(3) proceed against the Trustee or the Fund following, or the liability of the Trustee in respect of, any fraud, wilful default or gross negligence of the Trustee.

(f) Nothing in clause 1.8(e) shall make the Trustee liable to any claim for an amount greater than the amount which the other parties would have been able to claim and recover from the assets of the Fund in relation to the relevant liability if the Trustee's right of indemnification out of the assets of the Fund had not been prejudiced by the Trustee's fraud, wilful default or gross negligence.

(g) This clause applies despite any other provisions of this agreement or any principle of equity or law to the contrary.

1.9 Security Trust Deed

(a) This agreement is entered into subject to, and with the benefit of, the terms of the Security Trust Deed.

the Agent and the Borrower agree to negotiate in good faith to determine if any changes should be made to the ratio threshold levels set out in clause 8.24(a)(2) and 8.24(a)(3) as a result of the delay in production arising from any such delay in the commencement of construction for the Third Production Unit or the delay in making the initial capital expenditure for the Third Production Unit.
