If for any reason Issuer shall be required by any Governmental Authority to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) Note Holder, Agent or Transferee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Issuer shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) Issuer shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

In addition, Issuer shall pay any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, Other Taxes) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and, if the liability for any Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, Other Taxes) is imposed on Note Holder, Issuer shall pay such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority on behalf of and in the name of Note Holder.

To the extent practical, Note Holder shall provide notice to Issuer of its intent to make any such payment at least ten (10) days prior to making any such payment. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Issuer by Note Holder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

In the event any amounts in respect of which Issuer makes a payment under this Section 3.5 are refunded to Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable), Note Holder shall refund such amounts to Issuer, less any reasonable costs incurred by Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable) to recover such amounts and in the administration thereof; provided that Issuer, upon the request of Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable), agrees to repay the amount paid over to Issuer (plus any penalties, interest and other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable) in the event Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.5D shall not be construed to require Note Holder (or Transferee, as applicable) to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Issuer or any other person.

E. In the event any Indemnified Taxes would be due hereunder, Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts to fund or maintain the Note through another funding office of Note Holder (including, making a request to any participant in a Note to make reasonable efforts to be bound by the same terms), if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause the requirement to pay Indemnified Taxes cease to exist or would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by Note Holder in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Note Holder in any respect (or in Transferee’s sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Transferee); provided that Note Holder will not be obligated to utilize such other funding office pursuant to this Section 3.5E unless Issuer agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by Note Holder and Transferee as a result of utilizing such other funding office as described above.

3.6 General Provisions Regarding Payment.

If more than one Note is outstanding, any payment on the Notes shall be applied to each Note in the proportion that its principal amount outstanding bears to the aggregate of the principal amounts outstanding of all the Notes.

All payments of principal and interest and other amounts due hereunder and under the Notes shall be in same day funds and delivered to Note Holder not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) (New York time) on the date due (without setoff or counterclaim) in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds through wire transfer to the account of Note Holder as set forth on Schedule 3.6 opposite the name of Note Holder or at such other place in the United States as shall be designated in writing by Note Holder to Issuer (such payment instructions the “Note Holder Payment Instructions”).

To the extent that Issuer or Parent makes a payment or payments to Note Holder (or to any Agent for the benefit of Note Holder), or Note Holder or Agent enforces any security interests or exercises their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy Law, any other state or federal Law, common Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.14 Set-Off

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Note Holder is hereby authorized by Issuer at any time or from time to time, without notice to Issuer or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Note Holder to or for the credit or the account of Issuer against and on account of the obligations and

liabilities of Issuer to that Note Holder under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Note Holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Notes or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

ISSUER AND NOTE HOLDERS HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common Law and statutory claims. Issuer acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement for Note Holder to enter into a business relationship with Issuer, and Note Holder has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that Note Holder will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. Issuer and Note Holder further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

9.18 This Agreement Controls

In the event any provision of this Agreement and any of the other Financing Documents shall conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

9.19 Appointment of Agent(s) Following Transfer of the Note

Following any transfer or assignment of the Note, any Note Holder may (so long as there is no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default, with the prior written consent of Issuer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint an Agent (and one or more sub-agents if deemed appropriate by them) to act on their behalf under this Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents. It is expected that in connection with any such appointment the

