References herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to refer to Registration Statement No. 333-139820, including any amendment thereto, and any information in a prospectus or a prospectus supplement deemed or retroactively deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) or Rule 430C (“Rule 430C”) under the Securities Act that has not been superseded or modified. “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means the Registration Statement as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), which the parties agree is the time of the first Contract of Sale (as used in Rule 159 under the Securities Act) for the Bonds, and shall be considered the “Effective Date” of the Registration Statement relating to the Bonds. For purposes of this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus or prospectus supplement that is deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430C, shall be considered to be included in the Registration Statement as of the time specified in Rule 430A or Rule 430C, as appropriate. The final prospectus and the final prospectus supplement relating to the Bonds, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”), are referred to herein as the “Final Prospectus;” and the most recent preliminary prospectus and

prospectus supplement that omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and that was used after the initial effectiveness of the Registration Statement and prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is referred to herein as the “Pricing Prospectus.” The Issuer is not, and at the time of filing the Registration Statement was not, an “ineligible issuer” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act (“Rule 405”).

(b) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Issuer or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Bonds and (ii) at the date hereof, the Issuer was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.

(c) At the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, at the time of each amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether by post-effective amendment, incorporated report or form of prospectus) and on the Effective Date relating to the Bonds, the Registration Statement, and the Indenture, at the Closing Date (as defined below), fully complied and will fully comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “Trust Indenture Act”) and, in each case, the applicable instructions, rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; the Registration Statement, at each of the aforementioned dates, did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. As of the Applicable Time (as defined below) and as of the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus fully complied and will fully comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and neither of such documents includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided that the foregoing representations and warranties in this paragraph (c) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the Issuer or Mon Power by, or on behalf of, any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or to any statements in or omissions from any Statements of Eligibility on Form T-1 (or amendments thereto) of the Indenture Trustee filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or to any statements or omissions made in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus relating to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Book-Entry System that are based solely on information contained in published reports of the DTC.

(h) MP Renaissance (i) is not in violation of the MPR Charter Documents, (ii) is not in default and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties is subject, except for any such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property or financial condition of MP Renaissance and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or (iii) is not in violation of any law, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court decree to which it or its property may be subject, except for any such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property or financial condition of MP Renaissance and its subsidiaries considered as a whole.

6. Investor Communications.

(a) The Issuer, MP Renaissance and Mon Power represent and agree that, unless they obtain the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Issuer, MP Renaissance and Mon Power and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Bonds that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” required to be filed by the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power, as applicable, with the Commission or retained by the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power, as applicable, under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Term Sheets and each other Free Writing Prospectus identified in Schedule III hereto.

(b) Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer (or the Representatives at the direction of the Issuer) will prepare a final pricing term sheet relating to the Bonds (the “Pricing Term Sheet”), containing only information that describes the final pricing terms of the Bonds and otherwise in a form consented to by the Representatives, and will file such final pricing term

sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date such final terms have been established for all classes of the offering of the Bonds. The Pricing Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter may provide to investors one or more of the Free Writing Prospectuses, including the Term Sheets, subject to the following conditions:

(i) Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, an Underwriter shall not convey or deliver any Written Communication (as defined herein) to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Bonds, unless such Written Communication (i) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (ii) constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430A, (iii) is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule III hereto or (iv) is an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below). “Written Communication” has the same meaning as that term is defined in Rule 405. An “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” means any free writing prospectus that contains only preliminary or final terms of the Environmental Control Bonds and is not required to be filed by Mon Power or the Issuer pursuant to Rule 433 and that contains information substantially the same as the information contained in the Pricing Prospectus or Pricing Term Sheet (including, without limitation, (i) the class, size, rating, price, CUSIPs, coupon, yield, spread, benchmark, status and/or legal maturity date of the Bonds, the weighted average life, expected first and final payment dates, trade date, settlement date, transaction parties, credit enhancement, roadshow details, ERISA eligibility, legal investment status and payment window of one or more classes of Bonds and (ii) a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Bonds, both for the Bonds as a whole and for each Underwriter’s retention, and/or expected pricing parameters of the Bonds).

