SALE AND PURCHASE OF NEW PORTFOLIOS 4.1 Subject to fulfilment of the conditions set out in Clauses 2.2, 3.1, 4.2 and 4.3, if the Seller shall, at any time and from time to time serve a properly completed New Portfolio Notice on the Mortgages Trustee and Funding with a copy to the Security Trustee (such service to be in the Seller's sole discretion), then on the date for completion of the sale and assignment specified in the New Portfolio Notice the Seller shall sell with full title guarantee (or in 4 relation to rights and assets situated in or governed by the law of Scotland, with absolute warrandice) to the Mortgages Trustee the relevant New Portfolio. 4.2 The conditions to be met as at each Assignment Date are: (a) the Seller shall as at the relevant Assignment Date make the Representations and Warranties to the Mortgages Trustee, 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 Warranties must be true in relation to each New Loan (but if such Representation and Warranties are only discovered to be untrue after the relevant Assignment Date, the Mortgages Trustee's only remedy shall be under Clause 7); (b) the Lending Criteria applicable at the time of origination of each relevant New Loan have been applied to the New Loan and to the circumstances of the Borrower at the time the New Loan was made; (c) the total amount of arrears in respect of all the Loans in the 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 respect of which the aggregate amount in arrears is more than three times the Monthly Payment then due, is less than 4 per 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 Mortgage constitutes 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 appropriate cases) to registration or recording at the 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; (i) each Borrower has made at least one full Monthly Payment in respect of the relevant New Loan; (j) no event of default under the Transaction Documents shall have occurred which is continuing as at the relevant Assignment Date; 5 (k) the Principal Deficiency Ledger shall not have a debit balance as at the relevant Assignment Date; (l) the Mortgages Trustee is not aware that the credit rating then assigned to any of the Notes by the Ratings Agencies (or any of them) will be adversely affected by the purchase of the relevant New Portfolio; (m) unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Rating Agency, the short term, unsecured, unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Seller are rated at least P-1 by Moody's, A-1 by S&P and F1 by Fitch at the time of, and immediately following, the assignment of the New Loans to the Mortgages Trustee; (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. (by number) of the Loans and their related Security in the Mortgages Trust at the expiry of any Interest Period shall have been in the Mortgages Trust 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: (AxB)+(Cx(D-E+F))+(Gx(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 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 6 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; and (s) 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.

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 7 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: (a) in respect of the first New Portfolio assigned on or after the 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;

(c) a duly executed assignment of rights against third parties comprised in the relevant New Portfolio dated as of the date of the sale and purchase of the New Portfolio and in the form (mutatis mutandis) of the Assignment of Third Party Rights; (d) a certificate of a duly authorised officer of the Seller attaching a copy of the board minute referred to in Clause 3.1(d) 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; (e) a solvency certificate from the Seller dated as of the date of the sale and purchase of the New Portfolio; and (f) 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 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. 4.7 Prior to the earlier to occur of: (a) a Trigger Event;

and (ii) up to and including 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)2,500,000,000, (or such other amount or amounts specified by Funding in the notice 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). 5.

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 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.

If the Seller fails to so indemnify the Mortgages Trustee and Funding within 30 11 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). 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 Moody's 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 Moody's and BBB- or more from S&P and BBB- or more from Fitch, then the Seller shall within 10 London 12 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 Drawing or Further Advance in any circumstances whatsoever. 7.8 The Mortgages Trustee undertakes with the Seller to duly execute on the date of this Agreement the assignment of its right to cancel the MIG Policies to the Seller, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 10 hereto and to deliver forthwith a notice of such assignment to Carfax or such other insurer under the MIG Policies substantially in the form set out in Schedule 11. The Mortgages Trustee shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure, at the expense of the Seller, that Carfax or such other insurer under the MIG Policies consents to such assignment of the right to cancel the MIG Policies and confirms the same to the Seller 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 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 it 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 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 (which shall, in the case of the re-assignment of the MIG Policies (if applicable), be substantially in the form of the Assignment of MIG Policies); and (d) a notification to the Servicer that all further sums due in respect of such repurchased Loan are for the Seller's account. 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 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 15 any other express provision of this Agreement or any Representation or Warranty in relation to any other Loan and other Related Security. 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 within the meaning of section 416 ICTA 1988; and (b) there is not any "connection" (within the meaning of section 87 Finance Act 1996) between any Issuer and any Borrower. 10. FURTHER ASSURANCE The parties hereto agree that they will co-operate fully to do all such further acts and things and execute any further documents that may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but subject always to Clause 6). 11. CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH Without prejudice to 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 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 indemnity in Clause 6.5 and the provisions of Clause 4) shall not merge and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the sale and purchase contemplated by this Agreement. 14. NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving rise to any relationship of agency, 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. 15. PAYMENTS Except as otherwise specifically provided, all payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in sterling in immediately available funds 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. 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. 16.2 No variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by (or by some person duly authorised by) each of the parties hereto. 17.

