     (b)  Section 103 of the 1925 Act shall not apply to this Current Issuer
          Deed of Charge and forthwith after the security has become
          enforceable in accordance with Clause 7.2 (Enforceable) the
          statutory power of sale, as extended by this Current Issuer Deed of
          Charge, and all other powers shall become immediately exercisable

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

     (e)  carry out any transaction, scheme or arrangement which the Note
          Trustee may, in its absolute discretion, consider appropriate with a

     (g)  exercise all or any of the powers conferred on mortgagees by the
          1925 Act as varied or extended by this Current Issuer Deed of Charge
          and any other rights and remedies

                                      16

          Secured Creditor agrees that it will pay to the Note Trustee or the
          Receiver, as the case may be, all monies received or

                                      18

9.   Receiver

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

9.2  Removal and Replacement: Except as otherwise required by statute, the
     Note Trustee may by writing or by deed remove a Receiver and appoint
     another in its place or to act with a Receiver and the Note Trustee may
     apply to the court for an order removing an administrative receiver.

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

9.4  Agent of Current Issuer: The Receiver shall, so far as the law permits,
     be the agent of the Current Issuer and the Current Issuer alone shall be
     responsible for the Receiver's contracts, engagements, acts, omissions,
     misconduct, negligence or default and for liabilities incurred by it; and
     in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Note Trustee or any Current
     Issuer Secured

                                      19
<PAGE>

     Creditor be in any way responsible for or incur any liability in
     connection with its contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, misconduct,
     negligence or default, and if a liquidator of the Current Issuer shall be
     appointed, the Receiver shall act as principal and not as agent for the
     Note Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, such
     Receiver shall in the exercise of its powers, authorities and discretions
     conform to the regulations or directions (if any) from time to time made
     and given by the Note Trustee.

9.5  Remuneration: Subject as provided otherwise by applicable law, the
     remuneration of the Receiver shall be fixed by the Note Trustee and may
     be or include a commission calculated by reference to the gross amount of
     all monies received or otherwise. Such remuneration and such commission
     (if any) shall be payable hereunder by the Current Issuer alone subject
     always to Clause 8.3 (Current Issuer Post-Enforcement Priority of
     Payments) and the amount of such remuneration shall form part of the
     Current Issuer Secured Obligations and shall accordingly be secured on
     the Current Issuer Charged Property under the security created by this

     Creditors shall co-operate and do all acts and enter into such further
     documents, deeds or agreements as the Note Trustee may deem necessary or
     desirable to ensure that an administration order is not made and that an
     administrative receiver is appointed.

     Current Issuer Note Enforcement Notice) upon demand:

     (a)  to execute, at the Current Issuer's cost, any document or do any act
          or thing which the Note Trustee or any Receiver may specify

          over the Current Issuer Charged Property and any other assets of the
          Current Issuer in such form as the Note Trustee and/or any Receiver

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

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

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

     and for the purpose of this Clause 10.1 (Further Assurance) a certificate
     in writing signed by the Note Trustee to the effect that any particular
     assurance or thing is required by it shall be conclusive evidence of that
     fact provided that the Current Issuer shall not be obliged to execute any
     such documentation or take any other action or steps to the extent that
     it would breach a restriction in any agreement to which it is a party or
     conflict with any applicable law.

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

10.3 Current Issuer Charged Property on Trust: To the extent permitted to do
     so under the Current Issuer Transaction Documents, for the purpose of
     giving effect to this Current Issuer

                                      23
<PAGE>

     Deed of Charge, the Current Issuer hereby declares that, after service of
     a Current Issuer Note Enforcement Notice, it will hold all the Current
     Issuer Charged Property (subject to the right of redemption) upon trust
     to convey, assign or otherwise deal with such Current Issuer Charged
     Property in such manner and to such person as the Note Trustee shall
     direct pursuant to this Current Issuer Deed of Charge, and declares that
     it shall be lawful for the Note Trustee to appoint a new trustee or
     trustees of the Current Issuer Charged Property in place of the Current
     Issuer.

11.  Crystallisation

11.1 Notice: In addition and without prejudice to any other event resulting in
     a crystallisation of the floating charges created by this Current Issuer
     Deed of Charge or any other right the Note Trustee may have, the Note
     Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Current Issuer, declare that the
     floating charges hereby created shall be converted into first specific
     fixed charges over such of the undertaking, property and assets of the
     Current Issuer as the Note Trustee may specify in such notice at any time
     if:

          Note Event of Default has occurred; or

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

     (c)  the Note Trustee considers that it is desirable in order to protect
          the priority of the security created by this Current Issuer Deed of
          Charge.

11.2 Automatic Crystallisation: In addition and without prejudice to any other
     event resulting in a crystallisation of the floating charge contained
     herein and without prejudice to any rule of law which may have a similar
     effect, the floating charge created under this Current Issuer Deed of
     Charge shall automatically and without notice be converted with immediate
     effect into a fixed charge as regards:

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

          (i)    the presentation of a petition for the compulsory winding-up
                 of the Current Issuer;

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

          (iii)  the presentation of a petition for the making of an
                 administration order in relation to the Current Issuer;

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

                                      24
<PAGE>

          (v)    the occurrence of a Current Issuer Note Event of Default;
                 and/or

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

12.  Provisions relating to the Security

12.1 Continuing Security: The security created under or pursuant to this
     Current Issuer Deed of Charge shall be:

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

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

12.2 Consolidation: Section 93 of the 1925 Act shall not apply in relation to
     any of the charges contained in this Current Issuer Deed of Charge.

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

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

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

12.4 Avoidance of Payments: Any settlement, discharge or release between (a)
     the Current Issuer and (b) the Note Trustee or any Receiver (the
     "Relevant Person(s)") shall be conditional upon no security or payment
     granted or made to the Relevant Person(s) by the Current Issuer or any
     other person being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or
     enactments

                                      25
<PAGE>

     relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation for the time being in
     force and, in the event of such security or payment being so avoided or
     reduced, the Relevant Person(s) shall be entitled to recover the value or
     amount of such security or payment from the Current Issuer and from the
     security subsequently as if such settlement, discharge or release had not
     occurred.

12.5 Retention of Charges: If the Note Trustee shall have reasonable grounds
     for believing that the Current 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
     Current Issuer shall be prima facie evidence of the solvency of the
     Current Issuer) as at the date of any payment made by the Current Issuer
     to the Note Trustee and that as a result, such payment may be capable of
     being avoided or clawed back, the Note Trustee shall be at liberty to
     retain the charges contained in or created pursuant to this Current
     Issuer Deed of Charge 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 Current Issuer Secured Obligations notwithstanding any
     release, settlement, discharge or arrangement which may be given or made
     by the Note 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 Current
     Issuer, or if the Current Issuer shall commence to be wound up or to go
     into administration or any analogous proceedings shall be commenced by or
     against the Current Issuer, as the case may be, the Note Trustee shall be
     at liberty to continue to retain such security for such further period as
     the Note Trustee may determine and such security shall be deemed to
     continue to have been held as security for the payment and discharge to
     the Note Trustee of all Current Issuer Secured Obligations.

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

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

13.  Protection of Third Parties

13.1 No Enquiry: No purchaser from, or other person dealing with, the Note
     Trustee or a Receiver shall be concerned to enquire whether any of the
     powers exercised or purported to be exercised under this Current Issuer
     Deed of Charge has arisen or become exercisable, whether the Current
     Issuer Secured Obligations remain outstanding or have become payable,
     whether the Note Trustee or the Receiver is authorised to act or as to
     the propriety or validity of the exercise or purported exercise of any
     power; and the title and the position of such a

                                      26
<PAGE>

     purchaser or other person shall not be impeachable by reference to any of
     those matters and all the protection to purchasers contained in Sections
     104 and 107 of the 1925 Act shall apply to any person purchasing from or
     dealing with the Note Trustee or any such Receiver.

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

14.  Set-Off

     The Note Trustee may at any time after the security created under this
     Current Issuer Deed of Charge has become enforceable in accordance with
     Clause 7.2 (Enforceable) without notice and notwithstanding any
     settlement of account or other matter whatsoever combine or consolidate
     all or any existing accounts of the Current Issuer whether in its own
     name or jointly with others and held by it or any Current 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 Current Issuer from the Note Trustee or
     relevant Current Issuer Secured Creditor and whether or not the credit
     balance and the account in debit or the Current Issuer Secured
     Obligations are expressed in the same currency in which case the Note
     Trustee is hereby authorised to effect any necessary conversions at its
     prevailing rates of exchange) in or towards satisfaction of any of the
     Current Issuer Secured Obligations (and on or at any time after the
     security created under this Current Issuer Deed of Charge has become
     enforceable in accordance with Clause 7.2 (Enforceable) the Security
     Trustee may make such application notwithstanding any specified maturity
     of any deposits), but subject always to the Current Issuer Priority of
     Payments, and may in its absolute discretion estimate the amount of any
     liability of the Current Issuer which is contingent or unascertained and
     thereafter set-off such estimated amount and no amount shall be payable
     by the Note Trustee to the Current Issuer unless and until all the
     Current Issuer Secured Obligations have been ascertained and fully repaid
     or discharged.

     Resolution or by a request in writing of the relevant Noteholders in
     accordance with the Conditions (but so that no such direction or request
     shall affect any waiver, authorisation or determination previously given
     or made). Any such waiver, authorisation or determination:

          accordance with the Conditions and to the other Current Issuer
          Secured Creditors as soon as practicable thereafter.

              day count fraction described in Condition 4(A) and rounding the
              resultant figure to the nearest cent, amounts equal to or above
              half a cent being rounded upwards and amounts below half a cent

              the relevant class of Notes on such date equal to the proportion
              that the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Note bears
              to the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant
              class of Notes rounding the resulting figure to the nearest
              cent, amounts equal to or above half a cent being rounded
              upwards and amounts below half a cent being rounded downwards
              (in respect of the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes) and the

6.    ENFORCEMENT

6.1   PROCEEDINGS: At any time after the occurrence of a Note Event of Default,
      the  Note  Trustee may, at its discretion  and  without  notice  (and  in
      compliance with  Section  317(a)  of  the  Trust  Indenture Act), recover
      judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express  trust  against the
      Current Issuer for the whole amount of principal and

                                       15

<PAGE>

      interest  remaining unpaid; institute such proceedings and/or take  other
      action against  or  in relation to the Current Issuer or any other person
      as it may think fit to  enforce  the  obligations  of  the Current Issuer
      under these presents, the Current Issuer Notes and/or any  of  the  other
      Current  Issuer  Transaction  Documents but it shall not be bound to take
      such  action  save as provided in  Clause  7  (Proceedings,  Actions  and
      Indemnification).

6.2   EXERCISE OF POWERS:  The  Note  Trustee  shall be entitled to enforce the
      obligations  of  the  Current  Issuer  under  the  Current  Issuer  Notes
      (including  the  Current  Issuer Conditions) and to  exercise  any  other
      rights, powers, authorities  and  discretions  conferred  upon  the  Note
      Trustee in the Current Issuer Conditions as scheduled to this Trust Deed,
      which shall be read and construed as one document with the Current Issuer
      Notes.

6.3   EVIDENCE OF DEFAULT: Unless the contrary be proved, proof that as regards
      any specified Current Issuer Note the Current Issuer has made default  in
      paying  any  amount  due  in respect of such Current Issuer Note shall be
      sufficient evidence that the  Current Issuer has made the like default as
      regards  all  other  Current  Issuer   Notes  in  respect  of  which  the
      corresponding  amount  is then due and payable  in  accordance  with  the
      Current Issuer Conditions  and  for  the  purposes  of  this  Clause  6.3
      (Evidence   of  Default)  an  amount  shall  be  a  corresponding  amount
      notwithstanding  that  it is due in respect of a Current Issuer Note of a
      different denomination from  that  in  respect  of  the  above  specified
      Current Issuer Note.  The Note Trustee may file such proofs of claim  and
      other  papers  or  documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
      have the claims of the  Note  Trustee  and the Noteholders allowed in any
      judicial proceedings relative to the Current Issuer, its creditors or its

7.    PROCEEDINGS, ACTIONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

             the Senior  Noteholders or the Mezzanine Noteholders or the Junior
             Noteholders as appropriate; or

      (b)    it shall have  been  so  requested in writing by the holders of at

             by the holders of at least one quarter of the  aggregate Principal
             Amount Outstanding of the Junior Notes; and

      (c)    in  either case it shall have been indemnified and/or  secured  to
             its satisfaction  against  all  liabilities,  proceedings, claims,
             demands,  costs,  charges  and  expenses to which it  may  thereby
             become  liable  or  which  may be incurred  by  it  in  connection
             therewith,

      provided that:

                                       16

<PAGE>

             (i)   the  Note  Trustee  shall   not   be  held  liable  for  the
                   consequence  of taking any such action  and  may  take  such
                   action without having regard to the effect of such action on
                   individual Noteholders  or  any other Current Issuer Secured
                   Creditor; and

             (ii)  save  to  the extent provided otherwise  under  the  Current
                   Issuer Conditions,  the Note Trustee shall not and shall not
                   be  obliged  to act at  the  direction  or  request  of  the
                   Mezzanine Noteholders  as  aforesaid  unless at such time no
                   Senior Notes are then outstanding; and

             (iii) save  to  the  extent provided otherwise under  the  Current
                   Issuer Conditions,  the Note Trustee shall not and shall not
                   be obliged to act at  the direction or request of the Junior

                   Senior Notes and no Mezzanine Notes then outstanding.

