Item 5. Other Events. On October 18, 1999, Caithness Acquisition Company, LLC ("Caithness Acquisition") purchased from ESI Geothermal, Inc. ("ESI") all of the indirect ownership interests held by ESI (the "Navy I Interest") in Coso Finance Partners (the "Navy I partnership"), pursuant to a Sale Agreement dated as of October 6, 1999 (the "Sale Agreement"), between Caithness Acquisition and ESI. Caithness Acquisition, which is wholly owned by Caithness Energy, L.L.C. ("Caithness Energy"), is an affiliate of the Navy I partnership and its related operating partnerships, Coso Energy Developers and Coso Power Developers (collectively, the "Coso partnerships"). Caithness Acquisition is also an affiliate of the Registrant. ESI is not related to Caithness Energy and is an affiliate of FPL Energy, Inc., the independent power subsidiary of FPL Group, Inc. The purchase price paid by Caithness Acquisition for the Navy I Interest was $5.0 million, payable in cash. The source of the funds used by Caithness Acquisition to pay the purchase price was Caithness Energy. Prior to the purchase by Caithness Acquisition of the Navy I Interest, affiliates of Caithness Energy and ESI shared ownership and control of the Navy I partnership. The Navy I Interest consisted of a 9.33% percent limited liability company interest held by ESI in ESCA LLC ("ESCA"), which in turn owns a 53.6% percent general partnership interest in the Navy I partnership. Prior to Caithness Acquisition's purchase of the Navy I Interest, affiliates of Caithness Energy and ESI owned and controlled ESCA. New CLOC Company, LLC ("CLOC"), the other general partner of the Navy I partnership, is owned and controlled by Caithness Acquisition. While affiliates of Caithness Energy own and control CLOC, they shared ownership and control of ESCA with ESI. As a result of the purchase by Caithness Acquisition of the Navy I Interest, ESI no longer has any ownership or other interest in the Navy I partnership or any other Coso partnership, and Caithness Energy and its affiliates now own and control the Navy I partnership and the other Coso partnerships. In connection with the purchase by Caithness Acquisition of the Navy I Interest pursuant to three Assignment, Assumption and Novation Agreements, FPL Energy Operating Services, Inc. ("FPL Operating"), an affiliate of ESI and one of the two operators of the geothermal power plants and related fields owned by the Coso partnerships, assigned to Coso Operating Company LLC ("COC"), the other operator, all of its rights under the Operation and Maintenance Agreement it has with each respective Coso partnership, and COC assumed all of FPL Operating's obligations under those three Operation and Maintenance Agreements. COC, an affiliate of the Coso partnerships, is now the sole operator of all of the geothermal power plants and related fields and employs substantially all of FPL Operating's former employees at the sites of the Coso projects. In addition, in connection with the purchase by Caithness Acquisition of the Navy I Interest, COC advanced to FPL Operating all of the fees and reimbursable expenses that had accrued to FPL Operating under the Operation and Maintenance Agreements and had not been paid, which amounted in the aggregate to approximately $664,000. COC, as the successor operator, will be entitled to receive fees and reimbursable expenses under the three Operation and Maintenance Agreements in the future, although payment of such fees and reimbursable expenses is subordinated to all payments under the outstanding senior secured notes. In addition, the Coso partnerships, ESI, FPL Operating, COC and their respective affiliates entered into various general releases. In addition, Kenneth P. Hoffman, who was appointed by ESI to the management committee of the Navy I partnership, resigned from that management committee, effective as of October 18, 1999, in connection with the purchase by Caithness Acquisition of the Navy I Interest and is expected to be replaced by an appointee of Caithness Acquisition. A copy of the Sale Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein, and the three Assignment, Assumption and Novation Agreements are filed Exhibits 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

