surrender of such Bond, as the Authority by resolution may provide,
substantially of the tenor hereinabove set forth and with such appropriate
omissions, insertions and variations as may be required. -----------------------
------ (B) If temporary Bonds shall be issued, the Authority shall cause the
definitive Bonds to be prepared and to be executed and delivered to the Trustee,
and the Trustee, upon presentation to it at the Corporate Trust Office, of any
temporary Bond, shall cancel the same and authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor at the place designated by the Holder, without charge to the Holder
thereof, a definitive Bond or Bonds of an equal principal amount and Maturity
Date as the temporary Bond surrendered. Until so exchanged the temporary Bonds
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefit of this Trust Agreement as
the corresponding definitive Bonds to be issued and authenticated hereunder. No
charge of any kind shall be made against the Holder upon an exchange of a
temporary Bond for a definitive Bond. ------------------------------------------
-28-
--- SECTION 210. MUTILATED, DESTROYED OR LOST BONDS. (A) A mutilated Bond may be
surrendered and thereupon the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Bond of like tenor and
principal amount. --------------------------------------------------------------
----- (B) If there be delivered to the Authority, the Borrower and to the
Trustee: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
------- (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction or loss of any
Bond, and ----------------------------------------------------------------------
------- (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Authority or the Trustee
that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Authority shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in lieu
of any such destroyed or lost Bond, a new Bond of like tenor and principal
amount. In case any such mutilated, destroyed or lost Bond has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Authority in its discretion, instead of
issuing a new Bond, may pay such Bond. -----------------------------------------
----- (C) Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Authority
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.--
--- SECTION 211. BOOK-ENTRY BONDS. (i) Except as provided in subparagraph (iii)
of this Section 211, the Holder of all Bonds shall be the Securities Depository
and, as long as the Securities Depository shall be DTC, the Holder shall be Cede
& Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of interest for any Bond registered in the
name of Cede & Co. shall be made to the account of Cede & Co. at the address
indicated for Cede & Co. in the registration books kept by the Trustee. The
"Bonds" referred to in this
-29-
Section 211 shall refer to all Book-Entry Bonds. -------------------------------
-------(ii) The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of separate, single,
authenticated fully-registered Bonds in the amount of each separately stated
maturity. As long as certificates for the Bonds are not issued pursuant to this
Section 211, the Trustee and the Authority may treat the Securities Depository
(or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its
name for the purposes of payment of the principal or Redemption Price (and
premium, if any) of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions
thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to
the owners of such Bonds hereunder, registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining
any consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders and for all other
purposes whatsoever; and neither the Trustee nor the Authority shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or
through the Securities Depository or any Participant, or any other Person which
is not shown on the registration books of the Trustee as being an owner of
Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities
Depository or any Participant; the payment to the Securities Depository or any
Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or Redemption Price (and
premium, if any) of or interest on the Bonds; any notice which is permitted or
required to be given to the Bondholders; the selection by the Securities
Depository or any Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a
partial redemption of the Bonds; or any consent given or other action taken by
the Securities Depository as owner of Bonds. The Trustee shall pay all principal
and Redemption Price (and premium, if any) of and interest on the Bonds only to
or "upon the order of" the Securities Depository (as that term is used in the
Uniform Commercial Code as
-30-
adopted in the State of New York), and all such payments shall be valid and
effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Authority's obligations with
respect to the principal or Redemption Price (and premium, if any) of and
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except as
provided in (iii) below, no Person other than the Securities Depository shall
receive an authenticated Bond for each separate Maturity Date evidencing the
obligation of the Authority to make payments of the applicable principal amount.
Upon delivery by the Securities Depository to the Trustee of notice to the
effect that the Securities Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee
in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in
accordance with subparagraph (vi) below. ---------------------------------------
-------(iii) In the event the Authority determines that it is in the best
interest of the Authority not to continue the book-entry system of transfer for
the Bonds or that the interest of the owners of the Bonds might be adversely
affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued, the Authority may
notify the Securities Depository and the Trustee, whereupon the Securities
Depository will notify the Participants, of the availability through the
Securities Depository of certificates for the Bonds. In such event, the Trustee
shall issue, transfer and exchange certificates for the Bonds as requested by
the Securities Depository and any Participant or Beneficial Owner in appropriate
amounts in accordance with subparagraph (vi) below. The Securities Depository
may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at
any time by giving notice to the Authority and the Trustee and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, or the Authority may
determine that the Securities Depository is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities and may so advise the Securities Depository. In either such
event, the Authority shall either establish its own book-entry system or use
reasonable efforts to
-31-
locate another Securities Depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no
successor securities depository), the Authority and the Trustee shall be
obligated to deliver certificates for the Bonds with respect to such series of
Bonds as described in subparagraph (vi) below. In the event certificates for the
Bonds are issued, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to, among other
things, the printing of certificates, the transfer and exchange of such
certificates and the method of payment of principal or Redemption Price (and
premium, if any) of and interest on such certificates. Whenever the Securities
Depository requests the Authority and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee and the
Authority will cooperate with the Securities Depository in taking appropriate
action after reasonable notice (A) to make available one or more separate
certificates evidencing the Bonds to any Participant having Bonds credited to
its account with the Securities Depository, or (B) to arrange for another
Securities Depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Bonds.
-------(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal or Redemption Price
(and premium, if any) of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect
to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the
DTC Representation Letter.------------------------------------------------------
-------(v) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided
to owners of Bonds pursuant to this Agreement by the Authority or the Trustee or
with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by owners of Bonds, the
Authority or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for
such consent or other action and give the Securities Depository notice of such
record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the
extent possible. Such notice to
-32-
the Securities Depository shall be given only when the Securities Depository is
the sole Bondholder. -----------------------------------------------------------
-------(vi) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted
under subparagraph (ii) or (iii) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be
accomplished upon receipt by the Trustee from the registered owner thereof of
the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer
to the permitted transferee, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of
this Trust Agreement. Each Bond shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: "Except as otherwise provided in Section 211 of the Trust
Agreement, this bond may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to
another nominee of the Securities Depository (as defined in the Trust Agreement)
or to a successor Securities Depository or to a nominee of a successor
Securities Depository." --------------------------------------------------------

