Homer City shall be responsible for payment with respect to all work performed prior to the date hereof under the EPC Purchase Orders and the BOP Agreements. In addition, with respect to those EPC Purchase Orders and BOP Agreements not yet fully performed by the applicable counterparties thereto, and such other purchase orders as may be subsequently issued by Homer City, (i) Homer City shall continue to perform all of its obligations thereunder, other than payment and indemnity obligations with respect to work performed after the date hereof, which shall be for the account of the EPC Counterparty and (ii) subject to obtaining required third party consents, Homer City and the EPC Counterparty shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such EPC Purchase Order or BOP Agreement to be terminated and replaced with a new purchase order or agreement directly between EFS

Homer City and the applicable counterparty, on substantially the same terms and conditions as apply to the original.

For sake of clarity, and without limiting Section 9.2 of this Agreement, for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, the fact that GE may have requested that Homer City pursue any particular Implementation Transaction shall not prevent GE from requesting that Homer City pursue any other Implementation Transaction or an Alternative Transaction (including following the consummation of any Sublease); provided, however, that GE agrees that once an Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction (other than any Sublease) has been signed (whether or not such Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction has been consummated), GE will not request that Homer City pursue any other Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction for so long as the parties are actively pursuing the consummation thereof unless GE shall have reasonably determined that it is reasonably likely that a condition to the closing of such Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction is not capable of being satisfied in a reasonably timely fashion.

Section 4.2.    Debt Party Consent. If, in connection with any Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction, GE shall seek any consent or waiver from the holders of the notes issued under the Lease Indentures and/or the holders of the bonds issued under the Fundco Indenture, or any other Lease Indenture Secured Party under the Operative Documents, to any waiver of, or amendment to, any provisions of the Operative Documents, Homer City shall, upon GE’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are reasonably requested by GE in connection with obtaining any such consents or waivers.

Section 4.3.    Assistance with Tender Offer. In the event that GE or any of its Affiliates or designees launch a tender offer for the purchase of the bonds issued under the Fundco Indenture, then, at GE’s request, Homer City shall provide, at Homer City’s cost and expense, all such assistance and cooperation in connection with any such tender offer as is reasonably requested by GE and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist GE in the completion of any such tender offer (it being understood and agreed, that in no event shall such efforts require the payment of any amount by Homer City other than for its own costs and expenses).

Section 4.4.    Release of Confidentiality Restrictions. Homer City acknowledges that the consummation of any of the transactions described in Article IV hereof may require the dissemination and disclosure of information that, pursuant to Section 17.19 of each Participation Agreement, Section 10.11 of this Agreement, and certain other confidentiality agreements and provisions, is required to be kept confidential (collectively, the “Confidentiality Provisions”). Homer City shall, to the extent in its control, waive any such Confidentiality Provisions to the extent reasonably requested by GE in connection with the implementation of any such

transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall Homer City be required to waive (or be deemed to have waived) any Confidentiality Provision to the extent the information subject to such Confidentiality Provision is required by contract or applicable law, regulation or legal process to remain confidential in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that Homer City agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, at GE’s reasonable request, to obtain consent to the waiver of any Confidentiality Provisions that are required by contract to remain confidential.

Section 4.5.    Assistance with Rating Agency Review. If GE or any of its Affiliates seek rating agency review of the bonds issued pursuant to the Fundco Indenture (including in connection with any credit enhancement), then, at GE’s request, Homer City shall provide such reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection with any such rating agency review as is reasonably requested by GE and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist GE in the completion of any such rating agency review. The parties agree that any fees, costs and expenses of the ratings agencies shall be borne by GE.

Section 4.6.    Section 467 Loan Balance. Homer City acknowledges and agrees that the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not alter, modify, change, amend or waive any obligation of GE to pay any Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance and that no Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance or Lessor Section 467 Interest shall be due or payable solely as result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the treatment of the Lessor Section 467 Loan Balance and any Lessor Section 467 Interest in connection with the consummation of any Implementation Transaction shall be addressed in the Annex relating to such Implementation Transaction.