(ii) Each Underwriter shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the use of Free Writing Prospectuses and Term Sheets, including but not limited to Rule 164 and Rule 433.

(iii) All Free Writing Prospectuses provided to investors, whether or not filed with the Commission, shall bear a legend including substantially the following statement:

THE ISSUER HAS FILED A REGISTRATION STATEMENT (INCLUDING A PROSPECTUS) WITH THE SEC FOR THE OFFERING TO WHICH THIS COMMUNICATION RELATES. BEFORE YOU INVEST, YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUS IN THAT REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ISSUER HAS FILED WITH THE SEC FOR MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUER AND THE OFFERING. YOU MAY GET THESE DOCUMENTS FOR FREE BY VISITING ▇▇▇▇▇ ON THE SEC WEB SITE AT ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

ALTERNATIVELY, THE ISSUER, ANY UNDERWRITER OR ANY DEALER PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFERING WILL ARRANGE TO SEND YOU THE BASE PROSPECTUS IF YOU REQUEST IT BY CALLING TOLL-FREE 1-8_________ OR EMAILING _________ AT __________________.

The Issuer and the Representatives shall have the right to require additional specific legends or notations to appear on any Free Writing Prospectus, the right to require changes regarding the use of terminology and the right to determine the types of information appearing therein with the approval of, in the case of the Issuer, Representatives and, in the case of the Representatives, the Issuer (which in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(iv) Each Underwriter covenants with the Issuer, Mon Power and MP Renaissance that after the Final Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Bonds to an investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Final Prospectus or by notice to the investor that the Final Prospectus is available for free by visiting ▇▇▇▇▇ on the SEC website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

(v) Each Underwriter agrees and covenants that (a) no information that is conveyed to investors has been or will be inconsistent with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (b) if an Underwriter shall use an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, the liability arising from its use shall be the sole responsibility of the Underwriter using such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus unless the Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was consented to in advance by Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) this clause (v) shall not be interpreted as tantamount to the indemnification obligations contained in Section 12(b) hereof and (ii) no Underwriter shall be responsible for any “issuer information” as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act giving rise to such Underwriter liability provided by the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or was otherwise previously provided by the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power to such Underwriter for use in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus.

7. Purchase and Sale. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuer shall sell to each of the Underwriters, and each Underwriter shall purchase from the Issuer, at the time and place herein specified, severally and not jointly, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the principal amount of the Bonds set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule II hereto.

If any Underwriter shall fail or refuse to purchase and pay for the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for hereunder, the Issuer shall immediately give notice to the other Underwriters of the default of such Underwriter, and the other Underwriters shall have the right within 24 hours after the receipt of such notice to determine to purchase, or to procure one or more others, who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) (or, if not members of the NASD, who are not eligible for membership in the NASD and who agree (i) to make no sales within the United States, its territories or its possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein and (ii) in making sales to comply with the NASD’s Conduct Rules) and satisfactory to the Issuer, to purchase, upon the terms herein set forth, the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that the defaulting Underwriter had agreed to purchase. If any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters shall determine to exercise such right, such Underwriter or Underwriters shall give written notice to the Issuer of the determination in that regard within 24 hours after receipt of notice of any such default, and thereupon the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding three business days, as the Issuer shall determine. If in the event of such a default no non-defaulting Underwriter shall give such notice, then this Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer, upon like notice given to the non-defaulting Underwriters, within a further period of 24 hours. If in such case the Issuer shall not elect to terminate this Underwriting Agreement it shall have the right, irrespective of such default:

(a) to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase and pay for the respective aggregate principal amount of Bonds that it had agreed to purchase hereunder as hereinabove provided and, in addition, the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that the defaulting Underwriter shall have so failed to purchase up to aggregate principal amount of Bonds equal to one tenth (1/10) of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that such non-defaulting Underwriter has otherwise agreed to purchase hereunder, and/or

