2.1  Initial Trust Property: The Mortgages Trustee hereby declares itself as
     trustee of the Trust Property, being, upon execution of this Deed, the sum
     of (GBP)100 (one hundred pounds) (the "Initial Trust Property") which sum
     shall be held on trust by the Mortgages Trustee absolutely as to both
     capital and income for the benefit, as tenants in common (holding undivided
     beneficial interests), of the Seller as to the Initial Seller Share
     Percentage and Funding as to the Initial Funding Share Percentage. The
     Initial Trust Property shall be held by the Mortgages Trustee on the
     Mortgages Trust upon due execution of this Deed by all parties to it.

2.2  Closing Trust Property: Pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Sale
     Agreement, the Seller intends to sell and assign the Initial Mortgage
     Portfolio to the Mortgages Trustee on the Initial Closing Date, which
     Initial Mortgage Portfolio including all related rights and benefits shall
     form part of the Trust Property (the "Closing Trust Property").

2.3  New Trust Property: From time to time and pursuant to the Mortgage Sale
     Agreement, the Seller intends to sell and assign New Mortgage Portfolios to
     the Mortgages Trustee, which New Mortgage Portfolios including all related
     rights and benefits shall form part of the Trust Property (the "New Trust
     Property").

2.4  Other Trust Property:

     (a)  In accordance with this Deed, from time to time Funding and the Seller
          shall, subject to and in accordance with Clause 4 (Consideration),
          Clause 5 (Increasing the Seller Share of the Trust Property) and/or
          Clause 6 (Increasing the Funding Share of the Trust Property) provide
          consideration to the Mortgages Trustee in the form of Contributions to
          be applied by the Mortgages Trustee as set out in this Deed. Any

<PAGE>

          Contribution so provided to the Mortgages Trustee shall, on receipt by
          the Mortgages Trustee and until it has been applied by the Mortgages
          Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Deed, form part of the
          Trust Property.

     (b)  Any Re-draws made under a Flexible Mortgage Loan which is included in
          the Trust Property will form part of the Trust Property.

     (c)  Amounts on deposit (and interest earned on such amounts) from time to
          time in the Mortgages Trustee Bank Accounts will form part of the
          Trust Property.

     (d)  (If the Seller subsequently decides to retain any Mortgage Loan which
          is the subject of a Further Advance within the Trust Property and/or
          to sell and assign the Further Advance to the Mortgages Trustee in
          accordance with the Mortgage Sale Agreement) any Further Advance made
          in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the Trust Property will also form
          part of the Trust Property.

     (e)  Any Permitted Replacement Mortgage Loan and its Related Security
          (including the rights under any related MIG Policy and other insurance
          policies arranged by the Seller, but excluding any Early Repayment
          Charge Receipts paid to the Seller) relating to a Permitted Product
          Switch effected in relation to a Mortgage Loan which forms part of the
          Trust Property will also form part of the Trust Property.

     (f)  The proceeds of sale of any Mortgage Loan and its Related Security
          forming part of the Trust Property pursuant to the Mortgage Sale
          Agreement or other proceeds of sale of any Trust Property will form
          part of the Trust Property.

     (g)  Any Further Draws under a Personal Secured Loan which is included in
          the Trust Property will also form part of the Trust Property.

2.5  Payments of Early Repayment Charges: Subject to and in accordance with the
     Mortgage Sale Agreement, the Mortgages Trustee will agree to pay to the
     Seller any Early Repayment Charge Receipts received by the Mortgage Trustee
     in respect of any Mortgage Loan included in the Initial Mortgage Portfolio
     or any New Mortgage Portfolio which the Seller sells and assigns to the
     Mortgages Trustee. Upon any such payment to the Seller, the benefit of such
     Early Repayment Charges will no longer form part of the Trust Property.

          Agreement) those funds which, were it not for such set-off, would have
          been payable to Funding as the Relevant Distribution;

     (c)  unless Funding has given notice to each relevant Previous Issuer of
          its intention to use the proceeds of a New Intercompany Loan to repay

          Manager on its behalf shall pay) the Initial Consideration payable to
          the Seller in accordance with Clause 6.3 (Initial Consideration); and

          Manager on its behalf shall, pay such funds to the Seller in
          satisfaction of the Mortgages Trustee's obligation to make payment of
          the Initial Purchase Price or, as the case may be, Deferred Purchase

<PAGE>

     (b)  If the Mortgages Trustee receives a Further Contribution from any
          Beneficiary, the parties hereto direct the Mortgages Trustee to, and
          the Mortgages Trustee covenants that it shall, or shall procure that
          the Cash Manager on its behalf shall, distribute such funds to a
          Beneficiary or the Beneficiaries as required at the time and in the
          manner and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Deed.

5.   Increasing and Decreasing the Seller Share of the Trust Property

5.1  Re-draws under Flexible Mortgage Loans:

     (a)  If, in respect of any Flexible Mortgage Loan which is in the Trust
          Property, the relevant Borrower requests a Cash Re-draw and the
          Administrator (on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee) grants such request
          pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Administration
          Agreement, the Seller as Beneficiary shall fund that Cash Re-draw in
          the Mortgages Trust by making payment to the Borrower, in accordance
          with the terms and conditions of the relevant Mortgage Loan, of the
          Cash Re-draw Amount. Upon payment by the Seller to the relevant
          Borrower of the Cash Re-draw Amount, the aggregate Current Balance of
          the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property and the amount of
          the Seller Share of the Trust Property shall be increased by an amount
          equal to the Cash Re-draw Amount.

     (b)  If, in respect of any Flexible Mortgage Loan which is in the Trust
          Property, the relevant Borrower requests a Non-Cash Re-draw and the
          Administrator grants such request or the Administrator otherwise
          permits the relevant Borrower to take a Non-Cash Re-draw pursuant to
          and in accordance with the terms of the Administration Agreement, the
          Seller as Beneficiary shall fund such Non-Cash Re-draw in the
          Mortgages Trust by making payment to the Mortgages Trustee of a
          Further Contribution in an amount equal to the Unpaid Interest Amount
          in respect of such Non-Cash Re-draw. Upon payment by the Seller to the
          Mortgages Trustee of such Further Contribution, the aggregate Current
          Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property and the
          Seller Share of the Trust Property shall be increased by an amount
          equal to the amount of the Further Contribution so made to the
          Mortgages Trustee. The parties agree that any such Further
          Contribution received by the Mortgages Trustee from the Seller will be
          treated as Revenue Receipts and will be distributed to the
          Beneficiaries on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date in
          accordance with Clause 10 (Distribution of Revenue Receipts) below.

