                        Mortgages Trustee Available Revenue Receipts); and

                  (2)   the Funding Proportion of the amount of any Early
                        Repayment Charge Receipts payable by the Mortgages
                        Trustee to the Seller under the Mortgage Sale
                        Agreement.

                  together, referred to as the "Funding Relevant

                  shall pay) such amount of Deferred Purchase Price as is
                  payable by the Mortgages Trustee to the Seller pursuant to

                  by Funding (as calculated pursuant to this sub-clause (B))
                  to the Mortgages Trustee shall be set off against each other
                  such that, as between the Mortgages Trustee and Funding, no
                  amount shall be payable in respect of such Funding Relevant
                  Distribution or such Deferred Contribution on such date and
                  the Cash Manager on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee shall
                  pay to the Seller (in satisfaction (in part) of the
                  Mortgages Trustee's obligation to pay Deferred Purchase
                  Price to the Seller under the Mortgage Sale Agreement) those
                  funds which, were it not for such set-off, would have been

                  of New Mortgage Loans which are sold and assigned by the
                  Seller to the Mortgages Trustee on such date and (ii)
                  Funding receives the net proceeds of a Funding Intercompany
                  Loan from a Funding Issuer, by paying to the Mortgages
                  Trustee an Initial Contribution in respect of the Funding
                  Share of the Trust Property which shall be equal to (and

                              terms of this Deed.

5.       INCREASING AND DECREASING THE SELLER SHARE OF THE TRUST PROPERTY

5.1      Re-draws under Flexible Mortgage Loans

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

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

5.2      Further Advances

         If at a future date the Seller does not purchase any Mortgage Loan
         which becomes the subject of a Further Advance from the Mortgages
         Trustee, the Seller will be solely responsible for funding any such

8.       ADJUSTMENT OF FUNDING SHARE PERCENTAGE, FUNDING 2 SHARE PERCENTAGE AND
         SELLER SHARE PERCENTAGE

8.1      Effective Periods

         (A)      Subject to Clause 8.1(B) below, the Cash Manager will (on

                  on the Distribution Date occurring in such Trust Calculation
                  Period, based on the aggregate Current Balance of the
                  Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio (as adjusted from
                  time to time) on the last day of the Trust Calculation
                  Period immediately preceding such Distribution Date.

         (B)      Notwithstanding Clause 8.1(A) above, if during any Trust
                  Calculation Period the Seller sells and assigns New Mortgage

                  makes a Contribution (excluding any Deferred Contribution)
                  to the Mortgages Trustee to increase its respective share of

                  Distribution Date occurring in such Trust Calculation Period
                  will be effective only in respect of the period beginning on
                  (and including) the first day of such Trust Calculation
                  Period and ending on (but excluding) the first Assignment
                  Date or Contribution Date, as applicable, to occur during
                  such Trust Calculation Period (such period in respect of
                  such Distribution Date, an "Interim Calculation Period"),
                  based on the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans
                  in the Mortgage Portfolio (as adjusted from time to time) on
                  the last day of the Trust Calculation Period immediately
                  preceding such Distribution Date.

         (C)      In addition to the foregoing, if during any Trust
                  Calculation Period the Seller sells and assigns New Mortgage
                  Loans to the Mortgages Trustee or if a Funding Beneficiary
                  makes a Contribution (excluding any Deferred Contribution)
                  to the Mortgages Trustee to increase its respective share of
                  the Trust Property, the Cash Manager will (on behalf of the

                  Funding Share, the Funding Share Percentage, the Funding 2
                  Share, the Funding 2 Share Percentage, the Seller Share and

                  Contribution Date, as applicable, in respect of the period
                  beginning on (and including) such Assignment Date or
                  Contribution Date, as applicable, and ending on the last day
                  of such Trust Calculation Period (and including such last
                  day of such Trust Calculation Period) (each such period in
                  respect of each Assignment Date or Contribution Date, as
                  applicable, an "Interim Calculation Period"), based on the
                  aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
                  Mortgage Portfolio (as adjusted from time to time) on such
                  Assignment Date or Contribution Date, as applicable.

                  then-current Trust Calculation Period or related Interim
                  Calculation Period, as applicable, for the purpose of
                  calculating the distributions to be made from the Trust
                  Property on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date,
                  and such Current Funding Share Percentage will be an amount,

                  (1)   the Seller had sold and assigned New Mortgage Loans to
                        the Mortgages Trustee; or

                        (excluding any Deferred Contribution) to the Mortgages
                        Trustee to increase its share of the Trust Property;

                  each Interim Calculation Period occurring in such
                  immediately preceding Trust Calculation Period based on the

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

         the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
         Portfolio shall be reduced or, as the case may be, deemed to be
         reduced:

         (A)      any Borrower exercises a right of set-off in relation to any
                  Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Portfolio so that the amount
                  of principal and/or interest owing under such Mortgage Loan
                  is reduced but no corresponding payment is received by the
                  Mortgages Trustee, in which event the aggregate Current

                  Agreement as at the Initial Closing Date or, as the case may
                  be, the relevant Assignment Date or (ii) is the subject of a
                  Product Switch or a Further Advance or in respect of which
                  the Borrower has accepted an offer by the Seller of a

                  the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and Related
                  Security, and in the case of (i) above the Seller fails to
                  repurchase and in the case of (ii) above the Seller fails to
                  purchase, the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans under
                  the relevant Mortgage Account and their Related Security as
                  required by the terms of the Mortgage Sale Agreement; in
                  which event the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage
                  Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio shall be deemed to be
                  reduced for the purposes of making the Trust Property
                  Calculation Adjustments by an amount equal to the Current
                  Balance of the relevant Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
                  under the relevant Mortgage Account (together with Arrears
                  of Interest and Accrued Interest) which the Seller has

                  are notified that a Flexible Mortgage Loan or part thereof
                  has been determined by a court judgment on the point or as a
                  result of a determination by a relevant regulatory authority

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

         (D)      (i) in respect of breaches of Representations and Warranties
                  in the Mortgage Sale Agreement, the Seller would be required

                  Mortgage Loan and its Related Security are not capable of
                  being repurchased or purchased, as applicable; in which
                  event the aggregate Current Balance of the Mortgage Loans in
                  the Mortgage Portfolio shall be deemed to be reduced for the
                  purposes of making the Trust Property Calculation
                  Adjustments by an amount equal to the Current Balance of the
                  relevant Mortgage Loan (together with Arrears of Interest
                  and Accrued Interest) which is not capable of being

                  Mortgage Sale Agreement and/or (for so long as it is the
                  Administrator) the Administration Agreement, in which event
                  the aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in the
                  Mortgage Portfolio shall be deemed for the purposes of
                  making the Trust Property Calculation Adjustments to be

                  the Trust Property pro rata in accordance with the Funding

                  or there is held to its order, or it receives, or there is
                  received to its order, any property, interest, right or

                  of the Trust Property has been reduced or deemed reduced
                  such property, interest, right or benefit will constitute a
                  Revenue Receipt and the Mortgages Trustee will remit, assign

                  accordance with the Funding Proportion and the Funding 2
                  Proportion (but only if and to the extent that the related
                  reductions or deemed reductions were applied against the

                  and thereafter to the Seller, as the case may require, and
                  until it does so or to the extent that the Mortgages Trustee
                  is unable to effect such remittance, assignment or transfer,

         (1)      the Seller has assigned New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages
                  Trustee; or

         (2)      a Funding Beneficiary has made a Contribution (excluding a

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

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

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

                  p =      8%;

                  q =      the sum of (i) the "Flexible Cash Re-Draw Capacity",
                           being an amount equal to the difference between (1)
                           the maximum amount of Cash Re-draws that Borrowers
                           may draw under Flexible Mortgage Loans included in
                           the Mortgage Portfolio (whether or not drawn) as at
                           the last day of the immediately preceding Trust
                           Calculation Period and (2) the aggregate Current
                           Balance of Cash Re-draws in respect of Mortgage
                           Loans included in the Mortgage Portfolio as at the
                           last day of the immediately preceding Trust
                           Calculation Period; and (ii) the "Further Draw
                           Capacity", being an amount equal to the difference
                           between (1) the maximum amount of Further Draws
                           that Borrowers

                           drawn) as at the last day of the immediately
                           preceding Trust Calculation Period and (2) the
                           aggregate Current Balance of Personal Secured Loans
                           which are included in the Mortgage Portfolio as at
                           the last day of the immediately preceding Trust
                           Calculation Period; and

                  r =      3; and

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

9.3      Recalculation of Minimum Seller Share following occurrence of
         exceptional events

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

                        (a)   any deficiency recorded on the Issuer Principal

                              Distribution Date, but only to the extent that
                              such deficiency has arisen as a result of (i)
                              Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated by
                              Funding to that Issuer and/or (ii) the
                              application of Funding Available Principal
                              Receipts to fund the Issuer Liquidity Reserve

                              other principal deficiency of that Issuer; and

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

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

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

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

11.2     Distribution of Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts on or after the
         occurrence of an Asset Trigger Event

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

         (a)      if the immediately preceding Distribution Date was a Seller
                  Share Event Distribution Date, all of the Mortgages Trustee
                  Retained Principal Receipts to Funding and Funding 2 in no
                  order of priority among them and pro rata in accordance with
                  the Funding Proportion and the Funding 2 Proportion; and
                  then

                                      37
<PAGE>

         (b)      among Funding, Funding 2 and the Seller, in no order of
                  priority among them and pro rata according to their
                  respective Shares of the Trust Property until the Funding
                  Share and the Funding 2 Share of the Trust Property are
                  reduced to zero (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such
                  payments may reduce the Seller Share of the Trust Property
                  to an amount less than the Minimum Seller Share).
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Assignment Date or a
                  Contribution Date has occurred during the Trust Calculation
                  Period immediately preceding any such Distribution Date, the
                  Cash Manager will apply all Mortgages Trustee Principal
                  Receipts remaining after (a) above among Funding, Funding 2
                  and the Seller in no order of priority between them but in
                  proportion to the Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage,
                  the Weighted Average Funding 2 Share Percentage and the
                  Weighted Average Seller Share Percentage, each in respect of
                  Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts, for that Distribution
                  Date until the Funding Share and Funding 2 Share of the
                  Trust Property is zero.

11.3     Distribution of Principal Receipts on or after the occurrence of a
         Non-Asset Trigger Event

         On or after the occurrence of a Non-Asset Trigger Event and until the
         occurrence of an Asset Trigger Event, the Cash Manager (at the
         direction of the Mortgages Trustee acting on behalf of the
         Beneficiaries at their direction and with their consent which is
         hereby given) shall, on each Distribution Date (including, if
         applicable, any Distribution Date on which a Non-Asset Trigger Event
         occurs), apply all Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to Funding
         and Funding 2 in no order of priority among them and pro rata in
         accordance with the Funding Proportion and the Funding 2 Proportion
         until the Funding Share and the Funding 2 Share of the Trust Property
         have been reduced to zero and shall thereafter, on each Distribution
         Date, apply all Mortgages Trustee Principal Receipts to the Seller.

