            powers, authorities, discretions and remedies or to comply with
            any direction given by the Master Issuer in relation thereto; and

      unconditional payment in full or discharge (or any combination of the
      foregoing) of all the Issuer Secured Obligations and upon the Issuer
      Security Trustee being satisfied that the Master Issuer is under no
      further actual or contingent obligation under this Deed or any other
      Issuer Transaction Document, the Issuer Security Trustee shall, at the
      request and cost of the Master Issuer, release, reassign and/or
      discharge from the Issuer Security all of the Issuer Charged Property
      to, or to the order of, the Master Issuer; provided that where any such
      release, re-assignment or discharge is made in whole or in part on the
      faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or
      which must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise, the
      security constituted by this Deed and the liability of the Master Issuer
      hereunder shall continue as if there had been no such release,

      liabilities whatsoever occasioned by so acting upon such request,
      release, reassign or discharge from the Issuer Security the relevant
      Authorised Investments or Swap Collateral, provided that in the case of
      a disposal of an Authorised Investment, the proceeds of such disposal
      are paid by the Master Issuer into the Issuer Bank Accounts from which
      the monies to make such Authorised Investment were originally drawn and,
      that in the case of Swap Collateral, the proceeds of such disposal are
      paid by the Master Issuer into the relevant Issuer Swap Collateral Cash
      Account or Issuer Bank Account (as appropriate in accordance with the
      Issuer Cash Management Agreement) subject to and in accordance with the
      provisions of this Deed and the Issuer Transaction Documents.

      Accounts is applied in accordance with and subject to the relevant
      Issuer Priority of Payments.

      Notes on any Closing Date or the making available of any Loan Tranches
      by the Master Issuer to Funding 2, if any amendment to the Issuer

            the Master Issuer under this Deed or any other Issuer Transaction
            Document shall be payable by the Master Issuer except to the
            extent that the Master Issuer or (following enforcement of the
            Master Issuer Security) the Issuer Security Trustee has sufficient
            funds available to it (and, in the case of the Issuer Security
            Trustee, as a result of the realisation of that security) to pay
            such sum subject to and in accordance with the relevant Issuer
            Priority of Payments and provided that all liabilities of the
            Issuer required to be paid in priority thereto or pari passu
            therewith pursuant to such Issuer Priority of Payments have been

            (ii)  in the case of any other Issuer Secured Creditor and subject
                  to there being no Issuer Note then outstanding, if the

                  arising out of the relevant Issuer Transaction Document as
                  it shall deem necessary other than the presentation of a
                  petition or making an application for the winding up,
                  dissolution or reorganisation of, or the institution of
                  insolvency proceedings against, the Master Issuer or the
                  appointment of a receiver,

      prior notification to the Seller, Funding 2, the Cash Manager and the
      Issuer Cash Manager of the Issuer Security Trustee's intention to

            (which has not been withdrawn);

      (b)   at any time following the failure to redeem a Series and Class of
            Issuer Notes at the aggregate amount outstanding (together with

            redemption in a notice of redemption (provided that such notice is
            in respect of all Issuer Notes then outstanding) served on the

            Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have become due and payable
            for the purposes of Section 101 of the 1925 Act and (to the extent
            applicable) the statutory power of sale and of appointing a
            receiver and other powers which are conferred on mortgagees under
            the 1925 Act as varied or extended by this Deed shall be deemed to
            arise immediately after execution of this Deed.

      (b)   Section 103 of the 1925 Act shall not apply to this Deed and

            accordance with Clause 6.2 (Enforceable) the statutory power of
            sale, as extended by this Deed, and all other powers shall become
            immediately exercisable without notice to the Master Issuer and
            the provisions of the 1925 Act regulating the power of sale shall,

<PAGE>

      (a)   it shall have been directed to do so by the Note Trustee acting in

            Deed; or

      (b)   if there are no Issuer Notes outstanding, it shall have been
            directed to do so by the Issuer Secured Creditor which ranks
            highest in the Issuer Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments,

      and in either case, it shall have been indemnified and/or secured to its
      satisfaction against all Liabilities to which it may become liable or
      which may be incurred by it in connection therewith.

      are hereby extended in relation to the Master Issuer as if such
      extensions were contained in the 1925 Act such that at any time after
      the Issuer Security has become enforceable in accordance with Clause 6.2
      (Enforceable) above, the Issuer Security Trustee may in its absolute
      discretion:

      (a)   make demand in the name of the Issuer Secured Creditors or in its
            own right for any monies and liabilities in respect of the Issuer
            Charged Property;

      (b)   enforce any rights it may have in respect of the whole or any part
            of the Issuer Charged Property in such manner and upon such terms
            as the Issuer Security Trustee shall think fit;

      (c)   take possession of, get in and collect the Issuer Charged Property
            and perfect interests comprised therein;

      (d)   (subject to any restrictions under or in respect of the relevant
            Issuer Charged Property) sell, transfer, convey, dispose of, vary
            or otherwise deal with, and also grant any option to purchase, and
            effect exchanges of, the whole or any part of Issuer Charged
            Property or any interest therein in such manner, for such
            consideration (if any) and generally upon such terms (including by
            deferred payment or payment by instalments) as it may think fit
            and/or to concur in any of the foregoing (and nothing shall
            preclude any such disposal being made to a Issuer Secured
            Creditor);

      (e)   carry out any transaction, scheme or arrangement which the Issuer
            Security Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider
            appropriate with a view to or in connection with the sale of the
            Issuer Charged Property;

      (f)   do all or any of the things or exercise all or any of the powers,
            authorities and discretions conferred expressly or by implication
            on any Receiver under Clause 8.6 (Powers of the Receiver) or
            otherwise under this Deed; and/or

      (g)   exercise all or any of the powers conferred on mortgagees by the
            1925 Act as varied or extended by this Deed and any other rights
            and remedies that may be conferred by statute or common law or in
            equity on mortgagees or receivers.

6.7   Authorised Investments: Any monies which under the trusts of this Deed
      ought to or may be invested by the Issuer Security Trustee (or the
      Issuer Cash Manager on its behalf) after the Issuer Security has become
      enforceable in accordance with Clause

                                      13
<PAGE>

      6.2 (Enforceable) may be invested in the name or under the control of
      the Issuer Security Trustee in any Authorised Investments and the Issuer
      Security Trustee may at any time vary or transfer (or direct the Cash
      Manager to vary or transfer) any of such Authorised Investments for or
      into other such Authorised Investments as the Issuer Security Trustee in
      its absolute discretion may determine, and shall not be responsible for
      any loss occasioned by reason of any such investments whether by
      depreciation in value or otherwise, provided that such Authorised
      Investments were made in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If a
      bank or institution with which any monies placed on deposit in
      accordance with this clause is the Issuer Security Trustee or a
      subsidiary, holding or associated company of the Issuer Security
      Trustee, it need only account for an amount of interest equal to the
      amount of interest which would, at then current rates, be payable by it
      on such a deposit to an independent customer.

      effectiveness of any service of an Issuer Enforcement Notice, in the

            a view to obtaining a moratorium) under the Insolvency Act 2000

      and subject to the other rules set out in Schedule 2.

