     (c)  the Mortgages Trustee is not aware that the purchase of the New

          then current rating by the Ratings Agencies (or any of them) of the
          Notes;

     (d)  as at the relevant Assignment Date, the Seller has not received any
          notice that the short term, unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated
          debt obligations of the Seller are not rated at least P-1 by Moody's,
          A-1 by S&P and F1 by Fitch at the time of, and immediately following,
          the assignment of the New Loans to the Mortgages Trustee;

     (e)  as at the relevant Assignment Date, the aggregate Outstanding
          Principal Balances of the Loans in the Mortgages Trust, in respect of
          which the aggregate amount in arrears is more than three times the

          Outstanding Principal Balances of the Loans in the Mortgages Trust;

     (f)  except where Funding 1 pays amounts to the Mortgages Trustee in

     (g)  the assignment of the New Portfolio on the relevant Assignment Date
          does not result in the product of WAFF and WALS for the Portfolio
          after such purchase calculated on the relevant Assignment Date in the
          same way as for the Initial Portfolio (or as agreed by the Servicer
          and the Rating Agencies from time to time) exceeding the product of
          WAFF and WALS for the Portfolio calculated on the most recent Closing
          Date plus 0.25 per cent.;

     (h)  the yield (as calculated below) of the Loans in the Mortgages Trust
          together with the yield of the New Loans to be assigned to the
          Mortgages Trustee on the relevant Assignment Date (together for the
          purposes of this paragraph, the "RELEVANT LOANS") is at least 0.50 per
          cent. greater than Sterling-LIBOR for three-month sterling deposits as

          in each case as at the relevant Assignment Date. The yield of the
          Relevant Loans is to be calculated as follows:

                              (A X B)+(C X (D-E+F))+(G X (H+I))

               the relevant Assignment Date

          J  = the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Relevant Loans on the
               relevant Assignment Date;

     (i)  the assignment of the New Loans on the relevant Assignment Date does
          not result in the loan-to-value ratio of the Loans and the New Loans
          after application of the LTV Test on the relevant Assignment Date
          exceeding the loan-to-value ratio (based on the LTV Test) of Loans in
          the Portfolio on the most recent Closing Date plus 0.25 per cent.;

     (j)  the assignment of the New Loans on the relevant Assignment Date does
          not result in Loans (other than Fixed Rate Loans) which after taking
          into account the Funding 1 Swap will yield less than Sterling-LIBOR
          plus 0.50 per cent. as at the relevant Assignment Date and that have
          more than 2 years remaining on their incentive period accounting for

                                       6
<PAGE>

          of the Rating Agencies that such New Loan Types may be assigned to the
          Mortgages Trustee and that such assignment of New Loan Types would not
          have an adverse effect on the then current ratings of the Notes;

     (o)  the Funding 1 Swap Agreement has been modified as required (or, if
          appropriate, Funding 1 has entered into a new swap agreement) to hedge
          against the interest rates payable in respect of such New Loans and

          Date.

5.   TRUST OF MONIES

5.1  Notwithstanding the assignments effected by this Agreement, if at, or at

<PAGE>

     Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 and/or the Security Trustee by reason of
     the doing of any act, matter or thing referred to in this CLAUSE 6 and
     CLAUSE 7.4.

7.   UNDERTAKINGS

7.1  The Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 undertake to the Seller that they will
     at all times (or will direct the Servicer at all times to) use reasonable
     endeavours to administer and enforce (and exercise their powers and rights
     and perform their obligations under) the Loans comprised in the Portfolio
     and their Related Security in accordance with the Seller's Policy (for so
     long as it exists and thereafter in accordance with such policies as would
     be applied by a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender in the conduct of its
     business), provided that if the Seller fails to comply with its obligations
     to repurchase any Loan and its Related Security pursuant to CLAUSE 8.5 the
     Mortgages Trustee shall be entitled to waive any Early Repayment Fee in
     respect of such Loan and its Related Security if, in the Mortgages
     Trustee's reasonable opinion, such waiver is reasonably necessary in order
     to effect an interest rate change.

7.2  The Seller hereby undertakes to the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 that,
     in the event that any Borrower establishes that it has at any time prior to
     the Initial Closing Date or, as the case may be, the relevant Assignment
     Date, paid to the Seller any amounts in excess of sums due to the Seller as
     at the date of payment under the Mortgage Conditions applicable to that
     Loan, the Seller will reimburse the Borrower for such overpayment together
     with any interest, cost or other expense associated therewith. The Seller
     further agrees to hold the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 harmless against
     any such claims and to indemnify the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 on an
     after Tax basis in relation to any costs, expense, loss or other claim
     which may arise in connection therewith. Any payment made by the Seller to
     the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 in discharge of the foregoing indemnity
     shall be regarded as a rebate of part of the Purchase Price of the relevant
     Loan.

7.3  Each of the Seller and the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 undertakes to
     each other and to the Security Trustee that if and to the extent that any
     determination shall be made by any court or other competent authority or
     any ombudsman in respect of any Loan and its Related Security that:

     (a)  any term which relates to the recovery of interest under the Standard
          Documentation applicable to that Loan and its Related Security is
          unfair; or

     (b)  the interest payable under any Loan is to be set by reference to HVR 1
          or HVR 2 (as applicable) (and not a rate set by the Seller's
          successors or assigns or those deriving title from them); or

     (c)  the variable margin above the Bank of England repo rate under any
          Tracker Rate Loan must be set by the Seller (rather than by its
          successors or assigns or those deriving title from them); or

     (d)  the interest payable under any Loan is to be set by reference to an
          interest rate other than that set or purported to be set by either the
          Servicer or the Mortgages Trustee as a result of the Seller having
          more than one variable mortgage rate,

     then, at Funding 1's direction (subject to the prior written consent of the
     Security Trustee), the Mortgages Trustee will serve upon the Seller a
     notice in the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice requiring the Seller to
     repurchase the relevant Loan and all other Loans under the relevant
     Mortgage Account and its Related Security in accordance with CLAUSE 8.5
     (but in the case of a determination in respect of (b) above, only if at any
     time on or after such

                                       11
<PAGE>

     determination, HVR 1 or HVR 2 (as applicable) shall be below or shall fall
     below the standard variable rate of interest set by such successors or
     assigns or those deriving title from them).

7.4  The Seller hereby undertakes to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the
     Security Trustee that:

     (a)  if the long term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt
          obligations of the Seller cease to be assigned a rating of Baa2 or
          higher from Moody's and BBB or higher from S&P and BBB or higher from
          Fitch, the Seller shall deliver to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1,
          the Security Trustee and the Rating Agencies a draft letter of notice
          to each of the Borrowers of the assignment, sale and purchase effected
          by this Agreement; and

     (b)  if the long term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt
          obligations of the Seller cease to be assigned a rating of Baa3 or
          higher from Moody's and BBB- or higher from S&P and BBB- or higher
          from Fitch, then the Seller shall, within 20 London Business Days of
          it becoming aware of such a rating being assigned, give notice of the
          sale and purchase effected by this Agreement to each Borrower.

7.5  The Seller undertakes to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security
     Trustee that, pending perfection under CLAUSE 6, the Seller:

     (a)  shall not do or omit to do any act or thing which might, in the
          reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee, prejudice the interests of
          the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and/or the Security Trustee in the
          Portfolio;

     (b)  shall promptly notify the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the
          Security Trustee in writing if it receives written notice of any
          litigation or claim calling into question in any material way the
          Seller's or the Mortgages Trustee's title to any Loan comprised in the
          Portfolio or its Related Security or if it becomes aware of any
          material breach of any of the Representations and Warranties or other
          obligations under this Agreement;

     (c)  shall, if reasonably required so to do by the Mortgages Trustee or the
          Security Trustee, participate or join in any legal proceedings to the
          extent necessary to protect preserve and enforce the Seller's or the
          Mortgages Trustee's or Funding 1's or the Security Trustee's title to
          or interest in any Loan or its Related Security;

     (d)  shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain the title numbers to each
          Property in respect of which a Mortgage is registered to the extent
          that such title number does not appear in the Exhibit to this
          Agreement (or, as the case may be, the relevant New Portfolio Notice)
          and shall in any event obtain each such title number prior to the
          Interest Payment Date falling in the month during which the first
          anniversary of the Closing Date (or, as the case may be, the relevant
          Assignment Date) falls; and

     (e)  shall make and enforce claims under the Buildings Policies and the
          Halifax Insurance Policies and hold the proceeds of such claims on
          trust for the Mortgages Trustee or as the Mortgages Trustee may
          direct.

7.6  The Seller hereby further undertakes to the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1
     that it is and at all times shall remain solely responsible for funding any
     Delayed Cashbacks and any Home Cash Reserve Drawings and Flexible Loan
     Drawings (if any) made by a Borrower and for

                                       12
<PAGE>

     funding any request for any Further Advance made by a Borrower and, for the
     avoidance of doubt, neither the Mortgages Trustee nor Funding 1 will be
     required to advance moneys to the Seller or to a Borrower in order to fund
     such a Delayed Cashback, Home Cash Reserve Drawing, Flexible Loan Drawing
     (if any), or Further Advance in any circumstances whatsoever.

7.7  The Seller shall grant security powers of attorney to the Mortgages
     Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee in the form set out in SCHEDULE
     5 allowing any of the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee
     and their delegates from time to time (inter alia) to set the Seller's
     Variable Base Rate in the circumstances referred to in CLAUSE 4 of the
     Servicing Agreement and/or following perfection pursuant to CLAUSE 6.1
     PROVIDED THAT nothing in this CLAUSE 7.7 shall prevent the Seller (or any
     of its attorneys from time to time) from setting a higher Seller's Variable
     Base Rate than those set or to be set or required or to be required by the
     Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 or the Security Trustee.

8.   WARRANTIES AND REPURCHASE BY THE SELLER

8.1  (a) The Seller hereby makes the Representations and Warranties:

          (i)  in respect of each Loan and its Related Security in the Initial
               Portfolio as at the date hereof and on the Initial Closing Date;
               and

          (ii) in relation to each New Loan and its Related Security in a New
               Portfolio, on the date of the service of the relevant New
               Portfolio Notice and on the relevant Assignment Date.

     (b)  Each statement comprised in the Representations and Warranties shall
          be construed as a separate statement and (save as expressly provided
          to the contrary) shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or
          inference from the terms of any other such statement.

     (c)  The Seller acknowledges:

          (i)  that the Representations and Warranties are made with a view to
               inducing the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security
               Trustee (as the case may be) either to enter into this Agreement
               and the other Transaction Documents to which is a party or to
               agree to purchase the New Loans and their Related Security
               comprised in each New Portfolio, and

          (ii) that each of the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security
               Trustee has entered into this Agreement and the other Transaction
               Documents to which it is a party in reliance upon the
               Representations and Warranties notwithstanding any information in
               fact possessed or discoverable by the Mortgages Trustee, Funding
               1 and/or the Security Trustee or otherwise disclosed to any of
               them, and

          (iii) that prior to entering into this Agreement and the other
               Transaction Documents to which each is a party neither the
               Mortgages Trustee nor Funding 1 nor the Security Trustee has made
               any enquiries of any matter.

8.2  The Mortgages Trustee's, Funding 1's and the Security Trustee's sole remedy
     in respect of a breach of any of the Representations and Warranties shall
     be to take action under this CLAUSE 8 or under CLAUSE 6 of the Mortgages
     Trust Deed.

     Warranties in respect of any Loan and/or its Related Security made under
     CLAUSE 8.1 or if any of those Representations or Warranties proves to be
     materially untrue as at the Closing Date or, as the case may be, the
     relevant Assignment Date, and provided that:

          Business Days' notice in writing;

     (b)  the Mortgages Trustee has obtained the prior written consent of the
          Security Trustee; and

     (c)  such breach or untruth, where capable of remedy, is not remedied to
          the reasonable satisfaction of Funding 1 and the Security Trustee
          within the 20 London Business Days period referred to in (a) (or such
          longer period as Funding 1 and the Security Trustee may direct the
          Mortgages Trustee in writing),

     then at Funding 1's direction (subject to the prior written consent of the
     Security Trustee) the Mortgages Trustee shall serve upon the Seller a
     notice in the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice requiring the Seller to
     repurchase the relevant Loan and its Related Security (and any other Loan
     secured or intended to be secured by that Related Security or any part of
     it) in accordance with CLAUSE 8.5.

8.4  (a)  If the Seller accepts an application from, or makes an offer

          direction (subject to the prior written consent of the Security
          Trustee), the Mortgages Trustee will serve upon the Seller a notice in
          the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice requiring the Seller to

          Loan secured or intended to be secured by that Related Security or any
          part of it) in accordance with CLAUSE 8.5.

     (b)  If the Seller accepts an application from, or makes an offer (which is
          accepted) to, a Borrower for a Product Switch and (except as provided
          in paragraph (c) below) on the immediately preceding Distribution
          Date, the Seller is in breach of the conditions referred to in CLAUSES
          4.2(A) to (P) inclusive as if references therein to "New Loans" and
          "New Portfolio" were references to the Loan which would result from
          the implementation of such Product Switch and as if references to
          "Assignment Date" were references to the date when the Seller and
          relevant Borrower complete such Product Switch then (save in the case
          of any Loan which is then in arrears) from and including the relevant
          Distribution Date to but excluding the date when such conditions have
          been satisfied, at Funding 1's direction (subject to the prior written
          consent of the Security Trustee), the Mortgages Trustee will serve
          upon the Seller a notice in the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice
          requiring the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan and its Related
          Security (and any other Loan secured or intended to be secured by that
          Related Security or any part of it) in accordance with CLAUSE 8.5.

     (c)  If the Seller accepts an application from, or makes an offer (which is
          accepted) to, a Borrower for a Product Switch, the effect of which is
          to extend the final maturity date of the relevant Loan beyond June
          2040 then, at Funding 1's direction (subject to the prior written
          consent of the Security Trustee), the Mortgages Trustee will serve
          upon the Seller a notice in the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice
          requiring the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan and its Related
          Security in accordance with CLAUSES 8.5 notwithstanding that the
          conditions referred to in CLAUSES 4.2(A) to (P) have been satisfied.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     (d)  For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not accept an application
          from nor make an offer (which is accepted) to a Borrower for a Further
          Advance or a Product Switch if the relevant Loan to which such Further
          Advance or Product Switch relates is then in arrears subject only to
          such exceptions as made on a case by case basis as would be acceptable
          to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender.