(b) to procure one or more persons, reasonably acceptable to the Representatives, who are members of the NASD (or, if not members of the NASD, who are not eligible for membership in the NASD and who agree (i) to make no sales within the United States, its territories or its possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein and (ii) in making sales to comply with the NASD’s Conduct Rules), to purchase, upon the terms herein set forth, either all or a part of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that such

defaulting Underwriter had agreed to purchase or that portion thereof that the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase pursuant to the foregoing clause (a).

In the event the Issuer shall exercise its rights under (a) and/or (b) above, the Issuer shall give written notice thereof to the non-defaulting Underwriters within such further period of 24 hours, and thereupon the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding three business days, as the Issuer shall determine.

In the computation of any period of 24 hours referred to in this Section 8, there shall be excluded a period of 24 hours in respect of each Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday that would otherwise be included in such period of time.

Any action taken by the Issuer under this Section 8 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Underwriting Agreement. Termination by the Issuer under this Section 8 shall be without any liability on the part of the Issuer, Mon Power, MP Renaissance or any non-defaulting Underwriter, except as otherwise provided in Sections 9(a)(viii) and 12 hereof.

In case these conditions shall not have been fulfilled, this Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer upon notice thereof to the Underwriters. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 9(a)(viii) and 12 hereof.

12. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, each Underwriter’s members, managers, employees, agents, officers and directors and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or common law and shall reimburse each such Underwriter and person for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable counsel fees) as and when incurred by them in connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and, together with the Pricing Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, collectively, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any information prepared by or on behalf of Mon Power, MP Renaissance or the Issuer and provided to the Underwriters; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 12 shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arising out of, or based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, in each case if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power by any Underwriter, by or through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to either thereof, or arising out of, or based upon, statements in or omissions from that part of the Registration Statement that shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any indenture qualified pursuant to the Registration Statement; and provided further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 12 shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or of any member, manager, employee, agent, officer or director of such Underwriter or of any person controlling such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) on account of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions, joint or several, arising from the sale of the Bonds to any person if a copy of the Pricing Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished to the Underwriters at or prior to the time of the sale involved) shall not have been given or sent to such person by or on behalf of such Underwriter with or prior to the sale of the

Bonds to such person unless the alleged omission or alleged untrue statement was not corrected in the Pricing Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished to the Underwriters at or prior to the time of the sale involved) at the time of such sale. The indemnity agreement of Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer contained in this Section 12 and the representations and warranties of the Issuer, Mon Power and MP Renaissance contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Underwriting Agreement or of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its officers or its directors or any such controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Bonds.

(b) Each Underwriter shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer, each of Mon Power’s, MP Renaissance’s and Issuer’s officers, directors, and managers, and each person who controls the Issuer or Mon Power within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or common law and shall reimburse each of them for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including, to the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable counsel fees) as and when incurred by them in connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in connection with defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and, together with the Pricing Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, collectively, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Mon Power, MP Renaissance or Issuer by such Underwriter, through the Representatives, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of them. The only information furnished to Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer by the Underwriters in writing expressly for use in such foregoing documents is set forth in Schedule IV hereto. The indemnity agreement of the respective Underwriters contained in this Section 12 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Underwriting Agreement or of any investigation made by or on behalf of Mon Power, MP Renaissance or the Issuer, their directors, managers or officers, any such Underwriter, or any such controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of the Bonds.