redemption, the Bonds shall be called in inverse order of maturity. If fewer
than all of the Outstanding Bonds of the same Maturity Date shall
-34-
be called for redemption, the Bonds or portions thereof of such Maturity Date to
be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that the portion of any Bond to be
redeemed shall be in Authorized Denominations, and that, in selecting Bonds for
redemption, the Trustee shall treat each Bond as representing that number of
Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000). -----------------------------------------------------
--- SECTION 302. REDEMPTION NOTICE. At least 30 days before the redemption date
of any Bonds the Trustee shall cause a notice, signed by it, of any such

after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Bond, a new Bond or Bonds in a
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Bond
-35-
will be issued. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Redemption
Release or any defect thereon shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of the Bonds. Failure to give redemption notice to any Holder
or any defect in any notice so given shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds of any other Holders. --------------
--- SECTION 303. EFFECT OF CALLING FOR REDEMPTION. On the date so designated for
redemption, notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions
hereinabove provided, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption:

remedy hereunder. Except as otherwise above provided, it is understood and

omission of the Trustee or any Bondholder to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be

Bondholders, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as
may be deemed expedient. -------------------------------------------------------

----- (E) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the

Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or
the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by an
instrument or concurrent instruments executed by the Majority Interest delivered
to the Authority, the Borrower, and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become

Authority and approved by the Borrower, and accepted its appointment in the

Bondholder for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the

hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, to the
Authority and the Borrower, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon such successor Trustee without any further act, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, immunities, powers and trusts, and subject to all
the duties and obligations, of its predecessors. The predecessor Trustee shall,
nevertheless, on the request of its successor or of the Authority and upon
payment of the expenses, charges and other disbursements of such predecessor
which are payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 906, execute and deliver
an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, immunities,
powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Trustee shall
deliver all property and moneys held by it hereunder to its successor, subject,
nevertheless, to its preference, if any, provided for in Sections 902 and 906.
Should any instrument from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee
for more fully and certainly vesting such Trustee the rights, immunities, powers
and trusts hereby vested or intended to be vested the predecessor Trustee, any
such instrument shall and will, on request, be

