public debt securities, is dependent upon the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries by way of dividends, fees, interest, loans or otherwise. </I></B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT COLOR="#32406b">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 debt 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT COLOR="#32406b">However, our subsidiaries face various restrictions in their ability
to distribute cash to The AES Corporation. Most of our subsidiaries are obligated, pursuant to loan agreements, indentures or non-recourse 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 debt to participate in the distribution of, or to realize proceeds from, those assets) will be
effectively subordinated to the claims of any such subsidiary&#146;s creditors (including trade creditors and holders of debt issued by such subsidiary). </FONT></P>

will also constitute an event of default under AES&#146;s senior secured credit facility and other debt instruments. Due to the highly leveraged nature of AES, there can be no assurance that AES will have sufficient funds to purchase tendered notes
upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT COLOR="#32406b">The Change of Control Triggering Event 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 provision, 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 definitions for &#147;Change of Control Triggering Event&#148; and
&#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 Triggering Event has occurred and can exercise any remedies such holder may have upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. </FONT></P>

payable on the notes or may pay amounts prior to the normally scheduled payment dates. In particular, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company would generally be required to repurchase the notes at 101.00% of their
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, as described under &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.&#148; The Company intends to take the 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 discussion assumes that the notes are not
treated as contingent payment debt instruments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT COLOR="#32406b"><B><I>Payments of Interest </I></B></FONT></P>
