ITEM 1.01 — ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On March 15, 2006, Calpine Construction Finance Company, L.P. (“CCFC”), CCFC Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and, together with CCFC, the “Company”), the Guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as Trustee, entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2003 (as supplemented to date, the “Indenture”), governing the Company’s $415,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Second Priority Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) and a Waiver Agreement whereby certain defaults under the Indenture were waived. Also on March 15, 2006, CCFC, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, entered into Amendment No. 4 under Credit and Guarantee Agreement amending the Credit and Guarantee Agreement (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”) governing CCFC’s $385,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of First Priority Senior Secured Institutional Term Loans due 2009 (the “Term Loans”) and a Waiver Agreement whereby certain defaults under the Credit Agreement were waived.

Each Waiver Agreement provides for the waiver of certain defaults under the Indenture or Credit Agreement, as applicable, that occurred following the bankruptcy filings on December 20, 2005 (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), by Calpine Corporation (“Calpine”), the Company’s ultimate parent, and certain of Calpine’s subsidiaries, including Calpine Energy Services, L.P. (“CES”). The defaults resulted from the failure of CES to make certain payments to the Company under the Index-Based Gas Sale and Power Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2003 (as amended to date, the “Index-Based PPA”) with CCFC.

Each of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and Amendment No. 4 to Credit and Guarantee Agreement provide that it would be an event of default under the Indenture and the Credit Agreement, respectively, if CES seeks to reject the Index-Based PPA in connection with the Bankruptcy Proceedings.

ITEM 3.03 — MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereof with respect to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture governing the Notes and the Waiver Agreement under such Indenture is incorporated by reference herein.