holders of the Note(s) then outstanding will enter into an appointment agreement with such Agent(s) (any such agreement entered into with an Agent is referred to herein as an “Agency Agreement”). The terms of any Agency Agreement shall be solely between the holder(s) of the Note(s) and the Agent(s) and neither Issuer nor any other Transaction Party shall be a beneficiary thereof or entitled to any rights thereunder except as expressly set forth therein. Following such appointment such Agent(s) shall be entitled to exercise rights and remedies on behalf of any such Transferee under the Financing Documents subject to any limitations set forth in the Agency Agreement as between Note Holder and such Agent(s). Each subsequent holder of the Note(s) by its acceptance of the Note(s) agrees that any Agent(s) appointed and serving under the terms of any such Agency Agreement acts as agent on its behalf under the terms of such Agency Agreement and the other Financing Documents (and further confirms and agrees to such appointment of such Agent thereunder on its behalf) and agrees to be bound by the provisions of any such Agency Agreement. Following notification of the appointment of any Agent(s) by a holder of the Note(s), Issuer shall be entitled to assume that such Agent(s) has authority to act on behalf of such holder of the Note(s) for all purposes under this Agreement and the Financing Documents unless it receives notice to the contrary from such holder of the Note(s) (which may include a limitation of authority expressly set forth in the notices of appointment). Issuer hereby acknowledges and consents to such arrangement and agrees to enter into any supplemental agreements as may be reasonably requested by any Note Holder in connection with such appointment to (i) reflect such appointment, or (ii) provide customary indemnities from Issuer to such Agent(s). Issuer further agrees to pay the fees of such Agent(s) in performing the duties specified in the Agency Agreement, provided that such fees are reasonable and customary in similar transactions for such duties.

9.20 Counterparts; Effectiveness

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof has been received by each party.

9.21 Publicity.

Neither Issuer nor Parent shall make any public disclosure of the contents of this Agreement or any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer’s Affiliates may make any disclosure required pursuant to any securities laws and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which such Affiliate’s securities are traded.

9.22 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable Law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the

total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by Law, Issuer shall pay to Note Holder an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Note Holder and Issuer to conform strictly to any applicable usury Laws. Accordingly, if Note Holder contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at Note Holder’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Obligations or be refunded to Issuer.

9.23 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Issuer or Parent for liquidation or reorganization, should Issuer or Parent become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Issuer’s assets. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

9.24 Expansion Financing.

A. Issuer shall not enter into any contractual commitments or other arrangements in respect of an Expansion and shall not incur any costs, expenses or expenditures in connection with an Expansion (or any modification to the Facilities relating to such Expansion) unless the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (x) below (the “Expansion Requirements”) are met to the satisfaction of Note Holder:

(i) Issuer shall have provided to Note Holder the Expansion Information Package in accordance with Section 9.24C and such other information related to the Expansion as Note Holder may reasonably request.

(ii) The Expansion would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) Note Holder is given a right of first refusal to provide any financing for the Expansion in accordance with Section 9.24D.

(iv) Revisions, modifications and/or supplements as may be reasonably and in good faith requested by Note Holder shall have been made to the Financing Documents (including the Security Trust Agreement and Administrative Trust Agreement and for purposes

of preserving and maintaining the first priority security interest granted thereunder); it is agreed that it shall not be the intention that any such revisions modifications and/or supplements improve the terms of the existing financing for the Project contemplated by this Agreement, the intent instead being to avoid any prejudice to Note Holder’s current position.

(v) Either (a) Issuer shall have received, or Parent shall have provided evidence of sufficient funds set aside for, an equity contribution of not less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate cost of such Expansion or (b) Issuer shall have received a shareholder loan, which loan: (1) shall only be provided by OrPower 9, (2) shall be pledged by way of collateral security to Note Holder pursuant to a security agreement, in the form of the Shareholder Loan Security Agreement and as otherwise satisfactory to Note Holder, and which creates to the satisfaction of Note Holder a perfected Lien in, to and on such loan and any agreement related thereto, including by way of the conduct of any Lien searches and filings and actions required to perfect a first priority Lien in favor of Note Holder, (3) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Shareholder Loans provided pursuant to the Shareholder Loan Agreement or such other terms that are acceptable to Note Holder, and (4) shall be subject to the terms of a subordination agreement substantially in the form of the Subordination Agreement (and having the subordination terms and restrictions thereof) or otherwise satisfactory to Note Holder, of not less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate cost of such Expansion.