7.4   Certification of Amounts:

      (a)   The Issuer Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely on (and to

            owed to such Issuer Secured Creditor under the Issuer Transaction
            Documents. The Issuer Security Trustee shall not take into account

            certificate setting out detailed information as to the amount of
            the Issuer Secured Obligations to which such Issuer Secured
            Creditor is entitled and such other information as the Issuer
            Security Trustee and/or any Receiver may require to enable or
            facilitate the Issuer Security Trustee and/or any Receiver to
            perform its functions hereunder or under any of the Issuer
            Transaction Documents, such certificate to be in a form required
            by the Issuer Security Trustee and/or any Receiver. In determining
            the respective entitlements of the Issuer Secured Creditors
            hereunder, such certificates shall be binding on all of the Issuer
            Secured Creditors.

7.5   Retention Account: If the Issuer Security Trustee enforces the Issuer
      Security at a time when either no amounts or not all amounts owing in
      respect of the Issuer Secured Obligations have become due and payable or
      any of the Issuer Secured Obligations are at such time contingent or
      future, the Issuer Security Trustee or a Receiver may, for so long as no
      such amounts or not all such amounts have become due and payable or any
      of the Issuer Secured Obligations are at such time contingent or future,
      pay any monies referred to in Clause 7.3 (Issuer Post-Enforcement
      Priority of Payments), as the case may be, into, and retain such monies
      in, an interest-bearing

      and payable.

7.6   Issuer Security Trustee Rights upon Enforcement: In addition to any
      other rights expressly provided herein, for the period commencing upon
      the service of an Issuer Enforcement Notice and terminating upon the

      or that such Issuer Enforcement Notice has been withdrawn:

      (a)   (provided such Issuer Secured Creditor has received a copy of, or

            in order that such amounts may be applied by the Issuer Security
            Trustee in accordance with Clause 7.3 (Issuer Post-Enforcement

            remedies provided for by this Deed or available at law or in

8.    Receiver

8.1   Appointment: At any time after the Issuer Security constituted hereunder
      becomes enforceable, and whether or not the Issuer Security Trustee has
      taken possession of the Issuer Charged Property, the Issuer Security
      Trustee may, in addition to all statutory and other powers of
      appointment or otherwise, appoint, by writing or by deed, such person or
      persons (including an officer or officers of the Issuer Security
      Trustee) as the Issuer Security Trustee thinks fit to be a receiver, a
      receiver and manager or an administrative receiver of the Issuer Charged
      Property or any part thereof (each a "Receiver") and, in the case of an
      appointment of more than one person, to act together or independently of
      the other or others.

8.2   Removal and Replacement: Except as otherwise required by statute, the
      Issuer Security Trustee may by writing or by deed remove a Receiver
      appointed by it whether or not appointing another in its place and may
      also appoint another Receiver or to act with any other Receiver or to
      replace any Receiver who resigns, retires or otherwise ceases to hold
      office.

8.3   Extension of Appointment: The exclusion of any part of the Issuer
      Charged Property from the appointment of the Receiver shall not preclude
      the Issuer Security Trustee from subsequently extending its appointment
      (or that of the Receiver replacing it) to that part of the Issuer
      Charged Property or appointing another Receiver over any other part of
      the Issuer Charged Property.

8.4   Agent of Master Issuer: The Receiver shall, so far as the law permits,
      be the agent of the Master Issuer and (subject to any restriction or
      limitation imposed by law) the Master Issuer alone shall be responsible
      for the Receiver's contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct,
      negligence or default and for liabilities incurred by it; and in no
      circumstances whatsoever shall the Issuer Security Trustee or any Issuer
      Secured Creditor be in any way responsible for or incur any liability in
      connection with its contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct,
      negligence or default, and if a liquidator of the Master Issuer shall be
      appointed, the Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for the
      Issuer Security Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the
      foregoing, such Receiver shall in the exercise of its powers,
      authorities and discretions conform to the regulations or directions (if
      any) from time to time made and given by the Issuer Security Trustee.

8.5   Remuneration: Subject as provided otherwise by applicable law, the
      remuneration of the Receiver shall be fixed by the Issuer Security
      Trustee and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to

      (and such commission (if any)) shall be payable hereunder by the Master
      Issuer alone subject always to Clause 7.3 (Issuer Post-Enforcement
      Priority of Payments) and the amount of such remuneration shall form
      part of the Issuer Secured Obligations and shall accordingly be secured
      by the Issuer Security.

8.6   Powers of the Receiver: The Receiver of the Master Issuer, in addition
      to any powers conferred on an administrative receiver, receiver, manager
      or receiver and manager by statute or common law, shall have the power

      (a)   take possession of, get in and collect the Issuer Charged
            Property;

            instalments) as it may think fit and/or concur in any of the
            foregoing (and nothing shall preclude any such disposal being made
            to a Issuer Secured Creditor);

      (c)   carry out any transaction, scheme or arrangement which it may, in

            the liabilities to any other company or body corporate, whether or

            subsidiary or associated company of the Issuer Security Trustee or
            any other party to the Issuer Transaction Documents) and to form a
            subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Master Issuer;

            security or on the security of the Issuer Charged Property (either

            such manner and on such terms as it may think fit;

      (k)   bring, defend, submit to arbitration, negotiate, compromise,

      (n)   in connection with the exercise of any of its powers, execute or
            do, or cause or authorise to be executed or done, on behalf of or
            in the name of the Master Issuer or otherwise, as it may think

            (v)   any notice of intention to appoint an administrator having
                  been given by any person or persons entitled to make such
                  appointment under the Insolvency Act 1986.

      (b)   Where any such appointment is made at a time when an administrator
            continues in office, the administrator shall act either jointly or
            concurrently with the administrator previously appointed
            hereunder, as the appointment specifies.

      (c)   Subject to any applicable order of the court, the Issuer Security
            Trustee may replace any administrator, or seek an order replacing
            the administrator, in any manner allowed by the Insolvency Act
            1986.

      (d)   Where the administrator was appointed by the Issuer Security
            Trustee under paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act
            1986, the Issuer Security Trustee may, by notice in writing to the
            Master Issuer, replace the administrator in accordance with
            paragraph 92 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986.

      (e)   Every such appointment shall take effect at the time and in the
            manner specified by the Insolvency Act 1986.

      (f)   If at any time and by virtue of any such appointment(s) any two or
            more persons shall hold office as administrators of the same
            assets or income, such administrators may act jointly or
            concurrently as the appointment specifies so that, if appointed to
            act concurrently, each one of such administrators shall be
            entitled (unless the contrary shall be stated in any of the
            deed(s) or other

                                      21

      (h)   In exercising his functions hereunder and under the Insolvency Act

            does not act as agent of the Issuer Security Trustee.