Section 5.1.    Transition Services Agreement. In connection with any Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction, EME and GE (or a designee of GE) shall enter into a mutually acceptable transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”); provided, that is understood, acknowledged and agreed that (1) for services provided by EME and its Affiliates (other than Edison Mission Marketing & Trading, Inc. (“EMMT”)) that have historically had costs allocated to Homer City, the amounts payable therefor under the Transition Services Agreement shall be consistent with the past practice of allocating such costs to Homer City, (2) the costs of any services provided by EMMT to Homer City shall be mutually agreed by the relevant parties and (3) costs in respect of certain services provided by EME and its Affiliates have not previously been allocated to Homer City and that costs with respect to such services shall be mutually agreed in the Transition Services Agreement by the relevant parties.

Section 8.1.    General Indemnity by Homer City in Favor of GE.     Homer City hereby covenants and agrees that upon GE’s demand, it will pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless GE and its Affiliates, on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all losses (other than any claim relating to any Taxes) which may at any time or from time to time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against GE or its Affiliates directly

resulting from or arising out of the untruthfulness of any of Homer City’s representations or warranties contained herein.

When seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, GE shall give prompt written notice together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading to Homer City of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity is sought hereunder and will give Homer City such information with respect thereto as Homer City may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve Homer City of any liability hereunder (except to the extent Homer City suffers actual prejudice thereby). Upon written request by GE, Homer City shall take appropriate action to contest the claim. Homer City may, at its expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding involving a third party. Homer City and GE shall in all other respects use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to mitigate the cost of any indemnifiable claim or proceeding and to settle the same promptly in a mutually satisfactory manner.

Section 8.3.    General Indemnity by GE in Favor of Homer City.     GE hereby covenants and agrees that upon Homer City’s demand, it will pay and assume liability for, and indemnify, protect, defend, save and keep harmless Homer City and its Affiliates, on an after-tax basis, from and against any and all losses (other than any claim relating to any Taxes) which may at any time or from time to time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Homer City or such Affiliate directly resulting from or arising out of the untruthfulness of any of GE’s representations or warranties contained herein.

When seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3, Homer City shall give prompt written notice together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading to GE of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity is sought hereunder and will give GE such information with respect thereto as GE may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve GE of any liability hereunder (except to the extent GE suffers actual prejudice thereby). Upon written request by GE, Homer City shall take appropriate action to contest the claim. GE may, at its expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding involving a third party. Homer City and GE shall in all other respects use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other to mitigate the cost of any indemnifiable claim or proceeding and to settle the same promptly in a mutually satisfactory manner.

GE acknowledges and agrees (and shall cause the GE Owner Lessors to acknowledge and agree to the extent applicable) that none of (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) the taking of any actions contemplated

hereunder (including the installation of the Pollution Control Equipment) and (iii) any breach of this Agreement by Homer City shall give rise to any obligation of Homer City or any of its Affiliates under any tax indemnity agreement or any tax indemnity provision contained in the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (iii), if any event occurs which would result in a breach of this Agreement by Homer City and which would give rise to any rights or remedies available under the Operative Documents in the absence of this Agreement, the foregoing clause (iii) shall not limit any rights or remedies which would be available under the Operative Documents with respect to such event in the absence of this Agreement.

Upon receiving any such notice of termination, Homer City shall cease to take all such actions contemplated hereby as are specified in such notice and upon such notice the parties shall, subject to Section 10.9, be released from all of their respective obligations hereunder.

Section 9.2.    Automatic Termination. Unless earlier terminated, this Agreement and, subject to Section 10.9, the obligations of the parties hereunder, shall terminate upon the satisfaction or fulfillment of all of the obligations of the parties hereto and the consummation of an Assignment or an Alternative Transaction.

Section 9.3.    Termination by Homer City. Homer City may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to GE, on or after that date (a “Homer City Termination Date”) which is the earliest to occur of (x) sixty (60) days following an EPC Termination Event if such EPC Termination Event occurs prior to the three month anniversary of the Effective Date, (y) one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of an EPC Termination Event, if such EPC Termination Event has occurred after the three month anniversary of the Effective Date, and (z) December 31, 2013; provided that if, as of December 31, 2013, GE has actually spent at least $100 million under the EPC Agreement and/or the BOP Agreements then such Homer City Termination Date shall be postponed until the later of (1) December 31, 2014, so long as GE has requested that Homer City consummate one or more Implementation Transactions or an Alternative Transaction and GE continues diligently pursuing consummation thereof in good faith, including the tender of performance of obligations under the definitive agreements for one or more Implementation Transactions or an Alternative Transaction and the exertion of commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy conditions precedent to such consummation, and (2) December 31, 2016, so long as (i) GE has requested that Homer City consummate one or more Implementation Transactions or an Alternative Transaction and GE continues diligently pursuing consummation thereof in good faith, including the tender of performance of obligations under the definitive agreements for one or more Implementation Transactions or an Alternative Transaction and the exertion of commercially reasonable efforts