Loans 1.1 The particulars of the Loans set out in the Exhibit (or, as the case may be, the relevant New Portfolio Notice) are true, complete and accurate in all material respects. 1.2 Each Loan was originated by the Seller and was originated and is denominated in pounds sterling (or was originated and is denominated in Euro if the Euro has been adopted as the lawful currency for the time being of the United Kingdom). 1.3 Each Loan in the Initial Portfolio was made not earlier than 1st August, 1995 and not later than 31st December, 1999, and each Loan in each New Portfolio was made not later than three calendar months before the relevant Assignment Date and each Loan matures for repayment not later than July 2038. 1.4 No Loan has an Outstanding Principal Balance of more than(pound)350,000. 1.5 The Lending Criteria are the lending criteria applicable to the Loans and their Related Security. 1.6 Prior to the making of each Initial Advance or Further Advance: (a) the Lending Criteria and all preconditions to the making of any Loan were satisfied in all material respects subject only to such exceptions as would be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender; and (b) the requirements of the relevant MIG Policy were met, so far as applicable to that Loan. 1.7 (a) Each Loan was made and its Related Security taken substantially on the terms of the Standard Documentation without any material variation thereto and nothing has been done subsequently to add to, lessen, modify or otherwise vary the express provisions of any of the same in any material respect. (b) The brochures, application forms, offers, offer conditions and marketing material distributed by the Seller to the Borrower when offering a Loan to a Borrower: (i) do not conflict in any material respect with the terms of the relevant Standard Documentation agreed to by the relevant Borrower at the time that the Loan was entered into; (ii) do not conflict with and would not prohibit or otherwise limit the terms of, the Transaction Documents or the matters contemplated thereby, including for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation: (A) the assignment of the Loans and their Related Security to the Mortgages Trustee; (B) the administration of the Loans and their Related Security by the Seller or a delegate of the Seller or the appointment of a new Servicer 21 following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation to the Seller; and (C) so far as the Seller is aware to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, the ability of the Mortgages Trustee or the Security Trustee to set the variable rate payable under any Variable Rate Loan independently of (and without regard to the level of) the 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 and Delayed 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 22 (iii) liable to be re-opened on the grounds that the credit bargain is extortionate under the CCA; or (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 Act 1974 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 Act 1985 or the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 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 23 binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, none of the Loans or their Related Security is not binding by virtue of its being unfair pursuant to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 or (as the case may be) the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. 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.

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 Abbey (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 an 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.

