This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the notes. You should carefully read this summary together with the entire prospectus, including the information set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and the information that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See the section entitled "Incorporation by Reference" for a further discussion on incorporation by reference.

        Unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to "NRG Energy," "NRG," the "Company, "we," "our" and "us" refer to NRG Energy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and references to "Issuer" refer to NRG Energy, Inc., exclusive of its subsidiaries.

Our Businesses

        We are primarily a wholesale power generation company with a significant presence in major competitive power markets in the United States, as well as a major retail electricity provider in the Texas market through Reliant Energy. We are engaged in the ownership, development, construction and operation of power generation facilities, the transacting in and trading of fuel and transportation services, the trading of energy, capacity and related products in the United States and select international markets, and the supply of electricity and energy services to retail electricity customers in the Texas market.

        As of September 30, 2010, we had a total global portfolio of 188 active operating fossil fuel and nuclear generation units, at 44 power generation plants, with an aggregate generation capacity of approximately 24,010 Megawatts ("MW"), and approximately 245 MW under construction which includes partner interests of 120 MW. In addition to our fossil fuel plant ownership, we maintain ownership interests in operating renewable facilities with an aggregate generation capacity of 465 MW, consisting of four wind farms representing an aggregate generation capacity of 445 MW and a 20 MW solar facility. Within the United States, we have large and diversified power generation portfolios in terms of geography, fuel-type and dispatch levels, with approximately 23,005 MW of fossil fuel and nuclear generation capacity in 180 active generating units at 42 plants. Our power generation facilities are most heavily concentrated in Texas (approximately 11,440 MW, including the 445 MW from our four wind farms), the Northeast (approximately 6,910 MW), South Central (approximately 2,885 MW), and West (approximately 2,150 MW, including 20 MW from a solar facility) regions of the United States, with approximately 115 MW of additional generation capacity from our thermal assets. In addition, through certain foreign subsidiaries, NRG has investments in power generation projects located in Australia and Germany with approximately 1,005 MW of generation capacity.

        Our principal domestic power plants consist of a mix of natural gas-, coal-, oil-fired, nuclear and wind facilities, representing approximately 45%, 31%, 17%, 5% and 2% of our total domestic generation capacity, respectively. In addition, 9% of our domestic generating facilities have dual or multiple fuel capacity, which allows plants to dispatch with the lowest cost fuel option.

        Our domestic generation facilities consist of intermittent, baseload, intermediate and peaking power generation facilities, the ranking of which is referred to as the Merit Order, and include thermal energy production plants. The sale of capacity and power from baseload generation facilities accounts for the majority of our revenues and provides a stable source of cash flow. In addition, our generation portfolio provides us with opportunities to capture additional revenues by selling power during periods of peak demand, offering capacity or similar products to retail electric providers and others, and providing ancillary services to support system reliability.

        Reliant Energy, our retail electricity provider, arranges for the transmission and delivery of electricity to customers, bills customers, collects payments for electricity sold and maintains call centers

to provide customer service. Based on metered locations, as of September 30, 2010, Reliant Energy had approximately 1.5 million customers.

        Furthermore, we are focused on the development and investment in energy-related new businesses and new technologies where the benefits of such investments represent significant commercial opportunities and create a comparative advantage for us. These investments include low or no greenhouse gas ("GHG"), emitting energy generating sources, such as nuclear, wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, "clean" coal and gasification, the retrofit of post-combustion carbon capture technologies, and developments in the electric vehicle ecosystem.

Our Strategy

        Our business strategy is intended to maximize investor value through the production and sale of safe, reliable and affordable power to our customers in the markets that we served, while aggressively positioning ourselves to meet the market's increasing demand for sustainable and low carbon energy solutions. This dual strategy is designed to perfect our core business of competitive power generation and establish ourselves as a leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, while utilizing our retail business to complement and advance both initiatives.

        Our core business is focused on: (i) top decile operating performance of its existing operating assets; (ii) optimal hedging of baseload and retail operations, while retaining optionality on our gas fleet; (iii) repowering of power generation assets at existing sites and reducing environmental impacts; (iv) pursuit of selective acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures and investments; and (v) engaging in a proactive capital allocation plan focused on achieving the regular return of capital to stockholders within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management.

        In addition, we believe that success in providing energy solutions that address sustainability and climate change concerns will not only reduce our carbon and capital intensity in the future, it also will reduce the real and perceived linkage between our financial performance and prospects, and volatile commodity prices, particularly with respect to natural gas. Our initiatives in this area of future growth are focused on: (i) low carbon baseload—primarily nuclear generation; (ii) renewables, with a concentration in solar and wind generation and development; (iii) fast start, high efficiency gas-fired capacity in our core regions; (iv) electric vehicle ecosystems; and (v) smart grid services. Our advancements in each of these areas are driven by select acquisitions, joint ventures, and investments that are more fully described in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Recent Developments

        On November 15, 2010, NRG acquired the Cottonwood Generating Station, a 1,279 MW combined cycle natural gas plant in the Entergy zone of east Texas, or Cottonwood, from Kelson Limited Partnership for $525 million in cash. We funded the transaction with cash on hand. The Cottonwood Generating Station consists of four highly efficient natural gas-fueled combined cycle turbines and is capable of powering more than one million homes. The plant began commercial operations in December 2003.

        On November 5, 2010, NRG acquired Green Mountain Energy Company for $350 million in cash. Green Mountain Energy Company is a retail provider of clean energy products and services based in Austin, Texas with residential and commercial customers primarily in Texas, Oregon, and the New York metro region. Green Mountain also delivers renewable products and services to select utilities that are better for the environment, as well as providers in New York and New Jersey. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand.

SUMMARY OF EXCHANGE OFFER

        On August 20, 2010, we sold, through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, $1,100,000,000 of our 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020, all of which are eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes. We refer to these notes as "Old Notes" in this prospectus.

        Simultaneously with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Old Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to use our reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement for substantially identical Notes, which will be issued in exchange for the Old Notes, to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") within 180 days of the date of issuance of the Old Notes and to cause such registration statement to become effective within 270 days of the date of issuance of the Old Notes. We refer to the notes to be registered under this exchange offer registration statement as "Exchange Notes" and collectively with the Old Notes, we refer to them as the "notes" in this prospectus. You may exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in this exchange offer. You should read the discussion under the headings "Summary of Exchange Offer," "Exchange Offer" and "Description of Notes" for further information regarding the Exchange Notes.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT EXCHANGING OLD NOTES

        If you do not exchange your Old Notes in the exchange offer, your Old Notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer currently applicable to the Old Notes. In general, you may offer or sell your Old Notes only:

•

if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws;



•

if they are offered or sold under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; or



•

if they are offered or sold in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

        We do not currently intend to register the Old Notes under the Securities Act. Under some circumstances, however, holders of the Old Notes, including holders who are not permitted to participate in the exchange offer or who may not freely resell Exchange Notes received in the exchange offer, may require us to file, and to cause to become effective, a shelf registration statement covering resales of notes by these holders. For more information regarding the consequences of not tendering your Old Notes and our obligation to file a shelf registration statement, see "Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange" and "Description of Notes—Registration Rights; Special Interest."

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and the risk factors incorporated into this prospectus by reference to our 2009 Form 10-K, as well as the other information contained in and incorporated by reference into this prospectus before deciding to invest in the notes. The selected risks described below and the risks that are incorporated into this prospectus by reference to our 2009 Form 10-K are not our only risks. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any of the following risks or any of the risks described in our 2009 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. In such a case, the trading price of the notes could decline, or we may not be able to make payments of interest and principal on the notes, and you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks Related to the Notes

         Despite current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could increase the risks associated with our already substantial leverage.

        We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture and other indentures relating to outstanding indebtedness restrict our ability to do so, but we retain the ability to incur material amounts of additional indebtedness. If new indebtedness added to our current indebtedness levels, the related risks that we now face could increase. See "Description of Certain Other Indebtedness and Preferred Stock."