5.2  Further Advances: If at a future date the Seller elects not to purchase any
     Mortgage Loan


                                       8
<PAGE>

     which becomes the subject of a Further Advance from the Mortgages Trustee,
     the Seller will be solely responsible for funding any such Further Advance
     and, subject to the provisions of this Deed, upon the making of such
     Further Advance by the Seller, the aggregate Current Balance of the
     Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property and the Seller Share of the
     Trust Property shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of the
     Further Advance paid to the relevant Borrower.

5.3  Together Connections Mortgage Loans and Connections Mortgage Loans: If, in
     respect of any Together Connections Mortgage Loan or any Connections
     Mortgage Loan which is in the Trust Property, there has been a reduction in
     the outstanding balance of such Mortgage Loan from the relevant Borrower
     being allocated a portion of the Together Connections Mortgage Benefit or
     Connections Benefit (as the case may be) under such Mortgage Loan, the
     aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust
     Property and the amount of the Seller Share of the Trust Property shall be
     decreased by an amount equal to the portion of the Together Connections
     Benefit or Connections Benefit (as the case may be) allocated to such
     Mortgage Loan.

5.4  Further Draws under Personal Secured Loans: If, in respect of any Personal
     Secured Loan in the Trust Property which permits Further Draws, the
     relevant Borrower requests a Further Draw and the Administrator grants such
     request, the Seller will as Beneficiary fund such Further Draw in the
     Mortgages Trust by making payment to the Borrower of the Further Draw in
     accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant Personal Secured
     Loan. Upon payment by the Seller to the relevant Borrower of such Further
     Draw, the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the
     Trust Property and the amount of the Seller Share of the Trust Property
     shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of the Further Draw
     paid to the relevant Borrower.

6.   Increasing the Funding Share of the Trust Property

6.1  Conditions precedent: Subject as provided below, Funding may increase the
     Funding Share (as defined in Clause 7.1 (Initial Funding Share) below) of
     the Trust Property, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions

<PAGE>

     (c)  the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing to the Mortgages
          Trustee, the Security Trustee and each Issuer that the proposed
          increase in the Funding Share of the Trust Property would not
          adversely affect the then-current ratings by the Rating Agencies (or
          any of them) of the Notes issued by any Issuer;

     (d)  the New Notes have been issued by the New Issuer, the subscription
          proceeds received on behalf of such New Issuer and advanced by such
          Issuer to Funding pursuant to an Intercompany Loan Agreement (which
          proceeds Funding will pay to the Mortgages Trustee to increase the
          Funding Share of the Trust Property on the relevant date in accordance
          with Clause 6.2 (Completion));

     (e)  if necessary, each Issuer, including any New Issuer (if any) has
          entered into appropriate hedging arrangements;

     (f)  as of the last day of the immediately preceding Trust Calculation
          Period the aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in the Trust

          Loans in the Trust Property at such time unless the Rating Agencies
          have confirmed that the then-current ratings of the Notes will not be
          adversely affected;

     (g)  as of the last day of the immediately preceding Trust Calculation
          Period the weighted average LTV ratio of Mortgage Loans in the Trust
          Property (after application of the LTV Test) on such date does not
          exceed the LTV ratio (based on the LTV Test) of Mortgage Loans in the
          Trust Property on the Initial Closing Date plus 0.25 per cent.;

     (h)  each Issuer Reserve Fund is fully funded on the relevant date up to
          the relevant Issuer Reserve Required Amount; and

     (i)  as at the most recent Payment Date no deficiency was recorded on the
          Issuer Principal Deficiency Ledger of any Issuer,

     provided always that Funding shall not be entitled to increase the Funding
     Share after the Payment Date falling in January 2008 if the option to
     redeem the First Issuer Notes on the Payment Date in January 2008 pursuant
     Condition 5 of the First Issuer Notes is not exercised.

6.2  Completion: Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in
     Clause 6.1 (Conditions precedent) above, Funding shall pay to the Mortgages
     Trustee the consideration for such increase in the Funding Share in

     received by the Mortgages Trustee from Funding in payment of a Further
     Contribution in accordance with Clause 4 (Consideration) on any date on
     which Funding increases the Funding Share of the Trust Property shall be
     allocable and payable by the Mortgages Trustee to the Seller (in its
     capacity as a Beneficiary of the Mortgages Trust) as an Initial
     Consideration on such date whether or not such date is a Distribution Date.
     Any such Initial Consideration shall reduce the Seller Share of the Trust
     Property by the amount of the Initial Consideration.

7.1  Initial Funding Share: The "Initial Funding Share" of the Trust Property
     shall be (GBP)86.61 at the date of this Deed and (GBP)1,500,000,000 at the

     the Initial Funding Share expressed as a percentage of the Trust Property
     at such date, that is to say, 86.61 per cent. References herein to the

     Initial Funding Share and thereafter shall mean the Current Funding Share
     (as defined below).

7.2  Initial Seller Share: The "Initial Seller Share" of the Trust Property
     shall be the sum which remains of the Trust Property after deduction of the
     Initial Funding Share. The Initial Seller Share of the Trust Property will

     13.39 per cent. The amount of the Initial Seller Share and the Initial
     Seller Share Percentage on the Initial Closing will be determined
     immediately after the Initial Closing Date. References herein to the
     "Seller Share" shall mean, prior to the first Distribution Date, the
     Initial Seller Share and thereafter shall mean the Current Seller Share (as
     defined below).

7.3  Rounding of percentage shares: Except for the Initial Closing Date on which
     the Funding Share Percentage and the Seller Share Percentage shall be
     calculated to two decimal places, and unless otherwise agreed by the
     Beneficiaries, the Current Funding Share Percentage and the Current Seller
     Share Percentage shall be calculated to five decimal places.

8.   Adjustment of Funding Share Percentage and Seller Share Percentage

8.1  Effective Periods:

     (a)  Subject to Clause 8.1(b) below, the Cash Manager will (on behalf of
          the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries) recalculate the Funding
          Share, the Funding Share

                                       11
<PAGE>
          Percentage, the Seller Share and the Seller Share Percentage in
          respect of each Trust Calculation Period on the Distribution Date
          occurring in such Trust Calculation Period, based on the aggregate
          Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property
          (as adjusted from time to time) on the last day of the Trust
          Calculation Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date.

