expected acquisition of purchase money or other security interests, and to the
extent not provided for in this Agreement, the rights and priorities of the
Secured Parties shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

form of Schedule 3 attached hereto received by the Collateral Agent from CE
Generation:
(i) to the Trustee, the Debt Service Reserve LOC Provider, the
Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank, ratably, in an amount equal to
the Administrative Costs due and payable to such parties as of the date of
such distribution;
(ii) to the Secured Parties, ratably, an amount equal to the unpaid
amount of all Secured Obligations constituting principal, interest, premium
(if any) and fees (including commitment fees and fronting fees, if any, due
and owing in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit) due and
payable to the Secured Parties as of the date of such distribution;

Parties as of the date of such distribution; and
(iv) to the Obligor Parties or their respective successors or assigns
or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or
3
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus remaining
after giving effect to clauses (i) through (iii) immediately above.
At the time the Collateral Agent is to make a distribution pursuant to
clause (ii) above, and with the same priority as such distribution, the
Collateral Agent shall deposit into a separate interest-bearing trust account to
be maintained by the Collateral Agent an amount up to the amount equal to the
then outstanding amount of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit (which
outstanding amount of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit shall be
calculated after giving effect to the redemption of Securities from such
distribution in clause (ii) above). The Collateral Agent shall hold the monies
in such account until receipt of a written notice or notices from the Debt
Service Reserve LOC Provider to the effect that either (x) the Depositary Bank
has made a drawing on the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit, which notice
shall specify the amount or amounts of such drawings or (y) the Debt Service
Reserve Letter of Credit has expired or terminated. Upon receipt of a notice
specified in (x) above, the Collateral Agent shall distribute to the Debt
Service Reserve LOC Provider the amount equal to such drawing's proportionate
share of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit collateralized by such
account as specified in the notice. Upon re ceipt of a notice specified in (y)
above, the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the relevant separate account
(in accordance with clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above and without regard to
this paragraph) to the appropriate Persons an amount equal to the balance in
such account.
Section 4. Exercise of Rights. So long as any Secured Obligations remain
outstanding, each of the Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees as
follows:
(a) The Collateral Agent shall administer the Collateral in the manner
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Security Documents, and only upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event the Collateral
Agent shall exercise, upon the written instruction of, and on behalf of, the
Required Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, such
rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral as are granted to it under
this Agreement, the other Security Documents and applicable law.
(b) No Secured Party and no class or classes of Secured Parties shall have
any right, other than in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof, to (i)
sell, exchange, release, not perfect and otherwise deal with any property at any
time pledged, assigned or mortgaged to secure the Secured Obligations in
accordance with the Security Documents, (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights to direct
4
the Collateral Agent to take any action in respect of the Collateral or (iii)
take any other action with respect to the Collateral (A) independently of the
Collateral Agent or (B) other than to direct the Collateral Agent to take action
in accordance with Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof. The Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, (i) amend in any
manner any Financing Documents to which such Secured Party is a party in
accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) release anyone liable in any manner
under or in respect of such Secured Party's Secured Obligations in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents and (iii) apply any sums
from time to time received for payment or satisfaction of such Secured Party's
Secured Obligations except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof.
(c) Each Secured Party hereby agrees that upon the request of the
Collateral Agent it will promptly provide the Collateral Agent (i) notice of the
amount of outstanding Secured Obligations owed by the Obligor Parties to such
Secured Party under the Financing Documents and (ii) any other information that
the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
(d) The Trustee shall vote in any intercreditor vote in accordance with
Section 6.12 of the Indenture.
Section 5. Actions Upon A Trigger Event. So long as any Secured Obligations
remain outstanding, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Each Secured Party hereby agrees to give CE Generation, each other
Secured Party and the Collateral Agent written notice of the occurrence of an
Event of Default under such Secured Party's Financing Documents and of the
occurrence of an acceleration under such Secured Party's Financing Documents
wherein such Secured Party's Secured Obligations have been declared to be or
have automatically become due and payable earlier than the scheduled maturity
thereof and setting forth the aggregate amount of Secured Obligations that have
been so accelerated under such Financing Documents, in each case as soon as
practicable after the occurrence thereof; provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not limit or impair the rights of the Secured Parties
hereunder or under the other Financing Documents.