         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 notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a significant extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, tax, regulatory, environmental and other factors that are beyond our control.

        Based on our current level of operations and anticipated cost savings and operating improvements, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

        We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that currently anticipated cost savings and operating improvements will be realized on schedule or at all or that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including these notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including these 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.

         In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency, holders of our secured indebtedness and other secured obligations will have a prior secured claim to any collateral securing such indebtedness or other obligations.

        Holders of our secured indebtedness and the secured indebtedness of the guarantors will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders of the notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other indebtedness. Our senior secured credit facility is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors. We have granted first and second priority liens on substantially all of our assets to secure our obligations under certain long-term power and gas hedges as well as interest rate hedges. In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets

12

---

Table of Contents

in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness will have prior claim to those of our assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the notes, and potentially with all our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.

         Your right to receive payments on these notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declare bankruptcy, liquidate or reorganize.

        Some, but not all, of our subsidiaries will guarantee the 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. In addition, the indenture governing the notes will permit us, subject to certain covenant limitations, to provide credit support for the obligations of the non-guarantor subsidiaries and such credit support may be effectively senior to our obligations under the notes. Further, the indenture governing the notes will allow us to transfer assets, including certain specified facilities, to the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

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

        Much of our business is conducted through our subsidiaries. Although certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, some of our subsidiaries will not become guarantors and thus will not be obligated to make funds available to us for payment on the notes. Our ability to make payments on the notes will be 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 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 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 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.

         We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the notes.

        Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds at the time of a change of control to make the required repurchase of notes and/or that restrictions in our senior secured credit facility will not allow such repurchases. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "Change of Control" under the indenture. See "Description of Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders."

Table of Contents

         In the event of a bankruptcy, holders may not have a claim with respect to original issue discount on the notes constituting "unmatured interest" under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

        Under the U.S. bankruptcy code, the principal amount of each note in excess of its issue price is treated as unmatured interest. The claim of a holder of a note in a bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the notes with respect to this original issue discount would be limited to the portion thereof that had accreted prior to the date of the commencement of the bankruptcy case. Holders of notes would not be entitled to receive any additional portion of the original issue discount that accreted during the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding except to the extent the notes are oversecured by their security interest in the collateral.

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

        Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee can 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; and



•

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or



•

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 can 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 will be considered insolvent if:

•

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, are greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or



•

if the present fair saleable value of its assets are 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 cannot 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 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.

         Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the notes.

        The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to have the notes listed on a national securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system.

        The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend upon the number of holders of the notes, our performance, the market for similar securities, the interest in securities dealers making a market in the notes and other factors. Therefore, we cannot assure you that an active market for the notes or exchange notes will develop or, if developed, that it will continue. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the notes will be adversely affected.

        Historically, the market for non investment-grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. We cannot assure you that the market, if any, for the notes or exchange notes will be free from similar disruptions or that any such disruptions may not adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the notes or exchange notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.

Risks Related to the Exchange Notes

         Holders of Old Notes who fail to exchange their Old Notes in the exchange offer will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

        If you do not exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Old Notes. The restrictions on transfer of your Old Notes arise because we issued the Old Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the Old Notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not plan to register the Old Notes under the Securities Act. For further information regarding the consequences of tendering your Old Notes in the exchange offer, see the discussion below under the caption "Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

         You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable Exchange Notes.

        Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for Old Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of book-entry transfer of Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, as depositary, including an agent's message (as defined herein). We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Old Notes for exchange. Exchange Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but we do not accept for exchange will, following consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and, upon consummation of the exchange offer, certain registration and other rights under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate. See "Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Through Brokers and Banks" and "Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

         Some holders who exchange their Old Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

        If you exchange your Old Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you 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.

Risks Related to the Acquisitions

         We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits from the Acquisition of the Cottonwood Generating Station and the Green Mountain Energy Company.

        The success of the acquisition of the Cottonwood Generating Station and the Green Mountain Energy Company will depend largely on our ability to consolidate and effectively integrate the acquired assets, operations and employees into NRG. We cannot be sure that we will realize these anticipated benefits in full or at all.

        The integration will require substantial time and attention from our management. Even if we are able to successfully complete the integration the acquired businesses into our operations, there can be no assurance that we will realize the benefits on the timetable currently contemplated, or at all. Additionally, the actions we take to achieve these benefits could have unintended consequences that adversely affect our business.

         There is limited financial information on which to evaluate the acquisition of the Cottonwood Generating Station and the Green Mountain Energy Company.

        We have had no prior history of operating the Cottonwood Generating Station or the Green Mountain Energy Company. Therefore, any assumptions made related to the performance of such business following the acquisitions may be inaccurate.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        The exchange offer is designed to provide holders of Old Notes with an opportunity to acquire Exchange Notes which, unlike the Old Notes, will be freely transferable at all times, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by state "blue sky" laws and provided that the holder is not our affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act and represents that the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holder's business and the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.

        The Old Notes were originally issued and sold on August 20, 2010, to the initial purchasers, pursuant to the purchase agreement dated August 17, 2010. The Old Notes were issued and sold in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The concurrent resale of the Old Notes by the initial purchasers to investors was done in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The Old Notes may not be reoffered, resold or transferred other than (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available), (v) in accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

        In connection with the original issuance and sale of the Old Notes, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the exchange by us of the Exchange Notes for the Old Notes, pursuant to the exchange offer. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will file with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act and offer to holders of Old Notes who are able to make certain representations the opportunity to exchange their Old Notes for Exchange Notes.

        Under existing interpretations by the Staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in other transactions, the Exchange Notes would, in general, be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in the case of broker-dealers participating in the exchange offer, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act must be delivered by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed to furnish a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange offer. A broker-dealer that delivers such a prospectus to purchasers in connection with such resales will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

        We do not intend to seek our own interpretation regarding the exchange offer, and we cannot assure you that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes as it has in other interpretations to third parties.

Terms of the Exchange Offer; Period for Tendering Outstanding Old Notes

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus, we will accept any and all Old Notes that were acquired pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S 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 $5,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $5,000 principal amount of

19

---

Table of Contents

Old Notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $5,000.

        The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are the same as the form and terms of the outstanding Old Notes except that:

•

the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not have legends restricting their transfer; and



•

the Exchange Notes will not contain the registration rights and liquidated damages provisions contained in the outstanding Old Notes.

        The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

        We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to herein as the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

        We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when, as and if we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of our acceptance 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 Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of specified other events set forth in this prospectus, the certificates for any unaccepted Old Notes will be promptly returned, without expense, to the tendering holder.

        Holders who tender Old Notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Old 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" and "Transfer Taxes" below.

        The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 full business days. The term "expiration date" will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                          , 2011, 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.

        To extend the exchange offer, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date, we will:

•

notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral notice (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice, and



•

mail to the registered holders an announcement of any extension, and issue a notice by press release or other public announcement before such expiration date.

        We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

•

if any of the conditions below under the heading "Conditions to the Exchange Offer" shall have not been satisfied, to delay accepting any Old Notes, to extend the exchange offer, or to terminate the exchange offer, or



•

to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner, provided however, that if we amend the exchange offer to make a material change, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the exchange offer, if necessary, to keep the exchange offer open for at least five business days after such amendment or waiver; provided further, that if we amend the exchange offer to change the percentage of Notes being exchanged or the consideration being offered, we

20

---

Table of Contents

will extend the exchange offer, if necessary, to keep the exchange offer open for at least ten business days after such amendment or waiver.

        Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice by us to the registered holders.

Deemed Representations

        To participate in the exchange offer, we require that you represent to us that:

•

you or any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes in the exchange offer is acquiring them in the ordinary course of business;



•

neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes in the exchange offer is engaging in or intends to engage in (or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in) a distribution of the Exchange Notes within the meaning of the federal securities laws;



•

neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes is our "affiliate" as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act;



•

if you or another person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes is a broker-dealer and you acquired the Old Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes;



•

you are not a broker-dealer tendering Old Notes directly acquired from us for your own account; and



•

you are not acting on behalf of any person or entity that could not truthfully make those representations.