(c) Mon Power, MP Renaissance, the Issuer and the several Underwriters each shall, upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against it or any person controlling it as aforesaid, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement contained herein, promptly give written notice of the commencement thereof to the party or parties against whom indemnity shall be sought under (a) or (b) above, but the failure to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party

or parties from any liability hereunder to the extent such indemnifying party or parties is/are not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to notify and in any event shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement. In case such notice of any such action shall be so given, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume (in conjunction with any other indemnifying parties) the defense of such action, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party or parties and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties who shall be defendant or defendants in such action, and such defendant or defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them; but if the indemnifying party shall elect not to assume the defense of such action, such indemnifying party will reimburse such indemnified party or parties for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action (including impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest involved in the representation by a single counsel of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, satisfactory to the indemnifying party, whose reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid by such indemnifying party, to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Each of Mon Power, MP Renaissance, Issuer and the several Underwriters agrees that without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Underwriting Agreement, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such other party from all liability arising out of such claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such other party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in subparagraph (a) or (b) above shall be unenforceable under applicable law by an indemnified party, each indemnifying party agrees to contribute to such indemnified party with respect to any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses for which each such indemnification provided for in subparagraph (a) or (b) above shall be unenforceable, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Bonds pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement or (ii) if an allocation solely on the basis provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law or is inequitable or against public policy, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of each indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which have resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses and (iii) any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or

alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or the indemnified party and each such party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Mon Power, MP Renaissance, the Issuer and each of the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subparagraph (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute in excess of the amount equal to the excess of (i) the total underwriting fees, discounts and commissions received by it, over (ii) the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The obligations of each Underwriter to contribute pursuant to this Section 12 are several and not joint and shall be in the same proportion as such Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite Bonds is to the total number of Bonds set forth in Schedule II hereto.

13. Termination. This Underwriting Agreement may be terminated, at any time prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Bonds by the Representatives by written notice to the Issuer if after the date hereof and at or prior to the Closing Date (a) there shall have occurred any general suspension of trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or there shall have been established by the NYSE, or the over-the-counter market, or by the Commission any general limitation on prices for such trading or any general restrictions on the distribution of securities, or a general banking moratorium declared by New York or federal authorities or (b) there shall have occurred any (i) material outbreak of hostilities (including, without limitation, an act of terrorism) or (ii) declaration by the United States of war or national or international calamity or crisis, including, but not limited to, a material escalation of hostilities that existed prior to the date of this Underwriting Agreement or (iii) material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, and the effect of any such event specified in clause (a) or (b) above on the financial markets of the United States shall be such as to materially and adversely affect, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, their ability to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Bonds on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Final Prospectus. Any termination hereof pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 9(a)(viii) and 12 hereof.

14. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Issuer, MP Renaissance and Mon Power each acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuer, MP Renaissance and Mon Power with respect to the offering of the Bonds contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power. Additionally, none of the Underwriters is advising the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Issuer, MP Renaissance and Mon Power shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions

will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer, MP Renaissance or Mon Power.

15. Venue. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably (i) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against Mon Power, MP Renaissance or the Issuer brought by any Underwriter or by any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any federal or state court located in the State of New York (each, a “New York Court”), (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection based on the absence of a necessary or indispensable party in any such proceeding, and (iv) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Mon Power, MP Renaissance and the Issuer each irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which they may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any legal suit, action or proceeding against them arising out of or based on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any New York Court or in any foreign court. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Issuer hereby waives any objection to the enforcement by any competent foreign court of any judgment validly obtained in any such proceeding. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.

16. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and may be given by United States mail, courier service, telecopy, telefax or facsimile (confirmed by telephone or in writing in the case of notice by telecopy, telefax or facsimile) or any other customary means of communication, and any such communication shall be effective when delivered, or if mailed, three days after deposit in the United States mail with proper postage for ordinary mail prepaid, and if sent to the Representatives, to it at the address specified in Schedule I hereto; and if sent to Mon Power, to it at [ ]; and if sent to MP Renaissance, to it at [ ] and if sent to the Issuer, to it at [ ]. The parties hereto, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent communications.

17. Successors. This Underwriting Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the members, managers, employees, agents, officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 12 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

18. Applicable Law. This Underwriting Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

19. Counterparts. This Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Issuer, MP Renaissance Mon Power and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