12.      ALLOCATION OF LOSSES

12.1     Subject as provided otherwise herein (including Clause 8.5
         (Adjustments to Trust Property) of this Deed), all Losses sustained
         on the Mortgage Loans (other than any Personal Secured Loans) during
         a Trust Calculation Period shall be applied in reducing pro rata the
         Funding Share of the Trust Property, the Funding 2 Share of the Trust
         Property and the Seller Share of the Trust Property on the
         Distribution Date immediately succeeding such Trust Calculation
         Period by multiplying the Losses sustained in the relevant Trust
         Calculation Period by the Funding Share Percentage and the Funding 2
         Share Percentage, respectively, (in each case as calculated on the
         Distribution Date immediately preceding such Trust Calculation
         Period) until the Funding Share of the Trust Property and the Funding
         2 Share of the Trust Property are both zero, PROVIDED THAT if during
         the Trust Calculation Period immediately preceding a Distribution
         Date the Seller has sold and assigned New Mortgage Loans to the
         Mortgages Trustee or if Funding or Funding 2 made a Further
         Contribution to the Mortgages Trustee to increase the Funding Share
         or the Funding 2 Share of the Trust Property, such Losses shall be
         multiplied by the Weighted Average Funding Share Percentage and the
         Weighted Average Funding 2 Share Percentage, as applicable (in each
         case as calculated on such Distribution Date pursuant to Clause
         8.3(A)(3) or 8.3(B)(3) above) rather than the Funding Share
         Percentage and/or the Funding 2 Share Percentage. The remainder of
         such Losses shall be allocated to the Seller.

                                      38
<PAGE>

12.2     All losses sustained during a Trust Calculation Period on Personal
         Secured Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio shall be applied first to
         reduce the Seller Share of the Trust Property (including, for the
         avoidance of doubt, that portion of the Seller Share which represents
         the Minimum Seller Share) on the Distribution Date immediately
         succeeding such Trust Calculation Period until the Seller Share is
         zero and thereafter shall be applied to reduce the Funding Share and
         the Funding 2 Share of the Trust Property on a pro rata basis in
         accordance with the Funding Proportion and the Funding 2 Proportion.

13.      OVERPAYMENTS

13.1     Non-Flexible Mortgage Loans

         The Mortgages Trustee shall not distribute to the Beneficiaries any
         Overpayment in respect of any Non-Flexible Mortgage Loan which does
         not constitute a Capital Payment until the first Distribution Date
         following 31st December of the year in which such Overpayment is
         received, save to the extent that any such Overpayment by a Borrower

         The Mortgages Trustee must not prosecute or defend any legal or other

24.3     No Implied Duties

         The duties and obligations of the Mortgages Trustee under the

         the Mortgages Trustee under any of the other Transaction Documents).
         The Mortgages Trustee shall not be liable under this Deed except for
         the performance of such duties and obligations as shall be
         specifically set forth in this Deed. No implied covenants or
         obligations shall be read into this Deed against the Mortgages

         hereunder) shall be liable to each other, in the absence of wilful
         default, gross negligence or breach of the terms of this Deed, in
         respect of any loss or damage which arises out of the exercise or
         attempted or purported exercise or failure to exercise any of their
         respective powers.

         The Mortgages Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting
         on, or in refraining from acting in accordance with, any resolution,

         certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
         consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed

         such opinion, advice, certificate or information may be sent or
         obtained by letter, telemessage, telex, cable or facsimile device and
         the Mortgages Trustee shall not be liable for acting on any opinion,
         advice, certificate or information purporting to be so conveyed
         although the same shall contain some error or shall not be authentic,
         provided that such error or lack of authenticity shall not be
         manifest.

24.7     MIG Policies

         The Mortgages Trustee is not required to maintain any MIG Policy with
         the then-current insurer and may contract for mortgage indemnity
         guarantee protection from any insurer then providing MIG insurance
         policies, subject to prior agreement with the Rating Agencies and
         confirmation that the then-current ratings by the Rating Agencies (or
         any of them) of the Notes issued by any Issuer would not be adversely
         affected.

            the Mortgages Trust Deed) available for payment on such date and in
            an amount equal to the Deferred Contribution for the Funding Share
            of the Trust Property paid by Funding to the Mortgages Trustee on
            such date or in respect of which the payment of such Deferred
            Contribution is otherwise satisfied on such date in accordance with
            the Mortgages Trust Deed; and

      (c)   a final amount of Deferred Purchase Price in respect of the Mortgage
            Portfolio shall be paid by the Mortgages Trustee to the Seller
            following the receipt by the Mortgages Trustee from Funding of any
            Final Deferred Contribution, which payment shall be in an amount
            equal to such Final Deferred Contribution for the Funding Share of
            the Trust Property paid by Funding to the Mortgages Trustee or in

      Seller as part of the Deferred Purchase Price any and all Early Repayment
      Charge Receipts received by the Mortgages Trustee in respect of the

      if any Mortgage Loans in respect of which Early Repayment Charges are
      payable are the subject of a trust pursuant to Clause 5.1 (Trust in favour
      of Mortgages Trustee), the Seller, the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the
      Security Trustee agree that the benefit of any Early Repayment Charges
      payable in respect of such Mortgage Loan shall, on the date of payment to

      and (in either case) the Mortgages Trustee's agreement in Clause 4.8

      Assignment Date specified in the New Mortgage Portfolio Notice the Seller
      agrees that it shall sell and assign to the Mortgages Trustee the relevant
      New Mortgage Portfolio with full title guarantee (or, in relation to
      assets and rights situated in or governed by the law of Scotland, with
      absolute warrandice), PROVIDED THAT (a) the Seller hereby covenants and
      undertakes that it will not sell and assign New Mortgage Loans to the

      Distribution Date in such Trust Calculation Period, and (b) the Seller
      hereby agrees that it is only permitted to make one sale and assignment of
      New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages Trustee during any Trust Calculation

4.2.  Conditions to Effecting an Assignment of New Mortgage Loans: The
      conditions to be met as at each Assignment Date in order to effect a sale
      and assignment of New Mortgage Loans are:

      (a)   the aggregate Arrears of Interest in respect of all of the Mortgage
            Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio, as a percentage of the aggregate
            gross interest due during the previous 12 months on all Mortgage
            Loans outstanding during all or part of such period, does not exceed
            2 per cent., or such other percentage as agreed to by the Rating
            Agencies on such Assignment Date. "Arrears of Interest" for this
            purpose in respect of a Mortgage Loan on any date means the
            aggregate amount overdue on the Mortgage Loan on that date, but only
            where such aggregate amount overdue equals or exceeds an amount
            equal to the Monthly Payment then due on the Mortgage Loan and such
            amount has been overdue for an entire calendar month;

      (b)   the long term, unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt
            obligations of the Seller are rated no lower than A3 by Moody's and
            A- by Fitch at the time of, and immediately following, the
            assignment of the New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages Trustee;

      (c)   on the relevant Assignment Date, the aggregate Current Balance of
            the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio, in respect of which
            the aggregate amount is then in arrears for at least 3 months, is
            less than 4 per cent. of the aggregate Current Balance of all
            Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio on

                                       5
<PAGE>

            such Assignment Date, unless the Rating Agencies have confirmed that
            the then current ratings of the Notes will not be adversely
            affected;

      (d)   the Lending Criteria applicable at the time of origination of a
            relevant New Mortgage Loan have been applied to such New Mortgage
            Loan and to the circumstances of the Borrower at the time such New
            Mortgage Loan was made, provided that material variations from such
            Lending Criteria may occur so long as the Rating Agencies have been
            notified of any such material variations;

      (e)   no New Mortgage Loan has on the relevant Assignment Date an
            aggregate amount in arrears which is greater than the amount of the
            Monthly Payment then due;

      (f)   the Rating Agencies have not provided written confirmation to the
            Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Security Trustee and any Issuer that
            the assignment to the Mortgages Trustee of the New Mortgage Loans on
            the Assignment Date will adversely affect the then current ratings
            of the existing Notes of any Issuer (provided that, in respect of
            the assignment by the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee of a New
            Mortgage Portfolio in connection with the issuance by an Issuer of
            Notes and the drawing by a Funding Beneficiary of a loan pursuant to
            an Intercompany Loan Agreement, the condition to be met at the
            relevant Assignment Date of such New Mortgage Portfolio will be that
            the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing to the Mortgages
            Trustee, each Funding Security Trustee and such Issuer that the
            assignment to the Mortgages Trustee of the New Mortgage Portfolio on
            such Assignment Date will not cause the then current ratings of the
            existing Notes of any Issuer to be reduced, withdrawn or qualified);

      (g)   the aggregate Current Balance of New Mortgage Loans transferred in
            any one Interest Period does not exceed 10 per cent. of the
            aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
            Portfolio as at the beginning of that Interest Period;

      (h)   each Issuer Reserve Fund is fully funded on the relevant Assignment
            Date up to the relevant required amount or, if any Issuer Reserve
            Fund is not so fully funded, no payments have been made from such
            Issuer Reserve Fund;

      (i)   the Funding 2 Reserve Fund is fully funded on the relevant
            Assignment Date up to the relevant required amount or, if the
            Funding 2 Reserve Fund is not so fully funded, no payments have been
            made from it;

      (j)   no Intercompany Loan Enforcement Notice has been served in respect
            of any Intercompany Loan;

      (k)   the assignment of the New Mortgage Portfolio on the relevant
            Assignment Date does not result in the product of WAFF and WALS for
            the Mortgage Portfolio after such purchase, calculated on the
            relevant Assignment Date in the same way as for the Initial Mortgage
            Portfolio (or as agreed by the Administrator and Standard & Poor's
            and Fitch from time to time), exceeding

                                       6
<PAGE>

            the product of WAFF and WALS for the Mortgage Portfolio calculated
            on the most recent preceding Closing Date plus 0.25 per cent.;

      (l)   the assignment of New Mortgage Loans does not result in the Moody's
            Portfolio Variation Test Value of the Mortgage Loans in the
            Mortgages Portfolio after such assignment (calculated by applying
            the Moody's Portfolio Variation Test to such Mortgage Loans on such
            Assignment Date), exceeding the most recently determined Moody's
            Portfolio Variation Test Threshold Value as calculated in relation
            to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio as the most recent
            date on which Moody's performed a full pool analysis on the
            Mortgages Portfolio plus 0.30%;

      (m)   to the extent necessary, each Funding Beneficiary and/or each
            Issuer, as applicable, has entered into appropriate hedging
            arrangements in respect of such New Mortgage Loans before such
            Mortgage Loans are assigned to the Mortgage Trust;

      (n)   no event of default under the Transaction Documents has occurred
            which is continuing as at the relevant Assignment Date;

      (o)   the weighted average yield on the Mortgage Portfolio together with
            the New Mortgage Portfolio to be assigned to the Mortgages Trustee
            on the relevant Assignment Date is not less than LIBOR for
            three-month sterling deposits plus 0.50 per cent., taking into
            account the weighted average yield on the Mortgage Loans and the
            margins on any Basis Rate Swaps as at the relevant Assignment Date;

      (p)   no New Mortgage Loan has a maturity date on or after January 2052
            and, prior to the redemption in full of all Notes issued by the
            Funding Issuers, (a) the aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans
            in the Mortgage Portfolio on the relevant Assignment Date (and after
            the assignment of the New Mortgage Loans on such date) with a final
            maturity falling prior to January 2039, expressed as a percentage of
            the aggregate Current Balance of all Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
            Portfolio on the relevant Assignment Date (and after the assignment
            of the New Mortgage Loans on such date) is not less than (b) the
            Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes issued by the Funding
            Issuers and by the Funding 2 Issuers and outstanding on such
            Assignment Date (after taking into account any redemptions of such
            Notes to be made on such date) with a Final Maturity Date (as
            specified in the terms and conditions of such Notes) falling in or
            prior to December 2044, expressed as a percentage of the Outstanding
            Principal Balance of all Notes issued by the Funding Issuers and by
            the Funding 2 Issuers and outstanding on such Assignment Date (after
            taking into account any redemptions of such Notes to be made on such
            date);

      (q)   the related Borrower under each New Mortgage Loan has made at least
            one Monthly Payment;