        BY TENDERING YOUR OLD NOTES YOU ARE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THESE REPRESENTATIONS.

        Broker-dealers who cannot make the representations above cannot use this exchange offer prospectus in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer.

        If you are our "affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, if you are a broker-dealer who acquired your Old Notes in the initial offering and not as a result of market-making or trading activities, or if you are engaged in or intend to engage in or have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange offer, you or that person:

•

may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC and therefore may not participate in the exchange offer; and



•

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom when reselling the Old Notes.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Through Brokers and Banks

        Since the Old Notes are represented by global book-entry notes, DTC, as depositary, or its nominee is treated as the registered holder of the Old Notes and will be the only entity that can tender your Old Notes for Exchange Notes. Therefore, to tender Old Notes subject to this exchange offer and to obtain Exchange Notes, you must instruct the institution where you keep your Old Notes to tender your Old Notes on your behalf so that they are received on or prior to the expiration of this exchange offer.

21

---

Table of Contents

        The letter of transmittal that may accompany this prospectus may be used by you to give such instructions.

        YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR OLD NOTES TO DETERMINE THE PREFERRED PROCEDURE.

        IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THIS EXCHANGE OFFER, PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER OR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE IN TIME FOR YOUR OLD NOTES TO BE TENDERED BEFORE THE 5:00 PM (NEW YORK CITY TIME) DEADLINE ON                            , 2011.

        You may tender some or all of your Old Notes in this exchange offer. However, your Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $5,000.

        When you tender your outstanding Old Notes and we accept them, the tender will be a binding agreement between you and us as described in this prospectus.

        The method of delivery of outstanding Old Notes and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk.

        We will decide all questions about the validity, form, eligibility, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes, and our reasonable determination will be final and binding on you. We reserve the absolute right to:

•

reject any and all tenders of any particular Old Note not properly tendered;



•

refuse to accept any Old Note if, in our reasonable judgment or the judgment of our counsel, the acceptance would be unlawful; and



•

waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular Old Notes before the expiration of the offer.

        Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer will be final and binding on all parties. You must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes as we will reasonably determine. Neither us, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to notify you of any defect or irregularity with respect to your tender of Old Notes. If we waive any terms or conditions with respect to a noteholder, we will extend the same waiver to all noteholders with respect to that term or condition being waived.

Procedures for Brokers and Custodian Banks; DTC ATOP Account

        In order to accept this exchange offer on behalf of a holder of Old Notes you must submit or cause your DTC participant to submit an Agent's Message as described below.

        The exchange agent, on our behalf will seek to establish an Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") account with respect to the outstanding Old Notes at DTC promptly after the delivery of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant, including your broker or bank, may make book-entry tender of outstanding Old Notes by causing the book-entry transfer of such Old Notes into our ATOP account in accordance with DTC's procedures for such transfers. Concurrently with the delivery of Old Notes, an Agent's Message in connection with such book-entry transfer must be transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent on or prior to 5:00 pm, New York City Time on the expiration date. The confirmation of a book entry transfer into the ATOP account as described above is referred to herein as a "Book-Entry Confirmation."

        The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the DTC participants to DTC, and thereafter transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent, forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC described

22

---

Table of Contents

in such Agent's Message stating that such participant and beneficial holder agree to be bound by the terms of this exchange offer.

        Each Agent's Message must include the following information:

•

Name of the beneficial owner tendering such Old Notes;



•

Account number of the beneficial owner tendering such Old Notes;



•

Principal amount of Old Notes tendered by such beneficial owner; and



•

A confirmation that the beneficial holder of the Old Notes tendered has made the representations for our benefit set forth under "Deemed Representations" above.

        BY SENDING AN AGENT'S MESSAGE THE DTC PARTICIPANT IS DEEMED TO HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THE BENEFICIAL HOLDER FOR WHOM NOTE ARE BEING TENDERED HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

        The delivery of Old Notes through DTC, and any transmission of an Agent's Message through ATOP, is at the election and risk of the person tendering Old Notes. We will ask the exchange agent to instruct DTC to promptly return those Old Notes, if any, that were tendered through ATOP but were not accepted by us, to the DTC participant that tendered such Old Notes on behalf of holders of the Old Notes.

Acceptance of Outstanding Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

        We will accept validly tendered Old Notes when the conditions to the exchange offer have been satisfied or we have waived them. We will have accepted your validly tendered Old Notes when we have given oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice 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 we do not accept any tendered Old Notes for exchange by book-entry transfer because of an invalid tender or other valid reason, we will credit the Notes to an account maintained with DTC promptly after the exchange offer terminates or expires.

        THE AGENT'S MESSAGE MUST BE TRANSMITTED TO EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR BEFORE 5:00 PM, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Withdrawal Rights

        You may withdraw your tender of outstanding notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

        For a withdrawal to be effective, you should contact your bank or broker where your Old Notes are held and have them send an ATOP notice of withdrawal so that it is received by the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Such notice of withdrawal must:

•

specify the name of the person that tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn;



•

identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn, including the CUSIP number and principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes; specify the name and number of an account at the DTC to which your withdrawn Old Notes can be credited.

        We will decide all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of the notices and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any tendered Old Notes that you withdraw will not be considered to have been validly tendered. We will promptly return any outstanding Old Notes that have been tendered but not exchanged, or credit them to the DTC account. You may re-tender properly withdrawn Old Notes by following one of the procedures described above before the expiration date.

(1)

any general suspension of or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market; or

Table of Contents

offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than broker-dealers and any such holder which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes; or

•

a stop order shall have been issued by the SEC or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or proceedings shall have been initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose, or any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we shall, in our sole reasonable discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer as contemplated hereby; or



•

we have received an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there exists any actual or threatened legal impediment (including a default or prospective default under an agreement, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which we are a party or by which we are bound) to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer.

        If we determine in our sole reasonable discretion that any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the exchange offer (whether or not any Old Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of the exchange offer in any respect. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the Old Notes and will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions, or we may waive them, in whole or in part, in our sole reasonable discretion, provided that we will not waive any condition with respect to an individual holder of Old Notes unless we waive that condition for all such holders. Any reasonable determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be a waiver of our rights and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time before the expiration of the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent

        We have appointed Law Debenture Trust Company of New York as the exchange agent for the exchange offer.

Transfer Taxes

        If you tender outstanding Old Notes for exchange you will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes. However, if you instruct us to register Exchange Notes in the name of, or request that your Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder, you will be responsible for paying any transfer tax owed.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

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

•

to us upon redemption thereof or otherwise;



•

so long as the outstanding securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person inside the United States who 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;



•

outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or



•

        YOU MAY SUFFER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU FAIL TO EXCHANGE OUTSTANDING OLD NOTES.

        If you do not tender your outstanding Old Notes, you will not have any further registration rights, except for the rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement and described above, and your Old Notes will continue to be subject to the provisions of the indenture governing the Old Notes regarding transfer and exchange of the Old Notes and the restrictions on transfer of the Old Notes imposed by the Securities Act and states securities law when we complete the exchange offer. These transfer restrictions are required because the Old Notes were issued under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, if you do not tender your Old Notes in the exchange offer, your ability to sell your Old Notes could be adversely affected. Once we have completed the exchange offer, holders who have not tendered notes will not continue to be entitled to any increase in interest rate that the indenture governing the Old Notes provides for if we do not complete the exchange offer.

        Under certain limited circumstances, the Registration Rights Agreement requires that we file a shelf registration statement if:

•

we are not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy to file a registration statement covering the exchange offer or to consummate the exchange offer; or



•

any holder of the Old Notes notifies the issuer prior to the 20th calendar day following the consummation of the exchange offer that:



•

it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer;



•

it may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and this prospectus is not appropriate or available for such resales; or



•

it is a broker-dealer and owns Old Notes acquired directly from the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer.

        We will also register the Exchange Notes under the securities laws of jurisdictions that holders may request before offering or selling notes in a public offering. We do not intend to register Exchange Notes in any jurisdiction unless a holder requests that we do so.