(vi) Note Holder shall have received a private credit analysis with respect to Issuer from Fitch evidencing a credit rating that, on a comparative basis to the sovereign rating of Guatemala, is not lower than the credit rating of Issuer on a comparative basis to the sovereign credit rating of Guatemala on the Closing Date.

(vii) No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time the Expansion is proposed or undertaken or will occur as a result of such expansion; and Issuer shall provide a written certification to the effect that to the best knowledge of Issuer after due inquiry there does not exist or is continuing any event, circumstance or other matter that would with the passage of time or upon notice would or is reasonably expected to result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default.

(viii) The proposed Expansion complies in all material respects with all applicable Laws.

(ix) All authorizations, approvals, licenses, permits and consents from any Governmental Authority then required in connection with the Expansion have been obtained or are reasonably expected to be obtained; and

(x) Issuer shall have provided to Note Holder a report, satisfactory to Note Holder, from each of the Independent Engineer and the Independent Geothermal Engineer in respect of such proposed Expansion and in respect of the impact of such proposed Expansion on the Project;

B. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.24(A) to the contrary, Issuer shall be permitted to incur any costs, expenses or expenditures with, and enter into contractual commitments or other arrangements in respect of, an Expansion (or any modification to the

Facilities relating to such Expansion) that shall be funded either by (i) subordinate debt (on the terms of the Subordination Agreement) or equity contributions, in each case from the Parent or another Affiliate of Parent, or (ii) subject to Section 7.9, cash from the Distribution Account, treating the incurrence or the making of any payment on account of any such costs, expenses or expenditures as a Restricted Junior Payment, so long as (a) the conditions set forth in clauses (vii) to (x) of Section 9.24A have been met (provided that, in the case of such clause (x), such reports shall be delivered to Note Holder prior to the start of performance testing of the Expansion facilities and if such reports are not in reasonably satisfactory form and substance to Note Holder, Issuer shall terminate and discontinue the applicable Expansion activities and shall not operate and not permit the operation of the Expansion facilities without the prior consent of Note Holder), (b) both before and after giving effect to such costs, expenses or expenditures, no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (c) no Liens are created in connection thereto, (d) the assets or operations of the Project are not adversely affected, and (e) the value of Collateral is not adversely affected.

C. Except as permitted under Section 9.24B, prior to commencing any construction works or entering into any agreements or commitments in connection with any Expansion, Issuer shall provide Note Holder with a complete information package (the “Expansion Information Package”) containing complete information in relation to the proposed Expansion, including, without limitation, the proposed manner of implementation of the Expansion, the proposed supply arrangements, the proposed offtake arrangements, copies of all draft project documents and other draft contracts related to the proposed Expansion (to the extent available at the relevant time), a cash flow model and financial projections for the Expansion, and the required equity and debt funding, the proposed plan for procuring such funding and a sources and uses of funding plan for the Expansion, supported in each case with such data, calculations, information as Note Holder may reasonably request, along with such other information data, reports and documents as Note Holder may reasonably request (including a review and report by the Independent Engineer), so as to enable Note Holder to carry out a proper and complete due diligence review of the proposed Expansion.

D. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.24B, Issuer shall not enter into any binding arrangements with any Person to obtain committed funding to finance any Expansion (such arrangement being referred to as an “Expansion Financing”) unless:

(i) Prior to entering into such arrangements Issuer shall have first granted Note Holder a right of first refusal to provide the Expansion Financing by delivering to Note Holder at least forty-five (45) Business Days before entering into any Expansion Financing, a written notice (the "Expansion Notice”) containing the material terms and conditions of the proposed Expansion Financing and the identities of each proposed Expansion Financing provider; and

(ii) Note Holder has not, within forty-five (45) Business Days of the receipt of the Expansion Notice by Note Holder, agreed to grant the Expansion Financing sought by Issuer, on the terms and conditions set out the Expansion Notice (or on terms more favorable to Issuer).