      (r)   for so long as any Notes issued by any Issuer that have a Final
            Repayment Date earlier than January 2041 are outstanding, the
            assignment of New Mortgage Loans to the Mortgages Trustee may only
            occur if, following such assignment, the aggregate number of
            Repayment Mortgage Loans in the

                                       7
<PAGE>

            Mortgage Portfolio is greater than or equal to 25 per cent. of the
            aggregate number of Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio;

      (s)   the Rating Agencies have provided written confirmation that the then
            current ratings on the Notes of any Issuer would not be adversely
            affected by the assignment to the Mortgages Trustee of a New
            Mortgage Loan in respect of a mortgage loan product having
            characteristics and/or features that differ materially from the
            characteristics and/or features of the Mortgage Loans in the Initial
            Mortgage Portfolio;

      (t)   following the purchase by the Mortgages Trustee of any New Mortgage
            Portfolio, the aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in the
            Mortgage Portfolio that are subject to a maximum rate of interest
            and which charge interest at the lesser of the Seller's Standard
            Variable Rate and the maximum rate of interest (as specified in the
            relevant Mortgage Conditions) (the "Capped Rate Mortgage Loans")
            will not exceed 3 per. cent of the aggregate Current Balance of all
            Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio (including such Capped Rate
            Mortgage Loans) as of such Assignment Date, unless Moody's has
            confirmed in writing that the then current ratings of the Notes will
            not be adversely affected,

      PROVIDED THAT, if an Initial Purchase Price is payable to the Seller by
      the Mortgages Trustee on the relevant Assignment Date, only the conditions
      set out in paragraphs (e), (f), (j), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q) and (s) are
      required to be satisfied to effect an assignment of the New Mortgage
      Loans.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mortgages Trustee may waive or vary any
      of the conditions set forth in Clause 4.2 provided that each of the Rating
      Agencies has confirmed in writing (whether or not such confirmation is
      addressed to the Mortgages Trustee) that the relevant waiver or variation
      will not adversely affect the then current ratings of the existing Notes
      of any Issuer or that it approves the relevant waiver or variation.

4.3.  No Further Assignment: The Seller and the Mortgages Trustee agree that the
      Seller may not sell and assign any New Mortgage Portfolio after the
      earlier to occur of:

      (a)   the Step-up Date in respect of the Notes of any Funding Issuer if
            the option to redeem any such Notes on the related Step-up Date
            pursuant to Condition 5(D) of those Notes is not exercised; or

      (b)   the Step-up Date in respect of the Notes of any Funding 2 Issuer if
            the option to redeem any such Notes on the related Step-up Date
            pursuant to Condition 5(D) of those Notes is not exercised and the
            aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of such Notes (together with
            any other Notes of such Funding 2 Issuer in respect of which the
            applicable Step-Up Date has occurred) as at such Step-Up Date
            exceeds (GBP)1,000,000,000; or

      (c)   the date falling 12 months after the Step-Up Date (the "twelve month
            date") in respect of any Series and Class of Notes of any Funding 2
            Issuer, if the option to redeem any such Notes on or before such
            twelve month date pursuant to the terms and conditions of such Notes
            is not exercised.

      certificate or instrument (in each case, the "Relevant Document") is
      available under (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) above and whilst the Funding

      delivery to both of them.

4.5.  Purchase Price: Subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to in
      Clauses 4.2 (Conditions to Effecting an Assignment of New Mortgage Loans),

            Deed), PROVIDED THAT if on any date the Seller is obliged to
            repurchase any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans pursuant to Clause
            8.4 (Repurchase), 8.5 (Purchase of Product

      relevant Assignment Date or, if no Initial Purchase Price is payable on
      such date, the confirmation from the Seller of the fulfilment of the
      conditions referred to in Clauses 4.2 (Conditions to Effecting an
      Assignment of New Mortgage Loans) and the delivery to each Funding
      Security Trustee of the documents referred to in Clause 4.4 (Closing and
      Conditions Precedent) on such date, will be the assignment and transfer to
      the Mortgages Trustee of the beneficial ownership of, and all of the
      Seller's beneficial right, title, interest and benefit in and to, the New
      Mortgage Portfolio subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgages
      Trust Deed. Upon payment to the Seller by the Mortgages Trustee of the
      Initial Purchase Price on the relevant Assignment Date or, if no Initial
      Purchase Price is payable on such date, upon receipt of confirmation from
      the Seller of the fulfilment of the conditions referred to in Clauses 4.2
      (Conditions to Effecting an Assignment of New Mortgage Loans), the fact
      that any of the conditions referred to in Clause 4.2 (Conditions to
      Effecting an Assignment of New Mortgage Loans) may not have been satisfied
      or waived, or any of the conditions precedent set out in Clause 4.4
      (Closing and Conditions Precedent) have not been delivered or waived,
      shall not prevent the sale and assignment of the New Mortgage Portfolio to
      the Mortgages Trustee on the relevant Assignment Date (or prevent any
      Scottish Trust Deed from taking effect) and any unsatisfied conditions
      precedent shall be deemed to have been waived. The foregoing is without
      prejudice to all of the rights and remedies of the Mortgages Trustee
      against the Seller, including without limitation, all claims for breach of
      Representation and Warranty. Each such assignment and transfer will be
      perfected upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Clause 6
      (Perfection of the Assignment) and the transfer and assignation to the
      Mortgages Trustee of legal title to such New Mortgage Portfolio in
      accordance with Clause 6 (Perfection of the Assignment).

4.7.  Documents: The Seller undertakes that from the relevant Assignment Date
      until the perfection of the assignment in accordance with Clause 6.1
      (Perfection Events) and

                                       10
<PAGE>

      the delivery of the Title Deeds in accordance with Clause 6.2
      (Perfection), the Seller shall hold the deeds and documents constituting
      the Title Deeds and Mortgage Loan Files and all other certificates,
      notices, policies, endorsements and other matters necessary to establish
      title thereto relating to the Mortgage Portfolio that are in its
      possession or under its control or held to its order to the order of the
      Mortgages Trustee or as the Mortgages Trustee shall direct.

4.8.  Early Repayment Charges: The Mortgages Trustee hereby agrees to pay to the
      Seller as part of the Deferred Purchase Price any and all Early Repayment
      Charge Receipts received by the Mortgages Trustee in respect of the
      Mortgage Loans included in the New Mortgage Portfolio PROVIDED THAT, if
      any Mortgage Loans in respect of which Early Repayment Charges are payable
      are the subject of a trust pursuant to Clause 5.1 (Trust in favour of
      Mortgages Trustee), the Seller, the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding
      Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee agree that the benefit of
      any Early Repayment Charges payable in respect of such Mortgage Loan
      shall, on the date of payment to the Seller of the related Early Repayment
      Charge Receipts, be released from such trust.

4.9.  Insurance: The Seller shall as soon as reasonably practical after
      completion of the sale and assignment of each New Mortgage Portfolio
      procure that the respective interests of the Mortgages Trustee, each
      Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee are noted by the
      relevant insurers in relation to each Insurance Contract.

4.10. Mortgage Portfolio: Prior to the earliest to occur of:

      (a)   a Trigger Event; and

      (b)   if Funding does not enter into a New Intercompany Loan Agreement,
            the Payment Date in January 2008; and

      (c)   on each occasion that Funding enters into a New Intercompany Loan
            Agreement, the latest Payment Date specified by Funding by notice in
            writing to the Seller and the Mortgages Trustee as applying in
            relation to this covenant; and

      (d)   on each occasion that Funding 2 enters into a Funding 2 Intercompany
            Loan Agreement or receives a further advance under any existing
            Funding 2 Intercompany Loan Agreement, the latest Loan Payment Date
            specified by Funding 2 by notice in writing to the Seller and the
            Mortgages Trustee as applying in relation to this covenant,

      the Seller undertakes to use all reasonable efforts to offer to sell and
      assign, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 4 (Sale and
      Purchase of New Mortgage Portfolios), to the Mortgages Trustee, and the
      Mortgages Trustee undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to acquire
      from the Seller and to hold pursuant to the terms of the Mortgages Trust
      Deed, sufficient New Mortgage Loans and their Related Security so that the
      Overcollateralisation Test is not breached on three consecutive
      Distribution Dates PROVIDED THAT the Seller shall not be obliged to sell
      and assign to the Mortgages Trustee, and the Mortgages Trustee shall not
      be obliged to acquire, New Mortgage Loans and their Related Security if in
      the opinion of the Seller the sale and

                                       11
<PAGE>

      assignment to the Mortgages Trustee of New Mortgage Loans and their
      Related Security would adversely affect the business of the Seller.

      For the purposes of this Clause 4.10, the "Overcollateralisation Test"
      shall be calculated on each Distribution Date and shall be breached on any
      Distribution Date where the aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in
      the Mortgage Portfolio on such Distribution Date is less than an amount
      equal to the product of 1.05 and the aggregate Principal Amount
      Outstanding of all Notes of all Issuers at such Distribution Date, and for
      this purpose:

            (i)   where such Notes outstanding are Controlled Amortisation Notes
                  or Scheduled Redemption Notes, the aggregate Principal Amount
                  Outstanding of such Notes will be calculated on a
                  straight-line basis by applying the appropriate "CPR" (being
                  the CPR rate most recently calculated by the Administrator and
                  detailed in the most recent report provided under Clause
                  12.4(a) of the Administration Agreement) to such Notes on a
                  monthly, rather than a quarterly basis; and

            (ii)  where such Notes outstanding are Bullet Redemption Notes, the
                  amount standing to the credit of the Funding 2 Cash
                  Accumulation Ledger will be deducted from the aggregate
                  Principal Amount Outstanding of such Notes.

5.    Trust of Monies

5.1.  Trust in favour of Mortgages Trustee: Notwithstanding the assignment and
      transfer effected by this Agreement (or by any Scottish Trust Deed made
      pursuant hereto) if at, or at any other time after, the Initial Closing
      Date or, as the case may be in respect of any New Mortgage Portfolio, the
      relevant Assignment Date (but prior to any repurchase in accordance with
      Clause 8.5 (Purchase of Product Switches, Further Advances and purchases
      relating to Personal Secured Loans)) the Seller holds, or there is held to
      its order, or it receives, or there is received to its order any property,
      interest, right or benefit and/or the proceeds thereof hereby agreed to be
      sold to the Mortgages Trustee, the Seller undertakes with the Mortgages
      Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee that
      it will hold such property, interest, right or benefit and/or the proceeds
      thereof upon trust for the Mortgages Trustee (pursuant, in the case of any
      property, interest, right or benefit and/or the proceeds thereof relating
      to a Scottish Mortgage Loan or its Related Security, to the relevant
      Scottish Trust Deed) subject at all times to the Mortgages Trust. In
      addition, if for any reason the assignment and transfer of the Initial
      Mortgage Portfolio, or any New Mortgage Portfolio (or any part thereof),
      or any property, interest, right or benefit therein or any of the proceeds
      thereof (each a "relevant asset"), is held to be ineffective or
      unenforceable against any Borrower, the Seller undertakes with the
      Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security
      Trustee and hereby declares that it will hold such relevant asset upon
      trust for the Mortgages Trustee. The Mortgages Trustee agrees that it will
      hold its beneficial interest in such relevant asset subject at all times
      to the Mortgages Trust.