     (b)  Notwithstanding Clause 8.1(a) above, if during any Trust Calculation
          Period the Seller sells and assigns New Mortgage Loans to the
          Mortgages Trustee or if Funding pays a Further Contribution to the
          Mortgages Trustee to increase the Funding Share of the Trust Property,
          the recalculation of the Funding Share, the Funding Share Percentage,
          the Seller Share and the Seller Share Percentage made by the Cash
          Manager on the Distribution Date occurring in such Trust Calculation
          Period will be effective only in respect of the period beginning on
          (and including) the first day of such Trust Calculation Period and
          ending on (but excluding) the first Assignment Date or Funding
          Contribution Date, as applicable, to occur during such Trust
          Calculation Period (such period in respect of such Distribution Date,
          an "Interim Calculation Period"), based on the aggregate Current
          Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property (as
          adjusted from time to time) on the last day of the Trust Calculation
          Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date.

     (c)  In addition to the foregoing, if during any Trust Calculation Period
          the Seller sells and assigns New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages
          Trustee or if Funding pays a Further Contribution to the Mortgages
          Trustee to increase the Funding Share of the Trust Property, the Cash
          Manager will (on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee and the
          Beneficiaries) recalculate the Funding Share, the Funding Share
          Percentage, the Seller Share and the Seller Share Percentage on such
          Assignment Date or Funding Contribution Date, as applicable, in
          respect of the period beginning on (and including) such Assignment
          Date or Funding Contribution Date, as applicable, and ending on the
          last day of such Trust Calculation Period (and including such last day
          of such Trust Calculation Period) (each such period in respect of each
          Assignment Date or Funding Contribution Date, as applicable, an
          "Interim Calculation Period"), based on the aggregate Current Balance
          of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property (as adjusted
          from time to time) on such Assignment Date or Funding Contribution
          Date, as applicable.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Mortgage Sale Agreement provides that
(a) the Seller may not sell and assign New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages
Trustee during any Trust Calculation


                                       12

Period prior to the Distribution Date in such Trust Calculation Period, and (b)
the Seller may only make one sale and assignment of New Mortgage Loans to the
Mortgages Trustee during any Trust Calculation Period.

8.2  Current Funding Share Percentage:

     (a)  On each Distribution Date (the "Relevant Distribution Date"), the
          "Current Funding Share Percentage" will be calculated by the Cash
          Manager in respect of the then-current Trust Calculation Period or
          related Interim Calculation Period, as applicable, for the purpose of
          calculating the distributions to be made from the Trust Property on
          the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, and such Current Funding
          Share Percentage will be an amount, expressed as a percentage
          (calculated to an accuracy of five decimal places (rounded upwards)),
          equal to:

                                    A-B-C+D
                                    ------- x 100

               such Relevant Distribution Date in accordance with the provisions
               described in Clause 11 (Distribution of Principal Receipts)
               below;

     C    =    the amount of any Losses sustained on the Mortgage Loans during
               the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding such Relevant
               Distribution Date and the amount of any reductions occurring in
               respect of the Mortgage Loans as described in paragraphs (a)

               the distribution to be made on such Relevant Distribution Date,
               or (c) in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Initial
               Funding Share Percentage);

     D    =    an amount equal to any Capitalised Arrears which have been
               allocated to Funding during the Trust Calculation Period
               immediately preceding such Relevant Distribution Date (based on
               the Funding Share Percentage thereof calculated on the
               Distribution Date immediately preceding such Relevant
               Distribution Date or, in the case of the first Distribution Date,
               the Initial Funding Share Percentage);

     G    =    the amount of the Mortgages Trustee Retained Principal Receipts
               (if any) plus the aggregate Current Balance of all the Mortgage
               Loans in the Trust Property as at the last day of the Trust
               Calculation Period immediately preceding such Relevant
               Distribution Date or, if applicable, on the relevant Assignment
               Date or Funding Contribution Date, after making the
               distributions, allocations and additions referred to in (B), (C)
               and (D) above and after taking account of the following (being
               "Trust Property Calculation Adjustments") (i) any distribution of
               Principal Receipts to the Seller and to Funding, (ii) the amount
               of any Losses allocated to the Seller and to Funding, (iii) the

               8.5 (Adjustments to Trust Property) (inclusive) below; (iv) the
               amount of any other additions to or removals from the Trust
               Property during such Trust Calculation Period, including without
               limitation, any additions to the Trust Property resulting from
               Cash Re-draws, Non-Cash Redraws and Further Draws by Borrowers

               (if the Seller subsequently elects not to repurchase Mortgage
               Loans which are the subject of Further Advances from the
               Mortgages Trustee) Further Advances sold and assigned by the
               Seller; but excluding the addition of mortgage loans on an
               Assignment Date and any

               Benefit and Connections Benefit, respectively under such Mortgage
               Loans.

     (b)  If during any Trust Calculation Period the Seller sells and assigns
          New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages Trustee, the Cash Manager will
          recalculate the Current Funding Share Percentage on each such
          Assignment Date which is not also a Funding Contribution Date (the
          "Relevant Assignment Date") in respect of the related Interim
          Calculation Period, for the purposes of calculating the distributions
          to be made from the Trust Property on the immediately succeeding
          Distribution Date and determining the amount of losses to be allocated
          to Funding, and such Current Funding Share Percentage will be an
          amount, expressed as a percentage (calculated to an accuracy of five
          decimal places (rounded upwards)), equal to:

         where,

     A    =    the Current Funding Share as calculated on the Distribution Date
               immediately preceding such Relevant Assignment Date;

     E    =    an amount equal to any Initial Contribution paid by Funding to
               the Mortgages Trustee on such Relevant Assignment Date in
               relation to the Funding Share of any New Mortgage Loans assigned
               to the Mortgages Trustee on such Relevant Assignment Date (which
               amount the Mortgages Trustee is required pursuant to Clause 4.3
               (Application by Mortgages Trustee) to pay to the Seller in
               satisfaction of the Mortgages Trustee's obligation to pay to the
               Seller the Initial Purchase Price in respect of New Mortgage
               Loans sold and assigned to the Mortgages Trustee on such Relevant
               Assignment Date); and

     H    =    the amount of the Mortgages Trustee Retained Principal Receipts
               (if any), plus the aggregate Current Balance of all the Mortgage
               Loans in the Trust Property as at the Distribution Date
               immediately preceding such Relevant Assignment Date (after making
               the distributions, allocations and additions on that preceding
               Distribution Date), plus the aggregate Current Balance of the New
               Mortgage Loans sold and

               Date and after taking account of Trust Property Calculation
               Adjustments.

