the agent of the Issuer in its capacity as trustee of the Series
Trust only.
(b) (ISSUER NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AGENTS): Notwithstanding any other
provision contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or at law, the Issuer in its personal capacity is not
responsible for any act or omission of any Agent.
11.2 AGENCY
Subject to any other provision of this Agreement, each Agent acts
solely for and as agent of the Issuer and does not have any obligations
towards or relationship of agency or trust with any person entitled to
receive payments of principal and/or interest on the Offshore Notes and
is responsible only for the performance of the duties and obligations
imposed on it pursuant to clause 11.6.
11.3 RELIANCE
Each Agent is protected and will incur no liability for or in respect
of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in reliance upon any
instruction, request or order from the Issuer or the Manager or in
reliance upon any Offshore Note or upon any notice, resolution,
direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
delivered, signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
11.4 ENTITLED TO DEAL
An Agent is not precluded from acquiring, holding or dealing in any
Offshore Notes or from engaging or being interested in any contract or
other financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the Manager as

and in no event whatsoever (other than fraud, wilful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith) will any Agent be liable to account to the

costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) incurred by
that Agent in the enforcement of any obligations under this Agreement.
Nothing in this clause 12.2 entitles or permits an Agent to be
reimbursed or indemnified for general overhead costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, rents and any amounts payable by that

with this Agreement.
12.4 PAYMENT OF FEES
The above fees, payments and expenses will be paid in United States
dollars. The Issuer will in addition pay any value added tax which may
be applicable. The Principal Paying Agent will arrange for payment of
commissions to the other Paying Agents and arrange for the
21

evidence of that expenditure, and provided that payment is made as
required by clause 12.1 the Issuer will not be concerned with or liable
in respect of that payment.

fee in relation to any payment by it under this Agreement.

entitled to be indemnified from the Assets of the Series Trust with
respect to such fees or value added taxes provided that if The Bank of
New York or The Bank of New York, London Branch resigns or is removed
as an Agent the Issuer will only be liable to pay the fees referred to
in clause 12.1, and any value added tax on such fees, from its own
personal funds to the extent that such fees and value added tax do not
exceed the amount that would have been payable to The Bank of New York
or The Bank of New York, London Branch, as the case may be, if it had
remained as that Agent. The balance of such fees and value added tax,
if any, will be an Expense for which the Issuer is entitled to be
indemnified from the Assets of the Series Trust in accordance with the
Series Supplement.

fraudulent, negligent or a wilful default for the purposes of clause

contributed to by any failure by any Relevant Party or any other person
appointed by the Issuer under any Transaction Document (other than a
person whose acts or omissions the Issuer is liable for in accordance
with any Transaction Document) to fulfil its obligations relating to
the Series Trust or by any other act or omission of a Relevant Party or
any other such person.
14.5 NO AUTHORITY
