STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The AES Corporation is a holding company with no material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries. All of The AES Corporation&#146;s revenue is generated through its subsidiaries. Accordingly,
almost all of The AES Corporation&#146;s cash flow is generated by the operating activities of its subsidiaries. Therefore, The AES Corporation&#146;s ability to make payments on its indebtedness and to fund its other obligations is dependent not
only on the ability of its subsidiaries to generate cash, but also on the ability of the subsidiaries to distribute cash to it in the form of dividends, fees, interest, tax sharing payments, loans or otherwise. </FONT></P>

ability to distribute cash to The AES Corporation. Most of the subsidiaries are obligated, pursuant to loan agreements, indentures or project financing arrangements, to satisfy certain restricted payment covenants or other conditions before they may
make distributions to The AES Corporation. In addition, the payment of dividends or the making of loans, advances or other payments to The AES Corporation may be subject to other contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions or may be prohibited
altogether. Business performance and local accounting and tax rules may limit the amount of retained earnings that may be distributed to us as a dividend. Subsidiaries in foreign countries may also be prevented from distributing funds to The AES
Corporation as a result of foreign governments restricting the repatriation of funds or the conversion of currencies. Any right that The AES Corporation has to receive any assets of any of its subsidiaries upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding
up, receivership, reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings (and the consequent right of the holders of The AES Corporation&#146;s indebtedness to participate in the distribution of, or to realize proceeds from, those assets)

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Change of Control provisions will not necessarily afford protection to holders, including protection against an adverse effect on the value of the notes, in the event that AES or its Subsidiaries
incur additional debt, whether through recapitalizations or otherwise. In addition, holders of the Notes may not be entitled to require AES to repurchase their notes in certain circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of
AES&#146;s Board of Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest where AES&#146;s Board of Directors does not endorse a dissident slate of directors but approves them as directors. In this regard, a decision of the Delaware Chancery Court
(not involving AES or its securities) considered a change of control provision of an indenture governing publicly traded debt securities substantially similar to the change of control event described in clause (iii)&nbsp;of the definition of
&#147;Change of Control.&#148; In its decision, the court noted that a board of directors may &#147;approve&#148; a dissident shareholder&#146;s nominees solely for purposes of such an indenture, provided the board of directors determines in good
faith that the election of the dissident nominees would not be materially adverse to the interests of the corporation or its stockholders (without taking into consideration the interests of the holders of debt securities in making this
determination). See the definition for &#147;Change of Control&#148; below. With respect to a sale of assets, the phrase &#147;all or substantially all,&#148; which appears in the definition of Change of Control, has not gained an established
meaning. In interpreting this phrase, courts have made subjective determinations, considering such factors as the value of the assets conveyed and the proportion of an entity&#146;s income derived from such assets. Accordingly, there may be
uncertainty as to whether a holder can determine whether a Change of Control has occurred and can exercise any remedies such holder may have upon a Change of Control. </FONT></P>

position that the possibility that it may be required to make these payments does not result in the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury Regulations. The Company&#146;s position is not binding on
the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). If the IRS successfully takes a contrary position, U.S. Holders would be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of the notes as ordinary income rather than as
capital gain. In addition, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue interest income on a constant yield basis at an assumed yield determined at the time of issuance of the notes, with adjustments to such accruals when any contingent payments are
made that differ from the payments calculated based on the assumed yield. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments. The remainder of this

purchase price (disregarding the amount attributable to pre-acquisition accrued interest) over the principal amount, and a U.S. Holder may elect to amortize this bond premium, using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the note. A
U.S. Holder generally may use the amortizable bond premium allocable to an accrual period to offset stated interest otherwise required to be included in income with respect to the note in that accrual period. An election to amortize bond premium
applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned or thereafter acquired and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. However, because the notes may be redeemed at an amount in excess of the principal amount under certain circumstances, a
U.S. Holder&#146;s ability to amortize bond premium may be limited or deferred. A U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor regulating the calculation of amortizable bond premium. </FONT></P>
