10 Confidential10 Type of insurance products used in project financing In project finance we use various insurance products to mitigate the risks For credit risk: partial credit guarantees (not usual) For political risk : partial risk guarantees that cover the commitment from the governments and the borrower During the construction and operation, we need policies to cover the following risks: o Insurance during transportation o Insurance of project assets (equipment and machinery) o Construction all ‑ risk o Delay in startup o Operational damage (all risk during operations), business interruption o Third party liability insurance o Directors' and officers' liability insurance o Terrorism cover

11 Confidential11 Process for placing insurance The lenders select a broker (i) for insurance due diligence and (ii) the placement of the insurance program when the project legal documentation is advanced Generally the usual suspects (marsh, willis / gras savoye, aon, JLT, Charles Taylor, Indecs, etc.) The insurance advisor will review all types of risk during construction and operations, determine which ones can be insured, and make proposals for placement Given the limited cost of insurance (with respect to overall project costs) and the competitveness of the insurance underwriting market, the lenders and sponsor generally easily agree on the exact insurance programme The conditions are: financially solid insurance company with a good rating, good scope (risks covered, exclusions, amount of cover and deductibles) From time to time the lenders do a supervision to make sure the insurance guarantees are in place and no deterioration of the rating
