            (b)         enter into arrangements for the provision of guarantees or indemnities.

        (3)         If a trust defaults in carrying out its obligations under a debenture charged on revenue arising from water supply or drainage charges, the Supreme Court may, on the application of a creditor or a trustee for debenture holders—

            (a)         —

                  (i)         direct the trust to appropriate a specified portion of its revenue to the satisfaction of its obligations under the debenture; or