7.2   ONLY  NOTE  TRUSTEE  TO ENFORCE: Only the Note Trustee  may  enforce  the
      provisions  of these presents,  the  Current  Issuer  Conditions  or  the
      Current Issuer  Notes.   No  Noteholder  or  other Current Issuer Secured
      Creditor shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Current Issuer
      or any other party to any of the Transaction Documents  unless  the  Note
      Trustee  having  become  bound  as aforesaid to institute proceedings has
      failed to do so within 30 days of  becoming  so bound and such failure is
      continuing;  provided  that save to the extent provided  in  the  Current
      Issuer Conditions, no Junior Noteholder and no Mezzanine Noteholder shall
      be entitled to take proceedings  for  the winding up or administration of
      the Current Issuer unless there are no  outstanding  Current Issuer Notes
      of a class with higher priority, or if Current Issuer  Notes  of  a class
      with higher priority are outstanding, there is consent of Noteholders  of
      not  less  than  25  per  cent.  of the aggregate principal amount of the
      Current Issuer Notes outstanding of  the  class  or  classes  of  Current
      Issuer  Notes  with  higher  priority.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and
      notwithstanding any other provision  of  these  presents, consistent with
      Section 316 of the Trust Indenture Act, the right  of  each Noteholder to
      receive principal and/or interest on its Current Issuer Notes on or after
      the due date for payment of such principal or interest in accordance with
      the Current Issuer Conditions or to institute suit for the enforcement of
      the  payment  of  that principal and/or interest may not be  impaired  or
      affected without the  consent  of  the  such Noteholder.  Notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary any action  to  be  taken  under  Section
      316(a) of the Trust Indenture Act shall comply with Section 316(c) of the
      Trust Indenture Act and the record date for the purpose of Section 316(c)
      shall  be  such  date  as the Current Issuer shall notify to the relevant
      Noteholders in accordance with the Current Issuer Conditions.

      be  responsible (save where any loss  results  from  the  Note  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.

             outside  the  scope of the normal duties of the Note Trustee under
             these presents, or upon such additional remuneration;

      such matters shall be  determined  by  an  investment  bank (acting as an

      approved by the Current Issuer or, failing such approval,  nominated  (on
      the  application of the Note Trustee) by the President for the time being
      of The  Law  Society  of England and Wales (the expenses involved in such
      nomination and the fees  of  such  investment  bank  being payable by the

      (i)    The Note Trustee  shall  have  no responsibility whatsoever to any
             Current Issuer Secured Creditor  as  regards  any deficiency which

             bound to supervise the proceedings or acts of any such person.

      (o)    The  Note Trustee shall (save as expressly otherwise  provided  in
             these   presents  or  in  any  other  Current  Issuer  Transaction
             Document)   as   regards   all  rights,  powers,  authorities  and
             discretions vested in it by  these  presents  or any other Current
             Issuer Transaction Document, or by operation of law, have absolute
             and  uncontrolled  discretion as to the exercise  or  non-exercise
             thereof and whenever  the  Note  Trustee  is  bound  to act at the
             request or direction of the Noteholders or any class of  them, the
             Note  Trustee  shall  nevertheless  not  be  so bound unless first
             indemnified to its satisfaction against all actions,  proceedings,
             claims  and demands to which it may render itself liable  and  all
             costs, expenses,  damages and liabilities which it may incur by so
             doing.

      (p)    The Note Trustee as  between  itself  and  the  Noteholders or any
             class of them shall have full power to determine all questions and
             doubts  arising  in  relation  to any of the provisions  of  these
             presents and/or any other Current  Issuer Transaction Document and
             every such determination, whether made  upon  a  question actually
             raised or implied in the acts or proceedings of the  Note Trustee,
             shall   be  conclusive  and  shall  bind  the  Note  Trustee,  the
             Noteholders and the other Current Issuer Secured Creditors.

      (q)    In connection  with  the  exercise  by  it  of  any of its trusts,
             powers,   authorities   and   discretions   under  these  presents
             (including without limitation any power to authorise any amendment
             or  to  waive  any breach or to make any determination)  the  Note
             Trustee shall always  have regard to all the Noteholders, provided
             that:

             (i)   without prejudice  to  the  provisions of sub-paragraph (ii)
                   below where it is required to  have  regard to the interests
                   of the Noteholders, it shall have regard to the interests of
                   the  Noteholders as a class and, in particular  but  without
                   prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, shall not have
                   regard  to, or be in any way liable for, the consequences of
                   any exercise thereof for any individual Noteholder resulting
                   from  their   being   domiciled  or  resident  or  otherwise
                   connected  with  or subject  to  the  jurisdiction  of,  any
                   particular territory  or  any political sub-division thereof
                   and the Note Trustee shall  not  be entitled to require, nor
                   shall any Noteholder be entitled to  claim, from the Current
                   Issuer,   the   Note  Trustee  or  any  other   person   any
                   indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence
                   of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders;

             (ii)  except where expressly  provided otherwise in these presents
                   or any other Current Issuer  Transaction  Document, the Note
                   Trustee  shall  solely have regard to the interests  of  the
                   Noteholders provided  that (a) if in the opinion of the Note
                   Trustee there is a conflict  between  the  interests  of the
                   Senior Noteholders, on the one hand and the interests of the
                   Mezzanine  Noteholders and/or the Junior Noteholders on  the
                   other hand,  the  Note Trustee shall have regard only to the
                   interests of the Senior Noteholders or (b) if in the opinion
                   of the Note Trustee there is

                                       24

<PAGE>

                   a  conflict  between   the   interests   of   the  Mezzanine
                   Noteholders on the one hand and the interests of  the Junior
                   Noteholders  on the other hand, the Note Trustee shall  have
                   regard only to  the  interests of the Mezzanine Noteholders;
                   but so that this proviso  shall  not  apply  in  the case of
                   powers, authorities or discretions in relation to  which  it
                   is  expressly  stated that they may be exercised by the Note
                   Trustee only if  in  its  opinion  the  interests of all the
                   Noteholders would not be materially prejudiced thereby; and

             (iii) it shall not have regard to, or be in any  way  liable  for,
                   the  consequences  of  any  exercise  thereof  for any other
                   Current Issuer Secured Creditor or any other person.

      (r)    The  Note  Trustee may determine whether or not a default  in  the
             performance  by  the  Current  Issuer  of any obligation under the
             provisions  of this Deed or any other Current  Issuer  Transaction
             Document or a  default  in  the  performance  by  Funding  of  any
             obligation under the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement is
             capable   of   remedy   and/or  whether  the  same  is  materially
             prejudicial to the interests  of  the  Noteholders or any class or
             classes of them and if the Note Trustee  shall  certify  that  any
             such  default  is,  in  its  opinion, not capable of remedy and/or
             materially prejudicial to the  interests of the Noteholders or any
             class or classes of them, such certificate shall be conclusive and
             binding upon the Current Issuer,  the  Noteholders  and  the other
             Current Issuer Secured Creditors.

      (s)    The  Note  Trustee  may,  in  the  conduct  of its trust business,
             instead  of  acting personally, employ and pay  an  agent  on  any
             terms, whether  or  not  a lawyer or other professional person, to
             transact or conduct, or concur  in  transacting or conducting, any
             business and to do or concur in doing all acts required to be done
             by the Note Trustee (including the receipt and payment of monies).

      (t)    In  relation to any asset held by the  Note  Trustee  under  these
             presents,  the  Note  Trustee may appoint any person to act as its
             nominee on any terms.

      (u)    Any trustee of these presents  being  a lawyer, accountant, broker
             or other person engaged in any profession  or  business  shall  be
             entitled  to  charge  and be paid all usual professional and other
             charges for business transacted  and  acts done by him or his firm
             in connection with the trusts of this Deed  and the Current Issuer
             Transaction  Documents  and  also  his  charges  in   addition  to
             disbursements  for all other work and business done and  all  time
             spent by him or  his  firm  in  connection with matters arising in
             connection  with  this  Deed and the  Current  Issuer  Transaction
             Documents, including matters  which  might  or  should  have  been
             attended  to  in  person  by a trustee not being a banker, lawyer,
             broker or other professional person.

      (v)    The Note Trustee may, in the  execution  of  all  or  any  of  the
             trusts,  powers, authorities and discretions vested in it by these
             presents or any of the other Current Issuer Transaction Documents,
             act by responsible  officers or a responsible officer for the time
             being of the Note Trustee.  The Note Trustee may also, whenever it
             thinks expedient in the  interests  of the Noteholders, whether by
             power of attorney or otherwise, delegate to any person or persons

                                       25

             discretions vested in it by these presents or  any  of  the  other
             Current Issuer Transaction Documents.  Any such delegation may  be
             made upon such terms and subject to such Current Issuer Conditions
             and  subject to such regulations (including power to sub-delegate)
             as the  Note  Trustee  may  think  fit  in  the  interests  of the
             Noteholders.   The  Note  Trustee  shall give prompt notice to the
             Current 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 Current Issuer.

      (w)    If  the Note Trustee exercises reasonable care  in  selecting  any
             custodian,  agent, delegate, nominee or any other person appointed
             under this Clause  10.3 (Powers and Duties) (each, an "APPOINTEE")
             it will not have any  obligation to supervise such Appointee or be
             responsible for any loss,  liability, costs, claim, proceedings or
             expenses  incurred  by  reason  of  such  Appointee's  misconduct,
             omission or default or the  misconduct, omission or default of any
             substitute lawfully appointed by such Appointee.

      (x)    Where it is necessary or desirable  for  any purpose in connection
             with  these  presents  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 Note Trustee in its
             absolute discretion but having regard to current rates of exchange
             if available and the Note Trustee shall not be liable for any loss
             occasioned by the said conversion under this paragraph (x) and any
             rate  mentioned and date so specified  shall  be  binding  on  the
             Current Issuer Secured Creditors.

      (y)    Any consent  given  by  the Note Trustee for the purposes of these
             presents or any of the other  Current Issuer Transaction Documents

             as the Note Trustee thinks fit and may be given retrospectively.

      (z)    The Note Trustee shall not be liable  for  any  error  of judgment

             assigned  by  the  Note  Trustee to administer its corporate trust
             matters unless the Note Trustee  was negligent in ascertaining the
             pertinent facts.

      (aa)   The Note Trustee shall not (unless  required  by law or ordered to
             do  so  by  a  court  of  competent jurisdiction) be  required  to
             disclose to any Noteholder  or  any  other  person any information
             made available to the Note Trustee by the Current  Issuer  or  any

      (bb)   Notwithstanding  anything  else  in  these  presents,  the Current
             Issuer Notes or any other Current Issuer Transaction Document, the
             Note Trustee may refrain from doing anything which would  or might
             in  its opinion be contrary to any law of any jurisdiction or  any
             directive  or regulation of any governmental agency or which would
             or might otherwise  render  it  liable  to  any  person and may do
             anything  which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply  with  any
             such law, directive or regulation.

      (cc)   The Note Trustee  shall  not  be liable to any person by reason of
             having acted upon an Extraordinary  Resolution  in  writing or any
             Extraordinary Resolution or other resolution whether in writing or
             purporting to have been passed at any Meeting of all  or any class
             or  classes  in respect whereof minutes have been made and  signed
             even though subsequent  to  its  acting it may be found that there
             was some defect in the constitution  of the Meeting or the passing
             of the resolution or (in the case of an  Extraordinary  Resolution
             or  other  resolution  in  writing)  that not all Noteholders  had
             signed the Extraordinary Resolution or  other  resolution  or that
             for  any reason the resolution was not valid or binding upon  such
             Noteholders.

      (dd)   Without  prejudice  to  the  right  of the Note Trustee to require
             and/or accept any other evidence, the  Note  Trustee may accept as
             conclusive  evidence  of  any  fact or matter in relation  to  the
             Current Issuer or required to be  certified  by the Current Issuer
             under the Current Issuer Conditions, a certificate  signed  by two
             directors of the Current Issuer and the Note Trustee shall not  be
             bound  in  any  such  case  to  call  for  further  evidence or be
             responsible for any liability that may be occasioned  by it or any
             other person acting on such certificate.

      (ee)   The  Note  Trustee shall not be liable to any person by reason  of
             having  accepted   as  valid  or  not  having  rejected  any  Note
             Certificate purporting  to  be  such  and subsequently found to be
             forged or not authentic.

      (ff)   The Note Trustee shall not be liable to  the Current Issuer or any
             Noteholder by reason of having accepted as  valid  or  not  having
             rejected any entry on the Register later found to be forged or not
             authentic and can assume for all purposes in relation hereto  that
             any entry on the Register is correct.

      (gg)   The Note Trustee shall be entitled to assume, for the purposes  of
             exercising  any power, right, trust, authority, duty or discretion
             under or in relation to these presents or any of the other Current
             Issuer Transaction  Documents,  that  such  exercise  will  not be
             materially  prejudicial  to  the  interests of any class of Senior
             Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies  has confirmed that the
             then  current  rating  by  it  of the Senior Notes  would  not  be
             adversely affected by such exercise,  that  such exercise will not
             be  materially  prejudicial  to  the  interests of  any  class  of
             Mezzanine Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed
             that the then current rating by it of the  Mezzanine  Notes  would
             not  be adversely affected by such exercise and that such exercise
             will not  be  materially prejudicial to the interests of any class
             of Junior Noteholders if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed
             that the then current rating by it of the Junior Notes will not be
             adversely affected by such exercise.

             Transaction Documents.

      (pp)   In the absence of knowledge or express notice to the contrary, the
             Note Trustee may assume without  enquiry  (other than requesting a
             certificate of the Current Issuer) that no  Current  Issuer  Notes
             are  for  the time being held by or for the benefit of the Current
             Issuer.

