                principal acted in good faith and without Breach of Duty in
                relation to the matters in respect of which the indemnity is

                this Clause 6.

6.3     For the purposes of Clause 6.2.1 it shall not be considered a Breach of
        Duty by an Indemnified Person to the extent that such Breach of Duty

                incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate information;

        6.3.2   any Breach of Duty by any other party to the Transaction; or

        6.3.3   any action taken by WTSS at the request of a Company or the Note
                Trustee in relation to the Transaction.

6.4     If an Indemnified Person becomes aware of a matter which does or might
        give rise to a right to an indemnity under Clause 6.1 (a "CLAIM"), it
        shall:

        6.4.1   promptly after becoming aware notify the relevant Company in
                writing of the Claim (an "INDEMNITY NOTICE") stating in
                reasonable detail:

                (a)     the nature of the Claim and the level of Liabilities
                        incurred or likely to be incurred; and

                (b)     any claims to an indemnity, contribution or otherwise
                        which it has or may have against any other Person in
                        respect of the Claim; and

        6.4.2   promptly provide any documents, information or other assistance
                in relation to the Claim which the relevant Company reasonably
                request at any time until the Claim is resolved.

6.5     Within 15 working days of receipt of an Indemnity Notice, the relevant
        Company shall state in writing whether, subject to continuing compliance
        with this Clause 6, it will provisionally indemnify the Indemnified
        Person in respect of the Claim set out in the Indemnity Notice.

6.6     If the relevant Company states in writing that, subject to continuing
        compliance with this Clause 6, it will provisionally indemnify the
        Indemnified Person in respect of a Claim set out in an Indemnity Notice
        (an "INDEMNIFIED CLAIM"), the Indemnified Person shall not take any
        steps with regard to the Indemnified Claim without first fully
        consulting the relevant Company and shall take all steps the relevant
        Company reasonably requests in order to:

                                     - 5 -


        6.6.1   mitigate, defend or compromise the Claim including, without
                limitation, through the appointment of lawyers, responding to
                regulatory or investigative enquiries, the issue of legal
                proceedings, the defence of legal or regulatory action,
                mediation or the lodging of appeals; and

        6.6.2   enforce any rights to an indemnity, contribution or otherwise
                which the Indemnified Person has or may have against any other
                Person in respect of the Claim.

        The relevant Company may by notice in writing withdraw a provisional
        indemnity given under Clause 6.4 if, in its absolute discretion, it
        considers in the light of the information then available to it that it
        is unlikely that the Indemnified Person is entitled to an indemnity in
        respect if an Indemnified Claim, in which case the Claim will cease to
        be an Indemnified Claim.

6.7     An Indemnified Person shall not settle or do anything which might
        compromise its ability to contest a Claim in respect of:

        6.7.1   a Claim before the relevant Company has responded in accordance
                with Clause 6.4 above or

        6.7.2   an Indemnified Claim

        without first obtaining the written consent of the relevant Company
        (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

6.8     The relevant Company shall meet all reasonable expenses and liabilities
        reasonably incurred in defending an Indemnified Claim in advance of its
        final resolution upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified
        Person that it will repay the amounts advanced, together with interest,
        at the rate specified in Clause 9.4, from the date of payment by the
        relevant Company to the date of repayment, if it is ultimately
        determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified
        by the relevant Company under Clause 6.1.

6.9     All payments the relevant Company is obliged to make under this Clause 6
        shall be made on the first Interest Payment Date falling more than 15
        working days after receipt by the relevant Company of notification in
        writing of the sum which the Indemnified Person requests payment of
        together with reasonable details of the nature and amount of the
        payment.
