Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2014, NRG Energy, Inc. (“NRG”) completed the sale of $1,100 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, dated January 10, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among NRG, the guarantors named therein, and the initial purchasers set forth on Schedule I thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”).  The Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated February 2, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), among NRG and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated January 27, 2014 (the “One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture”), among NRG, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee, establishing the terms and providing for the issuance of the Senior Notes.  The One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture and the forms of Senior Notes, which are attached as exhibits to the One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, provide, among other things, that the Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of NRG.  Interest is payable on the Senior Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year beginning on July 15, 2014 until their maturity date of July 15, 2022.

The terms of the One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of NRG and certain of its subsidiaries to: make restricted payments; pay dividends or make other distributions on its capital stock; incur additional debt; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of NRG’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries.

The One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture provides for customary events of default, which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), 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 and is not cured within the time periods specified, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding series of Senior Notes may declare all the Senior Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately.

The Senior Notes were sold to the Initial Purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S.  Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, dated January 27, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among NRG, the guarantors named therein, and the Initial Purchasers, NRG has agreed to offer to exchange substantially identical senior notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the Senior Notes, or, in certain circumstances, to register resales of the Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, Senior Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.  This Form 8-K and the Exhibits hereto do not constitute an offer to sell any securities or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities.

The One Hundred-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, the form of Senior Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, are filed as exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant.