(b) The Obligor Parties hereby agree that if a Trigger Event shall have
occurred and so long as such Trigger Event shall be continuing, the Collateral
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to act as the
attorney-in-fact for the Obligor Parties with respect to the giving of any
instructions or notices under the Depositary Agreement; provided, however, that
if a bankruptcy event set forth in
5
clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.1 of the Indenture in respect of any Obligor
Party has caused the Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent shall automatically and
irrevocably be authorized and empowered to act as the attorney-in-fact for the
Obligor Parties with respect to the giving of such instructions or notices. The
Collateral Agent hereby agrees that, upon the written request of the Required
Secured Parties, it shall give such notices and instructions under the
Depositary Agreement to the Depositary Bank. The Depositary Bank hereby agrees
that it shall accept such notices and instructions from the Collateral Agent.
Section 6. Exercise of Remedies and Application of Proceeds. So long as any
Secured Obligations remain outstanding to more than one Secured Party, the
following provisions shall apply:
(a) If a Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the
written request of the Required Secured Parties the Collateral Agent, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, shall give the Depositary Bank, the Trustee and CE
Generation a written notice that a Trigger Event has occurred (the date of such
notice, the "Trigger Event Date") and direct the Depositary Bank to render an
accounting of the current balance of each Account and of any other monies of the
Obligor Parties administered by the Depositary Bank. No Secured Party shall be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default
until such Secured Party has received written notice of such Event of Default
from CE Generation, the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any Person
for whom such Secured Party is acting as agent or trustee.
(b) If a Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and only in
such event, upon the written request of the Required Secured Parties the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any and all actions and to exercise
any and all rights, remedies and options which it may have under the Security
Documents and which the Required Secured Parties direct it to take under this
Agreement, including realization and foreclosure on the Collateral; provided,
however, that if a bankruptcy event set forth in clause (e) or (f) of Section
6.1 of the Indenture in respect of any Obligor Party has caused the Trigger
Event, the Collateral Agent shall automatically be authorized to take such
action without the written request of the Required Secured Parties.
(c) The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization or
foreclosure by the Collateral Agent upon the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to the Security Documents shall be governed by this Section 6(c). Any
non-cash proceeds resulting from such liquidation of the Collateral shall be
held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until later
sold or otherwise
6
converted into cash, at which time the Collateral Agent shall apply such cash in
accordance with the next sentence of this Section 6(c). The Collateral Agent
shall transfer any cash proceeds net of expenses resulting from liquidation of
the Collateral to the Depositary Bank which shall be distributed by the
Depositary Bank in accordance with Section 3.10(c) of the Depositary Agreement
pursuant to an Allocation Certificate in the form of Schedule 6c delivered to
the Collateral Agent by the Required Secured Parties in the following order of
priority:
(i) to the Trustee, the Debt Service Reserve LOC Provider, the
Collateral Agent and the Depositary Bank, ratably, all Administrative Costs
due and payable to such parties under this Agreement and the other
Financing Documents;
(ii) to the Secured Parties, ratably, an amount equal to the unpaid
amount of all Secured Obligations constituting principal, interest, premium
(if any) and fees (including commitment fees and fronting fees, if any, due
and owing in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit) due and
payable to the Secured Parties;
(iii) to the Secured Parties, ratably, an amount equal to the unpaid
amount of all other Secured Obligations due and payable to the Secured
Parties; and
(iv) to the Obligor Parties or their respective successors or assigns
or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus remaining after giving
effect to clauses (i) through (iii) immediately above.
At the time the distribution is to be made pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Collateral Agent will set aside available monies (on a ratable basis with
such distribution) in a separate interest-bearing trust account in an amount up
to the then outstanding amount of the Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit
(which outstanding amount of Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit shall be
calculated after giving effect to the redemption of Securities from such
distribution in clause (ii) above). Upon a subsequent draw on the Debt Service
Reserve Letter of Credit, the Collateral Agent will as soon as practicable
transfer monies from the separate account to the Debt Service Reserve LOC
Provider up to the amount so drawn, to the extent not reimbursed, on such Debt
Service Letter of Credit. Upon an expiration or termination of the Debt Service
Letter of Credit, monies in such separate account collateralizing
7
such Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit shall be released and applied as set
forth above in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization with respect to
Collateral held for the benefit of some but not all of the Secured Parties shall
be applied to the payment of obligations owed to the Secured Parties for whose
benefit the specific Collateral was held.