      (i)   Every administrator shall be entitled to remuneration for his
            services in the manner fixed by or pursuant to the Insolvency Act
            1986 or the Insolvency Rules 1986.

8.12  Administration:

      (a)   Upon application being made to a court of competent jurisdiction
            for an administration order or the service of a notice of
            intention to appoint an administrator or the filing of documents
            with the court for the appointment of an administrator in relation
            to the Master Issuer or other order having substantially the same
            effect to be made on application by a creditor or creditors of the
            Master Issuer, the Issuer Security Trustee shall, (except in the
            circumstances where the Issuer Security Trustee has taken steps to
            appoint an administrator in accordance with Clause 8.11
            (Appointment of an Administrator)), subject to it being
            indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction, as soon as
            practicable appoint a Receiver in accordance with this Deed (who
            shall, to the extent permitted by law, be an "administrative
            receiver" under Section 29 (2) of the Insolvency Act 1986) of the
            whole of the Issuer Charged Property and, in the case of any
            application to the court or petition the Issuer Security Trustee
            shall instruct the Receiver to attend at the hearing of the
            application or petition and take such steps as are necessary to
            prevent the appointment of an administrator. The Issuer Secured
            Creditors shall co-operate and do all acts and enter into such
            further documents, deeds or agreements as the Issuer Security
            Trustee may deem necessary or desirable to ensure that an
            administration order is not made or that an administrator is not
            otherwise appointed and that an administrative receiver is
            appointed.

      (b)   Paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 applies to
            the floating charge created hereunder.

9.    Further Assurance and Power of Attorney

9.1   Further Assurance: The Master Issuer covenants with and undertakes to
      the Issuer Security Trustee from time to time (notwithstanding that the
      security may not have become enforceable and/or the Note Trustee may not
      have served any Issuer Enforcement Notice) upon demand:

      (a)   to execute, at the Master Issuer's cost, any document or do any
            act or thing which the Issuer Security Trustee or any Receiver may
            specify (including executing such Security Interests over its

<PAGE>

            Property and any other assets of the Master Issuer in such form as
            the Issuer Security Trustee and/or any Receiver may require) with
            a view to:

            (i)   registering, perfecting, protecting or improving any charge
                  or security or Security Interest created or intended to be
                  created by or pursuant to this Deed (including any act or
                  document which may be required or desirable under the laws
                  of any jurisdiction in which any property or assets may be
                  located in order to confer on the Issuer Security Trustee
                  security over such property and assets equivalent or similar
                  to the security intended to be conferred by or pursuant to
                  this Deed) and in such form as the Issuer Security Trustee
                  or the Receiver may specify; and/or

            (ii)  facilitating the realisation of or enforcement of rights of,
                  all or any part of the Issuer Charged Property or the
                  exercise, or proposed exercise, of any of the powers, duties
                  or discretions vested or intended to be vested in the Issuer
                  Security Trustee or such Receiver by or pursuant to this
                  Deed or doing any act or thing deemed necessary by the
                  Issuer Security Trustee or the Receiver;

      (b)   to give or join in giving or procure the giving of any notices to
            any persons and obtain or procure that there is obtained any
            necessary acknowledgements in relation to such notices, all in
            such form, as the Issuer Security Trustee or the Receiver may
            require at the cost of the Master Issuer,

      and for the purpose of this Clause 9.1 (Further Assurance) a certificate
      in writing signed by the Issuer Security Trustee to the effect that any
      particular assurance or thing is required by it shall be conclusive
      evidence of that fact provided that the Master Issuer shall not be
      obliged to execute any such documentation or take any other action or
      steps to the extent that it would breach a restriction in any agreement
      to which it is a party (save where the other parties hereto agree to
      such breach) or conflict with any applicable law.

9.2   Execution of Power of Attorney: Immediately upon execution of this Deed,
      the Master Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Security
      Trustee the power of attorney in or substantially in the form set out in
      Schedule 1 (Form of Security Power of Attorney).

9.3   Issuer Charged Property on Trust: To the extent permitted to do so under
      the Issuer Transaction Documents, for the purpose of giving effect to
      this Deed, the Master Issuer hereby declares that, after service of an
      Issuer Enforcement Notice, it will hold all the Issuer Charged Property
      (subject to the right of redemption) upon trust to convey, assign or
      otherwise deal with such Issuer Charged Property in such manner and to
      such person as the Issuer Security Trustee shall direct pursuant to this
      Deed, and declares that it shall be lawful for the Issuer Security
      Trustee to appoint a new trustee or trustees of the Issuer Charged
      Property in place of the Master Issuer.

10.   Crystallisation

10.1  Notice: In addition and without prejudice to any other event resulting
      in a crystallisation of the floating charge created by this Deed or any
      other right the Issuer

                                      23
<PAGE>

      Security Trustee may have, but subject to any prohibition or restriction
      imposed by law, the Issuer Security Trustee may, by notice in writing to
      the Master Issuer, declare that the floating charge hereby created shall
      be converted into first specific fixed charges over such of the
      undertaking, property and assets of the Master Issuer as the Issuer
      Security Trustee may specify in such notice at any time if:

      (a)   a Note Event of Default or a Potential Note Event of Default has
            occurred; or

      (b)   the Issuer Security Trustee believes that the Issuer Charged
            Property or any part thereof is in danger of being seized or sold
            under any form of distress, execution or diligence levied or is
            otherwise in jeopardy; or

      (c)   the Issuer Security Trustee considers that it is desirable in
            order to protect the priority of the security created by this
            Deed,

            provided that the floating charge created by this Deed may not be
            converted into a fixed charge or charges solely as a result of the
            obtaining of a moratorium (or anything done with a view to
            obtaining a moratorium) under the Insolvency Act 2000 except with
            the leave of the court.

