SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

 

Dear
William Luraschi:

 

This
document, upon your signature, will constitute the Agreement between you and
The AES Corporation (together with its affiliates and related entities, the “Company”)
on the terms of your separation from the Company (the “Agreement”).

 

1.                                            Your employment is terminated effective May 31,
2008 (the “Termination Date”). You will be paid your earned compensation
through and including the Termination Date. You have received or will receive
by separate cover information regarding your rights to continuation of your
health insurance which will cease as of the last day of the month in which your
Termination Date occurs. To the extent that you have such rights, nothing in
this Agreement will impair those rights.

 

2.                                            You have or will return to the Company by the
Termination Date:, (i) all reports, files, memoranda,
records, software, laptops, computer equipment, cellular phones, credit cards,
cardkey passes, door and file keys, computer access codes or disks and
instructional manuals, other than any Excluded Materials (as defined below);
and (ii) any other physical or personal property that you received in
connection with your employment with the Company that you then have in your
possession and you shall not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions or
excerpts thereof. The “Excluded Materials” are (i) 2 laptop computers — an
IBM T43 and an IBM X60, and (ii) a Blackberry Pearl phone. Title to the
Excluded Materials will pass to you upon satisfaction of the following
conditions: (i) satisfaction of the conditions listed in Section 3
(i), (ii) and (iii) below; and (ii) deletion of all confidential
information of the Company from the Excluded Materials by the Company.

 

The
Company will reimburse you in accordance with its existing policies for any
legitimate expenses you incurred on Company business prior to the Termination
Date. You must submit any expense reimbursement requests by June 15, 2008.

 

3.                                            Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in
consideration for (i) your execution of this Agreement; (ii) your
satisfactory work performance through the Termination Date as determined by
Paul Hanrahan; and (iii) your return of an executed copy of this Agreement
to the Company by May 15, 2008, the Company will provide you, pursuant to
the terms and provisions of The AES Corporation Severance Plan, as amended (“Severance
Plan”), with the following (collectively, “Consideration”):

 

(a)                                       twelve (12) monthly salary continuation
benefits (based on your 2008 annualized base salary + target bonus of
USD$514,500) in equal monthly installments, each less applicable taxes and
deductions. The first of these monthly payments shall begin with the next
regular payroll period occurring after the seventh business day following your
Termination Date, and the remaining payment shall be made monthly in accordance
with the Company’s established payroll practices;

 

(b)                                      a prorated bonus for your work in 2008 equal
to 41.6% of your 2008 annual target bonus, less applicable taxes and
deductions; provided that all performance conditions and other terms and
conditions applicable to such bonus and the payment thereof must be met prior
to payment. Such payment, if any, will be made to you in calendar year 2009 on
or prior to March 15, 2009;

 

(c)                                       outplacement benefits to begin after your
Termination Date;

 

(d)                                      in addition, if you are already participating
in the medical/RX, dental and/or vision benefit plans and should you elect to
continue these benefits under COBRA, the Company will pay the portion of the

 

 

premium
cost of such coverage presently paid by the Company under the Company’s plan
for a twelve (12) period which period shall commence at the beginning of the
calendar month following the calendar month containing your Termination Date;
and

 

(e)                                       finally, to the extent applicable, you will
be entitled to the Excise Tax Reimbursement benefits described in Appendix A of
the Severance Plan.

 

Absent
the entry of this Agreement you would not be entitled to such Consideration.

 

Any
stock options, restricted stock units and performance units of The AES
Corporation that have been previously granted to you but that have not yet
vested on or before your Termination Date, will not vest following your
Termination Date and will therefore be forfeited in their entirety. Please also
see the relevant plan and notice documents for other important provisions
triggered by your termination.

 

4.                                            The intent of this section is to secure your
promise not to sue the Company, or anyone connected with it, for any harm you
may claim to have suffered in connection with your employment or the
termination of your employment, in return for the benefits described in this
Agreement. Accordingly, in exchange for the Consideration, you hereby agree as
follows:

separation from employment with the Company. The fact that the Company is

manner whatsoever.

marketing of the Company or any of its related entities or any Released Party.

 

(b)                                      The terms of this Agreement, the benefits
being paid under it or the fact of such payment, except that you may disclose
this information to your attorney, accountant or other professional advisor to
whom you must make the disclosure in order for them to render professional
services to you. You will instruct them, however, to maintain the
confidentiality of this information just as you must. In addition, you will not
make, or cause to be made, any statements, observations or opinions, or
communicate any information (whether oral or written) (collectively “Statements”)
including Statements to the press, media, Company employees, clients, customer,
contractors or any other party, that disparage or are likely in any way to harm

7.                                            In the event that you breach any of your
obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions
of Sections 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 of this Agreement, or as otherwise
imposed by law, the Company will be entitled to recover the benefits paid under
this Agreement and to obtain all other relief provided by law or equity.

