The Facility Lessee agrees that, to the extent that the rights described in Section 3.1(n) which have already been made available to the Owner Lessor prior to the expiration or termination of the Facility Lease Term, and any rights assigned pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 5.30, are insufficient to permit on a commercially practicable basis during the period following the expiration or termination of the Facility Lease Term, until the end of the Facility's useful life as set forth in the Closing Appraisal, (i) the location, occupation, interconnection (including with respect to electricity, steam, gas and water), maintenance and repair of the Facility, (ii) the use, operation and possession of the Facility, (iii) the use, operation, possession, maintenance, replacement, renewal and repair of all Improvements then required to be made to the Facility, (iv) adequate ingress to and egress from the Facility in connection with the ownership, use, maintenance or operation of the Facility, (v) adequate transmission of electricity from the Facility to enable such Person to deliver the net electrical and steam output of the Facility on a commercially reasonable basis and (vi) the interest of the Owner Lessor (or any successor) in the Undivided Interest or the Ground Interest, the Facility Lessee will cause Calpine to provide, and Calpine will provide, the Owner Lessor with any additional services relating to the Owner Lessor's Interest and operation of the Facility substantially in the same 37 manner as operated as of the Closing Date (to the extent Calpine or any Affiliate thereof then owns or controls the physical assets and/or contractual rights necessary to provide such services (or can enter into contracts on a commercially reasonable basis for such ownership, control or other rights) and remains in the business of providing such services) necessary to permit the Owner Lessor to use the Facility as described in (i) through (vi) above. Such arrangements will provide for fair market value compensation to Calpine (payable periodically on no more frequently than a monthly and no less frequently than on a quarterly basis) and will terminate upon the expiration or termination of the Facility Site Lease, or earlier at the option of the Owner Lessor. The Facility Lessee shall also, subject to obtaining any required third party consents, assign to the Owner Lessor upon termination of the Facility Lease any support or similar agreements to the extent relating to the Facility it has with third parties. Insurance. The Facility Lessee shall comply with the covenants set forth in Schedule 5.31. Tax Status. The Facility Lessee and each Person owning an Ownership Interest therein will not voluntarily take any action to cause the Facility Lessee to be subject to taxation as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Transmission Assets. If and to the extent that on the Closing Date the FERC Order referred to in clause (v) of the definition thereof has not been obtained with respect to the jurisdictional facilities referred to therein (which facilities are identified in Exhibit A as Transmission Assets (the "Transmission Assets")), the Owner Participant shall, upon 5 days' prior written notice to the Facility Lessee, and subject to the grant of the aforesaid order, cause the Owner Lessor to acquire an undivided interest equal to the Owner Lessor's Percentage in the Facility Lessee's right, title and interest in the Transmission Assets, for a price equal to $1.00. Upon payment by the Owner Lessor of such amount, the Facility Lessee shall execute and deliver such documentation as is reasonably requested by the Owner Lessor to transfer such undivided interest in the Facility Lessee's right, title and interest in the Transmission Assets to the Owner Lessor. Upon such transfer such Undivided Interest shall be and shall be deemed to be an integral part of the Undivided Interest (to the extent constituting a portion of the Facility) and the Ground Interest (to the extent constituting a portion of the leasehold interest in the Facility Site) for all purposes of the Operative Documents without the necessity of amending or supplementing any Operative Document, subject nevertheless to Section 14.15 hereof. Without limiting Section 10 hereof or Section 4.2 of the Facility Lease, the Facility Lessee agrees that from and after the Closing Date and until the earlier to occur of (A) the transfer referred to in clause (a) above and (B) the termination of the Facility Lease, the Facility Lessee shall make available to the Owner Lessor, for no additional compensation, such rights in the Transmission Assets solely to the extent as shall be necessary so that the representation in Section 3.1(n) will be correct to the same extent as if such transfer had occurred on the Closing Date. 38 COVENANTS OF THE OWNER LESSOR, THE TRUST COMPANY AND THE LESSOR MANAGER Compliance with the LLC Agreement.

COVENANTS OF THE OWNER PARTICIPANT Restrictions on Transfer of Member Interest. The Owner Participant covenants and agrees that it shall not during the Facility Lease Term assign, convey or transfer any of its right, title or interest in the Member Interest without the prior written consent of the Facility Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Collateral Trust Indenture has not been terminated or discharged, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Owner Participant may, subject to Section 7.6, assign, convey or transfer all or any part of its interest in the Member Interest without such consent to a Person (the "Transferee") which shall assume the duties and obligations of the Owner Participant under the Operative Documents with respect to the interest being transferred pursuant to an OP Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, if each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied on or prior to such transfer: the Facility Lessee, the Indenture Trustee and the Pass Through Trustees shall have received an opinion(s) of counsel (including an opinion with respect to a guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 7.1, if applicable), which opinion(s) and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to each such recipient and consistent in scope to the opinions delivered on behalf of the Owner Participant at the Closing, including that all regulatory approvals required in connection with such transfer or necessary to assume the Owner Participant's obligations under the Operative Documents shall have been obtained and that the proposed transfer of the Member Interest will not require registration under the Securities Act; the Transferee shall be a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; the Transferee shall be either (A) an Affiliate of the transferor Owner Participant which does not otherwise qualify under clause (B) below (but in any event, such Affiliate shall not be a Competitor of Calpine); provided that all of the payment and performance obligations of the Transferee with respect to the interest being transferred under the Operative Documents shall be guaranteed by the transferor Owner Participant, or a Person then providing a guaranty of the transferor Owner Participant's obligations hereunder, pursuant to an OP Parent Guaranty or (B) a Person which meets, or the payment and performance obligations of which with respect to the interest being transferred under the Operative Documents are guaranteed (pursuant to a OP Parent Guaranty) by a Person (the transferor Owner Participant or such other guarantor, the "Transferee Guarantor") which meets, the following criteria: (1) the tangible net worth of the Transferee or Transferee Guarantor, is at least equal to $75 million calculated in accordance with GAAP; and (2) unless waived in writing by the Facility Lessee prior to such transfer, such Transferee is not a Competitor of Calpine or in material litigation against the Facility Lessee or any Affiliate of the Facility Lessee without the consent of the Facility Lessee; and 41 upon consummation of such transfer, there shall not be more than four (4) Owner Participants for the Overall Transaction; provided that any related Owner Participants that shall have the same decision maker and vote their interest together as a single vote shall count as one for purposes of this clause (iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 shall not inure to the benefit of the Facility Lessee if such transfer occurs during the continuance of a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default. For purposes of determining whether a Transferee is a "Competitor" of Calpine, Calpine shall provide to the transferor Owner Participant on or prior to the Closing Date a list of entities which Calpine reasonably believes in its good faith judgment are competitors of Calpine or any of its Affiliates, in the business in which Calpine or any of its Affiliates is engaged as of the Closing Date, which list shall be attached to this Agreement as Exhibit K. Any such Person on such list shall be deemed to be a "Competitor" for purposes of Section 7.1(a). The initial list of Competitors may be modified or supplemented (in a manner consistent with the first sentence of this clause (b)), from time to time, but no later than five (5) Business Days after the Facility Lessee receives each notice from the Owner Participant of its intent to transfer its interest and, in addition, no more than once in any calendar year plus each time the Facility Lessee receives such notice of transfer from the Owner Participant, and such list as modified shall govern for the purposes of this Section 7.1(b).