--- SECTION 1002. PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENT AND OF OWNERSHIP. Proof of
the execution of any instrument mentioned in Section 1001 and of the ownership
of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and shall
be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken by it
under such instrument if made in the following manner: (i) the fact and date of
the execution by and the authority of the Person executing any such instrument
may be proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the
laws thereof, has power to take
-71-
affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such instrument was
subscribed to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution; and
(ii) the ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Bond Register. Nothing
contained in this Section shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to such
proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the
matters herein stated which may be sufficient. Any request or consent of any
Bondholder shall bind every future Holder of the same Bond or any Bond issued in
place thereof in respect of anything done by the Trustee in pursuance of such
request or consent. ------------------------------------------------------------

at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, direction, consent or other instrument, but the
Authority shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, direction, consent or other instrument may be given before or
after such record date, but only the Holders at the close of business on such
record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, direction, consent or other instrument, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Bonds shall be computed as of such record date. No such
consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it
shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Agreement no
later than six months after the record date. -----------------------------------

Bonds; or (v) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds

necessary the approval by Bondholders of the execution of any supplemental
agreement as authorized in Section 1101. ---------------------------------------
----- (C) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Bondholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplement or
amendment but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

any supplement or amendment to this Trust Agreement for any of the purposes of

Bondholders. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed
supplement or amendment and shall state that copies thereof are on file at the
Corporate Trust Office for inspection by the Bondholders. The Trustee shall not,
however, be subject to any liability to any Bondholder by reason of its failure

-74-
instruments in writing purporting to be executed by the Majority Interest, which
instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed supplement or amendment

supplement or amendments or any record date established in connection therewith
pursuant to Article X shall have consented to and approved the execution thereof
as herein provided, no Holder shall have any right to object to the execution of
such supplement or amendment, or to object to any of the terms and provisions
contained therein or the operation thereof or in any manner to question the
propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Trustee or the
Authority from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant to the
provisions thereof. ------------------------------------------------------------

----- (B) The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected
in relying upon, an opinion of any counsel, as conclusive evidence that any such
proposed supplement or amendment does or does not comply with the provisions of