      (qq)   The Note Trustee may, without the consent of the Current Issuer or

             Issuer Charged Property  or  the  Funding  Charged Property or any
             deeds or documents of title or other evidence  in  respect  of the
             Current Issuer Charged Property or the Funding Charged Property or
             to  require  any  other  person  to maintain any such insurance or
             monitor  the  adequacy  of any such insurance  and  shall  not  be
             responsible for any liability  which may be suffered by any person
             as a result of the lack of or inadequacy of any such insurance.

      (ss)   The Note Trustee shall have no liability  whatsoever for any loss,
             cost,  damages  or  expenses  directly or indirectly  suffered  or
             incurred by a person as a result  of  the  delivery  by  the  Note
             Trustee to the Current Issuer or to any other party to the Current
             Issuer  Transaction  Documents  of  a  certificate  as to material
             prejudice pursuant to the Current Issuer Conditions or any Current
             Issuer Transaction Documents on the basis of an opinion  formed by

             available  to it sufficient cash in the Current Issuer Transaction
             Account and/or  in  Authorised Investments which will mature on or
             before the relevant Payment  Date  or  (ii) the Current Issuer has
             entered into a legally binding contract  with  an  entity  (a) the

             then  current  rating  of  the  Current Issuer Notes by the Rating
             Agencies or (b) any of whose short  term  unsecured  debt is rated
             A-1  by  S&P and P-1 by Moody's to provide sufficient cash  on  or

      provisions of these  presents  conferring on the Note Trustee any powers,
      authorities or discretions, relieve  the  Note  Trustee from or indemnify

      to the interests of the Noteholders.

11.2  WAIVER:  Subject as  expressly  provided  otherwise in the Current Issuer
      Notes  or  in  any other Current Issuer Transaction  Document,  the  Note
      Trustee may from  time  to  time  and  at any time without the consent or
      sanction  of the relevant class or classes  of  Noteholders  and  without
      prejudice to  its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, but only if
      and in so far as  in  its  opinion the interests of the relevant class or
      classes of Noteholders shall  not be materially prejudiced thereby, waive
      or authorise any breach or proposed  breach  by the Current Issuer or any
      other party thereto of any of the covenants or  provisions  contained  in
      these  presents  or  in  any  of  the  other  Current  Issuer Transaction
      Documents  or  determine  that  any  Note Event of Default shall  not  be
      treated as such for the purposes of these presents and the Current Issuer
      Notes provided always that the Note Trustee shall not exercise any powers
      conferred on it by this Clause in contravention  of any express direction
      given by an Extraordinary Resolution, or of a request  in writing made by
      the  holders of not less than 25 per cent. in aggregate principal  amount
      of the  relevant  class  of  Current  Issuer  Notes  then outstanding, in
      accordance  with  the  Current  Issuer Conditions (but so  that  no  such
      direction  or  request  shall  affect   any   waiver,   authorisation  or
      determination  previously given or made). Any such waiver,  authorisation
      or determination  may  be given or made on such terms and subject to such
      conditions (if any) as the  Note  Trustee may determine, shall be binding
      on  the Noteholders and, if, but only  if,  the  Note  Trustee  shall  so
      require,  shall  be  notified by the Current Issuer to the Noteholders in
      accordance with the Current  Issuer  Conditions  as  soon  as practicable
      thereafter. The provisions of this Clause 11.2 (Waivers) shall be in lieu
      of   Section   316(a)(1)(B)  of  the  Trust  Indenture  Act  and  Section
      316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from
      these presents and  the  Current  Issuer Notes, as permitted by the Trust
      Indenture Act.

11.3  MATERIAL  PREJUDICE:  For the avoidance  of  doubt  (in  the  context  of
      deciding material prejudice  in  respect  of Clauses 11.1 (Modifications)
      and 11.2 (Waiver)), if the Note Trustee considers  in  its  sole  opinion
      that the Noteholders of the same class of any or all series to which  the
      modification or waiver relates are materially prejudiced by such waivers,
      the Note Trustee will not be able to sanction such modification or waiver
      itself,  and  will  instead  require  an  Extraordinary Resolution of the
      Noteholders of the Current Issuer Notes of  such  class outstanding to be
      passed by means of a Meeting.

                                       32

<PAGE>

      In  accordance  with  the  general  provision   contained   herein,   such
      Extraordinary  Resolution  must also be ratified by the Noteholders of the
      Current  Issuer  Notes of the  higher  class or  classes  in order for the
      Extraordinary  Resolution  which  seeks  approval of the  modification  or
      waiver to be valid and effective.

12.   ENTITLEMENT TO TREAT HOLDER AS OWNER

      The Current Issuer, the Note Trustee and any Paying  Agent  may  (to  the
      fullest extent permitted by applicable laws) deem and treat the holder of
      any  Note Certificate as the absolute owner of such Note Certificate, for
      all purposes (whether or not such Current Issuer Note represented by such
      Note Certificate  shall  be  overdue  and notwithstanding any notation of
      ownership or other writing thereon or any notice of loss or theft of such
      Note  Certificate),  and,  except as ordered  by  a  court  of  competent
      jurisdiction or as required  by  applicable  law, the Current Issuer, the
      Note Trustee and the Paying Agents shall not be affected by any notice to
      the contrary. All payments made to any such holder shall be valid and, to
      the extent of the sums so paid, effective to satisfy  and  discharge  the
      liability for the monies payable in respect of such Current Issuer Note.

13.   CURRENCY INDEMNITY

13.1  CURRENCY  AND  INDEMNITY:  The  sole currency of account and payment (the
      "CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY") for all sums  payable by the Current Issuer under
      or in connection with these presents, the  Current  Issuer  Notes and the
      other  Current  Issuer  Secured Obligations including damages is  (a)  in
      relation to any class of Current Issuer Notes, the currency in which such
      class of Current Issuer Notes  is  denominated  and  (b)  in  relation to
      Clauses 9.1 (Normal Remuneration), 9.2 (Extra Remuneration), 9.3 (Failure
      to Agree), 9.4 (Expenses), 9.5 (Indemnity), 9.7 (VAT) and 9.8 (Interest),
      pounds  sterling.   An  amount received or recovered in a currency  other
      than  the Contractual Currency  (whether  as  a  result  of,  or  of  the
      enforcement  of,  a  judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in
      the winding-up or dissolution of the Current Issuer or otherwise), by the
      Note Trustee or any Noteholder  or other Current Issuer Secured Creditors
      in respect of any sum expressed to  be  due to it from the Current Issuer
      will only discharge the Current Issuer to  the  extent of the Contractual
      Currency amount which the recipient is able to purchase  with  the amount
      so  received  or  recovered  in  that  other currency on the date of that
      receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable  to  make that purchase
      on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable  to do so). If
      the  Contractual  Currency  amount is less than the Contractual  Currency
      amount expressed to be due to  the  recipient under these presents or the
      Current Issuer Notes, or the other Current  Issuer  Transaction Documents
      the  Current  Issuer  will  indemnify  the  recipient  against  any  loss
      sustained  by  it  as  a result.  In any event, the Current  Issuer  will
      indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase.

13.2  INDEMNITIES  SEPARATE:  The  indemnities  in  these  presents  constitute
      separate and independent  obligations from the other obligations in these
      presents and the other Current  Issuer  Transaction  Documents, will give
      rise   to   separate  and  independent  causes  of  action,  will   apply
      irrespective  of  any  indulgence  granted by the Note Trustee and/or any
      Noteholder or other Current Issuer Secured  Creditor and will continue in
      full force and effect despite any judgment, order,  claim  or proof for a
      liquidated  amount  in  respect of any sum due under these presents,  the
      Current Issuer

                                       33

<PAGE>

      Notes,  any other Current  Issuer  Transaction  Documents  or  any  other
      judgment or order.  Any such loss as referred to in Clause 13.1 (Currency
      and Indemnity)  shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Note
      Trustee, the Noteholders or the relevant Current Issuer Secured Creditors
      and no proof or evidence  of  any  actual  loss  shall be required by the
      Current Issuer or its liquidator or liquidators.

14.   APPOINTMENT, REMOVAL AND RETIREMENT OF NOTE TRUSTEE

14.1  POWER OF CURRENT ISSUER:  Subject to the provisions  of  this  Clause  14
      (Appointment,  Removal  and  Retirement  of  Note  Trustee), the power of
      appointing a new Note Trustee in place of an existing  Note Trustee shall
      be vested in the Current Issuer but such appointment or  removal  must be
      approved  by (save to the extent otherwise provided in the Current Issuer
      Conditions)  an  Extraordinary  Resolution of the Senior Noteholders, the
      Mezzanine  Noteholders  and the Junior  Noteholders  of  the  Notes  then
      outstanding.  A trust corporation  may  be  appointed sole trustee hereof
      but subject thereto there shall be at least two  trustees  hereof, one at
      least of which shall be a trust corporation.  Any appointment  of  a  new
      Note  Trustee and any retirement of an existing Note Trustee hereof shall
      as soon  as  practicable  thereafter be notified by the Current Issuer to
      the Noteholders.  Any new Note Trustee must meet the requirements set out
      in  Clause  14.2  (Eligibility  and  Disqualification)  and  Clause  14.6
      (Retirement or Removal Not Effective).

14.2  ELIGIBILITY AND DISQUALIFICATION:  This  Deed  shall  always  have a Note
      Trustee  which  shall  be  eligible  to  act  as Note Trustee under Trust
      Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2).   The  Note Trustee shall
      have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000  as set forth
      in  its  most  recent published annual report of condition.  If the  Note
      Trustee  has or shall  acquire  any  "CONFLICTING  INTEREST"  within  the
      meaning of  Trust  Indenture Act Section 310(b), the Note Trustee and the
      Current Issuer shall  comply  with  the provisions of Trust Indenture Act
      Section 310(b); provided, however, that  there shall be excluded from the
      operation  of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b)(1)  any  deed  or  deeds
      under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation
      in  other securities  of  the  Current  Issuer  are  outstanding  if  the
      requirements  for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act Section
      310(b)(1) are met.   If  at  any  time the Note Trustee shall cease to be
      eligible  in  accordance  with  the  provisions   of   this  Clause  14.2
      (Eligibility  and  Disqualification),  the  Note  Trustee  shall   resign
      promptly  in  the  manner  and  with  the effect specified in Clause 14.5
      (Retirement or Removal of Note Trustee).

14.3  POWERS  OF NOTE TRUSTEE TO APPOINT:  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of
      Clause 14.1  (Power of Current Issuer), the Note Trustee may (as attorney
      for the Current  Issuer)  upon  giving prior notice to the Current Issuer
      but without the consent of the Current  Issuer or the Noteholders appoint
      any person established or resident in any  jurisdiction  (whether a trust
      corporation  or  not)  to act either as a separate trustee or  as  a  co-
      trustee jointly with the Note Trustee:

      (a)    if the Note Trustee  considers  such  appointment  to  be  in  the
             interests of the Noteholders; or

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

                                       34

<PAGE>

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

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

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

14.5  RETIREMENT OR REMOVAL  OF  NOTE  TRUSTEE:   Subject as provided in Clause
      14.6 (Retirement or Removal not Effective), any Note Trustee for the time
      being of this Deed may retire at any time upon giving not less than three
      months' prior notice in writing to the Current  Issuer  without assigning
      any reason therefor and without being responsible for any costs resulting
      from such retirement. The Noteholders may by Extraordinary  Resolution of
      each  class  of Noteholders remove any trustee or trustees for  the  time
      being of these presents

14.6  RETIREMENT OR  REMOVAL  NOT  EFFECTIVE:  The retirement or removal of any
      Note Trustee shall not become effective unless (i) there remains at least
      one  trustee  hereof  being  a  trust corporation  in  office  upon  such
      retirement or removal and (ii) while  the  Bank  of New York remains Note
      Trustee, the Bank of New York, in its capacity as  Security Trustee shall
      also  retire or be removed simultaneously. The Current  Issuer  covenants
      that, in  the  event of a trustee (being a sole trustee or the only trust
      corporation) giving notice or being removed under Clause 14.5 (Retirement
      or Removal of Note Trustee) it shall use its best endeavours to procure a
      new Note Trustee  of  these  presents  (being  a trust corporation) to be
      appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (for the avoidance
      of doubt, on the same terms as these presents).   If  within  30  days of
      having  given  notice of its intention to retire, the Current Issuer  has
      failed to appoint  a  replacement Note Trustee, the outgoing Note Trustee
      will  be entitled to appoint  its  successor  provided  that  the  Rating
      Agencies  confirm  that  the  then  current ratings of the Current Issuer
      Notes shall not be either downgraded  or  reviewed  as  a  result of such
      appointment.

15.   TRUST INDENTURE ACT PREVAILS

      If  any  provision of these presents limits, qualifies or conflicts  with
      another provision  which is required to be included in these presents by,
      and is not subject to  a  contractual  waiver  under, the Trust Indenture
      Act, the required provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
      be incorporated into these presents and shall prevail.

16.   CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS

16.1  EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE AS TO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT:   Upon  any request or
      application by the Current Issuer to the Note Trustee to take  any action
      under this Trust Deed or these presents, the Current Issuer shall furnish
      to  the  Note  Trustee  in  accordance  with  Section 314(c) of the Trust
      Indenture Act:

      (a)    an Officers' Certificate (which shall include  the  statements set
             forth  in  Clause  16.2  (Statements Required in Certificates  and
             Opinions) below stating that,  in  the opinion of the signers, all
             conditions  precedent,  if any, provided  for  in  these  presents
             relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

      (b)    an Opinion of Counsel (which  shall  include  the  statements  set
             forth  in  Clause  16.2  (Statements  Required in Certificates and
             Opinions) below) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all
             such conditions precedent, if any, provided  for in these presents
             relating to the proposed action have been complied with.