10.2  Automatic Crystallisation: In addition and without prejudice to any
      other event resulting in a crystallisation of the floating charge
      contained herein and without prejudice to any rule of law which may have
      a similar effect, but subject to any prohibition or restriction imposed
      by applicable law, the floating charge created under this Deed shall
      automatically and without notice be converted with immediate effect into
      a fixed charge as regards:

      (a)   all property, assets or undertaking of the Master Issuer subject
            to the floating charge, upon:

            (i)   the Master Issuer ceasing to carry on its business or a
                  material part thereof as a going concern;

            (ii)  the presentation of a petition for or the making of an
                  application for the compulsory winding-up of the Master
                  Issuer;

            (iii) the convening of a meeting for the passing of a resolution
                  for the voluntary winding-up of the Master Issuer;

            (iv)  the making of an application for an administration order or
                  the filing of documents with the court for the appointment
                  of an administrator or the service of a notice of intention
                  to appoint an administrator in relation to the Master
                  Issuer;

            (v)   the presentation or making of an application for a warrant
                  of execution, writ of fieri facias, garnishee order or
                  charging order in respect of any of the assets of the Master
                  Issuer subject to the floating charge;

            (vi)  the occurrence of a Note Event of Default or, if there are
                  no Issuer Notes outstanding, following a default in payment
                  of any other Issuer Secured Obligations on its due date or
                  within any applicable grace

                                      24
<PAGE>

                  period following such due date stated in the relevant Issuer
                  Transaction Document; and/or

      (b)   any property, assets or undertaking of the Master Issuer, which
            become subject to an Encumbrance in favour of any person other
            than the Issuer Security Trustee or which is/are the subject of a
            sale, transfer or other disposition, in either case, contrary to
            the covenants and undertakings contained in the Issuer Transaction
            Documents, immediately prior to such Encumbrance arising or such
            sale, transfer or other disposition being made,

      provided that the floating charge created by this Deed may not be
      converted into a fixed charge or charges solely as a result of the
      obtaining of a moratorium (or anything done with a view to obtaining a
      moratorium) under the Insolvency Act 2000 except with the leave of the
      court.

11.   Provisions relating to the Security

11.1  Continuing Security: The Issuer Security shall be:

      (a)   in addition to and independent of and shall not operate so as to
            prejudice or affect or merge in any other security, right of
            recourse or other right whatsoever which may be held by any of the
            Issuer Secured Creditors or the Issuer Security Trustee on their
            behalf in respect of the whole or any part of the Issuer Secured
            Obligations and shall not be affected by any release, reassignment
            or discharge of such other security; and

      (b)   a continuing security for the Issuer Secured Obligations and shall
            remain in force as continuing security for the Issuer Secured
            Creditors and shall not be considered as satisfied or discharged
            by any intermediate payment or settlement of the whole or any part
            of the Issuer Secured Obligations or the existence at any time of
            a credit balance on any current or other account or any other
            matter or thing whatsoever.

11.2  Consolidation: Section 93 of the 1925 Act shall not apply in relation to
      any of the Issuer Security.

11.3  Ruling Off: If the Issuer Security Trustee receives notice of any
      Encumbrance affecting the whole or any part of the Issuer Charged
      Property or any security granted hereunder in contravention of the
      provisions hereof:

      (a)   the Issuer Security Trustee may open a new account in the name of
            the Master Issuer and, if it does not, it shall nevertheless be
            deemed to have done so at the time it received such notice; and

      (b)   all payments made by the Master Issuer to the Issuer Security
            Trustee after the Issuer Security Trustee receives such notice
            shall be credited or deemed to have been credited to the new
            account, and in no circumstances whatsoever shall operate to
            reduce the Issuer Secured Obligations as at the time the Issuer
            Security Trustee received such notice.

11.4  Avoidance of Payments: Any settlement, discharge or release between (a)
      the Master Issuer and (b) the Issuer Security Trustee or any Receiver
      (the "Relevant Person(s)")

                                      25
<PAGE>

      shall be conditional upon no security or payment granted or made to the
      Relevant Person(s) by the Master Issuer or any other person being
      avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to
      bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation for the time being in force and,
      in the event of such security or payment being so avoided or reduced,
      the Relevant Person(s) shall be entitled to recover the value or amount
      of such security or payment from the Master Issuer and from the security
      subsequently as if such settlement, discharge or release had not
      occurred.

11.5  Retention of Charges: If the Issuer Security Trustee shall have
      reasonable grounds for believing that the Master Issuer may be insolvent
      or deemed to be insolvent pursuant to the provisions of the Insolvency
      Act 1986 (and production of a solvency certificate of a duly authorised
      officer of the Master Issuer shall be prima facie evidence of the
      solvency of the Master Issuer) as at the date of any payment made by the
      Master Issuer to the Issuer Security Trustee and that as a result, such
      payment may be capable of being avoided or clawed back, the Issuer
      Security Trustee shall be at liberty to retain the charges contained in
      or created pursuant to this Deed until the expiry of a period of one
      month plus such statutory period within which any assurance, security,
      guarantee or payment can be avoided or invalidated after the payment and
      discharge in full of all Issuer Secured Obligations notwithstanding any
      release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made
      by the Issuer Security Trustee on, or as a consequence of, such payment
      or discharge of liability provided that, if at any time within such
      period, a petition or an application shall be presented to a competent
      court for an order for the winding up or the making of an administration
      order in respect of the Master Issuer, or if the Master Issuer shall
      commence to be wound up or to go into administration or any analogous
      proceedings shall be commenced by or against the Master Issuer, as the
      case may be, the Issuer Security Trustee shall be at liberty to continue
      to retain such security for such further period as the Issuer Security
      Trustee may determine and such security shall be deemed to continue to
      have been held as security for the payment and discharge to the Issuer
      Security Trustee of all Issuer Secured Obligations.

11.6  Possession: Entry into possession of the Issuer Charged Property or any
      part thereof shall not render the Issuer Security Trustee or any
      Receiver of the Master Issuer liable to account as mortgagee or creditor
      in possession for anything except actual receipts. If and whenever the
      Issuer Security Trustee or the Receiver enters into possession of the
      Issuer Charged Property, it shall be entitled at any time to go out of
      such possession.

11.7  Change of Name, etc.: This Deed shall remain valid and enforceable
      notwithstanding any change in the name, composition or constitution of
      the Issuer Security Trustee or the Master Issuer or any amalgamation,
      merger or consolidation by the Issuer Security Trustee or the Master
      Issuer, with any other corporation (whether, in the case of the Master
      Issuer, permitted under the Issuer Transaction Documents or not).

12.   Protection of Third Parties

12.1  No Enquiry: No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Issuer
      Security Trustee or a Receiver shall be concerned to enquire whether any
      of the powers exercised or purported to be exercised under this Deed has
      arisen or become exercisable, whether the Issuer Secured Obligations
      remain outstanding or have become payable, whether the Issuer Security
      Trustee or the Receiver is authorised to

                                      26
<PAGE>

      act or as to the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported
      exercise of any power; and the title and the position of such a
      purchaser or other person shall not be impeachable by reference to any
      of those matters and all the protection to purchasers contained in
      Sections 104 and 107 of the 1925 Act shall apply to any person
      purchasing from or dealing with the Issuer Security Trustee or any such
      Receiver.

12.2  Receipts to Current Parties: Upon any sale, calling in, collection,
      enforcement or other realisation of the Issuer Charged Property in
      accordance with the terms hereof and upon any other dealing or
      transaction under or pursuant to this Deed, the receipt of the Issuer
      Security Trustee or any Receiver shall be an absolute and a conclusive
      discharge to a purchaser or other person dealing with the Issuer
      Security Trustee or such Receiver and shall relieve it of any obligation
      to see to the application of any monies paid to or by the direction of
      the Issuer Security Trustee or such Receiver.

