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 may be 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, on\n           the part of the Borrower, relating in any way whatsoever to the\n           Project Contracts.\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 the amount in Dollars which may be so purchased, after\n           deducting any costs of exchange and any other related costs, is less\n           than the relevant sum payable under this Deed, the Borrower shall\n           indemnify the Junior Lender against the shortfall. This indemnity\n           shall be an obligation of the Borrower independent of an in addition\n           to its other obligations under this Deed and shall take effect\n           notwithstanding any time or other concession granted to the Borrower\n           or any judgment or order being obtained or the filing of any claim in\n           the liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy (or analogous process) of\n           the Borrower.\n\n11.03      Payment and Security. 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\n                                       7\n\n\n12.

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.
