("S&P") and, as a result of such cessation, the then current rating of the Issuer Notes is downgraded or placed under review for possible downgrade by S&P (an "INITIAL S&P RATING EVENT"), then Party A will, within 30 days of the occurrence of such Initial S&P Rating Event, at its own cost either: 25 (A) put in place an appropriate mark-to-market collateral agreement (which may be based on the credit support documentation published by ISDA, or otherwise, and relates to collateral in the form of cash or securities or both) in support of its obligations under this Agreement provided that (x) Party A will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of S&P if the amount of collateral agreed to be provided in the form of cash and/or securities (the "COLLATERAL AMOUNT") is determined on a basis which satisfies (but is no more onerous than) the criteria of S&P published on 17th December, 2003, which enables entities rated lower than a specified level to participate in structured finance transactions which, through collateralisation, are rated at a higher level (the "S&P CRITERIA"), (y) the Collateral Amount will not be required to exceed such amount as would be required (in accordance with the S&P Criteria) to maintain or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes at or to the level they would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event [and (z) the enforceability of such collateral arrangement must be supported by legal opinions with respect to each relevant jurisdiction provided in a form reasonably acceptable to S&P within 30 days of the occurrence of such Initial S&P Rating Event]; (B) transfer all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to a replacement third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such transfer would maintain the ratings of the Issuer Notes by S&P at, or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes by S&P to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event); (C) obtain a guarantee of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement from a third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if S&P confirms that such guarantee would maintain the rating of the Issuer Notes at, or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event); or (D) take such other action as Party A may agree with S&P as will result in the rating of the Issuer Notes following the taking of such action being maintained at, or restored to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial S&P Rating Event.

If any of paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) above are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (i)(A) above will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.

If any of paragraphs (iv)(1)(aa), (bb) or (cc) are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (iv)(2) will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.

"MOODY'S CRITERIA" means that the Collateral Amount will equal: (a) 102 per cent. of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions as determined by Party A in good faith on a weekly basis if the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A (or its successor) or any Credit Support Provider in respect of Party A are downgraded below "A1"; (b) if the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations or short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A (or its successor) or any Credit Support Provider in respect of Party A are downgraded below "A2" or "Prime-1" by Moody's, the sum of: (i) 102 per cent. of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions determined by Party A in good faith on a weekly basis; and (ii) the sum of: (A) the aggregate of the amounts, determined in respect of each class and series of Issuer Notes, equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of that class and series of Issuer Notes at the time of determination multiplied by the weighted average life of that class and series of Issuer Notes, as at the date of determination (expressed in days) divided by 365 (such aggregate, the "BUFFER NOTIONAL") multiplied by the product of 0.2 per cent. and the Fixed Rate Ratio; and (B) the Buffer Notional multiplied by the product of 0.1 per cent. and the sum of: (aa) the Variable Rate Ratio; and (bb) the Tracker Ratio; and (c) if the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations or short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A (or its successor) or any Credit Support Provider in respect of Party A are downgraded below "Baa2" or "Prime-2" by Moody's, the sum of: (i) 102 per cent. of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions determined by Party A in good faith on a weekly basis; and (ii) the sum of: (A) the Buffer Notional multiplied by the product of 0.4 per cent. and the Fixed Rate Ratio; and (B) the Buffer Notional multiplied by the product of 0.2 per cent. and the sum of: (aa) the Variable Rate Ratio; and (bb) the Tracker Ratio. For the purposes of determining the Buffer Notional Amount, Party A will calculate the weighted average life of each series and class of Issuer Notes using (1) such assumptions as will reflect the then 29 current expectations of Party A and/or be based upon such circumstances as Party A may, in good faith, determine applicable; and, notwithstanding for the avoidance of doubt (1) above; assuming (2) that the constant payment rate of the Loans comprised within the Portfolio will be equal to the Annualised CPR in respect of the Calculation Date immediately preceding the Funding 1 Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of determination; (3) that the relevant Issuer will not exercise its call option to redeem such Issuer Notes in full on the Step-up Date, if any, in respect of such Issuer Notes; and (4) that sufficient Loans will be assigned to the Mortgages Trustee so that the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of Loans in the Portfolio is not less than that required to be maintained by the Seller pursuant to Clause 4.7 of the Mortgage Sale Agreement (as amended and /or restated from time to time). In relation to paragraphs (ii)(4) and (iii)(2) above, Party A will, upon receipt of reasonable notice from Moody's demonstrate to Moody's the calculation by Party A of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions. In relation to paragraph (iii)(2) above, Party A will, at its own cost, on receipt of reasonable notice from Moody's (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be no less than 30 days) arrange an audit of the methodology used by Party A in the calculation of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions. (v) In the event that the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Party A (or its successor) or any Credit Support Provider from time to time in respect of Party A cease to be rated at least as high as "F1" (or its equivalent) by Fitch Ratings Ltd ("FITCH") and, as a result of such cessation, the then current rating of the Issuer Notes is downgraded or placed under review for possible downgrade by Fitch (an "INITIAL FITCH RATING EVENT") then Party A will, on a reasonable efforts basis within 30 days of the occurrence of such Initial Fitch Rating Event, at its own cost, either: (A) put in place an appropriate mark-to-market collateral agreement in a form and substance acceptable to Fitch (which may be based on the credit support documentation published by ISDA, or otherwise, and relates to collateral in the form of cash or securities or both to be posted on a weekly basis) in support of its obligations under this Agreement provided that (x) Party A will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Fitch if the Collateral Amount is determined on a basis which is no more onerous than the Fitch Criteria (as defined below), and (y) the Collateral Amount will not be required to exceed such amount as would be required (in accordance with the Fitch Criteria) to maintain or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes at or to the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial Fitch Rating Event; (B) transfer all of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to a replacement third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if Fitch confirms that such transfer would maintain the rating of the Issuer Notes by Fitch at, or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes by Fitch to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial Fitch Rating Event); (C) obtain a guarantee of its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement from a third party satisfactory to the Security Trustee (whose consent will be given if Fitch confirms that such guarantee would maintain the rating of the Issuer Notes at, or restore the rating of the Issuer Notes to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial Fitch Rating Event); or (D) take such other action as Party A may agree with Fitch as will result in the rating of the Issuer Notes following the taking of such action being maintained at, or restored 30 to, the level it would have been at immediately prior to such Initial Fitch Rating Event. If any of paragraphs (v)(B), (v)(C) or (v)(D) above are satisfied at any time, all collateral (or the equivalent thereof, as appropriate) transferred by Party A pursuant to paragraph (v)(A) above will be transferred to Party A and Party A will not be required to transfer any additional collateral.

