19.        PERPETUAL'S LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

           (a)       Perpetual enters into this agreement only in its capacity
                     as trustee of each Trust and in no other capacity. A
                     liability arising under or in connection with this
                     agreement can be enforced against Perpetual only to the
                     extent to which it can be satisfied out of property of the
                     relevant Trust out of which Perpetual is actually
                     indemnified for the liability. This limitation of
                     Perpetual's liability applies despite any other provision
                     of this agreement and extends to all liabilities and
                     obligations of Perpetual in any way connected with any
                     representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or
                     transaction related to this agreement.

            (b)      The parties, other than Perpetual, may not sue Perpetual in
                     any capacity other than as trustee of the relevant Trust,
                     including seek the appointment of a receiver (except in
                     relation to property of the Trust) a liquidator, an
                     administrator or any similar person to Perpetual or prove
                     in any liquidation, administration or arrangement of or
                     affecting Perpetual (except in relation to property of the
                     Trust).

            (c)      The provisions of this clause 19 shall not apply to any
                     obligation or liability of Perpetual to the extent that it
                     is not satisfied because, under the trust deeds
                     establishing the Trusts or by operation of law, there is a
                     reduction in the extent of Perpetual's indemnification out
                     of the assets of the Trusts as a result of Perpetual's
                     fraud, negligence or breach of trust. For these purposes,
                     it is agreed that Perpetual cannot be regarded as being
                     fraudulent, negligent or in breach of






                                       10


                     trust to the extent to which any failure by Perpetual to
                     satisfy its obligations under this agreement has been
                     caused or contributed to by a failure by the Manger or any
                     other person to fulfil its obligations in relation to the
                     Trusts or any other act or omission of that Manager or any
                     other person.

20.        TERMINATION OF PREVIOUS BACKUP SERVICER AGREEMENT

           In accordance with clause 10 of the Previous Backup Servicer
           Agreement, Perpetual and ISS hereby give notice to KPMG that the
           Previous Backup Servicer Agreement is terminated with effect from the
           date hereof provided that:

           (a)       ISS shall pay any outstanding 'Backup Servicer Standby Fee'
                     as defined in the Previous Backup Servicer Agreement to
                     KPMG for the period until the date of termination; and

           (b)       notwithstanding the provisions of clause 10(b) of the
                     Previous Backup Servicer Agreement, KPMG shall be entitled
                     to retain all books, records, accounts and other
                     information of whatever nature held by KPMG in relation to
                     the Trusts so as to enable KPMG to fulfil its duties and
                     obligations under the new Backup Servicer Agreement
                     constituted herein.