     (c)  If during any Trust Calculation Period Funding pays a Further
          Contribution to the Mortgages Trustee to increase the Funding Share of
          the Trust Property, the Cash Manager will recalculate the Current
          Funding Share Percentage on each such Funding Contribution Date (the
          "Relevant Funding Contribution Date") in respect of the related
          Interim Calculation Period, for the purposes of calculating the
          distributions to be made from the Trust Property and determining the
          amount of losses to be allocated to Funding on the immediately
          succeeding Distribution Date, and such Current Funding Share
          Percentage will be an amount, expressed as a percentage (calculated to
          an accuracy of five decimal places (rounded upwards)), equal to:

                                A+E+F

         where,

     A    =    the Current Funding Share as calculated on the Distribution Date
               immediately preceding such Relevant Funding Contribution Date;

     E    =    (1) if that Relevant Funding Contribution Date is also an
               Assignment Date, the amount of any Initial Contribution paid by
               Funding to the Mortgages Trustee on that Funding Contribution
               Date in respect of the Funding Share of any New Trust Property,
               and (2) in all other cases, zero;

     F    =    an amount equal to any Further Contribution paid by Funding to
               the Mortgages Trustee on such Relevant Funding Contribution Date
               to increase Funding's beneficial interest in the Trust Property;
               and

     J    =    the amount of the Mortgages Trustee Retained Principal Receipts
               (if any) plus the aggregate Current Balance of all the Mortgage
               Loans in the Trust Property as at the Distribution Date
               immediately preceding such Relevant Funding Contribution Date
               (after making the distributions, allocations and additions on
               that preceding Distribution Date) plus the aggregate Current
               Balance of the New Mortgage Loans sold and assigned to the
               Mortgages Trustee on that Relevant Assignment Date and after
               taking account of Trust Property Calculation Adjustments.

8.3  Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage: On any Distribution Date in
     respect to which


                                       16
<PAGE>

     (i) the Seller had sold and assigned New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages
     Trustee, or (ii) Funding had paid a Further Contribution to the Mortgages
     Trustee to increase the Funding Share of the Trust Property, during the
     Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date, the
     Cash Manager (on behalf of the Beneficiaries) will calculate (for the sole
     purpose of making the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date)
     the weighted average of the Current Funding Share Percentages that were
     calculated previously in respect of each Interim Calculation Period
     occurring in such immediately preceding Trust Calculation Period based on
     the amount of Revenue Receipts and Principal Receipts received and Losses
     sustained during each such Interim Calculation Period. The "Weighted
     Average Funding Share Percentage" for any such Distribution Date will be
     equal to:

     (a)  in respect of the distribution of Revenue Receipts to be made on such
          Distribution Date, an amount determined in accordance with the formula
          set forth below:

                                   (AxB)+(CxD)

     where,

     A    =    the related Current Funding Share Percentage for Interim
               Calculation Period 1;

               Period 2; and

     D    =    the number of days in Interim Calculation Period 2 divided by the
               number of days in the Trust Calculation Period;

     (b)  in respect of the distribution of Principal Receipts to be made on
          such Distribution Date, an amount determined in accordance with the
          formula set forth below:

                                   (AxB)+(CxD)

     where,

     A    =    the related Current Funding Share Percentage for Interim
               Calculation Period 1;

               Period 2; and

     D    =    the number of days in Interim Calculation 2 Period divided by the
               number of days in the Trust Calculation Period;

     (c)  in respect of the allocation of Losses to be made on such Distribution
          Date, an amount determined in accordance with the formula set forth
          below:

                                (A x B) + (C x D)

     where,

     A    =    the Related Current Funding Share Percentage for Interim
               Calculation Period 1;

     B    =    the number of days in Interim Calculation Period 1 divided by the
               number of days in the Trust Calculation Period;

     C    =    the related Funding Share Percentage for Interim Calculation
               Period 2; and

     D    =    the number of days in Interim Calculation Period 2 divided by the
               number of days in the Trust Calculation Period;

8.4  Current Funding Share:

     (a)  On each Distribution Date, the "Current Funding Share" will be
          calculated by the Cash Manager in respect of the then-current Trust
          Calculation Period or the related Interim Calculation Period, as
          applicable, and will be an amount equal to:

                                  A - B - C + D

          where "A", "B", "C" and "D" have the meanings specified in Clause
          8.2(a) above.

     (b)  On each Assignment Date (which is not also a Funding Contribution
          Date), the Current Funding Share will be calculated by the Cash
          Manager in respect of the related Interim Calculation Period and will
          be an amount equal to:

                                     A + E

          where "A" and "E" have the meanings specified in Clause 8.2(b) above.

     (c)  On each Funding Contribution Date, the Current Funding Share will be
          calculated by the Cash Manager in respect of the related Interim
          Calculation Period and will be an amount equal to:

                                   A + E + F

          where "A", "E" and "F" have the meanings specified in Clause 8.2(c)
          above.