8.5  Upon receipt of a Loan Repurchase Notice duly signed on behalf of the
     Mortgages Trustee, the Seller shall sign and return a duplicate copy and
     shall repurchase from the Mortgages Trustee, and the Mortgages Trustee
     shall re-assign to the Seller free from the Security Interests created by
     the Funding 1 Deed of Charge, the relevant Loan (and any other Loan secured
     or intended to be secured by that Related Security or any part of it) and
     their Related Security. Completion of such repurchase shall take place on
     the Distribution Date after receipt by the Seller of such Loan Repurchase
     Notice or such other date as the Mortgages Trustee may direct in the Loan
     Repurchase Notice (provided that the date so specified by the Mortgages
     Trustee shall not be later than 90 days after receipt by the Seller of such
     notice) when the Seller shall pay to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account (or
     as the Mortgages Trustee shall direct) an amount equal to the aggregate
     Outstanding Principal Balance of such Loan or Loans and any Related
     Security and all Arrears of Interest and Accrued Interest relating thereto
     (save for the repurchase of any Loan and its Related Security which is
     subject to a Further Advance or a Product Switch pursuant to CLAUSE 8.4 in
     which case the Seller shall pay to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account (or as
     the Mortgages Trustee shall direct) an amount equal to the aggregate
     Outstanding Principal Balance of such Loan and its Related Security and
     Accrued Interest relating thereto only) as at the date of such repurchase
     and the provisions of CLAUSE 8.6 shall apply.

8.6  On the date of completion of any repurchase of a Loan and its Related
     Security in accordance with CLAUSE 8.5 above, the Security Trustee, the
     Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 shall at the cost of the Seller execute and
     deliver, or cause their respective duly authorised attorneys to execute and
     deliver, to the Seller:

     (a)  a memorandum of release of such Loan and its Related Security from the
          security constituted by the Funding 1 Deed of Charge in a form
          reasonably acceptable to the Seller;

     (b)  if perfection of the assignment to the Mortgages Trustee has occurred
          in accordance with CLAUSE 6:

          (i)  if the relevant Mortgage is over Registered Land, a transfer of
               such Mortgage to the Seller in the form of the Registered
               Transfer; or

          (ii) if the relevant Mortgage is over Unregistered Land, a transfer of
               such Mortgage to the Seller in the form of the Unregistered
               Transfer;

     (c)  a re-assignment of the rights of the Mortgages Trustee in respect of
          the relevant Related Security each in a form reasonably acceptable to
          the Seller (which shall, in the case of the re-assignment of the MIG
          Policies, be substantially in the form of the Assignment of MIG
          Policies); and

     (d)  a notification to the Servicer that all further sums due in respect of
          such repurchased Loan are for the Seller's account.

                                       15

<PAGE>
     Upon such completion the Seller shall cease to be under any further
     obligation to hold any Title Deeds or other documents relating to such Loan
     or Loans and its/their Related Security to the order of the Mortgages
     Trustee and if the Mortgages Trustee holds the Title Deeds it will return
     them to the Seller. Any repurchase by the Seller of or in respect of a Loan
     or Loans and its or their Related Security shall constitute a discharge and
     release of the Seller from any claims which the Mortgages Trustee and/or
     Funding 1 or the Security Trustee may have against the Seller arising from
     the relevant Representation or Warranty in relation to that Loan or Loans
     and its or their Related Security only but shall not affect any rights
     arising from a breach of any other express provision of this Agreement or
     any Representation or Warranty in relation to any other Loan and other
     Related Security.

8.7  After the Seller becomes aware of any event and/or fact which may
     reasonably give rise to an obligation under any clause of this Agreement to
     repurchase any Loan it shall notify the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and
     the Security Trustee in writing thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.

8.8  The terms of this CLAUSE 8 shall not prejudice the rights of the Mortgages
     Trustee or the Beneficiaries under the Mortgages Trust Deed.

8.9  The parties to this Agreement may, with the prior written consent of the
     Security Trustee, waive or amend the Representations and Warranties. In
     determining whether to give its consent to the proposed waiver or
     amendments to the Representations and Warranties, the Security Trustee
     shall exercise its discretion in accordance with the terms of clause 25.8
     of the Funding 1 Deed of Charge.

9.   OTHER WARRANTIES

     On the date of this Agreement, the Closing Date, and each Assignment Date,
     the Seller represents and warrants to each of the Mortgages Trustee,
     Funding 1 and the Security Trustee that:

     (a)  the Seller has not acquired or owned or possessed any rights in any
          Issuer, the Mortgages Trustee or Funding 1 such that it would
          "control" such Issuer within the meaning of Section 416 ICTA 1988; and

     (b)  there is not any "connection" (within the meaning of Section 87
          Finance Act 1996) between any Issuer and any Borrower.

10.  FURTHER ASSURANCE

     The parties hereto agree that they will co-operate fully to do all such
     further acts and things and execute any further documents that may be
     necessary or desirable to give full effect to the transactions contemplated
     by this Agreement (but subject always to CLAUSE 6).

11.  CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH

     Without prejudice to CLAUSES 7 and 8, Funding 1, the Mortgages Trustee and
     the Security Trustee severally acknowledge to and agree with the Seller,
     and the Security Trustee acknowledges to and agrees with Funding 1 and the
     Mortgages Trustee, that the Seller shall have no liability or
     responsibility (whether, in either case, contractual or tortious, express
     or implied) for any loss or damage for or in respect of any breach of, or
     any act or omission in respect of, any of its obligations hereunder other
     than loss or damage directly (and not indirectly or consequentially)
     suffered by the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 or the

                                       16
<PAGE>

     assets comprised in the Funding 1 Security constituted by the Funding 1
     Deed of Charge by reason of such breach, act or omission. For this purpose
     (and without limiting the scope of the above exclusion in respect of
     indirect or consequential loss or damage) any loss or damage suffered by
     the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 or such assets as a result of the
     breach, act or omission in question also having been or given rise to an
     Event of Default or enforcement of the Funding 1 Security contributed by
     the Funding 1 Deed of Charge shall be treated as indirect or consequential
     loss or damage PROVIDED THAT this sentence shall not apply to any direct or
     non-consequential loss or damage arising from any such breach, act or
     omission.

12.  SUBORDINATION

     The Seller agrees with Funding 1, the Mortgages Trustee and the Security
     Trustee that on the enforcement of any Mortgage any sums owed to the Seller
     by a Borrower and which are secured under such Mortgage and the rights and
     remedies of the Seller in respect of the sums owed to the Seller shall at
     all times be subject and subordinated to any sums owed to the Mortgages
     Trustee by the Borrower and which are secured under such Mortgage and to
     the rights and remedies of the Mortgages Trustee in respect of such sums
     owed to the Mortgages Trustee by the Borrower.

13.  NON-MERGER

     Any term of this Agreement to which effect is not given on the Closing Date
     or on any Assignment Date (including in particular, but without limitation,
     the liability of the Seller under the Representations and Warranties and
     the indemnity in CLAUSE 6.5 and the provisions of CLAUSE 4) shall not merge
     and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the sale and
     purchase contemplated by this Agreement.

14.  NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP

     It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing in this
     Agreement shall be construed as giving rise to any relationship of agency,

     that in fulfilling its obligations hereunder, each party shall be acting
     entirely for its own account.

15.  PAYMENTS

     Except as otherwise specifically provided, all payments to be made pursuant
     to this Agreement shall be made in sterling in immediately available funds

     otherwise exist and shall be deemed to be made when they are received by
     the payee and shall be accounted for accordingly unless failure to receive
     any payment is due to an error by the payee's bank.

16.  WAIVERS AND VARIATION

16.1 Exercise or failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not,
     unless otherwise herein provided, constitute a waiver of that or any other
     right.

     Agreement will be made only with the prior written consent of each party to
     this Agreement.

1.   LOANS

     be, the relevant New Portfolio Notice) are true, complete and accurate in
     all material respects.

1.2  Each Loan was originated by the Seller and was originated and is

1.4  Each Loan matures for repayment not later than June 2040.

1.5  No Loan has an Outstanding Principal Balance of more than(pound)400,000.

1.6  The Lending Criteria are the lending criteria applicable to the Loans and

1.7  Prior to the making of each Initial Advance and Further Advance:

     (a)  the Lending Criteria and all preconditions to the making of any Loan
          were satisfied in all material respects subject only to such
          exceptions as made on a case by case basis as would be acceptable to a
          reasonable, prudent mortgage lender; and

     (b)  the requirements of the relevant MIG Policy were met, so far as
          applicable to that Loan.

1.8  (a)  Each Loan was made and its Related Security taken or received
          substantially on the terms of the Standard Documentation without any
          material variation thereto and nothing has been done subsequently to
          add to, lessen, modify or otherwise vary the express provisions of any
          of the same in any material respect.

     (b)  The brochures, application forms, offers, offer conditions and
          marketing material distributed by the Seller to the Borrower when
          offering a Loan to a Borrower:

          (A)  do not conflict in any material respect with the terms applicable
               to the relevant Loan and its Related Security at the time that
               the Loan was entered into;

          (B)  do not conflict with and would not prohibit or otherwise limit
               the terms of, the Transaction Documents or the matters
               contemplated thereby, including for the avoidance of doubt and
               without limitation:

               (i)   the assignment of the Loans and their Related Security to
                     the Mortgages Trustee;

               (ii)  the administration of the Loans and their Related Security

                     appointment of a new Servicer

                                       20
<PAGE>

                     following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation
                     to the Seller; and

               (iii) so far as the Seller is aware to the best of its knowledge,
                     information and belief, the ability of the Mortgages
                     Trustee or the Security Trustee to set the variable rate
                     payable under any Variable Rate Loan independently of (and
                     without regard to the level of) the Seller's standard
                     variable rate of interest or if the Seller has more than
                     one standard variable rate of interest, the relevant
                     Seller's standard variable rate of interest, subject to any
                     applicable cap on that variable rate which is not itself
                     linked to any rate set by the Seller and to set the
                     variable margin above the Bank of England repo rate under
                     any Tracker Rate Loan independently of (and without regard
                     to the level of) any differential set by the Seller,
                     subject to any applicable cap on that variable margin above
                     the Bank of England repo rate which is not itself linked to
                     any margin set by the Seller.

     (c)  There is no restriction on the Seller's successors' and assigns' to
          the legal title of the Loans (including, without limitation, the
          Mortgages Trustee if and when legal title to the Loans is transferred
          to it) right:

          (A)  to set the variable rate payable under any Variable Rate Loan
               independently of (and without regard to the level of) the
               Seller's standard variable rate of interest or if the Seller has
               more than one standard variable rate of interest, the relevant
               Seller's standard variable rate of interest, subject to any
               applicable cap on that variable rate which is not itself linked
               to any rate set by the Seller (subject to complying with the
               obligations under the Standard Documents as to changes in
               interest rates generally and so that in particular the successors
               will not be able to change the interest rate following a transfer
               of legal title unless the reasons for changing the interest rate
               set out in the Standard Documents apply) and provided that in
               relation to Loans which are subject to HVR 2, the differential
               between that rate and the Loans which are subject to HVR 1 is
               maintained; and

          (B)  to set the variable margin above the Bank of England repo rate
               under any Tracker Rate Loan independently of (and without regard
               to the level of) any differential set by the Seller, subject to
               any applicable cap on that variable margin above the Bank of
               England repo rate which is not itself linked to any margin set by
               the Seller (subject to complying with the obligations under the
               Standard Documents as to changes in margins generally and so that
               in particular the successors will not be able to change the
               margin following a transfer of legal title unless the reasons for
               changing the margin set out in the Standard Documents apply).

1.9  The Seller is under no obligation to make Further Advances (other than
     Flexible Loan Drawings (if any), Delayed Cashbacks and Home Cash Reserve
     Drawings) or to release retentions or to pay fees or other sums relating to
     any Loan or its Related Security to any Borrower.

1.10 Each Borrower has made at least two Monthly Payments.

1.11 Other than with respect to monthly interest payments or as provided in
     paragraph 1.12 below, no Borrower is or has, since the date of the relevant
     Mortgage, been in material breach of any

                                       21
<PAGE>

     obligation owed in respect of the relevant Loan or under the Related
     Security and accordingly no steps have been taken by the Seller to enforce
     any Related Security.

1.12 The total amount of arrears of interest or principal, together with any
     fees, commissions and premiums payable at the same time as such interest
     payment or principal repayment, on any Loan is not on the Initial Closing
     Date or the relevant Assignment Date (as applicable), nor has been during
     the 12 months immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date or the
     relevant Assignment Date (as applicable) more than the amount of the
     Monthly Payment then due.

1.13 No Loan is guaranteed by a third party save where the guarantee constitutes
     legal, valid and binding obligations of the guarantor enforceable in
     accordance with their terms.

1.14 The Outstanding Principal Balance, all Accrued Interest and all Arrears of
     Interest on each Loan and its Related Security (other than any agreement
     for Flexible Loan Drawings (if any), Delayed Cashbacks, Home Cash Reserve
     Drawings and any other Further Advances) constitute a legal, valid, binding
     and enforceable debt due to the Seller from the relevant Borrower and the
     terms of each Loan and its Related Security constitute valid and binding
     obligations of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their terms
     (other than any agreement for Flexible Loan Drawings (if any), Delayed
     Cashbacks, Home Cash Reserve Drawings and any other Further Advance).

1.15 Interest on each Loan is charged in accordance with the Standard
     Documentation.

1.16 Interest on each Loan is payable monthly in arrear.

1.17 No Loan or any part of it:

     (a)  is or has ever been a regulated agreement within Section 8 of the
          Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended, extended or re-enacted from time
          to time);

     (b)  is or has ever been a linked transaction within Section 19 of the
          Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended, extended or re-enacted from time
          to time);

     (c)  is to be or has ever been treated as a regulated agreement under
          Section 82(3) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended, extended or
          re-enacted from time to time or otherwise); or

     (d)  is or has ever been or may become liable to be re-opened on the ground
          that the credit bargain is extortionate under Sections 137 to 140 of
          the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended, extended or re-enacted from
          time to time).

1.18 No Loan or any part of it is unenforceable under the Consumer Protection
     (Contracts Concluded away from Business Premises) Regulations 1987 (as
     amended, extended or re-enacted from time to time).

1.19 All of the Borrowers are individuals and were aged 18 years or older at the
     date he or she executed the relevant Mortgage.

1.20 Not used.

1.21 Each loan in the relevant Portfolio is either:

     (a)  a Variable Rate Loan, Tracker Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan; or

                                       22
<PAGE>

     (b)  a New Loan Type which each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in
          writing may be included in the relevant New Portfolio.

2.   MORTGAGES

2.1  The whole of the Outstanding Principal Balance on each Loan and any Arrears
     of Interest and all Accrued Interest is secured by a Mortgage.

2.2  Each Mortgage is in the form of the pro forma contained in the Standard
     Documentation which was applicable at the time the Mortgage was executed.

2.3  Each Mortgage constitutes a valid and subsisting first charge by way of
     legal mortgage over the relevant Property subject only in certain
     appropriate cases to applications for registrations at H.M. Land Registry
     which where requisite have been made and are pending and in relation to
     such cases the Seller is not aware of any caution, notice or any other
     matter that would prevent such registration.