5.2.  Trust in favour of Seller: If at, or any time after, the Initial Closing
      Date (in the case of the Initial Mortgage Portfolio) or the relevant
      Assignment Date (in the case of any New Mortgage Portfolio), the Mortgages
      Trustee holds, or there is held to its order, or

                                       12
<PAGE>

      it receives, or there is received to its order, any property, interest,
      right or benefit relating to:

      (a)   any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans under a Mortgage Account and
            their Related Security repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Clause
            8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller); or

      (b)   (without prejudice to Clause 10 (Consequences of Breach)) any Early
            Repayment Charges payable by a Borrower in respect of any Mortgage
            Loan in the Mortgages Trust;

      and/or the proceeds thereof, the Mortgages Trustee undertakes with the
      Seller that it will remit, assign or transfer the same to the Seller, as
      the case may require, and until it does so or to the extent that the
      Mortgages Trustee is unable to effect such remittance, assignment or
      transfer, the Mortgages Trustee undertakes to hold such property,
      interest, right or benefit and/or the proceeds thereof upon trust for the
      Seller as the sole beneficial owner thereof or as the Seller may direct
      provided that the Mortgages Trustee shall not be in breach of its
      obligations under this Clause 5 if, having received any such moneys and
      paid them to third parties in error, it pays (at the direction of the
      Beneficiaries) to the Seller an amount equal to the moneys so paid in
      error in accordance with the Administration Agreement. In addition, if the
      Seller is required or elects to repurchase any Mortgage Loan and its
      Related Security pursuant to Clauses 8.4 (Repurchase), 8.5 (Purchase of
      Product Switches, Further Advances and purchases relating to Personal
      Secured Loans) or 8.6 (Repurchase of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans) and such
      Mortgage Loan or its Related Security, or any part thereof, or any
      property, interest, right or benefit therein or any of the proceeds
      thereof (each, a "relevant asset"), is held by the Seller subject to a
      trust pursuant to Clause 5.1 (Trust in favour of Mortgages Trustee), then
      the Seller, the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each
      Funding Security Trustee agree that such relevant asset shall be released
      from the trust constituted pursuant to Clause 5.1 (Trust in favour of
      Mortgages Trustee) on the date that such relevant asset would otherwise
      have been repurchased or re-transferred pursuant to Clause 8.7 (Completion
      of Repurchase).

<PAGE>

            provided that the perfection of an assignment of the Mortgage
            Portfolio shall not be required if the sole reason for the service
            of any Note Enforcement Notice (on any Funding Issuer) or any Issuer
            Enforcement Notice (on any Funding 2 Issuer) is a default by a Swap
            Provider of any Issuer;

      (b)   unless otherwise agreed by the Rating Agencies, the termination of
            the Seller's role as Administrator under the Administration

      (c)   the Seller being required by an order of a court of competent
            jurisdiction, or by a change in law occurring after the Initial
            Closing Date, or by a regulatory authority of which the Seller is a
            member or with whose instructions it is customary that the Seller

            and the Related Security in favour of the Mortgages Trustee; or (d)
            the security under:

            (i)   the Funding Deed of Charge or any material part of such
                  security; or

            (ii)  the Funding 2 Deed of Charge or any material part of such
                  security,

            being in jeopardy and it being necessary to perfect the transfer of
            legal title to the Mortgage Loans and their Related Security in
            favour of the Mortgages Trustee in order to reduce such jeopardy
            materially; or

      (e)   the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation to the Seller; or

      (f)   notice in writing from the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee and each
            Funding Beneficiary (with a copy to each Funding Security Trustee)

      Seller shall perfect the assignments as contemplated by and in accordance
      with this Clause 6 (Perfection of the Assignment) in relation to all

                  duly executed by the Seller; and

            (ii)  give formal notice of the transfers and assignations to the

      and perform their obligations under) the Mortgage Conditions and the
      Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to each Mortgage Loan comprised in the
      Mortgage Portfolio and their Related Security in accordance with the
      Administration Procedures (for so long as these exist and thereafter in

      mortgage lender in the conduct of its business).

7.2.  Reimbursement of Borrower: The Seller hereby undertakes with the Mortgages
      Trustee and each Funding Beneficiary that, in the event that any Borrower

      the relevant Mortgage Loan.

7.3.  Seller Ratings: The Seller hereby undertakes with the Mortgages Trustee,
      each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee that if the
      long term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt obligations of
      the Seller cease to be assigned a long term credit rating:

      (a)   from Moody's of no lower than Baal or from Fitch of no lower than
            BBB+, the Seller (unless Moody's or Fitch, as applicable, confirms

            Notification to Borrowers); and

      (b)   from S&P of no lower than BBB-, from Moody's of no lower than Baa3
            or from Fitch of no lower than BBB-, the Seller (unless S&P, Moody's

            the Notes will not be adversely affected) shall within 10 Business
            Days of such cessation give notice of the sale and assignment
            effected by this Agreement (and, in the case of any Scottish
            Mortgage Loan, the making of the relevant Scottish Trust Deed) to
            each Borrower with a Mortgage Loan then in the Mortgage Portfolio in
            the form set out in Schedule 8 (Form of Notification to Borrowers)
            (and if the Seller fails to give such notice, then the Mortgages
            Trustee shall give such notice as the Seller's attorney under the
            power of attorney set out in Schedule 10 (Power of Attorney in
            favour of the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each
            Funding Security Trustee)),

      (c)   provided that, in respect of Clause 7.3(a), should the Seller be
            required as described in such Clause to provide the details of the
            names and addresses of Borrowers to the Mortgages Trustee and/or
            each Funding Beneficiary, the Mortgages Trustee and each Funding
            Beneficiary (to the extent, in respect of Funding, that such
            information is to be delivered to Funding other than at its United
            Kingdom branch office) hereby agrees to appoint an agent that is
            located in the United Kingdom and which maintains all appropriate
            registrations, notifications, licences and authorities (if any)
            required under the Data Protection Act 1998 to receive and maintain
            such information on its behalf, and under no circumstances shall
            either the Mortgages Trustee or Funding accept such information at
            its Jersey registered office or otherwise in Jersey (unless Jersey
            is declared an "approved state" by the European

                                       17

            Commission, in which case such data may be delivered to the
            Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding at their respective Jersey
            offices).

7.4.  Pending Perfection: The Seller undertakes to the Mortgages Trustee, each
      Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee that, pending
      perfection under Clause 6 (Perfection of the Assignment), the Seller:

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

      (b)   shall, if reasonably required so to do by the Mortgages Trustee,
            participate or join in and lend its name to and take such other
            steps as may reasonably be required by the Mortgages Trustee in
            relation to, any legal proceedings in respect of the Mortgage Loans
            and their Related Security to the extent necessary to protect,
            preserve and enforce the Seller's or the Mortgages Trustee's or any
            Funding Beneficiary's or any Funding Security Trustee's title to or
            interest in any Mortgage Loan or its Related Security provided that
            the Seller is reimbursed, subject to and in accordance with the
            relevant priority of payments under and in accordance with the
            Transaction Documents, by the Mortgages Trustee and the Funding
            Beneficiaries for the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such
            proceedings.

7.5.  Responsibility of Seller: The Seller hereby further undertakes with the
      Mortgages Trustee and each Funding Beneficiary that it is and at all times
      shall remain solely responsible for any Product Switches (other than a
      Re-Fixed Mortgage Loan), for funding any Cash Re-Draws made by a Borrower
      under the Mortgage Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to
      a Flexible Mortgage Loan, for funding any request for any Further Advance
      made by a Borrower, for funding any request for any Further Draw under a
      Personal Secured Loan and for paying to the Mortgages Trustee from time to
      time an amount equal to the Unpaid Interest associated with any Non-Cash
      Re-Draw made by a Borrower under the Mortgage Conditions and the Mortgage
      Loan Agreement relating to a Flexible Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of
      doubt, neither the Mortgages Trustee nor any Funding Beneficiary will be
      required to advance moneys to the Seller or to a Borrower in order to fund
      such a Re-Draw or Further Advance or Further Draw in any circumstances
      whatsoever.

7.6.  Product Switches and Further Advances:

      (a)   The Administrator shall not:

            (i)   accept an application from, or issue to any Borrower any offer
                  of a Further Advance; or

            (ii)  accept an application from, or issue to any Borrower any offer
                  of a Product Switch (except in relation to the exercise of an
                  option by any Borrower for a new fixed rate under a Fixed Rate
                  Mortgage Loan),

                                       18
<PAGE>

            without first having given notice in writing to the Seller seeking
            confirmation from the Seller that the Seller will repurchase the
            Mortgage Loan to which such offer relates from the Mortgages Trustee
            in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      (b)   If the Seller gives such confirmation to the Administrator, the
            Administrator shall then issue to that Borrower the relevant offer
            referred to in paragraph (a) above on behalf of the Seller and shall
            (in the case of any offer referred to in paragraph (a) above) then
            notify the Seller and Mortgages Trustee in writing as soon as the
            Administrator has accepted the mortgage documentation completed by
            the Borrower in relation to such offer.

      (c)   The Mortgages Trustee shall not itself offer or make any Product
            Switch or Further Advance (except in relation to the exercise of an
            option by any Borrower for a new fixed rate under a Fixed Rate
            Mortgage Loan).

7.7.  Standard Variable Rate: Subject to the provisions of Clause 7.9
      (Shortfall), the Seller covenants with and undertakes to the Mortgages
      Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee that,
      where the Administrator determines on any date that there will be a
      Shortfall during the next succeeding Interest Period and notifies the
      Seller to such effect, the Seller shall take all steps which are
      necessary, including publishing any notice which is required in accordance
      with the Mortgage Conditions, to set the Standard Variable Rate and such
      other discretionary rates and margins applicable to the Mortgage Loans at
      such levels as may be notified to the Seller by the Mortgages Trustee, any
      Funding Beneficiary or any Funding Security Trustee (which rates shall be
      the same rates as previously notified to the Mortgages Trustee, each
      Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee in accordance with
      Clause 4.3(b) of the Administration Agreement) as being the rates required
      in order for no Shortfall to arise.

7.8.  Security Powers of Attorney: On the Funding 2 Programme Date, the Seller
      shall grant security powers of attorney to the Mortgages Trustee, each
      Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee in the form set out
      in Part 2 of Schedule 10 (Power of Attorney in favour of the Mortgages
      Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee)
      allowing the Mortgages Trustee, any Funding Beneficiary and/or any Funding
      Security Trustee and their delegates from time to time (inter alia) to set
      the Standard Variable Rate, such other discretionary rates and margins
      applicable to the Mortgage Loans and (save for any Funding Security
      Trustee) the rate of (and terms relating to) the Existing Borrowers'
      Re-Fix Rate should the Seller fail to do so in accordance with its
      obligations under this Agreement, but only to the extent that such rates
      have been previously notified to the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding
      Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee in accordance with Clause
      4.3(b) of the Administration Agreement. On the delivery of such power of
      attorney in accordance with the previous sentence, the parties hereto
      agree that the power of attorney delivered by the Seller on 26 March 2001
      in accordance with Clause 3.1(a) shall terminate and be of no further
      effect. Nothing in this Clause 7.8 shall prevent the Seller (or any of its
      attorneys from time to time) from setting a higher Northern Rock Standard
      Variable Rate or higher rates for other discretionary rates and margins
      (or in the case of the Existing Borrowers' Re-Fix Rate setting a higher
      rate and imposing terms more advantageous to the Mortgages Trustee) than
      those to be set or

                                       19
<PAGE>

      required by the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and/or (other
      than in respect to an Existing Borrower's Re-Fix Rate) each Funding
      Security Trustee.

7.9.  Shortfall: Unless the Mortgages Trustee, any Funding Beneficiary or any
      Funding Security Trustee needs to do so to avoid a Shortfall, none of the
      Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary or each Funding Security
      Trustee shall set the Standard Variable Rate and other discretionary rates
      and margins for Mortgage Loans which are in the Mortgages Trust
      (disregarding any discounts or additions to it) at rates higher than the
      then equivalent rates for mortgage loans which are not in the Mortgage
      Portfolio.

