(c) If the Calculation Agent at any time and for any reason does
not determine the Interest Rate or calculate the Interest for
the Class A Notes, the Manager shall do so and each such
determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been made
by the Calculation Agent. In doing so, the Manager shall apply
the provisions of this clause 6, with any necessary
consequential amendments, to the extent that, in its opinion,
it can do so, and, in all other respects it shall do so in
such a manner as it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23.1 GENERAL
Clause 30 of the Master Trust Deed applies to the obligations and
liabilities of the Trustee and the Manager under this agreement.
23.2 LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE LIMITED TO ITS RIGHT TO INDEMNITY
(a) The Trustee enters into this agreement only in its capacity as
trustee of the Trust and in no other capacity (except where
the Transaction Documents provide otherwise). Subject to
paragraph (c) below, a liability arising under or in
connection with this agreement or the Trust can be enforced
against the Trustee only to the extent to which it can be
satisfied out of the assets and property of the Trust which
are available to satisfy the right of the Trustee to be
exonerated or indemnified for the liability. This limitation
of the Trustee's liability applies despite any other provision
of this agreement and extends to all liabilities and
obligations of the Trustee in any way connected with any
representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or
transaction related to this agreement or the Trust.
(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, no person (including any
Relevant Party) may take action against the Trustee in any
capacity other than as trustee of the Trust or seek the
appointment of a receiver (except under the Security Trust
Deed), or a liquidator, an administrator or any similar person
to the Trustee or prove in any liquidation, administration or
arrangement of or affecting the Trustee.
(c) The provisions of this clause 23.2 shall not apply to any
obligation or liability of the Trustee to the extent that it
is not satisfied because under a Transaction Document or by
operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the
Trustee's indemnification or exoneration out of the Assets of
the Trust as a result of the Trustee's fraud, negligence, or
Default.
(d) It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are responsible
under this agreement or the other Transaction Documents for
performing a variety of obligations relating to the Trust. No
act or omission of the Trustee (including any related failure
to satisfy its obligations under this agreement) will be
considered fraud, negligence or Default of the Trustee for the
purpose of paragraph (c) above to the extent to which the act
or omission was caused or contributed to by any failure by any
Relevant Party or any person who has been delegated or
appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the Transaction
Documents to fulfil its obligations relating to the Trust or
by any other act or omission of a Relevant Party or any such
person.
(e) In exercising their powers under the Transaction Documents,
each of the Trustee, the Security Trustee and the Class A
Noteholders must ensure that no attorney, agent, delegate,
receiver or receiver and manager appointed by it in accordance
with this agreement or any other Transaction Documents has
authority to act on behalf of the Trustee in a way which
exposes the Trustee to any personal liability and no act or
omission of any such person will be considered fraud,
negligence, or Default of the Trustee for the purpose of
paragraph (c) above.

this agreement by any party;
(b) obtaining declaratory relief; or
(c) in relation to its rights under the Security Trust Deed.

damages by the Trustee;

the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cth) (or any analogous provision
under any other law) against the Trustee;
