$\dagger$ Here we use the standard XSPEC notation where wa*pomeans absorbed powerlaw.
a all - simultaneous fit to all data; b all tied - simultaneous fit to pre- and post-break spectra with the photon index in each part of the spectrum tied together; c untied - simultaneous fit to pre- and post-break spectra allowing $\Gamma$ and $N_{\rm excess}$ where applicable to freely vary between the pre- and post-break data.
