Subject Company: Mirant Corporation (File No: 1-16107)

Below is a copy of an email that was sent to all RRI Energy employees on May 11, 2010 regarding the leadership team of GenOn Energy following the merger of Mirant Corporation and RRI Energy, Inc.

Dear Colleague,

On April 11, I shared with you the exciting news of our company’s intent to merge with Mirant Corporation to form GenOn Energy. GenOn will be one of the largest merchant generation companies in the U.S. with 24,700 MWs of capacity. The combined company will have a strong balance sheet, enhanced financial flexibility and ample liquidity. The merger also creates significant near-term value for our stockholders through cost savings to be achieved through reductions in corporate overhead and G&A.

Concurrent with the merger, we announced the members of the executive leadership team, to be known as the Executive Committee. I also shared with you our plan that within 60 days, you would know how this transaction would affect your role going forward.

This work has been taken up by the RRI/Mirant integration team, co-lead by Mirant CFO Bill Holden and me. The team is focused on the key decisions that will allow us to meet our 60-day commitment, achieve our targeted cost-savings and position GenOn to operate seamlessly from Day 1 after closing.

Today I am announcing the next level of GenOn leadership, those individuals that will directly report to an Executive Committee member, as follows:

Chief Financial Officer
Bill Holden – EVP, Chief Financial Officer
Donna Benefield, Vice President and Chief Information Officer
Gary Garcia, Senior Vice President and Treasurer
Tom Livengood, Senior Vice President and Controller
Mat Parker, Vice President and Chief Risk Officer
Karen D. Taylor, Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Administration
Phil Williamson, Vice President, Tax

General Counsel
Mike Jines – EVP, General Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer

Chief Commercial Officer
Robert Gaudette – SVP, Chief Commercial Officer
Vicki Lynch, Vice President, East and Northeast Asset Optimization
Shawn McFarlane, Vice President, Commercial Analysis
Vafa Mohtashami, Vice President, West and Southeast Asset Optimization
Sean Murphy, Vice President, Fuels and Emissions
Doug Tinkler, Managing Director, Trading and Hedging

Plant Operations
Dave Freysinger – SVP, Plant Operations
Monte Ash, Vice President, West and South Gas Plant Operations
Ray Emory, Vice President, Safety and Health
Ed Feith, Vice President, Environmental Operations and Compliance
Mark Gouveia, Vice President, South PJM Coal Plant Operations
Matt Greek, Vice President, North PJM Coal Plant Operations
Jim Locher, Vice President, Keystone and Conemaugh Plant Operations
Robert Patrick, Vice President, Plant Services and Major Projects
Matt Pistner, Vice President, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Gas Plant Operations

Asset Management
Anne Cleary – SVP, Asset Management
Kevin Boudreaux, Vice President, PJM East
John Chillemi, Vice President, California
Steve Davies, Vice President, PJM West
Gary Kubik, Vice President, Southeast
Jeff Perry, Vice President, Northeast

Please join me in congratulating the new GenOn leadership team.

Consistent with our 60-day commitment, these individuals will now be responsible for making subsequent personnel decisions within their respective groups.

It is important to emphasize that these changes will not be effective until the merger closes later this year. Until that time, all personnel will continue in their current roles and reporting relationships.

It is also important to acknowledge that some very tough decisions were made in forming the team. The truth is there are excellent people in both the RRI and Mirant organizations who have made substantial contributions to the success of each company. The merged company must be staffed appropriately, and as a result, many talented individuals will not have a continuing role at GenOn. I know you will join me in acknowledging them for their many contributions and supporting them through the close of the transaction and in their future endeavors.

I appreciate your commitment and support on behalf of RRI Energy.

/s/ Mark Jacobs
