properly completed New Portfolio Notice on the Mortgages Trustee and

Funding and the Security Trustee in relation to each New Loan
in the New Portfolio being sold on the relevant Assignment
Date in accordance with Clause 8 and such Representations and

each relevant New Loan have been applied to the New Loan and
to the circumstances of the Borrower at the time the New Loan

Mortgages Trust, as a percentage of the total amount of gross
interest due to the Mortgages Trustee during the previous 12
months on all Loans outstanding during all or part of such
period, must not exceed 2 per cent. ARREARS for this purpose
in respect of a Loan on any date means the aggregate amount
overdue on the Loan on that date but only where such aggregate
amount overdue equals or exceeds an amount equal to twice the
Monthly Payment then due on the Loan;
(d) as at the relevant Assignment Date, the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balances of the Loans in the Mortgages Trust, in

cent. of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balances of the
Loans in the Mortgages Trust;
(e) no New Loan has on the relevant Assignment Date an aggregate
amount in arrear which is more than the amount of the Monthly
Payment then due and each New Loan was made at least three
calendar months prior to the relevant Assignment Date;
(f) each New Loan is secured by a Mortgage constituting a valid
and subsisting first charge by way of legal mortgage or first
ranking standard security over the relevant Property (except
in the case of some Flexible Loans in respect of which the

charges by way of legal mortgage or first and second ranking
standard securities over the relevant Property), subject only

Land Registry or the Registers of Scotland;
(g) no Outstanding Principal Balance of any New Loan is, at the
relevant Assignment Date, greater than [POUND]350,000;
(h) for so long as amounts are owed by Funding to the First Issuer
under the First Intercompany Loan Agreement, no New Loan has a
final maturity date beyond July, 2038;
5

respect of the relevant New Loan;

short term, unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt
obligations of the Seller are rated at least P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇,
A-1 by S&P and F1 by Fitch at the time of, and immediately
following, the assignment of the New Loans to the Mortgages
Trustee;
(n) except where the Seller assigns New Loans to the Mortgages
Trustee in consideration of the payment by Funding of the
Purchase Price funded by a New Intercompany Loan from an
Issuer, at least 85 per cent. of the number of Loans and their
Related Security in the Portfolio at the expiry of any one
Interest Period shall have been in the Portfolio as at the
beginning of such Interest Period;
(o) the purchase of the New Portfolio on the relevant Assignment
Date does not result in the product of WAFF and WALS for the
Portfolio after such purchase calculated on the relevant
Assignment Date in the same way as for the Initial Portfolio
(or as agreed by the Servicer and the Rating Agencies from
time to time) exceeding the product of WAFF and WALS for the
Portfolio calculated on the most recent previous Closing Date
plus 0.25 per cent.;
(p) the yield (as calculated below) of the Loans in the Mortgages
Trust together with the yield of the New Loans to be assigned
to the Mortgages Trustee on the relevant Assignment Date
(together the purposes of this paragraph, the RELEVANT LOANS)
and the Second Reserve Fund Calculation is not less than LIBOR
for three month sterling deposits as at the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date plus 0.50 per cent. The yield
of the Relevant Loans is to be calculated as follows:
(A x B)+(C x (D - E + F))+(G x (H + I))
----------------------------------------
J
where,
A = the average Outstanding Principal Balance, on the
relevant Assignment Date, of the Relevant Loans which
are Fixed Rate Loans
B = LIBOR plus the Fixed Rate Spread on the relevant
Assignment Date
C = the average Outstanding Principal Balance, on the
relevant Assignment Date, of the Relevant Loans which
are Variable Rate Loans
D = the weighted average Variable Rate of the Relevant
Loans on the relevant Assignment Date
6
E = the current SVR for the Relevant Loans on the
relevant Assignment Date
F = LIBOR plus the Variable Rate Spread on the relevant
Assignment Date
G = the average Outstanding Principal Balance, on the
relevant Assignment Date, of the Relevant Loans which
are Tracker Loans
H = LIBOR plus the Tracker Rate Spread on the relevant
Assignment Date
I = the weighted average margin of the Tracker Loans over
the Bank of England Repo Rate on the Relevant
Assignment Date
J = the average Outstanding Principal Balance of the
Relevant Loans on the relevant Assignment Date;
(q) the purchase of the New Portfolio on the relevant Assignment
Date does not result in the loan-to-value ratio of Loans in
the Portfolio on the Assignment Date (after the purchase of
the New Portfolio) after application of the LTV Test on the
relevant Assignment Date exceeding the loan-to-value ratio
(based on the LTV Test) of Loans in the Portfolio on the most
recent previous Closing Date plus 0.25 per cent.;
(r) the assignment by the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee of New
Loans on the relevant Assignment Date does not result in the
Loans (other than Fixed Rate Loans) with a discount of more
than 0.80 per cent. to the Stabilised Rate as at the relevant
Assignment Date that have more than two years remaining on
their incentive period in aggregate accounting for more than
20 per cent. of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
all Loans constituting the Trust Property;
(s) no assignment of New Loans may occur after any Interest
Payment Date on which the Issuer, any New Issuer or any
previous Issuer does not exercise its option to redeem the
Notes (other than pursuant to Condition 5(E) of the Notes
(Optional Redemption for tax and other reasons)), any new
Notes or any previous Notes issued by the Issuer, such New
Issuer or such previous Issuer (as the case may be) on the
relevant date pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes, those New Notes or those previous Notes; and
(t) the First Reserve Fund has not been debited on or before the
relevant Assignment Date for the purposes of curing a
Principal Deficiency in respect of the Term BBB Advances
and/or the Term AA Advances and/or the Term A Advances in
circumstances where the First Reserve Fund has not been
replenished by a corresponding amount by the relevant
Assignment Date.
In this Clause 4.2 references to any Monthly Payment due at any date
means the Monthly Payment payable in respect of the month in which that
date falls.
4.3 No assignment of a New Portfolio may occur after any Interest Payment
Date on which any Issuer does not exercise its option to redeem the
relevant Notes issued on the relevant date pursuant to the Terms and
Conditions of such Notes (but only where such right of redemption
7
arises on or after a particular specified date and not as a result of
the occurrence of any event specified in the Terms and Conditions).
4.4 Subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to in Clause 4.2 and
4.3, the consideration to be provided to the Seller by the assignment of
the New Portfolio to the Mortgages Trustee on an Assignment Date shall
be the aggregate of: [DN: TO CONSIDER PAYMENT FROM FUNDING TO SELLER OF
AN AMOUNT BY WHICH THE FIRST RESERVE FUND EXCEEDS THE FIRST RESERVE FUND
REQUIRED AMOUNT AS ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION]
(a) the payment by Funding to the Seller by telegraphic transfer
on the New Portfolio Date of the proceeds of any New
Intercompany Loan advanced to Funding by a New Issuer; and/or
(b) the covenant of the Mortgages Trustee to hold the Trust
Property on trust pursuant to the terms of the Mortgages Trust
Deed; and
(c) the Deferred Consideration (including any Postponed Deferred
Consideration) which shall be paid by Funding quarterly on the
Interest Payment Dates (provided there are available funds and
after making any provisions in accordance with normal
accounting practice) in accordance with the Funding
Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments or, as the case
may be, the Funding Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments.
4.5 On the date of the assignment of the relevant New Portfolio, a meeting
shall take place at the offices of the Seller or at such other office as
may be agreed by the parties at which the Seller shall deliver to the
Security Trustee or its representative the following documents:

date of this Agreement only, two originals of the power of
attorney substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5, duly
executed by the Seller or its properly appointed attorney;

third parties comprised in the relevant New Portfolio dated as

attaching a copy of the board minute referred to in Clause
3.1(e) and confirming that the resolutions referred to therein
are in full force and effect and have not been amended or
rescinded as at the date of the certificate;
(d) a solvency certificate from the Seller dated as of the date of
the sale and purchase of the New Portfolio; and
(e) a Scottish Trust Deed in respect of the Scottish Loans in the
New Portfolio (if any) and their Related Security, in the form
(mutatis mutandis) set out in Schedule 16 and with the
annexure thereto duly completed, duly executed by the Seller,
the Mortgages Trustee and Funding.
4.6 The Seller undertakes that from the Assignment Date until the completion
of the sale and purchase in accordance with Clause 6.1, the Seller shall
hold the Title Deeds (if applicable) and Customer Files relating to the
New 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.

the Seller undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to offer to
assign, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 4, 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:
(i) up to but excluding the Interest Payment Date falling in July
2010 (or such later date as may be notified by Funding) or until
the occurrence of a Trigger Event (if earlier), sufficient New
Loans and their Related Security so that the aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of Loans in the Portfolio is not
less than [POUND]25,000,000,000; and
(ii) up to and including the Interest Payment Date falling in [July

referred to in Clause 4.7(b) above) provided that the Seller shall not
be obliged to assign to the Mortgages Trustee, and the Mortgages Trustee
shall not be obliged to acquire, New Loans and their Related Security if
in the opinion of the Seller the assignment to the Mortgages Trustee of
New Loans and their Related Security would adversely affect the business
of the Seller.
4.8 On each Assignment Date that Funding provides consideration for New
Loans to be assigned to the Mortgages Trustee pursuant to Clause 4.4(a)
above, the Beneficiaries shall appoint a firm of independent auditors to
determine whether the Loans and their Related Security (or any part of
them) constituting the Trust Property complied with the representations
and warranties set out in Schedule 1 of this Agreement as at the date
such Loans were assigned to the Mortgages Trustee. The costs of such
independent auditors shall be borne by the relevant New Issuer (which
shall be procured by Funding).

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 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

moneys so paid in error to the Seller in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement.