If requested by the Owner Participant or the Indenture Trustee, the Facility Lessee will acknowledge qualifying transfers. All reasonable fees, expenses and charges of the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustees, and the Facility Lessee (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with any such transfer or proposed transfer), including any of the foregoing relating to any amendments to the Operative Documents required in connection therewith, shall be paid on an After-Tax Basis by the Owner Lessor, without any right of indemnification from the Facility Lessee or any other Person; provided, however, that the Owner Participant shall have no obligation to pay fees, expenses or charges of the Facility Lessee as a result of any transfer while a Significant Lease Default or a Lease Event of Default is continuing, in which case the Facility Lessee shall be obligated to pay such costs. Upon any such transfer in compliance with this Section 7.1, (i) such Transferee shall (x) be deemed the "Owner Participant" for all purposes, and (y) enjoy the rights and privileges and perform the obligations of the Owner Participant hereunder and under each of the OP Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Calpine Guaranty and each other Operative Document to which such Owner Participant is a party, and each reference in this Agreement, 42 the Calpine Guaranty and each other Operative Document to the "Owner Participant" shall thereafter be deemed to include such Transferee for all purposes and (ii) the transferor Owner Participant and the OP Guarantor, if any, of such transferor Owner Participant's obligations shall be released from all obligations hereunder and under each other Operative Document to which such transferor or OP Guarantor is a party or by which such transferor Owner Participant or OP Guarantor is bound to the extent such obligations are expressly assumed by a Transferee meeting the requirements of this Section 7.1; provided, however, that in no event shall any such transfer waive or release the transferor or its OP Guarantor from any liability accruing or existing in respect of any period occurring on or prior to or occurring simultaneously with such transfer. The transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 (other than the requirement that the Owner Participant and the Transferee enter into an OP Assignment and Assumption Agreement) shall also apply to any transfer of the equity ownership interests of an Owner Participant which has as its sole (or substantially equivalent to sole) business activity its participation in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. In the case of such a transfer of equity ownership interests which satisfies such restrictions of this Section 7.1, the Owner Participant's obligations under the Operative Documents shall continue, but the Owner Participant shall, except in the case of a transfer to a transferee described in clause (a)(iii)(A) above, procure a new OP Parent Guaranty from a guarantor meeting the requirements of clause (a)(iii)(B) above. 43 Owner Participant's Liens. The Owner Participant covenants that it will not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Owner Participant's Lien and the Owner Participant shall promptly notify the Facility Lessee and the Indenture Trustee of the imposition or existence of any such Lien of which the Owner Participant has Actual Knowledge and shall promptly, at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge such Owner Participant's Lien.

Bankruptcy Filings. The Owner Participant agrees that it will not file a petition, or join in the filing of a petition, seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of, or in respect of, the Owner Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other applicable federal or state law or the law of the District of Columbia. Instructions. The Owner Participant agrees that it will not instruct the Owner Lessor to take any action prohibited by this Agreement or any other Operative Document. Right of First Refusal. In the event the Owner Participant desires to sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer its Member Interest or cause the Owner Lessor to sell all or substantially all of the Owner Lessor's Interest at any time during the three (3) year period commencing on the termination or expiration of the Facility Lease (except in the event that a Lease Event of Default shall have existed at such time of termination or expiration), any such sale or other transfer shall be subject to the Facility Lessee's right of first refusal on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.6. The Owner Participant shall give the Facility Lessee prompt written notice of all bona fide offers that have been received from any other Person to purchase or acquire its interest of the Owner Lessor's Interest or the Member Interest of the Owner Participant, and which offers it wishes to accept, together with a full and complete statement of the price and all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in such offers. The Facility Lessee shall thereafter have the right within a period of 45 days from and after the receipt by them of such notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Owner Participant of its intent to exercise its right of first refusal. If the Facility Lessee elects to exercise the right provided in the preceding sentence, it will within 60 days of such notice (the "Agreement Period") execute a contract on the same terms and conditions as the offer giving rise to such right. If the Facility Lessee does not give such notice to the Owner Participant within the 45 day period or execute such a contract within 60 days of such notice, the Owner Participant will be free to proceed under the terms and conditions set forth in its notice to the Facility Lessee, unless the failure to execute the contract within 60 days is attributable to acts or omissions of the Owner Participant. In the event that 44 such terms are revised in any way that changes the agreement for sale, lease, conveyance or transfer such that the terms of the sale are less favorable to the Owner Participant (it being understood and agreed that any reduction in the price or a change in the terms of payment thereof in a manner beneficial to the potential purchaser shall be deemed to be less favorable to the Owner Participant), the Owner Participant shall again comply with the notice and right of first refusal provisions of this Section prior to entering into such revised agreement; provided that, for such revised offer, the Notice Period shall be 10 Business Days from the date of such new notice, and the Agreement Period shall not exceed 45 days from the date of the Facility Lessee's notice accepting such new terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, concurrently with the Owner Participant's offer to sell its Member Interest pursuant to this Section 7.6, it or one of its Affiliates offers to sell any interest in an owner lessor who has entered into any Other RockGen Facility Lease, then the Facility Lessee shall exercise its purchase rights under this Section 7.6 only if, concurrently therewith, it exercises its purchase rights under Section 7.6 of each such Other RockGen Facility Lease. Prohibition on Fundamental Changes. If the Owner Participant is an entity which has as its sole (or substantially equivalent to sole) business activity, the participation in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents, the Owner Participant shall not change its form of organization and shall not enter into or engage in any business other than as contemplated by the Operative Documents and the activities related thereto. Appointment of Successor Lessor Manager. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a successor Lessor Manager shall not be appointed by the Owner Participant without the consent of the Facility Lessee and, so long as the Lien of the Collateral Trust Indenture has not been terminated or discharged and the Indenture Trustee unless such successor Lessor Manager (a) meets the requirements of the LLC Agreement, (b) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $150 million, and (c) the Facility Lessee and, so long as Lien of the Collateral Trust Indenture has not been terminated or discharged, the Indenture Trustee, shall have received at the expense of Facility Lessee on an After-Tax Basis: (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel, such counsel and such opinion to be reasonably acceptable to such parties, to the effect that no regulatory consents or approvals are required, or (ii) such other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Lessee or the Indenture Trustee as the case may be. Cooperation. The Owner Lessor agrees, and each of the Owner Participant and the Lessor Manager agree to cause the Owner Lessor to, at the request of the Facility Lessee and at the sole cost and expense of the Facility Lessee on an After-Tax Basis, take such actions as may be necessary for the Owner Lessor to take as the holder of the leasehold interest in the Facility for purposes of obtaining the valid and effective issue, transfer or amendment, as the case may be, of all Governmental Approvals to the extent the same are required for the use, ownership, operation or maintenance of the Facility, the Facility Site, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest or any Component by the Facility Lessee or any permitted assignee of the Facility Lessee in the manner contemplated by the Operative Documents, except to the extent the same involves any (i) material risk of foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on, the Facility, the Undivided Interest or the Facility Site or the impairment of 45 the use, operation or maintenance of the Facility or the Facility Site in any material respect, (ii) the risk of criminal liability being incurred by the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Equity Investor or the OP Guarantor, or (so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding and the Lien of the Lease Indenture has not been discharged) the Indenture Trustee or the Pass Through Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates or (iii) material risk of any material adverse effect on the interests of the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Equity Investor or the OP Guarantor, or (so long as the Lessor Notes are outstanding and the Lien of the Collateral Trust Indenture has not been discharged) the Indenture Trustee or the Pass Through Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, subjecting any such Person to regulation as a public utility under any applicable law. The Facility Lessee shall pay on an After-Tax Basis all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Owner Lessor and each other Person party to an Operative Document incurred in connection with any such action. It is understood and agreed that, with respect to the action requested of it, and taken by it, under this Section 7.9, the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant and the Lessor Manager shall make no representation or warranty as to, and shall have no responsibility for, the effectiveness of such action to accomplish or promote the objective intended by the Person making such request. COVENANTS OF THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND THE PASS THROUGH TRUSTEES Indenture Trustee's Liens. Neither the Lease Indenture Company, nor the Indenture Trustee will directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indenture Trustee's Lien attributable to it and arising out of events or conditions not related to its rights in the Indenture Estate or the administration thereof, and will promptly notify the Owner Participant, the Lessor Manager, the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee of the imposition of any such Lien of which it has Actual Knowledge and shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days of obtaining Actual Knowledge of such Lien), at its own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge such Indenture Trustee's Lien. Pass Through Trustees' Covenant Not to Transfer Lessor Notes. The Pass Through Trustees agree that it will not transfer any Lessor Note (or any part thereof) to any entity (except to a successor Pass Through Trustee appointed pursuant to the terms of the Pass through Trust Agreement) until it receives from such entity a certification which makes a representation and warranty as of the date of such transfer that no part of the funds to be used by it for the purchase and holding of such Lessor Note (or any part thereof) constitutes assets of any Plan or that such purchase and holding will be covered by a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.

