Re: Section 7.19(iv) of the MIPA

Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:

Reference is made to that certain LLC Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2009 (the “MIPA”), by and between Reliant Energy, Inc. (the “Seller”) and NRG Retail LLC (the “Purchaser”). Each of the Seller and the Purchaser is referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) sets forth the agreement between the Parties regarding certain modifications of the obligation of the Seller under Section 7.19(iv) of the MIPA. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the MIPA.

The Parties hereby agree as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 7.19(iv) of the MIPA, the Seller shall not be required to, or be required to cause RE Supply to, either (x) terminate and shutdown its membership with PJM or (y) transfer to an Affiliate (other than a Subject Company) of the Seller its membership with PJM at or prior to the Closing. The Seller hereby represents that RE Supply has provided the requisite termination notice to terminate and shutdown its membership with PJM on April 1, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto. However, such termination shall not be effective until July 5, 2009 (the “PJM Termination Date”).

Notwithstanding any limitations in Section 10.3, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties that arise out of any liability associated with the RE Supply membership with PJM after the Closing Date and on or prior to the PJM Termination Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party from and against any such Losses that arise out of or relate to any actions or activity by RE Supply or any Purchaser Indemnified Party after the Closing Date.

Except as amended by the foregoing, the MIPA remains in full effect.
