  (i)

the Senior Security Trustee’s liability (including for negligence) to parties other than the Senior Creditors is limited to the extent it can be satisfied out of the assets of the Security Trust. The Senior Security Trustee need not pay any such liability out of other assets;

(B) exercise rights and remedies with respect to Senior Security Trust assets, including set-off;

  (c)

Paragraphs (a) and (b) apply despite any other provision in this deed but do not apply with respect to any liability of the Senior Security Trustee to another party (including for negligence):

 

  (i)

to the extent that the Senior Security Trustee has no right or power to have Senior Security Trust assets applied towards satisfaction of that liability, or its right or power to do so is subject to a deduction, reduction, limit or requirement to make good, in either case because the Senior Security Trustee’s behaviour was beyond power or improper in relation to the Security Trust; and

 

  (ii)

under any provision which expressly binds the Senior Security Trustee other than as trustee of the Senior Security Trust (whether or not it also binds it as trustee of the Senior Security Trust).

  (i)

whether amounts are to be regarded as payable (and for this purpose damages or other amounts will be regarded as a payable if they would have been owed had a suit or action barred under paragraph (b)(ii) been brought);

 

  (ii)

the calculation of amounts owing; or

 

   
Intercreditor Deed    Page 12

whether a breach or default has occurred,

but any resulting liability will be subject to the limitations in this clause.

 

  (e)

To the extent permitted by law, each party releases the Senior Security Trustee, and its officers, employees, agents and delegates, from liability of any type to it under or in connection with this deed or any other document to which the Senior Security Trustee is a party in the role of Security Trustee or any related transaction or past or future conduct (including omissions), except to the extent that the Beneficiary suffers a loss, liability or cost directly as a result of fraud, gross negligence or wilful default by the Senior Security Trustee or any officer, employee, agent or delegate.
