would have been in if the Tax Payment had not been required to be made by the Company.

	11.4	 	Stamp taxes
	 
	 	 	The Company must pay and indemnify each Finance Party within ten (10) days of demand
against any Liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, stamp duty
land tax, registration or other similar Tax payable in connection with the entry into,
performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in
connection with the entry into of a Transfer Certificate.
	 
	11.5	 	Value added taxes

	 	(a)	 	All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by
any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration
for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that
supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (c) below, if VAT is chargeable on any
supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, that Party
must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the
consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must
promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).
	 
	 	(b)	 	If VAT is chargeable by reference to any supply made by any Finance Party
(the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Finance
Document, and any Party (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the

65

 

	 	 	 	consideration for
that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient
in respect of that consideration), the relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier
(in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the
amount of VAT. The Recipient must promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount
equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it
reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for
any costs or expenses, that Party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the
Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs
or expenses but only to the extent that the relevant Finance Party (acting reasonably)
determines that neither it nor any member of any group of which it is a member for VAT
purposes is entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect
of the VAT.

	12	 	INCREASED COSTS
	 
	12.1	 	Increased Costs

	 	(a)	 	Subject to Clause 12.3 (Exceptions) the Company shall, within ten (10) days
of a demand by the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders), pay for
the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that
Finance Party or any Affiliate of such Finance Party as a result of:

	 	(i)	 	the introduction of or any change in (or in the
interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of
this Agreement.

	 	(b)	 	In this Agreement, “Increased Costs” means:

	 	(i)	 	a reduction in the rate of return from the relevant Facility
or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	an additional or increased cost; or

Document,

	 	 	 	which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or its Affiliates to the extent
that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its
Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

66

 

	12.2	 	Increased Cost Claims

	 	(a)	 	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 12 (Increased
Costs) shall notify the Company and the Global Agent of the event giving rise to the
claim, setting out in reasonable detail the basis for such claims. Upon receipt of
such notification, the Global Agent shall notify all of the Lenders of such claim.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable but in any event within no
more than ten (10) days after a demand by the Global Agent or the Company, provide a
certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs, together with all the
supporting information as the Company or the Global Agent may reasonably require.

	12.3	 	Exceptions
	 
	 	 	Clause 12.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

	 	(a)	 	compensated for by a Tax Payment;
	 
	 	(b)	 	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by the Company;
	 
	 	(c)	 	attributable to the breach of any law by the relevant Finance Party;
	 
	 	(d)	 	compensated for by the payment of a Mandatory Cost; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	attributable to the willful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its
affiliates of any law or regulation.

	 	(iii)	 	receipt of the consent of the Company for an assignment or
transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another existing
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Default has occurred and is continuing
and provided that:

	 	(A)	 	the consent of the Company to an assignment
or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the Company will be deemed to have given
its consent seven (7) days after the Lender has requested it unless
consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time; and
	 
	 	(C)	 	the consent of the Company to an assignment
or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or
transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

	 	(c)	 	If:

	 	(i)	 	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or
obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the

payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new

118

 

Facility Office under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 11.2 (Tax
Indemnity) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only
entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Lender or
Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the
assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

	 	(d)	 	On the Transfer Date:

	 	(i)	 	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Lender
transfers by novation any of its rights and obligations under the Finance
Documents, the Company and the Lender shall be released from further
obligations towards one another in respect of such rights and obligations
under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another
shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the Company and the New Lender shall assume obligations
towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ
from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Company and the
New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Company and
the Lender;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire
the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they
would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender
with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of
the transfer and to that extent the Lender and the other Parties hereto shall
each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement;
and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

	27.3	 	Copy of Transfer Certificate to Company

The Global Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer
Certificate, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

	27.4	 	Limitation of Responsibility of Lenders

warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

	 	(i)	 	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
enforceability of the Principal Documents or any other documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the financial condition of any Major Project Party;

119

 

	 	(iii)	 	the performance and observance by any Major Project Party of
its obligations under the Principal Documents; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made
in or in connection with any Principal Documents,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

	 	(b)	 	Each New Lender confirms to the Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

	 	(i)	 	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent
investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each
Major Project Party and its related entities in connection with its
participation in the Principal Documents and has not relied exclusively on any
information provided to it by the Lender in connection with any Principal
Documents; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Major Project Party and its related entities whilst
any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any
Available Commitment under any Loan Agreement is in force.

	 	(c)	 	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges a Lender to:

	 	(i)	 	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights
and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27 (Changes to the
Lenders); or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New
Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Major Project Party of its
obligations under the Principal Documents or otherwise.

	27.5	 	Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall (unless such New Lender is an Original Participant), on the date upon
which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Global Agent (for its own account)
a fee of two thousand five hundred US Dollars (US$2,500).

	28	 	ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY THE PARTIES

No Party may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
the Finance Documents other than as expressly permitted herein or therein.

Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders)” or “Global Agent (acting on the instructions
of the Lenders)” to give its consent or approval to any event, matter or thing or to
make any determination or to exercise any duty, right, power or discretion, then:

	 	(i)	 	subject to paragraph (ii) below, if the relevant Finance
Document specifies that the Global Agent is required to give its consent or
approval to that event, matter or thing, then the Global Agent will give its
consent or approval to that event, matter or thing only if the Majority
Lenders instruct the Global Agent that they are satisfied that those specified
conditions have been satisfied;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if the relevant consent or approval to that event, matter or
thing or determination or exercise of duty, right, power or discretion is in
respect of an amendment or waiver under Clause 37.2 (Exceptions), then the
Global Agent will give its consent or approval to that event, matter or thing
in accordance with Clause 37.2 (Exceptions),

provided that the Global Agent may at all times, whether or not so directed, take
such action in respect of any right, power or discretion which is personal to the
Global Agent or is to preserve or protect the Global Agent’s position or is of a
purely administrative nature.

	 	(b)	 	The Global Agent is fully protected and shall incur no Liability if it acts
on the instructions of the Majority Lenders or, where required all of the Lenders, in
the exercise of any right, power or discretion or any matter not expressly provided
for in the Finance Documents. Any such instructions given by the Majority Lenders
will be binding on all the Lenders. The Global Agent shall be entitled to seek
clarification from the Majority Lenders with regard to such instructions where the
Global Agent reasonably determines that clarification is required and may in its
discretion elect not to act pending receipt of such clarification to its satisfaction
from the Majority Lenders.
	 
	 	(c)	 	In the absence of instructions, the Global Agent shall not be obliged to act
(and shall have no Liability for any failure to act) but may act or refrain from
acting as it considers to be in the best interests of all the Lenders.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Global Agent may refrain from acting (and shall incur no Liability) in
accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, if appropriate, all of
the Lenders) until it has received security satisfactory to it, whether by way of
payment in advance or otherwise, against any Liability which it may incur in complying
with those instructions.

122

 

	 	(e)	 	The Global Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without
first obtaining that Lender’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings in
connection with any Finance Document, unless the legal or arbitration proceedings
relate to:

the Security Documents; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the enforcement of any Security Document.

	 	(ii)	 	any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any
Finance Party has not been exercised.

	 	(b)	 	The Global Agent is not obliged to monitor or enquire whether a Default has
occurred. The Global Agent is not deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a
Default.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Global Agent:

	 	(i)	 	receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement,
describing a Default and stating that the event is a Default;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	receives notice from a Party of a Force Majeure Event; or

completeness of any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or
supplied in connection with any Finance Document.

123

 

	 	(b)	 	No Administrative Party is responsible for the legality, validity,
effectiveness, adequacy, completeness or enforceability of any Finance Document or any
other document.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Without affecting the responsibility of the Company for information supplied
by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms
that it:

	 	(i)	 	has made, and will continue to make, its own independent
appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance
Documents including:

	 	(A)	 	the financial condition, status and nature
of each Major Project Party;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the legality, validity, effectiveness,
adequacy or enforceability of any Principal Document and any other
agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
anticipation of, under or in connection with any Principal Document;
	 
	 	(C)	 	whether that Finance Party has recourse,
and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any
of its respective assets under or in connection with any Principal
Document, the transactions contemplated by the Principal Documents or
any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any
Principal Document; and
	 
	 	(D)	 	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness
of the Information Memorandum and any other information provided by
any Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection
with any Principal Document, the transactions contemplated by the
Principal Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document
entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in
connection with any Principal Document.

	 	(ii)	 	has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it
by any Administrative Party in connection with any Finance Document or
agreement entered into in anticipation of or in connection with any Finance

	 	(d)	 	No Administrative Party is responsible for:

	 	(i)	 	the right or title of any person in or to, or the value of,
or sufficiency of any part of the security created by the Security Documents;

124

 

	 	(ii)	 	the priority of any security created by the Security
Documents; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the existence of any other Security Interest affecting any
asset secured under a Security Document.