Transfer and, in the case of Scottish Mortgages in the Portfolio, by an
assignation in the applicable form of Scottish Transfer, and in respect
of any other matter
10
comprised in the Portfolio, shall be in such form as the Mortgages
Trustee may reasonably require.
6.3 Prior to completion pursuant to Clause 6.1, neither the Mortgages
Trustee nor Funding nor the Security Trustee will:
(a) submit or require the submission of any notice, form, request
or application to or pay any fee for the registration or
recording of, or the noting of any interest at the Land
Charges Department of the Land Registry or at the Land
Registry or the Registers of Scotland in relation to, the
Mortgages Trustee's and/or Funding's interests in the
Portfolio;
(b) give or require the giving of any notice to any Borrower of
the assignment or assignation of that Borrower's Loan and its
Related Security to the Mortgages Trustee or the charge by
Funding of Funding's interest in that Borrower's Loan and its
Related Security to the Security Trustee pursuant to the
Funding Deed of Charge; or
(c) send or require to be sent to any solicitor who has acted on
behalf of the Seller in respect of any Mortgage with respect
to which the Seller has not received a complete set of the
Title Deeds (if applicable) a letter or other communication
requiring such solicitor to hold such documents (if any) to
the order of the Mortgages Trustee or the Security Trustee (as
the case may be).
6.4 Within 25 London Business Days following completion pursuant to Clause
6.1, the Seller will do such of the acts or things referred to in Clause
6.3 as the Security Trustee or the Mortgages Trustee requires the Seller
to do.
6.5 The Seller shall indemnify each of the Mortgages Trustee and Funding and
the Security Trustee from and against any and all costs, fees and
expenses which may be incurred by the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding
and/or the Security Trustee by reason of the doing of any act matter or
thing referred to in this Clause 6.
7. UNDERTAKINGS
7.1 The Mortgages Trustee and Funding undertake that they will at all times
(or will direct the Servicer at all times to) administer and enforce
(and exercise their powers and rights and perform their obligations
under) the Loans comprised in the Portfolio and their Related Security
in accordance with the Seller's Policy (for so long as it exists and
thereafter in accordance with such policies as would be applied by a
reasonable, prudent mortgage lender in the conduct of its business),
provided that if the Seller fails to comply with its obligations to
repurchase any Loan and its Related Security pursuant to Clause 8.5 the
Mortgages Trustee shall be entitled to waive any Early Repayment Fee in
respect of such Loan and its Related Security if, in the Mortgages
Trustee's reasonable opinion, such waiver is reasonably necessary in
order to effect:
(a) an interest rate change; or
(b) a change in the terms and conditions relating to a Loan in
respect of which interest is calculated by reference to SVR,
to a Tracker Loan.
7.2 The Seller hereby undertakes with the Mortgages Trustee and Funding
that, in the event that any Borrower establishes that it has at any time
prior to the Initial Closing Date or, as the case may be, the relevant
Assignment Date, paid to the Seller any amounts in excess of sums due
11
to the Seller as at the date of payment under the Mortgage Conditions
applicable to that Loan, the Seller will reimburse the Borrower for such
overpayment together with any interest, cost or other expense associated
therewith. The Seller further agrees to hold the Mortgages Trustee and
Funding harmless against any such claims and to indemnify the Mortgages
Trustee and Funding on an after Tax basis in relation to any costs,
expense, loss or other claim which may arise in connection therewith.
Any payment made by the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee and Funding in
discharge of the foregoing indemnity shall be regarded as a rebate of
part of the Purchase Price of the relevant Loan.
7.3 If, as a result of a breach of Representation and Warranty 1.19 of
Schedule 1, the Mortgages Trustee or Funding suffers any loss, cost,
expense or liability (any such loss, cost, expense or liability referred
to in this sub-clause as a Loss), then the Seller agrees to hold the
Mortgages Trustee and Funding harmless against any such Loss and to
indemnify the Mortgages Trustee and Funding on an after Tax basis in
relation to any Loss which may arise in connection therewith. If the
Seller fails to so indemnify the Mortgages Trustee and Funding within 30
London Business Days of demand being made therefor, then the amounts due
may be deducted by way of set-off from income due to the Seller pursuant
to Clause 10.2(c) of the Mortgages Trust Deed.
7.4 Each of the Seller and the Mortgages Trustee and Funding undertakes with
the others that if and to the extent that any determination shall be
made by any court, tribunal, ombudsman or other competent authority in
respect of any Loan and its Related Security that:
(a) any material term which relates to the recovery of interest under
the Standard Documentation applicable to that Loan and its Related
Security is unfair; or
(b) the treatment of any Borrower in relation to the interest payable
by that Borrower under any Loan is unfair; or
(c) the interest payable under any Loan is to be set by reference to
the Abbey SVR (and not its successors or assigns or those deriving
title from them); or
(d) the variable margin under any Tracker Loan must be set by Abbey
(rather than by its successors or assigns or those deriving title
from them); or
(e) the interest payable under any Loan is to be set by reference to
an interest rate other than that set or purported to be set by
either the Servicer or the Mortgages Trustee as a result of the
Seller having more than one variable mortgage rate; or
(f) a Borrower should be or should have been offered the opportunity
to switch to an interest rate other than that required by the
Servicer or Mortgage Trustee for that Borrower as a result of the
Seller having more than one variable mortgage rate; or
(g) there has been any breach of or non-observance or non-compliance
with any obligation, undertaking, covenant or condition on the
part of the Seller relating to the interest payable by or
available to a Borrower under any Loan,
then, at Funding's and the Security Trustee's direction, the Mortgages
Trustee will serve upon the Seller a notice in the form of the Loan
Repurchase Notice requiring the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan
and all other Loans under the relevant Mortgage Account and its Related
Security in accordance with Clause 8.5 (but in the case of a
determination in respect of (c) above, only if at any time on or after