        Old Notes may be subject to restrictions on transfer until:

•

a person other than a broker-dealer has exchanged the Old Notes in the exchange offer;



•

a broker-dealer has exchanged the Old Notes in the exchange offer and sells them to a purchaser that receives a prospectus from the broker, dealer on or before the sale;



•

the Old Notes are sold under an effective shelf registration statement that we have filed; or



•

the Old Notes are sold to the public under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN OTHER INDEBTEDNESS AND PREFERRED STOCK

Senior Secured Credit Facility

        On June 30, 2010, NRG amended and restated its existing senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility consists of a senior first priority secured term loan (the "Term Loan Facility"), a senior first priority secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), and a senior first priority secured term-loan backed letter of credit facility (the "Funded Letter of Credit Facility"). As a result of this amendment, NRG extended the maturity date for approximately $1.0 billion of the approximately $2.0 billion outstanding Term Loan Facility to August 31, 2015 and the remaining amount is due on the original maturity date of February 1, 2013. In addition, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $875 million from $1.0 billion, and its maturity date was extended to August 31, 2015. Finally, the existing synthetic letter of credit facility was converted into the Funded Letter of Credit Facility, reflected as a non-current liability and the proceeds thereof reflected as non-current restricted cash on NRG's balance sheet. Of the total $1.3 billion borrowed under the Funded Letter of Credit Facility, $800 million will mature on August 31, 2015 and $500 will mature on the original maturity date of February 1, 2013.

        As of September 30, 2010, NRG had issued $850 million of letters of credit under the Funded Letter of Credit Facility, leaving $450 million available for future issuances. Under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010, NRG had issued a letter of credit of $36 million, leaving $839 million available.

        Since 2008, NRG has been required to annually offer a portion of its excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) to its first lien lenders under the Term Loan Facility. The percentage of the excess cash flow offered to these lenders is dependent upon NRG's consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) at the end of the preceding year. Of the amount offered, the first lien lenders must accept 50%, while the remaining 50% may either be accepted or rejected at the first lien lenders' option. The 2010 mandatory offer for 2009 was $429 million of which NRG made a prepayment of $200 million in December 2009. In March 2010, NRG made the remaining repayment of approximately $229 million. The 2009 mandatory offer related to 2008 was $197 million.

        The Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of NRG's existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for foreign subsidiaries, project subsidiaries, and certain other subsidiaries. The capital stock of substantially all of NRG's subsidiaries, with certain exceptions for unrestricted subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries, project subsidiaries and voting equity interests in excess of 66% of the total outstanding voting equity interest of certain of NRG's foreign subsidiaries, has been pledged for the benefit of the Senior Credit Facility's lenders.

        The Senior Credit Facility is also secured by first-priority perfected security interests in substantially all of the property and assets owned or acquired by NRG and its domestic subsidiaries, other than certain limited exceptions. These exceptions include assets of certain unrestricted subsidiaries and equity interests in certain of NRG's project affiliates that have non-recourse debt financing.

        The Senior Credit Facility contains customary covenants, which, among other things, require NRG to meet certain financial tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio on a consolidated basis, and limit NRG's ability to:

•

incur indebtedness and liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions;



•

make investments, loans and advances;



•

return capital to shareholders;

31

---

Table of Contents

•

repay other indebtedness;



•

consummate mergers, consolidations and asset sales; and



•

enter into affiliate transactions.

        In connection with the Senior Credit Facility, NRG entered into a series of forward-setting interest rate swaps in 2006 and 2009 which are intended to hedge the risks associated with floating interest rates. For each of the interest rate swaps, NRG pays its counterparty the equivalent of a fixed interest payment on a predetermined notional value, and NRG receives quarterly the equivalent of a floating interest payment based on a three-month LIBOR calculated on the same notional value. All interest rate swap payments by NRG and its counterparties are made quarterly, and the LIBOR is determined in advance of each interest period. While the notional value of each of the swaps does not vary over time, the swaps are designed to mature sequentially.

Senior Notes

        NRG has issued four outstanding series of senior notes under an indenture, dated February 2, 2006 (the "Base Indenture"), between NRG and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, as supplemented by supplemental indentures setting forth the terms of each such series:

•

7.250% senior notes, issued February 2, 2006 and due February 1, 2014 (the "2014 Senior Notes");



•

7.375% senior notes, issued February 2, 2006 and due February 1, 2016 (the "2016 Senior Notes");



•

7.375% senior notes, issued November 21, 2006 and due January 15, 2017 (the "2017 Senior Notes"); and



•

8.500% senior notes, issued June 5, 2009 and due June 15, 2019 (the "2019 Senior Notes," and, together with the 2014 Senior Notes, the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes").

        Supplemental indentures to each series of notes have been issued to add newly formed or acquired subsidiaries as guarantors (together with the base indenture, the "Indentures").

        The Indentures and the form of notes provide, among other things, that the Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of NRG. The Indentures also provide for customary events of default, which include, among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in the Indentures; defaults in failure to pay certain other indebtedness; the rendering of judgments to pay certain amounts of money against NRG and its subsidiaries; the failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding series of Senior Notes may declare all of the Senior Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately.

        The terms of the Indentures, among other things, limit NRG's ability and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to:

•

incur additional debt or issue some types of preferred shares;



•

declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders;



•

create liens;



•

make certain restricted investments;



•

enter into transactions with affiliates;

32

---

Table of Contents

•

sell or transfer assets; and



•

consolidate or merge.

        Interest is payable semi-annually on the Senior Notes until their maturity dates.

        On or after February 1, 2010, NRG may redeem some or all of the 2014 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

        Prior to February 1, 2011, NRG may redeem all or a portion of the 2016 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus a premium and accrued interest. The premium is the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the present value of 103.688% of the notes redeemed, plus interest payments due on the notes redeemed from the date of redemption through February 1, 2011, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the notes redeemed. On or after February 1, 2011, NRG may redeem some or all of the notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

        Prior to January 15, 2012, NRG may redeem all or a portion of the 2017 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus a premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the present value of 103.688% of the notes redeemed, plus interest payments due on the notes redeemed from the date of redemption through January 15, 2012, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the notes redeemed. On or after January 15, 2012, NRG may redeem some or all of the notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

        Prior to June 15, 2012, NRG may redeem up to 35% of the 2019 Senior Notes with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price of 108.50% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, provided at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued remain outstanding after the redemption. Prior to June 15, 2014, NRG may redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus a premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the present value of 104.25% of the notes redeemed, plus interest payments due on the notes redeemed from the date of redemption through June 15, 2014, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50% over the principal amount of the notes redeemed. On or after January 15, 2014, NRG may redeem some or all of the notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

Preferred Stock

        As of September 30, 2010, NRG's outstanding preferred stock consisted of the 3.625% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "3.625% Preferred Stock"), which is treated as Redeemable Preferred Stock.

3.625% Preferred Stock

        On August 11, 2005, NRG issued 250,000 shares of 3.625% Preferred Stock, which is treated as Redeemable Preferred Stock, to the Credit Suisse Group in a private placement. As of September 30, 2010, 250,000 shares of the 3.625% Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at a liquidation value, net of issuance costs, of $248 million. The 3.625% Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of the 3.625% Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, out of legally available funds, cash dividends at the rate of 3.625% per annum, or $36.25 per share per year, payable in cash quarterly in arrears commencing on December 15, 2005.