	29.8	 	Information

	 	(a)	 	If the Global Agent receives an original or copy document on behalf of
another Person pursuant to the Finance Documents, it must promptly forward to the
relevant Person that original or copy document provided that in respect of any Equity
Distribution Transfer Certificate, the Global Agent must forward such Equity
Distribution Transfer Certificate to the Lenders on the Business Day following receipt
or the second Business Day following receipt if the Equity Distribution Transfer
Certificate was received after normal business hours.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Global Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or
completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Except as provided above, the Global Agent has no duty:

	 	(i)	 	either initially or on a continuing basis to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the risks arising under
or in connection with the Finance Documents (including any information
relating to the financial condition or affairs of any Major Project Party or
its related entities or the nature or extent of recourse against any Party or
its assets) whether coming into its possession before, on or after the date of
this Agreement;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	unless specifically requested to do so by a Lender in
accordance with a Finance Document, to request any certificate or other

performance or observance by any party to a Finance Document of such party’s
obligations under any Finance Documents.

	 	(d)	 	In acting as the Global Agent, the Global Agent will be regarded as acting
through its agency division which will be treated as a separate entity from its other
divisions and departments. Any information acquired by the Global Agent which, in its
sole opinion and its absolute discretion, is acquired by another division or
department or otherwise than in its capacity as the Global Agent may be treated as
confidential by the Global Agent (in accordance with any applicable law, regulation,
confidentiality undertaking or applicable internal confidentiality requirements of the
Global Agent) and will not be treated as information possessed by the Global Agent in
its capacity as such.

125

 

	 	(e)	 	The Global Agent is not obliged to disclose to any person any confidential
information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Company solely for the purpose of
evaluating whether any waiver or amendment is required in respect of any term of the
Finance Documents.
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Company irrevocably authorises the Global Agent to disclose to the other
Finance Parties any information which, in its opinion, is received by it in its
capacity as the Global Agent.

Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of an Administrative Party may
rely on this Clause 29 (Agency Provisions) and enforce its terms under the Contracts
(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

126

 

	 	(c)	 	The Global Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related

responsible for any know your customer requirements it is required to carry out and
that it may not rely on any statement in relation to those requirements made by any
other person.

	29.11	 	Compliance

Each Administrative Party may refrain from doing anything (including disclosing any
information) which might, in its opinion:

	 	(a)	 	constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at
the suit of any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or
desirable to comply with any law or regulation; or

believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity in respect thereof is not
assured to it.

	29.12	 	Relationship with Lenders

Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Liability incurred by the Global Agent (other than by
reason of the Global Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) in acting as the
Global Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Global Agent has been reimbursed
in full by the Company pursuant to a Finance Document).

assigning any reason therefor and the Majority Lenders may remove the Global Agent by
giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to that effect to each of the other

	33	 	PAYMENT MECHANICS

	33.1	 	Payments to Lenders and the Company
	 
	 	 	On each date on which the Company or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance
Document, the Company or the Lender, as the case may be, shall make the same available to
the Global Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on
the due date at the time and in such funds specified by such Person as being customary at
the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

	33.2	 	Distributions by the Global Agent
	 
	 	 	Each payment received by the Global Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party
shall, subject to Clause 33.3 (Clawback), be made available as soon as practicable after
receipt by the Global Agent to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with the
Finance Documents (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to
such account as that Party may notify to the Global Agent by not less than seven (7) days
notice.

	33.3	 	Clawback

	 	(a)	 	Where a sum is to be paid to a Global Agent under the relevant Finance
Documents for the account of another Lender, Participant or KfW, the Global Agent is
not obliged to pay that sum to that Person (or to enter into or perform any related
exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has
actually received that sum.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the Global Agent pays an amount to such Person and it proves to be the
case that the Global Agent had not actually received that amount, then such Person to
whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the
Global Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Global Agent together with
interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Global
Agent, calculated by the Global Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

	33.4	 	No Set-Off by the Company

	 	(a)	 	All payments to be made by the Company under the Finance Documents shall be
calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or
counterclaim.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Paragraph (a) above does not apply to any payment netting provisions
contained in a Hedging Contract entered into in accordance with this Agreement.

be made on the next Business Day in the same month (if there is one) or the
immediately preceding Business Day (if there is not) except for any payment due on the
Final Repayment Date under any Facility which, if such date is not a Business Day,
shall always be payable on the preceding Business Day.
	 
	 	(b)	 	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or an
Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at
the rate payable on the original due date.

	33.6	 	Currency of Account

	 	(a)	 	Subject to paragraph (b) below, US Dollars are the currency of account and
payment for any sum due from the Company under any Finance Document.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the
currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred.

	33.7	 	Change of Currency

	 	(a)	 	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency
unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful
currency of that country, then:

	 	(i)	 	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any
obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that
country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of
that country designated by the Global Agent (after consultation with the
Company and any affected Finance Party); and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another
shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for
the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or
down by the Global Agent (acting reasonably).

	 	(b)	 	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the
extent the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) specifies to be
necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market
practice in the relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in
currency.

134

 

	33.8	 	Partial payments

	 	(a)	 	If the Global Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all the
amounts then due and payable by the Company under the Finance Documents, the Global
Agent must apply that payment towards the obligations of the Company under the Finance
Documents in the following order:

	 	(i)	 	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees,
costs and expenses of the Administrative Parties under the Finance Documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	second, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued
interest or fees due but unpaid under this Agreement;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	third, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal
amount due but unpaid under this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	fourth, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due
but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

	 	(b)	 	The Global Agent must, if so directed by the Lenders, vary the order set out
in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.
	 
	 	(c)	 	This Clause 33.8 (Partial payments) will override any appropriation made by
the Company.

	33.9	 	Disruption to payment systems

	 	(a)	 	If the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) determines
that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Company notifies the Global Agent that a
Disruption Event has occurred, the Global Agent:

	 	(i)	 	may, and must if requested by the Company, enter into
discussions with the Company for a period of not more than five (5) days with
a view to agreeing any changes to the operation or administration of the
Facilities (“changes”) as the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the
Lenders) may decide is necessary;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	is not obliged to enter into discussions with the Company in
relation to any changes if, in its opinion, it is not practicable so to do and
has no obligation to agree to any changes;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any
changes but is not obliged so to do if, in its opinion, it is not practicable
in the circumstances; and

135

 

	 	(iv)	 	must notify the Finance Parties of any changes agreed under
this Clause 33.9 (Disruption to payment systems).

	 	(b)	 	Any agreement between the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the
Lenders) and the Company will be, (whether or not it is finally determined that a
Disruption Event has occurred), binding on the Parties notwithstanding the provisions
of Clause 37 (Amendments and Waivers).
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Global Agent makes any payment to any person in respect of a Liability
incurred as a result of taking or not taking any action under this Clause 33.9
(Disruption to payment systems), the amount of that payment is an amount in respect of
which each Lender must indemnify the Global Agent for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
any Liability incurred by the Global Agent under this Clause 33.9 (Disruption to
payment systems) (unless the Global Agent has been reimbursed by the Company under a
Finance Document) unless such payment was made as a result of the Global Agent’s
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

	41	 	ENFORCEMENT
	 
	41.1	 	Jurisdiction

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in any of the Security Documents and subject to
the Company’s right to propose arbitration pursuant to Clause 41.2 (Arbitration) and
the Lenders’ option to agree to such proposal, or to initiate arbitration pursuant to
Clause 41.2 (Arbitration), the Parties agree that the courts of England shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with the
Finance Documents (including a dispute regarding the existence, breach, validity or
termination of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents) (a “Dispute”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Parties agree that English law shall govern the determination of any
Dispute regardless of the jurisdiction in which the Dispute is heard.

	41.2	 	Arbitration

	 	(a)	 	Prior to the commencement of any legal proceedings by the Company (other than
Interim Proceedings) in the courts of England in respect of a Dispute the Company
shall give prior notice to the Lenders, and the Lenders acting unanimously shall
indicate to the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice
from the Company, whether that Dispute shall instead be resolved by arbitration
pursuant to this Clause 41.2 (Arbitration), provided that this Clause 41.2
(Arbitration) shall not prejudice the right of the Lenders to commence arbitration in
respect of a Dispute by giving prior notice to the Company. If the Lenders notify the
Company that the Dispute is to be resolved by arbitration, to which the Company shall
not object, the following provisions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company shall not be required to give notice pursuant to this Clause prior to the
commencement of Interim Proceedings.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any arbitration commenced in respect of a Dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law
(“UNCITRAL”), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause
save as modified by this Agreement. In any such arbitration:

International Arbitration (the “LCIA”);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the language to be used in the arbitration shall be English;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the place and seat of the arbitration shall be London,
England; and

144

 

	 	(iv)	 	the number of arbitrators shall be three. For the purpose of
Article 7 of the UNCITRAL Rules, where there are multiple parties, whether as
claimant or as respondent, the claimants shall act and be treated, jointly, as
‘a party’ and the respondents shall act and be treated, jointly, as ‘a party’.

	 	(c)	 	In any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Clause 41.2 (Arbitration):

	 	(i)	 	the Parties hereby waive any rights under the Arbitration Act
1996 (UK) to seek determination of a preliminary point of law by the courts of
England; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to the terms of any arbitration agreement agreed
between the Parties and the provisions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, the
Company shall be entitled to seek only from the Arbitral Tribunal, but not
from any judicial authority, any interim measures of protection or pre-award
relief (other than any relief sought through Interim Proceedings) against any
of the Finance Parties. Until the Arbitral Tribunal has been constituted, the
Company shall be entitled to institute Interim Proceedings in the courts of
England.

	 	(d)	 	In any arbitral proceeding, the certificate of a Finance Party as to any
amount due to that Finance Party under any Finance Document shall be prima facie
evidence of such amount.

