without the consent of the Holders, by a Supplemental Indenture authorized by a
resolution of the Board of Directors of CE Generation filed with, and in form
satisfactory to, the Trustee, solely for one or more of the following purposes:

under the Indenture;

conditions set forth in Section 2.3 of the Indenture;
(iv) for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of the
Indenture to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained therein or in any Supplemental Indenture which may
be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained therein
or in any Supplemental Indenture;
(v) in connection with, and to reflect, any amendments to the
provisions hereof required by the Rating Agencies in circumstances
where confirmation of the Ratings is required under the Indenture in
connection with the issuance of Additional Securities or the taking of
other actions by CE Generation; provided, however, that such amendments
are not, in the judgment of the Trustee, to the prejudice of the
Trustee or the Holders; or
(vi) to provide for the issuance of Exchange Securities, as
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) With Consent of Holders. The Indenture may be amended or

any such amendment shall be given by CE Generation to any Rating Agency then
maintaining a Rating for the Securities.
4. Replacement, Exchange and Transfer of Securities. (a) If any
Security shall become mutilated, CE Generation shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of like tenor, maturity and
denomination in exchange and substitution for the Security so mutilated, but
only upon surrender to the Trustee of such mutilated Security for cancellation,
and CE Generation or the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity therefor. If
any Security shall be reported lost, stolen or destroyed, evidence as to the
ownership and the loss, theft or destruction thereof shall be submitted to the
Trustee. If such evidence shall be satisfactory to both the Trustee and CE
Generation and indemnity satisfactory to both shall be given, CE Generation
shall execute, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new
Security of like tenor, maturity and denomination. The cost of providing any
substitute Security under the provisions of Section 2.10 of the Indenture shall
be borne by the Holder for whose benefit such substitute Security is provided.
If any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Security shall have matured or
be about to mature, CE Generation may, with the consent of the Trustee, pay to
the Holder thereof the principal amount of such Security upon the maturity
thereof and compliance with the aforesaid conditions by such Holder, without the
issuance of a substitute Security therefor, and likewise pay to the Holder the
amount of the unpaid interest, if any, which would have been paid on a
substitute Security had one been issued.
(b) Every substitute Security issued pursuant to Section 2.10 of the
Indenture shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of CE
Generation, whether or not the Security alleged to have been mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall
be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionally
with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.
(c) All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition
that the foregoing provisions are, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude any and all other rights and
remedies with respect thereto.
5. Trustee. For a description of the duties and the immunities and
rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, reference is made to the Indenture,
and the obligations of the Trustee to the holder hereof are subject to such
immunities and rights.
6. Paying Agents; Transfer Agents; Registrars. CE Generation has
initially appointed the Trustee as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar.
CE Generation may, subject to the terms of the Indenture, at any time appoint
additional or other paying agents, transfer agents and registrars and terminate
the appointment thereof; provided that while the Securities are Outstanding CE
Generation will maintain offices or agencies for payment of principal of and
interest on this Security as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York. Notice of any such termination or appointment and of any
change in the office through which
Exhibit B-3
any paying agent, transfer agent or registrar will act will be promptly given in
the manner described in Section 8 hereof.
7. Enforcement. (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the
provisions of Article 6 of the Indenture, a Holder shall not have the right to
institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity or otherwise for
the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under
or upon the Indenture, unless:
(i) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) Holders representing the percentage of aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Securities needed to initiate the exercise of remedies
shall have requested the Trustee in writing to institute such suit, action
or proceeding;
(iii) the Trustee shall have refused or neglected to institute any
such suit, action or proceeding for sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice by the Trustee; and
(iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Majority
Holders.
(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, it is understood and
intended that one or more of the Holders shall not have any right in any manner
whatsoever hereunder or under the Indenture to (i) surrender, impair, waive,
affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Security Documents on any property
subject thereto or the rights of any other Holders, (ii) obtain or seek to
obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or (iii) enforce any right
hereunder or under the Indenture, except in the manner provided herein or in the
Indenture and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all of the Holders.
8. Notices. Notices will be mailed to Holders at their addresses as
they appear in the Securities Register. Notice sent by first class mail, postage
prepaid, shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing. In

certain conditions, subject to redemption at the option of CE Generation as set
