                     indenture memorializing the addition of such covenants to

                     provided, however, that this instruction is contingent upon

                     confirmation of a chapter 11 plan for the Debtors in

                     January 31, 2006; and

 

              (ii)    not to object to findings by the Bankruptcy Court in a

                     without limitation any defaults under the following

                     sections of the master indenture: (a) section 501(3), (b)

                     section 801, and (c) section 802; and supplemental

                     indenture: (a) section 109, and (b) section 111;

 

              provided, that, without limiting the MAG Ad Hoc Committee's

              obligations under Section 4 hereof, the Noteholder shall not be

              required (x) to indemnify or make any economic concession to the

              MAG Indenture Trustee in connection with such instruction, (y) to

              the extent the Noteholder has sold all or a portion of its MAG

              Long-term Notes, to locate or obtain an instruction from any

              Person or Entity that has purchased such MAG Long-term Notes, or

              (z) to the extent the Noteholder has sold all or a portion of its

              sales of MAG Long-term Notes.

 

       (d)     The Noteholder hereby agrees, so long as this Agreement remains in

              effect and during the period commencing on the date of this

              Agreement and continuing until the termination of this Agreement

              (ii)    the MAG Indenture Trustee and the MAG Ad Hoc Committee

                     owe debt to New Mirant (or any of its non-MAG

                     subsidiaries), shall be treated as a repayment of such

                     debt, rather than as a dividend until all such debt is

                     repaid, and (II) a new debt incurrence test enforceable by

                     the MAG Indenture Trustee that would limit the ability of

                     MAG and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt (other