Street, London EC4R 9AN as its agent for service of process in relation to any
proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document;
	 
	 	(b)	 	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Company of the process

	1.1	 	Insurances
	 
	 	 	Until the Final Termination Date, the Company shall effect and maintain, or cause to be
effected and maintained, insurances in respect of the risks and in the amounts and with
such other provisions specified in Exhibit A (Insurances). All such insurances (including
any Global Policy) shall comply with the requirements of this Schedule.
	 
	1.2	 	Other Insurances
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Schedule, until the Final Termination
Date, the Company shall effect and maintain, or cause to be effected and maintained, any
additional insurance not specified in Exhibit A which:

	 	(a)	 	it is required to maintain by any applicable law or by the terms of the
Project Documents; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	is required pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Additional Insurances) of this Schedule.

	2	 	ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO INSURANCES
	 
	2.1	 	General Requirements

	 	(a)	 	The Company shall procure that all insurances shall at all times:

	 	(i)	 	be purchased by or on behalf of the Company and through
agents approved in writing by the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of
the Lenders), the approval of which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s agent as at the date of
this Agreement (Chesterfield) and Beecher Carlson is hereby approved by the
Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders));

181

 

	 	(ii)	 	be placed and maintained with financially sound and reputable
insurers and, where applicable, reinsurers, who, at all times, maintain an
“A-X” rating by AM Best or “A-” rating by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services,
or any other insurer and, where applicable, reinsurer, acceptable to the
Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders), whose approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the minimum
ratings required above shall not apply to any local insurer or, if applicable
local reinsurer;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	insure each of:

	 	(A)	 	the Company;
	 
	 	(B)	 	the Finance Parties; and
	 
	 	(C)	 	in respect of third party liability, the
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Finance Parties,

thereof;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	have attached the endorsements specified in Exhibit B
(Insurance Policy Endorsements);
	 
	 	(v)	 	at all times comply with the requirements and specifications
of this Schedule or as otherwise agreed by the Global Agent.

	 	(ii)	 	is a necessary standard exclusion or exception within the
insurance industry for that type or size of risk covered by that insurance;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	previously approved in writing by the Global Agent (acting
on the instructions of the Lenders) whose approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) (for the avoidance of doubt, the insurance specified in

thereto are hereby approved by the Global Agent acting on the instructions of
the Lenders).

182

material circumstance which ought to be disclosed at any time to any insurer is fully
and fairly disclosed to them without misrepresentation.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Company shall not be obliged to procure or maintain, or cause the
procurement or maintenance of, any insurance or reinsurance if it is not available on
reasonable commercial terms (including reasonable premium) having regard to the type
or size of risk covered by that insurance or reinsurance (the reasonableness of such
terms and premiums to be confirmed by the Insurance Advisor). If not so available, the
Company will seek to reduce hazard and minimise risk to the Project, promptly effect
and maintain insurances on alternative terms approved in writing by the Global Agent
(acting on the instructions of the Lenders, acting reasonably and following
consultation with the Insurance Advisor, if necessary), provide the Global Agent with
information on the position in the insurance market and, if so required by the Global
Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders following consultation with the
Insurance Advisor, if necessary), promptly effect revised insurances and reinsurances
to include such terms as have become available on reasonable commercial terms
(including reasonable premiums) having regard to the type or size of risk covered by
that insurance or reinsurance (the reasonableness of such terms and premiums to be
confirmed by the Insurance Advisor).

	2.2	 	Policy Provisions
	 
	 	 	Each of the insurances and, where applicable, reinsurances required to be obtained pursuant
to this Schedule 12 (Insurance Requirements) shall be in the English language and contain
provisions to the effect that:

	 	(a)	 	no policy can expire or be varied, cancelled or suspended by the Company or
the insurer or the reinsurer (as applicable) for any reason (including failure to
renew the policy or to pay the premium or any other amount) unless the relevant
Security Agent and the Global Agent and, in the case of expiration or if cancellation
or suspension is initiated by the insurer or the reinsurer (as applicable), the
Company, receive at least twenty (20) days’ written notice in respect of non-payment
or otherwise at least sixty (60) days’ written notice (or such lesser period as the
Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) may agree with respect to
cancellation, suspension or termination in the event of war and kindred peril) prior
to the effective date of termination, cancellation or suspension;
	 
	 	(b)	 	where relevant, all policy provisions (except those relating to limits of
liability) shall operate as if they were a separate policy covering each insured
party;

183

 

	 	(c)	 	on every property insurance policy on the Company’s assets which are the
subject of the Security and on every insurance policy for business interruption, the
Onshore Security Agent is named as loss payee for any single claim in an amount
equivalent to one million US Dollars (US$1,000,000) or more, or any series of claims
arising with respect to the same event whose aggregate amount is the equivalent of one
million US Dollars (US$1,000,000) or more;
	 
	 	(d)	 	where relevant, the insurers or the reinsurers (as applicable) waive all
rights of recourse or subrogation, howsoever arising, against the Company and/or the
Finance Parties and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the Project
Documents;
	 
	 	(e)	 	all provisions of each of the insurances and, where applicable, reinsurances
conferring any right, protection or benefit to any Finance Party (including, without
limitation, sole loss payee (as its interests may appear) and additional insured
provisions, notice requirements, etc.) shall at all times remain in full force and in
effect notwithstanding any act (including misrepresentation and non-disclosure) or
failure to act on the part of the Company, its agents or employees; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	each of the insurances and, where applicable, reinsurances, other than the
Global Policy, shall be assignable to the Offshore Security Agent for the benefit of
the Finance Parties;

	 	 	provided that none of the policies required pursuant to this Schedule 12 (Insurance
Requirements) shall include any provision for self-insurance or any self-insured retention
except to the extent of the deductibles specified in this Schedule 12 (Insurance
Requirements) or the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) otherwise
approves from time to time (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
	 
	2.3	 	Global Policy Provisions

	 	(a)	 	Any insurance that is listed in Exhibit A (Insurances) as a “Global Policy”

occurrence of any insurable event covered by such policy and the insolvency of
the local insurer that is otherwise providing direct and primary insurance for
such insurable event.

184

 

	 	(b)	 	If for any reason the Company does not effect or maintain any insurance
policy that is currently listed in Exhibit A (Insurances) as a Global Policy,
the Company shall effect and maintain, or cause to be effected and maintained,
reinsurance of its direct and primary local insurances with any reinsurer that
meets the requirements of Clause 2.1(a) of this Schedule under a reinsurance policy
that meets the applicable requirements of this Schedule 12.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Company will assign its rights, benefits and interests in the Global
Policy under the English Security Agreement.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Following the occurrence of an Event of Default:

place shall be replaced no later than the next renewal date of such Global
Policy by an international reinsurance or reinsurances which meet the
requirements of this Schedule 12; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	no Global Policy shall be permitted to be in place without
the consent of the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders,

the instructions of the Lenders the approval of which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed),

renewal, and confirmation from the insurer or reinsurer that provisions naming
the relevant Finance Party or Finance Parties as loss payee or additional
named insured, as applicable, remain in effect;
	 
	 	(v)	 	within thirty (30) days after the end of each Financial Year
submit to the Global Agent a certificate from the Company’s insurers and/or
insurance brokers (if any), confirming that all insurances and reinsurances
are in full force and effect indicating the properties insured, amounts and
risks covered, names of the beneficiaries, names of the insurers and any
special features of the insurance policies in effect on the date of the
relevant certificate; and
	 
	 	(vi)	 	such evidence of premium payment as the Global Agent may from
time to time reasonably request.

	3.3	 	Broker Undertaking Letter
	 
	 	 	The Company will procure that every insurance and reinsurance broker who effects any
insurance writes a letter to the Global Agent in respect thereof in the form set out in
Exhibit C (Broker’s Letter of Confirmation and Undertaking).

189

 

	3.4	 	Files
	 
	 	 	The Company shall maintain intact its files (including all documents disclosed and
correspondence in connection with the placement of the insurances and claims thereunder)
until the Final Termination Date and (in the case of
insurances) for any run off period specified in Part 3 of Exhibit A (Insurances), and shall
give to the Global Agent all such information relating to the insurances as the Global
Agent may reasonably request in writing.

	4	 	CHANGES IN THE INSURANCES

	4.1	 	Additional Insurances
	 
	 	 	Subject to Clause 2.1(d) (General Requirements) of this Schedule, the Company undertakes to
purchase and maintain such additional insurance or wider cover and higher limits of cover
under existing insurances that a prudent developer, owner or operator of the Project, its
site and facilities would purchase and maintain, or as the Finance Parties may reasonably
require in order to protect their own interests in relation to the Project, if such
additional or wider cover at any time is or becomes available in the international
insurance or reinsurance market on reasonable commercial terms, if there is (in the
reasonable opinion of the Company or the Lenders) a material change in or material increase
in the insurable risks relating to the Project. In determining whether a prudent
developer, owner or operator of the Project would purchase such additional insurance regard
shall be had to the scope of such insurance and its cost in the context of the finances of
the Project.
	 
	4.2	 	Material variations in Cover
	 
	 	 	If any variation is proposed to be made to the terms of any insurance the Company shall
give (or cause to be given) at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof to
the Global Agent. No variation to any insurance shall be effected or agreed by the Company
until the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) notifies the Company in
writing either that the variation is not prejudicial to the Finance Parties or is otherwise
agreeable to the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders). The Global
Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) will not unreasonably withhold or delay
its agreement after obtaining any advice that it deems appropriate in considering the
Company’s request.
	 