"FITCH CRITERIA" means that the Collateral Amount will equal the sum of: (a) 100 per cent. of the mark-to-market value of the outstanding Transactions as determined by Party A in good faith on a weekly basis; and (b) the product of: (i) the aggregate of the amounts, determined in respect of each class and series of Issuer Notes, equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of such class and series of Issuer Notes as at the date of determination multiplied by the number of days remaining from the date of the determination to the Expected Repayment Date (as defined below) in respect of such class and series of Issuer Notes divided by 365, and (ii) 0.1 per cent. multiplied by the Fixed Rate Ratio. "EXPECTED REPAYMENT DATE" means in respect of each class and series of Issuer Notes the earlier of the Step Up Date of such class and series of Issuer Notes and the Final Maturity Date of such class and series of Issuer Notes. (vii) (A) If Party A does not take any of the measures described in paragraph (i) above, such failure will not be or give rise to an Event of Default but will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A which will be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day following the S&P Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions. [(B) If, at the time a Subsequent S&P Rating Event occurs, Party A has provided collateral and fails to continue to post collateral pending compliance with any of paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) [or (ii)(C)] above, such failure will not be or give rise to an Event of Default but will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A and will be deemed to have occurred on the [tenth] day following such Subsequent S&P Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions. Further, it will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A if, even if it is posting collateral as required by paragraph (ii) above and notwithstanding Section 5(a)(ii), Party A does not take any of the measures described in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) [or (ii)(C)] above. Such Additional Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day following the Subsequent S&P Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions.] (C) If Party A does not take any of the measures described in paragraph (iii)(1), (2), (3) or (4) above, such failure will not be or give rise to an Event of Default but will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A and will be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day following the occurrence of such Initial Moody's Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions. (D) If Party A does not take the measures described in paragraph (iv)(2) above, such failure will give rise to an Event of Default with respect to Party A and will be 32 deemed to have occurred on the tenth day following such Subsequent Moody's Rating Event with Party A as the Defaulting Party. Further, it will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A if, even after satisfying the requirements of paragraph (iv)(2) above, Party A has failed, within 30 days following such Subsequent Moody's Rating Event, to either transfer as described in paragraph (iv)(1)(aa), find a co-obligor as described in paragraph (iv)(1)(bb) or take such other action as described in paragraph (iv)(1)(cc). Such Additional Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day following such Subsequent Moody's Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions. (E) If Party A does not take the measures described in paragraph (v) above, such failure will not be or give rise to an Event of Default but will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A which will be deemed to have occurred on the thirtieth day following the Initial Fitch Rating Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party and all Transactions as Affected Transactions. (F) If Party A does not take the measures described in paragraph (vi)(B) above, such failure will give rise to an Event of Default with respect to Party A and will be deemed to have occurred on the tenth day following such Subsequent Fitch Rating Event with Party A as the Defaulting Party. Further, it will constitute an Additional Termination Event with respect to Party A if, even after satisfying the requirements of paragraph (vi)(B) above, Party A has failed, within 30 days following such Subsequent Fitch Rating Event, to either transfer as described in paragraph (vi)(A)(1), find a co-obligor as described in paragraph (vi)(A)(2) or take such other action as described in paragraph (vi)(A)(3).

