         event, there exists an Approved Restoration Plan in respect of the
         remediation of the damage, loss or taking giving rise to such event.

         Section 5.2 REMEDIES UPON A TRINIDAD EVENT OF DEFAULT. Subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, if one or more Trinidad Events of Default shall have

is a party secure all Indebtedness and all obligations of the Trinidad Project
Borrower owed to Funding Company in connection with the Trinidad Project Loan of
whatever kind or character, whether now owing, hereafter arising or hereafter to
be performed.

         (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the

No notice to or demand on the Trinidad Project Borrower in any case shall
entitle the Trinidad Project Borrower to any other or further notice or demand

         Section 6.5 THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. Except as provided in SECTION

the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Finance Document brought in the courts referred to in
clause (b) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead
or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

BY JURY.

         Section 6.10 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The obligations of the Trinidad

consent of the Bond Trustee and in accordance with the Indenture and the
Intercreditor Agreement.

         Section 6.13 MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. Notwithstanding any provision to