	 	 	For the purpose of this clause a variation includes (without limitation):

	 	(a)	 	reduction to limits of cover or increase in deductible or an increase in
excess or self insurance arrangements of ten percent (10%) or more from those set out
herein;

190

 

	 	(b)	 	adverse changes to risks insured, to coverage terms, and the inclusion of new
exclusions or exceptions;
	 
	 	(c)	 	any cancellation, discontinuance, non-renewal or avoidance of any cover
provided under any insurance;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any change which might have the effect of causing a breach by the Company of
any obligation under this Agreement or a material breach under any other Principal
Document.

	5	 	NON COMPLIANCE WITH INSURANCE PROVISIONS

	5.1	 	Global Agent Power to Insure
	 
	 	 	Subject to Clause 2.1(d) (General Requirements) of this Schedule, and any other exceptions
provided in this Schedule, if at any time and for any reason any insurance is not in full
force and effect on the terms or for the insured values required under this Schedule, then
(without prejudice to any of the rights of any of the Finance Parties under the Finance
Documents) the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall forthwith be
entitled, at the cost and expense of the Company, to procure and pay for such insurance and
reinsurance as the Company should have effected or procured pursuant to the terms hereof or
at any time whilst such failure is continuing.

	5.2	 	Minimising Hazard
	 
	 	 	If any required insurance is for any reason at any time not in force, the Company shall
(without prejudice to any other obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Finance
Documents) take or procure the taking of all such steps to minimise hazard which are within
its power and which a prudent person in the position of the Company would take in the
circumstances.
	 
	6	 	CLAIMS
	 
	6.1	 	Pursuing Claims against Insurers
	 
	 	 	The Company shall promptly notify to insurers any matter for which it may be entitled to
claim under the insurances, and shall diligently pursue any claim.
	 
	6.2	 	Claims Conduct and Reporting
	 
	 	 	Subject to Clauses 6.3 (Larger Claims) of this Schedule and 6.4 (Rights following Event of
Default) of this Schedule the Company shall have the sole conduct of its claims under the
insurances arising out of any loss, but shall keep the Global Agent informed at semi-annual
intervals of the notification and progress of any claim relating to a loss in excess of one
million US Dollars (US$1,000,000)

191

 

	 	 	(before any deductible or excess) and the application of the resulting Insurance Proceeds. That information shall identify for each claim under
each insurance the type of claim, the Company’s claim reserve, the current status of that
claim, and such further information relating to that claim as the Global Agent (acting on
the instructions of the Lenders) may reasonably request.
	 
	6.3	 	Larger Claims
	 
	 	 	In respect of any loss where the actual or estimated totality of its claims arising is one
million US Dollars (US$1,000,000) or more (before any deductible or excess) (other than
with respect to third party liability) the Company shall not negotiate, compromise or
settle any claim with respect to such loss without the written consent of the Global Agent
(acting on the instructions of the Lenders), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
	 
	6.4	 	Rights following Event of Default
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other provisions of Clauses 6 (Claims) of this Schedule and 7
(Insurance Proceeds) of this Schedule, in relation to claims under the insurances (other
than as provided in Clause 7.2 (Pursuing Liability Claims) of this Schedule), if an Event
of Default has occurred and is outstanding:

	 	(a)	 	the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall have the
right to take over sole conduct of the Company’s claims; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) shall be
entitled to require all Insurance Proceeds (including funds in the Insurance Proceeds
Account) not required to be applied in accordance with the PPA, to be applied by the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

	7	 	INSURANCE PROCEEDS
	 
	7.1	 	Insurance Proceeds Account
	 
	 	 	Save as otherwise provided in this Clause 7 (Insurance Proceeds) all Insurance Proceeds
shall be paid into the Insurance Proceeds Account (as defined in the Project Accounts
Agreement) except for the proceeds of business interruption insurance which shall be paid
into the Offshore Revenue Account.
	 
	7.2	 	Pursuing Liability Claims
	 
	 	 	Clause 7.1 (Insurance Proceeds Account) does not apply to Insurance Proceeds paid in
respect of liabilities of the Company for third party claims insured under the insurances
to the extent that those Insurance Proceeds are applied directly to make payment to a third
party.

192

 

	7.3	 	Application of Insurance Proceeds
	 
	 	 	Subject to Clauses 6.4 (Rights following Event of Default) of this Schedule, the Company
may withdraw Insurance Proceeds paid into the Insurance Proceeds Account in accordance with
Clause 8.2 (Mandatory Prepayment of Insurance Proceeds and Compensation Proceeds) of this
Agreement and the Project Accounts Agreement.

	2	 	Acknowledgement of assignment
	 
	 	 	The Insurers acknowledge that they have been notified that the Company has assigned by way
of first ranking security to the Finance Parties the benefit of this insurance and its
interest and rights in its subject matter of this insurance, and confirm that they have not
been notified of any other pledge or assignment of or security interest in the Company’s
interest in this insurance.

198

 

	3	 	Additional insurance of the Finance Parties
	 
	 	 	The Insurers acknowledge that the Finance Parties and (in respect of third party
liabilities) their respective officers, directors, employees and assigns are each
additional nsureds under this policy and that the premium specified in this policy provides
consideration for their being additional insured parties. The Insurers waive any claim
that they might otherwise have against any such additional insured party in respect of any
premium payable in respect of this insurance.
	 
	4	 	Segregation of co-insureds’ cover
	 
	 	 	The Insurers agree that each of the Insureds shall for the purpose of this Policy be
treated as an individually and separately insured party to the insurance contract, and each
shall be separately insured from any other insured person in respect of its own insurable
rights and interest provided that the total liability of the Insurers under each Part of
this policy to all Insureds collectively shall not (unless the Policy specifically permits
otherwise) exceed the limit of indemnity stated to be insured thereby. The liability of
the Insurers under this Policy to any one Insured shall not be conditional upon the due
observance and fulfilment by any other insured party of the terms and conditions of this
Policy or of any contractual, pre-contractual or non-contractual duties imposed by law or
contract upon that other insured party relating thereto, and shall not be affected by any
failure in such observance or fulfilment by any such other insured party. Without
prejudice to the protections afforded to the Insured by this endorsement, no one Insured
represents or warrants the adequacy or accuracy of any information provided or
representation made by or on behalf of any other Insured.
	 
	5	 	Scope of Disclosure
	 
	 	 	The Insurers acknowledge that there is no information which has been relied on or is
required by Insurers in respect of their decision to co-insure the Finance Parties or their
directors, officers, employees or agents. Non-disclosure or misrepresentation, negligence
or breach by any one Insured (or its agent) shall not be attributable to any other insured
party who did not directly and actively participate in that non-disclosure or
misrepresentation knowing it to be such.
	 
	6	 	Limitation on Power to amend insurances
	 
	 	 	Each Insurer severally agrees that neither the sums insured nor the risks covered under
this policy and any renewal of it by that Insurer will be reduced in any way, and that no
deductible, excess or retention will be increased, without the prior written agreement of
the Onshore Security Agent.

199

 

	7	 	Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights
	 
	 	 	The Insurers hereby waive all rights:

	 	(a)	 	of subrogation or action howsoever arising which they may have or acquire
arising out of any occurrence in respect of which any claim is admitted hereunder:

	 	(i)	 	against any of the Finance Parties or their officers,
directors, employees and agents; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	against the Company until all its financial indebtedness to
the Finance Parties has been discharged; and/or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	involving the exercise of rights or powers vested in the
Company or any Finance Party (acting in any capacity) under or by virtue of
any agreement relating to the Project; and

	 	(b)	 	to reduce the amount payable under this policy by reason of the existence of
any other contract of insurance covering the same risk, or to seek contribution from
any other insurance effected by any of the Finance Parties.

	8	 	Offset
	 
	 	 	The Insurers shall not be entitled to offset any sums payable to the Finance Parties
against premium or other monies owing by the Company, nor any sums owing to the Company
under this Policy against any monies owing by the Company under any other policy or
contract.
	 
	9	 	Loss Payments
	 
	 	 	For the benefit of the Onshore Security Agent the insured parties irrevocably authorise and
instruct the Insurer to pay, and the Insurer agrees to pay, all claims, return premiums, ex
gratia settlements and any other monies payable to any of them, other than the Finance
Parties, under or in relation to this contract to the Offshore Insurance Proceeds Account
or to such other account as the Onshore Security Agent as loss payee may specify in
writing, and that no instruction, whether by the Company or by any person other than the
Onshore Security Agent, to make any payment to any other person or account shall be
honoured by the Insurer unless given or countersigned by the Onshore Security Agent, or
such other person as that Onshore Security Agent may notify to the Insurer in writing. All
such payments shall be made by the Insurer without any deduction or set-off on any account
or of any kind. A payment to the loss payee in accordance with this clause shall, to the
extent of that payment, discharge the liability of the

200

 

	 	 	Insurer to pay the Company or other
claimant insured party. Any monies received by the Insurer from any facultative reinsurers
of the risks insured under this policy shall be received and held by the Insurer in trust
for the relevant claimant Insured.
The arrangements in this clause shall continue to apply notwithstanding the liquidation or
insolvency of the Company or the Insurer.
	 