2.4  Each Mortgage has first priority for the whole of the Outstanding Principal
     Balance on the Loan and all Arrears of Interest and Accrued Interest
     thereon and all future interest, fees, costs and expenses payable under or
     in respect of such Mortgage.

2.5  Each Loan and its Related Security is, save in relation to any Loan and
     Related Security which is not binding by virtue of the Unfair Terms in
     Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 or (as the case may be) the Unfair
     Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, valid and binding and
     enforceable in accordance with its terms. To the best of the Seller's
     knowledge, none of the Loans or their Related Security is not binding by
     virtue of its being unfair pursuant to the Unfair Terms in Consumer
     Contracts Regulations 1994 or (as the case may be) the Unfair Terms in
     Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.

3.   THE PROPERTIES

3.1  All of the Properties are in England or Wales.

3.2  Each Property constitutes a separate dwelling unit and is either freehold
     or leasehold.

3.3  Save for children of Borrowers and children of someone living with the
     Borrower, every person who, at the date upon which a Mortgage was granted,
     had attained the age of eighteen and was in or about to be in actual
     occupation of the relevant Property, is either named as a Borrower or has
     signed a Deed of Consent in the form of the pro forma contained in the
     Standard Documentation which was applicable at the time the Mortgage was
     executed.

3.4  No Property has been let otherwise than by way of:

     (a)  an assured shorthold tenancy which meets the requirements of Section
          19A or Section 20 of the Housing Act 1988; or

     (b)  an assured tenancy;

     in each case which meets the Seller's Policy in connection with lettings to
     non-owners.

3.5  No Property is the subject of a shared ownership lease arrangement or
     staircase purchasing arrangement.

4.   VALUERS' AND SOLICITORS' REPORTS

4.1  Not more than twelve months prior to the grant of each Mortgage (or such
     longer period as may be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent mortgage
     lender) the Seller received a Valuation Report from a Valuer on the
     relevant Property (or such other form of report concerning the valuation of
     the relevant Property as would be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent
     mortgage lender), the contents of which were such as would be acceptable to
     a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender.

4.2  The principal amount of the Initial Advance (including any retention(s)
     subsequently advanced to the Borrower but disregarding Capitalised
     Expenses) is either:

     (a)  not more than 75 per cent. of the lower of the purchase price and the
          appraised value of the Property as stated in the Valuation Report
          referred to above in paragraph 4.1 (the "APPRAISED VALUE") (or, in
          case of a remortgage, of the appraised value) of the Property; or

     (b)  greater than 75 per cent. (but not more than 97 per cent.) of the
          lower of the purchase price and the appraised value (or, in the case
          of a remortgage, of the appraised value), in which case for those
          Loans originated prior to 1st January, 2001 only that part of the
          Initial Advance which exceeds 75 per cent. of the lower of the
          purchase price and the appraised value (or, in the case of a
          remortgage, of the appraised value) is covered under the terms of a
          MIG Policy.

4.3  Prior to the taking of each Mortgage (other than a remortgage), the Seller:

     (a)  instructed the Seller's solicitor or licensed conveyancer to carry out
          an investigation of title to the relevant Property and to undertake
          such other searches, investigation, enquiries and other actions on
          behalf of the Seller as are set out in the instructions which the
          Seller issued to the relevant solicitor as are set out in the CML's
          Lenders' Handbook for England and Wales (or such comparable,
          predecessor or successor instructions and/or guidelines as may for the
          time being be in place), subject only to such variations made on a
          case by case basis as would have been acceptable to a reasonable,
          prudent mortgage lender at the relevant time;

     (b)  received a Certificate of Title from the solicitor or licensed
          conveyancer referred to in paragraph (a) relating to such Property the
          contents of which were such as would have been acceptable to a
          reasonable, prudent mortgage lender at that time.

4.4  The benefit of all Valuation Reports any other valuation report referred to
     in PARAGRAPH 4.1 and Certificates of Title which were provided to the
     Seller not more than two years prior to the date of this Agreement can be
     validly assigned to the Mortgages Trustee without obtaining the consent of
     the relevant Valuer, solicitor or licensed conveyancer.

5.   BUILDINGS INSURANCE

     5.1  Each Property is insured under:

     (a)  a buildings insurance policy arranged by the Borrower in accordance
          with the relevant Mortgage Conditions or in accordance with the
          Alternative Insurance Recommendations; or

                                       24
<PAGE>

     (b)  the Halifax Policies ; or

     (c)  a buildings insurance policy arranged by the relevant landlord; or

     (d)  the Properties in Possession Cover.

5.2  No act, event or circumstance has occurred which would adversely affect the
     Properties in Possession Cover or entitle the insurers to refuse to make
     payment thereunder or to reduce the amount payable in respect of any claim
     thereunder.

5.3  All claims under the Properties in Possession Cover have been paid in full
     within a reasonable time of the date of submission of the claim and, save
     in respect of minor claims, there are no claims outstanding.

6.   MIG POLICIES

6.1  Where applicable, the MIG Policies are in full force and effect in relation
     to the Initial Portfolio or, as the case may be, each New Portfolio and all
     premiums thereon have been paid.

6.2  The benefit of the Halifax Mortgage Re Limited MIG Policies can be and will
     have been, with effect from the Closing Date, validly assigned to the
     Mortgages Trustee and charged to the Security Trustee, insofar as they
     relate to the Initial Portfolio or, as the case may be, each New Portfolio
     in each case in the manner and to the extent contemplated by the
     Transaction Documents.

6.3  To the best of the knowledge of the Seller no act, event or circumstance
     has occurred which would adversely affect the MIG Policies or entitle the
     insurers to refuse to make payment thereunder or to reduce the amount
     payable in respect of any claim thereunder insofar as they relate to the
     Initial Portfolio or, as the case may be, each New Portfolio.

6.4  All valid claims under the MIG Policies have been paid in full within a
     reasonable time of the date of submission of the claim.

7.   THE SELLER'S TITLE

7.1  The Seller has good title to, and is the absolute unencumbered legal and
     beneficial owner of, all property, interests, rights and benefits agreed to
     be sold and/or assigned by the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee pursuant to
     this Agreement free and clear of all mortgages, charges, liens,
     Encumbrances, claims and equities (including, without limitation, rights of
     set-off or counterclaim and overriding interests within the meaning of
     Section 3 (xvi) of the Land Registration Act 1925) and the Seller is not in
     breach of any covenant implied by reason of its selling the Portfolio with
     full title guarantee (or which would be implied if the Registered Transfers
     or Unregistered Transfers, as applicable, were completed).

7.2  All steps necessary to perfect the Seller's title to the Loans and the
     Related Security were duly taken at the appropriate time or are in the
     process of being taken, in each case (where relevant) within any applicable
     priority periods or time limits for registration with all due diligence and
     without undue delay.

7.3  Save for Title Deeds held at H.M. Land Registry, the Title Deeds and the
     Customer Files relating to each of the Loans and their Related Security are
     held by, or are under the control of:

                                       25
<PAGE>

     (a)  the Seller; or

     (b)  the Seller's solicitors or licensed conveyancers to the order of the
          Seller,

     and the Title Deeds held at H.M. Land Registry have been sent to it with a
     request that any such Title Deeds will be returned to the Seller or its
     solicitors on its behalf.

7.4  Neither the entry by the Seller into this Agreement nor any transfer,
     assignment or creation of trust contemplated by this Agreement affects or
     will adversely affect any of the Loans and their Related Security
     (including, without limitation, the Insurance Policies) and the Seller may
     freely assign all its rights, title, interests and benefits therein as
     contemplated in this Agreement without breaching any term or condition
     applying to any of them.

7.5  The Seller has not knowingly waived or acquiesced in any breach of any of
     its rights in respect of a Loan or its Related Security, other than waivers
     and acquiescence such as a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender might make
     on a case by case basis.

8.   GENERAL

8.1  The Seller has, since the making of each Loan, kept or procured the keeping
     of full and proper accounts, books and records showing clearly all
     transactions, payments, receipts, proceedings and notices relating to such
     Loan.

8.2  Neither the Seller nor as far as the Seller is aware any of its agents has
     received written notice of any litigation, claim, dispute or complaint (in
     each case, subsisting, threatened or pending) in respect of any Borrower,
     Property, Loan, Related Security, Halifax Policy, MIG Policy or Properties
     in Possession Cover which (if adversely determined) might have a material
     adverse effect on the Trust Property or any part of it.

8.3  The Seller has received from each Borrower a variable direct debit
     instruction in favour of the Seller signed by the relevant Borrower and
     addressed to its bank, variable as to the amount payable by such Borrower
     by unilateral notice given from time to time by the Seller to such
     Borrower's bank without further instruction or consent from such Borrower
     or such other method of payment as may be acceptable to a reasonable,
     prudent mortgage lender.

8.4  There are no authorisations, approvals, licences or consents required as
     appropriate for the Seller to enter into or to perform the obligations
     under this Agreement or to render this Agreement legal, valid, binding,
     enforceable and admissible in evidence.

8.5  The Insurance Acknowledgements are valid, binding and enforceable against
     the relevant insurer by the Mortgages Trustee and the Security Trustee.

                                LENDING CRITERIA

LENDING CRITERIA

The Loans in the Initial Portfolio or, as the case may be, the relevant New
Portfolio were originated according to the Seller's lending policy at the
relevant time, which in the case of the Initial Portfolio included the criteria
set out below. However, the Seller retains the right to revise its lending
policy from time to time, and so the criteria applicable to the New Loans may
not be the same as those set out below.

(1)  Types of Property

     Properties may be either freehold or leasehold. In the case of leasehold
     properties, the unexpired portion of the lease must in most cases not
     expire earlier than 30 years after the term of the Loan. The property must
     be used solely for residential purposes (with extremely limited case by
     case exceptions) and must be in sound structural condition and repair or be
     capable of being put into such state. House boats, mobile homes and any
     property on which buildings insurance cannot be arranged are not
     acceptable. All persons who are to be legal owners of the Property on
     completion of the relevant Mortgage must be Borrowers.

     All properties have been valued by a valuer approved by the Seller or,
     where appropriate, according to a methodology which would meet the
     standards of a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender and which has been
     approved by the Seller.

(2)  Term of Loan

     There is no minimum term on home purchase Loans and the maximum term is 25
     years for repayment Mortgages. A maximum term of 40 years is available for
     interest-only Mortgages. A repayment period for a new Further Advance that
     would extend beyond the term of the original advance may also be accepted
     at the Seller's discretion, subject to the following:

     (a)  the consent of any subsequent lender or guarantor to the Further
          Advance;

     (b)  the Seller may in its discretion extend the period of the original
          advance, provided that, in all leasehold cases, not less than 30 years
          of the lease must be left unexpired at the end of the term of the
          Mortgage; and

     (c)  the approval of the valuer where the valuer has previously recommended
          a term which is shorter than the maximum Loan terms referred to above.

     If a Borrower requests to increase the term of the existing Loan, the
     maximum term for a repayment Loan is 25 years from the date from which the
     extended term is granted. However, the total term from the start date of
     the account must not exceed 40 years.

(3)  Age of Applicant

     All Borrowers must be aged 18 or over. There is no maximum age limit.
     However, if the term of the Mortgage extends into retirement, the Seller
     will attempt to ascertain the Borrower's anticipated income in retirement.
     If the Seller determines the Borrower will not be able to afford the
     Mortgage into retirement, the application will be declined. If the Borrower
     is already retired, the Seller will consider the Borrower's ability to
     support the Loan.

                                       30
<PAGE>

(4)  Loan to Value (or LTV) Ratio

     The maximum original LTV ratio of Loans in the Initial Portfolio is 97 per
     cent. At the date of this Agreement, for Properties of (pound)150,000 or
     less, the Seller may lend up to 97 per cent. of the improved valuation of
     the Property (the original valuation plus the increase in value deriving
     from any improvements). For Properties in excess of (pound)150,000, the
     permissible LTV ratio decreases as the Loan amount increases. The Seller
     has approved measures whereby it may lend up to 97 per cent. of the LTV for
     properties of (pound)250,000 or less but this measure has not been
     implemented at the date of this Agreement. The Seller will not provide
     Loans in excess of 100 per cent. of the sum of the purchase price and the
     increase in value deriving from any improvements.

     In the case of a Property that is being purchased, value is determined by
     the lower of the valuation and the purchase price. In the case of a
     remortgage or Further Advance, value is determined on the basis of a
     valuation only.

(5)  Mortgage Indemnity Guarantee Policies/High LTV Fees

     Borrowers are currently required to pay high LTV fees to the Seller for
     each Mortgage account where the aggregate of the outstanding principal
     balance of the relevant Loan(s) at origination (excluding any capitalised
     high LTV fees and/or booking fees and/or valuation fees) exceeds certain
     specified percentages.

     If the LTV ratio exceeds 90 per cent., the Borrower pays high LTV fees
     based on the difference between the actual LTV ratio and a 75 per cent. LTV
     ratio.

     Prior to 1st January, 2001, the Seller required cover under mortgage
     indemnity guarantee, or MIG, policies for Mortgages where the LTV ratio
     exceeded 75 per cent., though during 1999 and 2000 the Seller paid the
     premium for the MIG cover if the LTV ratio was between 75 per cent. and 90
     per cent. Since 1st January, 2001, the Seller has not required cover under
     MIG policies for any Loans.

(6)  Status of Applicant(s)

     The maximum amount of the aggregate Loan(s) under a mortgage account is
     determined by a number of factors, including the applicant's income. In
     determining income, the Seller includes basic salary as primary income,
     along with performance or profit-related pay, allowances, mortgage
     subsidies, pensions, annuities and state benefits. Payments for overtime,
     bonus and commissions will not be automatically included in income. The
     Seller will deduct the annual cost of existing commitments from the
     applicant's gross income, depending on the applicant's credit score. The
     Seller will also verify the applicant's employment.

     In cases where a single Borrower is attempting to have the Seller take a
     secondary income into account, the Seller will consider the sustainability
     of the Borrower's work hours, the similarity of the jobs and/or skills, the
     commuting time and distance between the jobs, the length of employment at
     both positions and whether the salary is consistent with the type of
     employment. The Seller will determine, after assessing the above factors,
     if it is appropriate to use both incomes. If so, both incomes will be used
     as part of the normal income calculation.

                                       31
<PAGE>

     When there are two applicants, the Seller adds joint incomes together for
     the purpose of deciding which income band to use. The Seller may, at its
     discretion, consider the income of additional applicants as well but only a
     maximum rate of one times that income.

     The Seller may exercise discretion within its lending criteria in applying
     those factors which are used to determine the maximum amount of the
     Loan(s). Accordingly, these parameters may vary for some Loans. The Seller
     may take the following into account when exercising discretion: credit
     score result, existing customer relationship, percentage of LTV, stability
     of employment and career progression, availability of living allowances
     and/or mortgage subsidy from the employer, employer's standing, regularity
     of overtime, bonus or commission (up to a maximum of 60 per cent. of the
     income), credit commitments, quality of security (such as type of property,
     repairs, location or saleability), and the increase in income needed to
     support the Loan.