7.10. Forwarding of Notice: Each Funding Security Trustee undertakes, upon
      receipt of any notice as specified in Clause 8.5(C) of the Mortgages Trust
      Deed, to forward such notice to the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding
      Beneficiary, the Seller and the Cash Manager in the manner set forth in
      Clause 20 (Notices) within three (3) London Business Days of receipt
      thereof. Each Funding Security Trustee shall have no other obligation
      other than the foregoing following receipt of such notice.

8.    Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller

8.1.  Representations and Warranties: The Seller makes the Representations and
      Warranties set out in Schedule 1 (Representations and Warranties) to the
      Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security
      Trustee:

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

      (b)   in relation to each New Mortgage Loan (other than Personal Secured
            Loans if specifically excluded from a Representation and Warranty)
            and its Related Security in a New Mortgage Portfolio, on the date of
            the service of the relevant New Mortgage Portfolio Notice and on the
            relevant Assignment Date;

      (c)   in the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1 (Representations and
            Warranties) in relation to the matters and at the dates set out
            therein; and

      (d)   in the form set out in Part 3 of Schedule 1 (Representations and
            Warranties) in relation to the matters and at the dates set out
            therein.

8.2.  Reliance: The Seller acknowledges that the Representations and Warranties
      are made with a view to inducing the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding
      Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee either to enter into this
      Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which each is a party or
      to agree to purchase the New Mortgage Loans and their Related Security
      comprised in each New Mortgage Portfolio, and that the Mortgages Trustee,
      each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee has entered
      into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
      party in reliance upon the Representations and Warranties notwithstanding
      any information possessed or discoverable by the Mortgages Trustee any
      Funding Beneficiary and/or any Funding Security Trustee. The Mortgages
      Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee
      acknowledges that they have not entered into this Agreement in reliance
      upon any representation, warranty or

                                       20
<PAGE>

      undertaking other than those set out in this Agreement or upon any other
      enquiry, investigation or search whatsoever.

8.3.  Remedies: The sole remedy of the Mortgages Trustee, each Funding
      Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee in respect of a breach of
      any of the Representations and Warranties shall be to take action under
      this Clause 8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller) or under Clause
      8.4 (Adjustments to Trust Property) of the Mortgages Trust Deed.
      Furthermore, in respect of any actual or alleged breach of Clause 8.1
      (Representations and Warranties), the Mortgages Trustee, any Funding
      Beneficiary or any Funding Security Trustee shall, as applicable:

      (a)   notify the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable following any
            claim or intimation of claim by any person of or arising from such
            actual or alleged breach and thereafter keep the Seller informed in
            relation to such claim or intimation;

      (b)   not settle or compromise any such claim made or intimated or
            otherwise do anything which may be prejudicial to the position of
            the Seller in relation thereto having regard to this Agreement,
            except pursuant to the written directions of the Seller or with the
            Seller's prior written approval, such directions and approval not to
            be unreasonably withheld; and

      (c)   comply with the Seller's reasonable directions as to answering,
            disputing, defending, compromising, settling, or otherwise in
            relation to the claim made or initiated (including without
            limitation the instruction of particular legal advisers), and if and
            to the extent required by the Seller, do such things as the Seller
            may reasonably require to enable and authorise the Seller or persons
            nominated by the Seller to answer, dispute, defend, compromise,
            settle or otherwise deal with any such claim or intimated claim, or
            mitigate loss or potential loss on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee,
            subject in each case to the Seller indemnifying the Mortgages
            Trustee each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee
            against the consequences of complying with the Seller's directions
            and requirements.

8.4.  Repurchase: Subject to Clause 8.14 (Repurchase Not Possible), in the event
      of a material breach of any of the Representations or Warranties in
      respect of any Mortgage Loan and/or its Related Security as at the Initial
      Closing Date or, as the case may be, the relevant Assignment Date, which
      could have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan and/or its
      Related Security (having regard to, among other things, whether a loss is
      likely to be incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loan to which the breach
      relates after taking account of the likelihood of recoverability or
      otherwise of any sums under any applicable insurance policies), and
      further provided that:

      (a)   the Mortgages Trustee has, or the Funding Beneficiaries or the
            Funding Security Trustees have, given the Seller not less than 28
            days' notice in writing;

      (b)   the Mortgages Trustee has obtained the consent of the Funding
            Security Trustees; and

                                       21
<PAGE>

      (c)   such breach, where capable of remedy, is not remedied to the
            satisfaction of the Funding Beneficiaries and the Funding Security
            Trustees within the 28 day period referred to in (a) (or such longer
            period as the Funding Beneficiaries and the Funding Security
            Trustees may direct the Mortgages Trustee),

      then at the direction of the Funding Beneficiaries (with the consent of
      the Funding Security Trustees) or the Funding Security Trustees, the
      Mortgages Trustee may serve upon the Seller a notice in the form of the
      Loan Repurchase Notice whereupon the Seller will be required to repurchase
      (i) the relevant Mortgage Loan and its Related Security, (ii) any other
      Mortgage Loan secured or intended to be secured by that Related Security
      or any part of it and (iii) any other Mortgage Loan secured on the same
      Mortgaged Property as the relevant Mortgage Loan to which the breach
      relates in accordance with Clause 8.7 (Completion of Repurchase),
      provided, however, that the Funding Security Trustees shall have no duty
      to provide any such notice to the Seller or consider granting their
      consent pursuant to this Clause 8.4 unless the Funding Security Trustees
      have been notified by a party to a Transaction Document of such material
      breach of such Representation or Warranty which, in the opinion of such
      party (as communicated to the Funding Security Trustees), could have a
      material adverse effect on the related Mortgage Loan and/or its Related
      Security, taking into account the considerations provided in this Clause
      8.4, and further provided that prior to receipt of such notice the Funding
      Security Trustees shall be entitled to assume that no such material breach
      has occurred.

8.5.  Purchase of Product Switches, Further Advances and purchases relating to
      Personal Secured Loans: In the event of there being at any date in respect
      of any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Mortgages Trustee hereunder a
      PS/FA/PSL Event (other than a Mortgage Loan becoming a Re-Fixed Mortgage
      Loan, such PS/FA/PSL Event being dealt with under Clause 8.6 (Repurchase
      of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans)), the Seller may at any time serve notice in
      the form of the Loan Repurchase Notice on the Mortgages Trustee whereupon
      the Mortgages Trustee will be required to sell and to transfer to the
      Seller in accordance with Clause 8.7 (Completion of Repurchase):

      (a)   any Mortgage Loan subject to a PS/FA/PSL Event, together with its
            Related Security;

      (b)   any other Mortgage Loan secured or intended to be secured by the
            Related Security referred to in (a) above or any part of it; and

      (c)   any other Mortgage Loan secured on the same Mortgaged Property that
            secures the Mortgage Loan subject to a PS/FA/PSL Event, together
            with its Related Security,

      each such Mortgage Loan to be identified in the Loan Repurchase Notice
      (any such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, a "PS/FA/PSL Mortgage Loan"),
      free from the Mortgages Trust and any right or interest that any Funding
      Security Trustee may have in such PS/FA/PSL Mortgage Loan and its Related
      Security under the Funding Deed of Charge and/or the Funding 2 Deed of
      Charge (as applicable). Any PS/FA/PSL Mortgage Loan purchased by the
      Seller shall be released from the Mortgages Trust and shall no longer
      constitute part of the Mortgage Portfolio and shall be released from any
      right or interest that any Funding Security Trustee may have had in such

                                       22
<PAGE>

      Mortgage Loan and its Related Security under the Funding Deed of Charge
      and/or the Funding 2 Deed of Charge (as applicable) prior to such
      repurchase.

8.6.  Repurchase of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans:

      (a)   Where a Mortgage Loan bears interest at a fixed rate for a certain
            period (the "initial fixed rate period"), after the expiry of which
            the Borrower is entitled to exercise an option for a new fixed rate
            (whether or not subject to certain conditions), the Mortgages
            Trustee may by notice in writing to the Seller given at any time not
            more than 60 days before the expiry of that initial fixed rate
            period (which for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude any period of
            extension to which the relevant Borrower is entitled), offer to
            re-sell to the Seller that Mortgage Loan together with its Related
            Security if that Mortgage Loan becomes a Re-Fixed Mortgage Loan
            during the 3-month period immediately following the end of that
            initial fixed rate period. The offer will be in writing in the form
            set out in Schedule 9 (Offer under Clause 8.6 (Repurchase of Fixed
            Rate Mortgage Loans)) and will be signed by or on behalf of the
            Mortgages Trustee.

      (b)   The Seller may accept the offer made in accordance with paragraph
            (a) above on the date on which that Mortgage Loan becomes a Re-Fixed
            Mortgage Loan during the 3-month period immediately following the
            end of the initial fixed rate period relating to it, only by payment
            to the Mortgages Trustee of the consideration payable for the
            repurchase of the relevant Mortgage Loan and its Related Security in
            accordance with Clause 8.7 (Completion of Repurchase).

      (c)   The parties hereto acknowledge that the effect of the payment to the
            Mortgages Trustee by the Seller of the consideration for the
            repurchase of the relevant Mortgage Loan and its Related Security in
            accordance with paragraph (b) above will be the assignment and
            transfer to the Seller of the beneficial ownership of, and all of
            the Mortgages Trustee's beneficial right, title, interest and
            benefit in and to, that Mortgage Loan, and completion of the
            repurchase shall be effected by the parties in accordance with
            Clause 8.7 (Completion of Repurchase).

      (d)   The Seller hereby covenants and undertakes that if it does not
            accept the offer made by the Mortgages Trustee in accordance with
            paragraph (b) above, then whether or not the Mortgage Loan becomes a
            Re-Fixed Mortgage Loan, it will set the Existing Borrowers' Re-Fix
            Rate applicable for the 3-month period immediately after expiry of
            the initial fixed rate period relating to that Mortgage Loan at a
            rate not less than that (and on terms not less advantageous to the
            Mortgages Trustee or the Funding Beneficiaries than those) notified
            from time to time to the Seller by the Mortgages Trustee, the
            Funding Beneficiaries or the Administrator as being required by the
            Mortgages Trustee or any Funding Beneficiary.

8.7.  Completion of Repurchase: Completion of any repurchase or re-transfer or
      purchase or transfer, as applicable, shall take place:

      (a)   in the case of any repurchase or re-transfer pursuant to Clause 8.4
            (Repurchase) or any purchase or transfer pursuant to Clause 8.5
            (Purchase of

                                       23
<PAGE>

            Product Switches, Further Advances and purchases relating to
            Personal Secured Loans) on the first London Business Day immediately
            following expiry of a period of 10 days following the date of the
            service upon the Seller of the relevant Loan Repurchase Notice or at
            the Seller's earlier election; or

      (b)   in the case of any repurchase or re-transfer pursuant to Clause 8.6
            (Repurchase of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans), immediately upon the
            Mortgage Loan becoming a Re-Fixed Mortgage Loan,

      whereupon, the Seller shall pay to the Mortgages Trustee an amount equal
      to the Current Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and any
      Related Security and all Arrears of Interest and Accrued Interest relating
      thereto as at the date of completion of such repurchase. The provisions of
      Clause 8.8 (Transfers), Clause 8.9 (Documentation) and Clause 8.16
      (Scottish Trust) shall apply to any such repurchase or re-transfer.