	10	 	Notices by Insurers
	 
	 	 	The Insurers shall give to the Onshore Security Agent 15 days’ notice in writing in respect
of any failure to pay any premium by the Company and otherwise at least 60 days notice in
writing:

	 	(a)	 	if any Insurer intends to cancel or suspend this insurance or any cover under
this insurance for any reason;
	 
	 	(b)	 	before avoiding for non payment of any overdue premium in order to give an
opportunity for that premium to be paid within the notice period;
	 
	 	(c)	 	of any act or omission or of any event of which the Insurer has knowledge and
which the Insurer considers may invalidate or render unenforceable in whole or in part
this insurance or any claim under it or which might entitle the Insurer to terminate,
rescind or repudiate this policy in whole or part, or treat it as avoided, terminated
or suspended, against any insured party; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	if they have not agreed to renew this Insurance at its next expiry date.

	11	 	Service of notices
	 
	 	 	All notices or other communications under or in connection with this policy will be given
in writing or by fax. Any such notice will be deemed to be given as follows:

	 	(a)	 	if in writing, when delivered;
	 
	 	(b)	 	if by fax, on the date on which it is transmitted but only if (i) immediately
after the transmission, the sender’s fax machine records the correct answerback (ii)
the transmission date is a normal business day in the country of the recipient at the
time of transmission and is recorded as received before 5.00 p.m. on that date in the
recipient’s time zone, failing which it shall be deemed to be given on the next normal
business day in the recipient’s country.

insurance, operation and maintenance of a 48 MW geothermal power plant operated by the
Company in Kenya and construction of all associated transmission and substation facilities
and all ancillary works on or off the site.
	 
	2	 	Acknowledgement of assignments
	 
	 	 	The Reinsurers acknowledge that they have been notified that (a) the Insurer has assigned
to the Company absolutely the benefit of this reinsurance and its interest and rights in
its subject matter (pursuant to a Reinsurance Assignment

204

 

	 	 	Agreement), and confirm that the
Reinsurers have not been notified of any other assignment or pledge of or security interest
in the Insurer’s interest in this
reinsurance; and that (b) the Company has assigned by way of first ranking security to the
Onshore Security Agent (as agent for the Finance Parties) all its rights title and interest
in the underlying Insurances reinsured hereby as well as the benefit of any Reinsurance
Assignment Agreement.
	 
	3	 	Reinsurance premiums
	 
	 	 	The Insurer confirms that it has given irrevocable authority to the Company’s insurance
broker, as agent of the Insurer, to pay reinsurance premiums direct to the Reinsurers. The
Insurer acknowledges that this arrangement does not relieve it of liability for unpaid
reinsurance premium. A payment of reinsurance premium in accordance with this arrangement
shall, to the extent of its payment to the Reinsurers, discharge (a) the liability of the
Company to pay premium to the insurers and (b) the liability of the Insurers to pay premium
to the Reinsurers.
	 
	4	 	Scope of disclosure
	 
	 	 	The Reinsurers acknowledge for the benefit of the Insurer and the Insureds that there is no
information which has been relied on or is required by Reinsurers in respect of their
decision to reinsure in respect of the Insureds or their directors, officers, employees or
agents.
	 
	5	 	Non-disclosure, misrepresentation and breach
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this policy, the Reinsurers agree for the benefit
of the Insurer and the Insureds:

	 	(a)	 	that no Insured or agent for the Insured owes any duty to disclose any
information to the Reinsurers; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	not to reduce or amend the sums insured and/or the risks covered or increase
the Insurer’s retention under this policy or any renewal of it by that Reinsurer
without 45 days’ prior written notice to the Onshore Security Agent.

	6	 	Reinsurance Claims Handling
	 
	 	 	The Insurer shall promptly notify to the lead Reinsurer (on behalf of all Reinsurers) all
information of an event or circumstances which may give rise to a claim under this
reinsurance policy (though bona fide late notification shall not prejudice the Insurer’s
rights hereunder). The lead Reinsurer shall have the authority on behalf of both the
Insurer and all Reinsurers to investigate adjust and agree any claim by an Insured against
the Insurer and which may give rise to a claim hereunder. In the event that the lead
Reinsurer agrees that any reinsured

205

 

	 	 	claim by the Company or the Onshore Security Agent
(acting on behalf of the Finance Parties) should be settled or compromised, then that
determination shall be binding on the Insurer; and shall likewise bind the Reinsurers to
settle the Insurer’s reinsurance claim in accordance with the loss payment provisions of
this
policy. This Clause 6 (Reinsurance Claims Handling) shall be in accordance with the
provisions of the claims control clause within the Reinsurance policy and in the event of
any inconsistency the claims control clause shall prevail.
	 
	7	 	Currency
	 
	 	 	Any loss hereunder shall be settled and accounted for by the Reinsurers (pro rata to their
respective shares, and taking account of the proportion of the underlying risk of the
Insurer reinsured hereunder) in the same currency as the currency in which the loss has
been properly claimed by an Insured, and applying the same exchange rate as was applied in
calculating the Insurer’s liability to the Insured where the Insured’s loss has been
converted into a different currency for the purpose of the claim against the Insurer.
	 
	8	 	Timing of claim payment obligation
	 
	 	 	The Reinsurers’ obligation to pay under this reinsurance and in accordance with the loss
payment provisions of this policy arises when the ceding Insurer’s reinsured liability
becomes payable (whether by agreement or compromise by the Insurer of a claim, court order
or arbitral award) and is not dependant on the Insurer having actually paid a claim or
settled a liability to the Company or the Onshore Security Agent (acting on behalf of the
Finance Parties).
	 
	9	 	Loss Payments
	 
	 	 	The Insurer irrevocably authorises and instructs the Reinsurer to pay, and the Reinsurer
agrees to pay, all claims, return premiums, ex gratia settlements and any other monies
payable under or in relation to this contract to the account of the company to the Offshore
Insurance Proceeds Account or to such other account as the Onshore Security Agent as loss
payee may specify in writing, and that no instruction, whether by the Insurer or by any
person other than the Onshore Security Agent, to make any payment to any other person or
account shall be honoured by the Reinsurer unless given or countersigned by the Onshore
Security Agent, or such other person as the Onshore Security Agent may notify to the
Reinsurer in writing. All such payments shall be made by the Reinsurer without any
deduction or set-off on any account or of any kind except deductions for any unpaid
premiums. A payment to the loss payee in accordance with this provision shall, to the
extent of that payment, discharge (a) the liability of the Reinsurer to pay the Insurer,
and (b) the liability of the Insurer to the Insureds under the underlying insurance
contract reinsured hereby. The arrangements in this clause

206

 

	 	 	shall continue to apply
notwithstanding the liquidation or insolvency of the Insurer or the Reinsurer or the
Company.
	 
	10	 	Waiver of subrogation
	 
	 	 	The Reinsurers hereby waive all rights of action that they may have or acquire by way of
subrogation or otherwise howsoever (a) against any of the Insureds or their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents or (b) involving the
exercise of rights or powers vested in any Insureds (acting in any capacity) under or by
virtue of any agreement relating to the Project.
	 
	11	 	Underlying Insureds not liable for reinsurance premiums
	 
	 	 	The Reinsurers acknowledge that none of the Insureds is liable for payment of any premium
payable in respect of this reinsurance.
	 
	12	 	Offset
	 
	 	 	No Reinsurer shall be entitled to offset any sums payable to it by the Insurer or any
Insured on any account whatsoever (other than premium outstanding from the Insurer in
respect of this contract of reinsurance) against any amount payable by that Reinsurer under
this reinsurance.
	 
	13	 	Notices by Reinsurers
	 
	 	 	Reinsurers shall give to the Onshore Security Agent at least 45 days notice in writing:

	 	(a)	 	of any act or omission or of any event of which the Reinsurer has knowledge
and which the Reinsurer considers would invalidate or render unenforceable in whole or
in part this reinsurance or any claim under it or which might entitle the Reinsurer to
terminate, rescind, repudiate or avoid this policy, or to treat it as terminated, or
to exclude or decline any claim under it, in whole or part for any reason;
	 
	 	(b)	 	if they have not agreed to renew this Reinsurance policy at its next expiry

SCHEDULE 14

HIV Protective Measures

(Adopted from ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work — Key principles)

The following principles are part of the International Labor Organization’s Code of Practice on
HIV/AIDS and the World of Work. The code is voluntary and meant for use by the private sector in
the development of workplace policies and guidelines.

HIV/AIDS is a workplace issue, not only because it affects the workforce, but also because the
workplace can play a vital role in limiting the spread and effects of the epidemic.

Non-Discrimination — There should be no discrimination or stigmatization against workers on the
basis of real or perceived HIV status.

Gender equality — More equal gender relations and the empowerment of women are vital to preventing
the spread of HIV infection and enabling women to cope with HIV/AIDS.

Healthy work Environment — The work environment should be healthy and safe, and adapted to the
state of health and capabilities of workers.

Social Dialogue — A successful HIV/AIDS policy and program requires cooperation, trust and dialogue
between employers, workers, and governments.

Screening for purposes of employment — HIV/AIDS screening should not be required of job applicants
or persons in employment, and testing for HIV should not be carried out at the workplace except as
specified in this code.

Confidentiality — Access to personal data relating to a worker’s HIV status should be bound by the
rules of confidentiality consistent with existing ILO codes of practice.