8.5  Adjustments to Trust Property: If any of the following events has occurred
     during a Trust Calculation Period, then (subject to the Cash Manager
     receiving notice or otherwise being aware of the occurrence of the event)
     for the purposes of making the Trust Property Calculation Adjustments, the
     aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust
     Property shall be reduced or, as the case may be, deemed to be reduced:

     (a)  any Borrower exercises a right of set-off in relation to any Mortgage
          Loan in the Trust Property so that the amount of principal and/or
          interest owing under such Mortgage Loan is reduced but no
          corresponding payment is received by the Mortgages Trustee, in which
          event the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting
          the Trust Property shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount
          so set-off by such Borrower; and/or

     (b)  a Mortgage Loan or (as applicable) its Related Security (i) is in
          breach of the Representations and Warranties in the Mortgage Sale
          Agreement as at the Initial Closing Date or, as the case may be, the
          relevant Assignment Date or (ii) is the subject of a Product Switch or
          a Further Advance or in respect of which the Borrower has accepted an
          offer by the Seller of a Personal Secured Loan in respect of which the
          Seller has elected to purchase the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
          Loans and Related Security, and in the case of (i) above the Seller
          fails to repurchase and in the case of (ii) above the Seller fails to
          purchase, the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans under the
          relevant Mortgage Account and their Related Security as required by
          the terms of the Mortgage Sale Agreement; in which event the aggregate
          Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property
          shall be deemed to be reduced for the purposes of making the Trust
          Property Calculation Adjustments by an amount equal to the Current
          Balance of the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans under the
          relevant Mortgage Account (together with Arrears of Interest and
          Accrued Interest) which the Seller has failed to repurchase or
          purchase, as applicable; and/or

          (i)  to be unenforceable; and/or

          (ii) not to fall within the first ranking charge by way of legal
               mortgage or first ranking standard security over the relevant
               Mortgaged Property,

          and, in either case, such Flexible Mortgage Loan is not otherwise
          subject to the repurchase obligation under the Mortgage Sale
          Agreement, in which event, the aggregate Current Balance of the
          Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property shall be deemed to be
          reduced for the purposes of making the Trust Property Calculation
          Adjustments by an amount equal to that portion of the Current Balance
          of the Flexible Mortgage Loan which is so determined to be
          unenforceable or not to fall within the first ranking charge by way of
          legal mortgage or first ranking standard security over the relevant
          Mortgaged Property; and/or

     (d)  (i) in respect of breaches of Representations and Warranties in the
          Mortgage Sale Agreement, the Seller would be required to repurchase a
          Mortgage Loan and its Related Security and (ii) in respect of a
          Mortgage Loan subject to a Further Advance or a Product Switch or in
          respect of which the Borrower has accepted an offer by the Seller of a
          Personal Loan, the Seller elects to purchase the relevant Mortgage
          Loan or Mortgage Loans under the relevant Mortgage Account and their
          Related Security in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Sale
          Agreement, but such Mortgage Loan and its Related Security are not
          capable of being repurchased or purchased, as applicable; in which
          event the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans constituting
          the Trust Property shall be deemed to be reduced for the purposes of
          making the Trust Property Calculation Adjustments by an amount equal
          to the Current Balance of the relevant Mortgage Loan (together with
          Arrears of Interest and Accrued Interest) which is not capable of
          being repurchased or purchased, as applicable; and/or

     (e)  the Seller breaches any other material warranty under the Mortgage
          Sale Agreement and/or (for so long as it is the Administrator) the
          Administration Agreement, in which event the aggregate Current Balance
          of Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property shall be deemed for
          the purposes of making the Trust Property Calculation


                                       20

          Adjustments to be reduced by an amount equivalent to all losses,
          costs, liabilities, claims, expenses and damages incurred by the
          Beneficiaries as a result of such breach.

     The reductions and deemed reductions set out in paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
     (d) and (e) of this Clause and any resulting loss shall, subject to Clause
     9.1 (Initial Minimum Seller Share), be allocated on the relevant
     Distribution Date, Assignment Date or Funding Contribution Date (as
     applicable) first to the Seller Share of the Trust Property (or for the
     purposes of calculating the Seller Share of the Trust Property as the case
     may be) until the Seller Share is zero and thereafter shall be allocated to
     the Funding Share of the Trust Property. If at, or any time after the
     Initial Closing Date the Mortgages Trustee holds, or there is held to its
     order, or it receives, or there is received to its order, any property,
     interest, right or benefit relating to the whole or that portion of any
     Mortgage Loan and its Related Security which is or has been subject to any
     matter described in paragraphs (a) through (e) above and in respect of
     which the Seller Share of the Trust Property has been reduced or deemed
     reduced such property, interest, right or benefit will constitute a Revenue
     Receipt and the Mortgages Trustee will remit, assign or transfer the same
     to Funding (but only if and to the extent that the related reductions or
     deemed reductions were applied against the Funding Share of the Trust
     Property) and thereafter to the Seller, as the case may require, and until
     it does so or to the extent that the Mortgage Trustee is unable to effect
     such remittance, assignment or transfer, the Mortgages Trustee will hold
     such property, interest, right or benefit and/or the proceeds thereof upon
     trust absolutely for Funding and/or the Seller (separate from the Mortgages
     Trust), as the case may require.

8.6  Current Seller Share Percentage:

     (a)  On each Distribution Date, the "Current Seller Share Percentage" will
          be calculated by the Cash Manager in respect of the then-current Trust
          Calculation Period or the related Interim Calculation Period, as
          applicable, and the distributions to be made from the Trust Property
          on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, and will be a
          percentage equal to:

                    100% - Current Funding Share Percentage

          where the Current Funding Share Percentage is calculated on such
          Distribution Date in accordance with Clause 8.2(a) above.


                                       21
<PAGE>

     (b)  On each Assignment Date, the Cash Manager will recalculate the Current
          Seller Share Percentage in respect of the related Interim Calculation
          Period and the distributions to be made from the Trust Property on the
          immediately succeeding Distribution Date and will be a percentage
          equal to:

                    100% - Current Funding Share Percentage

          where the Current Funding Share Percentage is as calculated on such
          Assignment Date in accordance with Clause 8.2(b) above.

     (c)  On each Funding Contribution Date, the Cash Manager will recalculate
          the Current Seller Share Percentage in respect of the related Interim
          Calculation Period and the distributions to be made from the Trust
          Property on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date and will be a
          percentage equal to:

                    100% - Current Funding Share Percentage

          where the Current Funding Share Percentage is as calculated on such
          Funding Contribution Date in accordance with Clause 8.2(c) above.