16.2  STATEMENTS REQUIRED IN CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS:  Each  certificate  and
      opinion  with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
      for in these  presents  or  these  presents,  in  accordance with Section
      314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall include:

      (a)    a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has
             read  such  covenant  or  condition  and the definitions  relating
             thereto;

      (b)    a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
             investigation upon which the statements  or  opinions contained in
             such certificate or opinion are based;

      (c)    a statement that, in the opinion of such person, it or he has made
             such examination or investigation as is necessary  to  enable such
             person  to  express an informed opinion as to whether or not  such
             covenant or condition has been complied with; and

      (d)    a statement as  to  whether or not, in the opinion of such person,
             such covenant or condition has been complied with.

17.   RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

17.1  LIMITATION ON RELEASE: Except  to  the  extent expressly provided in this
      Clause 17 (Release of Collateral), the Note  Trustee  shall  release  the
      property  from  the  security  constituted  by the Current Issuer Deed of
      Charge only upon receipt of a request from the Current Issuer accompanied
      by an Officers' Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel  and  certificates  of
      independent  parties  in  accordance  with  Trust  Indenture Act Sections
      314(c) and 314(d)(1) ("INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATES") or an Opinion of

                                       36

<PAGE>

      Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to  the  effect that the
      Trust Indenture Act does not require any such Independent Certificates.

17.2  FAIR  VALUE:  Prior to the release of any property or securities  subject
      to the  lien  of  the  Current  Issuer Deed of Charge, the Current Issuer
      shall, in addition to any obligation  imposed  in this Clause 17 (Release
      of  Collateral)  or  elsewhere  in these presents, furnish  to  the  Note
      Trustee an Officers' Certificate  certifying  or  stating  the opinion of
      each person signing such certificate as to the fair value to  the Current
      Issuer of the property or securities 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. Whenever the Current Issuer is  required  to furnish to the Note
      Trustee an Officers' Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any
      signer  thereof  as  to the matters described in this Clause  17.2  (Fair
      Value), the Current Issuer  shall  also  deliver  to  the Note Trustee an
      Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the  fair value to the
      Current  Issuer of the property to be so released and of all  other  such
      property made the basis of any such release since the commencement of the
      then current  fiscal  year  of  the  Current  Issuer, as set forth in the
      certificates   delivered  pursuant  to  this  Clause   17   (Release   of
      Collateral), is  10%  or  more of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the
      Current Issuer Notes, but such  a  certificate need not be furnished with
      respect to any property so released  if  the  fair  value  thereof to the
      Current Issuer as set forth in the related Officers' Certificate  is less
      than  $25,000  (or  its  equivalent)  or  less  than one per cent. of the
      Principal Amount Outstanding of the Current Issuer Notes.

17.3  NO IMPAIRMENT: Whenever any property is to be released  from the security
      constituted  by  the  Current  Issuer Deed of Charge, the Current  Issuer
      shall  also  furnish  to  the  Note  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 the Current Issuer Deed of Charge in contravention  of
      the provisions hereof.

17.4  PAYMENTS  UNDER  CURRENT  ISSUER  TRANSACTION  DOCUMENTS: Notwithstanding
      anything  to the contrary contained herein, the Current  Issuer  may  (a)
      make cash payments  out  of  the Current Issuer Bank Accounts relating to
      the Current Issuer Notes as and  to  the  extent permitted or required by
      the  Current Issuer Transaction Documents (b)  act  in  relation  to  the
      Current  Issuer  Charged  Property  as permitted under the Current Issuer
      Deed of Charge and (c) take any other  action  not  inconsistent with the
      Trust Indenture Act.

18.   RIGHTS CUMULATIVE

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

Issuer Trust Deed. Investors should note that the issuer is referred to in the
Conditions as the "Current Issuer" and references to those documents to which
the issuer is a party are generally preceded with the words "Current Issuer".
A glossary of definitions appears in Condition 17 of these Conditions.

     The Notes of the Current Issuer are constituted by the Current Issuer
Trust Deed. The security for the Notes is created pursuant to, and on the

Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement, provision is made for, inter alia, the
payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes.

     The statements in these Conditions include summaries of, and are subject
to, the detailed provisions of the Current Issuer Trust Deed, the Current
Issuer Deed of Charge and the Current Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank
Agreement. The Notes are also the subject of the Current Issuer Dollar
Currency Swap Agreements, the Current Issuer Euro Currency Swap Agreements and
the Current Issuer Basis Rate Swap Agreement.

Charge, the Current Issuer Master Definitions Schedule dated on or about the
Closing Date, the Current Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement and
each of the other Transaction Documents are available for inspection at the
head office for the time being of (i) the Principal Paying Agent, being at the
date hereof 5 Carmelite Street, London EC4Y OPA and (ii) the US Paying Agent,
being at the date hereof 14th Floor Zone 3, 111 Wall Street, New York, New
York 1 0043. The Noteholders are entitled to the benefit of, are bound by, and
are deemed to have notice of, all the provisions of, and definitions contained
or incorporated in, the Current Issuer Trust Deed, the Current Issuer Deed of
Charge, the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement, the Funding Deed of
Charge, the Current Issuer Cash Management Agreement, the Current Issuer
Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement, the Current Issuer Basis Rate Swap
Agreement, the Current Issuer Dollar Currency Swap Agreements and the Current
Issuer Euro Currency Swap Agreements.

     The issue of the Notes was authorised by a resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Current Issuer passed on or about 22 January 2003.

                                      93
<PAGE>

     Global Note Certificates will be exchanged for Individual Note
Certificates in definitive registered form only under certain limited
circumstances (as described in the relevant Global Note Certificate). If
Individual Note Certificates are issued, they will be serially numbered and
issued in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Principal Amount
Outstanding of the relevant Global Note Certificates and in registered form
only.

(B)  Register
     The Registrar will maintain the Register in respect of the Notes in
accordance with the provisions of the Current Issuer Paying Agent and Agent
Bank Agreement. In these Conditions, the "Holder" of a Note means the person
in whose name such Note is for the time being registered in the Register (or,
in the case of a joint holding, the first named thereof). A Note Certificate
will be issued to each Noteholder in respect of its registered holding. Each
Note Certificate will be numbered serially with an identifying number which
will be recorded in the Register.

(C)  Title
     The Holder of each Note shall (except as otherwise required by law) be
treated by the Current Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Agent Bank and any Agent
as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes (whether or not it is
overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any other interest
therein, any writing on the Note Certificate relating thereto (other than the
endorsed form of transfer) or any notice of any previous loss or theft of such
Note Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating such Holder.

(D)  Transfers
     Subject as provided otherwise in this Condition 1 (D), a Note may be
transferred upon surrender of the relevant Note Certificate, with the endorsed
form of transfer duly completed, at the Specified Office of the Registrar or
the Transfer Agent, together with such evidence as the Registrar or (as the
case may be) such Transfer Agent may reasonably require to prove the title of
the transferor and the authority of the individuals who have executed the form
of transfer; provided, however, that a Note may not be transferred unless the
principal amount of Notes transferred and (where not all of the Notes held by
a Holder are being transferred) the principal amount of the balance of Notes
not transferred are Authorised Holdings. Where not all the Notes represented
by the surrendered Note Certificate are the subject of the transfer, a new
Note Certificate in respect of the balance of the Notes will be issued to the
transferor.

     Within five Commercial Business Days of such surrender of a Note
Certificate, the Registrar will register the transfer in question and deliver
a new Note Certificate of a like principal amount to the Notes transferred to
each relevant Holder at its Specified Office or (as the case may be) the
Specified Office of the Transfer Agent or (at the request and risk of any such
relevant Holder) by uninsured first class mail (and by airmail if the Holder
is overseas) to the address specified for such purpose by such relevant
Holder. In this paragraph, "Commercial Business Day" means a day on which
commercial banks are open for business in the city where the Registrar or (as
the case may be) Transfer Agent has its Specified Office.

     The transfer of a Note will be effected without charge by or on behalf of
the Current Issuer, the Registrar or the Transfer Agent but against such
indemnity as the Registrar or (as the case may be) such Transfer Agent may
require in respect of any tax or other duty of whatsoever nature which may be
levied or imposed in connection with such transfer.

     Noteholders may not require transfers of Notes to be registered during
the period of 15 days ending on the due date for any payment of principal or
interest in respect of the Notes.

     All transfers of Notes and entries on the Register are subject to the
detailed regulations concerning the transfer of Notes scheduled to the Current
Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement. The regulations may be changed
by the Current Issuer with the prior written approval of the Note Trustee and
the Registrar. A copy of the current regulations will be mailed (free of
charge) by the Registrar to any Noteholder who requests in writing a copy of
such regulations.

2.   Status, Priority and Security
(A)  Status
     The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes are direct,
secured and unconditional obligations of the Current Issuer and are all
secured by the same security. Payments on each class of Notes will be made
equally amongst all Notes of that class.

(B)  Priority
(i)  Interest
     Among the Series 1 Notes, payments of interest on the Series 1 Class A
Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 1 Class B Notes
and the Series 1 Class C Notes, and payments of interest on the Series 1 Class
B Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 1 Class C
Notes.

     Among the Series 2 Notes, payments of interest on the Series 2 Class A
Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 2 Class B Notes
and the Series 2 Class C Notes, and payments of interest on the Series 2 Class
B Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 2 Class C
Notes.

     Among the Series 3 Notes, payments of interest on the Series 3 Class A
Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 3 Class B Notes
and the Series 3 Class C Notes and payments of interest on the Series 3 Class
B Notes will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Series 3 Class C
Notes.

     Among the Series 1 Notes, the Series 2 Notes and the Series 3 Notes,
payments of interest will be made on the Series 1 Class Al Notes, the Series 1
Class A2 Notes, the Series 1 Class A3 Notes, the Series 2 Class A Notes and
the Series 3 Class A Notes in no order of priority among them but in
proportion to the respective amounts due on the Class A Notes. These payments
of interest will be made ahead of payments of interest on the Class B Notes
and the Class C Notes of each series.

     Payments of interest will be made on the Series 1 Class B Notes, the
Series 2 Class B Notes and the Series 3 Class B Notes in no order of priority
among them but in proportion to the respective amounts due on the Class B
Notes. These payments of interest will be made ahead of payments of interest
on the Class C Notes of each series.

     Payments of interest will be made on the Series 1 Class C Notes, the
Series 2 Class C Notes and the Series 3 Class C Notes in no order of priority
among them but in proportion to the respective amounts due on the Class C
Notes.

(ii) Principal
     Subject to there being no Trigger Event and no enforcement of the Funding
Security and/or the Current Issuer Security, no class of Notes will be repaid
an amount of principal which is greater than the Controlled Amortisation
Amount in respect of that class of Notes for the relevant Payment Date and,
subject also to the satisfaction of certain conditions in relation to the
payment of principal on the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes at any time
when any Class A Notes are outstanding, payments of principal will be made in
accordance with the following priority.

     Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Series 1 Class Al Notes will be made ahead of repayment of principal in
respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the Series 1 Class A2 Notes,
the Series 1 Class A3 Notes, the Series 2 Class A Notes and the Series 3 Class
A Notes.

     Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Series 1 Class A2 Notes and the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the
Series 1 Class A3 Notes will be made in no order of priority between them but
in proportion to the respective Controlled Amortisation Amounts due on the
Series 1 Class A2 Notes and the Series 1 Class A3 Notes and

                                      95
<PAGE>

will be made ahead of repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled
Amortisation Amount on the Series 2 Class A Notes and the Series 3 Class A
Notes. Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Series 2 Class A Notes and the Series 3 Class A Notes will be made in
no order of priority between them but in proportion to the respective
Controlled Amortisation Amounts due on the Series 2 Class A Notes and the
Series 3 Class A Notes.

     Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Class A Notes will be made ahead of repayment of principal in respect
of the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the Class B Notes.

     Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Series 1 Class B Notes, the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the
Series 2 Class B Notes and the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the Series 3
Class B Notes will be made in no order of priority among them but in
proportion to the respective Controlled Amortisation Amounts due on the Class
B Notes. However, repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled
Amortisation Amount on the Class B Notes will be made ahead of repayment of
principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the Class C
Notes.

     Repayment of principal in respect of the Controlled Amortisation Amount
on the Series 1 Class C Notes, the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the
Series 2 Class C Notes and the Controlled Amortisation Amount on the Series 3
Class C Notes will be made in no order of priority among them but in
proportion to the respective Controlled Amortisation Amounts due on the Class
C Notes.

     The above priority of payments will change and the Current Issuer will
make repayments of principal in accordance with and subject to the Current
Issuer Priority of Payments as set out in the Current Issuer Cash Management
Agreement or, as the case may be, the Current Issuer Deed of Charge (1)
following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, and/or (2) following the
enforcement of the Funding Security and/or the enforcement of the Current
Issuer Security.

     If any Class A Notes are outstanding and the Issuer Arrears Test, the
Issuer Reserve Requirement and the Subordinated Principal Test (as specified
in the Current Issuer Cash Management Agreement) are not satisfied on the
relevant Payment Date, no amount of principal will be payable in respect of
the Class B Notes or the Class C Notes.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, the Controlled Amortisation
Amount payable in respect of each class of Notes is determined by a schedule
that indicates the target balance for that class of Notes on the relevant
Payment Date and not all classes of Notes are scheduled to receive payments of
principal on each Payment Date, with some lower ranking classes of Notes being
repaid principal before higher ranking classes of notes. The Controlled
Amortisation Amount payable on some classes of Notes will also be zero.