Continuing the employment relationship — HIV infection is not a cause for termination of
employment. Persons with HIV-related illnesses should be able to work for as long as medically fit
in appropriate conditions.

Prevention — The social partners are in a unique position to promote prevention efforts through
information and education; and support changes in attitudes and behaviour.

Care and Support — Solidarity, care and support should guide the response to AIDS in the workplace.
All workers are entitled to affordable health services and to benefits from statutory and
occupational schemes.

Part 2

Form of Audited Financial Statements for Kenyan Branch

REPORT
OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE DIRECTORS OF ORPOWER 4 INCORPORATED IN RESPECT OF THE
KENYA BRANCH

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch
set out on pages 3 to 16. These financial statements comprise the balance sheet at 31 December
2006, and the profit and loss account, statement of changes in head office account and cash flow
statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory notes.

Managements’ responsibility for the financial statements

Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility
includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making
accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an independent opinion on the financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform our audit to
obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
branch’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of
the branch’s financial affairs at 31 December 2006 and of its profit and cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Notes

	1	 	General information
	 
	 	 	Orpower 4 Incorporated (Kenya) Branch is a branch of Orpower 4 Inc., incorporated in Cayman
Islands under the Companies Act as a private limited liability company, and is domiciled in
Kenya. The address of its registered office is:
	 
	 	 	P.O Box 1566, Code 20177
NAIVASHA.
	 
	 	 	The principal activity of the branch is electricity generation and sale from geothermal power,
	 
	2	 	Summary of significant accounting policies
	 
	 	 	The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented,
unless otherwise stated.
	 
	(a)	 	Basis of preparation
	 
	 	 	The financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). The measurement basis applied is the historical cost basis, except where
otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The financial statements are presented in US
dollars ($).
	 
	 	 	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates
and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the branch’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are
disclosed in Note 4.
	 
	 	 	Adoption of new and revised standards
	 
	 	 	In 2006 new and revised standards and interpretations became effective for the first time and
have been adopted by the branch where relevant to its operations. The adoption of these new and
revised standards and interpretations had no material effect on the Branch’s accounting policies
or disclosures.
	 
	 	 	The following amendment to an existing standard and new standard will be mandatory for the
Branch’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, but which the Branch has not
early adopted:
	 
		 	— IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. IFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the
information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and
quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including
specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including
sensitivity analysis to market risk.

Notes (continued)

	(b)	 	Revenue recognition
	 
	 	 	Sales are recognised upon supply of electricity and are stated net of Value Added Tax (VAT).
	 
	 	 	Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest
method.
	 
	(c)	 	Translation of foreign currencies
	 
	 	 	Transactions are recorded on initial recognition in United States dollars, being the functional
currency. Transactions in other currencies are converted into United States dollars using the
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange
rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies are recognised in the
profit and loss account.
	 
	(d)	 	Property, plant and equipment
	 
	 	 	All categories of property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation.
	 
	 	 	Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the branch and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to the profit and loss account during the financial period in which they
are incurred.
	 
	 	 	Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write down their cost to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

	 	 	 
	Buildings

	 	23 years
	Plant and machinery

	 	23 years
	Motor vehicles

	 	6.7 years
	Equipment

	 	4.3 years

	 	 	The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance sheet date.
	 
	 	 	Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

	(f)	 	Inventories
	 
	 	 	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
	 
	(g)	 	Receivables
	 
	 	 	Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. A provision for impairment of receivables is established
when there is objective evidence that the branch will not be able to
collect all the amounts
due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the
difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected cash flows, discounted
at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the profit and
loss account.
	 
	(h)	 	Cash and cash equivalents
	 
	 	 	Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short
term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
	 
	(i)	 	Employee benefits

	 	(i)	 	Retirement benefit obligations

	 	 	The branch operates a defined contribution retirement benefit
scheme for its pensionable
employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the branch pays fixed
contributions into a separate entity. The branch has no legal or constructive obligations to pay
further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the
benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
	 
	 	 	The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded
by contributions from both the branch and employees. The branch and all its employees also
contribute to the National Social Security Fund, which is a defined contribution scheme.
	 
	 	 	The branch’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to the profit and
loss account in the year to which they relate.

	 	(ii)	 	Other entitlements

	 	 	The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the balance
sheet date is recognised as an expense accrual.

	(J)	 	Income tax
	 
	 	 	Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to the profit and loss account in respect
of current income tax and deferred income tax.
	 
	 	 	Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year
determined in accordance with the Kenyan Income Tax Act.

	(j)	 	Income tax (continued)
	 
	 	 	Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on all temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values
for financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income tax arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at
the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not
accounted for.

	 
	 	 	Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax liability is settled.
	 
	 	 	Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilised.
	 
	3	 	Financial risk management objectives and policies
	 
	 	 	The branch’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and the
effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The branch’s overall
risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance, but the branch does not hedge
any risks.
	 
	4	 	Critical accounting estimates and judgements
	 
	 	 	Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and
other factors, including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
	 
	 	 	(i) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
	 
	 	 	Property, plant and equipment
	 
	 	 	Critical estimates are made by the directors in determining depreciation rates for
property, plant and equipment. The rates used are set out in Note 2(d) above.
	 
	 	 	(ii) Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies
	 
	 	 	In the process of applying the branch’s accounting policies, management has made judgments
in determining whether the assets are impaired.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholder’s of

Orpower 4, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Orpower 4, Inc. (the
“Company”) as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the related
statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and
cash flow for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s board of
directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Company’s board of directors and
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of its
operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flow for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, in accordance with

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

OrPower4, Inc. (the “Company”) incorporated in Cayman Islands under the Companies Act as a private
limited liability company, and is domiciled in Kenya.

The principal activity of the Company is generation and sale of electricity from geothermal power
plants.

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and include the accounts of the Company and its Kenyan branch. The measurement basis applied
is the historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated in the accounting policies below. The
financial statements are presented in US dollars (dollars or $).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgement or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial
statements, are disclosed in Note 2.

Foreign currency translation

	1	 	Functional and presentation currency -
	 
	 	 	Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured
using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the
functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.
	 
	2	 	Transactions and balances -
	 
	 	 	Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, while
non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense items are
translated at the average exchange rate for the year, except for depreciation, which is
translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments and transactions gains or losses
are included in results of operations.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are capitalized and repairs
and maintenance costs are expensed

256

 

The cost and accumulated depreciation of items sold or retired are removed from the accounts. Any
resulting gain or loss is recognized currently and is recognized in operating income.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write down cost of each asset to its
residual value over its estimated useful life, as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Buildings
	 	23 years
	Plant and machinery
	 	23 years
	Motor vehicles
	 	6.7 years
	Equipment
	 	4.3 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
balance sheet date.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their
carrying amounts and are taken into account in determining operating income.

Financial assets

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets in receivables and prepayments in
the balance sheet.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that the
financial asset is impaired

Receivables

Receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when
there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect

255

 

all the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is
the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of expected cash flows, discounted
at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognized in income.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or
less, to be cash equivalents.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to income in respect of current income taxes and
deferred income taxes.

Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable income for the period
determined in accordance with the Kenyan Income Tax Act.

Deferred income taxes are provided in full, using the liability method, on all temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for
financial reporting purposes. However, if the deferred income taxes arise from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the
time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss, they are not
accounted for.

Deferred income taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred
income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Employee benefits

	1.	 	Retirement benefit obligations
	 
	 	 	The Company operates a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme for its pensionable
employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed
contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations
to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all
employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
	 
	 	 	The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded
by contributions from both the Company and employees.
	 
	 	 	The Company and all its employees also contribute to the National Social Security Fund,
which is a defined contribution scheme.

258

 

	 	 	The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to income in
the period to which they relate.
	 
	2.	 	Other entitlements
	 
	 	 	The estimated monetary liability for employees’ accrued annual leave entitlement at the
balance sheet date is recognized as an expense accrual.
	 
	 	 	Revenues and cost of revenues
	 
	 	 	Revenues related to the sale of electricity from geothermal power plants and capacity
payments are recorded based upon supply of electricity and are stated net of Value Added
Tax (“VAT”).
	 
	 	 	Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest
method.
	 
	 	 	Accounting for leases
	 
	 	 	Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by
the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are
charged to income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
	 
	 	 	Recently issued accounting pronouncements:
	 
	1.	 	Standards and interpretations that became effective in the year ended December 31, 2007:
	 
	 	 	In the year ended December 31, 2007, the following new and revised standards and
interpretations to published standards became effective for the first time and have been
adopted by the Company where relevant to its operations. The comparative figures have been
restated as required.

	 	(a)	 	IAS No. 1 Amendment, “Capital Disclosures”
	 
	 	 	 	The amendment to IAS No. 1 introduces disclosures about the level of the Company’s
capital and how to manage capital.
	 
	 	(b)	 	IFRS No. 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”
	 
	 	 	 	IFRS No. 7 introduces new disclosures relating to financial instruments. This
standard did not have any impact on the classification or measurement of the
Company’s financial instruments.

	2.	 	Standards and interpretations to existing standards that became effective in the year ended
December 31, 2007, but not relevant to the Company:
	 
	 	 	IFRS No. 4, “Insurance Contracts”;

259

 

	 	 	IFRIC No. 7, “Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29, Financial Reporting in
Hyper-inflationary Economies”;
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 8, “Scope of IFRS 2”; and
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 9, “Re-assessment of Embedded Derivatives”.
	 
