not have any material assets or operations shall become a co-issuer of the notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture duly executed by the trustee;

	(4) (i) NRG or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NRG), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” or (ii) NRG’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater after giving pro forma effect to such consolidation or merger and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period than NRG’s actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period.

      In addition, NRG may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

      This “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant will not apply to:

	(1) a merger of NRG with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating NRG in another jurisdiction; and
	(2) any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including by way of merger or consolidation.

	Transactions with Affiliates

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of NRG (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

	(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to NRG (as reasonably determined by NRG) or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
	(2) NRG delivers to the trustee:

	(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and
	(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $35.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

      The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

	(1) any employment agreement or director’s engagement agreement, employee benefit plan, officer and director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business or approved by the Board of Directors of NRG in good faith;
	(2) transactions between or among NRG and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
	(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of NRG) that is an Affiliate of NRG solely because NRG owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;
	(4) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of NRG;
	(5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of NRG or its Restricted Subsidiaries to Affiliates of NRG;

	(7) any agreement in effect as of the date of the indenture or any amendment thereto or replacement thereof and any transaction contemplated thereby or permitted thereunder, so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement taken as a whole is not more disadvantageous to the Holders than the original agreement as in effect on the date of the indenture;
	(8) payments or advances to employees or consultants that are incurred in the ordinary course of business or that are approved by the Board of Directors of NRG in good faith;

	(9) the existence of, or the performance by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the date of the indenture and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the date of the indenture shall only be permitted by this clause (9) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes in any material respect;
	(10) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of the covenant described under “— Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets;”
	(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to joint venture agreements) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the indenture that are fair to NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of NRG or the senior management thereof, or are on terms not materially less favorable taken as a whole as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;
	(12) any repurchase, redemption or other retirement of Capital Stock of NRG held by employees of NRG or any of its Subsidiaries at a price not in excess of the Fair Market Value thereof and, if greater than $1.0 million, approved by the Board of Directors;

	Business Activities

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

	Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

      If NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) after the date of the indenture or if any Excluded Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary after the date of the indenture, then such newly acquired or created Subsidiary, or former Excluded Subsidiary, will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the trustee within 30 business days of the date on which it was acquired or created or ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary.

	Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

      The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption “— Restricted Payments” or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by NRG. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of

	Payments for Consent

      NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any holder of notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Reports

      Whether or not required by the Commission’s rules and regulations, so long as any notes are outstanding, NRG will furnish to the holders of notes or cause the trustee to furnish to the holders of notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations:

	(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if NRG were required to file such reports; and
	(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if NRG were required to file such reports.

      All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on NRG’s consolidated financial statements by NRG’s independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the registration rights agreement, NRG will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and will post the reports on its website within those time periods.

      If, at any time after consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the registration rights agreement, NRG is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, NRG will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraph with the Commission within the time periods specified above unless the Commission will not accept such a filing. NRG agrees that it will not take any action for the purpose of causing the Commission not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission will not accept NRG’s filings for any reason, NRG will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraph on its website within the time periods that would apply if NRG were required to file those reports with the Commission.

      In addition, NRG and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, at any time they are not required to file the reports required by the preceding paragraphs with the Commission, they will furnish to the holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Security

      The obligations of NRG with respect to the notes, the obligations of the Guarantors under the guarantees, all obligations under any future Parity Lien Debt, all other Parity Lien Obligations and the performance of all other obligations of NRG, the Guarantors and NRG’s other Restricted Subsidiaries under the Note Documents will be secured equally and ratably by second-priority security interests in the Collateral granted to the collateral trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Parity Lien Obligations. These Liens will be junior in priority to the Liens securing Priority Lien Obligations up to the Priority Lien Cap and other Permitted Prior Liens. The Liens securing Priority Lien Obligations will also be held by the collateral trustee. In addition, certain assets will be pledged to secure obligations under the Credit Agreement that will not be pledged to secure the notes.

Table of Contents

      The Collateral comprises all of the assets of NRG and the Guarantors, other than the Excluded Assets. Although the Excluded Perfection Assets will be included in the Collateral, NRG and the Guarantors will not be required to perfect the second-priority security interests in such assets and, as a result, the security interest granted to the collateral trustee in those assets may not have priority with respect to a competing security interest in those assets in favor of another secured creditor.