If a party ("X") is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party (the "DEDUCTING PARTY"): (1) will promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement; (2) will pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any Gross Up Amount (as defined below) paid by the Deducting Party to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been assessed against Y; (3) will promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such payment to such authorities; and (4) if X is Party A, X will promptly pay in addition to the payment to which Party B is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount (the "GROSS UP AMOUNT") as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Party B will equal the full amount which Party B would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. (ii) Liability If: (1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax; and (2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and (3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X, then, except to the extent that Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such Tax, (A) where X is Party B, Party A will promptly pay to Party B the amount of such liability (the "LIABILITY AMOUNT") (including any related liability for interest and together with an amount equal to the Tax payable by Party B on receipt of such amount but including any related liability for penalties only if Party A has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) and Party B will promptly pay to the relevant government revenue authority the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest and penalties) and (B) where X is Party A and Party A would have been required to pay a Gross Up Amount to Party B, Party A will promptly pay to the relevant government revenue authority the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest and penalties).

(k) SECURITY, ENFORCEMENT AND LIMITED RECOURSE Party A agrees with Party B and the Security Trustee to be bound by the terms of the Funding 1 Deed of Charge and, in particular, confirms that: (A) no sum will be payable by or on behalf of Party B to it except in accordance with the provisions of the Funding 1 Deed of Charge; and (B) it will not take any steps for the winding up, dissolution or reorganisation or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar officer of Party B or of any or all of its revenues and assets nor participate in any ex parte proceedings nor seek to enforce any judgment against Party B, subject to the provisions of the Funding 1 Deed of Charge. In relation to all sums due and payable by Party B to Party A, Party A agrees that it will have recourse only to Funding 1 Revenue Receipts and Funding 1 Principal Receipts, but always subject to the order of priority of payments set out in the Third Issuer Cash Management Agreement and the Third Issuer Deed of Charge.