such determination, the Abbey SVR shall be below or shall fall below the
standard variable rate set by such successors or assigns or those
deriving title from them).
12
7.5 The Seller hereby undertakes with the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the
Security Trustee that:
(a) if the long term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt
obligations of the Seller cease to be assigned a rating of Baa2 or
more from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and BBB or more from S&P and BBB or more from
Fitch, the Seller shall deliver to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding,
the Security Trustee and the Rating Agencies a draft letters of
notice to each of the Borrowers of the sale and purchase effected
by this Agreement; and
(b) if the long term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt
obligations of the Seller cease to be assigned a rating of Baa3 or
more from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and BBB- or more from S&P and BBB- or more from
Fitch, then the Seller shall within 10 London Business Days of it
becoming aware of such a rating being assigned give notice of the
sale and purchase effected by this Agreement to each Borrower.
7.6 The Seller undertakes with the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the
Security Trustee that, pending completion under Clause 6, the Seller:
(a) shall not do or omit to do any act or thing which might, in the
reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee, prejudice the
interests of Funding and/or the Security Trustee in the Portfolio;
(b) shall promptly notify the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the
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 Loan comprised in the
Portfolio or its Related Security or if it becomes aware of any
material breach of any of the Representations and Warranties or
other obligations under this Agreement;
(c) shall, if reasonably required so to do by the Mortgages Trustee or
the Security Trustee, participate or join in any legal proceedings
to the extent necessary to protect, preserve and enforce the
Seller's or the Mortgages Trustee's or Funding's or the Security
Trustee's title to or interest in any Loan or its Related
Security;
(d) shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain the title numbers to
each Property in respect of which a Mortgage is registered at the
Land Registry or the Land Register of Scotland and the recording
dates of each Scottish Mortgage recorded at the General Register
of Sasines to the extent that such title number or recording date
does not appear in the Exhibit to this Agreement (or, as the case
may be, the relevant New Portfolio Notice) and shall in any event
obtain the same prior to the Interest Payment Date falling in the
month during which the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or,
as the case may be, the relevant Assignment Date) falls; and
(e) shall make and enforce claims under the Buildings Policies and the
Abbey Insurance Policies and hold the proceeds of such claims on
trust for the Mortgages Trustee or as the Mortgages Trustee may
direct.
7.7 The Seller hereby further undertakes with the Mortgages Trustee and
Funding that it is and at all times shall remain solely responsible for
funding any Flexible Loan Drawings made by a Borrower and for funding
any request for any Further Advance made by a Borrower and, for the
avoidance of doubt, neither the Mortgages Trustee nor Funding will be
required to advance moneys to the Seller or to a Borrower in order to
fund such a Flexible Loan Drawing or Further Advance in any
circumstances whatsoever.
13
8. WARRANTIES AND REPURCHASE BY THE SELLER
8.1 The Seller makes the Representations and Warranties:
(a) in respect of each Loan and its Related Security in the
Initial Portfolio as at the date hereof and on the Initial
Closing Date; and
(b) in relation to each New Loan and its Related Security in a New
Portfolio, on the date of the service of the relevant New
Portfolio Notice and on the relevant Assignment Date.
The Seller acknowledges that the Representations and Warranties are made
with a view (as the case may be) to inducing the Mortgages Trustee,
Funding and the 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 Loans and their Related Security comprised in each New
Portfolio and that each of the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the
Security Trustee has entered into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which each is a party in reliance upon the
Representations and Warranties notwithstanding any information in fact
possessed or discoverable by the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and/or the
Security Trustee or otherwise disclosed to any of them and that prior to
entering into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which each is a party neither the Mortgages Trustee nor Funding nor the
Security Trustee has made any enquiries of any matter.
8.2 The Mortgages Trustee's, Funding's and the Security Trustee's sole
remedy in respect of a breach of any of the Representations and
Warranties shall be to take action under this Clause 8 or under Clause 8
of the Mortgages Trust Deed.
8.3 In the event of a material breach of any of the Representations or
Warranties in respect of any Loan and/or its Related Security or if any
of the Representations or Warranties proves to be materially untrue as
at the Closing Date or, as the case may be, the relevant Assignment
Date, and provided that:
(a) the Mortgages Trustee has given the Seller not less than 20 days'
notice in writing;
(b) the Mortgages Trustee has obtained the consent of the Security
Trustee; and
(c) such breach or untruth, where capable of remedy, is not remedied
within the 20 day period referred to in (a) (or such longer period
as Funding and the Security Trustee may direct the Mortgages
Trustee),
then at Funding's and the Security Trustee's direction the Mortgages
Trustee may serve upon the Seller a notice in the form of the Loan
Repurchase Notice requiring the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan
and its Related Security (and any other Loan secured or intended to be
secured by that Related Security or any part of it) in accordance with
Clause 8.5.
8.4 If the Seller accepts an application from, or makes an offer (which is
accepted) to, a Borrower for a Further Advance or a Product Switch then,
at Funding and the Security Trustee's direction, the Mortgages Trustee
will serve upon the Seller a notice in the form of the Loan Repurchase
Notice requiring the Seller to repurchase the relevant Loan and its
Related Security (and any other Loan secured or intended to be secured
by that Related Security or any part of it) in accordance with
Clause 8.5.
14
8.5 Upon receipt of a Loan Repurchase Notice duly signed on behalf of the