8.8.  Transfers: On the date of completion of any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan
      and its Related Security in accordance with this Clause 8 (Warranties and
      Repurchase by the Seller), the Mortgages Trustee and each Funding
      Beneficiary shall at the cost of the Seller execute and deliver or cause
      their respective duly authorised attorneys to execute and deliver to the
      Seller:

      (a)   if perfection of the assignment and assignation to the Mortgages
            Trustee has occurred in accordance with Clause 6 (Perfection of the
            Assignment):

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

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

            (iii) if the relevant Mortgage is a Scottish Mortgage, an
                  assignation to the Seller in the applicable form of Scottish
                  Transfer;

      (b)   a re-assignment or retrocession of the rights of the Mortgages
            Trustee in respect of the relevant Related Security each in a form
            reasonably acceptable to the Seller (which shall, in the case of the
            re-assignment of the Insurance Contracts, be substantially in the
            form of the Assignment of Insurance Contracts set out in Schedule 3
            (Assignment of Insurance Contracts); and

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

8.9.  Documentation: Upon any completion of the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan
      and its Related Security in accordance with this Clause 8 (Warranties and
      Repurchase by the Seller) the Seller shall cease to be under any further
      obligation to hold any Title Deeds or other documents relating to such
      Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and its Related Security to the order of
      the Mortgages Trustee and any Funding Security Trustee and if the
      Mortgages Trustee or any Funding Security Trustee then holds the Title
      Deeds, the Mortgages Trustee or, as the case may be, such Funding Security
      Trustee shall forthwith return them to the Seller. Any such repurchase by
      the Seller of

                                       24
<PAGE>

      a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans and its or their Related Security shall
      constitute a discharge and release of the Seller from any claims which the
      Mortgages Trustee and/or any Funding Beneficiary and/or any Funding
      Security Trustee may have against the Seller arising from the relevant
      Representation or Warranty in relation to that Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
      Loans and its or their Related Security only, but shall not affect any
      rights arising from a breach of any other express provision of this
      Agreement or any Representation or Warranty in relation to any other
      Mortgage Loan and other Related Security.

8.10. Notification: For so long as the Seller is the Administrator, forthwith
      after it becomes aware of any event which may reasonably give rise to an
      obligation under this Clause 8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller)
      to repurchase any Mortgage Loan it shall notify the Mortgages Trustee,
      each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee in writing
      thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.

8.11. No Prejudice: The terms of this Clause 8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the
      Seller) shall not prejudice the rights of the Mortgages Trustee or the
      Beneficiaries under the Mortgages Trust Deed.

8.12. Claims against Seller: If a breach of a Representation or Warranty arises
      in respect of any Mortgage Loan and (in either case) no repurchase
      requirement arises in respect of the Seller pursuant to this Clause 8
      (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller), neither the Mortgages Trustee,
      nor any Funding Beneficiary or any Funding Security Trustee shall have any
      claim against the Seller in respect of, or in relation to, such breach of
      Representation or Warranty in relation to that Mortgage but without
      prejudice to Clause 8.14 (Repurchase Not Possible) and Clause 8.15
      (Indemnity) of this Agreement and Clause 8.5 (Adjustments to Trust
      Property) of the Mortgages Trust Deed. For the avoidance of doubt, save as
      provided for in this Clause 8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller),
      the Seller is not obliged to repurchase any other Mortgage Loan or its
      Related Security.

8.13. Assignment: If the Seller makes any payment to the Mortgages Trustee GIC
      Account (or as the Mortgages Trustee shall direct) in full satisfaction of
      any claim made by the Mortgages Trustee, any Funding Beneficiary or any
      Funding Security Trustee in relation to any Representation or Warranty set
      out in Schedule 1 (Representations and Warranties), the Mortgages Trustee,
      each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security Trustee, as the case
      may be, shall assign to the Seller such rights as they have against any
      third party which relate to such claim.

8.14. Repurchase Not Possible: If a Mortgage Loan has never existed, or has
      ceased to exist, such that it is not outstanding on the date on which it
      is due to be repurchased pursuant to this Clause 8 (Warranties and
      Repurchase by the Seller), the Seller shall not be obliged to repurchase
      the Mortgage Loan and the Related Security but shall instead indemnify the
      Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and each Funding Security
      Trustee against any loss suffered by reason of any Representation or
      Warranty relating to or otherwise affecting that Mortgage Loan being
      untrue or incorrect by reference to the facts subsisting at the date on
      which the relevant Representation or Warranty was given, provided that the
      amount of such indemnity shall not exceed the sum of (i) the Current
      Balance of the Mortgage Loan that would have been payable by the Borrower
      in respect of such Mortgage Loan on and after the relevant completion date
      for the repurchase in relation to such Mortgage Loan had the

                                       25
<PAGE>

      Mortgage Loan existed and complied with each of the Representations and
      Warranties set out Schedule 1 (Representations and Warranties) as at such
      date in relation to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) interest thereon from such
      relevant completion date at the weighted average yield of the Mortgage
      Loans.

8.15. Indemnity: The Seller shall indemnify the Mortgages Trustee against any
      loss suffered as a result of any Borrower exercising a right of set-off
      against the Mortgages Trustee provided that the amount of such indemnity
      in relation to any Mortgage Loan shall not exceed the sum of the Current
      Balance of that Mortgage Loan and interest payable by the Borrower under
      that Mortgage Loan as at the date that the Borrower exercises the right of
      set-off.

8.16. Scottish Trust: Upon any completion of the repurchase or purchase by the
      Seller of any Scottish Mortgage Loan and its Related Security in
      accordance with this Clause 8 (Warranties and Repurchase by the Seller)
      such Scottish Mortgage Loan and its Related Security shall thereupon be
      released from the Scottish Trust and shall cease to form part of the
      Scottish Trust Property.

9.    Further Assurance

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

10.   Consequences of Breach

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

      (a)   the Mortgages Trustee; and/or

      (b)   Funding or the assets comprised in the Funding Security constituted
            by the Funding Deed of Charge; and/or

      (c)   Funding 2 or the assets comprised in the Funding 2 Security
            constituted by the Funding 2 Deed of Charge,

      by reason of such breach, act or omission. For this purpose (and without
      limiting the scope of the above exclusion in respect of indirect or
      consequential loss or damage) any loss or damage suffered by the Mortgages
      Trustee and/or any Funding Beneficiary or such assets which would not have
      been suffered by it or such assets had the breach, act or omission in
      question not also been or given rise to an Event of Default or enforcement
      of the security constituted by the Funding Deed of Charge or

                                       26
<PAGE>

      enforcement of the security constituted by the Funding 2 Deed of Charge
      shall be treated as indirect or consequential loss or damage.

11.   Subordination

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

12.   Non-Merger

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

13.   No Agency or Partnership

      It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing in this
      Agreement shall be construed as giving rise to any relationship of agency,
      save as expressly provided herein, or partnership between the parties and
      that in fulfilling its obligations hereunder, each party shall be acting
      entirely for its own account.

14.   Payments

      All payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
      sterling in immediately available funds without exercising or seeking to
      exercise any right of set-off as may otherwise exist and shall be deemed
      to be made when they are received by the payee and shall be accounted for
      accordingly unless failure to receive any payment is due to an error by
      the payee's bank.

15.   Assignment

15.1. Assignment: Subject always to the provisions of Clause 16 (Funding
      Security Trustees), no party hereto shall be entitled to assign all or any
      part of its rights or obligations hereunder to any other party without the
      prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto (which shall
      not, if requested, be unreasonably withheld) save that:

      (a)   Funding shall be entitled to assign by way of security all or any of
            its rights under this Agreement without such consent to the Security
            Trustee pursuant to the Funding Deed of Charge and the Security

            under or in respect of this Agreement without such consent to any
            successor Security Trustee under the Funding Deed of Charge and may
            assign all or any part of the Funding Security upon an

                                       27
<PAGE>

            enforcement of the Funding Security in accordance with the Funding
            Deed of Charge; and

      (b)   Funding 2 shall be entitled to assign by way of security all or any
            of its rights under this Agreement without such consent to the

            and the Funding 2 Security Trustee may at its sole discretion assign
            all or any of its rights under or in respect of this Agreement
            without such consent to any successor Funding 2 Security Trustee
            under the Funding 2 Deed of Charge and may assign all or any part of
            the Funding 2 Security upon an enforcement of the Funding 2 Security
            in accordance with the Funding 2 Deed of Charge.

15.2. Acknowledgement of Security Assignment: The Seller acknowledges that:

      (a)   on the assignment by Funding of its rights under this Agreement to
            the Security Trustee pursuant to the Funding Deed of Charge, the
            Security Trustee may enforce such rights in the Security Trustee's
            own name without joining Funding in any such action (which right the
            Seller hereby waives) and the Seller hereby waives as against the
            Security Trustee any rights or equities in its favour arising from
            any course of dealing between the Seller and Funding; and

      (b)   on the assignment by Funding 2 of its rights under this Agreement to
            the Funding 2 Security Trustee pursuant to the Funding 2 Deed of
            Charge, the Funding 2 Security Trustee may enforce such rights in
            the Funding 2 Security Trustee's own name without joining Funding 2
            in any such action (which right the Seller hereby waives) and the
            Seller hereby waives as against the Funding 2 Security Trustee any
            rights or equities in its favour arising from any course of dealing
            between the Seller and Funding 2.

16.   Funding Security Trustees

16.1. Vesting of Rights: If there is any change in the identity of the security
      trustee in accordance with the Funding Deed of Charge, the Seller, the
      Mortgages Trustee, each Funding Beneficiary and the Funding 2 Security
      Trustee shall execute such documents and take such action as the successor
      security trustee and the outgoing security trustee may require for the
      purpose of vesting in the successor security trustee the rights and
      obligations of the outgoing security trustee hereunder and releasing the
      outgoing security trustee from its future obligations under this Agreement
      and the Seller shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies. If there
      is any change in the identity of the security trustee in accordance with
      the Funding 2 Deed of Charge, the Seller, the Mortgages Trustee, each
      Funding Beneficiary and the Security Trustee shall execute such documents
      and take such action as the successor security trustee and the outgoing
      security trustee may require for the purpose of vesting in the successor

                                       28
<PAGE>

      power which may be exercised or any determination which may be made
      hereunder by a Funding Security Trustee may be exercised or made in its
      absolute discretion without any obligation to give reasons therefor, but

18.1. Non Petition Covenant: Each of the parties hereto (except for, in the case
      of Funding, the Security Trustee and, in the case of Funding 2, the
      Funding 2 Security Trustee) hereby agrees that it shall not institute
      against any Funding Beneficiary or the Mortgages Trustee any winding-up,
      administration, insolvency or similar proceedings so long as any sum is

      years plus one day since the last day on which any such sum was
      outstanding.

18.2. Limited Recourse: Each of the parties hereto agrees that:

      (a)   in relation to the Mortgages Trustee, any amount payable by the

            accordance with the terms of the Mortgages Trust Deed shall only be
            payable to the extent that on that date the Mortgages Trustee has
            sufficient funds to pay such amount out of fees paid to it under the
            Mortgages Trust Deed; and

      (b)   in relation to Funding:

                  shall be payable by Funding except to the extent that Funding
                  has sufficient funds available therefor or (following
                  enforcement of the Funding Security) the Security Trustee has
                  realised sufficient funds from the Funding Security to pay
                  such sum, in each case, subject to and in accordance with the
                  relevant Funding Priority of Payments and provided that all
                  liabilities of Funding required to be paid in priority thereto

                  thereof;

            (ii)  notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any
                  other Transaction Document, no sum due or owing to any party

                  Payments and provided that all liabilities of Funding 2
                  required to be paid in priority thereto or pari passu
                  therewith pursuant to such Funding 2 Priority of Payments have

                                   SCHEDULE 1
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                                     Part 1

1.    The particulars of each Mortgage Loan and its related Mortgage in the
      Initial Mortgage Portfolio set out in Appendix A to this Agreement are
      complete, true and accurate in all material respects.