8.7  Weighted Average Seller Share Percentage: On any Distribution Date in
     respect to which (i) the Seller had sold and assigned New Mortgage Loans to
     the Mortgages Trustee, or (ii) Funding had paid a Further Contribution to
     the Mortgages Trustee to increase the Funding Share of the Trust Property,
     during the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding such Distribution
     Date, the Cash Manager will calculate (for the sole purpose of making the
     distributions to be made on such Distribution Date) the weighted average of
     the Seller Share Percentages that were calculated previously in respect of
     the Revenue Receipts and Principal Receipts received, and Losses sustained,
     during each Interim Calculation Period occurring in such immediately
     preceding Trust Calculation Period and will be a percentage equal to:

     (a)  in respect of the distribution of Revenue Receipts to be made on such
          Distribution Date:

                100% - Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage

          where such Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage is as calculated
          in Clause 8.3(a) above;


                                       22
<PAGE>

     (b)  in respect of the distribution of Principal Receipts to be made on
          such Distribution Date:

                100% - Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage

          where such Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage is as calculated
          in Clause 8.3(b) above; and

     (c)  in respect of the allocation of Losses to be made on such Distribution
          Date:

                100% - Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage

          where such Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage is as calculated
          in Clause 8.3(c) above.

8.8  Current Seller Share:

     (a)  On each Distribution Date, the "Current Seller Share" will be
          calculated by the Cash Manager in respect of the then-current Trust
          Calculation Period or the related Interim Calculation Period, as
          applicable, and will be an amount equal to:

 The aggregate amount of the Trust Property as at the Relevant Distribution Date
                            - Current Funding Share

          where "Current Funding Share" has the meaning given in Clause 8.4(a)
          above.

     (b)  On each Assignment Date, the Current Seller Share will be calculated
          by the Cash Manager in respect of the related Interim Calculation
          Period and will be an amount equal to:

 The aggregate amount of the Trust Property as at the Relevant Assignment Date -
                             Current Funding Share

          where "Current Funding Share" has the meaning given in Clause 8.4(b)
          above.

     (c)  On each Funding Contribution Date, the Current Seller Share will be
          calculated by the Cash Manager in respect of the Interim Calculation
          Period and will be an amount equal to:

      The aggregate amount of the Trust Property as at the Relevant Funding
                    Contribution Date - Current Funding Share

          where "Current Funding Share" has the meaning given in Clause 8.4(c)

8.9  Funding Share/Seller Share: Neither the Funding Share nor the Seller Share
     may be reduced below zero. At all times the Funding Share Percentage and
     the Seller Share Percentage shall be equal to 100 per cent. of the Trust
     Property.

9.   Minimum Seller Share

9.1  Initial Minimum Seller Share: The Seller Share of the Trust Property
     includes an amount equal to the Minimum Seller Share. Unless and until the
     Funding Share of the Trust Property is in an amount equal to zero, or
     following the occurrence of an Asset Trigger Event, the Seller will not be
     entitled to receive Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts which would reduce
     the Seller Share of the Trust Property to an amount less than the Minimum
     Seller Share and the Seller consents and directs the Mortgages Trustee
     accordingly.

9.2  Fluctuation of Minimum Seller Share on each Distribution Date:

     At the Initial Closing Date, the Minimum Seller Share will be
     (GBP)50,000,000. The amount of the Minimum Seller Share will be
     recalculated on each Distribution Date in accordance with the following
     formula:

                                  W + X + Y + Z

          where:

          W    =    100% of the sum of the average cleared credit balance of all
                    applicable accounts linked to Together Connections Mortgage
                    Loans and Connections Mortgage Loans in respect of each
                    calendar month or any part of any such calendar month.

          X    =    2.0% of the aggregate Current Balance of all Mortgage Loans
                    comprised in the Trust Property as at the last day of the
                    immediately preceding Trust Calculation Period;

          Y    =    the product of: p x q x r where:

               p    =    8%;

               q    =    the sum of (i) the "Flexible Cash Re-Draw Capacity",
                         being an amount equal to the difference between (1) the
                         maximum amount of Cash Re-draws that Borrowers may draw
                         under Flexible Mortgage Loans included in the Trust


                                       24
<PAGE>

                         Property (whether or not drawn) as at the last day of
                         the immediately preceding Trust Calculation Period and
                         (2) the aggregate Current Balance of Cash Re-draws
                         which form part of the Trust Property as at the last
                         day of the immediately preceding Trust Calculation
                         Period; and (ii) the "Further Draw Capacity", being an
                         amount equal to the difference between (1) the maximum
                         amount of Further Draws that Borrower may make under
                         Personal Secured Loans included in the Trust Property
                         (whether or not drawn) as at the last day of the
                         immediately preceding Trust Calculation Period and (2)
                         the aggregate Current Balance of Personal Secured Loans
                         which form part of the Trust Property as at the last
                         day of the immediately preceding Trust Calculation
                         Period; and

               r    =    3; and

          Z    =    the aggregate Current Balance of (i) Re-Draws and (ii)
                    Personal Secured Loans in the Trust Property as at the
                    last day of the immediately preceding Trust Calculation
                    Period.

9.3  Recalculation of Minimum Seller Share following occurrence of exceptional
     events: The calculation of the Minimum Seller Share in accordance with
     Clause 9.2 (Fluctuation of Minimum Seller Share on each Distribution Date)
     above will be recalculated by the Cash Manager with the agreement of the
     parties hereto subject to the approval of the Rating Agencies if the Seller
     merges or otherwise combines its business with another bank or other
     financial institution so as to increase the risks associated with Borrowers
     holding deposits in Northern Rock accounts.

11.  Distribution of Principal Receipts

11.1 Distribution of Principal Receipts prior to the occurrence of a Trigger
     Event: Subject as provided in Clause 8.8 (Adjustments on Distribution
     Dates), prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event (and whether or not
     there has been an enforcement of the Funding Security or any Issuer
     Security), on each Distribution Date (or, in respect of any Initial
     Consideration, on any Funding Contribution Date), the Cash Manager (at the
     direction of the Mortgages Trustee acting on behalf of the Beneficiaries at
     their direction and with their consent which is hereby given) shall,
     subject to the provisos below, allocate and distribute Mortgages Trustee
     Principal Receipts as follows:

     (a)  first, to the Seller an amount in respect of any Initial Consideration
          (if any) which is then allocable and payable to the Seller under
          Clause 6.3 (Initial Consideration) above;

     (b)  second, to Funding an amount in respect of each Issuer which is equal
          to the lesser of:

                    principal amount due on the Intercompany Loan of such Issuer
                    equal to the Controlled Amortisation Amounts due, if any, on
                    such Issuer's Payment Date immediately succeeding such
                    Distribution Date (in each case determined on the assumption
                    that the Issuer Reserve Requirement, the Issuer Arrears Test
                    and the Subordinated Principal Test (as applicable) are
                    satisfied on such date; that the Controlled Amortisation
                    Amount is the relevant amount as set forth in the tables
                    contained in Schedule 4 to the Current Issuer Cash
                    Management Agreement; and that the proviso appearing at the

               remaining which will be due and payable (following the payment to
               Funding set forth in (b) above) on such Issuer's immediately