Mortgages Trustee, the Seller shall sign and return a duplicate copy and
shall repurchase from the Mortgages Trustee, and the Mortgages Trustee
shall re-assign to the Seller free from the Security created by the
Funding Deed of Charge, the relevant Loan (and any other Loan secured or
intended to be secured by that Related Security or any part of it) and
their Related Security. Completion of such repurchase shall take place
on the Distribution Date after receipt of such notice by the Seller or
such other date as the Mortgages Trustee may direct in the Loan
Repurchase Notice (provided that the date so specified by the Mortgages
Trustee shall not be later than 90 days after receipt by the Seller of
such notice) when the Seller shall pay to the Mortgages Trustee GIC
Account (or as the Mortgages Trustee shall direct) an amount equal to
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of such Loan or Loans and
any Related Security and all Arrears of Interest and Accrued Interest
relating thereto plus any amounts which have been deducted from the
amounts outstanding under that Loan or those Loans as a result of any
determination referred to in Clause 7.4 or any breach of the
Representations and Warranties (whether by set off, concession or
otherwise) as at the date of such repurchase and the provisions of
Clause 8.6 shall apply.
8.6 On the date of completion of any repurchase of a Loan and its Related
Security in accordance with Clause 8.5 above, the Security Trustee, the
Mortgages Trustee and Funding shall at the cost of the Seller execute
and deliver or cause their respective duly authorised attorneys to
execute and deliver to the Seller:
(a) a memorandum of release of such Loan and its Related Security
from the security constituted by the Funding Deed of Charge in
a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller;
(b) if completion of the assignment and assignation to the
Mortgages Trustee has occurred in accordance with Clause 6:
(i) if the relevant Mortgage is over Registered Land, a
transfer of such Mortgage to the Seller in the form of
the Registered Transfer; or
(ii) if the relevant Mortgage is over Unregistered Land, a
transfer 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;
(c) a re-assignment of the rights of the Mortgages Trustee in
respect of the relevant Related Security each in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Seller; and
(d) a notification to the Servicer that all further sums due in
respect of such repurchased Loan are for the Seller's account.
Upon such completion the Seller shall cease to be under any further
obligation to hold any Title Deeds or other documents relating to such
Loan or Loans and its Related Security to the order of the Mortgages
Trustee and if the Mortgages Trustee holds the Title Deeds (if any) it
will return them to the Seller. Any such repurchase by the Seller of a
Loan or Loans and its or their Related Security shall constitute a
discharge and release of the Seller from any claims which the Mortgages
Trustee and/or Funding or the Security Trustee may have against the
Seller arising from the relevant Representation or Warranty in relation
to that Loan or Loans and its or their Related Security only but shall
not affect any rights arising from a breach of any other express
provision of this Agreement or any Representation or Warranty in
relation to any other Loan and other Related Security.
15
8.7 Forthwith after the Seller becomes aware of any event which may
reasonably give rise to an obligation under Clause 8.5 to repurchase any
Loan it shall notify the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and the Security
Trustee in writing thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.
8.8 The terms of this Clause 8 shall not prejudice the rights of the
Mortgages Trustee or the Beneficiaries under the Mortgages Trust Deed.
8.9 The parties to this Agreement may, with the prior consent of the
Security Trustee, waive or amend the Representations and Warranties. In
determining whether to give its consent to the proposed waiver or
amendments to the Representations and Warranties, the Security Trustee
shall, in relation to the First Issue, exercise its discretion in
accordance with the terms of the Funding Deed of Charge and in relation
to the Second Issue, the Third Issue and any New Issue, shall give its
consent thereto provided that the Rating Agencies have confirmed that
the then current ratings of the Notes would not be adversely affected as
a result of such amendments (but without prejudice to the exercise by
the Security Trustee of its discretions in relation to the First Issue).
9. OTHER WARRANTIES
The Seller represents and warrants to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding and
the Security Trustee that:
(a) the Seller has not acquired or owned or possessed any rights
in any Issuer, the Mortgage Trustee or Funding such that it
would "control" such Issuer, the Mortgage Trustee or Funding,
within the meaning of section 416 ICTA; and
(b) there is no "connection" (within the meaning of section 87
Finance Act 1996) between any Issuer and any Borrower.
10. FURTHER ASSURANCE
The parties hereto agree that they will co-operate fully to do all such
further acts and things and execute any further documents that may be
necessary or desirable to give full effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (but subject always to Clause 6).
11. CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH
Without prejudice to Clause 8, Funding and the Mortgages Trustee and the
Security Trustee severally acknowledge to and agree with the Seller, and
the Security Trustee acknowledges to and agrees with Funding and the
Mortgages 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 the Mortgages Trustee and/or
Funding or the assets comprised in the security constituted by the
Funding Deed of Charge by reason of such breach, act or omission. For
this purpose (and without limiting the scope of the above exclusion in
respect of indirect or consequential loss or damage) any loss or damage
suffered by the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 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
shall be treated as indirect or consequential loss or damage.
16
12. SUBORDINATION
The Seller agrees with Funding, the Mortgages Trustee and the Security
Trustee that on the enforcement of any Mortgage any sums owed to the
Seller by a Borrower and which are secured under such Mortgage and the
rights and remedies of the Seller in respect of the sums owed to the
Seller shall at all times be subject and subordinated to any sums owed
to the Mortgages Trustee by the Borrower and which are secured under
such Mortgage and to the rights and remedies of the Mortgages Trustee in
respect of such sums owed to the Mortgages Trustee by the Borrower.
13. NON-MERGER