(C)  Conflict between the classes of Notes
     Each of the Current Issuer Trust Deed and the Current Issuer Deed of
Charge contains provisions requiring the Note Trustee to have regard to the
interests of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C
Noteholders equally as regards all powers, trusts, authorities, duties and
discretions of the Note Trustee (except where expressly provided otherwise),
but requiring the Note Trustee to have regard (a) (for so long as there are
any Class A Notes outstanding (as that term is defined in the Current Issuer
Trust Deed)) only to the interests of the Class A Noteholders if, in the Note
Trustee's opinion, there is or may be a conflict between the interests of the
Class A Noteholders and the interests of the Class B Noteholders and/or the
interests of the Class C Noteholders and (b) subject to (a) above, for so long
as there are any Class B Notes outstanding) only to the interests of the Class
B Noteholders if, in the Note Trustee's opinion, there is or may be a conflict
between the interests of the Class B Noteholders and the interests of the
Class C Noteholders. Except where expressly provided otherwise, so long as any
of the Notes remains outstanding, the Note Trustee is not required to

                                       96
<PAGE>

have regard to the interests of any persons (other than the class or classes
of Noteholders described above) entitled to the benefit of the Current Issuer
Security.

     The Current Issuer Trust Deed contains provisions limiting the powers of
the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders, inter alia, to request or
direct the Note Trustee to take any action or to pass an effective
Extraordinary Resolution according to the effect thereof on the interests of
the Class A Noteholders. Except in certain circumstances described in
Condition 11, the Current Issuer Trust Deed contains no such limitation on the
powers of the Class A Noteholders, the exercise of which will be binding on
the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders respectively, irrespective
of the effect thereof on their interests.

     Similarly, the Current Issuer Trust Deed contains provisions limiting the
powers of the Class C Noteholders, inter alia, to request or direct the Note
Trustee to take any action or to pass an effective Extraordinary Resolution
according to the effect thereof on the interests of the Class B Noteholders.
Except in certain circumstances described above and in Condition 11, the
Current Issuer Trust Deed contains no such limitation on the powers of the
Class B Noteholders, the exercise of which will be binding on the Class C
Noteholders, irrespective of the effect thereof on their interests.

     The Note Trustee shall be entitled to assume, for the purpose of
exercising any right, power, trust, authority, duty or discretion under or in
relation to these Conditions or any of the Transaction Documents, that such
exercise will not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the
Noteholders (or any series and/or class thereof) if the Rating Agencies have
confirmed that the then current ratings of the applicable series and/or class
or classes of Notes would not be adversely affected by such exercise.

     The Noteholders will share in the benefit of the security created by the
Current Issuer Deed of Charge, upon and subject to the terms thereof.

(D)  Security
     As security for, inter alia, the payment of all monies payable in respect
of the Notes, the Current Issuer has entered into the Current Issuer Deed of
Charge creating the Current Issuer Security in favour of the Note Trustee for
itself and on trust for the Current Issuer Secured Creditors including, inter
alia, the following:

     (i)    an assignment by way of first fixed security of the Current
            Issuer's rights and claims in respect of all security and other
            rights held on trust by the Security Trustee pursuant to the
            Funding Deed of Charge, save to the extent that any of the Current
            Issuer's rights and claims derive from property that is situated
            in Jersey, which will be assigned to the Note Trustee for the
            purpose of creating a Security Interest in accordance with Jersey
            law;

     (ii)   an assignment by way of first fixed security of the Current
            Issuer's rights, title, interest and benefit in and to the
            Transaction Documents to which the Current Issuer is a party,
            including:

            (a)  the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement;

            (b)  a deed of accession to the Funding Deed of Charge;

            (c)  the Current Issuer Basis Rate Swap Agreement;

            (d)  any Current Issuer Dollar Currency Swap Agreement in relation
                 to the Dollar Notes;

            (e)  any Current Issuer Euro Currency Swap Agreement in relation
                 to the Euro Notes;

                                      97
<PAGE>

            (f)  the Current Issuer Paying Agent and Agent Bank Agreement;

            (g)  the Current Issuer Underwriting Agreement and the Current
                 Issuer Subscription Agreement;

            (h)  the Current Issuer Corporate Services Agreement;

            (i)  the Current Issuer Bank Account Agreement;

            (j)  the Current Issuer Cash Management Agreement;

            (k)  the Current Issuer Trust Deed;

            (l)  any Swap Collateral Ancilliary Document; and

            (m)  such other documents as are expressed to be subject to the
                 charges under the Current Issuer Deed of Charge, in each
                 case, save to the extent that such rights, title, interest
                 and benefit derive from property that is situated in Jersey.
                 To the extent that the same are derived from property
                 situated in Jersey, the Current Issuer will assign such
                 rights, title, interest and benefit to the Note Trustee for
                 the purpose of creating a Security Interest in those rights,
                 title, interest and benefit in accordance with Jersey law;

     (iii)  an assignment by way of first fixed security over the Current
            Issuer's rights, title, interest and benefit, in and to the
            Current Issuer Transaction Accounts, any Swap Collateral Account
            and each other account (if any) of the Current Issuer and all
            amounts or securities standing to the credit of those accounts
            (including all interest or other income or distributions earned on
            such amounts or securities);

     (iv)   a first fixed charge (which may take effect as a floating charge)
            over the Current Issuer's rights, title, interest and benefit in
            and to all Authorised Investments made by or on behalf of the
            Current Issuer, including all monies and income payable
            thereunder; and

     (v)    a first ranking floating charge over the whole of the assets and
            undertaking of the Current Issuer which are not otherwise
            effectively subject to any fixed charge or assignment by way of
            security as described in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, all as
            more particularly set out in the Current Issuer Deed of Charge.

3.   Covenants
     Save with the prior written consent of the Note Trustee or unless
provided in or contemplated under these Conditions or any of the Transaction
Documents to which the Current Issuer is a party, the Current Issuer shall
not, so long as any Note remains outstanding:

(A)  Negative Pledge

benefit therein or thereto or agree or attempt or purport to do any of the
foregoing;

                                      98
<PAGE>

(C)  Equitable Interest

(D)  Bank Accounts
     have an interest in any bank account, other than a Current Issuer Bank

determined under United States income tax principles.

4.   Interest
(A)  Period of Accrual
     Each Note bears interest on its Principal Amount Outstanding from (and
including) the Closing Date. Each Note (or, in the case of redemption in part
only of a Note, that part only of such Note) shall cease to bear interest from
its due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation, payment of the
relevant amount of principal or any part thereof is improperly withheld or
refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue on such unpaid amount
(before as well as after any judgment) at the rate applicable to such Note up
to (but excluding) the date on which, on presentation of such Note, payment in
full of the relevant amount of principal is made, or (if earlier) the seventh
day after notice is duly given by the Principal Paying Agent or the US Paying
Agent, as the case may be, to the Holder thereof (either in accordance

                                      99
<PAGE>

with Condition 14 or individually) that upon presentation thereof being duly
made, such payment will be made, provided that upon presentation thereof being
duly made, payment is in fact made.

     Whenever it is necessary to compute an amount of interest in respect of
the Notes for any period (including any Interest Period), such interest shall
be calculated:

     (i)   in respect of the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes, on the basis of
           actual days elapsed in a 360-day year; and

     (ii)  in respect of the Sterling Notes, on the basis of actual days
           elapsed in a 365-day year (or, in the case of an Interest Period
           ending in a leap year, a 366-day year).

(B)  Interest Payment Dates and Interest Periods
     Interest on the Notes is payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date.

     The order of payments of interest to be made on the classes of Notes will
be prioritised so that interest payments due and payable on the Class C Notes
will be subordinated to interest payments due and payable on the Class B Notes
and the Class A Notes and interest payments due and payable on the Class B
Notes will be subordinated to interest payments due and payable on the Class A
Notes, in each case in accordance with the relevant Current Issuer Priority of
Payments.

     To the extent that the funds available to the Current Issuer, subject to
and in accordance with the relevant Current Issuer Priority of Payments, to
pay interest on the Class B Notes or the Class C Notes on an Interest Payment
Date (in each case, after discharging the Current Issuer's liabilities of a
higher priority) are insufficient to pay the full amount of such interest,
payment of the shortfall attributable to the Class B Notes or the Class C
Notes, as the case may be (in each case, "Deferred Interest"), which will be
borne by each Class B Note or Class C Note, as the case may be, in proportion
to the amount of interest due, subject to this Condition 4(B), on a Class B
Note or Class C Note, as the case may be, on such Interest Payment Date, will
not then fall due but will instead be deferred until the first Interest
Payment Date thereafter on which sufficient funds are available (after
allowing for the Current Issuer's liabilities of a higher priority and subject
to and in accordance with the relevant Current Issuer Priority of Payments) to
fund the payment of such Deferred Interest to the extent of such available
funds.

     Such Deferred Interest will accrue interest ("Additional Interest") at
the rate of interest applicable from time to time to the Class B Notes or the
Class C Notes, as the case may be, and payment of any Additional Interest will
also be deferred until the first Interest Payment Date thereafter on which
funds are available (after allowing for the Current Issuer's liabilities of a
higher priority subject to and in accordance with the relevant Current Issuer
Priority of Payments) to the Current Issuer to pay such Additional Interest to
the extent of such available funds.

     Amounts of Deferred Interest and Additional Interest shall not be
deferred beyond the Final Maturity Date of the Class B Notes or the Class C
Notes, as the case may be, when such amounts will become due and payable.

     It is possible that all or any part of any interest due on the Class B
Notes or the Class C Notes, as the case may be, may never be paid if there are
insufficient funds available (subject to and in accordance with the relevant
Current Issuer Priority of Payments) to fund the payment of such interest
after paying amounts of a higher priority.

     Payments of interest due on an Interest Payment Date in respect of the
Class A Notes will not be deferred. In the event of the delivery of a Class A
Note Enforcement Notice (as described in Condition 9), the amount of interest
that was due but not paid on such Interest Payment Date will itself bear
interest at the applicable rate until both the unpaid interest and the
interest on that interest are paid.

                                      100
<PAGE>

(C)  Rates of Interest
     In relation to each Class of Notes the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Class (each a "Rate of Interest" and together the "Rates of
Interest") and the relevant Interest Amount in respect of such Class shall be
determined on the basis of the provisions set out below:

     (i)   In respect of each Class of Notes (other than the Series 1 Class A3
           Notes),

           (a)  On each Interest Determination Date in relation to such Class,
                the Agent Bank will determine the Relevant Screen Rate in
                respect of such Class as at or about the Quotation Time for
                such Class.

                If the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank
                will request the principal London office of each of the
                Reference Banks to provide the Agent Bank with its offered
                quotation to leading banks for the relevant Quotation Deposits
                for the relevant Quotation Period in the relevant Quotation
                Market as at or about the relevant Quotation Time on such
                Interest Determination Date.

                The Rate of Interest for such Class for the Interest Period
                relating to such Class shall be the aggregate of (a) the
                Relevant Margin in respect of such Class and (b) the Relevant
                Screen Rate in respect of such Class or, if the Relevant
                Screen Rate is unavailable, the arithmetic mean (or, in the
                case of the initial Interest Determination Date relating to
                such Class, the linear interpolation of the arithmetic mean)
                of such offered quotations by the Reference Banks (rounded
                upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places).

           (b)  If on any Interest Determination Date in relation to such
                Class, the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of such Class is
                unavailable and only two or three of the Reference Banks
                provide offered quotations, the Rates of Interest for such
                Class for the relevant Interest Period shall be determined in
                accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraph (a) above on
                the basis of the offered quotations of those Reference Banks
                providing such quotations.

                If, on any such Interest Determination Date, only one or none
                of the Reference Banks provides the Agent Bank with such an
                offered quotation, the Agent Bank shall forthwith consult with
                the Note Trustee for the purposes of agreeing two banks (or,
                where one only of the Reference Banks provided such a
                quotation, one additional bank) to provide such a quotation or
                quotations to the Agent Bank (which bank or banks are in the
                opinion of the Note Trustee suitable for such purpose) and the
                Rates of Interest for the Interest Period in question shall be
                determined, as aforesaid, on the basis of the offered
                quotations of such banks as so agreed (or, as the case may be,
                the offered quotations of such bank as so agreed and the
                relevant Reference Bank).

                If no such bank or banks is or are so agreed or such bank or
                banks as so agreed does or do not provide such a quotation or
                quotations, then the Rates of Interest for the relevant
                Interest Period shall be the Rates of Interest in relation to
                such Class in effect for the immediately preceding Interest
                Period to which sub-paragraph (a) above shall have applied but
                taking account of any change in the Relevant Margin in
                relation to such Class.