     The Seller may not exercise discretion where it is lending over 95 per
     cent. of value or the Borrower's credit score fails. There is an exception
     from this policy for existing Borrowers who are moving home and the
     Seller's overall position is improved.

(7)  Credit History

(a)  Credit Search

     With the exception, in some circumstances, of Further Advances to existing
     Borrowers, a credit search is carried out in respect of all applicants.
     Applications may be declined where an adverse credit history (for example,
     county court judgement, default, or bankruptcy notice) is revealed.

(b)  Existing Lender's Reference

     In some cases, the Seller may also seek a reference from any existing
     and/or previous lender. Any reference must satisfy the Seller that the
     account has been properly conducted and that no history of material arrears
     exists.

(c)  First Time Buyers/Applicants in rented accommodation

     Where applicants currently reside in rented accommodation, the Seller may
     seek a landlord's reference. In addition, if considered appropriate, a
     further reference may be taken in connection with any other property rented
     by the applicant(s) within the preceding 18 months.

(d)  Bank Reference

     A bank reference may be sought or the applicants may be required to provide
     bank statements in support of his or her application.

(8)  Scorecard

     The Seller uses some of the above criteria and various other criteria to
     provide an overall score for the application that reflects a statistical
     analysis of the risk of advancing the Loan. The lending policies and
     processes are determined centrally to ensure consistency in the management
     and monitoring of credit risk exposure. Full use is made of software
     technology in credit scoring new applications. Credit scoring applies
     statistical analysis to publicly available data and customer-provided data
     to assess the likelihood of an account going into arrears. In addition, the
     Seller is currently developing behavioural scoring, which will enable

                                       32
<PAGE>

     it to use customer data on existing accounts to make further lending
     decisions and to prioritise action in the case of arrears. Mortgage
     collection is conducted through a number of payment collection departments.

     The Seller reserves the right to decline an application that has received a
     passing score. The Seller does have an appeals process if an applicant
     believes his or her application to be unfairly denied. It is the Seller's
     policy to allow only authorised individuals to exercise discretion in
     granting variances from the scorecard.

     "(a) Halifax plc ("HALIFAX") whose registered office is at Trinity Road,
          Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX1 2RG;

     (b)  any assignee to whom Halifax has assigned (whether legally or
          equitably and whether by way of security or otherwise) any loans
          and/or mortgages and related collateral and/or assets to which this
          Policy relates (an "ASSIGNEE") (whether or not any such Assignee holds
          the same on trust for another or others); and

     (c)  any person benefiting from security granted by the Halifax or its
          Assignee over any loans and/or mortgages and related collateral and/or
          assets to which this Policy relates in connection with the financing
          or re-financing of such loans and/or mortgages and related collateral
          and/or assets."

2.   Each term of the Policy which is inconsistent with the intent and/or effect
     of the amended definition of "Insured" contemplated in paragraph 1 above
     (the "NEW DEFINITION") shall be subject to the New Definition and shall not
     apply to the extent that such term of the Policy is inconsistent with the
     New Definition.

3.   The Insurer acknowledges and agrees that any Insured under the Policy may
     from time to time appoint Halifax plc or any other person as agent of that
     Insured to deal with the Insurer on its behalf in the administration of and
     making and payment of claims under the Policy.

All other terms, clause and conditions of the Policy remain unchanged.

This Endorsement is signed for and on behalf of the Insurer by a duly authorised

                  liabilities whatsoever which now are or at any time hereafter
                  may (whether before or after demand) become due and payable to

                  other Second Issuer Secured Creditors by the Second Issuer
                  whether actually or contingently, under this Deed or any other

         security granted to the Security Trustee pursuant to this Clause 3 or
         the Second Issuer Charged Property or the Security Trustee's interest
         therein provided that, without prejudice to Clause 9 (Receiver),

3.8      SECURITY TRUSTEE'S DISCRETION

         Subject to Clause 23.6 (Consent of Security Trustee), without prejudice

         the Security Trustee, prior to the security created by this Deed
         becoming enforceable, to exercise, or refrain from exercising, all
         rights, powers, authorities, discretions and remedies under or in

         with any direction given by the Second Issuer in relation thereto.

4.       RELEASE OF SECOND ISSUER CHARGED PROPERTY

4.1      PRIOR TO PAYMENT OR DISCHARGE OF SECOND ISSUER SECURED OBLIGATIONS

(a)      Except to the extent expressly provided in this Clause 4, the Security
         Trustee shall, release, reassign or discharge the Second Issuer Charged
         Property or any part thereof only upon receipt of a written request
         from the Second Issuer accompanied by (i) an Officers' Certificate and
         (ii) certificates of independent parties in accordance with Sections
         314(c) and 314(d)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act (the "Independent
         Certificates") or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Trust
         Indenture Act does not require any such Independent Certificates;

(b)      Prior to the release of any part of the Second Issuer Charged Property,
         the Second Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in this
         Clause 4.1 or elsewhere in this Deed, furnish to the Security Trustee
         an Officers' Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each
         person signing such certificate as to the fair value of that part of
         the Second Issuer Charged Property to be so released. The officers so
         certifying may consult with, and may conclusively rely upon a
         certificate as to the fair value of such property provided to such
         officers by an internationally recognised financial institution with
         expertise in such matters;

(c)      Whenever the Second Issuer is required to furnish to the Security
         Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
         any signer thereof as to the matters described in the preceding
         paragraph, the Second Issuer shall also deliver to the Security Trustee
         an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of
         that part of the Second Issuer Charged Property to be so released (and
         of all other such property made the basis of any such release since the
         commencement of the Second Issuer's then current fiscal year, as set
         forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to this Clause 4.1), is 10
         per cent. or more of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Second
         Issuer Notes, but such Independent Certificate need not be furnished
         with respect to any property so released if the fair value thereof as
         set forth in the related Officers' Certificate is less than US$25,000
         or less than one per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the
         Second Issuer Notes;

(d)      Whenever any part of the Second Issuer Charged Property is to be
         released from the security constituted by this Deed, the Second Issuer
         shall also furnish to the Security Trustee an Officer's Certificate
         certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
         certificate that in the opinion of such person the proposed release
         will not impair the security under this Deed in contravention of the
         provisions hereof; and

(e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Second
         Issuer may (a) make cash payments out of the Second Issuer Account
         relating to the Second Issuer Notes as and to the extent permitted or
         required by the Second Issuer Transaction Documents and (b) take any

<PAGE>
                                       6

         other action permitted or required by the Second Issuer Transaction
         Documents not inconsistent with the Trust Indenture Act.

4.2      ON PAYMENT OR DISCHARGE OF SECOND ISSUER SECURED OBLIGATIONS

         Upon the irrevocable and unconditional payment or discharge (or any
         combination of the foregoing) of all the Second Issuer Secured
         Obligations, the Security Trustee shall, at the written request and
         cost of the Second Issuer, release, reassign or discharge the Second
         Issuer Charged Property to, or to the order of, the Second Issuer.

4.3      DISPOSAL OF AUTHORISED INVESTMENTS

         Upon the Second Issuer Cash Manager, on behalf of the Second Issuer and
         the Security Trustee, making a disposal of any Authorised Investment
         charged pursuant to Clause 3.3 (Authorised Investments), the Security
         Trustee shall, if so requested in writing by and at the sole cost and
         expense (on an indemnity basis) of the Second Issuer, but without being
         responsible for any loss, costs, claims or liabilities whatsoever
         occasioned and howsoever arising by so acting upon such request,
         release, reassign or discharge from the encumbrances constituted by
         this Deed the relevant Authorised Investments, provided that the
         proceeds of such disposal are paid into an account charged pursuant to
         Clauses 3.2 (Second Issuer Accounts) in accordance with Clause 5.5
         (Authorised Investments).

4.4      WITHDRAWALS FROM SECOND ISSUER ACCOUNTS

         From time to time there shall be deemed to be released from the
         encumbrances constituted by this Deed all amounts which the Second
         Issuer Cash Manager, on behalf of the Second Issuer and the Security
         Trustee, is permitted to withdraw from the Second Issuer Accounts
         pursuant to Clauses 5.2 (Pre-Enforcement Priorities of Payment) and 5.3
         (Payments under the Second Issuer Cash Management Agreement) and any
         such release will take effect immediately upon the relevant withdrawal
         being made provided that where the relevant amount is transferred to
         another bank account of the Second Issuer such bank account shall
         thereupon become subject to the encumbrances constituted by this Deed.

5.       PAYMENTS OUT OF THE SECOND ISSUER ACCOUNTS, AUTHORISED INVESTMENTS AND
         APPLICATION OF CASH PRIOR TO ENFORCEMENT

5.1      FOLLOWING SERVICE OF A SECOND ISSUER NOTE ACCELERATION NOTICE

         No payment, transfer or withdrawal from the Second Issuer Accounts may
         be made under this Clause 5 at any time after a Second Issuer Note
         Acceleration Notice has been served in respect of the Second Issuer.

5.2      PRE-ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIES OF PAYMENT

         Notwithstanding the security rights created by or pursuant to Clause 3
         (Security and Declaration of Trust), but prior to the service of a

         Issuer Cash Manager, on behalf of the Second Issuer and the Security
         Trustee, shall:

         (a)      withdraw, or shall instruct the Second Issuer Account Bank or
                  cause the Second Issuer Account Bank to be instructed, to
                  withdraw (unless the intended recipient of the relevant
                  payment agrees otherwise) moneys from the Second Issuer
                  Accounts (subject to Clause 5.8 (VAT) below) to be applied in
                  the order of priority on the

<PAGE>
                                       7

                  specified dates (and in each case only if and to the extent
                  that payments or provisions of a higher order of priority have
                  been made in full and to the extent that such withdrawal does
                  not cause the Second Issuer Accounts to become overdrawn) as
                  set out in Schedule 2 of the Second Issuer Cash Management
                  Agreement (the "Second Issuer Pre-Enforcement Priority of
                  Payments"); and

         (b)      instruct the Second Issuer Swap Providers to pay to the
                  specified bank account of the Principal Paying Agent amounts
                  due to be paid on dates specified in the Second Issuer Swap
                  Agreements.

5.3      PAYMENTS UNDER THE SECOND ISSUER CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

         Notwithstanding the security rights created by or pursuant to Clause 3
         (Security and Declaration of Trust), but prior to the service of a
         Second Issuer Note Acceleration Notice on the Second Issuer, the Second
         Issuer Cash Manager, on behalf of the Second Issuer and the Security
         Trustee, shall withdraw, or shall instruct the Second Issuer Account
         Bank or cause the Second Issuer Account Bank to be instructed, to
         withdraw (unless the intended recipient of the relevant payment agrees
         otherwise) moneys from the Second Issuer Accounts for application on
         any Business Day in making any payments due to be made subject to and
         in accordance with the Second Issuer Cash Management Agreement (but
         only to the extent that such withdrawal does not cause the Second
         Issuer Accounts to become overdrawn).

5.4      INVESTMENTS IN AUTHORISED INVESTMENTS

         The Security Trustee may request the Second Issuer Cash Manager to (or
         the Second Issuer Cash Manager may request the Security Trustee to)
         invest in the names of the Security Trustee and the Second Issuer,
         jointly, moneys standing from time to time and at any time standing to
         the credit of the Second Issuer Accounts in Authorised Investments in
         accordance with the following provisions:

         (a)      any costs properly and reasonably incurred in making and

         a party or the rights or benefits in respect of which are comprised in
         the Second Issuer Charged Property (except where specifically provided
         otherwise).

         the respective interests of the Second Issuer Swap Providers with the
         equal ranking as set out in paragraph (e) above, then the Security
         Trustee will have regard to the interests of the relevant Second Issuer
         Swap Provider or Second Issuer Swap Providers in respect of the Second
         Issuer Notes with the greatest principal amount outstanding; and

(g)      subject to paragraphs (a) to (f) above, if (in the Security Trustee's
         sole opinion) there is or may be a conflict between the respective
         interests of any of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors, other than the

7.3      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

         Each of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors hereby acknowledges and
         concurs with the provisions of Clauses 7.1 and 7.2 and each of them
         agrees that it shall have no claim against the Security Trustee as a
         result of the application thereof.

8.       THE SECURITY TRUSTEE'S POWERS

8.1      PRIOR NOTIFICATION

         The Security Trustee shall, if reasonably practicable, give prior
         notification to the Seller of the Security Trustee's intention to
         enforce the security created by this Deed, provided always that the
         failure of the Security Trustee to provide such notification shall not
         prejudice the ability of the Security Trustee to enforce the security
         created by this Deed.

8.2      ENFORCEABLE

         Without prejudice to the provisions of Clauses 8.5 (Law of Property Act
         1925) and 9.1 (Appointment), (i) the security created under this Deed
         shall become immediately enforceable and (ii) the power of sale and
         other powers conferred by Section 101 of the Law of Property Act 1925
         (the "1925 Act"), as varied or amended by this Deed, shall, in
         accordance with this Clause 8, be exercisable by the Security Trustee,
         in each case at any time following service of a Second Issuer Note
         Acceleration Notice or, if there are no Second Issuer Notes
         outstanding, following a default in payment of any other Second Issuer
         Secured Obligations on its due date. Without prejudice to the
         effectiveness of any service of the Second Issuer Note Acceleration
         Notice, the Note Trustee shall serve a copy of any Second Issuer Note
         Acceleration Notice on each of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors,
         Funding 1 and the Rating Agencies.

8.3      AMOUNTS DUE

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed, all amounts owing
         under the Second Issuer Secured Obligations shall be deemed to have
         become due 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 which are conferred on the Security Trustee under the 1925 Act
         (as varied or extended by this Deed) only (and for no other purpose)
         and all other powers shall be deemed to arise immediately after
         execution of this Deed but shall only become enforceable in accordance
         with Clause 8.2 (Enforceable) above. For the avoidance of doubt, the
         Security Trustee shall not be required to have regard to the interests
         of the Second Issuer in the exercise of its rights, powers,
         authorities, discretions and remedies under this Deed.

8.4      POWER OF SALE

         Section 103 of the 1925 Act shall not apply in relation to any of the
         charges contained in this Deed and the statutory power of sale (as
         extended by this Deed) and all other powers shall be exercisable at any
         time after service of a Second Issuer Note Acceleration Notice.