13.   Set-Off

      The Issuer Security Trustee may at any time after the security created
      under this Deed has become enforceable in accordance with Clause 6.2
      (Enforceable) without notice and notwithstanding any settlement of
      account or other matter whatsoever combine or consolidate all or any
      existing accounts of the Master Issuer whether in its own name or
      jointly with others and held by it or any Issuer Secured Creditor and
      may set-off or transfer all or any part of any credit balance or any sum
      standing to the credit of any such account (whether or not the same is
      due to the Master Issuer from the Issuer Security Trustee or relevant
      Issuer Secured Creditor and whether or not the credit balance and the
      account in debit or the Issuer Secured Obligations are expressed in the
      same currency in which case the Issuer Security Trustee is hereby
      authorised to effect any necessary conversions at its prevailing rates
      of exchange) in or towards satisfaction of any of the Issuer Secured
      Obligations (and on or at any time after the Issuer Security has become
      enforceable in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Enforceable) the Issuer
      Security Trustee may make such application notwithstanding any specified
      maturity of any deposits), but subject always to the Issuer Priority of
      Payments, and may in its absolute discretion estimate the amount of any
      liability of the Master Issuer which is contingent or unascertained and
      thereafter set-off such estimated amount and no amount shall be payable
      by the Issuer Security Trustee to the Master Issuer unless and until all
      the Issuer Secured Obligations have been ascertained and fully repaid or
      discharged.

      Secured Creditors and the Master Issuer acknowledges that when
      exercising its opinion and/or when exercising the rights, benefits,
      power, trusts, authorities, discretions and obligations expressed to be
      granted by this Deed, the other Issuer Transaction Documents or by
      operation of law, the Issuer Security Trustee shall, for so long as
      there are any Issuer Notes outstanding, act only at the request or
      directions received from the Note Trustee and shall not be responsible
      for any Liability or inconveniences that may result from the exercise or
      non-exercise thereof (including any Liability occasioned by any delay or
      failure on the part of the Note Trustee(s) to make any such request or
      give any such discretion provided that:

      (a)   if there is a conflict between the interests (as directed by the
            Note Trustee(s)) of holders of Issuer Notes issued by more than
            one Noteholder or a conflict in directions received from the Note
            Trustee(s), the Issuer Security Trustee shall have regard only to
            the interests or directions, as applicable, of the Note Trustee or
            Note Trustee(s) acting as trustees in respect of the holders of
            the highest ranking class of Issuer Notes outstanding (the
            "Principal Directions"); and

      (b)   if there is any conflict between the Principal Directions, due to
            more than one Noteholder having Issuer Notes of the same class as
            their highest ranking class, the Issuer Security Trustee shall
            have regard only to the Principal Directions of the Note
            Trustee(s) representing the holders of the greatest aggregate
            principal amount outstanding of the highest ranking class of
            Issuer Notes, and for this purpose, the principal amount
            outstanding of any Issuer Note not denominated in Sterling shall
            be converted into Sterling at the rate specified in the relevant
            swap agreement applicable to such Issuer Note or, if at the
            relevant time there is no such currency swap agreement in effect,
            at the "spot rate" at which the relevant currency is converted
            into Sterling on the foreign exchange markets.

16.   Appointment, Removal and Retirement

16.1  Power of Master Issuer: Subject to the provisions of this Clause 16
      (Appointment, Removal and Retirement), the power of appointing a new
      Issuer Security Trustee in place of an existing Issuer Security Trustee
      shall be vested in the Master Issuer but such appointment or removal
      must (i) be approved by (save to the extent otherwise provided in the
      Conditions) an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Noteholders, the
      Class B Noteholders, the Class M Noteholders, the Class C Noteholders
      and the Class D Noteholders then outstanding, and (ii) be approved in
      writing by each other

                                      41
<PAGE>

      Issuer Secured Creditor (such approval not be unreasonably withheld or
      delayed). A trust corporation may be appointed sole trustee hereof but
      subject thereto there shall be at least two trustees hereof, one at
      least of which shall be a trust corporation. Any appointment of a new
      Issuer Security Trustee and any retirement of an existing Issuer
      Security Trustee hereof shall as soon as practicable thereafter be
      notified by the Master Issuer to the Issuer Secured Creditors. Any new
      Issuer Security Trustee must meet the requirements set out in Clause
      16.5 (Retirement or Removal Not Effective).

16.2  Powers of Issuer Security Trustee to appoint: Notwithstanding the
      provisions of Clause 16.1 (Power of Master Issuer), the Issuer Security
      Trustee may (as attorney for the Master Issuer) upon giving prior notice
      to the Master Issuer but without the consent of the Master Issuer or the
      Issuer Secured Creditors appoint any person established or resident in
      any jurisdiction (whether a trust corporation or not) to act either as a
      separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Issuer Security
      Trustee:

      (a)   if the Issuer Security Trustee considers such appointment to be in
            the interests of the Issuer Secured Creditors (or any of them); or

      (b)   for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements,
            restrictions or Conditions in any jurisdiction in which any
            particular act or acts is or are to be performed; or

      (c)   for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or
            the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either a judgment already
            obtained or any of the provisions of these presents or any of the
            other Issuer Transaction Documents against the Master Issuer or
            any other party thereto.

      The Master Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer Security
      Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any
      such instrument of appointment. Such a person shall (subject always to
      the provisions of these presents and any other Issuer Transaction
      Document to which the Issuer Security Trustee is a party) have such
      trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those
      conferred on the Issuer Security Trustee by these presents or any of the
      other Issuer Transaction Documents to which the Issuer Security Trustee
      is a party) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or
      imposed on it by the instrument of appointment. The Issuer Security
      Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such
      proper remuneration as the Issuer Security Trustee may pay to any such
      person, together with any attributable costs, charges and expenses
      incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or
      co-trustee, shall for the purposes of these presents be treated as
      costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer Security Trustee.

16.3  Multiple Trustees: Whenever there shall be more than two trustees
      hereof, the majority of such trustees shall (provided such majority
      includes a trust corporation) be competent to execute and exercise all
      the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested by these presents
      and any of the other Issuer Transaction Documents in the Issuer Security
      Trustee generally.

16.4  Retirement or Removal of Issuer Security Trustee: Subject as provided in
      Clause 16.5 (Retirement or Removal not Effective), any Issuer Security
      Trustee for the time being of this Deed may retire at any time upon
      giving not less than three months' prior

                                      42
<PAGE>

      notice in writing to the Master Issuer without assigning any reason
      therefor and without being responsible for any costs resulting from such
      retirement.