33

---

Table of Contents

        Each share of the 3.625% Preferred Stock is convertible during the 90-day period beginning August 11, 2015 at the option of NRG or the holder. Holders tendering the 3.625% Preferred Stock for conversion shall be entitled to receive, for each share of 3.625% Preferred Stock converted, $1,000 in cash and a number of shares of NRG common stock equal to the product of (a) the greater of (i) the difference between the average closing share price of NRG common stock on each of the 20 consecutive scheduled trading days starting on the date 30 exchange business days immediately prior to the conversion date (the "Market Price"), and $29.54 and (ii) zero, times (b) 50.77. The number of NRG common stock to be delivered under the conversion feature is limited to 16,000,000 shares. If upon conversion, the Market Price is less than $19.69, then the Holder will deliver to NRG cash or a number of shares of NRG common stock equal in value to the product of (i) $19.69 minus the Market Price, times (ii) 50.77. NRG may elect to make a cash payment in lieu of delivering shares of NRG common stock in connection with such conversion, and NRG may elect to receive cash in lieu of shares of common stock, if any, from the Holder in connection with such conversion. The conversion feature is considered an embedded derivative per ASC 815 that is exempt from derivative accounting as it's excluded from the scope pursuant to ASC 815.

        If a fundamental change occurs, the holders will have the right to require NRG to repurchase all or a portion of the 3.625% Preferred Stock for a period of time after the fundamental change at a purchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The 3.625% Preferred Stock is senior to all classes of common stock and junior to all of NRG's existing and future debt obligations and all of NRG subsidiaries' existing and future liabilities and capital stock held by persons other than NRG or its subsidiaries.

Credit Support and Collateral Arrangement

        In connection with our power generation business, we manage the commodity price risk associated with our supply activities and our electric generation facilities. This includes forward power sales, fuel and energy purchases and emission credits. In order to manage these risks, we enter into financial instruments to hedge the variability in future cash flows from forecasted sales of electricity and purchases of fuel and energy. We utilize a variety of instruments including forward contracts, futures contracts, swaps and options. Certain of these contracts allow counterparties to require us to provide credit support. This credit support consists of letters of credit, cash, guarantees and liens on our assets.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

        In this description, "NRG" refers only to NRG Energy, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. NRG issued the Old Notes and will issue the Exchange Notes under a supplemental indenture, which, together with the related base indenture, we refer to as the "indenture." The terms of the Exchange Notes offered in exchange for the Old Notes will be substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related additional interest terms applicable to the Old Notes (as described under "Exchange Offer—Purpose of the Exchange Offer") will not apply to the Exchange Notes. As a result, we refer to the Exchange Notes and the Old Notes collectively as "notes" for purposes of the following summary.

        The statements under this caption relating to the indenture and the notes are summaries and are not a complete description thereof, and where reference is made to particular provisions, such provisions, including the definitions of certain terms, are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the indenture and the notes and those terms made part of the Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act. The definitions of certain capitalized terms used in the following summary are set forth under the caption "—Certain Definitions." Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture and the registration rights agreement. Copies of the indenture are available upon request from the Company. We urge you to read those documents carefully because they, and not the following description, govern your rights as a holder.

        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 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 unsecured obligations of NRG;



•

will be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of NRG;



•

will be pari passu in right of payment with the Existing Senior Notes;



•

will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of NRG; and



•

will be unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors.

        However, the notes will be effectively subordinated to all borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of NRG and the Guarantors, and any other secured Indebtedness (including any Hedging Obligations secured by junior liens on assets of NRG or its Subsidiaries) we have. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency, holders of our secured indebtedness and other secured obligations will have a prior secured claim to any collateral securing such indebtedness or other obligations."

The Subsidiary Guarantees

        The notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors. Each guarantee of the notes:

•

will be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;

35

---

Table of Contents

•

will be pari passu in right of payment with all unsecured senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor; and



•

will be senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor.

        However, each Guarantor's guarantee of the notes will be effectively subordinated to such Guarantor's guarantee under the Credit Agreement and any other secured Indebtedness (including any Hedging Obligations secured by junior liens on assets such Guarantor) of such Guarantor, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets of such Guarantor that secure the Credit Agreement or other secured Indebtedness, as the case may be.

        The operations of NRG are largely 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, lease obligations, indebtedness for borrowed money and hedging 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 its claims 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. The guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately 96% of NRG's revenues from wholly-owned operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The guarantor subsidiaries held approximately 85% of NRG's consolidated assets as of September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, NRG's non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $695 million in aggregate principal amount of external funded indebtedness and outstanding trade payables of approximately $535 million. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Your right to receive payments on the notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declare bankruptcy, liquidate, or reorganize." See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements of NRG for the period ended September 30, 2010 incorporated by reference into this prospectus for more detail about the historical division of NRG Energy, Inc.'s consolidated revenues and assets between the Guarantor and non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

        Under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted, Unrestricted and Excluded Project Subsidiaries," NRG will be permitted to designate certain of its subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" or "Excluded Project Subsidiaries." NRG's Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. NRG's Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Excluded Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        NRG will issue $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020 in this offering. NRG may issue additional notes of the same series under the indenture from time to time after this offering. Any issuance of additional notes is subject to all of the covenants in the indenture, including the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock." The notes and any additional notes of the same series 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. NRG will issue notes in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples of $5,000. The notes will mature on September 1, 2020.

36

---

Table of Contents

        Interest will accrue at the rate of 8.25% per annum, and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2011. NRG will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15.

        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.

        All references to "interest" in this description will be deemed to include all Special Interest payable pursuant to the registration rights agreement, if any.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

        If a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to NRG, NRG will pay or cause to be paid all principal, interest and premium 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 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—Risks Related to the Notes—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors."

        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

37

Table of Contents

Guarantor under the indenture, the registration rights agreement and its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to supplemental agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee under the indenture;

        (b)   the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or

        (c)   immediately after giving effect to that transaction, such Person qualifies as an Excluded Subsidiary.

        The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically:

        (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 Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG, if (a) the sale or other disposition does not violate the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture and (b) following such sale or other disposition, that Guarantor is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of NRG;

        (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)   the date that any Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary;

        (5)   upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes as provided below under the captions "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" and "—Satisfaction and Discharge";

        (6)   upon a dissolution of a Guarantor that is permitted under the indenture; or

        (7)   otherwise with respect to the Guarantee of any Guarantor, upon:

        (a)   the prior consent of holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding;

        (b)   the consent of requisite lenders under the Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, modified, renewed, refunded, replaced or refinanced from time to time) to the release of such Guarantor's Guarantee of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement; or

        (c)   the contemporaneous release of such Guarantor's Guarantee of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, modified, renewed, refunded, replaced or refinanced from time to time).

        See "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

Optional Redemption

        At any time prior to September 1, 2013, NRG may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at a redemption price of 108.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

        (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued in this offering (excluding notes held by NRG and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

38

Table of Contents

        (2)   the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

        At any time prior to September 1, 2015, NRG may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest if any, to the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders of notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        Except pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the notes will not be redeemable at NRG's option prior to September 1, 2015. NRG is not prohibited, however, from acquiring the notes in market transactions by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer or otherwise, assuming such action does not otherwise violate the indenture.

        On or after September 1, 2015, NRG may on any one or more occasions 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 on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 1 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:

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 Triggering Event

        If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require NRG to repurchase all or any part (equal to $5,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000) 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 the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes 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 Triggering Event, 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.

Table of Contents

        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 the 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 $5,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000. 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 Triggering Event 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 Triggering Event, 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 Triggering Event 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. A Change in Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement to effect a Change of Control is in place at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

        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. There is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," and 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 disposition of less than all of the assets of NRG and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

Asset Sales

        NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale 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; and

40

---

Table of Contents

        (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;

        (c)   any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (4) or (6) of the next paragraph of this covenant; and

        (d)   any Designated Noncash Consideration received by NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(2)(D) of the Existing Indenture since the Original Issue Date that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $500.0 million or (y) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

        Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, other than Excluded Proceeds, NRG (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply those Net Proceeds or, at its option, enter into a binding commitment to apply such Net Proceeds within the 365-day period following the date of such commitment (an "Acceptable Commitment"):

        (1)   to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under a Credit Facility and, if such Indebtedness is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

        (2)   in the case of a sale of assets pledged to secure Indebtedness (including Capital Lease Obligations), to repay the Indebtedness secured by those assets;

        (3)   in the case of an Asset Sale by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to repay Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to NRG or another Restricted Subsidiary of NRG);

        (4)   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 Restricted Subsidiary of NRG and a Guarantor;

        (5)   to make a capital expenditure;

        (6)   to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or

        (7)   any combination of the foregoing.

        Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds and notwithstanding clause (1) above, NRG may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise use the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

Table of Contents

        Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event that regulatory approval is necessary for an asset or investment, or construction, repair or restoration of any asset or investment has commenced, then NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have an additional 365 days to apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

        Any Acceptable Commitment that is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds if NRG or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment within the later of (a) nine months of such cancellation or termination or (b) the end of the initial 365-day period.

        Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales (other than Excluded Proceeds) that are not applied or invested as provided above will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million, or at such earlier date as may be selected by NRG, NRG will make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of notes and all holders of other Indebtedness (including Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Senior Notes) that is pari passu with the notes 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 other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest 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 pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness 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 compliance.

        The agreements governing NRG's other Indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement, contain, and future agreements 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 Triggering Event or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on NRG. In the event a Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale occurs at a time when NRG is prohibited from purchasing notes, NRG could seek the consent of its senior lenders 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 could, in turn, constitute a default under the 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—Risks Related to the Notes—We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the notes."

Selection and Notice

        If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee for the notes will select notes for redemption on a pro rata basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

        No notes of $5,000 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.

        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 Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade

        If on any date following the Issue Date:

        (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 in the indenture specifically listed under the following captions will be suspended as to the notes:

        (a)   "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales;"

        (b)   "—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments;"

        (c)   "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;"

        (d)   "—Certain Covenants—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries;"

        (e)   "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted, Unrestricted and Excluded Project Subsidiaries;"

        (f)    "—Certain Covenants—Transactions with Affiliates;" and

        (g)   clause (4) of the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—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 may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Excluded Project Subsidiaries pursuant to the covenant described below under the caption "—Designation of Restricted, Unrestricted and Excluded Project Subsidiaries," the second paragraph of the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary," or the definition of "Excluded Project Subsidiary," unless it could do so if the foregoing covenants were in effect.

43

Table of Contents

        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 related Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of NRG or any of its Subsidiaries will bear any liability under the indenture, the notes or the related Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants 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

        (4)   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;

        (2)   on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Restricted Payment and any transaction related thereto, the Debt to Cash Flow Ratio would not have exceeded 5.75 to 1.0; and

        (3)   such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Original Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

        (a)   Consolidated Cash Flow of NRG, minus 140% of Consolidated Interest Expense of NRG, in each case for the period (taken as one accounting period) from March 31, 2009 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, plus

        (b)   100% of the fair market value of any property or assets and the aggregate net cash proceeds in each case received by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Original Issue Date in exchange for Qualifying Equity Interests or from the issue or sale of Qualifying Equity Interests (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 Qualifying Equity Interests (other than Qualifying Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of NRG), plus

        (c)   to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after February 2, 2006 is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash after the Original Issue Date, the cash return with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) to the extent not already included in the Consolidated Cash Flow of NRG since the Original Issue Date, plus

        (d)   100% of any cash received by NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary of NRG after the Original Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of NRG, to the extent that such cash was not otherwise included in Consolidated Cash Flow of NRG for such period, plus

        (e)   to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of NRG is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Original Issue Date, the fair market value of NRG's Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation.

        The preceding provisions will not prohibit:

        (1)   the payment of any dividend within 90 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 aggregate 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 equity capital (unless such contribution would constitute Disqualified Stock) to NRG; provided that the amount of any such 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 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;

        (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 and the repurchases of Equity Interests in connection with the withholding of a portion of the Equity Interests granted or awarded to an employee to pay for the taxes payable by such employee upon such grant or award;

        (9)   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 a senior financial officer of NRG);

        (10) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale 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 Triggering Event" or "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales," as applicable (including the purchase of all notes tendered), any purchase, defeasance, retirement, redemption or other acquisition of Indebtedness that is contractually

subordinated to the notes or any subsidiary guarantee required under the terms of such Indebtedness, or any Disqualified Stock, with, in the case of an Asset Sale, Net Proceeds, as a result of such Change of Control Triggering Event or Asset Sale; and

        (11) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, other Restricted Payments since the Issue Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount available as of the Issue Date for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(b)(12) of the Existing Indenture.

        As of the Issue Date, the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause 3(a) of the second paragraph above was $1,680.0 million and the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (11) above was $640.0 million.

        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 a senior financial officer of NRG whose certification with respect thereto will be delivered to the trustee.

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 any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) 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 (including Acquired Debt) 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 $6.0 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 Issue Date with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales (other than Excluded Proceeds) 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 Issue Date as a result of the application of the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales (other than Excluded Proceeds), in each case in accordance with the covenant described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—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;

47

---

Table of Contents

        (3)   the incurrence by NRG and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date 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 or useful in the business of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or incurred within 180 days thereafter, 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 at any time outstanding 5.0% of Total Assets;

        (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), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19) and (21) 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;

        (9)   the guarantee by (i) NRG or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of NRG or a Guarantor 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 incurrence by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of (i) workers' compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers' acceptance and (ii) performance and surety bonds provided by NRG or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

        (12) the incurrence of Non-Recourse Debt by any Excluded Project Subsidiary,

        (13) 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;

        (14) the incurrence by NRG or any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG of Indebtedness represented by letters of credit, guarantees or other similar instruments supporting Hedging Obligations of NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) permitted to be incurred by the indenture;

        (a)   NRG would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant; or

        (b)   the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

        (16) Environmental CapEx Debt; provided, that prior to the incurrence of any Environmental CapEx Debt, NRG shall deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate designating such Indebtedness as Environmental CapEx Debt;

        (17) Indebtedness incurred to finance Necessary Capital Expenditures; provided, that prior to the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance Necessary Capital Expenditures, NRG shall deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate designating such Indebtedness as Necessary CapEx Debt;

Table of Contents

        (21) 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 (21), not to exceed $1.0 billion.

        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 (21) 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 the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date 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 restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced.

        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.

Antilayering

        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 Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other

Table of Contents

Indebtedness of NRG solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

Liens

        NRG will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under the indenture and the notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

        NRG will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction (other than a Permitted Tax Lease, which shall not be restricted by this covenant); 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 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 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 a senior financial officer 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 (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to:

        (1)   pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded 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 (other than Excluded Subsidiaries);

        (2)   make loans or advances to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries); or

        (3)   transfer any of its properties or assets to NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries).

        (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 connection with a Permitted 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;

        (14) with respect to clause (3) of the first paragraph of this covenant only, restrictions encumbering property at the time such property was acquired by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as such restriction relates solely to the property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition;

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 supplemental indentures duly executed by the applicable trustee;

        (2)   the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NRG) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of NRG under the notes, the registration rights agreement and the indenture pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

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) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of NRG or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than NRG) 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 or forming a direct holding company of NRG; 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") involving aggregate payments in excess of $10.0 million, 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 $75.0 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 $150.0 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 Independent Financial Advisor.

transaction shall be fair and reasonable and beneficial to NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and consistent with Prudent Industry Practice;

        (18) transactions relating to management, marketing, administrative or technical services between NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries, or between Restricted Subsidiaries;

        (19) any tax sharing agreement between or among NRG and its Subsidiaries so long as such tax sharing agreement is on fair and reasonable terms with respect to each participant therein; and

        (20) any agreement to do any of the foregoing.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

        If,

        NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or a Domestic Subsidiary that does not Guarantee any other Indebtedness of NRG) after the Issue Date,

•

any Excluded Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary after the Issue Date, or



•

any Domestic Subsidiary that does not Guarantee any other Indebtedness of NRG subsequently Guarantees other Indebtedness of NRG,

        then such newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary, former Excluded Subsidiary, or Domestic Subsidiary that subsequently Guarantees other Indebtedness of NRG, as the case may be, 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 or Guaranteed other Indebtedness of NRG, as the case may be.