9.25 Limitation on Recourse. Except with respect to each Transaction Party’s Obligations under the Financing Documents to which it is a party, it is understood and agreed that the sole recourse of Note Holder, the Agent and the Security Trustee under the Financing Documents for the payment, performance and satisfaction of all of Issuer’s Obligations shall be to Issuer, the assets of Issuer and the Collateral, and that no direct or indirect member, shareholder or other equity holder of Issuer (including Parent or any Person having a direct or indirect equity interest in Parent), shall have any liability or obligation under the Financing Documents for the payment, performance or satisfaction of the Obligations of Issuer solely by reason of its status as such member, shareholder or other equity holder.

9.26 Unplanned Capital Expenditures. In the event Issuer proposes to incur any capital expenditure that is not reflected or accounted for in the then current Operating Budget, then prior to incurring such expenditure Issuer shall provide Note Holder with written information regarding such capital expenditure, including the purpose, costs, schedule and proposed contractual commitments related to such capital expenditure, and such other information reasonably requested by Note Holder, such that Note Holder will be informed regarding, and have the ability to evaluate, the nature of such expenditures (including information adequately demonstrating to Note Holder that such proposed capital expenditure would not have a material and adverse impact or effect on the Project or its operations or the Collateral). Such capital expenditure may be funded from equity contributions or pursuant to the Shareholder Loan Agreement (subject to the Subordination Agreement), in either such case including by deposit to the Current Account (Cuenta Local) as defined in the Administrative Trust Agreement, or otherwise in a manner acceptable to the Note Holder.

Introduction

The Insurance Consultant prepared this summary report under instructions from the Sponsor for the benefit of the Note Holder in connection with the financing by Ortitlan Limitada (the “Borrower”) of the Project. Our scope of services included the following:

	•		Review of the Project information and term sheet in regards to the geothermal facility. The only contract reviewed was the Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”), but other contract considerations were noted as were defined by the Sponsor in the information we received.

	•		Examination of the current insurance binders or summaries of insurance presented by the Sponsor or its insurance representative(s).

	•		Opine as to whether proposed program represents industry practice.

	•		Prepare and submit an Executive Summary.

The results of our findings have been divided into the following sections of this summary report, which include:

	•		Section 3 - The Executive Summary and Program Overview section of our report provides an overview of our key findings in the insurance due diligence process and recommends the insurance requirements pursuant to Project conditions and circumstance.

	•		Section 4 - The Insurance Certification — Proposals recaps the insurance coverages offered under the corporate insurance program.

	•		Section 5 - The Recommendations section divides recommendations between those critical for compliance prior to financial close and those non-critical that are long term in nature.

Section 3

Executive Summary and Program Overview

The transaction is a $42 million financing to the Borrower for the refinancing of the Project through a note purchase arrangement between the Borrower and TCW serving as the Note Holder. The Project is a 20.5MW geothermal power project located in Guatemala approximately 00 xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxx City. The Project began commercial operations in May 2007.

On December 23, 2007, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change officially registered the Project as a Clean Development Mechanism, which qualifies the Project for certified emission reduction (“CER”) credits which can be traded or sold. This information is found at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/Xxxxxxxx/XX/XXX-XXX0000000000.00/xxxx.

The offtaker is Instituto Nacional de Electrificacion (“INDE”) through a 20 year PPA, effective in 2003. INDE is a government held entity.

The Borrower is provided usufruct rights for xxxxx AMF-1, AMF-2, AMF-5J and AMF-6J, AMF-3 and AMF-4 which are INDE assets. The Usufruct Agreement expiration is 2028.

The Borrower is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Project.

Ormat has confirmed to us that to their knowledge, there are no existing environmental conditions, no activity that would be in violation of environmental regulation, no pending litigation and no insurance claims at this time.

Guatemalan Insurance Regulations

The insurance requirements for Guatemala are as follows:

	•		Compulsory coverage is workers compensation (provided through a government social security scheme).

	•		Automobile liability is not compulsory but there are required minimum limits for drivers (owners, non-owners, or lessees).