16.5  Retirement or Removal not Effective: The retirement or removal of any
      Issuer Security Trustee shall not become effective unless there remains
      at least one trustee hereof being a trust corporation in office upon
      such retirement or removal. The Master Issuer covenants that, in the
      event of a trustee (being a sole trustee or the only trust corporation)
      giving notice or being removed under Clause 16.4 (Retirement or Removal
      of Issuer Security Trustee) it shall use its best endeavours to procure
      a new Issuer Security Trustee of these presents (being a trust
      corporation) to be appointed as soon as reasonably practicable
      thereafter (for the avoidance of doubt, on the same terms as these
      presents). If within 30 days of having given notice of its intention to
      retire, the Master Issuer has failed to appoint a replacement Issuer
      Security Trustee, the outgoing Issuer Security Trustee will be entitled
      to appoint its successor provided that the Rating Agencies confirm that
      the then ratings of the Issuer Notes shall not be either reduced,
      qualified or withdrawn as a result of such appointment.

16.6  Funding 2 Security Trustee, Note Trustee and Issuer Security Trustee: If
      the Issuer Security Trustee retires or is removed in accordance with the
      provisions of this Clause 16 (Appointment, Removal and Retirement) then
      the Funding 2 Security Trustee, each Note Trustee and each other Issuer
      Security Trustee shall retire at the same time in accordance with the
      provisions of the Funding 2 Deed of Charge, the applicable Issuer Trust
      Deed and the applicable Issuer Deed of Charge. If the Funding 2 Security
      Trustee retires or is removed in accordance with the provisions of the
      Funding 2 Deed of Charge, a Note Trustee retires or is removed in
      accordance with the provisions of the applicable Issuer Trust Deed
      and/or another Issuer Security Trustee retires or is removed in
      accordance with the provisions of the applicable Issuer Deed of Charge,
      then the Issuer Security Trustee shall retire at the same time in
      accordance with the provisions of this Clause 16 (Appointment, Removal
      and Retirement). In each case the successor Issuer Security Trustee, the
      Funding 2 Security Trustee, each successor Note Trustee and each other
      successor Issuer Security Trustee shall be the same person or persons.

17.   Remuneration and Indemnification of Issuer Security Trustee

17.1  Normal Remuneration: The Master Issuer shall (subject as hereinafter
      provided) pay to the Issuer Security Trustee remuneration of such amount
      and on such Monthly Payment Dates as shall, in each case, from time to
      time be agreed by the Master Issuer and the Issuer Security Trustee. The
      rate of remuneration in force from time to time may upon the final
      redemption of the whole of the Issuer Notes of any Series be reduced by
      such amount as shall be agreed between the Master Issuer and the Issuer
      Security Trustee, such reduced remuneration to be calculated from such
      date as shall be agreed as aforesaid. Such remuneration shall be payable
      in priority to payments to Noteholders and other Issuer Secured
      Creditors on the applicable Monthly Payment Dates subject to and in
      accordance with the relevant Issuer Priority of Payments and the
      provisions of this Deed. Such remuneration shall accrue from day to day
      and be payable up to and including the date when, all the Issuer Notes
      having become due for redemption, the redemption monies and interest
      thereon to the date of redemption have been paid to the Principal Paying
      Agent or, as the case may be, the Issuer Security Trustee PROVIDED THAT
      if upon due presentation of any Note Certificate or any cheque payment
      of the monies due in respect thereof is improperly withheld or

                                      43
<PAGE>

      refused, remuneration will commence again to accrue until payment to
      Noteholders is made.

17.2  Extra Remuneration: In the event of the occurrence of a Note Event of
      Default or the Issuer Security Trustee considering it expedient or
      necessary or being requested by the Master Issuer to undertake duties
      which the Issuer Security Trustee and the Master Issuer agree to be of
      an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal
      duties of the Issuer Security Trustee under this Deed, the Master Issuer
      shall pay to the Issuer Security Trustee such additional remuneration
      and on such Monthly Payment Dates as shall, in each case, be agreed
      between them;

17.3  Failure to Agree: In the event of the Issuer Security Trustee and the
      Master Issuer failing to agree:

      (a)   (in a case to which Clause 17.1 (Normal Remuneration) applies)
            upon normal remuneration; or

      (b)   (in a case to which Clause 17.2 (Extra Remuneration) applies) upon
            whether such duties shall be of an exceptional nature or otherwise
            outside the scope of the normal duties of the Issuer Security
            Trustee under these presents, or upon such additional
            remuneration;

      such matters shall be determined by an investment bank (acting as an
      expert and not as an arbitrator) selected by the Issuer Security Trustee
      and approved by the Master Issuer or, failing such approval, nominated
      (on the application of the Issuer Security Trustee) by the President for
      the time being of The Law Society of England and Wales (the expenses
      involved in such nomination and the fees of such investment bank being
      payable by the Master Issuer) and the determination of any such
      investment bank shall be final and binding upon the Issuer Security
      Trustee and the Master Issuer.

17.4  Expenses: In addition to the remuneration hereunder, the Master Issuer
      shall on written request, pay all other costs, charges and expenses
      (against production of invoices) which the Issuer Security Trustee may
      properly incur in relation to:

      (a)   the negotiation, preparation and execution of, the exercise of its
            powers and discretions and the performance of its duties under
            these presents and any other Issuer Transaction Documents
            including, but not limited to legal and travelling expenses; and

      (b)   any other action taken by or on behalf of the Issuer Security
            Trustee to enforce the obligations of the Master Issuer under or
            resolving any doubt in respect of these presents and/or any of the
            other Issuer Transaction Documents.

17.5  Indemnity: The Master Issuer shall indemnify the Issuer Security Trustee
      in respect of all Liabilities to which it (or any person appointed by it
      hereunder) may be or become liable or which may be properly incurred by
      it (or any such person as aforesaid) in the execution or purported
      execution of any of its trusts, powers, authorities and discretions
      hereunder or its functions under any such appointment or in respect of
      any other matter or thing done or omitted in any way relating to these
      presents and any of the other Issuer Transaction Documents provided that
      it is

                                      44
<PAGE>

      expressly stated that Clause 15.12 (Issuer Security Trustee Liable for
      Negligence etc.) shall apply in relation to these provisions.

17.6  Stamp Duties: The Master Issuer shall pay all stamp duties and other
      duties or taxes of a similar nature, including for the avoidance of
      doubt any duty levied under the Stamp Act 1891 as amended and
      supplemented, (if any) payable in the United Kingdom on or arising out
      of or in consequence of:

      (a)   the execution and delivery of this Deed and any other Issuer
            Transaction Document to which the Issuer Security Trustee is a
            party; and

      (b)   any action in any jurisdiction taken by or on behalf of the Issuer
            Security Trustee. If the Issuer Security Trustee (or any
            Noteholder or Issuer Secured Creditor) where permitted under these
            presents or the Issuer Trust Deed to do so shall take any
            proceedings against the Master Issuer in any other jurisdiction
            and if for the purpose of any such proceedings, this Deed is taken
            into any such jurisdiction and any stamp duties or other duties or
            taxes become payable thereon in any such jurisdiction, the Master
            Issuer will pay (or reimburse the person making payment of) such
            stamp duties or other duties or taxes (including interest or
            penalties).

