itself or any of its nominees or trustees in lieu of CE Generation, to
cause all revenues hereby pledged as security and all other moneys
pledged hereunder to be paid directly to it, and to enforce its rights
hereunder to such payments and all other rights hereunder by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as it shall deem most effective to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or
otherwise, whether for specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in any of the Contracts, or in aid of the exercise
of any power therein or herein granted, or for any foreclosure
hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial
proceeding, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in
it by this Agreement or by law whether in
14
CE Generation's name, in the Collateral Agent's name or in the name of
any of the Collateral Agent's designees;
(c) cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding
to be instituted and prosecuted to collect or enforce any of the
Secured Obligations or any rights hereunder or included in the CE
Generation Collateral, or to foreclose or enforce any other agreement
or other instrument by or under or pursuant to which such Secured
Obligations are issued or secured, subject in each case to the
provisions and requirements thereof;
(d) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the CE
Generation Collateral or cause the CE Generation Collateral to be sold
or otherwise disposed of and take possession of the proceeds of any
such sale or liquidation;
(e) incur reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
consultants' fees and other costs appropriate to the exercise of any
right or power under this Agreement;
(f) perform any obligation of CE Generation hereunder or under any
other Financing Document, and make payments, purchase, contest or
compromise any encumbrance, charge or Lien, and pay taxes and
expenses, without, however, any obligation so to do;
(g) take possession of the CE Generation Collateral and render it
usable, and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any
obligation so to do, and enter upon any location where the same may be
located, control, manage, operate, rent or lease the CE Generation
Collateral, collect all rents and income from the CE Generation
Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Secured Parties for any
costs or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Financing
Documents and to the payment or performance of CE Generation's
obligations hereunder or under any of the Financing Documents and apply
the balance to the Secured Obligations;
(h) secure the appointment of a receiver of the CE Generation
Collateral or any part thereof; or
(i) take possession of the CE Generation Collateral or any part
thereof by directing CE Generation in writing to turn over the CE
Generation Collateral to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place
or places designated
15
by the Collateral Agent, in which event CE Generation shall at its own
expense
(1) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places
so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the
Collateral Agent,
(2) store and keep any CE Generation Collateral so delivered to
the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action
by the Collateral Agent, and
(3) while CE Generation Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be reasonably
necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such CE
Generation Collateral in good condition.
The parties hereto hereby agree that CE Generation's obligation to deliver the
CE Generation Collateral as set forth above is of the essence of this Agreement
and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring
specific performance by CE Generation of such obligation.
Section 8.2 Remedies; Disposition of the CE Generation Collateral. (a)
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any CE Generation
Collateral, whether or not repossessed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 8.1, may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place
of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or
times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in
compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be
commercially reasonable, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent
were the absolute owner thereof.
(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject
to clause (a) of this Section 8.2, any CE Generation Collateral may be sold,
leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when
taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the
Collateral Agent, upon consultation with such Persons, including independent
consultants and engineers, as it shall deem appropriate, shall determine to be
commercially reasonable. Any such disposition shall be made upon not less than
ten (10) Business Days' written notice to CE Generation specifying the time such
disposition is to be made and, if such
16
disposition shall be a public sale, specifying the place of such sale. Any such
sale may be adjourned by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it
was so adjourned. CE Generation hereby waives any claims against the Collateral
Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which CE Generation
Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that
might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount
of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer
received or does not offer the CE Generation Collateral to more than one
offeree. All fees of the Collateral Agent and all expenses (including court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements) of, or
incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof shall be
recoverable from the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the CE
Generation Collateral.
Section 8.3 Purchase of the CE Generation Collateral. Any purchaser
of all or any part of the CE Generation Collateral shall, upon any such
purchase, acquire good title to the CE Generation Collateral so purchased, free
of the security interests created by this Agreement.
Section 8.4 Waiver. (a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, CE GENERATION HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S TAKING
POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE CE GENERATION
COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREE MENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH CE GENERATION WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE OR UNDER ANY
OTHER RELEVANT LAW AND CE GENERATION HEREBY FURTHER WAIVES:
(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, except
any damages which are finally judicially determined to have been the
direct result of the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct;
(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of
sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the
Collateral Agent's rights hereunder; and
17
(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable
law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or
the absolute sale of the CE Generation Collateral or any portion
thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and CE Generation, for
itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they may now or
hereafter lawfully do so, hereby waives the benefit of such laws.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CE Generation
hereby waives and releases any and all rights to require the Collateral Agent or
the Secured Parties to collect any of the Secured Obligations from any specific
item or items of CE Generation Collateral or from any other party liable as
guarantor or in any other manner in respect of any of the Secured Obligations or
from any collateral (other than the CE Generation Collateral) for any of the
Secured Obligations.
(c) Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other
realization upon, any CE Generation Collateral pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand,
either at law or in equity, of CE Generation therein and thereto, and shall be a
perpetual bar both at law and in equity against CE Generation and against any
and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the CE Generation Collateral so
sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under CE
Generation.
Section 8.5 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under
this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then, in every such
case, CE Generation, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Secured
Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder
with respect to the CE Generation Collateral, subject to the security interest
created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 8.6 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of CE
Generation Collateral. The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the CE Generation Collateral
in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect from time to time in the State of New York or otherwise, shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property
for its own account. In any event, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation hereunder to take any steps to preserve
18
rights against prior parties to any CE Generation Collateral and (ii) none of
the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the CE Generation Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any CE
Generation Collateral upon the request of CE Generation or otherwise.
Section 8.7 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply
any proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any
collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale with respect
to the CE Generation Collateral in accordance with the relevant provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that
CE Generation shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency between the
amount of the proceeds of the CE Generation Collateral and the aggregated
amount of the Secured Obligations.
Section 8.8 Expenses. CE Generation shall upon demand pay to the
Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, and
any transfer taxes, in each case payable upon sale of the CE Generation
Collateral, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization
upon, any of the CE Generation Collateral pursuant to the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (ii) the
failure by CE Generation to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof,
together with interest thereon from the date of demand at a rate per annum equal
to the Default Rate. Any amount payable by CE Generation pursuant to this
Section 8.8 shall be payable on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations
secured hereby.