                                     101

     (ii)  In respect of the Series 1 Class A3 Notes:

           (a)  On each Interest Determination Date, the Agent Bank will
                determine the Federal Funds Rate in respect of the Series 1
                Class A3 Notes as at or about 5:00 p.m. New York City time.
                The "Federal Funds Rate" applicable to the Series 1 Class A3
                Notes for the related Interest Period in which such Interest
                Determination Date occurs shall be determined by calculating
                the weighted average of the Daily Federal Funds Rate during
                the Series 1 Class A3 Interest Determination Period (as
                defined below) ending on such Interest Determination Date, as
                calculated in the following manner:

                     (1)  On each calendar day beginning on (and including) an
                          Interest Determination Date to (but excluding) the
                          next following Interest Determination Date (or in
                          respect of the first Interest Period in respect of
                          the Series 1 Class A3 Notes, on each calendar day
                          beginning on (and including) the Closing Date to
                          (but excluding) the first Interest Determination
                          Date occurring in April 2003) (the "Series 1 Class
                          A3 Interest Determination Period"), the Agent Bank
                          will determine the federal funds rate as set forth
                          in H.l5(5l9) opposite the caption "Federal funds
                          (effective)", as such rate is displayed on the
                          Telerate Page 120. However, if, by 5:00 p.m., New
                          York City time, on any calendar day the federal
                          funds rate does not appear on the Telerate Page 120
                          or is not yet published in H.15(5l9), the rate for
                          such day will be the rate set forth in H. 15 Daily
                          Update, or such other recognized electronic source
                          used for the purpose of displaying such rate, for
                          that day opposite the caption "Federal funds
                          (effective)", and if, by 5:00 p.m., New York City
                          time, on any calendar day the federal funds rate
                          does not appear on the Telerate Page 120 or is not
                          yet published in H.l5(5l9), H.15 Daily Update or
                          another recognized electronic source, the rate for
                          such day will be the rate for the first preceding
                          day for which such rate is set forth in H. 15(519)
                          opposite the caption "Federal funds (effective)", as
                          such rate is displayed on the Telerate Page 120. The
                          foregoing is referred to herein as the "Daily
                          Federal Funds Rate".

                     (2)  On each Interest Determination Date, the Agent Bank
                          will calculate the weighted average of the Daily
                          Federal Funds Rates determined in (1) above by
                          dividing (x) the sum of the Daily Federal Funds Rate
                          determined each calendar day during the relevant
                          Series 1 Class A3 Interest Determination Period, by
                          (y) the number of calendar days in such Series 1
                          Class A3 Interest Determination Period.

                     The Rate of Interest for the Series 1 Class A3 Notes for
                     any Interest Period relating to the Series 1 Class A3
                     Notes shall be the aggregate of the Relevant Margin in
                     respect of such Series 1 Class A3 Notes and the Federal
                     Funds Rate (as determined in (2) above on the applicable
                     Interest Determination Date and applying to such Interest
                     Period in which such Interest Determination Date occurs)
                     for such Series 1 Class A3 Notes.

         There will be no minimum or maximum Rate of Interest.

(D)  Determination of Rates of Interest and Calculation of Interest Amounts

     (i)   The Agent Bank shall, as soon as practicable after the Quotation
           Time (or with respect to the Series 1 Class A3 Notes, 5.00 p.m. New
           York City time) on each

                                     102
<PAGE>

           Interest Determination Date, determine and notify the Current
           Issuer, the Current Issuer Cash Manager, the Note Trustee and the
           Paying Agents of (i) the Rates of Interest applicable to each Class
           of Notes for the relevant Interest Period, (ii) the Interest Amount
           payable in respect of each class of Notes for the relevant Interest
           Period and (iii) the Note Interest Amount payable in respect of
           each Note for the relevant Interest Period.

     (ii)  The amount of interest in respect of each class of Notes in respect
           of an Interest Period (in each case, the "Interest Amount") shall
           be determined by applying the relevant Rate of Interest to the
           aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant class of
           Notes, multiplying the sum by the applicable day count fraction
           described in Condition 4(A) and rounding the resultant figure to
           the nearest cent, amounts equal to or above half a cent being
           rounded upwards and amounts below half a cent being rounded
           downwards (in the case of Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes) and the
           nearest penny, amounts equal to or above half a penny being rounded
           upwards and amounts below half a penny being rounded downwards (in
           the case of the Sterling Notes).

           The amount of interest in respect of each Note in respect of an
           Interest Period (in each case, the "Note Interest Amount") shall be
           the proportion of the relevant Interest Amount in relation to the
           relevant class of Notes on such date equal to the proportion that
           the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Note bears to the
           aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant class of
           Notes rounding the resulting figure to the nearest cent, amounts
           equal to or above half a cent being rounded upwards and amounts
           below half a cent being rounded downwards (in respect of the Dollar
           Notes and the Euro Notes) and the nearest penny, amounts equal to
           or above half a penny being rounded upwards and amounts below half
           a penny being rounded downwards (in respect of the Sterling Notes).

         The amount of interest in respect of each Note in respect of an
Interest Period (in each case, the "Note Interest Amount") shall be the
proportion of the relevant Interest Amount in relation to the relevant class
of Notes on such date equal to the proportion that the Principal Amount
Outstanding of the relevant Note bears to the aggregate Principal Amount
Outstanding of the relevant class of Notes rounded down to the nearest cent in
respect of the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes, and rounded down to the
nearest penny in respect of the Sterling Notes.

(E) Publication of Rates of Interest, Interest Amounts and other Notices
    As soon as possible, the Agent Bank will cause the Rate of Interest and
the Interest Amount applicable to each class of Notes for each Interest Period
and the Interest Payment Date falling at the end of such Interest Period to be
notified to the Current Issuer, the Current Issuer Cash Manager, the Note
Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Registrar and to each stock exchange,
competent listing authority and/or quotation system (if any) on or by which
the Notes are then listed, quoted and/or traded and will cause notice thereof
to be given to the relevant class of Noteholders in accordance with Condition
14. The Interest Amounts and Interest Payment Dates so notified may
subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way
of adjustment) without notice in the event of any extension or shortening of
the relevant Interest Period.

(F)  Determination and/or Calculation by Note Trustee
     If the Agent Bank does not at any time for any reason determine the Rate
of Interest and/or calculate the Interest Amount for any class of Notes in
accordance with the foregoing paragraphs, the Note Trustee shall (i) determine
the Rate of Interest at such rate as (having such regard as it shall think fit
to the procedure described above) it shall in its sole discretion deem fair
and reasonable in all the circumstances and/or (as the case may be) (ii)
calculate the Interest Amount for such class of Notes in the manner specified
in paragraph (D) above, and any such determination and/or calculation shall be
deemed to have been made by the Agent Bank.

                                     103
<PAGE>

(G)  Notifications to be Final
     All notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations,
quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes
of this Condition 4, whether by the Reference Banks (or any of them) or any
other bank or the Agent Bank (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or
manifest error) be binding on the Current Issuer, the Current Issuer Cash
Manager, the Reference Banks, such other bank, the Agent Bank, the Note
Trustee and all Noteholders and (in such absence as aforesaid) no liability to
the Noteholders shall attach to the Current Issuer, the Reference Banks, such
other bank, the Agent Bank, the Note Trustee or the Current Issuer Cash
Manager in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by them or any of them
of their powers, duties and discretions hereunder.

(H)  Reference Banks and Agent Bank
     The Agent Bank shall ensure that, so long as any of the Notes remains
outstanding, there shall at all times be four Reference Banks with offices in
London and an Agent Bank. In the event of any Reference Bank being unable or
unwilling to continue to act as a Reference Bank, the Current Issuer shall,
with the approval of the Note Trustee, appoint a successor Reference Bank to
act as such in its place. In the event of the then Agent Bank being unwilling
to act as the Agent Bank, or resigning pursuant to the Current Issuer Paying
Agent and Agent Bank Agreement, the Current Issuer shall, with the approval of
the Note Trustee, appoint a successor Agent Bank. If the Current Issuer shall
fail to appoint a successor Reference Bank or successor Agent Bank (as the
case may be), the Agent Bank shall appoint such other bank as may be
previously approved in writing by the Note Trustee to act as the Reference
Bank or Agent Bank (as the case may be). The resignation of the Agent Bank
will not take effect until a successor approved by the Note Trustee has been
appointed.

5.   Redemption, Purchase and Cancellation
(A)  Final Redemption
     Unless previously redeemed in full as provided in this Condition 5, the
Current Issuer shall redeem each class of Notes at their then Principal Amount
Outstanding together with all accrued interest on the Final Maturity Date in
respect of such class of Notes.

     The Current Issuer may not redeem the Notes in whole or in part prior to
those respective dates except as provided in paragraph (B), (D) or (E) below,
but without prejudice to Condition 9.

(B)  Mandatory Redemption of the Notes in Part
     On each Payment Date, other than a Payment Date on which the Notes are to
be redeemed under Conditions 5(A), (D) or (E), the Current Issuer shall repay
principal in respect of the Notes in accordance with and subject to the
relevant Current Issuer Priority of Payments applicable to the Current Issuer
on such Payment Date and then only to the extent of Current Issuer Available
Principal Receipts on such Payment Date in the manner described in and subject
to the Current Issuer Cash Management Agreement and/or, as applicable, the
Current Issuer Deed of Charge.

(C)  Note Principal Payments, Principal Amount Outstanding and Pool Factor
     The principal amount redeemable (the "Note Principal Payment") in respect
of each Note of a particular class of Notes on any Payment Date under
paragraph (B) above shall be a proportion of the amount required as at that
Payment Date to be applied in redemption of the relevant class of Notes on
such date equal to the proportion that the Principal Amount Outstanding of the
relevant Note bears to the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the
relevant class of Notes rounded down to the nearest cent in respect of the
Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes, and rounded down to the nearest penny in
respect of the Sterling Notes; provided always that no such Note Principal
Payment may exceed the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Note.

     On each Note Determination Date the Current Issuer shall determine (or
cause the Current Issuer Cash Manager to determine) (i) the amount of any Note
Principal Payment payable in respect of each Note of the relevant series and
class on the immediately following

                                     104
<PAGE>

Payment Date, (ii) the Principal Amount Outstanding of each such Note which
shall be $1,000 or, as the case may be, $10,000 (in the case of each Dollar
Note), (euro)1,000 or, as the case may be, (euro)10,000 (in the case of each
Euro Note) and (pound)1,000 or, as the case may be, (pound)10,000 (in the case
of each Sterling Note) less (in each case) the aggregate amount of all Note
Principal Payments in respect of such Notes that have been paid since the
Closing Date and on or prior to that Note Determination Date (the "Principal
Amount Outstanding") and (iii) the fraction expressed as a decimal to the
fifth decimal point (the "Pool Factor"), of which the numerator is the
Principal Amount Outstanding of that Note (as referred to in (ii) above) and
the denominator is $1,000 or, as the case may be, $10,000 (in the case of each
Dollar Note), (euro)1,000 or, as the case may be, (euro)10,000 (in the case of
each Euro Note) and (pound)1,000 or, as the case may be, (pound)10,000 (in the
case of each Sterling Note). Each determination by or on behalf of the Current
Issuer of any Note Principal Payment of a Note, the Principal Amount
Outstanding of a Note and the Pool Factor shall in each case (in the absence
of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be final and binding on all
persons.

     With respect to the Notes of each class, the Current Issuer will cause
each determination of the Note Principal Payment, the Principal Amount
Outstanding and the Pool Factor to be notified forthwith, and in any event not
later than 1.00 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding
the Note Determination Date, to the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the
Registrar, the Agent Bank and (for so long as the Notes are listed on one or
more stock exchanges) the relevant stock exchanges, and will cause notice of
each determination of the Note Principal Payment, the Principal Amount
Outstanding and the Pool Factor to be given to Noteholders in accordance with
Condition 14 by no later than the Business Day after the relevant Payment
Date.

     If the Current Issuer does not at any time for any reason determine (or
cause the Current Issuer Cash Manager to determine), a Note Principal Payment,
the Principal Amount Outstanding or the Pool Factor in accordance with the
preceding provisions of this paragraph, such Note Principal Payment, Principal
Amount Outstanding and/or Pool Factor may be determined by the Note Trustee in
accordance with this paragraph (C) in the manner the Note Trustee in its
discretion considers fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard
to this paragraph (C), and each such determination or calculation shall be
deemed to have been made by the Current Issuer. Any such determination shall
(in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on
the Current Issuer, the Current Issuer Cash Manager and the Noteholders.

(D)  Optional Redemption in Full
     Subject to the provisos below, upon giving not more than 60 nor less than
30 days' prior notice to the Note Trustee and the Noteholders in accordance
with Condition 14, the Current Issuer may redeem all (but not some only) of
the Notes at their Principal Amount Outstanding together with any accrued
interest on the following dates:

     (i)   the Payment Date falling in April 2008 and on any Payment Date
           thereafter. This gives the Current Issuer the option to redeem the
           Notes after the April 2008 step-up date for interest; or

     (ii)  any Payment Date on which the aggregate Principal Amount
           Outstanding of the Notes is less than 10 per cent. of the aggregate
           Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes as at the Closing Date,

     PROVIDED THAT (a) (in either of the cases above), prior to giving any
such notice, the Current Issuer shall have provided to the Note Trustee prior
to the date of such redemption a certificate signed by two directors of the
Current Issuer to the effect that it will have the funds, not subject to any
interest of any other person, required to redeem the Notes as aforesaid and
any amounts required to be paid in priority to or pari passu with the Notes
outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Current Issuer
Cash Management Agreement and (b) the

                                     105
<PAGE>

Note Trustee is satisfied in accordance with the Transaction Documents that
there are sufficient funds to allow the Current Issuer to redeem the Notes.

(E)  Optional Redemption for Tax and other Reasons
     If the Current Issuer at any time satisfies the Note Trustee immediately
prior to the giving of the notice referred to below that on the next Payment
Date or Interest Payment Date either (i) the Current Issuer would be required
to deduct or withhold from any payment of principal or interest or any other
amount under any of the Notes any amount for or on account of any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
or (ii) Funding would be required to deduct or withhold from amounts due under
the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan any amount on account of any present or
future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature
and (iii) such obligation of the Current Issuer or Funding (as the case may
be) cannot be avoided by the Current Issuer or Funding (as the case may be)
taking reasonable measures available to it, then the Current Issuer shall use
its reasonable endeavours to arrange the substitution of a company
incorporated in another jurisdiction approved by the Note Trustee as principal
debtor under the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes and/or
as lender under the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan Agreement, as the case
may be, upon the Note Trustee being satisfied that (1) such substitution will
not be materially prejudicial to the Noteholders, and (2) that the position of
the Current Issuer Secured Creditors will not thereby be adversely affected,
and (3) that such substitution would not require registration of any new
security under United States securities laws or would materially increase the
disclosure requirements under United States law or the costs of issuance. Only
if the Current Issuer is unable to arrange a substitution will the Current
Issuer be entitled to redeem the Notes as described in this Condition 5(E).