Collateral Trust Agreement

      On the date of the indenture, NRG and the Guarantors entered into a collateral trust agreement with the collateral trustee, which sets forth the terms on which the collateral trustee will receive, hold, administer, maintain, enforce and distribute the proceeds of all Liens upon any property of NRG or any Guarantor at any time held by it, in trust for the benefit of the present and future holders of the Secured Obligations.

	Collateral Trustee

      Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has been appointed collateral trustee pursuant to the collateral trust agreement to serve as the collateral trustee for the benefit of the holders of:

	•	the notes;
	•	all other Parity Lien Obligations outstanding from time to time; and
	•	all Priority Lien Obligations outstanding from time to time.

      The collateral trust agreement provides that the collateral trustee may not be the same institution serving as a Parity Debt Representative or a Priority Debt Representative, but any Priority Debt Representative may serve as an agent for the collateral trustee.

      The collateral trustee will hold (directly or through co-trustees, agents or sub-agents), and will be entitled to enforce, all Liens on the Collateral created by the security documents.

      Except as provided in the collateral trust agreement or as directed by an Act of Instructing Debtholders, the collateral trustee will not be obligated:

	(1) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other Person;
	(2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien; or
	(3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the security documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.

      NRG will deliver to each Secured Debt Representative copies of all security documents delivered to the collateral trustee.

	Enforcement of Security Interests

      If the collateral trustee at any time receives a Notice of Actionable Default or other notice that an Actionable Default has occurred and is continuing, it will promptly deliver written notice thereof to each Secured Debt Representative. Thereafter, the collateral trustee may await direction by an Act of Instructing Debtholders and will act, or decline to act, as directed by an Act of Instructing Debtholders, in the exercise and enforcement of the collateral trustee’s interests, rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral or under the security documents or applicable law and, following the initiation of such exercise of remedies, the collateral trustee will act, or decline to act, with respect to the manner of such exercise of remedies as directed by an Act of Instructing Debtholders. Unless it has been directed to the contrary by an Act of Instructing Debtholders, the collateral trustee in any event may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to any Actionable Default as it may deem advisable and in the best interest of the holders of Secured Obligations.

	Order of Application

      The collateral trust agreement provides that if, pursuant to the exercise of any default remedies set forth in any security document, any Collateral is sold or otherwise realized upon by the collateral trustee, the proceeds received by the collateral trustee in respect of such Collateral will be distributed by the collateral trustee in the following order of application:

      FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under the collateral trust agreement on account of the collateral trustee’s fees or any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the collateral trustee or any co-trustee or agent in connection with any security document;

      SECOND, to the respective Priority Debt Representatives for application to the payment of Priority Lien Obligations equally and ratably, or to be held by the Priority Debt Representatives pending such application, until all Priority Lien Obligations have been paid in full in cash or the cash amount held by the Priority Debt Representatives in respect of all Priority Lien Obligations is sufficient to pay all Priority Lien Obligations in full in cash;

      THIRD, to the respective Parity Debt Representatives for application to the Parity Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of such Collateral equally and ratably, or to be held by the Parity Debt Representatives pending such application, until all Parity Lien Obligations have been paid in full in cash or the cash amount held by the Parity Debt Representatives in respect of all Parity Lien Obligations is sufficient to pay all Parity Lien Obligations in full in cash; and

      FOURTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of all of the Secured Obligations entitled to the benefit of such Collateral shall be paid to NRG or the other applicable Obligor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

      If any Parity Debt Representative or any holder of a Parity Lien Obligation collects or receives any proceeds in respect of the Parity Lien Obligations that should have been applied to the payment of the Priority Lien Obligations in accordance with the paragraph above, whether after the commencement of a Bankruptcy Case or otherwise, such Parity Debt Representative or such holder of a Parity Lien Obligation, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the collateral trustee, for the account of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations, in the form received, duly indorsed to the collateral trustee, to be applied in accordance with the provisions set forth above under this caption “— Order of Application.” Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by such Parity Debt Representative or such holder of a Parity Lien Obligation, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations and shall be deemed to be held segregated from other funds and property held by such Parity Debt Representative or such holder of a Parity Lien Obligation.