with respect to a particular Indemnitee and Related Parties, any offer, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition (voluntary or involuntary) by or on behalf of (A) in the case of the Owner Participant, the Owner Participant of its Member Interest or with respect to any Related Party, its direct or indirect interest in the Owner Participant, (B) in the case of the Owner Lessor, and if such action is taken at the written direction of the Owner Participant, the Owner Participant, and Related Parties, the Owner Lessor of all or any of the Owner Lessor's Interest, (C) the Indenture Trustee of all or any of its interest in the Lessor Notes, unless, in any such case referred to in this paragraph (ii), such transfer is required by the terms of the Operative Documents or occurs during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default; (provided that this paragraph (ii) shall not serve to cap the indemnity to be received by a transferee Indemnitee for a Claim (other than a Claim relating solely to or arising solely out of any offer, transfer, sale, assignment or other disposition of any such rights or interests) 48 based on what the relevant transferor Indemnitee would have received had no such transfer occurred); with respect to any Indemnitee, any Claim attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a Related Party except to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is attributable to any breach by the Facility Lessee (or any of them) or any other Calpine Party of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Operative Document or (ii) any violation of Applicable Law by any such Person except to the extent attributable to a violation of Applicable Law by the Facility Lessee or any other Calpine Party or to any breach by the Facility Lessee or such other Calpine Party of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Operative Document; as to any Indemnitee, any Claim to the extent attributable to the noncompliance of such Indemnitee or a Related Party, with any of the terms of, or any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by such Indemnitee or Related Party contained in any Operative Document made by such Indemnitee or Related Party or any breach by such Indemnitee or a Related Party of any covenant contained in any Operative Document or any breach by such Indemnitee or a Related Party of any covenant contained in any Operative Document made by such Indemnitee or Related Party except to the extent attributable to any breach by the Facility Lessee or any other Calpine Party of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Operative Document; any Claim constituting or arising from an Owner Lessor's Lien; with respect to the Indenture Trustee and the Lease Indenture Company, any Claim constituting or arising from a Indenture Trustee's Lien; with respect to the Owner Participant, any claim constituting or arising from an Owner Participant's Lien; any Claim that is a Tax, or is a cost of contesting a Tax whether or not the Facility Lessee is required to indemnify therefor pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof or under the Tax Indemnity Agreement; any failure on the part of the Lessor Manager to distribute in accordance with the LLC Agreement any amounts received by it under the Operative Documents and distributable by it thereunder; a Claim arising out of a Indenture Default or Lease Indenture Event of Default that is not also (or attributable to) a Lease Default or Lease Event of Default;

provided that the terms "omission," "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct," when applied with respect to the Owner Lessor, the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Trustees or any Affiliate of any thereof, shall not include any liability imputed as a matter of law to such Indemnitee solely by reason of any such entity's interest in the Facility or the Facility Site or such Indemnitee's failure to act in respect of matters which are or were the obligation of the Facility Lessee under this Agreement or any other Operative Document. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a guaranty of any useful life or any present or future residual value of the Facility or a guaranty that any amount of any Secured Indebtedness will be paid. Insured Claims. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) of this Section 9.1, in the case of any Claim indemnified by the Facility Lessee hereunder which is covered by a policy of insurance maintained by the Facility Lessee, each Indemnitee agrees, unless it and each other Indemnitee shall waive its rights to indemnification (for itself and each Related Party thereto) in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee, to cooperate, at the sole cost and expense of the Facility Lessee, with insurers in exercise of their rights to investigate, defend or compromise such Claim. After-Tax Basis. The Facility Lessee agrees that any payment or indemnity pursuant to this Section 9.1 in respect of any Claim shall be made on an After-Tax Basis to the Indemnitees. Claims Procedure. Each Indemnitee shall promptly after such Indemnitee shall have Actual Knowledge thereof notify the Facility Lessee of any Claim as to which indemnification is sought; provided, that the failure so to notify the Facility Lessee shall not reduce or affect the Facility Lessee's liability which it may have to such Indemnitee under this Section 9.1, and no payment hereunder by the Facility Lessee to an Indemnitee shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any right or remedy that the Facility Lessee may have against any such Indemnitee for actual damages resulting directly from the failure or delay of such Indemnitee to give the Facility Lessee such notice. Subject to the foregoing, any amount payable to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written demand therefor from such Indemnitee, accompanied by a certificate of such Indemnitee stating in reasonable detail the basis for the indemnification thereby sought and (if such Indemnitee is not a party hereto) an agreement to be bound by the terms hereof as if such Indemnitee were such a party. The foregoing shall not, however, constitute an obligation to disclose confidential information of any kind without the execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement. Promptly after the Facility Lessee receives notification of such Claim accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the Claims which are the subject of and basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable, the Facility Lessee shall, without affecting its obligations hereunder, notify such Indemnitee whether it intends to pay, object to, compromise or defend any matter involving the asserted liability of such Indemnitee. The Facility Lessee shall have the right to investigate and so long as no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default 50 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Facility Lessee shall have the right in its sole discretion, to defend or compromise any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.1 which the Facility Lessee acknowledges is subject to indemnification hereunder; provided that no such defense or compromise shall involve any danger of (i) foreclosure, sale, forfeiture or loss of, or imposition of a Lien on any part of the Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, the Facility Site, the Lessor Estate or the Indenture Estate or the impairment of the Facility or the Facility Site, in any material respect or (ii) any criminal liability being incurred or any material adverse effect on such Indemnitee; provided, further, that no Claim shall be compromised by the Facility Lessee on a basis that admits any criminal violation or gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnitee without the express written consent of such Indemnitee; and provided, further, that to the extent that other Claims unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents are part of the same proceeding involving such Claim, the Facility Lessee may assume responsibility for the contest or compromise of such Claim only if the same may be and is severed from such other Claims (and each Indemnitee agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain such a severance). In the event that in the course of the investigation or defense of a claim, the Facility Lessee shall in good faith reasonably determine that it is not liable for indemnification with respect thereto under this Section 9.1, it may give notice to the applicable Indemnitee of such fact; and, in such case, any acknowledgment, theretofore made by the Facility Lessee of liability with respect to such claim under this Section 9.1 shall be deemed revoked, and the Facility Lessee may thereupon cease to defend such claim; provided that (i) the Facility Lessee shall have given the Indemnitee reasonable prior notice of its intention to renounce such acknowledgment, (ii) the Facility Lessee's conduct regarding the defense of such claim or any decision to withdraw from such defense shall not prejudice or have prejudiced the Indemnitee's ability to contest such claim (taking into account, among other things, the timing of the Facility Lessee's withdrawal and the theory or theories upon which the Facility Lessee shall have based its defense), and (iii) the Facility Lessee shall have given such Indemnitee all materials, documents and records relating to its defense of such claim as such Indemnitee shall have reasonably requested in connection with the assumption by such Indemnitee of the defense of such claim at the cost and expense of the Facility Lessee. In the event that the Facility Lessee shall cease to defend any claim pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Facility Lessee shall indemnify each Indemnitee, without regard to any exclusion that might otherwise apply hereunder, to the extent that the actions of the Facility Lessee in defending such claim or the manner or time of the Facility Lessee's election to withdraw from the defense of such claim shall have caused such Indemnitee to incur any loss, cost, liability or expense which such Indemnitee would not have incurred had the Facility Lessee not ceased to defend such claim in such manner or such time. If the Facility Lessee elect, subject to the foregoing, to compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it may do so at its own expense and by counsel