               (2)(A) of the Funding Pre-Enforcement Principal Priority of
               Payments; and

     (d)  last, if such Distribution Date is not a Seller Share Event
          Distribution Date, all remaining Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts
          to the Seller (as Beneficiary),

PROVIDED THAT in relation to (a) through (d) above the following rules (the
"Rules for the application of Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts") shall
apply:

(1)  If the Notes of any Issuer have become immediately due and payable as a
     result of the service of a Note Enforcement Notice or if the Intercompany
     Loan of any Issuer (and the other Intercompany Loans of any other Issuers)
     have become immediately due and payable as a result of the service of an
     Intercompany Loan Enforcement Notice, principal payments in respect of the
     Intercompany Loan of that Issuer may be made in excess of any Controlled



                                       30
<PAGE>

     Amortisation Amount and paragraph (b)(i) above shall no longer apply in
     relation to that Issuer and, except following a Non-Asset Trigger Event,
     the amount of Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to be distributed to
     Funding in respect of that Issuer on that Distribution Date may not exceed
     the amount determined under paragraph (b)(ii) above.

(2)  If the Notes of any Issuer have become immediately due and payable as a
     result of the service of a Note Enforcement Notice or if the Intercompany
     Loan of any Issuer (and the other Intercompany Loans of any other Issuers)
     have become immediately due and payable as a result of the service of an
     Intercompany Loan Enforcement Notice, then for the purpose of calculating
     the amount in respect of that Issuer under paragraph (b)(ii) above, that
     amount may be reduced to the extent of any remaining amounts standing to
     the credit of the Issuer Reserve Ledger and/or the Issuer Liquidity Reserve
     Ledger (if any) for that Issuer which are to be utilised on the immediately
     succeeding Payment Date to repay principal on that Issuer's Intercompany
     Loan, but only to the extent that those amounts would not otherwise be
     payable on that Intercompany Loan on that Payment Date.

(3)  The amount of Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts payable to Funding in
     respect of each Issuer on a Distribution Date will be reduced in proportion
     to the aggregate of the Issuer Available Revenue Receipts of that Issuer
     which are to be applied on the immediately succeeding Payment Date in
     reduction of deficiencies recorded on the Issuer Principal Deficiency
     Ledger of that Issuer, but only to the extent that the Issuer Available
     Revenue Receipts which are to be so applied on that Payment Date would not
     otherwise be payable as principal on the relevant Notes on that Payment
     Date.

(4)  For the purpose of determining the Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to
     be distributed to Funding in respect of the amount due on the Intercompany
     Loan of any Issuer under (b) and (c) above, the Outstanding Principal
     Balance of that Intercompany Loan shall be deemed to be reduced by the
     amount of:

     (a)  any deficiency recorded on the Issuer Principal Deficiency Ledger of
          that Issuer as at that Distribution Date, but only to the extent that
          such deficiency has arisen under a result of (i) Losses on the
          Mortgage Loans allocated by Funding to that Issuer and/or (ii) the
          application of Funding Available Principal Receipts to fund the Issuer
          Liquidity Reserve Fund of that Issuer but not as a result of any other
          principal deficiency of that Issuer; and

     (b)  the Outstanding Principal Balance as at such Distribution Date of any
          Special Repayment Notes issued by that Issuer.


                                       31

(5)  Funding will not be entitled to receive and the Cash Manager shall procure
     that Funding does not receive any amount of Mortgages Trustee Principal
     Receipts from the Mortgages Trustee on a Distribution Date which is not
     required by Funding to repay principal falling due on any Intercompany Loan
     on the immediately succeeding Payment Date in order to fund payments of
     principal falling due on any Notes issued by any Issuer on that Payment
     Date.

(6)  The Mortgages Trustee will not distribute any Overpayment (other than a
     Capital Payment) in respect of any Non-Flexible Mortgage Loan until the
     first Distribution Date following December 31 of the year in which such
     Overpayment is received; provided that if a Borrower has made an
     Underpayment of principal in respect of such Non-Flexible Mortgage Loan
     following the Overpayment then the Mortgages Trustee will distribute
     principal in an amount up to the amount of such Underpayment (but not
     exceeding the amount of the Overpayment previously made) on the immediately
     succeeding Distribution Date.

(7)  If an Assignment Date or a Funding Contribution Date has occurred during
     the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding a Distribution Date,
     then the Cash Manager shall use the Weighted Average Funding Share
     Percentage (instead of the Current Funding Share Percentage) as calculated
     pursuant to Clause 8.3(b) above in determining the amount of Mortgages
     Trustee Principal Receipts to be distributed to Funding in respect of each
     Issuer pursuant to Clause 11.1(b)(ii) above.

(8)  On a Seller Share Event Distribution Date, the Cash Manager shall not
     distribute the remaining Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to the Seller
     and shall deposit all Mortgages Trustee Retained Principal Receipts in the
     Mortgages Trustee GIC Account and make a corresponding credit to the
     Mortgages Trustee Principal Ledger.

11.2 Distribution of Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts on or after the
     occurrence of an Asset Trigger Event: On or after the occurrence of an
     Asset Trigger Event, the Cash Manager (at the direction of the Mortgages
     Trustee acting on behalf of the Beneficiaries at their direction and with
     their consent which is hereby given) shall, on each Distribution Date
     (including, if applicable, any Distribution Date on which an Asset Trigger
     Event occurs), allocate and distribute all Mortgages Trustee Principal
     Receipts as follows:

     (a)  if the immediately preceding Distribution Date was a Seller Share
          Event Distribution Date, all of the Mortgages Trustee Retained
          Principal Receipts to Funding; and then

     (b)  between Funding and the Seller, in no order of priority between them
          and pro rata according to the Funding Share Percentage of the Trust
          Property and the Seller Share

                                       32
<PAGE>

          Percentage of the Trust Property, respectively, until the Funding
          Share of the Trust Property is zero (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
          such payments may reduce the Seller Share to an amount less than the
          Minimum Seller Share),

     PROVIDED THAT if an Assignment Date or a Funding Contribution Date has
     occurred in the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding any such
     Distribution Date, the Cash Manager will apply all Mortgages Trustee
     Principal Receipts after (a) above between Funding and the Seller pro rata
     according to the Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage (as calculated
     pursuant to Clause 8.3 above) and Weighted Average Seller Share Percentage
     (as calculated pursuant to Clause 8.7 above) for such Distribution Date
     until the Funding Share of the Trust Property is zero.