	•		Local insurers are required to issue the insurance policies and local policy wording is available for the standard coverages (including general and automobile liability and property and machinery breakdown).

	•		It is common for the local insurer to not be rated by AM Best or S&P or other similar rating agency (as the local insurer cedes the majority of special risk exposures to a reinsurer). The reinsurance carrier would generally be rated by an acceptable rating agency with a cut through clause, assignment of reinsurance proceeds, a difference in conditions or another similar endorsement allowing the Lender/Note Holder/ or similar to benefit from the first party insurance proceeds.

Page 4

As reinsurance is permitted this allows the Borrower to benefit from broader wording and improve terms and conditions from the international reinsurance markets.

The local insurance regulations do not present an issue for this transaction and the Borrowers reinsurance program is structured to allow the Lenders/Note Holder access to the property and business interruption loss proceeds in the event of a default by the local insurer.

Summary Opinion

Based upon our review of the insurance program that is presently in effect for this Project, as evidenced by Ormat, the Insurance Consultant opines that the Project has an insurance program which reflects industry practice with respect to the limits, deductibles and coverage for geothermal power plants in similar locations and world-wide.

The following program highlights are noted:

Ormat has assigned the following valuations as the current insurable values (on a replacement cost basis) for the Project.


Amatitlan		$ 22,500,000 Property Damage
		$10,080,000 Business Interruption
		$32,580,000 Total Insurable Values

	•		The local Operational All Risk Property insurance policy is issued through Seguros America S.A., a local Guatemalan carrier. There is a per occurrence loss limit of $32,580,000, for a combined property and business interruption loss for all perils except those subject to an aggregated sub limit. This limit reflects the total insurable values advised by Ormat and thus the loss limit would be considered to be written as replacement cost.

	•		We do note that while the loss limit is replacement cost and the loss proceeds are specified to be paid on a replacement cost basis (no deduction for depreciation) in the event of a Total Constructive Loss at the Project, the loss proceeds will revert to Actual Cash Value or “ACV” (deducting for depreciation) if the Project is not able to be repaired or replaced within a two year period following the loss, instead of full replacement cost settlement. This is standard insurance market practice for all property policies (as the insured will have enjoyed the applicable accounting/tax depreciation expense). An ACV basis for paying losses is likely to have more impact on the available insurance proceeds to be applied to outstanding debt during the second half of the Project’s expected useful life.

Page 5

	•		Backstopping the local insurance policy is the Ormat corporate Property All Risk insurance policy, insured with Assicurazioni Generali, S.p.A. This policy serves as a difference in conditions/coverage and difference in limits/excesses and values policy to cover any loss that is not covered under the local insurance policy (or in the event of an insolvency of the local insurer), where coverage has been obtained under this policy. The same limits and deductibles apply.

	•		The local insurance carrier, Seguros America S.A. does not have an AM Best’s rating. The difference in conditions property carrier and reinsurance carrier for liability, Assicurazioni Generali, has an AM Best’s rating of A+ XV.

	•		It is our understanding that the Project is not located in a high risk zone for Flood. Flood limits are equal to the full policy limit on a per occurrence and aggregated basis and this is backstopped by the Ormat corporate program which makes $100,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregated basis to the Ormat worldwide portfolio of operating assets.

	•		Earthquake exposure is a high hazard Earthquake Zone 3, based on the Munich Re Natural Hazard Maps and a VIII and above based on the modified Mercalli scale, as frequently geothermal facilities are located in seismic areas. (This information can be obtained at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx.) Again, the full policy limit applies and this is backstopped by the Ormat corporate program which makes Earthquake limits available of $100,000,000 per occurrence and on an annual aggregated basis to the worldwide portfolio, excluding assets located in Hawaii and California.

	•		Property All Risk deductibles are in compliance with industry standard, including $150,000 per occurrence for physical damage, 5% of total insurable values deductible with a $250,000 minimum for Earthquake/Flood/Windstorm/ Volcanic Eruption and $225,000 for Machinery Breakdown.