8.5      LAW OF PROPERTY ACT 1925

         The provisions of the 1925 Act relating to the power of sale and the
         other powers conferred by Section 101(1) and (2) are hereby extended in
         relation to the Second Issuer (as if such extensions were contained
         therein) to authorise the Security Trustee at its absolute discretion
         at any time following the occurrence of a Second Issuer Note Event of
         Default and subject to

<PAGE>
                                       17

         the Security Trustee being indemnified and/or secured to its
         satisfaction in relation to the exercise of such powers:

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

         (b)      to sell, transfer, convey, vary or otherwise dispose of the
                  Second Issuer's title to or interest in the Second Issuer
                  Charged Property, and to do so for any shares, debentures or
                  other securities including, without limitation, any Authorised
                  Investments whatsoever comprising part thereof, or in
                  consideration of an agreement to pay all or part of the
                  purchase price at a later date or dates, or an agreement to
                  make periodical payments, whether or not the agreement is
                  secured by an Encumbrance or a guarantee, or for such other
                  consideration whatsoever as the Security Trustee may in its
                  absolute discretion think fit, and also to grant any option to
                  purchase, and to effect exchanges of, the whole or any part of
                  the Second Issuer Charged Property (and nothing shall preclude
                  any such disposal being made to a Second Issuer Secured
                  Creditor);

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

         (d)      to insure the Second Issuer Charged Property against such
                  risks and for such amounts as the Security Trustee may in its
                  absolute discretion consider prudent; and

         (e)      to do all or any of the things or exercise all or any of the
                  powers which are mentioned or referred to in Clause 9.6
                  (Powers) as if each of them was expressly conferred on the
                  Security Trustee by this Deed and which may not be included in
                  paragraphs (a) to (d) above.

8.6      DELEGATION TO RECEIVER

         In addition and without prejudice to any of its statutory powers, the
         Security Trustee may at any time by deed delegate to any Receiver all
         or any of the extended powers of leasing, surrendering or accepting
         surrenders of leases conferred on the Security Trustee by this Deed.

8.7      ADDITIONAL POWERS

         The Security Trustee shall have the power to insure against any
         liabilities or obligations arising:

         (a)      as a result of the Security Trustee acting or failing to act
                  in a certain way (other than which may arise from its
                  negligence or wilful default or that of its officers or
                  employees);

         (b)      as a result of any act or failure to act by any person or
                  persons to whom the Security Trustee has delegated any of its
                  trusts, rights, powers, duties, authorities or discretions, or
                  appointed as its agent (other than which may arise from such
                  person's negligence or wilful default);

         (c)      in connection with the Second Issuer Charged Property; or

<PAGE>
                                       18

         (d)      in connection with or arising from the enforcement of the
                  security created by this Deed.

         The Security Trustee shall not be under any obligation to insure in
         respect of such liabilities and/or obligations or to require any other
         person to maintain insurance, but to the extent that it does so, the
         Second Issuer shall quarterly and on written request pay all insurance
         premiums and expenses which the Security Trustee may properly incur in
         relation to such insurance. If the Second Issuer fails to pay such
         premiums or expenses or to reimburse the Security Trustee therefor, the
         Security Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Second
         Issuer Charged Property in respect thereof and, in the case of a Second
         Issuer Note Acceleration Notice having been served, the indemnification
         of the Security Trustee in respect of all such insurance premiums and
         expenses shall be payable in priority to payments to the Second Issuer
         Noteholders and all other Second Issuer Secured Creditors and otherwise
         in accordance with this Deed.

8.8      APPLICATION TO COURT

         The Security Trustee may at any time after the occurrence of a Second
         Issuer Note Event of Default apply to the Court for an order that the
         powers and trusts of this Deed be exercised or carried into execution
         under the direction of the Court and for the appointment of a Receiver
         of the Second Issuer Charged Property or any part thereof and for any
         other order in relation to the execution and administration of the
         powers and trusts hereof as the Security Trustee shall deem expedient,
         and it may assent to or approve any application to the Court made at
         the instance of any of the Second Issuer Noteholders.

8.9      AUTHORISED INVESTMENTS

         Any moneys which under the trusts of this Deed ought to or may be
         invested by the Security Trustee (or by the Cash Manager on its behalf)
         after the occurrence of a Second Issuer Note Event of Default may be
         invested in the name of the Security Trustee or in the name of any
         nominee on its behalf and under the control of the Security Trustee in
         any Authorised Investments and the 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 Security Trustee at its absolute discretion may
         determine, and shall not be responsible (save where any loss results
         from the Security Trustee's fraud, wilful default or negligence or that
         of its officers or employees) 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.

8.10     DEFICIENCY OR ADDITIONAL PAYMENT

         The Security Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to any
         Second Issuer Secured Creditor as regards any deficiency or additional
         payment, as the case may be, which might arise because the Security
         Trustee is subject to any Tax in respect of the Second Issuer Charged
         Property or any part thereof or any income therefrom or any proceeds
         thereof or is required to make any withholding or deduction from any
         payment to any Second Issuer Secured Creditor.

8.11     APPLICATION OF FUNDS

         If, after the service of a Second Issuer Note Acceleration Notice, the
         amount of the moneys at any time available for payment of principal and
         interest in respect of any Second Issuer Notes under Clause 6 (Payments
         out of the Second Issuer Accounts upon Enforcement) shall be less

<PAGE>
                                       19

         than one-tenth of the Principal Amount Outstanding of all the Second
         Issuer Notes then outstanding, the Security Trustee may, at its
         absolute discretion, invest such moneys to the extent that it is
         permitted to do so under the FSMA 2000 in any Authorised Investments
         and the Security Trustee may at any time vary or transfer any of such
         Authorised Investments for or into other such Authorised Investments as
         the Security Trustee at its absolute discretion may determine; and such
         investments with the resulting income thereof may be accumulated until
         the accumulations, together with any other funds for the time being
         under the control of the Security Trustee and applicable for the
         purpose, shall amount to a sum equal to at least one-tenth of the
         Principal Amount Outstanding of all the Second Issuer Notes then
         outstanding and such accumulations and funds shall then be applied in
         accordance with Clause 6 (Payments out of the Second Issuer Accounts
         upon Enforcement).

9.       RECEIVER

9.1      APPOINTMENT

(a)      Subject to paragraph (b) below, at any time following the occurrence of
         a Second Issuer Note Event of Default, the Security Trustee may, at its
         absolute discretion, appoint, by writing or by deed, such person or
         persons (including an officer or officers of the Security Trustee) as
         the Security Trustee thinks fit, to be Receiver of the Second Issuer
         Charged Property or any part thereof and, in the case of an appointment
         of more than one person, to act together or independently of the other
         or others.

(b)      The Security Trustee may not appoint an administrative receiver,
         receiver, manager or receiver and manager pursuant to paragraph (a)
         above 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 leave of the court.

9.2      REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

         Except as otherwise required by statute, the Security Trustee may by
         writing or by deed remove any Receiver and appoint another in its place
         or to act with any Receiver and the Security Trustee may apply to the
         Court for an order removing an administrative receiver.

9.3      EXTENT OF APPOINTMENT

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

9.4      AGENT OF THE SECOND ISSUER

         Any Receiver shall, so far as the law permits, be the agent of the
         Second Issuer and the Second Issuer alone shall be responsible for such
         Receiver's contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct,
         negligence or default and for liabilities incurred by him and in no
         circumstances whatsoever shall the Security Trustee be in any way
         responsible for or incur any liability in connection with such
         Receiver's contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct,
         negligence or default, and if a liquidator of the Second Issuer shall
         be appointed, such Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for
         the Security Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing,
         such Receiver shall in the exercise of his powers, authorities and
         discretions conform to the regulations (if any) from time to time made
         and given in writing by the Security Trustee.

<PAGE>
                                       20

9.5      REMUNERATION

         The remuneration of any Receiver shall be fixed by the Security Trustee
         and may be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross
         amount of all moneys received or otherwise and may include remuneration
         in connection with claims, actions or proceedings made or brought
         against such Receiver by the Second Issuer or any other person or the
         performance or discharge of any obligation imposed upon him by statute
         or otherwise, but subject to Clause 6 (Payments out of the Second
         Issuer Accounts upon Enforcement), such remuneration shall be payable
         hereunder by the Second Issuer. The amount of such remuneration shall
         be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions and in the manner
         agreed from time to time between such Receiver and the Security
         Trustee.

9.6      POWERS

         Any Receiver of the Second Issuer, in addition to any powers conferred
         on a Receiver by statute or common law, shall have the following
         powers:

                  accrued before or after the date of his appointment;

                  Charged Property or any part thereof for such consideration
                  (if any) and upon such terms (including by deferred payment or
                  payment by instalments) as it may think fit and to concur in
                  any such transaction;

         (d)      to sell or concur in selling the whole or any part of the

         (i)      to transfer all or any of the Second Issuer Charged Property
                  and/or any of the liabilities of the Second Issuer to any
                  other company or body corporate, whether or not formed or

                  call by action (in the name of the Second Issuer or the
                  Receiver as may be thought fit);

         (k)      to redeem, discharge or compromise any Encumbrance from time
                  to time having priority to or ranking pari passu with this
                  Deed;

                  the Second Issuer Charged Property which it may consider
                  expedient as effectually as if he were solely and absolutely
                  entitled to the Second Issuer Charged Property;

         (r)      in addition:

                  (i)      to do all other acts and things which it may consider

                           it would be capable of exercising if he were the

<PAGE>
                                       22

                  and may use the name of the Second Issuer for any of the
                  above purposes; and

         (s)      to pay and discharge out of the profits and income of the
                  relevant Second Issuer Charged Property and the moneys to be
                  made by it in carrying on the business of the Second Issuer
                  the expenses incurred in and about the carrying on and
                  management of the business or in the exercise of any of the
                  powers conferred by this Clause 9.6 or otherwise in respect of
                  such Second Issuer Charged Property and all outgoings which it
                  shall think fit to pay and to apply the residue of the said
                  profits, income or moneys in the manner provided by Clause 6
                  (Payments out of the Second Issuer Accounts upon Enforcement)
                  hereof.

         The Security Trustee may pay over to a Receiver any moneys constituting
         part of the Second Issuer Charged Property to the intent that the same
         may be applied for the purposes referred to in Clause 6 (Payments out
         of the Second Issuer Accounts upon Enforcement) by such Receiver and
         the Security Trustee may from time to time determine what funds such
         Receiver shall be at liberty to keep in hand with a view to the
         performance of his duties as such Receiver.

10.      PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

10.1     ENQUIRY

         No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Security Trustee
         or a Receiver shall be concerned to enquire whether any of the powers
         exercised or purported to be exercised has arisen or become
         exercisable, whether the Second Issuer Secured Obligations remain
         outstanding or have become payable, whether such Receiver is authorised
         to act or as to the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported
         exercise of any power; and the title of such a purchaser and the
         position of such a person shall not be impeachable by reference to any
         of those matters and the protections contained in Sections 104 to 107
         of the 1925 Act shall apply to any person purchasing from or dealing
         with a Receiver or the Security Trustee.

10.2     RECEIPTS

         Upon any dealing or transaction under this Deed, the receipt of the
         Security Trustee or a Receiver, as the case may be, shall be an
         absolute and a conclusive discharge to a purchaser and shall relieve
         him of any obligation to see to the application of any moneys paid to
         or by the direction of the Security Trustee or such Receiver.

11.      PROTECTION OF SECURITY TRUSTEE AND RECEIVER

11.1     LIABILITY

         Neither the Security Trustee nor any Receiver shall be liable to the
         Second Issuer in the absence of breach of the terms of this Deed by
         them, or wilful default, fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct on
         their part or that of their officers, employees or agents in respect of
         any loss or damage which arises out of the exercise or the attempted or
         purported exercise of or failure to exercise any of their respective
         powers.

11.2     POSSESSION

         Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 11.3 (Mortgagee in
         Possession), entry into possession of the Second Issuer Charged
         Property or any part thereof shall not render the Security Trustee or
         the Receiver of that company liable to account as mortgagee in

<PAGE>
                                       23

         possession. If and whenever the Security Trustee or the Receiver enters
         into possession of the Second Issuer Charged Property, it shall be
         entitled at any time to go out of such possession.

11.3     MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION

         Neither the Security Trustee nor the Second Issuer Secured Creditors
         shall, by reason of any assignment or other security made under this
         Deed, be or be deemed to be a mortgagee in possession nor shall they
         take any action (other than, in the case of the Second Issuer Secured
         Creditors, with the Security Trustee's prior written consent) which
         would be likely to lead to the Second Issuer Secured Creditors or the
         Security Trustee becoming a mortgagee in possession in respect of any
         property referred to in this Deed. The Security Trustee, in its
         absolute discretion, may at any time, serve a written notice on the
         Second Issuer Secured Creditors requiring the Second Issuer Secured
         Creditors from the date such notice is served to obtain the Security
         Trustee's prior written consent before taking any action which would be
         likely to lead to the Second Issuer Secured Creditors or the Security
         Trustee becoming a mortgagee in possession in respect of any property
         referred to in this Deed.

12.      EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY

12.1     EXPENSES

         The Second Issuer covenants with and undertakes to the Security Trustee
         to reimburse or pay to the Security Trustee or any Receiver of the
         Second Issuer (on the basis of a full indemnity) the amount of all
         costs (including legal costs), charges and expenses (including
         insurance premiums) properly incurred or sustained by the Security
         Trustee or any Receiver (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any
         such costs, charges and expenses arising from any act or omission of,
         or proceedings involving, any third person) in connection with:

         (a)      the exercise or the attempted exercise, or the consideration
                  of the exercise by or on behalf of the Security Trustee or any
                  Receiver of any of the powers of the Security Trustee or such
                  Receiver, and the enforcement, preservation or attempted
                  preservation of this Deed (or any of the charges contained in
                  or granted pursuant to it) or any of the Second Issuer Charged
                  Property or any other action taken by or on behalf of the
                  Security Trustee or such Receiver with a view to or in
                  connection with the recovery by the Security Trustee or such
                  Receiver of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations from the
                  Second Issuer or any other person; or

         (b)      the carrying out of any other act or matter which the Security
                  Trustee or any Receiver may reasonably consider to be
                  necessary for the preservation, improvement or benefit of the
                  Second Issuer Charged Property.

12.2     INDEMNITY

         The Second Issuer agrees to indemnify the Security Trustee and any
         Receiver, on an after-Tax basis, from and against all losses, actions,
         claims, costs (including legal costs on a full indemnity basis),
         expenses (including insurance premiums), demands and liabilities
         whether in contract, tort, delict or otherwise now or hereafter
         properly sustained or incurred by the Security Trustee or such Receiver
         and their respective officers and employees or by any person for whose
         liability, act or omission the Security Trustee or such Receiver may be
         answerable, in connection with anything done or omitted to be done
         under or pursuant to this Deed or any other Transaction Document to
         which such entity is a party, or in the exercise or purported exercise
         of the powers herein contained, or occasioned by any breach by the
         Second Issuer of any of its covenants or other obligations to the
         Security Trustee, or in

<PAGE>
                                       24

         consequence of any payment in respect of the Second Issuer Secured
         Obligations (whether made by the Second Issuer or a third person) being
         declared void or impeached for any reason whatsoever save where the
         same arises as the result of the fraud, negligence or wilful default of
         the Security Trustee or such Receiver or their respective officers or
         employees or breach by the Security Trustee or such Receiver or their
         respective officers or employees of the terms of this Deed.