 

8.                                            By executing this Agreement, you agree and

amount paid to you pursuant to this Agreement may at the Company’s sole
discretion be set off against any amount or sum for which the Company is (or at
any time

may
be) held liable to pay you with respect to or in connection with the
relationship between you and the Company.

 

10.                                      You covenant and agree that you shall not
voluntarily cooperate with, encourage or instigate any third party, person or
entity in threatening, preparing, commencing or prosecuting any legal action or

third party, person or entity or any attorney or representative thereof, or
providing any assistance, information, documents, testimony or representation
to or for the benefit of any such third party, person or entity or any attorney
or representative thereof. Provided, however, that this paragraph shall not be
interpreted to limit your ability to respond to questions or otherwise provide

11.                                      Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to preclude you from providing truthful testimony or information
pursuant to a valid court order or similar legal process; provided, however,
that prior to making any such disclosure, you will promptly notify the Company
of such request or requirement so that the Company, if it so chooses, will have
sufficient opportunity to seek to avoid or minimize the required disclosure
and/or to obtain an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief.
In any such case, you will use your reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Company in its efforts to avoid or minimize the required disclosure and/or to
obtain such protective order or other relief.

defense of any and all Claims, which are asserted by any person or entity other
than you concerning or related to any matter that arises out of events or
occurrences during your involvement in the business and affairs of the Company,
and you will be reimbursed for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in
connection therewith. Except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law
or court order, or as permitted under Section 11, and in each such case, provided
that you comply with the provisions of Section 11, you further agree to
maintain in strict confidence any information or knowledge you have regarding
Claims against the Released Parties. You agree to communicate with any party
adverse to the Released Parties, or with a representative, agent or legal
counsel for any such Claims solely through legal counsel for the Released
Parties, although you may at your own expense retain your own counsel in
connection with any such matter.

 

13.                                      You agree that while you are receiving
severance payments from the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) above,
you will not (i) be employed by or provide services or advice to any

through and including the Termination Date. 
You have received or will receive by separate cover information

nothing in this Agreement will impair those rights.

 

2.                                       You have or will return to the Company by the
Termination Date: (i) all reports, files, memoranda, records, software,

3.                                       Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in
consideration for (i) your execution of this Agreement; (ii) your
satisfactory work performance through the Termination Date as determined by
Andres Gluski; and (iii) your return of an executed copy of this Agreement
to the Company by December 15, 2008, the Company will provide you,
pursuant to the terms and provisions of The AES Corporation Severance Plan, as
amended (“Severance Plan”), with the following (collectively, “Consideration”):

 

(a)                                  twelve (12) monthly salary continuation
benefits (based on your 2008 annualized base salary + target bonus of
USD$297,500) in equal monthly installments, each less applicable taxes and
deductions.  The first of these monthly payments shall begin with the
next regular payroll period occurring after the seventh business day following
your Termination Date, and the remaining payment shall be made monthly in
accordance with the Company’s established payroll practices;

 

(b)                                 a prorated bonus for your work in 2008 equal

4.                                       The intent of this section is to secure your
promise not to sue the Company, or anyone connected with it, for any harm you
may claim to have suffered in connection with your employment or the
termination of your employment, in return for the benefits described in this
Agreement.  Accordingly, in exchange for
the Consideration, you hereby agree as follows:

Released Parties; and

 

(c)                                  You agree (i) that you will not bring

5.                                       The Company is providing you with the
benefits described in this Agreement solely to ease the impact of your
separation from employment with the Company. 
The fact that the Company is offering these benefits to you should not
be understood as nor is it intended to be an admission that the Company, any of
its related entities or any Released Party has violated your rights (or the
rights of anyone else) in any manner whatsoever.

 

6.                                       You will not, unless (i) required by
law, or (ii) the information in question has been filed by the Company
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, disclose to anyone other than
members of the Arlington Legal Group and the Arlington Human Resources Group
any information regarding the following:

 

(a)                                  Any information regarding the practices,

being paid under it or the fact of such payment, except (i) that you may
disclose this information to your immediate family and/or your attorney,
accountant or other professional advisor to whom you must make the disclosure
in order for them to render professional services to you and (ii) that
prior to the filing of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission by the Company, you may disclose paragraph 13 of this Agreement to
prospective employers.  You will instruct
them in each case, however, to maintain the confidentiality of this information
just as you must.  In addition, you will
not make, or cause to be made, any statements, observations or opinions, or

occurrences during your involvement in the business and affairs of the Company,

connection therewith.  Except as
otherwise required pursuant to applicable law or court order, or as permitted
under Section 11, and in each such case, provided that you comply

confidence any information or knowledge you have regarding Claims against the
Released Parties.  You agree to