	Release of Liens on Collateral

      The collateral trust agreement provides that the collateral trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will be released:

	(1) in whole, upon (a) the payment in full and discharge of all outstanding Secured Debt and all other Secured Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable at the time all of the Secured Debt is paid in full and discharged, (b) the return in full of all outstanding Credit-Linked Deposits (or similar deposits) made under all Secured Debt Documents and (c) the termination or expiration of all commitments to extend credit under all Secured Debt Documents and the cancellation or termination of all outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to any Secured Debt Documents;
	(2) as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by NRG or any other Obligor in a transaction or other circumstance which is not prohibited by all of the Secured Debt Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; and
	(3) as to any Collateral other than Collateral being released pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of this paragraph, if consent to the release of such Collateral has been given by an Act of Instructing Debtholders; provided that if such Collateral represents all or substantially all of the Collateral, consent to release of such

	Collateral has been given by the requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Secured Debt under the applicable Secured Debt Document, and in each case, such release has become effective in accordance with such consent.

	Further Assurances; Insurance

      The collateral trust agreement and the other security documents provide that NRG and each of the other Obligors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that the collateral trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the collateral trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Secured Obligations, duly created and enforceable and except in the case of any Excluded Perfection Assets, perfected Liens upon the Collateral, including after-acquired Collateral and any property or assets which become Collateral pursuant to the definition thereof after the notes are issued, subject, in the case of Parity Lien Obligations, only to the Priority Liens and those Liens that arise by operation of law and are not voluntarily granted, in each case as contemplated by the Secured Debt Documents.

      Upon the reasonable request of the collateral trustee at any time and from time to time, NRG and each of the other Obligors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required, or that the collateral trustee may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Secured Debt Documents for the benefit of the holders of Secured Obligations.

      NRG and the Guarantors (1) will keep their properties adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, which, in the case of any insurance on any mortgaged property, are licensed to do business in the States where the applicable mortgaged property is located; (2) maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks (and with such deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage and coverage for acts of terrorism, as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including public liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in, about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or controlled by them; (3) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and (4) maintain such other insurance as otherwise required by the security documents. Upon the request of the collateral trustee, NRG and the Guarantors will furnish to the collateral trustee full information as to their property and liability insurance carriers.

	Amendment of Security Documents

      The collateral trust agreement provides that no amendment or supplement to the provisions of any security document will be effective without the approval of the collateral trustee acting as directed by an Act of Instructing Debtholders, except that:

	(1) any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of adding or maintaining Collateral, securing additional Secured Debt that was otherwise permitted by the terms of the Secured Debt Documents to be secured by the Collateral or preserving or perfecting the Liens thereon or the rights of the collateral trustee therein, or adding or maintaining any guarantee, will become effective when executed and delivered by NRG or any other applicable Obligor party thereto and the collateral trustee;
	(2) no amendment or supplement that reduces, impairs or adversely affects the right of any Secured Debtholder (a) to vote its outstanding Secured Debt as to any matter described as subject to an Act of Instructing Debtholders (or amends the provisions of this clause (2) or the definition of “Act of Instructing Debtholders” or “Actionable Default”), (b) to share in the order of application described above under “— Order of Application” in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral, in each case that has not been released in accordance with the provisions described above under “— Release of Liens on Collateral” or (c) to require that Liens securing Secured Obligations be released only as set forth in the provisions described above under the caption “— Release of Liens on Collateral,” will become effective without consent of the requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Secured Debt so affected under the applicable Secured Debt Document; and

	(3) no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the collateral trustee or any Secured Debt Representative or adversely affects the rights of the collateral trustee or any Secured Debt Representative, respectively, in its capacity as such will become effective without the consent of the collateral trustee or such Secured Debt Representative, respectively.

      Any amendment or supplement to the provisions of the security documents that releases Collateral will be effective only in accordance with the requirements set forth in the applicable Secured Debt Document referenced above under the caption “— Release of Liens on Collateral.”