12.3     TAXES

         All sums payable by the Second Issuer under this Deed are deemed to be
         exclusive of any amount in respect of VAT. If, pursuant to any
         provision of this Deed, the Security Trustee or any Receiver of the
         Second Issuer makes any taxable or deemed taxable supply to the Second
         Issuer, then the Second Issuer shall pay to the Security Trustee or
         such Receiver (as the case may be) (in addition to the consideration
         for the supply) an amount equal to the VAT charged in respect of such
         taxable or deemed taxable supply against production of a valid VAT
         invoice.

         If the Security Trustee or any Receiver shall make any payment for a
         taxable or deemed taxable supply to it pursuant to or in connection
         with this Deed and any such payment shall bear VAT which is
         Irrecoverable VAT the Second Issuer shall indemnify the Security
         Trustee or such Receiver (as the case may be) on demand for an amount
         equal to such Irrecoverable VAT so far as it has not been taken into
         account in computing the amount of any payment made by the Second
         Issuer to the Security Trustee or such Receiver under any other
         indemnity contained in this Deed.

12.4     INTEREST

         All sums payable by the Second Issuer under Clauses 24.3 (Disputes),
         24.4 (Expenses) and 24.5 (Indemnity) shall be payable on demand and:

         (a)      in the case of payments actually made by the Security Trustee
                  prior to the demand, shall carry interest at the rate per
                  annum which is 1 per cent. per annum higher than the base rate
                  of the Agent Bank for the time being from the first Business
                  Day following the date of the same being demanded to the date
                  of actual payment (provided that such demand shall be made on
                  a Business Day, otherwise interest shall be payable from the
                  second Business Day following the date of the demand to the
                  date of actual payment); and

         (b)      in all other cases, shall carry interest at such rate from the
                  date 14 days after the date of the same being demanded or
                  (where the demand specifies that payment by the Security
                  Trustee will be made on an earlier date provided such earlier
                  date is a business day) from such earlier date (not being
                  earlier than the Business Day following the date of such
                  demand) to the date of actual payment.

         Any amounts payable pursuant to Clauses 24.1 (Remuneration) and 24.2
         (Additional Remuneration) shall carry interest at the aforesaid rate
         from the due date thereof to the date of actual payment.

         The Second Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable United
         Kingdom law, pay all stamp duties and other duties or Taxes of a
         similar nature, including for the avoidance of

<PAGE>
                                       25

         doubt any duty levied under the Stamp Act 1891 as amended and
         supplemented, (if any) payable on or arising out of or in consequence
         of:

         (a)      the creation of the security constituted by or pursuant to
                  this Deed; and

         (b)      the execution and delivery of this Deed and documents executed
                  pursuant hereto and the other Second Issuer Transaction
                  Documents (except where such obligation to pay such stamp
                  duties and other duties on Taxes of a similar nature is
                  expressed to be the obligation of any other party to the
                  Second Issuer Transaction Documents).

13.      PROTECTION OF SECURITY

         The Second Issuer further covenants with and undertakes to the Security
         Trustee from time to time (and, for the purposes mentioned in paragraph
         (a) below, notwithstanding that the a Second Issuer Note Acceleration
         Notice may not have been served) upon demand to execute, at the Second
         Issuer's own cost, any document or do any act or thing (other than any
         amendment hereto) which the Security Trustee may specify:

         (a)      with a view to registering or perfecting any charge or other
                  security created or intended to be created by or pursuant to
                  this Deed (including the perfecting of the conversion of any
                  floating charge to a fixed charge pursuant to Clause 14.1
                  (Notice) or 14.2 (Automatic Crystallisation)) subject to
                  having first obtained all necessary consents (if any); or

         (b)      with a view to facilitating the exercise or the proposed
                  exercise of any of their powers or the realisation of any of
                  the Second Issuer Charged Property; or

         (c)      with a view to protecting the encumbrances created by or
                  pursuant to this Deed,

         provided that the Second Issuer shall not be obliged to execute any
         further documentation or take any other action or steps to the extent
         that it would breach a restriction in any such agreement to which it is
         party relating to assignment, transferring, charging or sharing of
         possession/rights of such benefit.

14.      CRYSTALLISATION

14.1     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 Security Trustee may have, the Security Trustee may, at
         any time, if:

         (a)      a Potential Second Issuer Note Event of Default is subsisting
                  and has not been waived; or

         (b)      it believes that the Second Issuer Charged Property or any
                  part thereof is in danger of being seized or sold under any
                  form of distress or execution levied or threatened or is
                  otherwise in jeopardy or imperilled; or

         (c)      any circumstance shall occur which, in the reasonable opinion
                  of the Security Trustee, prejudices, imperils, threatens or is
                  likely to do any of the foregoing in respect of the security
                  created by this Deed or the Second Issuer takes or threatens
                  to

<PAGE>
                                       26

                  take any action that would be prejudicial to, or would be
                  inconsistent with, the security created hereby,

         by notice in writing to the Second Issuer declare that the floating
         charge hereby created shall be converted into a first specific fixed
         charge as to all of the undertakings, property and assets or such of
         them as may be specified in the notice, and by way of further
         assurance, the Second Issuer, at its own expense, shall execute all
         documents in such form as the Security Trustee shall require and shall
         deliver to the Security Trustee all conveyances, deeds, certificates
         and documents which may be necessary to perfect such first specific
         fixed charge.

14.2     AUTOMATIC CRYSTALLISATION

         Subject as set out below, in addition and without prejudice to any
         other event resulting in a crystallisation of the floating charge
         created by this Deed, the floating charge contained herein shall
         automatically be converted into a fixed charge over all property,
         assets or undertaking of the Second Issuer subject to the floating
         charge, if and when:

         (a)      a Second Issuer Note Event of Default occurs; or

         (b)      the Second Issuer ceases to carry on all or a substantial part
                  of its business or ceases to be a going concern or thereafter
                  to do any of the foregoing; or

         (c)      the Second Issuer stops making payments to its creditors or
                  gives notice to creditors that it intends to stop payment; or

         (d)      the holder of any other Encumbrance in relation to the Second
                  Issuer, whether ranking in priority to or pari passu with or
                  after the charges contained in this Deed, appoints a Receiver;
                  or

         (e)      any floating charge granted by the Second Issuer to any other
                  person (whether permitted by the Second Issuer Transaction
                  Documents or not) crystallises for any reason whatsoever.

         The floating charge created by Clause 3.4 of this Deed may not be
         converted into a fixed charge 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 leave of the court.

14.3     FAILURE OF PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATION OR WINDING-UP

         If any petition for the administration or winding-up of the Second
         Issuer is dismissed or withdrawn or a resolution for winding-up the
         Second Issuer is not passed by the necessary majority, then without
         prejudice to any rights exercisable otherwise than in consequence of
         the presentation of such petition or resolution and subject to anything
         done in the meantime in pursuance of the powers given by this Deed and
         subject to the provisions contained in this Deed as to costs charges
         and expenses incurred and payments made, possession of the Second
         Issuer Charged Property will be restored to the Second Issuer, and the
         Second Issuer and all persons concerned will be remitted to their
         original rights provided that the Security Trustee is satisfied that
         its security position at that time is not materially different to that
         as at the date of this Deed.

         Immediately upon execution of this Deed, the Second Issuer shall
         execute and deliver to the Security Trustee a power of attorney in or
         substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1. For the avoidance of
         doubt, the Security Trustee confirms that it may only exercise the
         powers conferred under such power of attorney in the circumstances set
         out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1.

15.2     SECOND ISSUER CHARGED PROPERTY ON TRUST

         To the extent that it is permitted to do so under the Transaction

         Acceleration Notice, it will hold all of the Second Issuer Charged
         Property (subject to the right of redemption) upon trust to convey,
         assign or otherwise deal with such Second Issuer Charged Property in
         such manner and to such person as the Security Trustee shall direct,
         and declares that it shall be lawful for the Security Trustee to

         in place of the Second Issuer.

16.      OTHER SECURITY, ETC.

16.1     NO MERGER

         The Security Interests contained in or created pursuant to this Deed
         are in addition to, and shall neither be merged in, nor in any way
         exclude or prejudice any other Encumbrance, right of recourse, set-off
         or other right whatsoever which the Security Trustee or any Second
         Issuer Secured Creditor may now or at any time hereafter hold or have
         (or would apart from this Deed or any charge contained or created
         pursuant to this Deed hold or have) as regards the Second Issuer or any
         other person in respect of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations, and
         neither the Security Trustee (subject to the provisions of Clause 20.4
         (Mandatory Enforcement) nor any Second Issuer Secured Creditor shall be
         under any obligation to take any steps to call in or to enforce any
         security for the Second Issuer Secured Obligations, and shall not be
         liable to the Second Issuer for any loss arising from any omission on
         the part of the Security Trustee or any Second Issuer Secured Creditor
         to take any such steps or for the manner in which the Security Trustee
         or any Second Issuer Secured Creditor shall enforce or refrain from
         enforcing any such security.

16.2     CONSOLIDATION

         Section 93 of the 1925 Act shall not apply in relation to any of the

         the whole or any part of the Second Issuer Charged Property or any
         Security Interests created under this Deed in contravention of the
         provisions hereof:

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

<PAGE>
                                       28

         (b)      all payments made by the Second Issuer to the Security Trustee
                  after the 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
                  Second Issuer Secured Obligations as at the time the Security
                  Trustee received such notice.

16.4     CHANGE OF NAME, ETC.

         This Deed shall remain valid and enforceable notwithstanding any change
         in the name, composition or constitution of the Security Trustee or the

         Trustee or the Second Issuer with any other corporation (whether, in
         the case of the Second Issuer, permitted by the Second Issuer
         Transaction Documents or not).

17.      AVOIDANCE OF PAYMENTS

17.1     NO RELEASE

         No assurance, security or payment which may be avoided or adjusted
         under the law, including under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or
         insolvency and no release, settlement or discharge given or made by the
         Security Trustee or any Second Issuer Secured Creditor on the faith of
         any such assurance, security or payment, shall prejudice or affect the
         right of the Security Trustee or any Second Issuer Secured Creditor to
         recover the Second Issuer Secured Obligations from the Second Issuer
         (including any monies which it may be compelled to pay or refund under
         the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986 and any costs payable by it
         pursuant to or otherwise incurred in connection therewith) or to
         enforce the Security Interests created under or pursuant to this Deed
         to the full extent of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations.

17.2     RETENTION OF CHARGES

         If the Security Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing
         that the Second 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 Second
         Issuer shall be prima facie evidence of the solvency of the Second
         Issuer) at the date of any payment made by the Second Issuer to the
         Security Trustee and that as a result, such payment may be capable of
         being avoided or clawed back, the Security Trustee shall be at liberty
         to retain the Security Interests 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 Second Issuer Secured Obligations notwithstanding any release,
         settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made by the
         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 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
         Second Issuer or the Second Issuer shall commence to be wound up or to
         go into administration or any analogous proceedings shall be commenced
         by or against the Second Issuer, as the case may be, the Security
         Trustee shall be at liberty to continue to retain such security for
         such further period as the 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 Security Trustee of all Second Issuer
         Secured Obligations.

18.      SET OFF

         The Security Trustee may at any time following the service of a Second
         Issuer Note Acceleration Notice (without notice and notwithstanding any
         settlement of account or other matter whatsoever) combine or
         consolidate all or any existing accounts of the Second Issuer whether
         in its own name or jointly with others and held by it or any Second
         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 Second Issuer from the
         Security Trustee or relevant Second Issuer Secured Creditor and whether
         or not the credit balance and the account in debit or the Second Issuer
         Secured Obligations are expressed in the same currency in which case
         the Security Trustee is hereby authorised to effect any necessary
         conversions at its prevailing rates of exchange) in or towards
         satisfaction of any of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations and may in
         its absolute discretion estimate the amount of any liability of the
         Second Issuer which is contingent or unascertained and thereafter set
         off such estimated amount and no amount shall be payable by the
         Security Trustee to the Second Issuer unless and until all Second
         Issuer Secured Obligations have been ascertained and fully repaid or
         discharged.

19.      EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS

         Any document required to be executed as a deed by the Security Trustee
         under or in connection with this Deed shall be validly executed if
         executed as a deed by a duly authorised attorney of the Security
         Trustee.

20.      EXERCISE OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

20.1     NO ENFORCEMENT BY SECOND ISSUER SECURED CREDITORS

         Each of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors (other than the
         Noteholders, the Note Trustee acting on behalf of the Second Issuer
         Noteholders and the Security Trustee) hereby agrees with the Second
         Issuer and the Security Trustee that:

         (a)      only the Security Trustee may enforce the security created in
                  favour of the Security Trustee by this Deed in accordance with
                  the provisions hereof; and

         (b)      it shall not take any steps for the purpose of recovering any
                  of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations (including, without
                  limitation, by exercise any rights of set off) or enforcing
                  any rights arising out of the Second Issuer Transaction
                  Documents against the Second Issuer or procuring the winding
                  up, administration or liquidation of the Second Issuer in
                  respect of any of its liabilities whatsoever,

         unless a Second Issuer Note Acceleration Notice shall have been served
         or the Note Trustee, having become bound to serve a Second Issuer Note
         Acceleration Notice, and/or having become bound to take any steps or
         proceedings to enforce the said security pursuant to this Deed, fails
         to do so within 30 days of becoming so bound and that failure is
         continuing (in which case each of such Second Issuer Secured Creditors
         shall be entitled to take any such steps and proceedings as it shall
         deem necessary other than the presentation of a petition for the
         winding up of, or for an administration order in respect of, the Second
         Issuer).

20.2     KNOWLEDGE OF SECURITY TRUSTEE OF A SECOND ISSUER NOTE EVENT OF DEFAULT

         The Security Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of the
         occurrence of a Second Issuer Note Event of Default unless the Security
         Trustee has received written notice from a

<PAGE>
                                       30

         Second Issuer Secured Creditor stating that a Second Issuer Note Event
         of Default has occurred and describing that Second Issuer Note Event of
         Default.

20.3     DISCRETIONARY ENFORCEMENT

         Subject to the provisions of this Deed, the Security Trustee may at any
         time, at its discretion and without notice, take such proceedings
         and/or other action as it may think fit against, or in relation to, the
         Second Issuer or any other person to enforce their respective
         obligations under any of the Second Issuer Transaction Documents.
         Subject to the provisions of this Deed, at any time after the security
         created by this Deed has become enforceable, the Security Trustee may,
         at its discretion and without notice, take such steps as it may think
         fit to enforce such security.