(n) ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS Words and expressions defined in the Amended and Restated Master Definitions and Construction Schedule (the "MASTER SCHEDULE") signed on or about {circle}, 2004 and any other Master Definitions and Construction Schedule, each as amended, varied or supplemented from time to time (together the "MASTER DEFINITIONS SCHEDULE") will, except so far as the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning in this Agreement. The rules of interpretation set out in the Master Definitions Schedule will apply to this Agreement. 36 (o) MODIFICATIONS TO CLOSE-OUT PROVISIONS Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Party A or an Additional Termination Event which entitles Party B to terminate any Affected Transaction pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement, Party B will be entitled (but not obliged in the event that it does not designate an Early Termination Date) to proceed in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement, subject to the following: (i) For the purposes of Section 6(d)(i), Party B's obligation with respect to the extent of information to be provided with its calculations is limited to information Party B has already received in writing and provided Party B is able to release this information without breaching the provisions of any law applicable to, or any contractual restriction binding upon, Party B. (ii) The following amendments will be deemed to be made to the definition of "Market Quotation": (A) the word "firm" will be added before the word "quotations" in the second line; and (B) the words ", provided that such documentation would either be the same as this Agreement and the existing confirmations hereto (and the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Reference Market-maker are rated not less than ["BBB-"] by S&P and "A1" by Moody's and the short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Reference Market-maker are rated not less than "Prime-1" by Moody's and "F1" by Fitch (or, if such Reference Market-maker is not rated by a Rating Agency, at such equivalent rating that is acceptable to such Rating Agency)) or the Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing that such proposed documentation will not adversely impact the ratings of the Notes" will be added after "agree" in the sixteenth line; and (C) the last sentence will be deleted and replaced with the following: "If, on the last date set for delivery of quotations, exactly two quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be either (a) the lower of the two quotations where there would be a sum payable by Party A to Party B, or (b) the higher of the two quotations where there would be a sum payable by Party B to Party A. If only one quotation is provided on such date, Party B may, in its discretion, accept such quotation as the Market Quotation and, if Party B does not accept such quotation (or if no quotation has been provided), it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of the Terminated Transaction cannot be determined. If no quotation has been provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of the Terminated Transaction cannot be determined." (iii) For the purpose of the definition of "Market Quotation", and without limitation of the general rights of Party B under the Agreement: (A) Party B will undertake to use its reasonable efforts to obtain at least three firm quotations as soon as reasonably practicable after the Early Termination Date and in any event within the time period specified pursuant to Part 5(o)(iii)(C) below; (B) Party A will, for the purposes of Section 6(e), be permitted to obtain on behalf of Party B quotations from Reference Market-makers; 37 (C) If no quotations have been obtained within 6 Local Business Days after the occurrence of the Early Termination Date or such longer period as Party B may specify in writing to Party A, then it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of the Terminated Transaction cannot be determined; (D) Party B will be deemed to have discharged its obligations under Part 5(o)(iii)(A) above if it promptly requests, in writing, Party A (such request to be made within two Local Business Days after the occurrence of the Early Termination Date) to obtain on behalf of Party B quotations from Reference Market-makers. Party A agrees to act in accordance with such request; and (E) Party B will not be obliged to consult with Party A as to the day and time of obtaining any quotations. (p) TRANSFER POLICY Subject to the constraints otherwise provided by Section 7 of this Agreement, but without prejudice to Section 6(b)(ii) as amended in this Schedule, Party A may transfer all (but not part only) of its interests and obligations in and under this Agreement to another entity (a "TRANSFEREE") with the prior written consent of the Note Trustee, provided that: (i) the Transferee's short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are then rated not less than "A-1+" by S&P, "Prime-1" by Moody's and "F1" by Fitch and its long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are then rated not less than ["BBB-"] by S&P, "A1" by Moody's and "A+" by Fitch (or its equivalent by any substitute rating agency) or such Transferee's obligations under this Agreement are guaranteed by an entity whose short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are then rated not less than "A-1+" by S&P, "Prime-1" by Moody's and "F1" by Fitch and whose long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations are then rated not less "AA-" by S&P, "A1" by Moody's and "A+" by Fitch (or its equivalent by any substitute rating agency); (ii) the Ratings Agencies have confirmed that the transfer will not result in the then current rating of the Issuer Notes being downgraded; (iii) the Transferee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date to withhold or deduct on account of any Tax (except in respect of default interest) amounts in excess of that which Party A would, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date have been required to so withhold or deduct unless the Transferee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) corresponding to such excess; (iv) a Termination Event or Event of Default does not occur as a result of such transfer; (v) no additional amount will be payable by Party B to Party A or the Transferee on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date as a result of such transfer; and (vi) the Transferee confirms in writing that it will accept all of the interests and obligations in and under this Agreement which are to be transferred to it in accordance with the terms of this provision. With respect to paragraph (iii) above, each party agrees to make such Payee Tax Representations and Payer Tax Representations as may reasonably be requested by the other party in order to reasonably 38 satisfy such other party that such withholding or deduction will not occur. Following the transfer, all references to Party A will be deemed to be references to the Transferee. 39 DRAFT (1): 26.02.04 FUNDING 1 SWAP CONFIRMATION From: Halifax plc Trinity Road Halifax West Yorkshire HX1 2RG To: Permanent Funding (No. 1) Limited Blackwell House Guildhall Yard London EC2V 5AE Attention: The Secretary To: The Bank of New York One Canada Square London E14 5AL Attention: Global Structured Finance - Corporate Trust {circle}, 2004 Dear Sirs, CONFIRMATION - FUNDING 1 SWAP This confirmation hereby amends and replaces the confirmation entered into between us, you and the Security Trustee on 14th June, 2002, as amended and restated on 6th March, 2003 and 25th November, 2003 (the PREVIOUS CONFIRMATION).