in clauses (iv) and (v) below shall have been satisfied or when (i) if such Bond

1999 SERIES A
REVERSE SIDE
This bond is one of a duly authorized series of revenue bonds of the
Authority in the aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Five Million Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($105,200,000), known as "Tourism Revenue Bonds, 1999
Series A (El Conquistador Resort Project)" (the "Bonds"). The issue consists of
three classes: Serial Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of [$ ]; four
groups of Term Bonds in the aggregate principal amounts of [$ , $ ,
$ , and $ ,] due on the following dates, respectively, the 1st day of
[ ]of the years 2014, 2019, 2024, and 2029; and Capital Appreciation Bonds
in the aggregate principal amount of [$ ] due on the 1st day of [ , ].
The Bonds are issued for the purpose of providing funds for paying all or a
portion of the refinancing of the acquisition, development, construction and
equipping of certain tourism facilities (the "Project"), to fund certain
reserves, and pay certain costs and expenses of issuing the Bonds.
The Bonds are parity obligations, except for differences in interest rates
(yield in the case of the Capital Appreciation Bonds), and are issued under and
pursuant to a Deed of Trust Agreement (said agreement, together with all
permitted agreements supplemental thereto or amendatory thereof, the "Trust
Agreement"), executed on the Date Of Issuance by and between the Authority and
Banco Santander Puerto Rico, in the Municipality of San ▇▇▇▇, Puerto Rico (said
bank and any bank, banking association or trust company becoming successor
trustee under the Trust Agreement, being herein called the "Trustee"). A copy of
the Trust Agreement is on file at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.
Reference is hereby made to the Trust Agreement for the provisions, among
others, with respect to the custody and application of the proceeds of the
Bonds, the collection and disposition of payments under the Loan Agreement
(hereinafter mentioned) and other revenues, a description of the funds charged
with and assigned for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
the terms and conditions under which the Bonds are or may be issued, the rights,
duties and obligations of the Authority and of the Trustee and the rights of the
Registered Owners. By the acceptance of this bond, the holder hereof assents to
all of the provisions of the Trust Agreement and the Loan Agreement.
-13-
This bond is issued and the Trust Agreement was made and entered into under
and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of Puerto Rico, including Act Number
121 of the Legislature of Puerto Rico, approved June 27, 1977, as amended (the
"Act"), and under and pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Authority. All
capitalized terms used in the front and reverse sides of this bond that are
defined in the Trust Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to
them in the Trust Agreement.
The Authority has entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with
El Conquistador Partnership L.P., S.E., a limited partnership organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Borrower"), under the
provisions of which the Authority has agreed to lend to the Borrower the
proceeds of the Bonds for the purposes herein before mentioned. The Loan
Agreement provides that: (i) the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid,
amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all the Bonds as the
same shall become due and payable, and certain fees and expenses of the
Authority and the Trustee; (ii) any payments in respect of the Bonds shall be
made directly to the Trustee for the account of the Authority; and (iii) the
Borrower's obligation to make such payments shall be absolute and unconditional.
Under the Trust Agreement, the Authority, for the benefit of the Registered
Owners, has assigned and conveyed to the Trustee, in trust, the Authority's
interests in the Loan Agreement (subject to the reservation of certain rights of
the Authority under the Loan Agreement, including its rights to payment of
certain expenses and to indemnity) and the payments thereunder and other
revenues derived therefrom. The Trust Agreement provides that any payments under
the Loan Agreement in respect of the Bonds and all such revenues are to be
deposited with the Trustee to the credit of a special fund designated "Tourism
Revenue Bonds, 1999 Series A (El Conquistador Resort Project) Bond Fund", which
special fund is equally and ratably charged with the payment of the principal of
and interest on all the Bonds. In addition, $9,100,000 of the Bonds proceeds
will be initially deposited with the Trustee to the credit of a special fund
designated "Tourism Revenue Bonds, 1999 Series A (El Conquistador Resort
Project) Reserve Fund", which special fund is equally and ratably charged with
the payment of the principal of and interest on all the Bonds whenever moneys
held in the Bond Fund are insufficient for such purposes.
To secure the obligations under the Loan Agreement and the Trust Agreement,
the Borrower has executed the following documents (the "Security Documents"):
(i) the Mortgages creating a first lien on the Project and on the Palominos
island leasehold; (ii) the Pledge Agreement whereby the Mortgage Notes secured
by the Mortgages have been pledged to the Trustee; (iii) the Security Agreements
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) whereby a lien and security interest is
created on all the personal property of the Project owned by the Borrower; and
(iv) the Assignment Agreements (as defined in the Loan Agreement) whereby the
Project's leases and rents and hotel management agreement are assigned to the
Trustee.
The Bonds are issuable only as registered Bonds without coupons, in
denominations (Maturity Amount, in the case of the Capital Appreciation Bonds)
of $5,000, and any integral
-14-
multiples thereof, may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount or
Maturity Amount, as the case may be, of bonds of the same series and authorized
denominations, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Municipality
of San ▇▇▇▇, Puerto Rico, in the manner and subject to the limitations and
conditions provided in the Trust Agreement and upon payment of any taxes, fees
or other governmental charges provided in the Trust Agreement.
The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal
to the principal amount thereof, and accrued interest to the redemption date in
the case of the Serial Bonds and the Terms Bonds, and the Accreted Value as of
the date of redemption in the case of the Capital Appreciation Bonds (the
"Redemption Price") (a) in whole: (i) if the operation of the Project ceases,
under the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, (ii) upon the second
occurrence of an Event of Taxability (as defined in the Loan Agreement); and (b)
in whole or in part upon the occurrence of an event of condemnation, damage to
or destruction of the Project.
The Bonds are subject to redemption, at the option of the Borrower, in
whole or in part, as directed by the Borrower, on any Interest Payment Date on