selected by it. Upon the Facility Lessee's election to compromise or defend such asserted liability and prompt notification to such Indemnitee of its intent to do so, such Indemnitee shall cooperate at the Facility Lessee's expense with all reasonable requests of the Facility Lessee in connection therewith and will provide the Facility Lessee with all information not within the control of the Facility Lessee as is reasonably available to such Indemnitee which the Facility Lessee may reasonably request; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall not, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, be obligated to disclose to the Facility Lessee or any other Person, or permit 51 the Facility Lessee or any other Person to examine (i) any income tax returns of the Owner Participant or (ii) any confidential information or pricing information not generally accessible by the public possessed by the Owner Participant (and, in the event that any such information is made available, the Facility Lessee shall treat such information as confidential and shall take all actions reasonably requested by such Indemnitee for purposes of obtaining a stipulation from all parties to the related proceeding providing for the confidential treatment of such information from all such parties). Where the Facility Lessee, or the insurers under a policy of insurance maintained by the Facility Lessee undertakes the defense of such Indemnitee with respect to a Claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and without reservation of rights against such Indemnitee), no additional legal fees or expenses of such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim shall be indemnified hereunder unless such fees or expenses were incurred at the request of the Facility Lessee or such insurers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may participate at its own expense in any judicial proceeding controlled by the Facility Lessee pursuant to the preceding provisions, but only to the extent that such party's participation does not in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Facility Lessee interfere with such control or defense of such claim; provided, however, that such party's participation does not constitute a waiver of the indemnification provided in this Section 9.1; provided, further, that if and to the extent that (i) such Indemnitee is advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such Indemnitee to be represented by separate counsel or (ii) there is a risk that such Indemnitee may be subject to criminal liability and such Indemnitee informs the Facility Lessee that such Indemnitee desires to be represented by separate counsel, such Indemnitee shall have the right to control its own defense of such Claim and the reasonable fees and expenses of such defense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel) shall be borne by the Facility Lessee. So long as no Lease Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Section 16 of the Facility Lease has occurred and be continuing, no Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Facility Lessee unless (i) the Indemnitee waives its rights to indemnification hereunder or (ii) the Facility Lessee has not acknowledged their indemnity obligation with respect thereto and there is a significant risk that a default judgment will be entered against such Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Section 9.1(e) shall be deemed to require an Indemnitee to contest any Claim or to assume responsibility for or control of any judicial proceeding with respect thereto. Subrogation. To the extent that a Claim indemnified by the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.1 is in fact paid in full by the Facility Lessee or an insurer under an insurance policy maintained by the Facility Lessee (so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), such insurer shall be subrogated to the rights and remedies of the Indemnitee on whose behalf such Claim was paid to the extent of such payment (other than rights of such Indemnitee under insurance policies maintained at its own expense) with respect to the transaction or event giving rise to such Claim. Should an Indemnitee receive any refund, in whole or in part, with respect to any Claim paid by the Facility Lessee hereunder, it shall promptly pay over to the Facility Lessee the lesser of (i) the amount refunded reduced by the amount of any Tax incurred by reason of the receipt or accrual of such refund and increased by the amount of any Tax (but not in excess of the amount of such reduction) saved as a result of such payment or (ii) the amount the Facility Lessee or any of 52 their insurers has paid in respect of such Claim; provided that, so long as a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing such amount may be held by the Owner Lessor as security for the Facility Lessee's obligations under the Facility Lease and the other Operative Documents. Minimize Claims. The Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor, and each of the other Transaction Parties will use their respective reasonable and diligent efforts to minimize Claims indemnifiable by the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.1, including by complying with reasonable requests by the Facility Lessee to do or to refrain from doing any act if such compliance is, in the good faith opinion of the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor, or such other Transaction Party, as the case may be, of a purely ministerial nature or otherwise has no unindemnified adverse impact on the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor, or such Transaction Party, as the case may be, or any Affiliate of any thereof or on the business or operations of any of the foregoing. General Tax Indemnity. Indemnity. Except as provided in paragraph (b), the Facility Lessee agrees to indemnify each of the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor, any OP Guarantor, the Trust Company in its individual capacity, the Lessor Manager, the Lease Indenture Company in its individual capacity, the Indenture Trustee, the Pass Through Company in its individual capacity, the Pass Through Trustees, each Certificateholder and their respective successors and assigns, the past and present partners or members of or holders of the ownership interests in, as the case may be, the Owner Participant (each of the foregoing, together with any Affiliate thereof, a "Tax Indemnitee") for, to hold each Tax Indemnitee harmless from and to defend each Tax Indemnitee against all Taxes that are imposed upon or with respect to or borne by or asserted against any Tax Indemnitee, the Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Facility Site, the Ground Interest, or any portion or Component thereof or any interest therein, or upon any Operative Document or interest therein, or in any way arising out of, in connection with or relating to, any of the following: the acceptance, rejection, delivery, construction, financing, refinancing, acquisition, operation, warranty, ownership, possession, maintenance, repair, lease, condition, alteration, modification, restoration, refurbishing, rebuilding, return, transport, assembly, repossession, servicing, dismantling, abandonment, retirement, decommissioning, preparation, installation, storage, replacement, purchase, sale or other disposition, insuring, sublease, or other use or non-use of, the imposition of any lien (or incurrence of any liability to refund or pay over any amount as a result of any lien) on, the Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, the Facility Site or any portion or Component thereof or any interest therein; the Facility, the Facility Site, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, any portion thereof or Component or interest therein, the applicability of the Facility Lease to the Facility or the Undivided Interest, or the conduct of the business or affairs of the Facility Lessee or Calpine, the Facility or the Facility Site; 53 the manufacture, design, purchase, acceptance, rejection, delivery, non-delivery, redelivery or condition of, or improvement to, the Facility, the Facility Site or any portion or Component thereof, or any interest therein; the Facility Lease, or any other Operative Document, the execution or delivery thereof, any other documents contemplated thereby or the performance, enforcement or amendment of any terms thereof; the payment or receipt of Periodic Rent and Supplemental Rent or any other payment, receipt or earning under the Facility Lease or the Facility Site Lease or arising from the Facility, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, the Facility Site, or any portion or Component thereof or any interest therein; any other amount paid or payable pursuant to the Operative Documents; the conveyance of title to the Undivided Interest; or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and without regard to paragraph (b) hereof, the Facility Lessee will indemnify the Owner Participant and the Owner Lessor on an After-Tax Basis for any Taxes collected by way of withholding (and any interest, penalties or additions to tax associated therewith) (or for the failure to withhold taxes) imposed on the Lessor Notes or the Additional Lessor Notes or any other payments to each Certificateholder or the Indenture Trustee (each a "Certificateholder Indemnitee"), including any penalties, interest, or additions to tax applicable in connection therewith; provided, however, that if the Facility Lessee is required, for any reason, to indemnify the Owner Participant or the Owner Lessor with respect to any failure to withhold such tax, and the withholding tax would otherwise be an Excluded Tax under Section 9.2(b) without regard to the first sentence of this paragraph, then the Certificateholder Indemnitee with respect to which such withholding was not made will pay the amount of tax not withheld to the relevant taxing authority if such taxes remain unpaid or will reimburse the Facility Lessee for the amount of tax not withheld, but paid to such taxing authority, on demand, plus interest at (a) the Lease Debt Rate during the period commencing on the date the Facility Lessee shall have made the indemnity payment to such taxing authority and ending the earlier of the date of repayment by such Tax Indemnitee and five Business Days after the date the Facility Lessee demands reimbursement thereof pursuant