11.3 Distribution of Principal Receipts on or after the occurrence of a
     Non-Asset Trigger Event: On or after the occurrence of a Non-Asset Trigger
     Event and until the occurrence of an Asset Trigger Event, the Cash Manager
     (at the direction of the Mortgages Trustee acting on behalf of the
     Beneficiaries at their direction and with their consent which is hereby
     given) shall, on each Distribution Date (including, if applicable, any
     Distribution Date on which a Non-Asset Trigger Event occurs), apply all
     Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to Funding until the Funding Share of
     the Trust Property has been reduced to zero and shall thereafter, on each
     Distribution Date, apply all Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to the
     Seller.

12.  Allocation of Losses

12.1 Subject as provided otherwise herein (including Clause 8.4 (Adjustments to
     Trust Property) of this Deed), all Losses sustained on the Mortgage Loans
     (other than Personal Secured Loans) during a Trust Calculation Period shall
     be applied in reducing pro rata both the Funding Share and the Seller Share
     of the Trust Property on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding such
     Trust Calculation Period by multiplying the Losses sustained in such
     relevant Trust Calculation Period by the Current Funding Share Percentage
     (as calculated on the Distribution Date immediately preceding such Trust
     Calculation Period), until the Funding Share of the Trust Property is zero,
     PROVIDED THAT, if during the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding
     a Distribution Date the Seller had sold and assigned New Mortgage Loans to
     the Mortgages Trustee, or if Funding paid a Further Contribution to the
     Mortgages Trustee to increase the Funding Share of the Trust Property such
     Losses shall be multiplied by the Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage
     (as calculated on such Distribution Date pursuant to Clause 8.3(c) above)
     rather than the Current Funding Share Percentage. The remainder of such
     Losses shall be allocated to the Seller.


                                       33
<PAGE>

12.2 All losses sustained during a Trust Calculation Period on Personal Secured
     Loans forming part of the Trust Property shall be applied to reduce the
     Seller Share of the Trust Property (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
     that portion of the Seller Share which represents the Minimum Seller Share)
     on the Distribution Date immediately succeeding such Trust Calculation
     Period until the Seller Share is zero and thereafter shall be applied to
     reduce the Funding Share of the Trust Property.

13.  Overpayments

13.1 Non-Flexible Mortgage Loans: The Mortgages Trustee shall not distribute to
     the Beneficiaries any Overpayment in respect of any Non-Flexible Mortgage
     Loan which does not constitute a Capital Payment until the first
     Distribution Date following 31st December of the year in which such
     Overpayment is received, save to the extent that any such Overpayment by a
     Borrower is applied in reduction of an Underpayment by such Borrower in
     respect of such Mortgage Loan prior to such date. Any such Overpayment
     shall be retained in the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account and the Cash Manager
     will maintain a separate ledger to record its receipt and subsequent
     payment from time to time. Where any such Overpayment has been made in
     error the Cash Manager and/or the Administrator will be authorised to
     refund the amount of such Overpayment to the relevant Borrower at any time
     prior to 31st December of the year in which such Overpayment was made.

13.2 Flexible Mortgage Loans: Overpayments in respect of any Flexible Mortgage
     Loan (including the amount of any Together Connections Benefit applied to
     the related Together Connections Mortgage Loans or any Connections Benefit
     applied to the related Connections Mortgage Loans) will not be retained in
     the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account but will be distributed to the
     Beneficiaries on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date as Principal
     Receipts.


                                       34
<PAGE>

14.  Arrears

     The aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgages Trust
     will be increased at any time by the amount in which the Mortgage Loans
     that have been sold and assigned to the Mortgages Trust are in arrears and
     those arrears have been capitalised. Such increase shall be allocated to
     the Beneficiaries at any time in proportion to their respective percentage
     shares in the Trust Property as determined in respect of the Trust
     Calculation Period or Interim Calculation Period, as the case may be, in
     which the arrears occur.

15.  Ledgers

     The Mortgages Trustee shall maintain, or shall procure that the Cash
     Manager shall maintain, the following Mortgages Trustee Ledgers:

          and (ii) Overpayments on Flexible Mortgage Loans;

     (f)  the Non-Flexible Underpayments Ledger; which shall record
          Underpayments on Non-Flexible Mortgage Loans from time to time;

     (g)  the Re-Draw Ledger, which shall be divided into sub ledgers to record
          (i) Cash Re-Draws made in respect of Flexible Mortgage Loans and (ii)
          Non-Cash Re-Draws made in respect of Flexible Mortgage Loans;


                                       35

<PAGE>

     request or direct it to do in order to give effect to the terms of this

     party; provided that at any time after the Funding Share has been reduced

     of both Funding and the Seller (acting together) and shall instead act in
     accordance with any direction given solely by the Seller.

17.3 No breach: Each of Funding and the Seller covenant with each other and with

     have no power to take any proceedings, actions or steps under or in
     connection with any of this Deed or the other Transaction Documents to

18.  Early Termination of the Mortgages Trust

     Prior to its termination in accordance with Clause 26 (Termination),

     have been repaid in full and the Funding Share of the Trust Property has
     been reduced to zero, the Mortgages Trust constituted by this Deed may be
     terminated at the option of the Seller, following a request in writing by

19.  Audit of Mortgage Loans constituting the Trust Property

     If the long term, unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt
     obligations of the Seller fall below A3 by Moody's then, if required by
     Moody's, the Beneficiaries shall appoint a firm of independent auditors
     (approved by the Rating Agencies) to determine whether the Mortgage Loans
     and their Related Security (or any part of them) constituting the Trust
     Property complied with the representations and warranties set out in
     Schedule 1 (Representations and Warranties) of the Mortgage Sale Agreement
     as at the date such Mortgage Loans were sold and assigned to the Mortgages

     (a)  Negative Pledge: create or permit to subsist any mortgage, standard
          security, pledge, lien, charge or other security interest whatsoever
          (unless arising by operation of law), upon the whole or any part of