20.4     MANDATORY ENFORCEMENT

         The Security Trustee shall not be bound to take any steps or to
         institute any proceedings or to take any other action under or in
         connection with any of the Second Issuer Transaction Documents
         (including, without limitation, enforcing the security constituted by
         or pursuant to this Deed) unless (subject to the provisions of
         Condition 10 of the Second Issuer Notes) the Security Trustee:

         (a)      shall have been directed or requested to do so by an
                  Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Noteholders, the Class
                  B Noteholders or the Class C Noteholders or in writing by the
                  holders of at least 25 per cent. in aggregate Principal Amount
                  Outstanding of the Class A Second Issuer Notes, the Class B
                  Second Issuer Notes or the Class C Second Issuer Notes then
                  outstanding or by any other Second Issuer Secured Creditor
                  PROVIDED THAT:

                  (i)      the Security Trustee shall not, and shall not be
                           bound to, act at the direction or request of the
                           Class B Noteholders as aforesaid unless either so to

         or prospective liabilities of the Second Issuer, to discharge in full

                  conveyed although the same shall contain some error or shall
                  not be authentic provided that such error or lack of
                  authenticity is not manifest;

         (c)      the Security Trustee shall (save as expressly otherwise
                  provided in this Deed or any of the other Second Issuer
                  Transaction Documents) as regards all rights, powers,
                  authorities and discretions vested in it by this Deed or any
                  of the other Transaction Documents, or by operation of law,

                  where such agent is an affiliate or associated company of, or
                  otherwise connected with, the Security Trustee) shall not be
                  responsible for any misconduct or default on the part of any
                  person appointed by it in good faith hereunder or be bound to
                  supervise the proceedings or acts of any such persons;

                  connection with this Deed to convert any sum from one currency
                  to another it shall (unless otherwise provided by this Deed or
                  required by law) be converted at such rate or rates in
                  accordance with such method and as at such date for the
                  determination of such rate of exchange, as may be specified by
                  the Security Trustee in its absolute discretion but having
                  regard to current rates of exchange if available and the
                  Security Trustee shall not be liable for any loss occasioned
                  by the said conversion under this paragraph (f);

                  consent given by the Security Trustee for the purposes of this
                  Deed or any of the other Transaction Documents may be given on
                  such terms and subject to such conditions (if any) as the
                  Security Trustee in its absolute discretion thinks fit and,
                  notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
                  Deed or any of the other Second Issuer Transaction Documents,
                  may be given retrospectively;

         (h)      the Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely (without
                  investigation or further inquiry) upon a certificate,

                  or any other person in respect of every matter and
                  circumstance for which a certificate is expressly provided for
                  under this Deed or the other Second Issuer Transaction
                  Documents and to call for and rely upon a certificate of the
                  Second Issuer or any other person reasonably believed by it to
                  be genuine as to any other fact or matter prima facie within
                  the knowledge of the Second Issuer or such person as

                  behalf of the relevant class of Second Issuer Noteholders and
                  the Security Trustee shall not be bound in any such case to
                  inquire as to the compliance with the Second Issuer Trust Deed
                  or be responsible for any loss, liability, costs, damages,
                  expenses or inconvenience that may be caused by it failing to

                  any resolution purporting to have been passed at any meeting
                  of the Class A Noteholders or the Class B Noteholders or the
                  Class C Noteholders in respect whereof minutes have been made
                  and purporting to have been signed by the chairman thereof,
                  even though it may subsequently be found that there was some
                  defect in the constitution of the meeting or the passing of
                  the resolution or that for any reason the resolution was not
                  valid or binding upon the Class A Noteholders or the Class B
                  Noteholders or the Class C Noteholders;

          (k)     the Security Trustee may call for and shall be at liberty to
                  accept and place full reliance on as sufficient evidence of
                  the facts stated therein a certificate or letter of
                  confirmation certified as true and accurate and signed on
                  behalf of DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or any
                  depository or common depository for them or such person as the
                  Security Trustee considers appropriate, or any form of record
                  made by any of them to the effect that any particular time or
                  through any particular period any particular person is, was or
                  will be shown in its records as entitled to a particular
                  number of Second Issuer Notes;

         (l)      the Security Trustee shall, in connection with the exercise by

                           of the Second Issuer Noteholders of any class, it
                           shall have regard to the interests of such Second
                           Issuer Noteholders as a class and, in particular but

                           A Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies has
                           confirmed that the then current rating by it of the
                           Class A Notes would not be adversely affected by such
                           exercise, that such exercise will not be materially
                           prejudicial to the interests of the Class B

                           confirmed that the then current rating by it of the
                           Class B Notes would not be adversely affected by such
                           exercise and that such exercise will not be
                           materially prejudicial to the interests of the Class
                           C Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies has
                           confirmed that the then current rating by it of the
                           Class C Notes will not be adversely affected by such

         (m)      the Security Trustee shall have no responsibility for the
                  maintenance of any rating of the Second Issuer Notes by the
                  Rating Agencies or any other person;

         (n)      the Security Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
                  judgment made in good faith by any officer or employee of the
                  Security Trustee assigned by the Security Trustee to
                  administer its corporate trust matters unless it shall be
                  proved that the Security Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
                  the pertinent facts;

         (o)      no provision of this Deed or any other Document shall require
                  the Security Trustee to do anything which may be illegal or
                  contrary to applicable law or regulation or expend or risk its
                  own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
                  performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
                  its rights or powers or otherwise in connection with this Deed
                  or any other Second Issuer Transaction Document (including,
                  without limitation, forming any opinion or employing any
                  legal, financial or other adviser), if it shall believe that
                  repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
                  risk or liability is not assured to it;

         (p)      the Security Trustee shall not (unless and to the extent
                  ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction) be
                  required to disclose to any Second Issuer Secured Creditor any
                  information made available to the Security Trustee by the
                  Second Issuer in connection with the trusts of this Deed or
                  the Second Issuer Transaction Documents and no Second Issuer
                  Secured Creditor shall be entitled to take any action to
                  obtain from the Security Trustee any such information; and

         (q)      the Security Trustee may appoint and pay any person to act as
                  a custodian or nominee on any terms in relation to such assets
                  of the trust as the Security Trustee may determine, including
                  for the purpose of depositing with a custodian this Deed or

         be, or might have been, discovered upon examination, inquiry or
         investigation and whether or not capable of remedy. Notwithstanding the

         be solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and
         investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness,

         Security Trustee in respect thereof.

                  territory, or by registering any notice, caution or other
                  entry prescribed by or pursuant to the provisions of the said
                  laws.

23.      SUPPLEMENTAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE SECURITY TRUSTEE

23.1     ASSUMPTION OF NO DEFAULT

         Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Security Trustee
         shall be and is hereby authorised to assume without enquiry, and it is
         hereby declared to be the intention of the Security Trustee that it
         shall assume without enquiry, that the Second Issuer and each of the
         other parties thereto is duly performing and observing all the
         covenants and provisions contained in this Deed and the other
         Transaction Documents to be performed and observed on their parts and
         that no event has occurred which constitutes a Second Issuer Note Event
         of Default or a Potential Second Issuer Note Event of Default or which
         would cause a right or

<PAGE>
                                       41

         remedy to become exercisable, whether by Funding 1, the Second Issuer
         or the Security Trustee, under or in respect of any of the Transaction
         Documents.

23.2     DELEGATION

         The Security Trustee may, in the execution of all or any of the trusts,
         powers, authorities and discretions vested in it by this Deed or any of
         the other Second Issuer Transaction Documents, act by responsible
         officers or a responsible officer for the time being of the Security
         Trustee. The Security Trustee may also, whenever it thinks expedient in
         the interests of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors, whether by power
         of attorney or otherwise, delegate to any person or persons all or any
         of the trusts, rights, powers, duties, authorities and discretions
         vested in it by this Deed or any of the other Second Issuer Transaction
         Documents. Any such delegation may be made upon such terms and
         conditions and subject to such regulations (including power to
         sub-delegate) as the Security Trustee may think fit in the interests of
         the Second Issuer Secured Creditors or any of them and, provided that
         the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the
         selection of such delegate and, where a power to sub-delegate has been
         given, has obliged the delegate to exercise reasonable care in the
         selection of any sub-delegate, the Security Trustee shall not be bound
         to supervise the proceedings of, or be responsible for any loss
         incurred by any misconduct or default on the part of, such delegate or
         sub-delegate. The Security Trustee shall give prompt notice to the
         Second Issuer of the appointment of any delegate as aforesaid and shall
         procure that any delegate shall also give prompt notice of the
         appointment of any sub-delegate to the Second Issuer.

23.3     COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS

         The Security Trustee shall not, and no director, officer or employee of
         any corporation being a trustee hereof shall, by reason of the
         fiduciary position of the Security Trustee, be in any way precluded
         from making any contracts or entering into any transactions in the
         ordinary course of business with the Second Issuer, Funding 1 or
         Holdings or any other subsidiary of Holdings or any other party to the
         Second Issuer Transaction Documents or any other party to any of the
         Second Issuer Transaction Documents or from accepting the trusteeship
         of any stock, shares, debenture stock, debentures or securities of any
         such person. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, it
         is expressly declared that such contracts and transactions include any
         contract or transaction in relation to the placing, underwriting,
         purchasing, subscribing for or dealing with or lending money upon or
         making payments in respect of any stock, shares, debenture stock,
         debentures or other securities of the Second Issuer, Funding 1 or
         Holdings or any other subsidiary of Holdings or any other party to the
         Second Issuer Transaction Documents or any contract of banking or
         insurance with the Second Issuer, Funding 1 or Holdings or any other
         subsidiary of Holdings or any other party to the Transaction Documents.
         Neither the Security Trustee nor any such director or officer of the
         Security Trustee shall be accountable to any of the Second Issuer
         Secured Creditors or the Second Issuer, Funding 1 or Holdings for any
         profit, fees, commissions, interest, discounts or share of brokerage
         earned, arising or resulting from any such contracts or transactions.
         The Security Trustee and any such director, officer or employee shall
         be at liberty to retain the same for its or his own benefit.

23.4     ADDITIONAL POWERS

         The powers conferred by this Deed upon the Security Trustee shall be in
         addition to any powers which may from time to time be vested in it by
         general law.

23.5     DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

         The Security Trustee has no duties or responsibilities except those
         expressly set out in this Deed or in the Transaction Documents.

23.6     CONSENT OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

         If a request in writing is made to the Security Trustee by the Second
         Issuer or any other person to give its consent to any event, matter or
         thing, then:

         (a)      if the Second Issuer Transaction Document specifies that the
                  Security Trustee is required to give its consent to that
                  event, matter or thing if certain specified conditions are
                  satisfied in relation to that event, matter or thing, then the
                  Security Trustee shall give its consent to that event, matter
                  or thing upon being satisfied acting reasonably that those
                  specified conditions have been satisfied; and

         (b)      in any other case, the Security Trustee may give its consent
                  if to do so would not, in its opinion, be materially
                  prejudicial to the interests of the Second Issuer Secured
                  Creditors.

23.7     INTERESTS OF SECOND ISSUER SECURED CREDITORS

         Where the Security Trustee is required to have regard to the interests
         of any Second Issuer Secured Creditor (other than the Second Issuer
         Noteholders), the Security Trustee may consult with such Second Issuer
         Secured Creditor and may rely on the opinion of such Second Issuer
         Secured Creditor as to whether any act, matter or thing is or is not in
         the interests of, or materially prejudicial to the interests of, such
         Second Issuer Secured Creditor.

23.8     MODIFICATION TO TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS

(a)      Without prejudice to Clause 23.6 (Consent of Security Trustee), the
         Security Trustee may from time to time and at any time without any
         consent or sanction of the Second Issuer Secured Creditors concur with
         any person in making or sanctioning any modification:

         (i)      to any of the Transaction Documents which in the opinion of
                  the Security Trustee it may be expedient to make, provided
                  that the Security Trustee is of the opinion, acting
                  reasonably, that such modification will not be materially
                  prejudicial to the interests of the Second Issuer Secured
                  Creditors or, if it is not of that opinion in relation to any
                  Second Issuer Secured Creditor, such Second Issuer Secured
                  Creditor has given its written consent to such modification;
                  or

         (ii)     to any of the Transaction Documents which in the Security
                  Trustee's opinion is made to correct a manifest error or is of
                  a formal, minor or technical nature.

(b)      Without prejudice to Clause 23.6 (Consent of Security Trustee) and
         subject to paragraph (c) below, the Security Trustee shall be required
         to give its consent to any modifications to the Mortgage Sale
         Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement, the
         Funding 1 Deed of Charge, the Funding 1 Liquidity Facility Agreement,
         the Funding 1 Swap Agreement, the Intercompany Loan Terms and
         Conditions, the Bank Account Agreement and the Master Definitions and
         Construction Schedule that are requested by Funding 1 or the Cash
         Manager, provided that (i) the Funding 1 Liquidity Facility Provider,
         the Funding 1 Swap Provider and each of the Second Issuer Swap
         Providers provide written confirmation to the Security Trustee
         consenting to such modification of any and all of those documents
         listed

<PAGE>
                                       43

         under this paragraph (b) to which they are, respectively, a party (such
         consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and in any event such consent
         shall be deemed to be given by each of the Funding 1 Liquidity Facility
         Provider, the Funding 1 Swap Provider and each Second Issuer Swap
         Provider (as the case may be) if no written response is received by the
         Security Trustee from each party, respectively, by the tenth Business
         Day after the Security Trustee's request for such consent and (ii)
         Funding 1 or the Cash Manager, as the case may be, has certified to the
         Security Trustee in writing that such modifications are required in
         order to accommodate:

         (i)      the entry by Funding 1 into New Intercompany Loan Agreements
                  and/or the addition of other relevant creditors to the
                  Transaction Documents;

         (ii)     the issue of new types of notes by New Issuers;

         (iii)    the inclusion of Funding 2 as a beneficiary of the Mortgages
                  Trust;

         (iv)     the issue of new notes by Funding 2;

         (v)      the assignment of New Loan Types to the Mortgages Trustee;

         (vi)     changes to be made to the Reserve Fund Required Amount and/or
                  the manner in which the Reserve Fund is funded;

         (vii)    changes to be made to the definitions of Asset Trigger Event
                  and Non-Asset Trigger Event; and

         (viii)   the addition of an Additional Funding 1 Liquidity Facility
                  pursuant to the terms of the Funding 1 Deed of Charge.

(c)      The Security Trustee shall only be required to give its consent to the
         modifications set out in paragraph (b) above if the Security Trustee is
         satisfied that:

         (i)      in respect of the matters set out in paragraphs (b)(i) to
                  (b)(iv) inclusive, the relevant conditions precedent to, as
                  applicable, the addition of New Issuers (as set out in Clause
                  2.2 of the Intercompany Loan Terms and Conditions), the
                  inclusion of Funding 2 as a beneficiary of the Mortgages Trust
                  (as set out in Clause 13 of the Mortgages Trust Deed) and the
                  assignment of New Loans to the Mortgages Trustee (as set out
                  in Clause 4 of the Mortgage Sale Agreement), have been
                  satisfied; and

         (ii)     in respect of the matters set out in paragraphs (b)(i) to
                  (b)(vii) inclusive, the Security Trustee has received written
                  confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies that the
                  relevant modifications will not adversely affect the then
                  current ratings of the Notes.