17.7  VAT: The Master Issuer shall in addition pay to the Issuer Security
      Trustee an amount equal to any value added tax or similar tax chargeable
      in respect of its remuneration under this Deed.

17.8  Interest: Subject as provided in Clause 17.9 (Payment), all sums payable
      by the Master Issuer under this Clause 17 (Remuneration and
      Indemnification of Issuer Security Trustee) shall be payable on demand
      or, in the case of any remuneration payable under Clause 17.1 (Normal
      Remuneration) on the due date specified therein and shall carry interest
      at the rate per annum, which is one per cent. per annum above the base
      rate from time to time of the National Westminster Bank Plc from the
      date on which they were paid, charged or incurred by the Issuer Security
      Trustee or, in the case of remuneration, the due date for payment
      thereof, to the date of actual payment, and in all other cases shall (if
      not paid on the date specified in such demand or, if later, within three
      days after such demand and, in either case, the Issuer Security Trustee
      so requires) carry interest at such rate from the date specified in such
      demand.

17.9  Payment: Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Deed, any amount
      owing by the Master Issuer pursuant to this Clause 17 (Remuneration and
      Indemnification of Issuer Security Trustee) shall only be payable by the
      Master Issuer subject to and in accordance with the applicable Issuer
      Priority of Payments which applies at such time.

17.10 Survival: Unless otherwise specifically stated in any discharge of this
      Deed, the provisions of this Clause 17 (Remuneration and Indemnification
      of Issuer Security Trustee) shall continue in full force and effect
      notwithstanding such discharge.

18.   Modification and Waiver

18.1  Modification: Subject as expressly provided otherwise in any Issuer
      Transaction Document, the Issuer Security Trustee may (subject to the
      provisions of Clause 15.12

                                      45
<PAGE>

      (Issuer Security Trustee to act on directions)) from time to time and
      without the consent or sanction of the Noteholders or any other Issuer
      Secured Creditor (other than the Note Trustee (if it is a party to the
      relevant document)) at any time concur with any person in making or
      sanctioning any modification or amendment to any of the Issuer
      Transaction Documents:

      (a)   provided that the Issuer Security Trustee is of the opinion that
            such modification would not be materially prejudicial to the
            interests of any Issuer Secured Creditors;

      (b)   which in the opinion of the Issuer Security Trustee such
            modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to
            correct an error established as such to the satisfaction of the
            Issuer Security Trustee; or

      (c)   which it may be necessary to make or which are required by the
            Rating Agencies in respect of any person who has executed a Deed
            of Accession pursuant to Clause 2 (Issuer Security) hereto.

      For the purposes of this Clause 18.1 (Modification), a proposed
      modification will not materially harm the interest of any Issuer Secured
      Creditors solely as a result of any Funding 2 Issuer executing a Deed of
      Accession pursuant to Clause 2.11 (New Intercompany Loan) of the Funding
      2 Deed of Charge or the execution of a Deed of Accession.

      Any such modification may be made on such terms and subject to such
      conditions (if any) as the Issuer Security Trustee may determine, shall
      be binding upon the Master Issuer and the Issuer Secured Creditors and,
      unless the Issuer Security Trustee agrees otherwise, shall be notified
      by the Master Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with the
      Conditions and to the other Issuer Secured Creditors as soon as
      practicable thereafter. So long as any of the Issuer Notes are rated by
      the Rating Agencies, the Master Issuer shall notify the Rating Agencies
      in writing as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter of any
      modification to the provisions of this Deed, the Issuer Notes, the
      Issuer Trust Deed or any of the other Issuer Transaction Documents. Each
      of the Issuer Secured Creditors agrees from time to time to do and
      perform such other and further acts and execute and deliver any and all
      such other instruments as may be required to carry out and effect the
      intent and purpose of this Clause 18.1 (Modification and Waiver)).

18.2  Waiver: Subject as expressly provided otherwise in the Issuer Notes or
      in any other Transaction Document and to Clause 15.13 (Issuer Security
      Trustee to act at directions), the Issuer Security Trustee may from time
      to time and at any time without the consent or sanction of the
      Noteholders or any other Issuer Secured Creditor and without prejudice
      to its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, but only if and in so
      far as in its opinion the interests of the Issuer Secured Creditors
      would not be materially prejudiced thereby waive or authorise any breach
      or proposed breach by the Master Issuer or any other party thereto of
      any of the covenants or provisions contained in this Deed or in any of
      the other Transaction Documents PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT the Issuer Security
      Trustee shall not exercise any powers conferred on it by this Clause
      18.2 (Waiver) in contravention of any express direction or request given
      in accordance with Clause 15.9 (Assumption of no Intercompany Loan
      Default) (but so that no such direction or request shall affect any
      waiver, authorisation or

                                      46
<PAGE>

      determination previously given or made). Any such waiver, authorisation
      or determination:

      (a)   may be given or made on such terms and subject to such conditions
            (if any) as the Issuer Security Trustee may determine;

      (b)   shall be binding on the Noteholders and the other Issuer Secured
            Creditors; and

      (c)   if, but only if, the Issuer Security Trustee shall so require,
            shall be notified by the Master Issuer to the Noteholders in
            accordance with the Conditions and to the other Issuer Secured
            Creditors as soon as practicable thereafter.

19.   Miscellaneous Provisions

19.1  Evidence of Indebtedness: In any action, proceedings or claim relating
      to this Deed or the Issuer Security, a statement as to any amount due to
      any Issuer Secured Creditor or of the Issuer Secured Obligations or any
      part thereof or a statement of any amounts which have been notified to
      the Issuer Security Trustee as being amounts due to any Issuer Secured
      Creditor which is certified as being correct by an officer of the Issuer
      Security Trustee or an officer of the relevant Issuer Secured Creditor
      shall, save in the case of manifest error, be conclusive evidence that
      such amount is in fact due and payable.

19.2  Liability: All the liabilities and obligations of the Master Issuer
      under or by virtue of this Deed shall not be impaired by:

      (a)   any failure of this Deed to be legal, valid, binding and
            enforceable as regards the Master Issuer whether as a result of a
            lack of corporate powers or of directors' authority, defective
            execution or for any other reason whatsoever;

      (b)   any giving of time, forbearance, indulgence or waiver as regards
            the Master Issuer;

      (c)   a discharge or release of the Master Issuer; or

      (d)   any other matter or event whatsoever whether similar to the
            foregoing or not which might have the effect of impairing all or
            any of its liabilities or obligations except proper and valid
            payment or discharge of all Issuer Secured Obligations and amounts
            whatsoever which this Deed provides are to be paid by the Master
            Issuer or an absolute discharge or release of the Master Issuer
            signed by the Issuer Secured Creditors and the Issuer Security
            Trustee.

19.3  Issuer Secured Creditors: Each Issuer Secured Creditor shall be bound by
      the provisions of this Deed as if it contained covenants by each Issuer
      Secured Creditor in favour of the Issuer Security Trustee and every
      other Issuer Secured Creditor to observe and be bound by all the
      provisions of this Deed expressed to apply to the Issuer Secured
      Creditors.

