Debt in default

The following table summarizes the Company's subsidiary non-recourse debt in default or accelerated as of March 31, 2013 and is classified as current non-recourse debt unless otherwise indicated:

	Primary Nature	March 31, 2013
Subsidiary	of Default	Default Amount		Net Assets

		(in millions)
Maritza	Covenant	$	819	$	576
Sonel	Covenant		264		361
Kavarna	Covenant		196		82
Changuinola	Covenant		395		249
Saurashtra	Covenant		25		15
Total		$	1,304

The above defaults are not payment defaults, but are instead technical defaults triggered by failure to comply with other covenants and/or other conditions such as (but not limited to) failure to meet information covenants, complete construction or other milestones in an allocated time, meet certain minimum or maximum financial ratios, or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents of the Company.

In addition, in the event that there is a default, bankruptcy or maturity acceleration at a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that meets the applicable definition of materiality under the corporate debt agreements of The AES Corporation, there could be a cross-default to the Company's recourse debt. At March 31, 2013 none of the defaults listed above individually or in the aggregate results in a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Company.