Section 7. Receipt of Money or Proceeds. The Secured Parties and the
Depositary Bank hereby agree that if at any time during the term of this Agree
ment any Secured Party receives any payment or distribution of assets of the
Obligor Parties of any kind or character, whether monies or cash proceeds
resulting from liquidation of the Collateral, other than in accordance with the
terms of this Agree ment and the Depositary Agreement, such Secured Party shall
hold such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall immediately remit such payment or distribution to the
Depositary Bank, and the Depositary Bank shall deposit such monies or proceeds
in the Revenue Account for application or distribution, as the case may be, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Depositary Agreement.
Section 8. Additional Secured Parties. Each Person replacing any of the
Secured Parties and each Person (or trustee therefor or agent thereof) providing
senior secured Indebtedness to any of the Obligor Parties is required to become
a party to this Agreement; and any Person which executes and delivers a
counterpart to this Agreement and is designated as a Secured Party pursuant to
the terms of a Designation Letter, shall become a party hereto and shall be
bound by and subject to the terms and conditions hereof and the covenants,
stipulations and agreements contained herein.
Section 9. Appointment and Duties of Collateral Agent. (a) The Secured
Parties hereby designate and appoint Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company,
National Association to act as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the
other Security Documents, and each of the Secured Parties hereby authorizes
Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company, National Association, as the Collateral
Agent, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Security Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Security Documents, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement or in the other Security Documents, the Collateral
Agent shall not have
8
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and in the other Security Documents, or any fiduciary relationship
with any of the Secured Parties, and no implied covenants, functions or
responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Security
Documents, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder
or under any other Security Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, or
in connection with the Collateral, unless caused by its gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(b) The Secured Parties hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to appoint
Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company, National Association to act as the
Depositary Bank under the Depositary Agreement. The Secured Parties hereby
authorize and empower the Collateral Agent to remove and replace the Depositary
Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article IV of the Depositary
Agreement and to direct the Depositary Bank according to the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise any rights or reme
dies under this Agreement or any other Security Document or give any consent
under this Agreement or any other Security Document or enter into any agreement
amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving any provision of this Agreement
or any other Security Document unless it shall have been directed to do so in
writing by the Required Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Collateral
Agent shall consent to the release of Collateral the release of which is
permitted by each of the Financing Documents and shall enter into any
amendments, waivers or supplements with respect to the Security Documents to the
extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Financing Documents and which
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect (as evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of CE Generation and each Assignor
party to any such document).
Section 10. Rights of Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Security Document by
or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall (i) be liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Security Document (except for its gross negligence
or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Secured Parties for any
9
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Obligor Party or
any representative thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Security
Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Security Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Collateral,
this Agreement or any other Security Document or for any failure of any Obligor
Party to perform its obligations thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be
under any obligation to any other Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to
the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Security Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Obligor Parties.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Obligor Parties), independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Collateral Agent. In connection with any request of the
Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely and
shall be fully protected in relying on a certificate of any Person, signed by an
Authorized Officer of such Person, setting forth the Combined Exposure held by
such Person as of the date of such certificate, which certificate shall state
that the Person signing such certificate is an Authorized Officer of such Person
and shall state specifically the Security Document and provision thereof
pursuant to which the Collateral Agent is being directed to act. The Collateral
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Security Document (i) if such action would, in the
reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of
this Agreement or the other Security Documents, (ii) if such action is not
specifically provided for in this Agree ment or any other Security Document it
shall not have received any such advice or concurrence of the Required Secured
Parties as it deems appropriate, or (iii) if, in connection with the taking of
any such action that would constitute an exercise of remedies under this
Agreement or such other Security Document, it shall not first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Secured Parties (other than the Trustee (in its
individual capacity), the Collateral Agent (in its individual capacity), the
Depositary Bank (in its individual capacity) or any other agent or trustee under
any of the Financing Documents (in their individual capacities)) against any and
all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in
10
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Security Document in
accordance with a request of the Required Secured Parties (to the extent that
the Required Secured Parties are expressly authorized to direct the Collateral
Agent to take or refrain from taking such action), and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the
Secured Parties.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive,
direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default
or Trigger Event unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent
has received a written notice or a certificate from any Secured Party stating
that an Event of Default or a Trigger Event has occurred under such Secured
Party's Financing Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such notice or certificate to
inquire whether a Trigger Event has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to
rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such
notice or certificate so furnished to it. No provision of this Agreement or any
other Financing Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or under any other Security Document or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. In the event that the Collateral
Agent receives a notice of or certificate regarding the occurrence of any
Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent shall give notice thereof to the other
Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Trigger Event as so requested pursuant to Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof.