to satisfy all conditions precedent to the closing of any such Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction, (ii) GE or its Affiliates have actually spent at least $150 million under the EPC Agreement and/or the BOP Agreements, and (iii) the consummation of one or more of the Implementation Transactions or an Alternative Transaction has been delayed by the failure (x) to obtain any governmental consent the obtainment of which is reasonably necessary to close an Implementation Transaction or an Alternative Transaction or (y) to resolve any Legal Proceedings brought by third parties (excluding Legal Proceedings brought by GE and its Affiliates and/or MetLife and its Affiliates) that has the effect of blocking the consummation of an Implementation Transaction or an Alternative Transaction at such time or making the consummation of an Implementation Transaction or Alternative Transaction commercially impractical; provided that in the case of (x) and (y), all of the conditions to the closing of an Implementation Transaction or the applicable Alternative Transaction capable of satisfaction by GE or its Affiliates shall have been satisfied (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any condition that cannot be satisfied until the obtainment of any necessary governmental consent or the resolution of such Legal Proceedings). Upon receiving any such notice of termination, GE shall cease to take all such actions contemplated hereby as are specified in such notice and upon such notice GE shall, subject to Section 10.9, be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.4.    Termination Amount. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Article IX, Homer City agrees (i) that subject to obtaining all consents required under the Operative Documents (which Homer City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain), Homer City will repay in full to GE an amount equal to all reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including, without limitation, any cancellation charges incurred and paid by GE in connection with the installation of the Pollution Control Improvements (including all such reasonable and documented costs and expenses arising in connection with the balance of plant) (such amount, the “Termination Amount”) and (ii) that GE may, but shall not be obligated to, agree to accept payment of the Termination Amount through an increase to Component A of Basic Lease Rent (subject to obtaining all consents required under the Operative Documents (which Homer City shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain)); provided however, that any obligation of Homer City to pay the Termination Amount shall be made subject to Homer City having sufficient funds available to it after taking into account its obligations to pay (1) Basic Lease Rent (on the schedule and in the amounts set forth in the Operative Documents), (2) operations and maintenance costs incurred in the ordinary course of business and necessary to achieve or maintain Good Utility Practices or (3) the costs of improvements (capital or otherwise) incurred in the ordinary course of business and necessary to achieve or maintain Good Utility Practices.

Section 9.5.    Termination Acknowledgements. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (I) no failure to reimburse GE for the Termination Amount shall cause, create or constitute a Lease Event of Default or Lease Indenture Event of Default, (II) Homer City’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.3 and the effectiveness of any such termination are not contingent upon, or subject to, the actual payment to GE of the Termination Amount, (III) the contingent reimbursement obligation of Homer City in respect of the Termination Amount created by Section 9.4 (or otherwise in this Agreement) shall constitute an obligation to pay Supplemental Lease Rent under the Operative Documents and (IV) the contingent obligation of Homer City to reimburse GE with respect to GE’s payment of the amounts giving rise to Homer City’s contingent reimbursement obligation in respect of the

Termination Amount shall constitute an Excepted Payment; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the contrary set forth in the Operative Documents, any obligation to pay Supplemental Lease Rent pursuant to clause (III) shall not be payable on an After-Tax Basis. In furtherance of the above, GE agrees for itself and agrees to cause the GE Owner Lessors not to demand payments of the Termination Amount except in accordance with Section 9.4 and GE agrees (and agrees to cause the GE Owner Lessors) (i) not to declare a Lease Event of Default, (ii) to cause the GE Owner Lessors not to declare a Lease Event of Default, (iii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the MetLife Owner Lessor not to declare a Lease Event of Default, in each case on account of any non- payment of the Termination Amount; provided, however, that except as expressly provided in this Section 9.5, each of GE and the GE Owner Lessors shall retain all of their respective rights and remedies under the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any portion of the Termination Amount remain unpaid on the date of termination such amount shall accrue interest at the Overdue Rate until paid, and Homer City shall make no Restricted Payments to Affiliates of Homer City until the Termination Amount and any interest accrued thereon shall have been paid in full.