     Subject to the proviso below, if the Current Issuer is unable to arrange
a substitution as described above and, as a result, one or more of the events
described in (i) or (ii) above (as the case may be) is continuing, then the
Current Issuer may, having given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days'
notice to the Note Trustee and the Noteholders in accordance with Condition
14, redeem all (but not some only) of the Notes on the immediately succeeding
Payment Date at their aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding together with any
interest accrued thereon provided that (in either case), prior to giving any
such notice, the Current Issuer shall have provided to the Note Trustee (A) a
certificate signed by two directors of the Current Issuer stating the
circumstances referred to in (i) or (ii) and (iii) above prevail and setting
out details of such circumstances and (B) an opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to the Note Trustee of independent legal advisors of recognised
standing to the effect that the Current Issuer has or will become obliged to
pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. The Note
Trustee shall be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion as sufficient
evidence of the satisfaction of the circumstance set out in (i) or (ii) and
(iii) above, in which event they shall be conclusive and binding on the
Noteholders. The Current Issuer may only redeem the Notes as aforesaid if the
Note Trustee is satisfied in accordance with the Transaction Documents that
the Current Issuer will have the funds, not subject to the interest of any
other person, required to redeem the Notes as aforesaid and any amounts
required under the Current Issuer Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments
currently set out in the Current Issuer Cash Management Agreement to be paid
in priority to or pari passu with the Notes outstanding in accordance with the
terms and conditions thereof.

     In addition to the foregoing, if at any time it becomes unlawful for the
Current Issuer to make, fund or allow to remain outstanding the Current Issuer
Intercompany Loan, then the Current Issuer may require Funding upon giving not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days' (or such shorter period as may be required
under any relevant law) prior written notice to the Current Issuer and the
Note Trustee, to prepay the Current Issuer Intercompany Loan on any Payment
Date subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Current Issuer
Intercompany Loan Agreement to the extent necessary to cure such illegality.
Such monies received by the Current Issuer shall be used to redeem the Current
Issuer Notes in full on that Payment Date.

of interest payable on redemption) upon surrender (or, in the case of part
payment only, endorsement) of the relevant Note Certificates at the Specified
Office of any Paying Agent.

(B)  Laws and Regulations
     Payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes are subject in
all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto.
Noteholders will not be charged commissions or expenses on payments.

(C)  Payment of Interest following a failure to pay Principal
     If payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused on or in
respect of any Note or part thereof, the interest which continues to accrue in
respect of such Note in accordance with Condition 4(A) will be paid in
accordance with this Condition 6.

(D)  Change of Agents
     The initial Principal Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and
the initial Paying Agents and their respective initial Specified Offices are
listed at the end of these Conditions. The Current Issuer reserves the right,
subject to the prior written approval of the Note Trustee, at any time to vary
or terminate the appointment of the Principal Paying Agent, the Registrar, the
Transfer Agent and the US Paying Agent and to appoint additional or other
Paying Agents. The Current Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent
with a Specified Office in London and a US Paying Agent with a Specified
Office in New York and a Registrar. Except where otherwise provided in the
Current Issuer Trust Deed, the Current Issuer will cause at least 30 days'
notice of any change in or addition to the Paying Agents, the Transfer Agent
or the Registrar or their Specified Offices to be given in accordance with
Condition 14 and will notify the Rating Agencies of such change or addition.

(E)  No payment on non-Business Day
     Where payment is to be made by transfer to a US Dollar account, Sterling
account or Euro account, payment instructions (for value the due date or, if
the due date is not a Payment Business Day, for value the next succeeding
Business Day) will be initiated and, where payment is to be made by US Dollar
cheque, Sterling cheque or Euro cheque, the cheque will be mailed (i) (in the
case of payments of principal and interest payable on redemption) on the later
of the due date for payment and the day on which the relevant Note is
surrendered (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsed) at the Specified
Office of a Paying Agent and (ii) (in the case of payments of interest payable
other than on redemption) on the due date for payment. A Holder of a Note
shall not be entitled to any interest or other payment in respect of any delay
in payment

                                     107
<PAGE>

resulting from (A) the due date for a payment not being a Payment Business Day
or (B) a cheque mailed in accordance with this Condition 6(E) arriving after
the due date for payment or being lost in the mail.

(F)  Partial Payment
     If a Paying Agent makes a partial payment in respect of any Note, the
Current Issuer shall procure and the registrar will ensure that the amount and
date of such payment are noted on the Register and, in the case of partial
payment upon presentation of a Note Certificate, that a statement indicating
the amount and date of such payment is endorsed on the relevant Note
Certificate.

(G)  Record Date
     Each payment in respect of a Note will be made to the person shown as the
Holder in the Register at the opening of business in the place of the
Registrar's Specified Office on the fifteenth day before the due date for such
payment (the "Record Date"). Where payment in respect of a Note is to be made
by cheque, the cheque will be mailed to the address shown as the address of
the Holder in the Register at the opening of business on the relevant Record
Date.

(H)  Payment of Interest
     Subject as provided otherwise in these Conditions, if interest is not
paid in respect of a Note of any class on the date when due and payable (other
than because the due date is not a Payment Business Day) or by reason of
non-compliance with Condition 6(A), then such unpaid interest shall itself
bear interest at the Rate of Interest applicable from time to time to such
Note until such interest and interest thereon are available for payment and
notice thereof has been duly given in accordance with Condition 14.

7.   Prescription
     Claims against the Current Issuer for payment of interest and principal
on redemption shall be prescribed and become void if the relevant Note
Certificates are not surrendered for payment within a period of 10 years from
the relevant date in respect thereof. After the date on which a payment under
a Note becomes void in its entirety, no claim may be made in respect thereof.
In this Condition 7, the "relevant date", in respect of a payment under a
Note, is the date on which the payment in respect thereof first becomes due or
(if the full amount of the monies payable in respect of those payments under
all the Notes due on or before that date has not been duly received by the
Principal Paying Agent, the US Paying Agent or the Note Trustee on or prior to
such date) the date on which the full amount of such monies having been so
received or notice to that effect is duly given to Noteholders in accordance
with Condition 14.

8.   Taxation
     All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without withholding or
deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties or
charges of whatsoever nature unless the Current Issuer or any relevant Paying
Agent is required by applicable law to make any payment in respect of the
Notes subject to any such withholding or deduction. In that event, the Current
Issuer or such Paying Agent shall make such payment after such withholding or
deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the
amount so required to be withheld or deducted. No Paying Agent nor the Current
Issuer will be obliged to make any additional payments to Noteholders in
respect of such withholding or deduction.

9.   Events of Default
(A)  Class A Noteholders:
     The Note Trustee in its absolute discretion may give notice to the
Current Issuer and the Security Trustee of a Current Issuer Note Event of
Default (as defined below) in respect of the Class A Notes (a "Class A Note
Enforcement Notice"), and shall give such notice if it is indemnified to its
satisfaction and (1) if so requested in writing by the Holders of not less
than 25 per cent. in aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class A
Notes or (2) if so directed by or pursuant to an Extraordinary Resolution
passed at a meeting of the Class A Noteholders, declaring (in writing) the
Notes to be due

                                     108

            default being made for a period of fifteen Business Days in the

            Issuer Trust Deed, the Current Issuer Deed of Charge or any other
            Transaction Document and, in any such case (except where the Note
            Trustee certifies that, in its opinion, such failure is incapable
            of remedy, in which case no notice will be required), such failure
            is continuing unremedied for a period of 30 days following the
            service by the Note Trustee on the Current Issuer of notice
            requiring the same to be remedied and the Note Trustee has
            certified that the failure to perform or observe is materially
            prejudicial to the interests of the Class A Noteholders; or

     (iii)  the Current Issuer, otherwise than for the purposes of such
            amalgamation or reconstruction as is referred to in sub-paragraph
            (iv) below, ceases or threatens to cease to carry on its business
            or a substantial part of its business or the Current Issuer is

            to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123(2) of the
            Insolvency Act 1986 (as that section may be amended, modified or
            re-enacted); or

     (iv)   an order being made or an effective resolution being passed for
            the winding-up of the Current Issuer except a winding-up for the
            purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, restructuring or
            merger the terms of which have previously been approved by the
            Note Trustee in writing or by an Extraordinary Resolution of the
            Class A Noteholders; or

     (v)    proceedings being otherwise initiated against the Current Issuer
            under any applicable liquidation, insolvency, composition,

            (except in the case of presentation of a petition for an
            administration order) such proceedings are not, in the opinion of
            the Note Trustee, being disputed in good faith with a reasonable
            prospect of success, or an administration order being granted or
            an administrative receiver or other receiver, liquidator or other

            undertaking or assets of the Current Issuer, or an encumbrancer
            taking possession of the whole or any substantial part of the
            undertaking or assets of the Current Issuer, or a distress,
            execution, diligence or other process being levied or enforced
            upon or sued out against the whole or any substantial part of the
            undertaking or assets of the Current Issuer and such possession or
            process (as the case may be) not being discharged or not otherwise
            ceasing to apply within 30 days, or the Current Issuer initiating
            or consenting to judicial proceedings relating to itself under
            applicable liquidation, insolvency, composition, reorganisation or
            other similar laws or making a conveyance or assignment for the
            benefit of its creditors generally; or

                                     109
<PAGE>

(B)  Class B Noteholders
     This Condition 9(B) shall have no effect if, and for as long as, any

Notes are outstanding, the Note Trustee in its absolute discretion may give
notice to the Current Issuer and the Security Trustee of a Current Issuer Note
Event of Default (as defined below) in respect of the Class B Notes (a "Class
B Note Enforcement Notice"), and shall give such notice if it is indemnified
to its satisfaction and (1) if so requested in writing by the Holders of not
less than 25 per cent. in aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class
B Notes or (2) if so directed by or pursuant to an Extraordinary Resolution
passed at a meeting of the Class B Notes Noteholders, declaring (in writing)
the Notes to be due and repayable (and they shall forthwith become due and
repayable) at any time after the happening of any of the following events:

     (i)   default being made for a period of seven Business Days in the
           payment of any amount of principal on any Class B Note when and as
           the same ought to be paid in accordance with these Conditions or
           default being made for a period of fifteen Business Days in the
           payment of any amount of interest on any Class B Note when and as
           the same ought to be paid in accordance with these Conditions; or

     (ii)  the occurrence of any of the events in Condition 9(A)(ii), (iii),
           (iv), (v) or (vi) above provided that the references in Condition
           9(A)(ii) and Condition 9(A)(iv) to Class A Notes and Class A
           Noteholders shall be read as references to Class B Notes and Class
           B Noteholders, respectively.

(C)  Class C Noteholders
     This Condition 9(C) shall have no effect if, and for as long as, any
Class A Notes or any Class B Notes are outstanding. Subject thereto, for so
long as any Class C Notes are outstanding, the Note Trustee in its absolute
discretion may give notice to the Current Issuer and the Security Trustee of a
Current Issuer Note Event of Default (as defined below) in respect of the
Class C Notes (a "Class C Note Enforcement Notice"), and shall give such
notice if it is indemnified to its satisfaction and (1) if so requested in
writing by the Holders of not less than 25 per cent. in aggregate Principal
Amount Outstanding of the Class C Notes or (2) if so directed by or pursuant
to an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of the Class C Noteholders,
declaring (in writing) the Notes to be due and repayable (and they shall
forthwith become due and repayable) at any time after the happening of any of
the following events:

     (i)   default being made for a period of seven Business Days in the
           payment of any amount of principal on any Class C Note when and as
           the same ought to be paid in accordance with these Conditions or
           default being made for a period of fifteen Business Days in the
           payment of any amount of interest on any Class C Note when and as
           the same ought to be paid in accordance with these Conditions; or

     (ii)  the occurrence of any of the events in Condition 9(A)(ii), (iii),
           (iv), (v) or (vi) above provided that the references in Condition
           9(A)(ii) and Condition 9(A)(iv) to Class A Notes and Class A
           Noteholders shall be read as references to Class C Notes and Class
           C Noteholders respectively.

(D)  Following Service of a Note Enforcement Notice
     For the avoidance of doubt, upon any Note Enforcement Notice being given

classes of the Notes then outstanding shall immediately become due and
repayable, without further action or formality, at their Principal Amount
Outstanding together with accrued interest as provided in the Current Issuer
Trust Deed.

10.  Enforcement of Notes
     The Note Trustee may, at its discretion and without notice at any time
and from time to time, take such steps and institute such proceedings against
the Current Issuer or any other person as it may think fit to enforce the
provisions of the Notes, the Current Issuer Trust Deed

                                     110
<PAGE>

(including these Conditions), the Current Issuer Deed of Charge or any of the
other Transaction Documents. The Note Trustee may, at its discretion and
without notice, at any time after the Current Issuer Security has become
enforceable, take such steps as it may think fit to enforce the Current Issuer
Security. The Note Trustee shall not be bound to take any such proceedings or
steps unless:

     (i)   (subject in all cases to restrictions contained in the Current
           Issuer Trust Deed or, as the case may be, the Current Issuer Deed
           of Charge to protect the interests of any higher ranking class of
           Noteholders) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary
           Resolution (as described in Condition 9) of the Class A
           Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders or the Class C Noteholders or
           so requested in writing by the Holders of at least 25 per cent. in
           Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes
           outstanding or Class C Notes outstanding; and

     (ii)  it shall have been indemnified to its satisfaction.