	•		Terrorism and Sabotage coverage is included in the property policy and backstopped by the corporate program, with a $10,000,000 sub limit. It is the opinion of the Insurance Consultant that this exceeds standard industry practice for a remotely located asset that is not deemed critical to grid security.

	•		Business Interruption provides for a 12 month period of indemnity for the Project, for loss of gross revenues due to physical damage and loss of revenues beyond the deductible waiting period due to an insured peril, thus complying with industry practice. The deductibles are 21 days for Business Interruption, except 40 days waiting for machinery breakdown. We understand that the CER credits are not included in the Business Interruption valuation.

	•		Ormat’s Insurance Broker has confirmed that corporate Control of Well policy and Rigs and Rolling Stock policy applies for this Project. The Control of Well policy has a combined single limit of $20,000,000 per occurrence and in the

Page 6

			aggregate, which is commensurate with industry standards and practice. As Control of Well and Rigs and Rolling Stock insurance is not offered or required to be offered by the local insurers, the corporate program is the primary insurance policy for this exposure.

	•		The Operator for the Project will be the Borrower, Ortitlan Limitada.

			Liability Notes

	•		Liability insurance is provided under a local policy with Seguros America S.A. and is backstopped by Assicurazioni Generali (“Generali”). Policy wording on the local policy follows the Generali insurance policy.

	•		The General Liability insurance policy has a $1,000,000 per occurrence limit and a $1,000,000 aggregate limit for products and completed operations. There is a further $20,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate umbrella limit (under a corporate policy) extending the overall available limits to exceed industry practice for this location.

	•		The policy responds to Automobile and Employers Liability.

	•		Pollution Liability coverage is also included under the General Liability policy for sudden and accidental pollution with a limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence and on an annual aggregated basis. Pollution coverage is extended under the corporate Generali Umbrella Liability policy, thus increasing the available limit to $21,000,000.

			Given the nature of the fuel (steam), a geothermal plant has limited exposure to sudden and accidental pollution causing third party physical damage or bodily injury and this limit is acceptable by industry standards.

	•		The General Liability deductible is $5,000 under the local carrier, and $10,000 each claim for the corporate Generali Umbrella Liability. These deductibles are conservative industry practice.

	•		The General Liability policy includes a cross liability clause.

Page 7

			General Terms Notes

	•		The Note Holder will be an Additional Insured on the Property and Liability insurance policies, where required by written contract. Certificates of insurance should be evidenced at Closing to this effect.

	•		Loss proceeds will be paid to the Note Holder over an agreed loss proceeds threshold, $10,000,000, where required by contract and subject to a standard mortgagee loss payable clause. Certificates of insurance should be evidenced at Closing to this effect.

	•		A severability of interest clause is included in all policies.

	•		A waiver of subrogation will be afforded to the Note Holder, if required by contract. Certificates of insurance should be evidenced at Closing to this effect.

	•		30 days written notice of cancellation will be afforded to the Note Holder under the property program (10 days for nonpayment of premium), if required by contract. Certificates of insurance should be evidenced at Closing to this effect.

Closing Comments

Based upon the information we have received, including Insurance Certificates and confirmation from the Broker, the Insurance Consultant confirms that all items are in good order, are commensurate with or more conservative than industry practice for similarly located power assets and the insurance program would be acceptable for Closing pending the evidence of any required endorsements, including Loss Payee status for the benefit of the Lender, if required by contract.

Critical for Closing

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement with Ortitlan, Limitada (as Issuer) and TCW (as Note Holder), and upon Closing:

	•		TCW should be added to the Property and Liability policies as an Additional Insured.

	•		TCW should be added as Loss Payee on the Property policy as their interest may appear.

	•		TCW should be afforded a 30 day notice of cancellation (10 day notice in the event of non-payment.

	•		A waiver of subrogation and a severability of interest clause should be evidenced on the Certificate of Insurance provided at Closing.
