        SECTION 14.    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

        SECTION 15.    No Commitment or Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any action or
inaction on the part of the Senior Lenders shall be construed to constitute or represent (i) a commitment by the Senior Lenders, either in their capacities under the Transaction Documents or in
any other capacity, to restructure any Indebtedness of the Borrower, or (ii) an intention by the Senior Lenders, except as expressly provided in Section 2 above, to waive, modify
or forbear from exercising any of their rights, powers, privileges or remedies under the Transaction Documents or under any other document or agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise (including with
respect to any Default or Event of Default (other than with respect to the Eighth Amendment Specified Defaults to the extent provided herein)), and SRT and the Borrower each acknowledge, agree and
confirm, except as expressly provided in Section 2 above, that no such commitment, waiver, modification or forbearance has been offered, granted, extended or agreed to by the Senior Lenders,
either in their capacities under the Transaction Documents or in any other capacity (including with respect to any Default or Event of Default (other than with respect to the Eighth Amendment
Specified Defaults to the extent provided herein)). Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the Senior Lenders, either in their capacities under the Transaction
Documents or in any other capacity, to agree to the terms of any modification proposed by the Borrower or SRT to the Transaction Documents or any other document or agreement to which either of the
Senior Lenders is a party.

        SECTION 16.    Remedies. No failure on the part of the Senior Lenders to
exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or under the Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise by the Senior Lenders of any right, power or remedy hereunder or under the Transaction Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. 

        SECTION 17.    Voluntary Agreement. Each of the Borrower and SRT represents and
warrants that it is represented by legal counsel of its choice, is fully aware of the terms contained in this Agreement and has voluntarily and without coercion or duress of any kind entered into this
Agreement, and the documents and agreements executed and to be executed in connection with this Agreement. No provision hereof shall be interpreted or construed for or against any party because such
party prepared or requested, or may have prepared or requested, such provision, any other provision or this Agreement as a whole. 

        SECTION 18.    Transaction Documents in Full Force. Each of SRT and the Borrower
covenants and agrees that the Transaction Documents and the provisions thereof are and remain legal, valid and binding obligations of each of SRT and the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their
terms, and remain in full force and effect except as amended or modified hereby, and each of SRT and the Borrower hereby reaffirms, reconfirms and restates, all such obligations, as so modified, to
the Senior Lenders. Each of SRT and the Borrower acknowledges that none of the provisions contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the Borrower's obligation to deliver to the Senior
Lenders certain information regarding (a) RTC, (b) the issuance of shares in the Borrower or (c) the acquisition by the Borrower or any other SRT Party (as such term is defined in
the Transfer Restrictions Agreement) of any shares in any other entity, shall constitute consent by the Senior Lenders to any transaction that would be prohibited by the terms of the Financing
Documents. Neither SRT nor the Borrower has, and, in any event, hereby waives and releases, any claim, counterclaim, demand (other than notices required under the Transaction Documents), action,
defense (other than that SRT or the Borrower in fact has performed or complied with such obligation) or offset against any of its Indebtedness, Obligations and other obligations (and the enforcement
thereof) under the Transaction Documents against the Senior Lenders or their respective employees, agents and representatives, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever occurring on or before
the date hereof which relates to or arises out of the Transaction Documents or any obligations or responsibilities of the Senior Lenders under or in respect of the Transaction Documents. In addition,
each of SRT and the Borrower agrees not to commence, join in, assist, cooperate, prosecute or participate in (other than as a defendant) any suit or other proceeding in a position that is materially
adverse to the Senior Lenders concerning matters within the scope of the waiver contained above. Each of SRT and the Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement or
in any document or instrument executed in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction as to all or any portion of the Obligations. 

11

	(d)
	expressly
acknowledges and agrees that funds extended by SRT to the Borrower during the period commencing on June 30, 2001 through and including the Waiver Termination Date

	(e)
	expressly

the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

	(h)
	expressly
acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof and as a consequence of the facts and events set out in subsection (g) above, (i) SRT is in default of its
obligations under the Performance Undertaking and such default gives rise to SRT's obligation to pay the Senior Lenders the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 2.01(a)(vi) of the Project Funds Agreement, it being agreed and understood that such default is temporarily waived during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; 

12

 
	(i)
	expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (i) a Rating Downgrade occurred on April 6, 2001, (ii) SRT did not, at any time within the 30 days following SRT's
receipt of the Rating Downgrade, request that the Senior Lenders perform a credit review of SRT, and (iii) SRT did not provide the Senior Lenders with a Credit Enhancement Instrument within

with a Credit Enhancement Instrument is temporarily waived during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

	(j)
	expressly
acknowledges and agrees that, as a consequence of the facts and events set out in subsection (i) above SRT is in default of its obligations under the Project Funds

Funds Agreement, it being agreed and understood that such default is temporarily waived during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

        SECTION 20.    Most Favored Creditor Clause. Each of SRT and the Borrower hereby
agrees that it shall not enter into any standstill, forbearance or restructuring agreement (of any type or nature) with any creditor or creditors without the prior written consent of the Senior
Lenders. If during the Waiver Period, SRT or the Borrower enters into any such other standstill, forbearance or restructuring agreement that contains any terms, provisions or treatment that are more
favorable to such creditor or creditors, in the opinion of the Senior Lenders, than the terms, provisions, or treatment of the Senior Lenders set forth herein, then the Senior Lenders shall be
entitled to be accorded the benefits of any such terms, provisions or treatment, as reasonably determined by the Senior Lenders, and SRT or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall be required
immediately to take any and all actions necessary to accord the Senior Lenders the benefits of such terms, provisions or treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause shall not apply to extend
the stated term of this Agreement. Neither SRT's nor the Borrower's obligations hereunder shall be exhausted by any one exercise of this clause, but shall survive for the term of this Agreement. 

        SECTION 21.    Common Agreement Event of Default. Any breach by SRT or the
Borrower of any of the terms of this Agreement and the occurrence of any of the events or actions referred to in Section 10(k) will constitute an Event of Default under the Common Agreement. 

        SECTION 22.    Further assurances. Each of the Borrower and SRT shall execute
all additional documents and do all acts not specifically referred to herein which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of this Agreement.