to this sentence, and (b) the Overdue Rate for the period thereafter to the date the Facility Lessee actually receives such payment. Excluded Taxes. The indemnity provided for in paragraph (a) above shall not extend to any of the following Taxes (the "Excluded Taxes"): Taxes imposed by the United States federal government or any state or local government, any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, imposed on, based on or measured by gross or net income, receipts, capital gain, capital or net worth, or conduct of business (other than, in each case, Taxes that are or are in the nature of sales, use, rental, license, value added (to the extent value added taxes are not imposed in clear and direct substitution for income taxes) or property taxes) ("Income Taxes"), including any such Taxes collected by way of 54 withholding, minimum or alternative minimum taxes, and franchise taxes; provided that this exclusion (i) shall not affect any express requirement that payments be made on an "after-tax" basis; Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee other than a Certificateholder Indemnitee that are attributable to any act, event or omission by such Tax Indemnitee that occurs after expiration or other termination of the Facility Lease and surrender of the Undivided Interest to the Owner Lessor or its successors (or in the case of a Certificateholder Indemnitee, Taxes imposed for any period after the repayment of the Lease Debt) in accordance with the Facility Lease, (as opposed to any act, event or omission occurring prior to or simultaneous with such expiration, termination or surrender (or, in the case of a Certificateholder Indemnitee, such repayment)), provided that this exclusion shall not apply so long as a Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee, unless such negligence or misconduct is imputed to such Tax Indemnitee solely as a result of its participation in the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents and not as a result of any action or inaction by such Tax Indemnitee; Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee arising from a breach by such Tax Indemnitee of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under any Operative Document except to the extent attributable to any breach by the Facility Lessee or any other Calpine Party of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Operative Document; Taxes (A) that are attributable to any voluntary direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer or other voluntary disposition or an involuntary direct or indirect transfer or disposition arising out of or caused by a bankruptcy or similar proceeding for relief of debtors in which such Tax Indemnitee is a debtor or a foreclosure by a creditor of (1) in the case of the Owner Lessor or the Owner Participant, the Owner Participant of all or part of its Member Interest or Undivided Interest, (2) in the case of the Owner Lessor or the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor of all or part of its interest in the Facility or the Facility Site (other than to a successor Lessor Manager), or (3) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee of any interest in the Lease Debt or the Indenture Estate, or (4) in the case of the Owner Lessor or the Owner Participant any direct or indirect interest in the Owner Lessor or the Owner Participant, including by reason of an election made pursuant to Section 338 of the Code, in each case to the extent imposed by reason of any transfer described in this clause (v)(A), or (B) to the extent that, under law in effect on the date of the transfer such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes that would be indemnified hereunder had there been no such assignment, sale, transfer or other voluntary disposition, unless such transfer or disposition occurs during the continuance of a Lease Event of Default or is otherwise pursuant to the Facility Lessee's exercise of its rights under the Operative Documents; provided that this exclusion shall not apply with respect to any initial syndication of interests in the Owner Participant accomplished prior to December 29, 2001; Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that would not have been imposed but for the creation or existence of any Owner Lessor's Lien or Owner Participant's Lien attributable to such Tax Indemnitee; 55 Taxes that are included as a part of the cost of the Facility; Taxes imposed on the Lessor Manager or the Indenture Trustee that are based on or measured by the fees or other compensation received by the Lessor Manager or Indenture Trustee for acting in their respective capacities. With respect to the Owner Participant, Taxes for which the Facility Lessee is obligated to indemnify the Owner Participant under the Tax Indemnity Agreement (or which are expressly excluded from indemnification thereunder); Taxes that are imposed on a Tax Indemnitee (other than a Certificateholder Indemnitee) resulting from the Owner Lessor not being treated as a grantor trust or other conduit entity for federal, state or local income tax purposes, but only to the extent such Taxes exceed Taxes indemnified hereunder that otherwise would have been imposed and are otherwise indemnifiable; Taxes imposed on a Tax Indemnitee that are attributable to the failure of such Tax Indemnitee to comply with certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes; provided that the foregoing exclusion shall only apply if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes as a precondition to relief or exemption from or reduction in such Taxes, such Tax Indemnitee is eligible to comply with such requirement, the Facility Lessee shall have given such Tax Indemnitee timely written notice of such requirement and the Tax Indemnitee shall have determined in good faith that compliance with any such requirement shall not result in any identified non-immaterial adverse effect to its interests or to those of its Affiliates; Taxes consisting of interest, penalties, additions to tax or fines resulting from a failure of such Tax Indemnitee to properly and timely file returns as required by a taxing authority unless such failure is attributable to the Facility Lessee not providing information that it is expressly required to provide under the Operative Documents; Taxes imposed on any Tax Indemnitee resulting from an amendment, modification, supplement to or waiver of any provision of, any Operative Document which amendment, modification, supplement or waiver was not requested by or consented to by the Facility Lessee, and as to which the Facility Lessee is not a party and the Tax Indemnitee (or, in the case of the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor if acting at the express direction of the Owner Participant or any Related Party) is a party, provided that this exclusion shall not apply if such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver (A) was required by applicable law or the Operative Documents, (B) may be necessary or appropriate to, and is in conformity with, any amendment to any Operative Document requested by the Facility Lessee in writing, or (C) was expressly consented to by a Calpine Party in writing; Taxes imposed as a result of, or in connection with, any "prohibited transaction," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, Section 406 of ERISA or any comparable laws of any Governmental Entity, engaged in by any Tax Indemnitee (which for this purpose shall include any ERISA Affiliate thereof) resulting from the breach by such Tax Indemnitee of 56 any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 3.4(g) or Section 8.2 of the Participation Agreement; Taxes to the extent such Taxes would not have been imposed on a Tax Indemnitee if such Tax Indemnitee were a United States Person; and Taxes imposed that would not have been imposed on a Tax Indemnitee but for the activities in the taxing jurisdiction of such Tax Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof unrelated to the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents other than Taxes that are or are in the nature of sales, use, rental or license taxes, value added taxes (except to the extent value added taxes are imposed in clear and direct substitution for income taxes) or property taxes. Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and without regard to paragraph (b) hereof, any payment by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be increased by amounts necessary to ensure that all such payments are made on an After-Tax Basis. Each payment required to be made by the Facility Lessee to a Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be paid either (i) when due directly to the applicable taxing authority by the Facility Lessee if it is permitted to do so, or (ii) where direct payment is not permitted, and with respect to gross up amounts, in immediately available funds to such Tax Indemnitee by the later of (A) 10 days following the Facility Lessee's receipt of the Tax Indemnitee's written demand for the payment pursuant to clause (g)(i) below (which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Tax Indemnitee describing in reasonable detail the Taxes for which the Tax Indemnitee is demanding payment and the computation of such Taxes), (B) subject to paragraph (g) below, in the case of amounts which are being contested pursuant to such paragraph (g), at the time and in accordance with a final determination of such contest or (C) in the case of any indemnity demand for which the Facility Lessee has requested review and determination pursuant to paragraph (d) below, the completion of such review and determination; provided, however, in no event later than the date which is one Business Day prior to the date on which such Taxes are required to be paid to the applicable taxing authority. Any amount payable to the Facility Lessee pursuant to paragraph (e) or (f) below shall be paid promptly after the Tax Indemnitee realizes a Tax Benefit giving rise to a payment under paragraph (e) or receives a refund or credit giving rise to a payment under paragraph (f), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by a statement of the Tax Indemnitee computing in reasonable detail the amount of such payment. Upon the final determination of any contest pursuant to paragraph (g) below in respect of any Taxes for which the Facility Lessee has made a Tax Advance, the amount of the Facility Lessee's obligation