(e) CE Generation will pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount
of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees
and expenses of its counsel (and any local counsel) and of any experts and
agents, which the Collateral Agent may reasonably incur in connection with (i)
the administration of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, (ii) the
custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization
upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder or under the other Security
Documents or (iv) the failure by any Obligor Party to perform or observe any of
the provisions hereof or of any of the other Security Documents.
(f) In no event, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall the Collateral Agent hereunder be liable for special, indirect or
consequential
11
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of
such loss or damage and regardless of such action.
Section 11. Lack of Reliance on the Collateral Agent. Each of the Secured
Parties expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent
hereinafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of
the Obligor Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Secured Party. Each Secured Party
represents to the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligor Parties. Each Secured Party
also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Obligor Parties. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Obligor Parties which may come into the possession of
the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or
attorneys-in-fact.
Section 12. Indemnification; Bankruptcy. (a) The Secured Parties severally
agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent
not reimbursed by CE Generation and without limiting the obligation of CE Genera
tion to do so), ratably according to the aggregate amounts of their respective
Secured Obligations on the date the activities giving rise to the Collateral
Agent's demand for indemnification occurred, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in its capacity
as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other
Security Documents, or the performance of its duties as Collateral Agent
hereunder or thereunder or any action taken or omitted by
12
the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such under or in connection with any of
the foregoing; provided that the Secured Parties shall not be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the
extent that any of the foregoing result from the Collateral Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12(a) shall
survive the payment or satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations and the
resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) CE Generation hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and each
Secured Party and, in their capacities as such, their officers, directors,
shareholders, controlling persons, employees, agents and servants (each an
"Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses) (collectively
"Damages") of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party (or which may be claimed
against any Indemnified Party by any Person) by reason of, in connection with or
in any way relating to or arising out of, any Financing Document, any
Collateral or any other documents or transactions in connection with or relating
thereto, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. CE Generation further shall, upon demand by any Indemnified
Party, pay to such Indemnified Party all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Party in enforcing any rights under the Financing Documents,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. The agreements in this
Section 12(b) shall survive the payment or satisfaction in full of the Secured
Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent or the
termination of this Agree ment.
(c) The Secured Parties hereby agree that, except upon the written consent
of the Required Secured Parties, (i) no Secured Party shall authorize CE
Generation to commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation,
reorganization or other relief with respect to CE Generation or its debts under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official of CE Generation or any substantial part of
its property or to consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding
commenced against CE Generation, or to make a general assignment for the benefit
of any Secured Party or any other creditor of CE Generation, and (ii) none of
the Secured Parties shall commence or join with
13
any other Person (other than upon the written consent of the Required Secured
Parties) in commencing any proceeding against CE Generation under any
bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency Law or statute now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.
Section 13. Resignation or Removal of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral
Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the
Secured Parties and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the
Required Secured Parties, with any such resignation or removal to become
effective only upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this
Section 13; provided, however, that in the event that the Collateral Agent is
also the Depositary Bank and/or the Trustee, it must also resign its role as
Depositary Bank and Trustee. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so
appointed within thirty (30) days, the resigning Collateral Agent may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Collateral
Agent. CE Generation shall have the right to remove the Collateral Agent upon
thirty (30) days' notice to the Secured Parties with or without cause, effective
upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Section 13 which
is reasonably acceptable to the Required Secured Parties. If the Collateral
Agent shall resign or be removed as Collateral Agent by the Required Secured
Parties or CE Generation, as applicable, then the Required Secured Parties shall
(and if no such successor shall have been appointed within thirty (30) days of
the Collateral Agent's resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent may) appoint
a successor agent for the Secured Parties, which successor agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to CE Generation, whereupon such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the "Collateral Agent", and the term
"Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its
appointment, and except as provided in Sections 12(a) and 12(b) above, the
former Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be
terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Collateral Agent (except that the resigning Collateral Agent shall deliver all
Collateral then in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent) or any of
the other Secured Parties. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was Collateral Agent.
Section 14. Agreement for Benefit of Parties Hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon,