Provisions of the Indenture Relating to Security

	Equal and Ratable Sharing of Collateral by Holders of Parity Lien Debt; Sharing Confirmation

      The indenture provides that, notwithstanding:

	(1) anything to the contrary contained in the security documents;
	(2) the time of incurrence of any Series of Parity Lien Debt;

      The foregoing provision is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Parity Lien Obligations, each present and future Parity Debt Representative and the collateral trustee as holder of Parity Liens. The Parity Debt Representative of each future Series of Parity Lien Debt will be required to deliver a Sharing Confirmation to the trustee at the time of incurrence of such Series of Parity Lien Debt.

Table of Contents

      The foregoing provision is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Priority Lien Obligations, each present and future Priority Debt Representative and the collateral trustee as holder of Priority Liens. No other Person will be entitled to rely on, have the benefit of or enforce this provision.

      In addition, the foregoing provision is intended solely to set forth the relative ranking, as Liens, of the Liens securing Parity Lien Debt as against the Priority Liens. Neither the notes nor any other Parity Lien Obligations nor the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy for the payment or collection thereof are intended to be, or will ever be by reason of the foregoing provision, in any respect subordinated, deferred, postponed, restricted or prejudiced.

	Release of Security Interests in Respect of Notes

      The indenture and the collateral trust agreement provide that the collateral trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the notes outstanding under the indenture or any other Obligations under the indenture, and the right of the holders of the notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the collateral trustee’s Liens on Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

	(1) upon satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as set forth under the caption “— Satisfaction and Discharge;”
	(2) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the notes as set forth under the caption “— Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance;” or

	(4) failure by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture or the security documents;
	(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:

	(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or
	(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more (excluding any amounts paid out of the claims reserve established pursuant to the NRG Plan of Reorganization); provided that this clause (5) shall not apply to (i) secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such

	(8) except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor (or any group of Guarantors) that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor (or any group of Guarantors) that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny or disaffirm its or their obligations under its or their Subsidiary Guarantee(s); and
	(9) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the indenture with respect to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Exempt Subsidiaries) that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

      In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to NRG, any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Exempt Subsidiaries) that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all notes that are outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all notes that are outstanding may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

      Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes that are then outstanding may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notes is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages.

      Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

	(1) such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
	(2) holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes that are then outstanding have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;
	(3) such holders have offered the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

	(4) the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
	(5) holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes that are then outstanding have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

      The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding by notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the notes.

      In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of NRG with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that NRG would have had to pay if NRG then had elected to redeem the notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the indenture, an equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to December 15, 2008, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of NRG with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the notes prior to December 15, 2008, then the premium specified in the indenture will also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes.

      NRG is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, NRG is required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

      No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of NRG or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of NRG or the Guarantors under the notes, the indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the security documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

      NRG may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to notes that are outstanding and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:

	(1) the rights of holders of the notes that are then outstanding to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
	(2) NRG’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
	(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and NRG’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and
	(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

      In addition, NRG may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of NRG and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers) that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation

	(9) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the notes.

Satisfaction and Discharge

      The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

	(1) either:

	(a) all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to NRG, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or
	(b) all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and NRG or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

	(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which NRG or any Guarantor is a party or by which NRG or any Guarantor is bound;

In addition, NRG must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

      The Collateral will be released from the Lien securing the notes, as provided under the caption “— Provisions of the Indenture Relating to Security — Release of Security Interests in Respect of Notes,” upon a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with the provisions described above.

Concerning the Trustee

      If the trustee becomes a creditor of NRG or any Guarantor, the indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

      The holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes that are outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Additional Information

      Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the indenture, collateral trust agreement, security documents and registration rights agreement without charge by writing to NRG Energy, Inc., 211 Carnegie Center, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, Attention: Treasurer.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

      Except as set forth below, the notes will be issued in registered, global form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000. The exchange notes initially will be represented by one or more notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

      Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See “— Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

      The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. NRG takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

      DTC has advised NRG that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between the Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the Initial Purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

      DTC has also advised NRG that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

	(1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the Participants designated by the Initial Purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and
	(2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

      Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./ N.V., as operator

      Except as described below, owners of interest in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “Holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

      Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, NRG and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither NRG, the trustee nor any agent of NRG or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

	(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or
	(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

      DTC has advised NRG that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or NRG. Neither NRG nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and NRG and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

      Transfers between the Participants will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

      Cross-market transfers between the Participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

Table of Contents

      DTC has advised NRG that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended notes in certificated form, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

      Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither NRG nor the trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

      A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) if:

	(1) DTC (a) notifies NRG that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, NRG fails to appoint a successor depositary;
	(2) NRG, at its option, notifies the trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or
	(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes.