	3.	 	An interpretation to existing standard that became effective in the six month period ended
June 30, 2008:
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 14 to IAS No. 19, “The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding
Requirements and their Interaction”
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 14 provides guidance on assessing the limit in IAS No. 19 on the amount of the
surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the pension asset or
liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. The
adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the financial statements
of the Company.
	 
	4.	 	Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective
and have not been early adopted by the Company:

	 	(a)	 	IAS No. 23 (Revised), “Borrowing Costs” (“IAS No. 23R”) (effective for
periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)
	 
	 	 	 	IAS No. 23R requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable
to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the
cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs has
been removed. The Company did not use the above option and therefore the
application of IAS No. 23R from January 1, 2009 is not expected to have an effect
on its financial statements.
	 
	 	(b)	 	IFRS No. 3 (Revised), “Business Combinations” (“ IFRS No. 3R”) (effective for
periods commencing July 1, 2009 or thereafter)
	 
	 	 	 	IFRS No. 3R outlines principles and requirements essentially describing how the
purchaser has to: (i) recognize and measure in its financial statements the
identified assets purchased under a business combination, the liabilities it has
undertaken, and the minority interest in the purchased entity; (ii) recognize and
measure the acquired goodwill in a business combination or the gain arising from
the purchase transaction; and (iii) determine what information has to be disclosed
in the financial statements to allow an evaluation of the nature of the business
combination and its financial impact. Management is currently assessing the
possible impact of applying IFRS No. 3R on the Company’s financial statements in
the coming periods.

260

 

	 	(c)	 	IAS No. 1 (Revised), “Presentation of Financial Statements” “ IAS No. 1R”)
(effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)
	 
	 	 	 	IAS No. 1R outlines overall requirements for financial statement presentation,
guidelines for financial statement structure and minimum requirements as to the
content of financial statements. IAS No. 1R requires, among other things, that any
change in equity, arising from transactions with shareholders, in their capacity as
owners, should be presented in the statements of changes in equity separately from
changes not stemming from such transactions.
	 
	 	(d)	 	IFRIC No. 15 (Revised), “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate”
(effective for periods commencing January 1, 2009 or thereafter)
	 
	 	 	 	IFRIC No. 15 outlines guidelines for determining when IAS 11, “Construction
Contracts” should be applied to the construction and sale of real estate, and when,
IAS 18, “Revenue” from the contractor’s point of view, a determination that depends
on the specific circumstances and requires the application of judgement. It also
explains when revenue from the construction of real estate should be recognized in
accordance with each of the two applicable standards (IAS 11 and IAS 18). The
Group will apply IFRIC No. 15 as from January 1, 2009, and does not expect that
such application will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
	 
	 	(e)	 	IFRIC No. 16, “Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective
for periods commencing October 1, 2008 or thereafter)
	 
	 	 	 	IFRIC No. 16 provides guidelines on several issues, including:

	 	(1)	 	Hedge accounting in respect of a net investment in a foreign
operation may not be applied to foreign exchange differences resulting from
the difference in presentation currency, but only to foreign exchange
differences arising from a difference between the parent entity’s functional
currency and that of its foreign operation.
	 
	 	(2)	 	In the event of a group of companies, IFRIC No. 16 concludes
that the hedging instrument may be held by any entity within the group
(provided it meets the criteria of IAS No.39, “Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement”).
	 
	 	(3)	 	In the event of disposal of the foreign operation, the amount
to be reclassified from equity to the statement of operations will be the
cumulative profit or loss on the hedge relating to the effective portion
recognized directly in equity.

	 	 	 	The Company will apply IFRIC No.16 as from January 1, 2009, and does not expect
that such application will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

261

 

	5.	 	Standards and interpretations to existing standards that became effective in the six month
period ended June 30, 2008 but not relevant to the Company:
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 11, “Group and Treasury Share Transactions”; and
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 12, “Service Concession Arrangements”.
	 
	6.	 	Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards not yet effective in and not
relevant to the Company:
	 
	 	 	IAS No. 27 (Revised), “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (“IAS No. 27R”)
	 
	 	 	IFRS No. 8, “Operating Segments”; and
	 
	 	 	IFRIC No. 13, “Customer Loyalty Programs”.

NOTE 2 — CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.

	 	(a)	 	Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
	 
	 	 	 	Property, plant and equipment
	 
	 	 	 	Critical estimates are made by management in determining depreciation rates for
property, plant and equipment. The rates used are set out in Note 1 above.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
	 
	 	 	 	In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made
judgements in determining whether the assets are impaired.
	 
	 	 	 	Income taxes
	 
	 	 	 	Significant judgement is required in determining the Company’s provision for income
taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company
recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of
whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters
is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will
impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made.

262

 

NOTE 3 — FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

	 	 	The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk
and the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The
Company’s overall risk management programmed focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance, but
the Company does not hedge any risks.
	 
	 	 	Credit Risk
	 
	 	 	Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables. The Company has only one customer,
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. (“KPLC”). The Company credit controller assesses the
credit quality of KPLC, taking into account the Power Purchase Agreement, past experience
and other factors. There are no credit limits but credit terms are in accordance with
limits set by the power purchase agreement (“PPA”).
	 
	 	 	The amount that best represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	June 30,	 	December 31,
	 	 	2008	 	2007
	 	 	(in U.S. dollars)
	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Cash and cash equivalents
	 	$	1,564,020	 	 	$	143,908	 
	Trade receivables
	 	 	2,235,518	 	 	 	1,552,771	 
	VAT receivable
	 	 	1,260,144	 	 	 	455,644	 
	Other receivables
	 	 	14,127	 	 	 	11,515	 
	 	 	 
	 
	 	$	5,073,809	 	 	$	2,163,838	 
	 	 	 

	 	 	No collateral is held for any of the above assets. All receivables that are neither past
due or impaired are within their approved credit limits, and no receivables have had their
terms renegotiated.
	 
	 	 	None of the above assets are past due or impaired except for the following amounts in trade
receivables (which are due within 30 days of the end of the month in which they are
invoiced):

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	June 30,	 	December 31,
	 	 	2008	 	2007
	 	 	(in U.S. dollars)
	 	 	 
	Past due, but not impaired
	 	$	1,114,756	 	 	$	698,662	 
	 	 	 

263

 

Market Risks

	1.	 	Foreign exchange risk
	 
	 	 	The Company transactions are primarily in dollars, the functional currency. Foreign
exchange risk is therefore restricted to transactions and balances in Kenya Shillings.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and
liabilities.
	 
	 	 	At June 30, 2008, if the Kenya Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the dollar
with all other variables held constant, the net income for the year would have been $14,590
lower/higher), mainly as a result of Kenya Shilling bank balances and trade payables.
	 
	 	 	At December 31, 2007 if the Kenya Shilling had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the
dollar with all other variables held constant, the net income for the year would have been:
$8,068 higher/lower), mainly as a result of Kenya Shilling bank balances and trade
payables.
	 
	2.	 	Interest rate risk
	 
	 	 	The Company’s only interest bearing assets are its cash deposits, all of which are at
variable rate. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, an increase/decrease of about 50
basis points would have resulted in an increase/decrease in net income of $48 and $4,645,
respectively.
	 
	3.	 	Liquidity risk
	 
	 	 	Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash.
	 
	 	 	Management monitors rolling forecast of the Company’s liquidity reserve on the basis of
expected cash flow and budget control.
	 
	 	 	The table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities that will be settled in net
basis relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date
to the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their
carrying balances, as impact of discounting is not significant.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Between 1 and	 
	 	 	1 and 3 Months	 
	 	 	(in U.S. dollars)	 
	At June 30, 2008: —	 	 	 	 
	— trade and other payables	 	£	3,498,531

	 	 	Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December
31, 2007 amounted to $921,327 and $1,860,281, respectively.
	 
	 	 	Pursuant to a 20-year PPA with KPLC, the Kenyan parastatal electricity transmission and
distribution company, the Company agreed to design, construct and operate geothermal power
plants in Kenya in several phases.

NOTE 7 — CONSTRUCTION-IN-PROCESS

	 	 	The Company has incurred $84,801,016 and $68,155,262 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, respectively, in connection with the construction of Phase II of the Olkaria III
project. Pursuant to the amended and restated PPA, the parties agreed to shorten the
construction period for Phase II to approximately twenty-one months commencing on February
7, 2007 and to reduce the tariff payable by KPLC on the total capacity of the plant upon
completion of Phase II. Management believes that the project will be completed in the
required timeframe. If the Company does not complete the construction of Phase II by the
required date, the Company may lose some or all of its investment in the
construction-in-process relating to Phase II.

