·                  a sale, transfer, or other disposition (not including, for the avoidance of doubt, a transfer to an Affiliate of REMA that has been assigned or will be assigned the Shawville Lease contemporaneously with such transfer or the incurrence of secured indebtedness, but including any subsequent sale, transfer or other disposition by such Affiliate assignee of the Shawville Lease) of the Sayreville facility;

Assignment of Shawville Lease to Third Party

 

The Shawville Operative Documents shall be modified as follows:

 

·                  REMA will be permitted to assign the Shawville Lease to a third-party, non-affiliate assignee that either: (i) meets the credit rating / net worth conditions under the Shawville Lease and becomes bound by the Amended Qualifying Credit Support Terms applicable to REMA; or (ii) does not meet one or both of the existing credit rating / net worth conditions, but agrees to fund the QCS Escrow at the time of the assignment in an amount of cash or other forms of credit support (including letters of credit) acceptable to PSEG, sufficient to satisfy the remaining Basic Lease Term rent, if any; provided that PSEG shall then instruct the escrow agent to return to REMA any amounts previously funded into the QCS Escrow upon the assignee satisfying its escrow funding obligations as set forth herein.

 

 

 

Assignment of Shawville Lease to Affiliate

 

The Shawville Operative Documents shall be modified as follows:

 

·                  REMA will be permitted to assign the Shawville Lease to any affiliate so long as, at the time of assignment, the Projected Fixed Charges Ratio (as defined in the Shawville Participation Agreement) for the assignee (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed the “Facility Lessee” for the purposes of application of the Projected Fixed Charges Ratio definition and any defined terms incorporated therein) and any Subsidiary Guarantors (on a consolidated basis), measured for the next succeeding eight fiscal quarters (taken as two periods of four quarters and determined as of the beginning of the quarter during which the determination is made) is at least 1.0 to 1.0; provided, further, that insofar as such assignment is to an affiliate that does not also own both the Gilbert Facility and the Sayreville Facility, such assignment shall constitute a “Qualifying Assignment to Affiliate” that triggers the incremental Qualifying Credit Support obligation set forth above.

There shall be corresponding changes to the dates applicable to Section 15 of the Shawville Lease and any related items.

 

 

 

Shawville Change of Control

 

·                  PSEG agrees that any change of control of REMA that occurs upon and as a result of consummating GenOn’s pending chapter 11 plan of reorganization or REMA’s chapter 11 plan of reorganization implementing the Transaction shall not constitute a “Change of Control” under the Shawville Operative Documents.

 

 

 

Tax Indemnity Agreement

 

·                  The Tax Indemnity Agreement relating to the Shawville Lease shall be assumed and amended to provide for and/or clarify (i) REMA’s indemnification of PSEG for Inclusion Losses with respect to state taxes, and (ii) that future savings shall be calculated at the prevailing tax rate.
