INTEREST

            within two (2) years from the Commencement Date, as such two (2)
            year time period may be adjusted pursuant to the Agreement (the last
            day of such two (2) year time period hereinafter referred to as the
            "Guaranteed Completion Date"). 

            NOW this Policy is to pay the Owner, subject to the Conditions,
            Warranties, Definitions and Exclusions set forth herein, the
            liquidated damages payable under the terms of Section 6.11 (a) only
            of the Agreement and to be calculated in accordance with the terms
            set forth within subsection I.B only of Schedule C to the Agreement
            for each day that Substantial Completion of the Project is delayed
            beyond the date which is 30 days after the Guaranteed Completion
            Date directly as a result of any act of neglect, error or omission
            on the part of the Assured, its Contractors and their subcontractors
            of all tiers in the scope of work to be performed by the Assured
            under the Agreement, and/or any other cause for which the Assured is
            not entitled to relief or excuse under the terms of the Agreement.

            In consequence thereof, Underwriters hereby agree, upon a valid
            claim having been established to the reasonable satisfaction of
            Underwriters as falling within the terms and conditions of this
            Policy, to pay the Owner within 45 days from the date a valid claim
            has been established to the reasonable satisfaction of Underwriters
            in respect of loss(es) sustained which are the subject of such
            claim, and thereafter within 45 days of any further loss(es)
            sustained (the amount of the loss to be paid to be calculated on a
            monthly basis); it being understood and agreed that such
            reimbursements shall be made on a provisional basis pending final
            determination and settlement of the amount to be paid under this
            Policy, provided however that in no circumstances shall
            Underwriters' maximum liability exceed the stated limits provided
            under this Policy. 

            Underwriters' maximum liability under this Policy limited to
            US$ 24,062,000 in all hereunder.

(Continued) (3) Subrogation Clause:

                If the Underwriters become liable for any payment under this
                Policy in respect of loss, damage or liability the Underwriters
                shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all the
                rights and remedies of the Assured (including, without
                limitation, claims for liquidated damages) against any party in
                respect of such loss, damage or liability and shall be entitled
                at their own expense to make claims and sue in the name of the
                Assured; provided, however, that all amounts recovered by
                Underwriters in the exercise of such subrogation rights shall be
                allocated and paid by Underwriters as follows: (i) first, to
                Underwriters and the Assured to reimburse them for their
                respective expenses incurred in effecting such recoveries; (ii)
                second, to the Assured to the extent of any loss incurred by the

                Substantial Completion under Section 6.11 (a) of the Agreement;

                in achieving Substantial Agreement under Section 6.11 (a) of the
                Agreement; and (iv) any remainder to the Assured. The
                Underwriters and the Assured agree to co-operate in the pursuit
                of such rights and remedies with a view to maximizing their
                respective recoveries. The Assured shall give to the
                Underwriters its reasonable assistance as the Underwriters may
                reasonably require to secure their rights and remedies and, at
                Underwriters' request, shall execute all documents necessary to
                enable Underwriters effectively to bring suit in the name of the
                Assured.

                an appeal.

                The above-named are authorised and directed to accept service of

                other hand under, out of or in connection with or in relation to
                this Policy shall be submitted to arbitration. The Assured or
                the Owner, as the case may be and Underwriters each shall
                nominate an arbitrator within thirty days of the date upon which
                either gives the other written notice that it demands
                arbitration hereunder and the two arbitrators so named shall
                select an umpire before entering upon the arbitration. The
                arbitrators shall consider the differences between the parties
                and shall submit only such questions upon which they disagree to
                the umpire.

                A decision in writing of any two of the three (two arbitrators
                and one umpire) when filed with the Assured or the Owner, as the
                case may be and Underwriters shall be binding upon both. The
                award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding
                upon the parties, subject to the indemnity limit, and judgement
                thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
                The arbitrators and the umpire shall not be obliged to follow
                judicial formalities or the rules of evidence except to the
                extent required by governing law, that is, the state law of the
                situs of the arbitration as herein agreed.

                In the event that either party fails to appoint its arbitrator
                within the time specified, the other party shall have the right
                to appoint the said arbitrator forthwith.

                If the arbitrators do not agree as to an umpire within thirty
                days of their appointment, an umpire shall be promptly appointed
                by the American Arbitration Association upon the application of
                either of the two arbitrators. Each party shall submit its case
                to both of the arbitrators within fifteen days of the
                appointment of the umpire or within such period as may be agreed
                by consent of both arbitrators and the umpire, and the
                arbitrators and the umpire shall make their award in writing
                within sixty days of the date on which the umpire has been named
                and agreed. The said arbitrators and umpire shall not be under
                the control or management of either party to this Policy.

(Continued) (6) Arbitration Clause:

                Each party shall pay the fee of its own arbitrator and half the
                fee of the umpire, and the remaining costs of the arbitration
                shall be paid as the award shall direct. Any arbitration shall

                to provide for a means of quickly settling disputes without
                resort to litigation, but this Clause in no way infringes on any
                rights accorded in the Service of Suit Clause of this Policy,
                the sole effect and intent of which is to provide without waiver

                claim hereunder following an arbitration decision determining
                that such amount is due.

            (7) There shall be no cancellation of this Policy.

                It being understood and agreed however that notwithstanding
                anything contained herein to the contrary, this Policy may be
                cancelled by Underwriters hereon only in the event of nonpayment
                of premium by mailing to the Owner at the last mailing address
                known by Underwriters, by registered or certified mail, written
                notice stating when, not less than 10 days thereafter, such

                period, such notice of cancellation will be rescinded.

                 Payment of such losses by Underwriters to the Owner

                 Underwriters' obligations to the Assured and the Owner
