The above provisions apply notwithstanding\n           that any such monies may have been deposited for a fixed period or be\n           subject to a period of notice and that the fixed period or period of\n           notice may not have expired or that notice or sufficient notice may\n           not have been given.\n\n7.03       No Change in Name. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Deed,\n           the Charged Accounts shall at all times be held in the name of the\n           Borrower and the Junior Lender shall not at any time before or after\n           enforcement or otherwise be entitled or otherwise able to change, or\n           procure any change which would result in, any of the Charged Accounts\n           being held otherwise than in the Borrower's name from time to time.\n\n\n8.         TAXES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS\n\n           All sums payable by the Borrower under this Deed shall be paid in\n           full without set-off or counterclaim or any restriction or condition\n           and free and clear of any tax (other than an Excluded Tax) or other\n           deductions or withholdings of any nature. If the Borrower or any\n           other person is required by any law or regulation to make any\n           deduction or withholding (on account of tax (other than an Excluded\n           Tax) or otherwise) from any payment for the account of the Junior\n           Lender, the Borrower shall, together with such payment, pay such\n           additional amount as will ensure that the Junior Lender receives\n           (free and clear of any tax (other than an Excluded Tax) or other\n           deductions or withholdings) the full amount which it would have\n           received if no such deduction or withholding had been required. The\n           Borrower shall promptly forward to the Junior Lender copies of\n           official receipts or other evidence showing that the full amount of\n           any such deduction or withholding has been paid over to the relevant\n           taxation or other authority.\n\n\n9.         COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES\n\n           The Borrower shall from time to time forthwith on demand pay to or\n           reimburse the Junior Lender for:\n\n           (a)      all reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including legal\n                    and other fees on a full indemnity basis and out of pocket\n                    expenses) reasonably incurred by the Junior Lender in\n                    connection with the preparation, execution and registration\n                    of any amendment to or extension of, or the giving of any\n                    consent or waiver in connection with this Deed; and\n\n           (b)      all reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including legal\n                    and other fees on a full indemnity basis and out of pocket\n                    expenses) reasonably incurred by the Junior Lender in\n                    exercising any of its\n\n                                       5\n\n\n                    rights or powers hereunder or in suing\n                    for or seeking to recover any sums due hereunder or\n                    otherwise preserving or enforcing its rights hereunder or in\n                    defending any claims brought against it in respect of this\n                    Deed or in releasing or re-assigning this Deed upon payment\n                    of all monies hereby secured and until payment of the same\n                    in full, all such costs, charges and expenses shall be\n                    secured by this Deed.\n\n           To the extent practicable, the Junior Lender shall consult the\n           Borrower before incurring any major expenditure.\n\n\n10.        SET-OFF\n\n           Notwithstanding Clause 7 and\/or any provision hereof, the Borrower\n           agrees that the Junior Lender shall (without prejudice to any general\n           or lender's lien, right of set-off or any other right to which it may\n           be entitled) have the right, without notice to the Borrower or any\n           other person, at any time to set off and apply any credit balance on\n           any Charged Account (whether subject to notice or not and whether\n           matured or not and in whatever currency) and any other indebtedness\n           owing by the Junior Lender to the Borrower, against the Junior\n           Secured Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of clause\n           16.03 of the AES Loan Agreement and the Junior Lender is authorized\n           to purchase with the monies standing to the credit of any such\n           accounts such other currencies as may be necessary for this purpose.\n\n\n11.        INDEMNITY\n\n11.01      General Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Junior Lender\n           against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses incurred\n           by it in the execution or performance of the terms and conditions\n           hereof and against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, costs,\n           charges and expenses which maybe incurred, sustained or arise in\n           respect of the non-performance or non-observance of any of the\n           undertakings and agreements on the part of the Borrower herein\n           contained or in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted\n           relating in any way whatsoever to the Charged Accounts.\n\n11.02      Currency Indemnity. Dollars shall be the currency of account and of\n           payment in respect of sums payable under this Deed. If an amount is\n           received in another currency, pursuant to a judgment or order or in\n           the liquidation of the Borrower or otherwise, the Borrower's\n           obligations under this Deed shall be discharged only to the extent\n           that the Junior Lender may purchase Dollars with such other currency\n           in accordance with normal banking procedures upon receipt of such\n           amount.

The Junior Lender may retain and pay out of any\n           money in the Junior Lender's hands all sums necessary to effect the\n           indemnity contained in this Clause 11 and all sums payable by the\n           Borrower under this Clause 11 shall form part of the monies hereby\n           secured.\n\n\n12.        FURTHER ASSURANCE\n\n12.01      Further Assurance.

POWER OF ATTORNEY\n\n           The Borrower irrevocably appoints the Junior Lender by way of\n           security to be its attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution)\n           and in its name or otherwise on its behalf and as its act and deed to\n           sign, seal, execute, deliver, perfect and do all deeds, instruments,\n           acts and things which may be required or which the Junior Lender\n           shall think proper or expedient for carrying out any obligations\n           imposed on the Borrower hereunder or for exercising any of the powers\n           hereby conferred or for giving to the Junior Lender the full benefit\n           of this security and so that the appointment hereby made shall\n           operate to confer on the Junior Lender authority to do on behalf of\n           the Borrower anything which it can lawfully do by an\n           attorney-in-fact.

WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY\n\n           No failure or delay by the Junior Lender in exercising any right,\n           power or remedy hereunder shall impair such right, power or remedy or\n           operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise\n           of the same preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of\n           any other right, power or remedy.