under paragraph (a) above shall be determined as if such Tax Advance had not been made. Any obligation of the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.2 and the Tax Indemnitee's obligation to repay the Tax Advance will be satisfied first by set off against each other, and any difference owing by either party will be paid within 10 days of such final determination. Independent Examination. Within 10 days after the Facility Lessee receives any computation from the Tax Indemnitee, the Facility Lessee may request in writing that an independent public accounting firm selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee review and determine on a confidential basis the amount of any indemnity payment by the Facility Lessee to the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 or any 57 payment by a Tax Indemnitee to the Facility Lessee pursuant to paragraph (e) or (f) below. The Tax Indemnitee shall cooperate with such accounting firm and supply it with all information reasonably necessary for the accounting firm to conduct such review and determination (but not tax returns and books); provided that such accounting firm shall agree in writing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee to maintain the confidentiality of such information. The parties hereto agree that the independent public accounting firm's sole responsibility shall be to verify the computation of any payment pursuant to this Section 9.2 and that matters of interpretation of this Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document are not within the scope of the independent accountant's responsibility. The fees and disbursements of such accounting firm will be paid by the Facility Lessee; provided that such fees and disbursements will be paid by the Tax Indemnitee if the verification results in an adjustment in the Facility Lessee's favor of 5 percent or more of the indemnity payment or payments computed by the Tax Indemnitee. Tax Benefit. If, as the result of any Taxes paid or indemnified against by the Facility Lessee under this Section 9.2, the aggregate Taxes actually paid by the Tax Indemnitee for any taxable year and not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2 are less (whether by reason of a deduction, credit, allocation or apportionment of income or otherwise) than the amount of such Taxes that otherwise would have been payable by such Tax Indemnitee (a "Tax Benefit"), then to the extent such Tax Benefit was not taken into account in determining the amount of indemnification payable by the Facility Lessee under paragraph (a) or (c) above and provided no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which event the payment provided under this Section 9.2(e) shall be deferred until the Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has been cured), such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the Facility Lessee the lesser of (A) (y) the amount of such Tax Benefit, plus (z) an amount equal to any United States federal, state or local income tax benefit resulting to the Tax Indemnitee from the payment under clause (y) above and this clause (z) (determined using the same assumptions as set forth in the second sentence under the definition of After-Tax Basis) and (B) the amount of the indemnity paid pursuant to this Section 9.2 giving rise to such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that any excess of (A) over (B) shall be carried forward and reduce the Facility Lessee's obligations to make subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2. If it is subsequently determined that the Tax Indemnitee was not entitled to such Tax Benefit, the portion of such Tax Benefit that is required to be repaid or recaptured will be treated as Taxes for which the Facility Lessee must indemnify the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 without regard to paragraph (b) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Certificateholder Indemnitee shall determine the allocation of any tax benefits, savings, credit, deduction or allocation in its sole good faith discretion and each position to be taken on its tax return shall be in its sole control and it shall not be required to disclose any tax return or related documentation to any Person. Refund. If a Tax Indemnitee obtains a refund or credit of all or part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Tax Indemnitee promptly shall pay to the Facility Lessee (x) the amount of such refund or credit (net of any Tax payable by the Tax Indemnitee as a result of the receipt or accrual of such 58 refund or credit) plus (y) an amount equal to any United States federal, state or local income tax benefit realized by such Tax Indemnitee by reason of such payment to the Facility Lessee (determined using the same assumptions as set forth in the second sentence under the definition of After-Tax Basis); provided that (A) if at the time such payment is due to the Facility Lessee a Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall not be payable until such Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has been cured, and (B) the amount payable to the Facility Lessee pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the amount of the indemnity payment in respect of such refunded or credited Taxes that was made by the Facility Lessee. Any excess of (x) and (y) over (B) in this Section 9.2(f) shall be carried forward and reduce the Facility Lessee's obligations to make subsequent payments to such Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2. If it is subsequently determined that the Tax Indemnitee was not entitled to such refund or credit, the portion of such refund or credit that is required to be repaid or recaptured will be treated as Taxes for which the Facility Lessee must indemnify the Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.2 without regard to paragraph (b) hereof. If, in connection with a refund or credit of all or part of any Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2, a Tax Indemnitee receives an amount representing interest on such refund or credit, the Tax Indemnitee promptly shall pay to the Facility Lessee (1) the amount of such interest that shall be fairly attributable to such Taxes paid, reimbursed or advanced by the Facility Lessee prior to the receipt of such refund or credit (net of Taxes payable in respect of the receipt or accrual of such interest) and (2) any Tax savings resulting from payments made by the Tax Indemnitee under (1) and (2). Contest. Notice of Contest. If a written claim for payment is made by any taxing authority against a Tax Indemnitee for any Taxes with respect to which the Facility Lessee may be liable for indemnity hereunder (a "Tax Claim"), such Tax Indemnitee shall give the Facility Lessee written notice of such Tax Claim promptly after its receipt, and shall furnish the Facility Lessee with copies of such Tax Claim and all other writings received from the taxing authority to the extent relating to such claim; provided that failure to so notify the Facility Lessee shall not relieve the Facility Lessee of any obligation to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee hereunder except to the extent that such failure effectively precludes the ability to conduct a contest hereunder (and without limiting any damage claim or remedy the Facility Lessee may otherwise have for such failure). Control of Contest. Subject to subsection (g)(iii) below, the Facility Lessee will be entitled to contest (acting through counsel selected by the Facility Lessee and reasonably satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee), and control the contest of, any Tax Claim if (A) such Tax Claim may be pursued in the name of the Facility Lessee and may be segregated procedurally from tax claims for which the Facility Lessee is not obligated to indemnify the Tax Indemnitee or (B) the Tax Indemnitee requests that the Facility Lessee control such contest. In the case of all other Tax Claims, the Tax Indemnitee will contest the Tax Claim if the Facility Lessee shall request that the Tax be contested (subject to subsection (g)(iii) below), and the following rules shall apply with respect to such contest: 59 (1) the Tax Indemnitee will control the contest of such Tax Claim (acting through counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Lessee) at the Facility Lessee's expense, (2) the decisions regarding what actions to be taken shall be made by the Tax Indemnitee in its sole judgment, and (3) the Tax Indemnitee shall not otherwise settle, compromise or abandon such contest without the Facility Lessee's prior written consent except as provided in paragraph (g)(iv) below. In either case, the party conducting such contest shall consult in good faith with the other party and its designated counsel with respect to such Tax Claim and shall provide the other party with copies of any reports or claims (or extracts therefrom) issued by the relevant auditing agents or taxing authority relating to such Tax Claim. Conditions of Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no contest with respect to a Tax Claim will be required or permitted pursuant to this Section 9.2, and the Facility Lessee shall be required to pay the applicable Taxes without contest, unless: (1) within 30 days after written notice by the Tax Indemnitee to the Facility Lessee of such Tax Claim (or such shorter period, to be specified by the Tax Indemnitee in such notice, as required for taking action with respect to such Tax Claim), the Facility Lessee shall request in writing to the Tax Indemnitee that such Tax Claim be contested, (2) no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Facility Lessee has provided security for the indemnity payment and the expenses of contest in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Tax Indemnitee and the Indenture Trustee, both as to coverage and credit, (3) there is no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of, or the creation of any Lien on any Facility, the Facility Site, the Undivided Interest, the Ground Interest, or any portion or Component thereof or any interest therein as a result of such Tax Claim; provided that this clause (3) shall not apply if the Facility Lessee posts security satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitee, both as to coverage and credit, in its sole discretion, (4) there is no risk of imposition of any criminal penalties or liabilities, (5) if such