(d)      Each Second Issuer Secured Creditor hereby acknowledges that the
         Security Trustee is required to make the modifications set out in
         paragraph (b) above (subject to paragraph (c)), and each Second Issuer
         Secured Creditor further acknowledges that such modifications may
         adversely affect the manner in which the Mortgages Trustee allocates
         monies to Funding 1 and/or the manner in which Funding 1 pays monies to
         the Second Issuer and/or the amount of monies available to the Second
         Issuer to meet the Second Issuer Secured Obligations. Each Second
         Issuer Secured Creditor agrees that such modifications shall be binding
         on it and unless the Security Trustee otherwise agrees, notice thereof
         shall be given by the Second

<PAGE>
                                       44

         Issuer Cash Manager to the Second Issuer Secured Creditors as soon as
         practicable after the modifications have been made.

(e)      Each of the Second 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 documents and instruments as may be required by law
         or requested by the other party at the other party's expense to
         establish, maintain and protect the rights and remedies of the other
         party and carry out and effect the intent and purpose of this Clause
         23.8.

23.9     AUTHORISATION OR WAIVER OF BREACH

         The Security Trustee may, without the consent of the Second Issuer
         Secured Creditors and without prejudice to its right in respect of any
         further or other breach, from time to time and at any time, but only if
         and in so far as in its opinion acting reasonably the interests of the
         Second Issuer Secured Creditors will not be materially prejudiced
         thereby authorise or waive, on such terms and conditions (if any) as
         shall seem expedient to it, any proposed or actual breach of any of the
         covenants or provisions contained in or arising pursuant to any of the
         Transaction Documents. Any such authorisation or waiver shall be
         binding on the Second Issuer Secured Creditors and, unless the Security
         Trustee otherwise agrees, notice thereof shall be given by the Second
         Issuer Cash Manager to the Second Issuer Secured Creditors as soon as
         practicable thereafter.

23.10    INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

         The provisions of Schedule 4 to the Second Issuer Trust Deed shall be
         deemed to be incorporated in this Deed but as if references therein to
         the Note Trustee were to the Security Trustee.

24.      REMUNERATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF THE SECURITY TRUSTEE

24.1     REMUNERATION

(a)      The Second Issuer shall (subject as hereinafter provided) pay to the
         Security Trustee annually a fee of such amount and payable on such
         dates as shall from time to time be agreed in writing by the Second
         Issuer and the Security Trustee, provided that if and for so long as
         the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee are the same person, no such
         fee shall be payable under this Deed. All such remuneration shall be
         payable in accordance with the Second Issuer Pre-Enforcement Revenue
         Priority of Payments or, as the case may be, the Second Issuer
         Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments. Such remuneration shall accrue
         from day to day and shall be payable up to and including the date when
         all of the Second Issuer Secured Obligations have been paid or
         discharged and the Security Trustee has released, reassigned and/or
         discharged the Second Issuer Charged Property as provided in Clause 4.1
         (Prior to Payment or Discharge of Second Issuer Secured Obligations).

(b)      The Second Issuer shall in addition pay to the Security Trustee an
         amount equal to the amount of any VAT chargeable in respect of its
         remuneration hereunder subject to the Security Trustee issuing to the
         Second Issuer a proper VAT invoice in respect thereof.

24.2     ADDITIONAL REMUNERATION

         In the event of a Second Issuer Note Event of Default or Potential
         Second Issuer Note Event of Default occurring or in the event of the
         Security Trustee finding it expedient or necessary or being required to
         undertake any duties which the Security Trustee and the Second Issuer

<PAGE>
                                       45

         agree to be of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of
         the normal duties of the Security Trustee under this Deed, the Second
         Issuer shall pay to the Security Trustee such additional remuneration
         as shall be agreed between the Security Trustee and the Second Issuer.

24.3     DISPUTES

         In the event of the Security Trustee and the Second Issuer failing to
         agree upon the amount of any remuneration from time to time pursuant to
         Clause 24.1 (Remuneration) or to agree in a case to which Clause 24.2
         (Additional Remuneration) above applies, upon whether such duties are
         of an exceptional nature or otherwise outside the scope of the normal
         duties of the Security Trustee hereunder or upon the amount of such
         additional remuneration, such matters shall be determined by an
         investment bank (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) selected
         by the Security Trustee and approved by the Second Issuer or, failing
         such approval, nominated by the President for the time being of the Law
         Society of England and Wales, the expenses being involved in such
         nomination and the fees of such investment bank being payable by the
         Second Issuer, and the decision of any such investment bank shall be
         final and binding on the Second Issuer and the Security Trustee.

24.4     EXPENSES

         In addition to remuneration hereunder, the Second Issuer shall on
         written request, pay (on the basis of a full indemnity) all other
         costs, charges and expenses which the Security Trustee may properly
         incur in relation to the negotiation, preparation and execution of, the
         exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties under, and in
         any other manner in relation to, this Deed, the Second Issuer Security
         and any of the other Second Issuer Transaction Documents to which the
         Security Trustee is a party including but not limited to travelling and
         legal expenses and any stamp, issue, registration, documentary and
         other Taxes or duties paid or payable by the Security Trustee in
         connection with any action taken or contemplated by or on behalf of the
         Security Trustee for enforcing, or resolving any doubt concerning, or
         for any other purpose in relation to, this Deed or any of the other
         Transaction Documents.

24.5     INDEMNITY

         Without prejudice to the right of indemnity by law given to trustees,
         the Second Issuer shall indemnify the Security Trustee, on an after Tax
         basis, in respect of all proceedings (including claims and liabilities
         in respect of taxes other than on its own overall net income), claims
         and demands and all costs, charges, expenses (including, without
         prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, legal and travelling
         expenses), and liabilities to which it (or any person appointed by it
         to whom any trust, power, authority or discretion may be delegated by
         it in the execution or purported execution of the trusts, powers,
         authorities or discretions vested in it by or pursuant to this Deed and
         any of the other Second Issuer Transaction Documents to which the
         Security Trustee is a party) 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 this Deed and any of the other Second Issuer
         Transaction Documents to which the Security Trustee is a party, or any
         such appointment and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to be
         indemnified out of the Second Issuer Charged Property in respect
         thereof save where the same arises as the result of the fraud,
         negligence or wilful default of the Security Trustee or its officers or
         employees. The Security Trustee shall not be entitled to be indemnified
         twice in respect of the same matter pursuant to this Clause and the
         indemnity contained in Clause 12.2 (Indemnity) of this Deed.

24.6     SURVIVAL

         Unless otherwise specifically stated in any discharge of this Deed, the

25.      APPOINTMENT OF NEW SECURITY TRUSTEE AND REMOVAL OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

25.1     POWER OF SECOND ISSUER

(a)      The power of appointing a new Security Trustee and removing the
         Security Trustee or any new Security Trustee shall be vested in the
         Second Issuer, provided that such appointment or removal must be
         approved by (i) an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Noteholders,
         the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders and (ii) in writing
         by each Second Issuer Secured Creditor (such approval not to be
         reasonably withheld or delayed). Any appointment of a new Security
         Trustee and any retirement or removal of an existing Security Trustee
         hereof shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the
         Second Issuer to the Second Issuer Secured Creditors.

(b)      Any new Security Trustee must (i) meet the requirements of section
         26(a)(1) of the US Investment Company Act of 1940; (ii) not be an
         affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the US Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended) of the Second Issuer or of any person involved in the
         organisation or operation of the Second Issuer; (iii) not offer or
         provide credit or credit enhancement to the Second Issuer; and (iv)
         execute an agreement or instrument concerning the Second Issuer Notes
         containing provisions to the effect set forth in section 26(a)(3) of
         the US Investment Company Act of 1940.

25.2     POWER OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 25.1 (Power of Second Issuer),
         the Security Trustee may (as attorney for the Second Issuer) upon
         giving prior written notice to the Second Issuer but without the
         consent of the Second Issuer or the Second Issuer Secured Creditors
         appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether
         a trust corporation or not) to act either as a separate security
         trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Security Trustee:

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

         (b)      for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirement,
                  restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which any
                  particular act or acts are to be performed or any Second
                  Issuer Charged Property is or is to be located; 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 this Deed or any
                  of the other Transaction Documents to which the Security
                  Trustee is a party or obligations arising pursuant thereto or
                  any of the security constituted by or pursuant to this Deed.

         The Second Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the 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 this Deed or any of the other Transaction Documents to
         which the Security Trustee is a party) have such trusts, powers,
         authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the
         Security Trustee by this Deed or any of the other

<PAGE>
                                       47

         Transaction Documents to which the Security Trustee is a party) and
         such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed on it by
         the instrument of appointment. The Security Trustee shall have power in
         like manner to remove any such person. Such proper remuneration as the
         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 this Deed be treated as costs, charges and expenses
         incurred by the Security Trustee.

25.3     MULTIPLE TRUSTEES

         Whenever there shall be more than two security trustees hereof, the
         majority of such security trustees shall be competent to execute and
         exercise all the trusts, powers, authorities and discretions vested by
         this Deed and any of the other Transaction Documents in the Security
         Trustee generally.

26.      RETIREMENT OF SECURITY TRUSTEE

         Any security trustee for the time being of this Deed may retire at any
         time upon giving not less than three calendar months' prior notice in
         writing to the Second Issuer without assigning any reason therefor and
         without being responsible for any costs resulting from such retirement.
         Provided, however, that the retirement or removal of any security
         trustee shall not become effective unless there remains at least one
         security trustee hereof in office upon such retirement or removal. The
         Second Issuer covenants that, in the event of a security trustee (being
         a sole security trustee) giving notice under this Clause or being
         removed as referred to in Clause 25.1 (Power of Second Issuer), it
         shall use its best endeavours to procure a new security trustee of this
         Deed to be appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If
         within 60 days of having given notice of its intention to retire, the
         Second Issuer has failed to appoint a replacement Security Trustee, the
         outgoing Security Trustee will be entitled to appoint its successor
         (provided that such successor is acceptable to the Rating Agencies and
         will agree to the terms of this Deed) and that the Rating Agencies
         confirm in writing that the current ratings of the Notes shall not be
         either downgraded, reviewed or withdrawn as a result of such
         appointment).

27.      TRUST INDENTURE ACT PREVAILS

         If any provision of this Deed limits, qualifies or conflicts with
         another provision which is required to be included in this Deed by, and
         is not subject to a contractual waiver under, the U.S. Trust Indenture
         Act of 1939, as amended, the required provision of that act shall
         prevail.

28.      NOTICES AND DEMANDS

28.1     SERVICE OF NOTICES

         Any notices to be given pursuant to this Deed to any of the parties
         hereto shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently served if sent to
         the addresses given in Clause 28.2 (Addresses) by prepaid first class
         post, by hand or facsimile transmission and shall be deemed to be given
         (in the case of facsimile transmission) when despatched, (where
         delivered by hand) on the day of delivery if delivered before 17.00
         hours on a Business Day or on the next Business Day if delivered
         thereafter or on a day which is not a Business Day or (in the case of

29.      FURTHER PROVISIONS

29.1     EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS

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

29.2     RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, WAIVERS

         The respective rights of the Security Trustee, the Second Issuer
         Secured Creditors and any Receiver are cumulative, and may be exercised
         as often as they consider appropriate and are in addition to their
         respective rights under the general law. The respective rights of the
         Security Trustee, the Second Issuer Secured Creditors and any Receiver
         in relation to this Deed (whether arising under this Deed or under the
         general law) shall not be capable of being waived or varied otherwise
         than by express waiver or variation in writing; and, in particular, any
         failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any such rights shall
         not operate as a variation or waiver of that or any other such right;
         any defective or partial exercise of such rights shall not preclude any
         other or further exercise of that or any other such right; and no act
         or course of conduct or negotiation on their part or on their behalf
         shall in any way preclude them from exercising any such right or
         constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.

29.3     INVALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION

         If any of the provisions of this Deed become invalid, illegal or
         unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and
         enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
         affected or impaired.

29.4     SEVERABILITY

         Any provision of this Deed which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
         jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
         extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
         remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
         unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
         unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
         permitted by applicable law, the Second Issuer hereby waives any
         provision of law but only to the extent permitted by law which renders
         any provision of this Deed prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

29.5     COUNTERPARTS

         This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which,
         when executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, but all the
         counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument
         provided, however, that this Deed shall have no force or effect until
         it is executed by the last party to execute the same and shall be
         deemed to have been executed and delivered in the place where such last
         party executed this Deed.

29.6     NEW INTERCOMPANY LOAN AGREEMENTS

         If Funding 1 enters into a New Intercompany Loan Agreement, then the
         parties hereto shall execute such documents and take such action as may
         be necessary or required by the Security Trustee for the purpose of
         including the New Issuer, any New Funding 1 Swap Provider, any New
         Start-Up Loan Provider or any other person who has executed an
         Accession Undertaking or any New Term Advance in the Transaction
         Documents.

29.7     VARIATION

         No variation of any provision(s) of this Deed shall be effective unless
         it is in writing and signed by (or by a person duly authorised by) each
         of the parties hereto.

29.8     EXCLUSION OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

         The parties to this Deed do not intend that any term of this Deed
         should be enforced, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third
         Parties) Act 1999, by any person who is not a party to this Deed.

30.      CHOICE OF LAW

30.1     GOVERNING LAW

         This Deed is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with
         English law.

30.2     SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION

         Each party to this Deed hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
         jurisdiction of the English courts in any action or proceeding arising
         out of or relating to this Deed, and hereby

<PAGE>
                                       51

         irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
         proceeding may be heard and determined by such courts. Each party to
         this Deed hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may
         possibly do so, any defence or claim that the English courts are an
         inconvenient forum for the maintenance or hearing of such action or
         proceeding.

30.3     AGENT FOR PROCESS

         The US Paying Agent shall at all times maintain an agent for service of
         process of any other documents in proceedings in England or any
         proceedings in connection with this Deed. Such agent shall be the
         Principal Paying Agent having its office at 5 Carmelite Street, London
         EC4Y 0PA (and by execution of this Deed, the Principal Paying Agent
         hereby accepts such appointment). Any writ judgment or other notice of
         legal process shall be sufficiently served on the Second Issuer if
         delivered to such agent at its address for the time being. The US
         Paying Agent undertakes not to revoke the authority of the above agent
         and if, for any reason, the Security Trustee requests the US Paying
         Agent to do so, it shall promptly appoint another such agent with an
         address in England and advise the Note Trustee, the Second Issuer Swap
         Providers, the Corporate Services Provider and the Security Trustee
         thereof. If following such a request the US Paying Agent fails to
         appoint another agent the Security Trustee shall be entitled to appoint
         one on their behalf.

         The US Paying Agent agrees that failure by a process agent to notify
         the US Paying Agent of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
         concerned.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Deed to be duly executed
and delivered as a deed the day and year first before written.