     Amounts available for distribution after enforcement of the Current
Issuer Security shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the
Current Issuer Deed of Charge.

     No Noteholder may institute any proceedings against the Current Issuer to
enforce its rights under or in respect of the Notes or the Current Issuer
Trust Deed unless (1) the Note Trustee has become bound to institute
proceedings and has failed to do so within 30 days of becoming so bound and
(2) such failure is continuing; provided that, no Class B Noteholder or Class
C Noteholder will be entitled to commence proceedings for the winding up or
administration of the Current Issuer unless there are no outstanding Notes of
a class with higher priority, or if Notes of a class with higher priority are
outstanding, there is consent of Noteholders of not less than 25 per cent. of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding (as defined in the
Current Issuer Trust Deed) of the class or classes of Notes with higher
priority. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding any other
provision of the Current Issuer Trust Deed, the right of any Noteholder to
receive payment of principal and interest on its Notes on or after the due
date for such principal or interest, or to institute suit for the enforcement
of payment of that principal or interest, may not be impaired or affected
without the consent of that Noteholder.

     In the event that (a) the Current Issuer Security is enforced and after
payment of all other claims ranking in priority to the Notes under the Current
Issuer Deed of Charge, the remaining proceeds of such enforcement are
insufficient to pay in full all principal and interest and other amounts
whatsoever due in respect of the Notes and all other claims ranking pari passu
therewith or (b) within 20 days following the Final Maturity Date of the
latest maturing Note, the Note Trustee certifies that there is no further
amount outstanding under the related Current Issuer Intercompany Loan, then
all interests in the Global Note Certificate will be automatically exchanged
for equivalent interests in an equivalent amount of Notes in an equivalent
Principal Amount Outstanding in Individual Note Certificates and such Global
Note Certificate will be cancelled on the date of such exchange. The
Noteholders are required and the Note Trustee is required on their behalf at
the request of the Post Enforcement Call Option Holder, to transfer or (as the
case may be) procure transfer of all (but not some only) of the Notes to the
Post Enforcement Call Option Holder pursuant to the option granted to it by
the Note Trustee (as agent for the Noteholders) pursuant to the Current Issuer
Post Enforcement Call Option Agreement. The Noteholders will not be paid for
that transfer. Immediately upon such transfer, no such former Noteholder shall
have any further interest in the Notes. Each of the Noteholders acknowledges
that the Note Trustee has the authority and the power to bind the Noteholders
in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Current Issuer Post
Enforcement Call Option Agreement and each Noteholder, by subscribing for or
purchasing Notes, agrees to be so bound.

            relevant Current Issuer Dollar Currency Swap Rate or Current
            Issuer Euro Currency Swap Rate, respectively.

Extraordinary Resolution which includes the sanctioning of a modification

     A resolution signed by or on behalf of all the Noteholders of the
relevant class who for the time being are entitled to receive notice of a
meeting under the Current Issuer Trust Deed shall for all purposes be as valid
and effective as an Extraordinary Resolution passed at a meeting of such class
of Noteholders.

that it would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Class A
Noteholders.

that it would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Class A
Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders.

(D)  Basic Terms Modifications

     (i)    An Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Noteholders concerning

            Noteholders.

     (ii)   An Extraordinary Resolution of the Class B Noteholders concerning
            a Basic Terms Modification will not be effective unless it shall

            Noteholders and an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class C
            Noteholders.

     (iii)  An Extraordinary Resolution of the Class C Noteholders concerning
            a Basic Terms Modification will not be effective unless it is also
            sanctioned by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A
            Noteholders and an Extraordinary Resolution of the Class B
            Noteholders.

(E)  Modifications and Determinations by Note Trustee
     The Note Trustee may agree, without the consent of the relevant class of
Noteholders, (i) to any modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification)
of, or to the waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of, the
Conditions of a particular class or classes or any of the Transaction
Documents which is not, in the opinion of the Note Trustee, materially
prejudicial to the interests of the relevant class or classes of the
Noteholders or (ii) to any modification of these Conditions or any of the

                                     113

     Any such modification, waiver, authorisation or determination shall be
binding on the Noteholders and, unless the Note Trustee agrees otherwise, any
such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies
in accordance with Condition 14 as soon as practicable thereafter.

     The Note Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Holders of the
Sterling Notes on or after the Specified Date (as defined below), to such
modifications to the Sterling Notes and the Current Issuer Trust Deed in
respect of redenomination of such Notes in euro and associated
reconventioning, renominalisation and related matters in respect of such Notes
as may be proposed by the Current Issuer (and confirmed by an independent
financial institution approved by the Note Trustee to be in conformity with
then applicable market conventions) and to provide for redemption at the euro
equivalent of the sterling principal amount of the Sterling Notes. For these
purposes, "Specified Date" means the date on which the United Kingdom
participates in the third stage of European economic and monetary union
pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the
Treaty on European Union, or otherwise participates in European economic and
monetary union in a manner with an effect similar to such third stage.

     Any such modification shall be binding on the Holders of the Sterling
Notes and, unless the Note Trustee agrees otherwise, any such modification
shall be notified to such Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 as soon
as practicable thereafter.

(F)  Exercise of Note Trustee's Functions
     Where the Note Trustee is required, in connection with the exercise of
its powers, trusts, authorities, duties and discretions, to have regard to the
interests of the Noteholders of one class, it shall have regard to the
interests of such Noteholders as a class and, in particular but without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Note Trustee shall not have
regard to, or be in any way liable for, the consequences of such exercise for
individual Noteholders resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or
resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of,
any particular territory. In connection with any such exercise, the Note
Trustee shall not be entitled to require, and no Noteholder shall be entitled
to claim, from the Current Issuer or any other person, any indemnification or
payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual
Noteholders.

12.  Indemnification of the Note Trustee
     The Current Issuer Trust Deed and the Current Issuer Deed of Charge
contain provisions governing the responsibility (and relief from
responsibility) of the Note Trustee and providing for its indemnification in
certain circumstances, including, among others, provisions relieving it from
taking enforcement proceedings or enforcing the Current Issuer Security unless
indemnified to its satisfaction. The Note Trustee is also entitled to be paid
its costs and expenses in priority to any interest payments to Noteholders.

     The Note Trustee and its related companies are entitled to enter into
business transactions with the Current Issuer, the Current Issuer Cash
Manager, Northern Rock plc and/or the related companies of any of them and to
act as note trustee for the Holders of any new Notes and/or any other person
who is a party to any Transaction Document or whose obligations are comprised
in the Current Issuer Security and/or any of its subsidiary or associated
companies without accounting for any profit resulting therefrom.

     The Note Trustee will not be responsible for any loss, expense or
liability which may be suffered as a result of any assets comprised in the
Current Issuer Security, or any deeds or documents of title thereto, being
uninsured or inadequately insured or being held by clearing organisations or
their operators or by intermediaries such as banks, brokers or other similar
persons on behalf of the Note Trustee.

     Furthermore, the Note Trustee will be relieved of liability for making
searches or other inquiries in relation to the assets comprising the Current
Issuer Security. The Note Trustee does

                                     114
<PAGE>

not have any responsibility in relation to the legality and the enforceability
of the trust arrangements and the related Current Issuer Security. The Note
Trustee will not be obliged to take any action which might result in its
incurring personal liabilities. The Note Trustee is not obliged to monitor or
investigate the performance of any other person under the Current Issuer
related documents or the documents relating to the Current Issuer Intercompany
Loan and the Mortgages Trust and is entitled to assume, until it has actual
knowledge to the contrary, that all such persons are properly performing their
duties, unless it receives express notice to the contrary.

     The Note Trustee will not be responsible for any deficiency which may
arise because it is liable to tax in respect of the proceeds of any Current
Issuer Security.

     Similar provisions in respect of the indemnification of the Security
Trustee are set out in the Transaction Documents.

13.  Replacement of Notes
     If Individual Note Certificates are lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or
destroyed, the Noteholder can replace them at the Specified Office of any
Paying Agent. The Noteholder will be required both to pay the expenses of
producing a replacement and to comply with the Current Issuer's, the
Registrar's and the Paying Agent's reasonable requests for evidence and
indemnity. The Noteholder must surrender any defaced or mutilated Note
Certificates before replacements will be issued.

     If a Global Note Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or
destroyed, the Current Issuer will deliver a replacement Global Note
Certificate to the registered holder upon satisfactory evidence and surrender
of any defaced or mutilated Global Note Certificate. A replacement will only
be made upon payment of the expenses for a replacement and compliance with the
Current Issuer's, Registrar's and Paying Agents' reasonable requests as to
evidence and indemnity.

14.  Notice to Noteholders
(A)  Publication of Notice
     Notices to Noteholders will be sent to them by first class mail (or its
equivalent) or (if posted to a non-UK address) by airmail at the respective
addresses on the Register. Any such notice shall have been deemed to have been
given on the fourth day after the date of mailing. In addition, any notice
shall be validly given if published on the date of such mailing in The
Financial Times and, for so long as amounts are outstanding on the Dollar
Notes, in a daily newspaper of general circulation in New York (which is
expected to be The New York Times) or, if such publication is not practicable,
in a leading English language daily newspaper having general circulation in
the United States; provided that if, at any time, the Current Issuer procures
that the information concerned in such notice shall appear on a page of the
Reuters screen, or any other medium for electronic display of data as may be
previously approved in writing by the Note Trustee and notified to Noteholders
(in each case a "Relevant Screen"), publication in the newspapers set out
above or such other newspaper or newspapers shall not be required with respect
to such information, provided however, that in the case that any Notes are
listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to
trading by the London Stock Exchange, notices of Noteholder Meetings shall
continue to be published as set forth above. Any such notice shall be deemed
to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than
once or on different dates, on the first date on which publication shall have
been made in the newspaper or newspapers in which (or on the Relevant Screen
on which) publication is required.

(B)  Note Trustee's Discretion to Select Alternative Method
     The Note Trustee shall be at liberty to sanction some other method of
giving notice to the Noteholders or any class or category of them if, in its
opinion, such other method is reasonable having regard to market practice then
prevailing and to the requirements of the stock exchanges on which the Notes
are then listed and provided that notice of such other method is given to the
Noteholders in such manner as the Note Trustee shall require.

15.  Governing Law and Jurisdiction
     The Transaction Documents (other than the Current Issuer Underwriting
Agreement) and the Notes are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance
with, English law, except for those provisions in which security is taken over
property situated in Jersey, to which Jersey law shall apply. The courts of
England are to have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which
may arise out of or in connection with the Notes and the Transaction Documents
(other than the Current Issuer Underwriting Agreement). The Current Issuer and
the other parties to the Transaction Documents (other than the Current Issuer
Underwriting Agreement) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of England.

16.  Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
     No person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the

      Trustee) with proof satisfactory to the Note Trustee of its due execution
      on behalf of the Registrar  and  each Form of Proxy shall be deposited by
      the Registrar at such place as the  Note  Trustee  shall approve not less
      than  24  hours  before  the time appointed for holding  the  Meeting  or
      adjourned  Meeting  at which  the  Proxies  named  in  the  Block  Voting
      Instruction or Form of  Proxy  propose  to  vote and in default the Block
      Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy shall not  be treated as valid unless
      the Chairman decides otherwise before such Meeting  or  adjourned Meeting
      proceeds  to business. A notarially certified copy of each  Block  Voting
      Instruction  and  Form  of Proxy shall be deposited with the Note Trustee
      before the commencement of  the Meeting or adjourned Meeting but the Note

      the validity of or the authority  of  the Proxies named in any such Block
      Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy.

17.   VALIDITY OF VOTES BY PROXIES

      Any vote by a Proxy given in accordance  with the terms of a Block Voting
      Instruction or Form of Proxy shall be valid  notwithstanding the previous
      revocation or amendment of the Block Voting Instruction  or  the  Form of
      Proxy or of any of the Noteholders' instructions pursuant to which it was
      executed  provided  that  no intimation in writing of such revocation  or

      under  a Block Voting Instruction or Form  of  Proxy  in  relation  to  a
      Meeting shall remain in

                                       138
<PAGE>

      force in  relation  to  any  resumption  of  such  Meeting  following  an
      adjournment;  provided,  however,  that no such appointment of a Proxy in
      relation to a Meeting originally convened  which  has  been adjourned for
      want of a quorum shall remain in force in relation to such  Meeting  when
      it  is  resumed.   Any person appointed to vote at such a Meeting must be
      re-appointed under a Block Voting Instruction or Form of Proxy to vote at
      the Meeting when it is resumed.

18.   RECORD DATE

      The Current Issuer may  fix a record date for the purposes of any Meeting
      or any resumption thereof  following its adjournment for want of a quorum
      provided that such record date is not more than 10 days prior to the time
      fixed for such Meeting or (as  the  case  may  be)  its  resumption.  The
      person in whose name a Current Issuer Note is registered in  the Register
      on  the  record  date  at  close  of  business  in  the city in which the
      Registrar has its Specified Office shall be deemed to  be  the  holder of
      such   Current   Issuer  Note  for  the  purposes  of  such  Meeting  and
      notwithstanding any  subsequent  transfer  of such Current Issuer Note or
      entries in the Register; and provided that any  Proxy  appointed pursuant
      to a Form of Proxy shall so long as such appointment remains in force, be
      deemed  for  all  purposes  in  connection  with any Meeting or  proposed
      Meeting specified in such appointment, to be  the  holder  of the Current
      Issuer  Note  to  which  such appointment relates and the holder  of  the
      Current Issuer Note shall  be  deemed  for  the  purposes  not  to be the
      holder.