contest involves payment of such Tax, the Facility Lessee will advance such amount necessary to pay the Tax to the Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates on an interest-free basis and with no after-tax cost to such Tax Indemnitee (a "Tax Advance"), (6) the Facility Lessee agrees to pay (and pays on demand) and with no after-tax cost to such Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates all reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred by the Tax Indemnitee in connection with the contest of such claim (including, without limitation, all reasonable legal, accounting and investigatory fees and disbursements and penalties, interest and additions to tax), 60 (7) the Tax Indemnitee, if it so requests has been provided at the Facility Lessee's sole expense with an opinion, reasonably acceptable to such Tax Indemnitee, of independent tax counsel selected by the Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee to the effect that there is a Reasonable Basis for contesting such Tax Claim, (8) in the case of a judicial appeal, the appeal is not to the U.S. Supreme Court, (9) if such contest is controlled by the Facility Lessee, prior to commencement of a judicial action with respect to the contest, the Facility Lessee shall have admitted in writing its liability to pay an indemnity pursuant to this Section 9.2 with respect to such Tax, which admission shall be binding on the Facility Lessee unless and to the extent such contest is determined in a manner that conclusively demonstrates that the Facility Lessee is not so liable, and (10) if the subject matter of such claim shall be of a continuing or recurring nature and shall have previously been decided pursuant to this paragraph (g), there shall have been a change in law after such previously decided claim and such Tax Indemnitee receives, at the Facility Lessee's sole cost, an opinion of counsel selected by such Tax Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee to the effect that such change is favorable to the position asserted in the previous contest. Waiver of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, the Tax Indemnitee at any time may elect to decline to take any action or any further action with respect to (and the Facility Lessee shall not be permitted to contest) a Tax Claim and may in its sole discretion settle or compromise any contest with respect to such Tax Claim without the Facility Lessee's consent if the Tax Indemnitee: (1) waives its right to any indemnity payment by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 9.2 in respect of such Tax Claim (and any other claim for Taxes with respect to any other taxable year the contest of which is effectively precluded by the Tax Indemnitee's declination to take action with respect to the Tax Claim), and (2) promptly repays to the Facility Lessee any Tax Advance and any amount paid to such Tax Indemnitee under Section 9.2(a) above in respect of such Taxes, but not any costs or expenses with respect to any such contest. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any such waiver shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Tax Indemnitee with respect to any other Tax Claim. Reports. If any report, statement or return is required to be filed by a Tax Indemnitee with respect to any Tax that is subject to indemnification under this Section 9.2, the Facility Lessee will (1) notify the Tax Indemnitee in writing of such requirement not later than 30 days prior to the date such report, statement or return is required to be filed (determined without regard to extensions) and (2) either (y) unless directed by the Tax Indemnitee otherwise, if permitted by applicable law, prepare such report, statement or return for filing by the Facility Lessee in 61 such manner as will show the ownership of the Facility by the Owner Lessor for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes (if applicable), send a copy of such report, statement or return to the Tax Indemnitee and timely file such report, statement or return with the appropriate taxing authority, or (z) in all other cases, prepare and furnish to such Tax Indemnitee not later than 30 days prior to the date such report, statement or return is required to be filed (determined without regard to extensions) a proposed form of such report, statement or return for filing by the Tax Indemnitee; provided that the only consequence for failure to file after compliance by the Facility Lessee with the requirements hereof shall be a loss of indemnification from the Facility Lessee in respect of any Tax to the extent resulting from such failure. Each of the Tax Indemnitee and the Facility Lessee, as the case may be, will timely provide the other, at the Facility Lessee's expense, with all information (other than books or income tax returns that such party reasonably deems confidential) in its possession that the other party may reasonably require and request to satisfy its tax filing obligations. Non-Parties. If a Tax Indemnitee is not a party to this Agreement, the Facility Lessee may require such Tax Indemnitee to agree in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lessee, to the terms of this Section 9.2 prior to making any payment to such Tax Indemnitee under this Section. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Facility Lessee's obligations under this Section 9.2 shall inure to the benefit of each and every Tax Indemnitee without regard to whether such Tax Indemnitee is a party to this Agreement. FACILITY LESSEE'S RIGHT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT Each party to this Agreement acknowledges notice of, and consents in all respects to, the terms of the Facility Lease and the Facility Site Lease and expressly, severally and as to its own actions only, agrees that, so long as no Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall not take or cause to be taken any action or direct that any action be taken, which is contrary to or inconsistent with the rights under the Facility Lease and Facility Site Sublease, including the right to possession, use and quiet enjoyment of the Undivided Interest and the Ground Interest. SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCING IMPROVEMENTS; OPTIONAL REFINANCINGS Financing Improvements. Upon the request of the Facility Lessee delivered at least 90 days prior to financing a portion of the cost of any Required or Non-Severable Improvement, the Owner Lessor and the Indenture Trustee agree to cooperate with the Facility Lessee to (a) issue Additional Lessor Notes under the Collateral Trust Indenture to finance such Improvement which will rank pari passu with the Initial Lessor Notes and/or any Additional Lessor Notes then outstanding; (b) execute and deliver one or more supplements to the Collateral Trust Indenture for purpose of subjecting the Owner Lessor's interest in any such Improvements to the Liens thereof, and (c) execute and deliver an amendment to the Facility Lease to reflect the adjustments required by clause (iv) below; provided, however, that (x) the Owner Participant shall have been given the opportunity, but shall have no obligation, to provide all or part of the funds required to finance any such Improvement by making an Additional Equity Investment in such amount, if any, as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but the Facility Lessee shall have no 62 obligation to accept such Additional Equity Investment; and (y) the conditions set forth below and in Section 2.12 of the Collateral Trust Indenture shall have been satisfied. The obligation to finance such Improvements through the issuance of Additional Lessor Notes under Section 2.12 of the Collateral Trust Indenture (any financing of Improvements through the issuance of such Additional Lessor Notes under the Collateral Trust Indenture being called a "Supplemental Financing") is subject to the following additional conditions: except with respect to Required Improvements, there shall be no more than one such financing in any calendar year; the Additional Lessor Notes (A) shall have a final maturity no later than the final maturity of the Lessor Notes issued on the Closing Date and (B) will be fully repaid out of additional Basic Rent, as adjusted pursuant to the Facility Lease, during the Facility Lease Term; the Additional Lessor Notes shall have an average life to maturity equal to the average life to maturity of the Lessor Notes issued on the Closing Date; appropriate increases to Basic Rent and Termination Value (determined without regard to any tax benefits associated with such Improvements, unless the Owner Participant is making an Additional Equity Investment) shall be made to protect the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return; provided that there shall be no changes to the amortization schedule or interest amounts and payment dates on the then outstanding Lessor Notes; the Facility Lessee shall have paid, on an After-Tax Basis, all reasonable costs and expenses of the Transaction Parties, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Owner Participant, the Owner Lessor, the Indenture Trustee, the Lease Indenture Company, the Pass Through Company and the Pass Through Trustees, in each case to the extent incurred in connection with any financing or refinancing pursuant to this Section 11 whether or not the financing is consummated; no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing unless the Improvements to be constructed with the proceeds of the Additional Lessor Notes shall cure such Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default and such Improvements shall be made in compliance with the Operative Documents; such Additional Lessor Notes represent an aggregate amount not less than $20 million, nor greater than 100% of the costs of the Improvements being financed; provided that the aggregate balance of the Lessor Notes for the Undivided Interest never exceeds 80% of the fair market value (which fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected by the Facility Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Owner Participant) of the Undivided Interest taking into account the fair market value of such Improvements; the Owner Participant shall have received a favorable opinion of its tax counsel satisfactory to such Owner Participant to the effect that such financing creates no incremental tax risk not indemnified to the Owner Participant's satisfaction (including