Designation of Restricted, Unrestricted and Excluded Project Subsidiaries

        NRG may designate, by a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of NRG, 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. A Responsible Officer of NRG may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

        NRG may designate, by a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of NRG, any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Excluded Project Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Project Subsidiary is designated as an Excluded Project Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by NRG and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Excluded Project Subsidiary 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 Excluded Project Subsidiary. A Responsible

Table of Contents

Officer of NRG may redesignate any Excluded Project Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Project Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

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, the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all holders of 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any offer or payment of consideration for, or as an inducement to, any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture, the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with an exchange offer, NRG and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may exclude (i) holders or beneficial owners of the notes that are not institutional "accredited investors" as defined in subparagraphs (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and (ii) holders or beneficial owners of the notes in any jurisdiction (other than the United States) where the inclusion of such holders or beneficial owners would require NRG or any such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such jurisdiction, or the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment from, or the granting of such consent or waiver, or the approval of such amendment by, holders or beneficial owners in such jurisdiction would be unlawful, in each case as determined by NRG in its sole discretion.

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 (including any extensions thereof) 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, 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). To the extent such filings are made, the reports will be deemed to be furnished to the trustee and holders of notes.

        If 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.

Events of Default and Remedies

        Each of the following is an Event of Default with respect to the notes:

        (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;

        (2)   default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes;

        (3)   failure by NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 45 days after written notice given by the trustee or holders, to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;

        (4)   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 Issue Date, 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 $150.0 million or more; provided that this clause (4) 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 Indebtedness to a Person that is not an Affiliate of NRG; (ii) Non-Recourse Debt of NRG Peaker Finance Company LLC; and (iii) Non-Recourse Debt of NRG or any of its Subsidiaries (except to the extent that NRG or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not parties to such Non-Recourse Debt becomes directly or indirectly liable, including pursuant to any contingent obligation, for any such Non-Recourse Debt and such liability, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $150.0 million);

        (5)   one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $150.0 million (excluding therefrom any amount reasonably expected to be covered by insurance) shall be rendered against NRG, any Restricted Subsidiary of NRG that is not an Excluded Project Subsidiary or any combination thereof and the same shall not have been paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment became final and non-appealable;

        (6)   except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any final and non-appealable 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

        (7)   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 with respect to the notes 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 the 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 notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.

        Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the applicable trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under the indenture, 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 the 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 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 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 on, or the principal of, such 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 or the Subsidiary Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

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 the notes that are outstanding and all obligations of the Guarantors of such notes discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

        (1)   the rights of holders of notes that are then outstanding to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium on the 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 for the notes, and NRG's and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and

        (4)   the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture for the notes.

        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 and insolvency events) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.

        In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

        (1)   NRG must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, 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, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on such notes that are then outstanding on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and NRG must specify whether such notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

        (2)   in the case of Legal Defeasance, NRG has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) NRG has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the notes that are then outstanding will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

        (3)   in the case of Covenant Defeasance, NRG has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders of notes that are then outstanding will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

60

Table of Contents

        (4)   no Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

        (5)   such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which NRG or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which NRG or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

        (6)   NRG must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by NRG with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of NRG with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of NRG or others; and

        (7)   NRG must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

        Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes outstanding thereunder may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes outstanding thereunder may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes that are then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the notes).

        Without the consent of each holder of notes affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any such notes held by a non-consenting holder):

        (1)   reduce the principal amount of such notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

        (2)   reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any such note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of such notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders");

        (3)   reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such note;

        (4)   waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on such notes (except a rescission of acceleration of such notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of such notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

        (5)   make any such note payable in currency other than that stated in such notes;

        (6)   make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of such notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium on such notes;

        (7)   waive a redemption payment with respect to any such note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders"); or

Table of Contents

        Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of notes, NRG, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the notes:

        (2)   to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

        (3)   to provide for the assumption of NRG's obligations to holders of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of NRG's assets;

        (4)   to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under any indenture of any such holder;

        (5)   to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

        (6)   to conform the text of the indenture or the notes to any provision of this "Description of the Notes" to the extent that such provision in this "Description of the Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture or the notes;

        (7)   to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the indenture of a successor trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof;

        (8)   to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the date hereof; or

        (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 such 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 such notes for cancellation; or

        (b)   all such 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 of notes, 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 accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

        (2)   no Default or Event of Default under the indenture 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;

Table of Contents

        (3)   NRG or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the indenture; and

        (4)   NRG has delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

        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.

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 such 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.

Registration Rights; Special Interest

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement. It does not restate that agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the registration rights agreement in its entirety because it, and not this description, defines your registration rights as holders of the notes. See "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation by Reference."

        NRG, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers entered into the registration rights agreement in connection with the closing of the offering of the Old Notes. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, NRG and the Guarantors agreed to file with the SEC the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in the registration rights agreement) on the appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to the Exchange Notes. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, NRG and the Guarantors will offer to the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer (as defined in the registration rights agreement) who are able to make certain representations the opportunity to exchange their Registrable Securities for Exchange Notes.

        If:

        (1)   NRG and the Guarantors are not

        (a)   required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or

        (b)   permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy; or

        (2)   any holder of Registrable Securities notifies NRG prior to the 20th business day following consummation of the Exchange Offer that:

        (a)   it is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange Offer;

63

Table of Contents

        (b)   it may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or

        (c)   it is a broker-dealer and owns notes acquired directly from NRG or an affiliate of NRG,

        NRG and the Guarantors will file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the registration rights agreement) to cover resales of the notes by the holders of the notes who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement.

        For purposes of the preceding, "Registrable Securities" means each note until the earliest to occur of:

        (1)   the date on which such note has been exchanged by a Person other than a broker-dealer for an Exchange Note in the Exchange Offer;

        (2)   following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer of a note for an Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement;

        (3)   the date on which such note has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement; or

        (4)   the date on which such note is actually sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that a note will not cease to be a Registrable Security for purposes of the Exchange Offer by virtue of this clause (4).

        The registration rights agreement provides that:

        (1)   unless prohibited by applicable law or regulations of the SEC, NRG and the Guarantors will file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to 180 days after the closing of this offering;

        (2)   NRG and the Guarantors will use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 270 days after the closing of this offering;

        (3)   unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or SEC policy, NRG and the Guarantors will:

        (a)   commence the Exchange Offer; and

        (b)   use all commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days, or longer, if required by applicable 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 prior thereto in the Exchange Offer; and

        (4)   if obligated to file the Shelf Registration Statement, NRG and the Guarantors will use all commercially reasonable efforts to file the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises and to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 90 days after such obligation arises.

        If:

        (1)   NRG and the Guarantors fail to file any of the registration statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing;

64

---

Table of Contents

        (2)   any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the "Effectiveness Target Date");

        (3)   NRG and the Guarantors fail to consummate the Exchange Offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or

        (4)   the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Entitled Securities during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (1) through (4) above, a "Registration Default"),

then NRG and the Guarantors will pay Special Interest to each holder of Registrable Securities until all Registration Defaults have been cured.

        With respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default, Special Interest will be paid in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Registrable Securities outstanding. The amount of the Special Interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Special Interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum of the principal amount of the Registrable Securities outstanding.

        All accrued Special Interest will be paid by NRG and the Guarantors on the next scheduled interest payment date to DTC or its nominee by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to holders of Certificated Notes by wire transfer to the accounts specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified.

        Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Special Interest will cease.

        Holders of notes will be required to make certain representations to NRG (as described in the registration rights agreement) in order to participate in the Exchange Offer and will be required to deliver certain information to be used in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and to provide comments on the Shelf Registration Statement within the time periods set forth in the registration rights agreement in order to have their notes included in the Shelf Registration Statement and benefit from the provisions regarding Special Interest set forth above. By acquiring Registrable Securities, a holder will be deemed to have agreed to indemnify NRG and the Guarantors against certain losses arising out of information furnished by such holder in writing for inclusion in any Shelf Registration Statement. Holders of notes will also be required to suspend their use of the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement under certain circumstances upon receipt of written notice to that effect from NRG.