Closing Date or on any Assignment Date (including in particular, but
without limitation, the liability of the Seller under the

provisions of Clause 4) shall not merge and shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the sale and purchase contemplated by this
Agreement.
14. NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP
It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving rise to any relationship of
agency, save as expressly provided herein, or partnership between the

shall be acting entirely for its own account.

failure to receive any payment is due to an error by the payee's bank.
16. WAIVERS AND VARIATION
16.1 Exercise or failure to exercise any right under this Agreement shall
not, unless otherwise herein provided, constitute a waiver of that or
any other right.

of the Mortgages Trustee or the Security Trustee
to set the variable rate payable under any
Variable Rate Loan independently of (and without
regard to the level of) the Abbey SVR, subject
to any applicable cap on that variable rate
which is not itself linked to any rate set by
the Seller and to set the variable margin under
any Tracker Loan independently of (and without
regard to the level of) any differential set by
the Seller, subject to any applicable cap on
that variable margin which is not itself linked
to any margin set by the Seller.
1.8 The Seller is under no obligation to make further advances (other than
Flexible Loan Drawings, Delayed Cashbacks and Reward Cashbacks) or to
release retentions or to pay fees or other sums relating to any Loan or
its Related Security to any Borrower.
1.9 Each Borrower has made at least one Monthly Payment.
1.10 Other than with respect to monthly payments, no Borrower is or has,
since the date of the relevant Mortgage, been in material breach of any
obligation owed in respect of the relevant Loan or under the Related
Security and accordingly no steps have been taken by the Seller to
enforce any Related Security.
1.11 The total amount of arrears of interest or principal, together with any
fees, commissions and premiums payable at the same time as such interest
payment or principal repayment, on any Loan is not on the Initial
Closing Date (or, as the case may be, the Assignment Date) more than the
Monthly Payment payable in respect of such Loan in respect of the month
in which such date falls and has at no date in the past been more than
two times the Monthly Payment payable in respect of such Loan in respect
of the month in which such date falls.
1.12 No Loan is guaranteed by a third party.
1.13 The Outstanding Principal Balance, all Accrued Interest and all Arrears
of Interest on each Loan and its Related Security constitute a valid
debt due to the Seller from the relevant Borrower and the terms of each
Loan and its Related Security constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Borrower.
1.14 Interest on each Loan is charged in accordance with the Standard
Documentation.
1.15 Interest on each Loan is payable monthly in arrears.
1.16 In respect of each Loan, either:
(a) no agreement for that Loan or any part of it is or has ever
been:
(i) a regulated agreement under the CCA;
(ii) treated as a regulated agreement under the CCA;
a linked transaction under the CCA; or
(iii) liable to be re-opened on the grounds that the credit
bargain is extortionate under the CCA; or
22
(b) to the extent that any agreement for that Loan or any part of it
is or has ever been a regulated agreement or treated as such
under the CCA or is or has ever been a linked transaction under
the CCA all requirements of the CCA have been met in full.
In this warranty 1.16, the CCA means the Consumer Credit ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ as
amended, extended or re-enacted from time to time.
1.17 All of the Borrowers are individuals.
1.18 No Loan in the Initial Portfolio is a Flexible Loan.
1.19 In relation to any Loan in respect of which interest is calculated by
reference to SVR, the Mortgages Trustee or the Security Trustee has a
right pursuant to the Mortgage Terms to set the SVR at any time and from
time to time at a level which is independent of the right pursuant to
the Mortgage Terms to set the variable margin applicable to any Tracker
Loan and such SVR is and will be binding on the Borrower and enforceable
against it. The Seller has not, since the date of the relevant Mortgage,
done or omitted to do any act or thing which has caused any material
non-observance or material non-compliance with nor any material breach
of any obligation, undertaking, covenant or condition on the part of the
Seller under any Loan or its Related Security (and for the purposes of
this warranty, any overpayment which is the subject of Clause 7.2 shall
not be treated as such a material non-observance, non-compliance or
breach).
2. MORTGAGES
2.1 The whole of the Outstanding Principal Balance on each Loan and any
Arrears of Interest and all Accrued Interest is secured by a Mortgage.
2.2 Each Mortgage is in the form of the pro forma contained in the Standard
Documentation.
2.3 Each Mortgage constitutes a valid and subsisting first charge by way of
legal mortgage or first ranking standard security over the relevant
Property (except in the case of some Flexible Loans in respect of which
the Mortgage may constitute valid and subsisting first and second
charges by way of legal mortgage or first and second ranking standard
securities over the relevant Property) subject only in certain
appropriate cases to applications for registrations or recordings at the
Land Registry or the Registers of Scotland which where requisite have
been made and are pending and in relation to such cases the Seller is
not aware of any caution, notice, inhibition or any other matter that
would prevent such registration or recording.
2.4 Each Mortgage (or, in the case of some Flexible Loans, each first and
second Mortgage together) has first priority for the whole of the
Outstanding Principal Balance on the Loan and all Arrears of Interest
and Accrued Interest thereon and all future interest, fees, costs and
expenses payable under or in respect of such Mortgage.
2.5 None of the Mortgages secures a Loan made to a tenant to purchase a
dwelling pursuant to the Housing ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or the Housing (Scotland) ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇ or any subsequent applicable right-to-buy legislation.
2.6 Each Loan and its Related Security is, save in relation to any Loan and
Related Security which is not binding by virtue of the Unfair Terms in
Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 or (as the case may be) the Unfair
Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, valid and binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, none of the Loans or their Related Security is not binding by
virtue of its being unfair
23
pursuant to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 or
(as the case may be) the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations
1999.
2.7 Each of the Mortgages over Registered Land is protected by a restriction
prohibiting any dealings in the relevant title without the consent of
the Seller unless the Seller is prevented by any change in legislation
or the decision of any competent court, authority or regulatory body
applicable to mortgage lenders (or a class of them) generally from
imposing such a restriction.
3. THE PROPERTIES
3.1 All of the Properties are in England, Wales or Scotland.
3.2 Each Property constitutes a separate dwelling unit and is either
freehold, heritable or leasehold.
3.3 Every person who, at the date upon which an English Mortgage was
granted, had attained the age of eighteen and was or was in or about to
be in actual occupation of the relevant Property, is either named as a
Borrower or has signed a Deed of Consent in the form of the pro forma