additional indebtedness incurred to finance the Improvements not constituting "qualified nonrecourse indebtedness" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1-861-10T(b)); 63 the Owner Participant shall suffer no adverse accounting effects under GAAP as a result of such financing; the Facility Lessee shall have made or delivered such representations, warranties, covenants, opinions or certificates as the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request; the Facility Lessee or the Guarantor shall have, at such time, a credit rating of at least Investment Grade from S&P and Moody's; the Facility Lessee shall pay to (a) the Owner Participant a fee of $100,000 and (b) the Pass Through Trustees for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to be shared by such Certificateholders on a pro rata basis, a fee of $100,000 for each such financing, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) above, other than the first financing; and Calpine shall have affirmed to the Transaction Parties that the Calpine Guaranties cover the additional indebtedness contemplated by this Section 11.1. Notwithstanding the prior provision dealing with the financing of Improvements through the Facility Lease, the Facility Lessee shall at all times have the right to fund Improvements to the Facility other than through the Facility Lease; provided that Required Improvements and non-Severable Improvements may only be financed other than through the Facility Lease on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing of this Section 11.1, except for Required Improvements and Improvements relating to pollution control, no Improvement shall materially decrease the value, residual value, utility or remaining economic useful life of the Facility immediately prior to such Improvement or cause the Facility to become limited-use property. Optional Refinancing of Lease Debt. The Facility Lessee shall have the right, exercisable at any time on no more than three occasions, to request the Owner Lessor (and the Owner Lessor shall reasonably consider and not unreasonably withhold its consent), to refund or refinance the Lease Debt, in whole but not in part, through the issuance of Additional Lessor Notes; provided that all conditions to the issuance of such Additional Lessor Notes contained in Section 2.12 of the Collateral Trust Indenture shall have been satisfied and all applicable Make-Whole Amounts shall have been paid. Any refinancing under this Section 11.2 shall also be subject to satisfaction of the following additional conditions: the Owner Lessor shall be able to issue and sell such debt in an amount adequate to accomplish such refunding or refinancing; with respect to the refinancing of the Initial Lessor Notes of a particular maturity, such Additional Lessor Notes shall have a final maturity no later than the final maturity date of such Initial Lessor Notes and will be fully repaid out of Basic Rent during the Facility Lease Term; appropriate adjustments to Basic Rent and Termination Value shall be made to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return; provided that no adjustments shall be made to the amortization schedule; 64 no Significant Lease Default or Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; the Owner Participant shall suffer no adverse accounting effects under GAAP; the Facility Lessee shall have made or delivered such representations, warranties, covenants, opinions and certificates as the Owner Participant may reasonably request, which representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be of no greater scope than those provided by the Facility Lessee on the Closing Date under the Operative Documents to which it is a party (except to the extent necessitated by differences between existing Operative Documents and the terms and conditions of the proposed refinancing); all documentation in connection with such refinancing shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Lessor and the Owner Participant; the Owner Participant shall receive a consent fee of $100,000 in the aggregate for each refinancing after the first such refinancing; the Lease Debt as financed constitutes qualified nonrecourse indebtedness within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1-861-10T(b) and the Owner Participant shall have received an opinion satisfactory to it to such effect; and the Owner Participant shall receive an opinion satisfactory to it that the refinancing (as opposed to the right to request such refinancing) shall not result in any incremental tax risk not indemnified to the Owner Participant's satisfaction. Calpine shall have affirmed in writing to the Transaction Parties that the Calpine Guaranty covers the additional indebtedness contemplated by this Section 11.2. Cooperation. The Owner Participant will cooperate with and assist the Facility Lessee in connection with any refinancing and/or assumption of the Lease Debt, so long as such refinancing and/or assumption of the Lease Debt is in accordance with the terms of the Operative Documents.

CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS TO PERIODIC RENT, TERMINATION VALUE AND OTHER AMOUNTS Prior to or on the Closing Date, Periodic Rent, Termination Value, Allocated Rent, Proportional Rent, Lessor 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessee 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessor 467 Loan Interest and Lessee 467 Loan Interest shall be adjusted, either upward or downward, in accordance with the Facility Lease: at the request of the Facility Lessee, and at the Facility Lessee's option, to re-optimize the Lease Debt; provided such re-optimization shall not result in a change to average life by more than six (6) months; 65 at the request of the Facility Lessee or the Owner Participant, to reflect any changes in the Pricing Assumptions, including without limitation, (x) the initial interest rate on any of the Lessor Notes which is different from the applicable interest rate set forth in the Pricing Assumptions, (y) an increase in the Transaction Costs from the amount assumed in the Pricing Assumptions, unless the Facility Lessee has elected to pay such increase, and (z) a Closing Date other than the Scheduled Closing Date; and at the request of the Facility Lessee or the Owner Participant to reflect any enactment, promulgation, release or adoption of, amendment to or change in the Code, Treasury Regulations, Revenue Rulings or Revenue Procedures ("Tax Law Change") enacted prior to the Closing; provided that if any adjustment required by this paragraph (a) would result in (i) the Facility Lease not qualifying as an operating lease for the Facility Lessee under FASB 13 or FASB 98, or (ii) the aggregate of all rent adjustments made on or before, or contemplated to be made on, the Closing Date (other than adjustments to reflect a change in Transaction Costs or the actual interest rate of the Certificates) shall cause either (x) the after-tax net present value of Basic Rent discounted at 6% to increase by more than 100 basis points or (y) the total Basic Rent to increase by more than 2%, then in either such case, the Facility Lessee shall not be obligated to close the Overall Transaction. Any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Facility Lease shall comply with Applicable Law (including any final or proposed Treasury Regulations issued under Section 467 of the Code) as well as the requirements of Revenue Procedure 2001-28 and Sections 4.02(5), 4.07(1) and 4.07(2) of Revenue Procedure 2001-29 in a manner such that amending the Facility Lease complies with the "safe harbors" under such Treasury Regulations or otherwise does not cause the Facility Lease to be a "disqualified leaseback or long-term agreement" within the meaning of Section 467 of the Code and any Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, in each case, to the extent of such compliance on the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, Periodic Rent, Termination Value, Allocated Rent, Proportional Rent, Lessor 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessee 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessor 467 Loan Interest and Lessee 467 Loan Interest shall be adjusted at the request of the Facility Lessee or the Owner Participant in accordance with the terms of the Facility Lease to which it is a party. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12 shall be calculated (A) to preserve the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return through the Basic Lease Term and (B) to the extent consistent with (A) above, to maintain operating lease treatment for the Facility Lessee; provided, however, that to the extent consistent with preserving the Owner Participant's Net Economic Return, all adjustments shall at the option of the Facility Lessee be calculated to (x) minimize the average annual Basic Rent over the Basic Lease Term and the Lessor Put Renewal Lease Term for the Facility Lessee's GAAP accounting purposes and/or (y) minimize the present value to the Facility Lessee of Basic Rent; and provided, further, that no such adjustment shall require the Owner Participant to record a loss as of the date such adjustment is made. Adjustments will be computed by the Owner Participant based upon the Pricing Assumptions and the Tax Assumptions originally used to calculate the Periodic Rent, Termination Value, Allocated Rent, Proportional Rent, Lessor 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessee 467 Loan Principal Balance, Lessor 467 Loan Interest and Lessee 467 Loan Interest. 66 Adjustments made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be subject to verification as provided in Section 3.4 of the Facility Lease.

Special Facility Lessee Transfers. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Lessee Transfer Event, the Facility Lessee (or its designee as provided below) may (a) terminate the Facility Lease in accordance with its terms, or (b) upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the Owner Participant, the Indenture Trustee and the Pass Through Trustees, purchase subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1, all of the Member Interest (any purchase under clause (b) being referred to a the "Special Lessee Transfer") on the applicable Termination Date at a price equal to the Special Lessee Transfer Amount determined as of the date of such transfer and keep the Facility Lease in effect.