If fewer than all of the Outstanding Bonds: (i) shall be called for
redemption, the Bonds shall be called in inverse order of maturity; or (ii) of
the same Maturity Date shall be called for redemption, the Bonds or portions
thereof of such Maturity Date to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; all as provided in
the Trust Agreement. If a Bond is delivered for partial redemption, then the
Trustee shall deliver to or upon the order of the Registered Owner, without
charge therefor, in exchange for the unredeemed portion of such Bond, a new Bond
of the same maturity and of any denomination or denominations authorized by the
Trust Agreement.
Any such redemption shall be made upon at least 30 days prior notice to all
Registered Owners, in the manner, and under the terms and conditions provided in
the Trust Agreement. On the date designated for redemption, such notice having
been given, the Bonds shall become and be due and payable at the redemption
price established in the Trust Agreement, and, if sufficient moneys for payment
of the said redemption price are held by the Trustee, as provided in the Trust
Agreement, interest on the Bonds shall cease to accrue, the Bonds shall cease to
be entitled to any benefit under the Trust Agreement and the Registered Owners
shall have no rights in respect of the Bonds except to receive payment of the
redemption price held by the Trustee.
If any Bonds are not presented for payment of principal when due, the
Registered Owners thereof shall look only to the moneys set aside for such
purpose by the Trustee. After two years, such moneys, including any earnings
thereon, will be paid to the Borrower, and the Registered Owners of such Bonds
shall thereafter look only to the Borrower for payment thereof.
The Registered Owner of this bond shall have no right to enforce the
provisions of the Trust Agreement or to institute action to enforce the
covenants therein, or take any action with respect to any event of default under
the Trust Agreement or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other
proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Trust Agreement. The
Trustee is not required to enforce the Trust Agreement unless it receives
reasonable security and indemnity.
The Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid if there shall have been
deposited with the Trustee sufficient moneys or certain prescribed investment
obligations to provide, without reinvestment, together with any other available
funds, sufficient moneys, to pay when due the principal of and interest, in the
case of the Serial Bonds and the Term Bonds, and the Accreted
-16-
Value, in the case of the Capital Appreciation Bonds. Thereafter, the Registered
Owners must look only to such moneys or investment obligations for payment.
Modifications or alterations of the Trust Agreement or of any agreement
supplemental thereto may be made by the Authority and the Trustee only to the
extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Agreement.
The Trustee is required to keep at its principal corporate trust office the
books of the Authority for the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds. The
transfer of this bond may be registered only upon such books and as otherwise
provided in the Trust Agreement upon the surrender hereof to the Trustee
together with an assignment duly executed by the registered owner hereof or his
legal representative in the form set forth on this bond or such other form as
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon each registration of transfer, the
Trustee shall deliver in exchange for this bond a new bond or bonds of the same
series, registered in the name of the transferee, of authorized denominations,
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount or the Maturity
Amount, as the case may be, of this bond.
As declared by the Act, this bond, notwithstanding the provisions for the
registration of transfer contained in the Trust Agreement, shall at all times
have, and shall be understood to have, all the qualities and incidents
(including negotiability) of a negotiable instrument under the laws of Puerto
Rico.
This bond is issued with the intent that the laws of Puerto Rico shall
govern its construction.
Pursuant to the Act, the Authority as agent for Puerto Rico, hereby
includes Puerto Rico's pledge to and agreement with the Registered Owners and
with those persons or entities who may enter into contracts with the Authority
pursuant to the Act that Puerto Rico shall not limit or alter the rights vested
in the Authority pursuant to the Act until the Bonds and interest thereon are
fully met and discharged and such contracts are fully performed and fulfilled on
the part of the Authority; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
pledge shall affect or alter such limitation if adequate measures are provided
by the law for the protection of the Registered Owners or those who have entered
into such contracts with the Authority.