2.    Immediately prior to a Closing Date or an Assignment Date, as the case may
      be, subject to completion of any registration or recording which may be
      pending at the Land Registry or the Registers of Scotland, the Seller was
      the absolute beneficial and legal owner of the Mortgage Loans, the Related
      Security and the other property to be assigned and transferred by the
      Seller to the Mortgages Trustee under this Agreement at such Closing Date
      or such Assignment Date, as the case may be, and the Seller has not
      assigned (whether by way of absolute assignment or by way of security
      only), transferred, charged, disposed of or dealt with the benefit of any
      of the Mortgage Loans or their related Mortgages, any of the other rights
      relating thereto or any of the property, rights, titles, interests or
      benefits to be sold or assigned pursuant to this Agreement other than
      pursuant to this Agreement.

3.    With the exception of Personal Secured Loans, the Mortgage Conditions and
      the Mortgage Loan Agreement for each Mortgage Loan and its related
      Mortgage and the Related Security constitutes a valid and binding
      obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms (save
      any terms which are not binding by virtue of the Unfair Terms in Consumer
      Contracts Regulations 1994 or the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts
      Regulations 1999) and each such related Mortgage and the Related Security
      secures the repayment of all advances, interest, costs and expenses
      payable by the relevant Borrower to the Seller in priority to any other
      charges registered against the relevant Mortgaged Property.

4.    At the time that it was made, each Mortgage Loan (other than Personal
      Secured Loans) complied in all respects with applicable laws, regulations
      and rules including, without limitation, consumer protection, data
      protection and contract law.

5.    Subject to completion of any registration which may be pending at the Land
      Registry or the Registers of Scotland, each Mortgage (other than a
      Mortgage in respect of a Regulated Personal Secured Loan) either
      constitutes, or will constitute, following registration at the Land
      Registry (in England and Wales), a first ranking charge by way of legal
      mortgage or following registration or recording at the Registers in
      Scotland, a first ranking standard security over the relevant Mortgaged
      Property.

6.    Each relevant Mortgaged Property is located in England, Wales or Scotland.

7.    All steps necessary to perfect the Seller's title to each Mortgage Loan
      and its related Mortgage were duly taken at the appropriate time or are in
      the process of being taken with all due diligence.

8.    No lien or right of set-off or counterclaim (other than a Right of Set-off
      referred to in Clause 8.15 (Indemnity)) has been created or arisen between
      the Seller and any

                                       35
<PAGE>

      Borrower which would entitle such Borrower to reduce the amount of any
      payment otherwise due under the relevant Mortgage Conditions and the
      Mortgage Loan Agreement save in relation to the Unfair Terms in Consumer
      Contracts Regulations 1994 or the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts
      Regulations 1999 and save in relation to section 75 of the CCA.

9.    Prior to making a Mortgage Loan to a Borrower, the Seller instructed or
      required to be instructed on its behalf solicitors to carry out in
      relation to the relevant Mortgaged Property all investigations, searches
      and other actions that would have been undertaken by the Seller acting in
      accordance with standards consistent with those of a reasonable and
      prudent mortgage lender, lending to Borrowers in England and Wales (in
      respect of English Mortgage Loans) and Scotland (in respect of Scottish
      Mortgage Loans), when advancing money in an amount equal to such advance
      to an individual to be secured on a property of the kind permitted under
      the Lending Criteria and a report on title was received by or on behalf of
      the Seller from such solicitors which, either initially or after further
      investigation revealed no material matter which would cause the Seller,
      acting reasonably, to decline the Mortgage Loan having regard to the
      Lending Criteria.

10.   In relation to each Mortgage the Borrower has a good and marketable title
      to the relevant Mortgaged Property.

11.   Prior to making a Mortgage Loan the relevant property was valued by an
      independent valuer from the panel of valuers from time to time appointed
      by the Seller or by an employee valuer of the Seller, and the results of
      such valuation would be acceptable to a reasonable and prudent mortgage
      lender.

12.   Prior to making a Mortgage Loan, the nature and amount of such Mortgage
      Loan, the circumstances of the relevant Borrower and nature of the
      relevant property satisfied the Lending Criteria in force at that time in
      all material respects.

13.   The exercise of any discretion by the Seller in the making of any Mortgage
      Loan has been consistent with the practice of a reasonable and prudent
      mortgage lender.

14.   Each Mortgage Loan and its related Mortgage has been made on the terms of
      the Standard Mortgage Documentation (so far as applicable) which has not
      been varied in any material respect, save for the making of the Base Rate
      Pledge.

15.   With the exception of agreements for Regulated Personal Secured Loans, no
      agreement for any Mortgage Loan (other than to the extent it relates to
      the funding of buildings insurance premiums) is or has ever been, wholly
      or partly regulated by the CCA (other than by Sections 137 to 140 of the
      CCA) or constitutes an extortionate credit bargain under Sections 137 to
      140 of the CCA or, to the extent it is so regulated or partly regulated,
      all the requirements of the CCA have been met in full. No Mortgage Loan
      is, or has ever been, a linked transaction within Section 19 of the CCA.

16.   Interest on each Mortgage Loan: (a) is charged on the capital balance of
      each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the applicable
      Mortgage Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement and its related
      Mortgage; (b) is not in any event adjusted by reference to the principal
      amount due thereunder; (c) is payable

                                       36
<PAGE>

      monthly in advance; and (d) is calculated by reference to the Standard
      Variable Rate or the Bank of England Base Rate, subject to any applicable
      caps, discounts and fixed rates and the Base Rate Pledge; and (e) subject
      to (d) above, may be set by the Seller and its successors and assigns to
      that Mortgage Loan.

17.   No payment of interest (or in the case of Repayment Mortgage Loans,
      principal and interest) equivalent to an amount in excess of one month's
      instalment at the applicable rate in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the
      Initial Mortgage Portfolio was at any time during the 12 months before the
      relevant Closing Date or Assignment Date, as the case may be, in arrears.

18.   So far as the Seller is aware, no Borrower is in material breach of its
      Mortgage Conditions.

19.   So far as the Seller is aware, the underwriting, origination and
      completion of each Mortgage Loan is not the subject of fraud by any person
      (including, without limitation, the Borrower or any professional or third
      party employed or engaged on behalf of the Seller).

20.   As at the date of this Agreement, the first payment due has been paid by
      the relevant Borrower in respect of each Mortgage Loan and each Mortgage
      Loan was fully performing.

21.   Where any Borrower is or was entitled to repayment of any early repayment
      charge in respect of any mortgage previously held by the Borrower with the
      Seller, that repayment has been or will be made by the Seller.

22.   Except where a Mortgaged Property was at completion of the relevant
      Mortgage (or, where appropriate, in the case of self-build properties, at
      the date of completion of the relevant mortgaged property) covered by the
      Block Buildings Policy or a block buildings policy providing equivalent
      cover, the Seller took all reasonable steps to ensure that at the date of
      completion of the relevant Mortgage Loan each Mortgaged Property was:

      (a)   insured under a buildings policy either (i) in the joint names of
            the Borrower and the Seller or (ii) with the interest of the Seller
            noted thereon;

      (b)   insured under a Block Buildings Policy; or

      (c)   with respect to leasehold properties, insured by the relevant
            landlord with the Seller's approval,

      and in all cases against risks usually covered by a comprehensive
      buildings policy and to an amount not less than the full reinstatement
      cost of such Mortgaged Property as determined by an independent valuer or
      a valuer employed by the Seller.

23.   The Block Buildings Policy referred to above covers such fire and other
      commercial risks as would be required by the Seller acting in accordance
      with its normal standard for an amount not less than the full
      reinstatement value of the Properties covered by the Block Buildings
      Policy.

                                       37
<PAGE>

24.   The Insurance Contracts are in full force and effect and all premiums
      thereon due on or before the date of this Agreement have been paid in full
      and the Seller is not aware of any circumstances giving the insurer under
      the Insurance Contracts the right to avoid or terminate such policy in so
      far as it relates to the Mortgaged Properties or the Mortgage Loans. Where
      the Lending Criteria then in force required that a Mortgage Loan was
      covered by the Insurance Contract referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 4
      (Insurance Contracts), that Mortgage Loan is covered by such Insurance
      Contract.

25.   To the extent that a Guarantee was required under the Lending Criteria in
      relation to a particular Mortgage Loan, that Guarantee constitutes the
      valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the guarantor thereunder
      (save to the extent that any term of the Guarantee is not valid, binding
      or enforceable by virtue of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts
      Regulations 1994 or the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations
      1999).

26.   If a Mortgaged Property is leasehold or long leasehold, written notice has
      been given to the landlord of the creation of the Mortgage.

27.   In relation to each English Mortgage, any person who at the date when the
      Mortgage Loan was made has been identified by the Borrower to the Seller
      as residing or about to reside in the relevant Mortgaged Property is
      either named as a joint Borrower or has signed a form of consent declaring
      that he or she agrees that any present or future rights or interests as he
      or she may have or acquire over or in respect of the relevant Mortgaged
      Property shall be postponed and made subject to the rights, interests and
      remedies of the Seller under the relevant Mortgage and that he or she
      shall not claim any such rights or interests against the Seller. In
      relation to each Scottish Mortgage, all necessary MHA Documentation has
      been obtained to as to ensure that neither the relevant Mortgage nor the
      relevant Mortgaged Property is subject to or affected by any statutory
      right of occupancy.

28.   No Borrower was under 18 years of age at the time of completion of the
      relevant Mortgage Loan.

29.   No Mortgage Loan has a final maturity beyond January 2052 and, prior to
      the redemption in full of all Notes issued by the Funding Issuers, (a) the
      aggregate Current Balance of Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Portfolio with
      a final maturity falling prior to January 2039, expressed as a percentage
      of the aggregate Current Balance of all Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage
      Portfolio is not less than (b) the Outstanding Principal Balance of all
      Notes issued by the Funding Issuers or by the Funding 2 Issuers and
      outstanding with a Final Maturity Date (as specified in the terms and
      conditions of such Notes) falling in or prior to December 2044, expressed
      as a percentage of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes issued
      by the Funding Issuers or by the Funding 2 Issuers and outstanding.

30.   The Seller has procured that full and proper accounts, books and records
      have been kept showing clearly all material transactions, payments,
      receipts and proceedings relating to that Mortgage Loan and its Mortgage
      and all such accounts, books and records are up to date and in the
      possession of the Seller or held to its order (subject to the provisions
      of the Mortgages Trust Deed).

                                       38
<PAGE>

31.   The origination and collection practices employed by the Seller with
      respect to the Mortgage Loans have been, in all respects, legal and
      consistent with the practice of a reasonable and prudent mortgage lender.

32.   The Seller has not received written notice of any litigation or claim
      calling into question in any material way its title to any Mortgage Loan
      and its Mortgage or the value of any security. The Seller is not engaged
      in any litigation, and no litigation is pending or threatened by the
      Seller, against any person in connection with any report, valuation,
      opinion, certificate, consent or other statement of fact or opinion given
      in connection with any Mortgage Loan received by the Seller in connection
      with the origination of any Mortgage Loan.

33.   In respect of any Mortgaged Property which is subject to a second or
      subsequent mortgage or standard security, the Seller has first priority
      for the full amount of the Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of a
      Regulated Personal Secured Loan) and all costs, fees and expenses relative
      thereto.

34.   Subject to completion of any registration or recording which may be
      pending at the Land Registry or the Registers of Scotland, all Property
      Deeds and Mortgage Loan Files are held by, or to the order of, the Seller.

35.   Each Borrower is a natural person, and no Borrower is at present an
      employee or an officer of the Seller.

36.   All Mortgage Loans were originated by or on behalf of the Seller in the
      ordinary course of the Seller's residential secured lending activities. No
      Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller subject to any discount and no
      Mortgage Loan has been written down by the Seller in its accounts.