COOPERATION: ----------- Assignor and Assignee shall cooperate in transferring all operating activities under the Plant O&M Agreement including, executing the assignments, amendments, replacements and/or terminations of applicable project operating permits listed on Schedule I attached hereto where Assignor is named as an applicant or a responsible party, and such further documents reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each of them, and taking such further action as may be reasonably necessary for Assignee to secure permits for the Navy I Project in its name and for relieving Assignor of any liability and requirements under its existing permits. Assignee shall, or shall cause CFP to, pay for all fees and expenses imposed by applicable governmental authorities. 5. LIABILITY AND RELEASE: --------------------- Effective upon the date first written above (the "Effective Date"), Assignor shall have no liability to CFP or Assignee and except for Section 9.2.1 of the Plant O&M Agreement, CFP and Assignee shall have no further liability to Assignor with respect to the Plant O&M Agreement (or any prior performance, past or future non performance, act or omission under or 2 with respect to the Plant O&M Agreement) except as expressly set forth herein; and concurrent with the execution of this Agreement Assignor, CFP and Assignee will each cause to be executed and delivered a Release Agreement in the form of Exhibit A-1 and A-2, attached hereto, respectively. 6. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLANT O&M AGREEMENT: -------------------------------------------- On the Effective Date, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the amount set forth on Schedule II attached hereto. This amount shall include 100% of all accrued and unpaid Annual Operating Fee, Reimbursable Costs and estimated future Reimbursable Costs (as these terms are defined in the Plant O&M Agreement). Assignor represents and warrants that (a) Schedule III hereto contains a good faith estimate of all Reimbursable Costs for the period from October 1, 1999 through the Effective Date and (b) to the knowledge of Assignor, except for non- material variances to the estimate described in (a) or liabilities relating to the items listed on Schedule IV hereto, Assignor has not accrued, incurred or become liable for any Reimbursable Cost or incurred any liabilities for which Assignee or CFP may be responsible or liable.

Additionally, in the event that such estimated future Reimbursable Costs are greater than the actual Reimbursable Costs which are incurred by Assignor, and Assignor has been reimbursed by Assignee for such excess, then on or before the 30/th/ day after the Effective Date, Assignor shall pay to Assignee such excess. 7. TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES: --------------------- Assignor agrees that Assignee shall have the right to offer employment to any employee of Assignor who is employed by Assignor at the Navy I Project at the Effective Date (a "Project Employee") on the terms determined by Assignee; and Assignee agrees at the Effective Date to offer the Project Employees employment on terms determined by Assignee and that no benefits of the Project Employees shall carry over except for accrued vacation and seniority of employment. Assignee agrees to give Assignor prompt written notice of all such offers of employment that are made to the Project Employees and any that are rejected.

Assignor shall have discretion in determining the Severance Benefits to be provided to the Project Employees provided that such Severance Benefits are reasonably consistent with past practices of Assignor and its affiliates. Additionally, if a Project Employee is employed by Assignee but is terminated by Assignee without cause within six (6) months following the date of employment of such Project Employee by Assignee, such Project Employee will be treated as a Project Employee who was not offered employment by Assignee. Each request for reimbursement by Assignor in respect to a Project Employee must only state (i) the identity of the Project Employee(s) who have received or will receive such Severance Benefits, and (ii) in reasonable detail, the amount of the Severance Benefits made or to be made to such Project Employee(s) and, if applicable, include a copy of any agreement entered into by such Project Employee(s) and Assignor with respect to termination of employment. The reimbursement payment shall be made by CFP or Assignee within thirty (30) days following receipt by Assignee of such written request.

DELIVERY OF OPERATING DATA AND RECORDS: -------------------------------------- On the Effective Date, Assignor agrees to deliver at the Navy I Project the operating data and records, maintained pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Plant O&M Agreement, to Assignee or to any individual or entity designated by Assignee. 9.

Assignor shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of any matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section (provided that a failure to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification under this Section except to the extent that Assignee or CFP has been damaged 4 by such failure) and shall reasonably cooperate with Assignee and CFP with respect to the resolution of any such matter. 10. BINDING EFFECT: -------------- This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns. 11. GOVERNING LAW: ------------- This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within the State and without reference to the choice of law principles of the State of California or any other state.

Assignor shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of any matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section (provided that a failure to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification under this Section except to the extent that Assignee or CED has been damaged by such failure) and shall reasonably cooperate with Assignee and CED with respect to the resolution of any such matter. 4 10. BINDING EFFECT: -------------- This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns. 11.