BOOK ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

        The Exchange Notes will be initially represented by one or more notes in registered global form without interest coupons (the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited 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 the credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. We expect that, pursuant to procedures established by DTC, (i) upon the issuance of the Global Notes, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Notes to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary ("participants") and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Such accounts initially will be designated by or on behalf of the initial purchasers and ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be limited to participants or persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the Global Notes directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such system.

        So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of the notes, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Notes for all purposes under the indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Notes will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture with respect to the notes.

        Payments of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the Global Notes will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of the issuer, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

        We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on the Global Notes, will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

        Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC's same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds.

        DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction.

        DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under New York banking law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York banking law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for issues of U.S. and

90

---

Table of Contents

non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues that participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to the DTC system is also available to indirect participants such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

        Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of us, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Securities

        A Global Note is exchangeable for certificated notes in fully registered form without interest coupons ("Certificated Securities") only in the following limited circumstances:

•

DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and we fail to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice, or



•

there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default with respect to the notes under the indenture and DTC shall have requested the issuance of Certificated Securities.

        The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer the notes will be limited to such extent.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer. It does not contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This summary is limited to holders of Old Notes who hold the Old Notes as "capital assets" (in general, assets held for investment). Special situations, such as the following, are not addressed:

•

tax consequences to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, such as tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities or currencies, banks, other financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;



•

tax consequences to persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale or conversion transaction or a straddle or other risk reduction transaction;



•

tax consequences to holders whose "functional currency" is not the United States dollar;



•

tax consequences to persons who hold notes through a partnership or similar pass-through entity;



•

United States federal gift tax, estate tax or alternative minimum tax consequences, if any; or



•

any state, local or non-United States tax consequences.

        The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereunder, as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

Consequences of Tendering Old Notes

        The exchange of your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer should not constitute an exchange for United States federal income tax purposes because the Exchange Notes should not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Old Notes. Accordingly, the Exchange Offer should have no United States federal income tax consequences to you if you exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes. For example, there should be no change in your tax basis and your holding period should carry over to the Exchange Notes. In addition, the United States federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of your Exchange Notes should be the same as those applicable to your Old Notes.

        The preceding discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations of the Exchange Offer is for general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, each investor should consult its own tax advisor as to particular tax consequences to it of exchanging Old Notes for Exchange Notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws, and of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each 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 Exchange Notes.

        This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Old Notes if the Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

        We have agreed to make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer to use in connection with any such resale for a period of at least 180 days after the expiration date. In addition, until (90 days after the date of this prospectus), all broker-dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by 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; or



•

through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale.

        These resales may be made:

•

at market prices prevailing at the time of resale;



•

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or



•

at negotiated prices.

        Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers. Brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. An "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act includes:

•

any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer; or



•

any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes.

        Any profit on any resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any 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 broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of not less than 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests those documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to performance of our obligations in connection with the exchange offer, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers. We will indemnify the holders of the Exchange Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and will contribute to payments that they may be required to make in request thereof.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Delaware

        Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred provided they act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation, indemnification is limited to expenses and is not permitted if the individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless the court determines otherwise. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        Article NINE of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the limitation of liability of directors and for the indemnification of directors and officers. Article NINE states that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and except as otherwise provided in our Amended and Restated By-laws, (i) no director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its stockholders; and (ii) the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors.

        Set forth below are material provisions of Article FIVE of our by-laws that authorize the indemnification of directors and officers:

•

Section 1 of Article FIVE provides that our directors and officers shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. In addition, this right of indemnification continues to persons who have ceased to be our directors or officers and to his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall not indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee except to the extent such proceeding was authorized in writing by the Board of Directors of the Company.



•

Section 3 of Article FIVE provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.



•

Section 5 of Article FIVE provides that the rights to indemnification conferred in Article FIVE of our by-laws and in our certificate of incorporation shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        The charter documents of each of NRG Generation Holdings, Inc. and Texas Genco Financing Corp. provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

        The bylaws of NRG Generation Holdings, Inc. provide, subject to certain exceptions, for the indemnification of all current and former directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in connection with actions (other than actions by or in the right of

California

        Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law ("CAGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation to grant, indemnity to officers, directors and other agents for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation or in a proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an officer, director, or agent of the corporation. Indemnity is available where the person party to a proceeding or action acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders and, with respect to criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. To the extent a corporation's officer, director or agent is successful on the merits in the defense of any proceeding or any claim, issue or related matter, that person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred. Under Section 317 of the CAGCL, expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the corporation prior to the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the officer, director, employee or agent to repay that amount if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. Indemnifications are to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or by approval of members not including those persons to be indemnified, or by the court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by either the corporation, the agent, the attorney, or other person rendering services in connection with the defense. The indemnification provided by Section 317 is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled.

        The bylaws of Eastern Sierra Energy Company provide, subject to certain exceptions, to the fullest extent permissible under California law, for the indemnification of all current and former directors and officers in connection with actions to which such person is a party by reason of the fact that he or she was a director or officer of the corporation, except that the corporation shall only be required to indemnify a person for an action initiated by that person if the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors.

Texas

        Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act ("TXBCA") authorizes a Texas corporation to indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding, including any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative because the person is or was a director. The TXBCA provides that unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise, indemnification is permitted only if it is determined that the person (1) conducted himself in good faith; (2) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director of the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests; and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person may be indemnified under Article 2.02-1 of the TXBCA against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person (including court costs and attorneys' fees), but if the person is found liable to the corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred and shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the person has been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation. A corporation is obligated under Article 2.02-1 of the TXBCA to indemnify a director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he is named defendant or respondent because he is or was director or officer if he has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. Under Article 2.02-1 of the TXBCA a corporation may (1) indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, agent or other persons who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another entity to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to its directors, (2) indemnify and advance expenses to directors and such other persons identified in (1) to such further extent, consistent with law, as may be provided in the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, action of its board of directors, or contract or as

permitted by common law and (3) purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of directors and such other persons identified in (1) against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person.

        The bylaws of Texas Genco Holdings, Inc. provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Texas law. The bylaws also provide the company may indemnify any other agent of the company in connection with their agency to the fullest extent permissible under Texas law.

        Article 2.20 of the Texas Limited Liability Company Act authorizes a limited liability company to indemnify members and managers, officers, and other persons and purchase and maintain liability insurance for such persons. To the extent that at law or in equity, a member, manager, officer, or other person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to a limited liability company or to another member or manager, such duties and liabilities may be expanded or restricted by provisions in the regulations.

        The regulations of Texas Genco GP, LLC provide for indemnification of members, managers, officers, employees or agents of the company to the full extent permissible under Texas law who are party to any action by reason of the indemnitee's relation to the company, provided the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, did not have reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee's conduct was unlawful.

        Article 11 of the Texas Revised Limited Partnership Act ("TRLPA") provides for the indemnification of a general partner, limited partner, employee or agent by the limited partnership under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their being or having been a general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of the limited partnership. Under the TRLPA, a limited partnership may purchase insurance on behalf of a general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of the limited partnership against any liability incurred regardless of whether the person could be indemnified under the TLRPA.

        The limited partnership agreements of NRG South Texas LP and Texas Genco Services, LP provide for the indemnification of any general partner, limited partner, employee or agent of the partnership to the fullest extent permissible under Texas law in any action to which the indemnitee becomes, or is threatened to be made, a respondent or defendant because of the indemnitee's relation to the partnership. The partnerships may also purchase insurance against any liabilities incurred with regard to a general partner, limited partner, employee or agent.

Item 21.    Exhibits.

Item 22.    Undertakings.

        (a)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

        (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;

         (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; and

        (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)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

        (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

        (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

          (i)  Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

         (ii)  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

        (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,

II-6

Table of Contents

the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

          (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

         (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

        (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

        (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

        (b)   Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of such annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 15, or otherwise, each of the registrants has 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 such registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the 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, such registrant 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.