contained in the Standard Documentation. At the date upon which any
Scottish Mortgage was granted, all necessary MHA Documentation had been
obtained so as to ensure that neither that Scottish Mortgage nor the
related Property is subject to or affected by any statutory right of
occupancy.
3.4 No Property has been let otherwise than by way of:
(a) an assured shorthold tenancy which meets the requirements of
section 19A or section 20 of the Housing ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇; or
(b) an assured tenancy; or
(c) a short assured tenancy which meets the requirements of section
32 of the Housing (Scotland) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇
in each case which meets the Seller's Policy in connection with lettings
to non-owners.
3.5 No Property is the subject of a shared ownership lease arrangement or
staircase purchasing arrangement.
4. VALUERS' AND SOLICITORS' REPORTS
4.1 Not more than six months (or such longer period as may be acceptable to
a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender) prior to the grant of each
Mortgage (excluding any Mortgage granted in relation to a Flexible Loan
as a result of such Loan being the subject matter of a Product Switch to
that Flexible Loan) the Seller received a Valuation Report on the
relevant Property (or such other form of report concerning the valuation
of the relevant Property as would be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent
mortgage lender), the contents of which were such as would be acceptable
to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender.
4.2 The principal amount of the Initial Advance (other than with respect to
Flexible Loans with a LTV ratio of between 75 per cent. and 89.99 per
cent.) advanced to then existing Borrowers of the Seller (including any
retention(s) subsequently advanced to the Borrower but disregarding
Capitalised Expenses) is either:
24
(a) not more than 75 per cent. of the lower of the purchase price
and the appraised value of the Property as stated in the
valuation report referred to above in paragraph 4.1 (the
APPRAISED VALUE) (or, in case of a remortgage, of the appraised
value) of the Property; or
(b) greater than 75 per cent. (but not more than 95 per cent.) of
the lower of the purchase price and the appraised value (or, in
the case of a remortgage, of the appraised value), in which
case, as regards such Loans made prior to 1st January, 2002 that
part of the Initial Advance which exceeds 75 per cent. of the
lower of the purchase price and the appraised value (or, in the
case of a remortgage, of the appraised value) is, prior to the
Seller exercising its right to cancel the MIG Policies,
recoverable under a MIG Policy.
4.3 Prior to the taking of each Mortgage (excluding any Mortgage granted in
relation to a Flexible Loan as a result of such Loan being the subject
matter of a Product Switch to that Flexible Loan), the Seller:
(a) instructed the Seller's solicitor or licensed or qualified
conveyancer:
(i) to carry out an investigation of title to the relevant
Property and to undertake such other searches,
investigation, enquiries and other actions on behalf of
the Seller as are set out in the General Instructions to
Solicitors or the Lenders' Handbook contained in the
Standard Documentation (or other comparable or successor
instructions and/or guidelines as may for the time being
be in place), subject only to such variations as would
be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender;
or
(ii) in the case of a re-mortgage to carry out a more limited
form of investigation of title for the relevant Property
(including, in the case of Registered Land confirming
that the Borrower is the registered proprietor of the
Property and that the description of the Property
corresponds with the entries on the relevant register at
the Land Registry) and to confirm all other matters as
would be required by a reasonable, prudent mortgage
lender; and
(b) received a Certificate of Title from the solicitor or licensed
or qualified conveyancer referred to in paragraph (a) relating
to such Property the contents of which were such as would be
acceptable to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender.
4.4 The benefit of all Valuation Reports any other valuation report referred
to in paragraph 4.1, Home Loan Protection Policies and Certificates of
Title can be validly assigned to the Mortgages Trustee without obtaining
the consent of the relevant valuer, Insurer, solicitor or licensed or
qualified conveyancer.
4.5 Each solicitor or licensed or qualified conveyancer has complied with
the instructions referred to in paragraph 4.3(a).
5. BUILDINGS INSURANCE
5.1 Insurance cover for each Property is or will at all relevant times be
available under:
(a) a policy arranged by the Borrower in accordance with the
relevant Mortgage Conditions or in accordance with the
Alternative Insurance Recommendations; or
(b) Abbey National Plc Policies or a policy introduced to the
Borrower by the Seller; or
25
(c) a policy arranged by the relevant landlord; or
(d) the Properties in Possession Policy.
5.2 No act, event or circumstance has occurred which would adversely affect
the Properties in Possession Policy or entitle the insurers to refuse to
make payment thereunder or to reduce the amount payable in respect of
any claim thereunder.
5.3 All claims under the Properties in Possession Policy have been paid in
full within a reasonable time of the date of submission of the claim
and, save in respect of minor claims, there are no claims outstanding.
6. THE SELLER'S TITLE
6.1 The Seller has good title to, and is the absolute unencumbered legal and
beneficial owner of, all property, interests, rights and benefits agreed
to be sold by the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement free and clear of all mortgages, securities, charges, liens,
encumbrances, claims and equities (including, without limitation, rights
of set-off or counterclaim and unregistered interests which override
first registration and a registered disposition within the meaning of
Schedules 1 and 3 to the Land Registration Act 2002 and overriding
interests within the meaning of section 28(1) of the Land Registration
(Scotland) Act 1979) and the Seller is not in breach of any covenant or
obligation implied by reason of its selling the Portfolio with full
title guarantee or absolute warrandice (or which would be implied if the
Registered Transfers or Unregistered Transfers or Scottish Transfers, as
applicable, were completed).
6.2 All steps necessary to perfect the Seller's title to the Loans and the
Related Security were duly taken at the appropriate time or are in the
process of being taken, in each case (where relevant) within any
applicable priority periods or time limits for registration with all due
diligence and without undue delay.
6.3 Save for Title Deeds (if any) held at the Land Registry or the Registers
of Scotland, the Title Deeds and the Customer Files relating to each of
the Loans and their Related Security are held by, or are under the
control of:
(a) the Seller; or
(b) the Seller's solicitors to the order of the Seller,
and the Title Deeds (if any) held at the Land Registry or the Registers
of Scotland have been sent to it with a request that any such Title
Deeds will be returned to the Seller or its solicitors on its behalf.
6.4 Neither the entry by the Seller into this Agreement nor any transfer or
assignment contemplated by this Agreement affects or will adversely
affect any of the Loans and their Related Security and the Seller may
freely assign its interest therein without breaching any term or
condition applying to any of them.
6.5 The Seller has not knowingly waived or acquiesced in any breach of any
of its rights in respect of a Loan or Mortgage, other than waivers and
acquiescence such as a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender might make.