NOTE 8 — ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 9 — POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

	 	 	The Olkaria III project is located in Naivasha, Kenya. The Olkaria III project is currently
comprised of one plant, which commenced commercial operation in August 2000, and a
geothermal field. The plant currently has a generating capacity of approximately 13 MW
(Phase I) .The Company is working on the construction of Phase II of this project which it
expects, upon completion, will increase the generating capacity of the Olkaria III project
to approximately 48 MW. Phase I of the Olkaria III project utilizes a binary system. In
November

266

 

	 	 	1998, following an international tender, the Company entered into a PPA with KPLC, which
was recently amended and restated in January 2007. The PPA for the project will expire 20
years from the completion of Phase II, which is expected to be completed by the end of
2008.The Company leases the site on which the geothermal resources and the plant facilities
are located from the Kenyan government, pursuant to an agreement which will expire in 2040.
The Kenyan government granted the company a license giving it exclusive rights of use and
possession of the relevant geothermal resources for an initial period of 30 years, expiring
in 2029, which initial period may be extended by the Company for two additional five-year
terms. The Kenyan Minister of Energy has the right to terminate or revoke the license in
the event the Company ceases work in or under the license area during a period of six
months, or has failed to comply with the terms of the license or the provisions of the law
relating to geothermal resources. The Company is obligated to pay the Kenyan government
monthly fees and royalties based on the amount of power supplied to KPLC.
	 
	 	 	On January 19, 2007, the company entered into an Amended and Restated PPA and a Project
Security Agreement with KPLC with respect to Phase II of the Olkaria III project. These
agreements were executed after the receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals from the
Kenyan authorities. The construction of the second phase of the project is expected, upon
completion, to add approximately 35 MW to the existing facility, bringing the project’s
total capacity to approximately 48 MW. Following completion of Phase II, total anticipated
annual revenues from the project will be approximately $32 million. Under the Project
Security Agreement, KPLC provided a letter of credit in an amount equal to the value of
four months of anticipated revenues from the project under the Amended and Restated PPA
(currently valued at approximately $8 million).

NOTE 12 — CONTINGENCIES

	 	 	As of June 30, 2008 the Company is negotiating for a waiver of interest and penalties
following a withholding tax assessment from the Kenya Revenue Authority estimated at
$111,140. It is not anticipated that any material liability will arise from this
assessment.
	 
	 	 	At December 31, 2007 the Company has disputed a withholding tax assessment amounting to Shs
22.3 million. It is not anticipated that any material liability will arise from this
assessment.
	 
	 	 	It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the expected outcome of these matters,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company.

SCHEDULE 21

Calculation of the Mandatory Cost

	1	 	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of
compliance with:

	 	(a)	 	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services
Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its
functions); or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the requirements of the European Central Bank.

	2	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Global Agent
shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in
accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the
Global Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in
proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be
expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
	 
	3	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating
Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Global Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Global Agent to be its
reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation
in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve
requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
	 
	4	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Global Agent as follows:

	 	 	 
	E x 0.01 
300

	 	per cent. per annum.

	 	 	Where:
	 
	 	 	E: is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is
calculated by the Global Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge
supplied by the Reference Banks to the Global Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and
expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.
	 
	5	 	For the purposes of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA
Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force

278

 

	 	 	 	from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the
activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount
rate); and
	 
	 	(c)	 	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules.

	6	 	If requested by the Global Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after
publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Global Agent, the rate of
charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees
Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority
(calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs
applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per
£1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
	 
	7	 	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Global Agent for the purpose of
calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender
shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	 	(a)	 	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other information that the Global Agent may reasonably require for such
purpose.

	 	 	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Global Agent of any change to the information
provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
	 
	8	 	The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by
the Global Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7
above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Global Agent to the contrary,
each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same
as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in
the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
	 
	9	 	The Global Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an
Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to
assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3,
6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

279

 

	10	 	The Global Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the
Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based
on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7
and 8 above.
	 
	11	 	Any determination by the Global Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the
Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
	 
	12	 	The Global Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders,
determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this
Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time
to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions)
and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on all Parties.

	26	 	ENFORCEMENT
	 
	26.1	 	Jurisdiction

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in any of the Security Documents and subject to
the Company’s right to propose arbitration pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Arbitration) and
the Lenders’ option to agree to such proposal, or to initiate arbitration pursuant to
Clause 26.2 (Arbitration), the Parties agree that the courts of England shall have
exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising out of or in connection with the
Finance Documents (including a dispute regarding the existence, breach, validity or
termination of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents) (a “Dispute”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Parties agree that English law shall govern the determination of any
Dispute regardless of the jurisdiction in which the Dispute is heard.

	26.2	 	Arbitration

	 	(a)	 	Prior to the commencement of any legal proceedings by the Company (other than
Interim Proceedings) in the courts of England in respect of a Dispute the Company
shall give prior notice to the Lenders, and the Lenders acting unanimously shall
indicate to the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice
from the Company, whether that Dispute shall instead be resolved by arbitration
pursuant to this Clause 26.2 (Arbitration), provided that this Clause 26.2
(Arbitration) shall not prejudice the right of the Lenders to commence arbitration in
respect of a Dispute by giving prior notice to the Company. If the Lenders notify the
Company that the Dispute is to be resolved by arbitration, to which the Company shall
not object, the following provisions shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company shall not be required to give notice pursuant to this Clause prior to the
commencement of Interim Proceedings.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any arbitration commenced in respect of a Dispute shall be resolved in
accordance with the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law
(“UNCITRAL”), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause
save as modified by this Agreement. In any such arbitration:

	 	(i)	 	the appointing authority shall be the London Court of
International Arbitration (the “LCIA”);

-12-

 

	 	(ii)	 	the language to be used in the arbitration shall be English;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the place and seat of the arbitration shall be London,
England; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	the number of arbitrators shall be three. For the purpose of
Article 7 of the UNCITRAL Rules, where there are multiple parties, whether as
claimant or as respondent, the claimants shall act and be treated, jointly, as
‘a party’ and the respondents shall act and be treated, jointly, as ‘a party’.

	 	(c)	 	In any arbitration commenced pursuant to this Clause 26.2 (Arbitration):

	 	(i)	 	the Parties hereby waive any rights under the Arbitration Act
1996 (UK) to seek determination of a preliminary point of law by the courts of
England; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to the terms of any arbitration agreement agreed
between the Parties and the provisions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, the
Company shall be entitled to seek only from the Arbitral Tribunal, but not
from any judicial authority, any interim measures of protection or pre-award
relief (other than any relief sought through Interim Proceedings) against any
of the Finance Parties. Until the Arbitral Tribunal has been constituted, the
Company shall be entitled to institute Interim Proceedings in the courts of
England.

	 	(d)	 	In any arbitral proceeding, the certificate of a Finance Party as to any
amount due to that Finance Party under any Finance Document shall be prima facie
evidence of such amount.

	26.3	 	Service of Process
	 
	 	 	Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Company:

	 	(a)	 	irrevocably appoints Chadbourne & Parke MNP of Regis House, 45 King William
Street, London, EC4R 9AN, United Kingdom, as its agent for service of process in
relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance
Document;
	 
	 	(b)	 	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Company of the process
will not invalidate the proceedings concerned;
	 
	 	(c)	 	undertakes that as long as any of the Finance Documents remains in force, the
Company shall maintain a duly appointed and authorised agent to receive for and on its
behalf service of the writ of summons or other legal process in any action, suit or
proceeding brought by any Finance Party in the courts of England with respect to each
of the Finance Documents and

-13-

 

	 	 	 	shall keep the Global Agent advised of the identity and location of such agent; and

	 	(d)	 	irrevocably consents, if for any reason the Company’s authorized agent for
service of process of summons, complaint and other legal process in any action, suit
or proceeding is not present in England, to service of such papers being made out of
those courts by mailing copies of the papers by registered air mail, postage prepaid,
to the Company at its address specified pursuant to Clause 20 (Notices). In such a
case, any Finance Party shall also send by facsimile, or have sent by facsimile, a
copy of the papers to the Company.

	26.4	 	Waiver

	 	(a)	 	To the extent that the Company may be entitled in any jurisdiction to claim
for itself or its assets immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement
or any other Finance Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether
provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other
legal process or to the extent that in any jurisdiction that immunity (whether or not
claimed), may be attributed to it or its assets, the Company irrevocably agrees not to
claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent now or in the future
permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.
	 
	 	(b)	 	To the extent that the Company may, in any suit, action or proceeding brought
in any of the courts referred to in Clause 26.1 (Jurisdiction) or a court of Kenya,
Cayman Islands or elsewhere arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Finance Document to which the Company is a party, be entitled to the benefit of
any provision of law requiring any Finance Party in such suit, action or proceeding to
post security for the costs of the Company, or to post a bond or to take similar
action, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such benefit, in each case to the
fullest extent now or in the future permitted under the laws of England, Cayman
Islands or Kenya or, as the case may be, the jurisdiction in which such court is
located.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Party waives any right it may have to a jury trial of any claim or cause
of action in connection with any Finance Documents or any transaction contemplated by
any Finance Document. This Agreement may be filed as a written consent to trial by
court.

	26.5	 	Consolidation of Arbitral Proceedings
	 
	 	 	The arbitral tribunal constituted pursuant to Clause 26.2 (Arbitration) may consolidate an
arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement with any arbitration arising out
of or relating to one or more Finance Documents that provides for arbitration by the London
Court of International Arbitration, if the

-14-

 

	 	 	subject matter of the disputes arises out of or relates to essentially the same facts or
transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitral tribunal
appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time. Except as
otherwise provided in this Clause 26.5 (Consolidation of Arbitral Proceedings), the rights
of the Parties to proceed with dispute resolution hereunder shall be independent of their
rights to proceed with dispute resolution under any of the other Finance Documents.

THIS AGREEMENT has been entered into by the Parties on the date stated at the beginning of this
Agreement.