      In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

      Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the indenture) to the effect that such transfer will comply with the appropriate transfer restrictions applicable to such notes, if any.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

      NRG will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note Holder. NRG will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to be eligible to trade in the PORTAL market and to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. NRG expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

      Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised NRG that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

      The following discussion is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. This discussion does not address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as certain banks, financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, United States Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations and persons holding the notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated transaction. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the notes for cash pursuant to this prospectus at the offering price on the cover page of this prospectus. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws, is not discussed. The discussion deals only with notes held as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

      As used herein, “United States Holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes who or that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

	•	an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test under Section 7701(b) of the Code;
	•	a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof;
	•	an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or
	•	a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons can control all substantial trust decisions, or, if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, a trust that has elected to continue to be treated as a United States person.

      If a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding the notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes.

      We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes or that any such position would not be sustained.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES DISCUSSED BELOW TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING GIFT AND ESTATE TAX LAWS, AND ANY TAX TREATIES.

United States Holders

     Interest

      Payments of stated interest on the notes generally will be taxable to a United States Holder as ordinary income at the time that such payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such United States Holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. In certain circumstances (see “Description of Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control” and “Description of Notes —

Table of Contents

     Market Discount

      A United States Holder who purchases a note at a “market discount” that exceeds a statutorily defined de minimis amount will be subject to the “market discount” rules of the Code. A United States Holder who purchases a note at a premium will be subject to the bond premium amortization rules of the Code.

      In general, “market discount” would be calculated as the excess of a note’s issue price, within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, over its purchase price. If a United States Holder purchases a note at a “market discount,” any gain on sale of that note attributable to the United States Holder’s unrecognized accrued market discount would generally be treated as ordinary income to the United States Holder. In addition, a United States Holder who acquires a debt instrument at a market discount may be required to defer a portion of any interest expense that otherwise may be deductible on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the debt instrument until the United States Holder disposes of the debt instrument in a taxable transaction. Instead of recognizing any market discount upon a disposition of a note and being required to defer any applicable interest expense, a United States Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as the discount accrues. The current income inclusion election, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first taxable year in which the election applies, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.

     Amortizable Bond Premium

      In general, if a United States Holder purchases a note for an amount (excluding any amount attributable to the accrued interest described below) in excess of the stated principal amount of the note, such excess will constitute bond premium. A United States Holder generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under its regular accounting method. The notes are subject to call provisions at our option at various times, as described in this prospectus under “Description of Notes — Optional Redemption.” A United States Holder will calculate the amount of amortizable bond premium based on the amount payable at the applicable call date, but only if the use of the call date (in lieu of the stated maturity date) results in a smaller amortizable bond premium for the period ending on the call date. If such holder does not elect to amortize bond premium that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss it would otherwise recognize on disposition of the note. An election to amortize premium on a constant yield method will also apply to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the United States Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies. The election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. United States Holders should consult their tax advisors before making this election.

Table of Contents

      The rules governing amortizable bond premium are complicated, and United States Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the application of these rules.

     Pre-Purchase Accrued Interest

      A portion of the price paid for a note will be allocable to interest that “accrued” prior to the date the note is purchased, which we refer to as pre-purchase accrued interest. To the extent a portion of a United States Holder’s purchase price is allocable to pre-purchase accrued interest, the note may be treated as having been purchased for an amount that excludes the pre-purchase accrued interest and, in that event, a portion of the first stated interest payment equal to the amount of excluded pre-purchase accrued interest will be treated as a nontaxable return of such pre-purchase accrued interest to the United States Holder. Amounts treated as a return of pre-purchase accrued interest will reduce a United States holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note by a corresponding amount.

     Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

      A United States Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange (other than for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer or a tax-free transaction), redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference between the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in exchange therefor (less a portion allocable to any accrued and unpaid interest, which generally will be taxable as ordinary income if not previously included in such holder’s income) and the United States Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. A United States Holder’s adjusted basis in a note generally will be the United States Holder’s cost therefor, less (1) any principal payments received by such holder, (2) any amounts treated as a return of pre-issuance accrued interest (as discussed above) and (3) the amount of amortized bond premium, if any, previously taken into account with respect to the note. This gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss. In the case of a non-corporate United States Holder, such capital gain will be subject to tax at a reduced rate if a note is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

     Exchange Offer

      The exchange of the notes for the exchange notes will not constitute a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, (1) a United States Holder will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging such holder’s notes; (2) the holding period of the exchange notes will include the holding period of the notes exchanged therefor; and (3) the adjusted tax basis of the exchange notes received will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the notes exchanged therefor immediately before such exchange.

     Backup Withholding

      A United States Holder may be subject to a backup withholding tax when such holder receives interest and principal payments on the notes held or upon the proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of such notes. Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations) are generally not subject to backup withholding. A United States Holder will be subject to this backup withholding tax if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder:

	•	fails to furnish its taxpayer identification number, or TIN, which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number;
	•	furnishes an incorrect TIN;
	•	is notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or
	•	fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the United States Holder that it is subject to backup withholding.

      United States Holders should consult their personal tax advisor regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their

     Interest

      Interest paid to a non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) provided that:

	•	such holder does not directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all of our classes of stock;
	•	such holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through stock ownership and is not a bank that received such notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business;
	•	either (1) the non-United States Holder certifies in a statement provided to us or our paying agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code and provides its name and address (generally by completing IRS Form W-8BEN), (2) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities. in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the notes on behalf of the non-United States Holder certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the financial institution between it and the non-United States Holder, has received from the non-United States Holder a statement, under penalties of perjury, that such holder is not a “United States person” and provides us or our paying agent with a copy of such statement or (3) the non-United States Holder holds its notes directly through a “qualified intermediary” and certain conditions are satisfied; and
	•	the interest is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

      Even if the above conditions are not met, a non-United States Holder may be entitled to an exemption from withholding tax if the interest is effectively connected to a United States trade or business as described below or to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding tax on interest under a tax treaty between the United States and the non-United States Holder’s country of residence. To claim a reduction or exemption under a tax treaty, a non-United States Holder must generally complete an IRS Form W-8BEN and claim the reduction or exemption on the form. In some cases, a non-United States Holder may instead be permitted to provide documentary evidence of its claim to the intermediary, or a qualified intermediary may already have some or all of the necessary evidence in its files.

      The certification requirements described above may require a non-United States Holder that provides an IRS form, or that claims the benefit of an income tax treaty, to also provide its United States taxpayer identification number.

      Payments of additional interest if we fail to register the notes as agreed may, if they become payable, be subject to United States withholding tax. We intend to withhold tax at a rate of 30% on any payment of such interest made to non-United States Holders unless we receive certain certifications from the non-United States Holder claiming that such payments are subject to reduction or elimination of withholding under an applicable treaty, as described above, or that such payments are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, as described below. If we withhold tax from any payment of additional interest made to a non-United States Holder and such payment were determined not to be subject to U.S. federal tax, a non-United States Holder would be entitled to a refund of all tax withheld.

     Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

      A non-United States Holder will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on gain recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of a note unless (i) the

     United States Trade or Business

      If interest or gain from a disposition of the notes is effectively connected with a non-United States Holder’s conduct of a United States trade or business, and, if an income tax treaty applies, the non-United States Holder maintains a United States “permanent establishment” to which the interest or gain is attributable, the non-United States Holder may be subject to United States federal income tax on the interest or gain on a net basis in the same manner as if it were a United States Holder. If interest income received with respect to the notes is taxable on a net basis, the 30% withholding tax described above will not apply (assuming an appropriate certification is provided, generally IRS Form W-8ECI). A foreign corporation that is a holder of a note also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, unless it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty. For this purpose, interest on a note or gain recognized on the disposition of a note will be included in earnings and profits if the interest or gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign corporation of a trade or business in the United States.

     Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

      Backup withholding will not apply to payments of principal or interest made by us or our paying agents, in their capacities as such, to a non-United States Holder of a note if the holder meets the identification and certification requirements discussed above under “Non-United States Holders — Interest.” However, information reporting on IRS Form 1042-S may still apply with respect to interest payments. Payments of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-United States Holder of a note made to or through a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding, except that information reporting (but generally not backup withholding) may apply to those payments if the broker is:

	•	a United States person;
	•	a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes;
	•	a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income is effectively connected with a United States trade or business for a specified three-year period; or
	•	a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year, one or more of its partners are United States persons, as defined in Treasury regulations, who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interest in the partnership or if, at any time during its tax year, the foreign partnership is engaged in a United States trade or business.

      Payment of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-United States Holder of a note made to or through the United States office of a broker is generally subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the holder or beneficial owner certifies as to its taxpayer identification number or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

      Non-United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of withholding and backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from withholding, information reporting and backup withholding under current Treasury regulations. In this regard, the current Treasury regulations provide that a certification may not be relied on if we or our agent (or other payor) knows or has reasons to know that the certification may be false. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-United States Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder’s United States federal income tax liability or may be refunded, provided the required information is furnished in a timely manner to the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      Each participating broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a participating broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received by it in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any participating broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

      We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of the exchange notes by participating broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by participating broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such participating broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any participating broker-dealer that resells the exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      For a period of 180 days after the expiration date we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any participating broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal.

      Prior to the exchange offer, there has not been any public market for the outstanding notes. The outstanding notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be subject to restrictions on transferability to the extent that they are not exchanged for exchange notes by holders who are entitled to participate in this exchange offer. The holders of outstanding notes, other than any holder that is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, who are not eligible to participate in the exchange offer are entitled to certain registration rights, and we may be required to file a shelf registration statement with respect to their outstanding notes. The exchange notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the exchange notes on any national securities exchange or to seek the admission thereof to trading in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes. Such market making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and may be limited during the exchange offer and the pendency of any shelf registration statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the exchange notes or as to the liquidity of the trading market for the exchange notes. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of the exchange notes may experience difficulty in reselling the exchange notes or may be unable to sell them at all. If a market for the exchange notes develops, any such market may be discontinued at any time.

PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20:	Indemnification of Officers and Directors

	Delaware General Corporation Law

      Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

      Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

      Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

      Section 145(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any indemnification under Section 145(a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

      Section 145(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

      Section 145(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

      Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s capacity as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

	NRG Energy, Inc. Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws

      The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of NRG Energy, Inc. provides, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and except as otherwise provided in its by-laws, no director of NRG Energy, Inc. shall be liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. Furthermore, the Amended and Restated By-laws of NRG Energy, Inc. provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including involvement as a witness) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of NRG Energy, Inc. or a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. or, while a director or officer of NRG Energy, Inc. or a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc., is or was serving at the request of NRG Energy, Inc. or a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. as a director, officer, employee, partner, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other entity or enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by NRG Energy, Inc. to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware Law, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, partner, member, manager, trustee, fiduciary or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. This right of indemnification includes our obligation to provide an advance of expenses, although the indemnitee may be required to repay such an advance if there is a judicial determination that the indemnitee was not entitled to the indemnification.

      The Amended and Restated By-laws of NRG Energy, Inc. also permit NRG Energy, Inc. to purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any other person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of NRG Energy, Inc. or a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. or was serving at request of NRG Energy, Inc. or a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc.

      The other registrants are organized in Delaware, California, Minnesota and Virginia. Indemnification of such registrants’ directors and officers provided by applicable law, by the registrants’ organizational documents, by contract or otherwise are substantially similar to that afforded by the directors and officers of NRG Energy, Inc.

Item 21.	Exhibits and Financial Schedules

      (a) The attached Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

      (b) The financial statement schedules required to be filed herewith pursuant to this Item are incorporated by reference to NRG Energy, Inc.’s Form 10-K.

Item 22.	Undertakings

      (a) The undersigned hereby undertake:

	(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

	(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
	(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in

	the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
	(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

	(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
	(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

      (b) The undersigned hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

      (d) The undersigned hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.

      This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

      (e) The undersigned hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