37.   The Mortgage Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement in relation to
      each Mortgage Loan contain no obligations on the part of the Seller to
      make any further advances, and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in
      making, closing or registering the Mortgage Loans and the Related Security
      have been paid in full.

38.   All formal approvals, consents and other steps necessary to permit a legal
      or equitable or beneficial transfer or a transfer of servicing away from
      the Seller of the Mortgage Loans and their related Mortgages to be sold
      under this Agreement whenever required under the Transaction Documents
      have been obtained or taken and there is no requirement in order for the
      transfer to be effective to notify the Borrower before, on or after any
      equitable or beneficial transfer of the Mortgage Loans and their related
      Mortgages.

39.   So far as the Seller is aware, none of the terms in any Mortgage
      Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement in relation to each Mortgage
      Loan and its related Mortgage are unfair terms within the meaning of the
      Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 or the Unfair Terms in
      Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 in any material respect save those
      which impose Early Repayment Charges.

40.   The Seller has confirmed to all relevant Borrowers that where any Mortgage
      Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to any Mortgage Loan
      provide that where any Early Repayment Charge is payable at any time when
      the interest rate

                                       39
<PAGE>

      payable under that Mortgage Loan is equal to or set by reference to the
      Standard Variable Rate (including without limitation where the Mortgage
      Conditions and the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loan
      provide for a capped or discounted rate), the interest rate payable under
      that Mortgage Loan will be no more than the Bank of England base rate plus
      a margin which is determined by Northern Rock.

41.   In relation to a Right to Buy Mortgage Loan:

      (a)   in the case of each English Mortgage Loan the Seller was at the time
            of origination of that Mortgage Loan an approved lending institution
            within the meaning given to that expression in the Housing Act 1985;

      (b)   the original advance was made to the person exercising the right to
            buy; and

      (c)   the original advance was made for the purposes of enabling the
            recipient thereof to purchase the relevant Mortgaged Property.

      For the purpose of this paragraph 41, "Right to Buy Mortgage Loan" means
      (i) in relation to an English Mortgage Loan, a Mortgage Loan in respect of
      which the "right to buy" provisions of the Housing Act 1985 apply (other
      than any Mortgage Loan in respect of which the period during which the
      statutory charge referred to in section 156 of that Act would have
      existed, had the relevant circumstances applied, has expired) and (ii) in
      relation to a Scottish Mortgage Loan, a Mortgage Loan in respect of which
      the "right to buy" provisions of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 apply
      (other than any Mortgage Loan in respect of which the period during which
      the seller's standard security referred to in section 72 of that Act
      remains in effect has expired).

42.   The loyalty discount applicable to certain Mortgage Loans after seven
      years will not apply to any such Mortgage Loans during any period when the
      interest rate is fixed.

43.   The Seller has paid to the relevant Borrower the full amount of the
      cashback payment in relation to any Cashback Mortgage Loan, either upon

                              LENDING CRITERIA (1)

General

To proceed with obtaining a Mortgage Loan, each prospective Borrower completes
an application form (or submits an application on-line) which includes
information with respect to the applicant's income from all sources, current
employment details, bank account information (where the Borrower has a bank
account), current mortgage information (if applicable) and certain other
personal information. A credit reference agency search is made against each
prospective Borrower at their current address and, if necessary, former
addresses, in all cases which will give details of any public information which
includes county court judgements and details of any bankruptcy.

Employment details

The Seller generally operates the following policy in respect of the
verification of a prospective Borrower's income details. Under this policy,
prospective Borrowers are categorised as either "employed" or "self-employed" by
the Seller.

Proof of income for employed prospective Borrowers applying for Mortgage Loans
may typically be established by:

(a)   three monthly payslips from the six month period prior to the date of the
      loan application plus the Borrower's most recent form P60 (in the case of
      a prospective Borrower with a low credit score);

(b)   two monthly payslips from the six month period prior to the date of the
      loan application plus the Borrower's most recent form P60 (in the case of
      a prospective Borrower with a medium credit score); or

(c)   the Borrower's most recent monthly payslip (in the case of a prospective
      Borrower with a high credit score).

Proof of income for self-employed prospective Borrowers may be established by:

(a)   a certificate from the Borrower's accountant in acceptable form, the
      Borrower's accounts for the three years prior to the date of the loan
      application or the Borrower's tax assessments for the three years prior to
      the date of the loan application (in the case of a prospective Borrower
      with a low credit score); or

(b)   a certificate from the Borrower's accountant in acceptable form, the
      Borrower's accounts for the two years prior to the date of the loan
      application or the Borrower's tax assessments for the two years prior to
      the date of the loan application (in the case of a prospective borrower
      with a medium or high credit score).

Under the Seller's fast track program, income is accepted as stated by the
prospective Borrower without further proof once positive identification of the
Borrower is provided and the Borrower has passed the Seller's credit scoring
test. Currently, in order to be eligible for

------------------------
(1)   These Lending Criteria apply to Mortgage Loans other than Personal Secured
      Loans.

                                       80
<PAGE>

the fast track program, the Seller requires that a prospective Borrower attain a
high or medium credit score, have a valuation made on the Mortgaged Property,
have a property value of at least (GBP)100,000 and be applying for a Mortgage
Loan with an LTV ratio no greater than 85% (or no greater than 80% in the case
of Mortgage Loans in excess of (GBP)1,000,000). First time buyers, Borrowers
with low credit scores, Borrowers employed less than six months and borrowers of
Together Mortgage Loans are ineligible for a fast track Mortgage Loan. The
eligibility requirements for the Seller's fast track program are subject to
change from time to time. Notwithstanding these procedures, the Seller carries
out reasonability checks on all non verified applications and retains the right
to require proof of income or other credit related information in any case it
deems necessary.

Valuation

The Seller requires that a valuation of the Mortgaged Property be obtained
either from its in-house valuation department or from an independent firm of
professional valuers selected from a panel of approved valuers. Details of
professional indemnity insurance held by panel valuers are kept by the Seller.
All valuations of Properties are reviewed by the person underwriting the
Mortgage Loan and/or the valuation team.

Property Types

The Seller applies the criteria set out below in determining the eligibility of
Properties to serve as security for Mortgage Loans. Under these criteria,
eligible property types include freehold, heritable and leasehold houses,
leasehold and heritable flats and mixed commercial and residential use
properties where there is a separate entrance for the residential part of the
Mortgaged Property. In the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by a leasehold
property, the Seller requires that the unexpired term of the lease be at least
30 years from the end of the agreed mortgage term.

Certain property types falling outside the criteria may be considered on a case
by case basis. However, certain property types will not be considered for the
purposes of providing security for a Mortgage Loan. The types of property
falling within this category comprise freehold flats (in England and Wales),
shared ownership or shared equity schemes and properties of non-standard
construction of a type considered to be defective.

Loan Amount

Generally, the maximum loan amount is (GBP)2,000,000, but this varies according
to the application in question. In exceptional cases, this limit may be
exceeded.

Term

Each Mortgage Loan must have an initial term of between 7 and 30 years (in the
case of a Together Connections Mortgage Loan) or between 7 and 35 years in the
case of all other Mortgage Loans.

Age of applicant

The first named Borrower in respect of a Together Mortgage Loan or a Together
Connections Mortgage Loan must be aged 21 or over. All Borrowers in respect of
all other Mortgage Loans must be aged 18 or over.. There are no maximum age
limits.

                                       81
<PAGE>

Status of applicant(s)

The maximum loan amount of the Mortgage Loan(s) under a Mortgage Account is
determined by a number of factors, including the prospective Borrower's income.
In determining income, the Seller includes basic salary along with performance
or profit-related pay, allowances, mortgage subsidies, pensions, annuities,
overtime, bonus and commission.

The Seller will deduct the annual cost of existing commitments of twelve months
or more from the prospective Borrower's gross income. Positive proof of the
applicant's identity and address is obtained in all cases.

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

Where there are two prospective Borrowers, the Seller adds joint incomes
together for the purposes of calculating the prospective Borrowers' total
income. In determining the loan amount available to the applicants the Seller
may use the higher of the joint income multiplied by the appropriate income
multiple or the highest of the two incomes multiplied by the appropriate income
multiple plus the lower income. The Seller may, at its discretion, consider the
income of one additional prospective Borrower as well, but only at a maximum
income multiple of 1.

The Seller may exercise discretion within its lending criteria in applying those
factors that are used to determine the maximum amount a prospective Borrower can
borrow. Accordingly, these parameters may vary for some Mortgage Loans. The
Seller may take the following into account when applying discretion: credit
score result, existing customer relationship, LTV and total income needed to
support the Mortgage Loan.

Credit history

(a)   Credit search

      A credit search is carried out in respect of all prospective Borrowers.
      Applications may be declined where an adverse credit history (for example,
      county court judgment (or the Scottish equivalent), default or bankruptcy
      notice) is revealed.

(b)   Existing lender's reference

      In some cases the Seller may seek a reference from any existing and/or
      previous lender. Any reference must satisfy the Seller that the account
      has been properly conducted and that no history of material arrears
      exists. The Seller may substitute the reference with the bureau record
      obtained as a result of the credit search.

Scorecard

The Seller uses some of the criteria described here and various other criteria
to produce an overall score for the application that reflects a quantitative
measure of the risk of advancing

                                       82
<PAGE>

the Mortgage Loan. The scorecard has been developed using the Seller's own data
and experience of its own Mortgage accounts. The lending policies and processes
are determined centrally to ensure consistency in the management and monitoring
of credit risk exposure. Full use is made of software technology in credit
scoring new applications. Credit scoring applies statistical analysis to
publicly available data, closed user group data obtained from credit reference
agencies and customer-provided data to assess the likelihood of a mortgage
account going into arrears. The Seller also uses behavioral scoring, which uses
customer data on existing accounts and closed user group data obtained from
credit reference agencies to make further lending decisions, calculate
impairment allowances and prioritize action in case of arrears.

The Seller reserves the right to decline an application that has achieved a
passing score. The Seller does have an appeals process if a prospective Borrower
believes that his/her application has been unfairly declined. It is the Seller's
policy to allow only authorized individuals to exercise discretion in granting
variances from the scorecard.

Discretion to lend outside Lending Criteria

On a case-by-case basis, and within approved limits as detailed in the Seller's
lending policy, the Seller may have determined that, based upon compensating
factors, a prospective Borrower who did not strictly qualify under its lending
criteria warranted an underwriting exception. Compensating factors may include,
but are not limited to, a low LTV ratio, stable employment and time in residence
at the applicant's current residence.

Maximum Loan To Value

The maximum LTV ratio permitted for prospective Borrowers applying for Mortgage
Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties valued up to (GBP)300,000 is 95% of the
lower of the purchase price or valuation of the Mortgaged Property determined by
the relevant valuation. The maximum LTV ratio permitted for prospective
Borrowers applying for Mortgage Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties valued up
to (GBP)1,000,000 is 90% of the lower of the purchase price or valuation of the
Mortgaged Property determined by the relevant valuation. The maximum LTV ratio
permitted for prospective Borrowers applying for Mortgage Loans secured by
Mortgaged Properties valued over (GBP)1,000,000 is 85% of the lower of the
purchase price or valuation of the Mortgaged Property determined by the relevant
valuation. The maximum LTV ratio permitted for prospective Borrowers applying
for Interest-Only Mortgage Loans (without a repayment vehicle) and Combination
Repayment and Interest-Only Mortgage Loans (without a repayment vehicle) is 75%
of the lower of the purchase price or valuation of the Mortgaged Property
determined by the relevant valuation.