Agreement.
Section 9.4 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount

or upon the entry of an order by any court avoiding the payment of such amount,
or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
Section 9.5 Independent Security. The security provided for in this
Agreement shall be in addition to and shall be independent of every other
security which the Secured Parties may at any time hold for any of the Secured
Obligations hereby secured, whether or not under the Security Documents. The
execution of any other Security Document shall not modify or supersede the
security interest or any rights or obligations contained in this Agreement and
shall not in any way affect, impair or invalidate the effectiveness and validity
of this Agreement or any term or condition hereof. CE Generation hereby waives
its rights to plead or claim in any court that the execution of any other
Security Document is a cause for extinguishing, invalidating, impairing or
modifying the effectiveness and validity of this Agreement or any term or
condition contained herein. The Collateral Agent shall be at liberty to accept
further security from CE Generation or from any third party and/or release such
security without notifying CE Generation and without affecting in any way the
obligations of CE Generation under the Security Documents or the other Financing

specific purpose for which given.
Section 9.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon CE Generation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns. CE Generation may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of
the Collateral Agent.
Section 9.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. The agreements of the parties
hereto are intended to benefit the Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns.
Section 9.9 Survival. All agreements, statements, representations and
warranties made by CE Generation herein or in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by CE Generation or on its behalf under this Agreement
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents until termination thereof or the indefeasible
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all of the Secured Obligations
regardless of any investigation made by the Collateral Agent or the Secured
Parties, or made on their behalf.
Section 9.10 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
part of the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder and no course of dealing between CE Generation and the Collateral
Agent shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Collateral
Agent would otherwise have.
Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts,

New York General Obligations Law).
(b) Any legal action or proceeding against CE Generation with
respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York
in the County of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of
New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, CE Generation hereby
irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. CE Generation agrees

irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System, with
offices on the date hereof at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its

may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions
or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Financing Document brought in the courts referred to in clause (b) above and
hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such
court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.
(d) WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, CE GENERATION AND THE COLLATERAL
AGENT HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