keeping of full and proper accounts, books and records showing clearly
all transactions, payments, receipts, proceedings and notices relating
to such Loan.
7.2 Neither the Seller nor any of its agents has received written notice of
any litigation or dispute (subsisting, threatened or pending) in respect
of any Borrower, Property, Loan, Related Security, Properties in
Possession Policy or, prior to Seller exercising its right to cancel the
MIG Policies, any MIG Policy which might have a material adverse effect
on the Trust Property or any part of it.
7.3 The Seller has received from each Borrower a variable direct debit
instruction in favour of the Seller signed by the relevant Borrower and
addressed to its bank, variable as to the amount payable by such
Borrower by unilateral notice given from time to time by the Seller to
such Borrower's bank without further instruction or consent from such
Borrower or such other method of payment as may be acceptable to a
reasonable, prudent mortgage lender.
7.4 There are no authorisations, approvals, licences or consents required as
appropriate for the Seller to enter into or to perform the obligations
under this Agreement or to render this Agreement legal, valid, binding,
enforceable and admissible in evidence.

against the relevant insurer by the Mortgages Trustee and the Security

SCHEDULE 4
LENDING CRITERIA
LENDING CRITERIA
The Loans in the Initial Portfolio or, as the case may be, the relevant New
Portfolio were originated according to the Seller's lending policy at the
relevant time, which in the case of the Initial Portfolio included the criteria
set out below. However, the Seller retains the right to revise its lending
policy from time to time, and so the criteria applicable to the New Loans may
not be the same as those set out below.
1. TYPES OF PROPERTY
Properties may be either freehold or leasehold. In the case of leasehold
properties, the unexpired portion of the lease must in most cases not
expire earlier than 30 years after the term of the Loan.
All properties have been valued by a valuer approved by the Seller.
2. TERM OF LOAN
There is a minimum term on the Loans of 5 years. The maximum term is
normally 35 years. For interest only loans where the Borrower is using a
pension plan as the relevant repayment mechanism to repay the loan at
maturity, the maximum term is extended to 57 years to reflect the
long-term nature of pension plans. For such pension-linked loans, if the
property is a leasehold and the lease has 55 or fewer years unexpired as
at the date of completion of the mortgage, the maximum term is 25 years.
Otherwise, the maximum term on a leasehold property may not exceed the
unexpired residue of the term of the relevant lease.
3. AGE OF APPLICANT
All Borrowers must be aged 18 or over. There is no maximum age limit
unless the Mortgage Account is linked to a pension policy when the
Mortgage Account must mature no later than the time when the Borrower
reaches 75 years of age.
4. LOAN TO VALUE RATIO
The maximum original loan to value ratio of Loans in the Initial
Portfolio is 95 per cent. (excluding any capitalised high loan to value
fee, booking fee or valuation fee).
Value is determined, in the case of a remortgage, on the basis of the
valuer's valuation only and, in the case of a Property which is being
purchased, on the lower of the valuer's valuation and the purchase price
and, in the case of a further advance, on the basis of the valuer's
valuation or, where appropriate, according to a methodology which would
meet the standards of a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender and which
has been approved by the Director of Group Property and Survey of the
Seller (or his successor).
31
5. MORTGAGE INDEMNITY POLICY
Cover under the then current MIG Policies was required for each Mortgage
Account where the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Balance at
origination (excluding capitalised High Loan-to-Value Fees, booking fees
or valuation fees), or the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance
(including any further advance at the time at which it was advanced),
exceeded 75 per cent. of the Property value as determined above.
6. STATUS OF APPLICANT(S)
The maximum amount of the aggregate Loan(s) under a Mortgage Account is
determined by a number of factors, including the applicant's income. In
determining income, the Seller includes basic salary, regular overtime,
bonus and commission as primary income. If these payments are not
guaranteed or regular, they are treated as secondary income, together
with, inter alia, rental income from tenanted residential property (up
to 75 per cent. of such rental income).
In the case of low credit risk Loans with an LTV ratio of equal to or
less than 75 per cent. Borrowers (whether employed or self-employed) may
certify as to their own income. For Loans with an LTV of more than 75
per cent. self-employed applicants must provide one of the following to
certify as to their own income: an accountant's letter; minimum 2 years'
signed accounts; or minimum 2 years' self-assessment returns and tax
calculation forms and employed Borrowers must submit documentation (such
as pay slips or bank statements) to certify as to their own income.
The amount available to a Borrower is initially calculated as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total LTV <=75% LTV <90% LTV >=90%
gross
primary
income
[POUND]k's
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single Joint Single Joint Single Joint

------------------------------------------------------------------------
>60 4.5 4.5 4.5 4.5 3.6 3.6
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Seller may exercise discretion within its lending criteria in
applying those factors which are used to determine the maximum amount of
the Loan(s). Accordingly, these parameters may vary for some Loans.
This criterion is similarly applied to the relevant share of net profit
for self employed applicants.
The Seller may exercise discretion within its lending criteria in
applying those factors which are used to determine the maximum amount of
the Loan(s). Accordingly, the above parameters may vary.
7. CREDIT HISTORY
32
(a) Credit Search
A credit search is carried out in respect of all applicants.
Applications may be declined where an adverse credit history (e.g.
county court judgment, default, bankruptcy notice) is revealed.
(b) Existing Lender's Reference
The Seller may also seek a reference from any existing and/or previous
lender. Any reference must satisfy the Seller that the account has been
properly conducted and that no history of material arrears exists.
(c) First Time Buyers/Applicants in rented accommodation
Where applicants currently reside in rented accommodation, a landlord's
reference may be sought by the Seller. In addition, if considered
appropriate, a further reference may be taken in connection with any
other property rented by the applicant(s) within the three preceding
years.
(d) Bank Reference
A bank reference may be sought or the applicants may be required to
provide bank statements in support of their application.
8. SCORECARD
The Seller uses some of the above criteria and various other criteria to
provide an overall score for the application which reflects a
statistical analysis of the risk of advancing the Loan.
