Subject: Dabhol -- A Brief Legal Update

Gentlemen -

A few updates:

We hope to file the petition on Monday in the Bombay High Court seeking
a ruling that the MERC does not have jurisdiction over the PPA and the
current disputes between MSEB and Dabhol Power Company.

The Dabhol lenders have planned 3 days of meetings in Singapore this
coming week and we will attend these meetings. Our lenders seem to be
increasingly nervous. They may try to cure the construction contract
defaults (over $30 million would be required in mid-June). While we do
not relish having the construction contracts fall away, we do not
believe that funding is prudent at this point. MSEB has torn up the PPA
and stated that it will not cooperate with Phase II power station
testing, the only real remaining function under the power plant
construction contract.

A few insolvency/creditors' rights lawyers from Skadden will be here on
Wednesday to discuss Dabhol creditor remedies and possible DPC defenses
(both in India and the U.S.). A lawyer from Susman Godfrey is scheduled
to join us at that meeting.