The forms of all such documents shall be prepared by Assignee or its affiliates at its expense and shall be subject to approval by the Trustee and Collateral Agent under the Financing Documents. 4. COOPERATION: ----------- Assignor and Assignee shall cooperate in transferring all operating activities under the Plant O&M Agreement including, executing the assignments, amendments, replacements and/or terminations of applicable project operating permits listed on Schedule I attached hereto where Assignor is named as an applicant or a responsible party, and such further documents reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each of them, and taking such further action as may be reasonably necessary for Assignee to secure permits for the Navy II Project in its name and for relieving Assignor of any liability and requirements under its existing permits. Assignee shall, or shall cause CPD to, pay for all fees and expenses imposed by applicable governmental authorities. 5. LIABILITY AND RELEASE: --------------------- Effective upon the date first written above (the "Effective Date"), Assignor shall have no liability to CPD or Assignee and except for Section 9.2.1 of the Plant O&M Agreement, CPD and Assignee shall have no further liability to Assignor with respect to the Plant O&M Agreement (or any prior performance, past or future non performance, act or omission under or with respect to the Plant O&M Agreement) except as expressly set forth herein; and concurrent 2 with the execution of this Agreement Assignor, CPD and Assignee will each cause to be executed and delivered a Release Agreement in the form of Exhibit A-1 and A-2, attached hereto, respectively. 6. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THE PLANT O&M AGREEMENT: -------------------------------------------- On the Effective Date, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the amount set forth on Schedule II attached hereto. This amount shall include 100% of all accrued and unpaid Annual Operating Fee, Reimbursable Costs and estimated future Reimbursable Costs (as these terms are defined in the Plant O&M Agreement). Assignor represents and warrants that (a) Schedule III hereto contains a good faith estimate of all Reimbursable Costs for the period from October 1, 1999 through the Effective Date and (b) to the knowledge of Assignor, except for non- material variances to the estimate described in (a) or liabilities relating to the items listed on Schedule IV hereto, Assignor has not accrued, incurred or become liable for any Reimbursable Cost or incurred any liabilities for which Assignee or CPD may be responsible or liable.

Additionally, in the event that such estimated future Reimbursable Costs are greater than the actual Reimbursable Costs which are incurred by Assignor, and Assignor has been reimbursed by Assignee for such excess, then on or before the 30/th/ day after the Effective Date, Assignor shall pay to Assignee such excess. 7. TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES: --------------------- Assignor agrees that Assignee shall have the right to offer employment to any employee of Assignor who is employed by Assignor at the Navy II Project at the Effective Date (a "Project Employee") on the terms determined by Assignee; and Assignee agrees at the Effective Date to offer the Project Employees employment on terms determined by Assignee and that no benefits of the Project Employees shall carry over except for accrued vacation and seniority of employment. Assignee agrees to give Assignor prompt written notice of all such offers of employment that are made to the Project Employees and any that are rejected. Assignee agrees to reimburse Assignor for severance payments and benefits (collectively, "Severance Benefits") agreed to be made by Assignor to any Project Employee who is not offered comparable employment (including, without limitation, comparable wages and benefits) at the Navy II 3 Project. Assignor shall have discretion in determining the Severance Benefits to be provided to the Project Employees provided that such Severance Benefits are reasonably consistent with past practices of Assignor and its affiliates. Additionally, if a Project Employee is employed by Assignee but is terminated by Assignee without cause within six (6) months following the date of employment of such Project Employee by Assignee, such Project Employee will be treated as a Project Employee who was not offered employment by Assignee. Each request for reimbursement by Assignor in respect to a Project Employee must only state (i) the identity of the Project Employee(s) who have received or will receive such Severance Benefits, and (ii) in reasonable detail, the amount of the Severance Benefits made or to be made to such Project Employee(s) and, if applicable, include a copy of any agreement entered into by such Project Employee(s) and Assignor with respect to termination of employment. The reimbursement payment shall be made by CPD or Assignee within thirty (30) days following receipt by Assignee of such written request. Assignee agrees that, with respect to any Project Employee in respect of which Assignee shall pay or reimburse Assignor for Severance Benefits as described above, Assignee shall also pay (or to the extent paid by Assignor or any affiliate of Assignor, reimburse Assignor and its affiliates for) any taxes, or other costs, related to such Severance Benefits and incurred by Assignor or its affiliates. 8. DELIVERY OF OPERATING DATA AND RECORDS: -------------------------------------- On the Effective Date, Assignor agrees to deliver at the Navy II Project the operating data and records, maintained pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Plant O&M Agreement, to Assignee or to any individual or entity designated by Assignee. 9. INDEMNITY: --------- Assignee and CPD agree to jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold harmless Assignor, any shareholder in Assignor and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (collectively, the "Assignor Indemnified Parties") from and against, on a net after-tax basis, and shall pay and reimburse the Assignor Indemnified Parties for, any loss, cost or other expense that any such Assignor Indemnified Party incurs or suffers arising out of any claim (a) made at any time after the Effective Date by any person or entity against Assignor which relates to or arises out of any of the project permits listed in Schedule I attached hereto or (b) which relates to or arises out of any representation or warranty of Assignee herein not being true and correct as and when made, or any agreement of Assignee in this Agreement or the Plant O&M Agreement not being performed. Assignor shall give prompt written notice to Assignee of any matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section (provided that a failure to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification under this Section except to the extent that Assignee or CPD has been damaged by such failure) and shall reasonably cooperate with Assignee and CPD with respect to the resolution of any such matter. 4 10. BINDING EFFECT: -------------- This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns. 11.