20.   Rights cumulative

      The respective rights of the Note Trustee, the Issuer Security Trustee,
      the Issuer Secured Creditors and any Receiver to this Deed are
      cumulative and may be exercised as often as each considers appropriate
      and are in addition to their respective rights under the general law. No
      failure on the part of the Note Trustee, the Issuer Security Trustee,
      the Issuer Secured Creditors or any Receiver to exercise, and no delay
      in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
      nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
      other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
      The remedies in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any
      remedies provided by law.

21.   Assignment

      None of the Issuer Secured Creditors may assign, encumber or transfer
      all or any part of its rights or benefits and/or transfer its
      obligations under this Deed without the prior written consent of the
      Issuer Security Trustee.

22.   Non Petition Covenant; Corporate Obligations

22.1  Corporate Obligations: To the extent permitted by law, no recourse under
      any obligation, covenant, or agreement of any person contained in this
      Deed shall be had against any shareholder, officer or director of such
      person as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal
      proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly
      agreed and understood that this Deed is a corporate obligation of each
      person expressed to be a party hereto and no personal liability shall
      attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers, agents or
      directors of such person as such, or any of them, under or by reason of

                          ISSUER PRIORITY OF PAYMENTS

1.    Priority of Payments for Issuer Available Revenue Receipts Prior to
      Enforcement of the Issuer Security

      On each Monthly Payment Date falling in a Monthly Payment Period, all
      Funding 2 Available Revenue Receipts received by the Master Issuer from
      Funding 2:

      (i)   in respect of items (B), (S), (U) and (V) of the Funding 2
            Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments shall be credited to
            the Issuer Expense Sub-Ledger; and

      (ii)  being interest paid on a Loan Tranche shall be credited to a
            sub-ledger (in respect of the related Series and Class of Issuer
            Notes) of the Issuer Note Revenue Sub-Ledger to the Issuer Revenue
            Ledger.

      On each Distribution Date the Issuer Cash Manager will calculate whether
      there will be an excess or a deficit of Issuer Available Revenue
      Receipts to pay the aggregate of the payments and provisions required to
      be made under items (A) through (N) of the Issuer Pre-Enforcement
      Revenue Priority of Payments in the immediately following Monthly
      Payment Period.

      Prior to the enforcement of the Issuer Security, on or prior to the
      first day of each Monthly Payment Period, the Issuer Cash Manager will,
      subject to the rules for application of Issuer Available Revenue
      Receipts set out in paragraph 4 of this Schedule 2, allocate the Issuer
      Available Revenue Receipts towards the payments and provisions in
      respect of Amounts due on all Monthly Payment Dates falling in such
      Monthly Payment Period in the order of priority set out in the third
      paragraph below (in each case only if and to the extent that payments or
      provisions of a higher priority in respect of amounts due on any Monthly
      Payment Date falling in such Monthly Payment Period have been made in
      full) (the "Issuer Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments"). The
      Issuer Available Revenue Receipts so allocated will not be applied in
      satisfaction of any payment or provision until the Monthly Payment Date
      in such Monthly Payment Period on which such payment or provision is
      required to be made.

      The allocation of Issuer Available Revenue Receipts towards the payments
      and provisions in respect of amounts due under any item of the Issuer
      Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments on all Monthly Payment
      Dates falling in such Monthly Payment Period shall be made in no order
      of priority but in proportion to the respective amounts due under such
      item (in each case only if and to the extent that payments or provisions
      of a higher priority in respect of amounts due under such item on any
      Monthly Payment Date falling in such Monthly Payment Period have been
      made in full).

      On each Monthly Payment Date falling in the relevant Monthly Payment
      Period and until enforcement of the Issuer Security pursuant to this
      Deed of Charge or until such time as there are no Issuer Secured
      Obligations outstanding, the amount of Issuer Available Revenue Receipts
      so allocated towards each payment and provision in

                                      57
<PAGE>

      respect of amounts due on the relevant Monthly Payment Date shall be
      applied in making such payment or provision (save that, in respect of
      amounts due to third parties by the Master Issuer pursuant to paragraph
      (C) below, such payments will be made when due) in the order of priority
      set out in the Issuer Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments.

      The following order of priority of payments is the Issuer
      Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments:

      (A)   first, in no order of priority among them but in proportion to the
            amounts due in the relevant Monthly Payment Period, to pay amounts
            due to the Note Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee, together
            with interest and (to the extent not already inclusive) VAT on
            those amounts, and to provide for any amounts due or to become due
            prior to the next following Monthly Payment Period to the Note
            Trustee and the Issuer Security Trustee, under the Issuer Trust
            Deed, this Deed of Charge or any other Transaction Document to
            which the Master Issuer is a party;

      (B)   second, in no order of priority among them but in proportion to
            the respective amounts due in the relevant Monthly Payment Period,
            to pay amounts due to the Agent Bank, the Paying Agents, the
            Transfer Agent and the Registrar together with interest and (to
            the extent not already inclusive) VAT on those amounts, and to
            provide for any costs, charges, liabilities and expenses due or to
            become due prior to the next following Monthly Payment Period to
            the Agent Bank, the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent and the
            Registrar under the Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement;

      (C)   third, to pay amounts due to any third party creditors of the
            Master Issuer (other than those referred to later in this order of
            priority of payments or in the Issuer Pre-Enforcement Principal
            Priority of Payments), of which the Issuer Cash Manager has notice
            prior to the relevant Monthly Payment Period, which amounts have

      application of Issuer Available Principal Receipts set out in paragraph
      4 of this Schedule 2, allocate the Issuer Available Principal Receipts

      only if and to the extent that payments or provisions of a higher
      priority in respect of amounts due on any Monthly Payment Date falling
      in such Monthly Payment Period have been made in full) (the "Issuer

      Principal Receipts so allocated will not be applied in satisfaction of
      any payment or provision until the Monthly Payment Date in such Monthly

      provisions of a higher priority in respect of amounts due under such
      item on any Monthly Payment Date falling in such Monthly Payment Period
      have been made in full).

      On each Monthly Payment Date falling in the relevant Monthly Payment
      Period and until enforcement of the Issuer Security pursuant to this
      Deed of Charge or until such time as there are no outstanding Issuer
      Secured Obligations, the amount of Issuer Available Principal Receipts
      so allocated towards each payment and provision in

                  of their issuance; and

                  Issuer Notes;

                                      72

      (b)   the Programme Reserve Required Percentage or the method of
            computing the Programme Reserve Required Amount, without the
            consent of any Issuer Secured Creditors, so long as the Issuer
            Security Trustee and the Master Issuer obtain confirmation from
            the Rating Agencies that such adjustments will not cause a
            reduction, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings of any
            outstanding Issuer Notes.
