<PAGE>
(including "interest on interest" as contemplated by
Section 503 of the MAG Indenture governing the MAG
Long-term Notes), compounded semi-annually on the date of
each scheduled payment, and "Additional Interest," as
defined in Section 2(e) of the MAG Registration Rights
Agreement, during the period while MAG was not a timely SEC
filer); and
(2)
provision of (I) a new covenant enforceable by the MAG
Indenture Trustee that would provide that any payments from
MAG to New Mirant at a time when MAG or its subsidiaries
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
than "Permitted Debt"), unless the consolidated ratio of
net debt to EBITDA for MAG and its subsidiaries was 6.75:1
or less. For purposes of the covenant, all terms shall be
as defined in the