MIG Policies 6.1 Where applicable and prior to the Seller exercising its right to cancel the MIG Policies, the MIG Policies are in full force and effect in relation to the Portfolio and all premiums thereon have been paid. 6.2 Prior to the Seller exercising its right to cancel the MIG Policies, the benefit of the MIG Policies can be and will, with effect from the Closing Date (or, as the case may be, the relevant Assignment Date), have been (or, as the case may be, will be) validly assigned to the Mortgages Trustee and charged to the Security Trustee, insofar as they relate to the Initial Portfolio (or, as the case may be, the relevant New Portfolio). 6.3 Prior to the Seller exercising its right to cancel the MIG Policies, no act, event or circumstance has occurred which would adversely affect the MIG Policies or entitle the insurers to refuse to make payment thereunder or to reduce the amount payable in respect of any claim thereunder in each case so as adversely to affect the Trust Property or any part of it. 6.4 Prior to the Seller exercising its right to cancel the MIG Policies, all valid claims under the MIG Policies have been paid in full within a reasonable time of the date of submission of the claim. 7. The Seller's Title 7.1 The Seller has good title to, and is the absolute unencumbered legal and beneficial owner of, all property, interests, rights and benefits agreed to be sold 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 overriding interests within the meaning of section 3 (xvi) of the Land Registration Act 1925 or 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). 7.2 All steps necessary to perfect the Seller's title to the Loans and the Related Security were duly taken at the appropriate time or are in the process of being taken, in each case (where relevant) within any applicable priority periods or time limits for registration with all due diligence and without undue delay. 7.3 Save for Title Deeds held at 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: 26 (a) the Seller; or (b) the Seller's solicitors to the order of the Seller, and the Title Deeds 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. 7.4 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. 7.5 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. 8. General 8.1 The Seller has, since the making of each Loan, kept or procured the keeping of full and proper accounts, books and records showing clearly all transactions, payments, receipts, proceedings and notices relating to such Loan. 8.2 Neither the Seller nor 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. 8.3 The Seller has received from each Borrower a variable direct debit instruction in favour of the Seller signed by the relevant Borrower and addressed to its bank, variable as to the amount payable by such Borrower by unilateral notice given from time to time by the Seller to such Borrower's bank without further instruction or consent from such Borrower or such other method of payment as may be acceptable to a reasonable, prudent mortgage lender. 8.4 There are no authorisations, approvals, licences or consents required as appropriate for the Seller to enter into or to perform the obligations under this Agreement or to render this Agreement legal, valid, binding, enforceable and admissible in evidence. 8.5 The Insurance Acknowledgements are valid, binding and enforceable against the relevant insurer by the Mortgages Trustee and the Security Trustee. 27 SCHEDULE 2 REGISTERED TRANSFER In the form of the Land Registry Form TR4 as shown overleaf with such amendments as the Mortgages Trustee may reasonably require to give effect to this Agreement or in such other form as the Mortgages Trustee may reasonably require to take account of changes in law or practice. 28 SCHEDULE 3 UNREGISTERED TRANSFER THIS DEED OF TRANSFER OF MORTGAGES is made the day of 20[ ] BETWEEN: (1) ABBEY NATIONAL PLC whose registered office is at Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AN (hereinafter called the Transferor) of the one part; and (2) HOLMES TRUSTEES LIMITED whose registered office is Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AN (hereinafter called the Transferee) of the other part.

Authorised Signatory 30 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 no minimum term on the Loans. 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. The Mortgage Account must mature no later than the time when the Borrower reaches 85 years of age if the Loan has a related MIG policy. Otherwise 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). The amount available is initially calculated as follows: Single Applicant - 3 times primary income plus 1 times secondary income. Multiple - 3 times primary income of one applicant plus primary income of any other applicant (up to a maximum of 3 other applicants) plus 1 times secondary income of all applicants, or 2.5 times joint primary income (of two applicants) plus 1 times primary income of any other applicant plus 1 times secondary income of all applicants. 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 (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 judgement, 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 32 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. 33 SCHEDULE 5 POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOUR OF FUNDING, THE MORTGAGES TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITY TRUSTEE THIS DEED OF POWER OF ATTORNEY is made on the [o], 2004 by: (1) ABBEY NATIONAL PLC whose registered office is at Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AN (registered number 2294747) (the Seller); in favour of each of: (2) HOLMES FUNDING LIMITED whose registered office is at Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AN (registered number 3982428) (Funding); (3) HOLMES TRUSTEES LIMITED whose registered office is at Abbey National House, 2 Triton Square, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AN (registered number 3982431) (the Mortgages Trustee); and (4) JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, LONDON BRANCH (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, London Branch) whose principal office is at Trinity Tower, 9 Thomas More Street, London E1W 1YT in its capacity as trustee (the Security Trustee, which expression shall include such company and all other persons or companies for the time being acting as the trustee or trustees under the Funding Deed of Charge).
