WHEREAS:

(A)     The Transferor is the legal owner of the Receivables (which terms and
        certain other capitalised terms used in these recitals bear the meaning
        given to them in Part 1 below).

(B)     From time to time an Investor Beneficiary may decide to make cash

                Issuer, or, as the case may be, any other Investor Beneficiary,
                to any other party hereto are inclusive of any VAT which is
                chargeable on the supply or supplies for which such sums (or any

                for such supply) a sum equal to the amount of such VAT, such
                payment to be made no later than 2 Business Days before the last

                party is to be reimbursed (or indemnified) by any other person
                or the amount of which is to be taken into account in any
                calculation or computation shall, save where the context
                otherwise requires, include:

                        liability; and

                (B)     where such party is the Servicer, a reference to such
                        part of such fee, cost, disbursement, expense or
                        liability as represents VAT save to the extent that such
                        party is entitled to obtain credit or repayment in
                        respect of such VAT from HM Revenue & Customs, and any
                        VAT for which such party is required to account to HM
                        Customs and Excise under Section 8 of the VATA in
                        relation to such fee, cost, disbursement, expense or
                        liability.

                of the Rating Agencies confirms in writing that such method will
                not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of its then current

        proceedings for the winding up, dissolution or re-organisation or for
        the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver,

        (A)     in the case of investment earnings on funds deposited in a Trust
                Account held on the Undivided Bare Trust, be held on the
                Undivided Bare Trust for the benefit of the Undivided Bare Trust
                beneficiaries; and

        (B)     in the case of investment earnings on funds deposited in a Trust
                Account held on a Segregated Bare Trust, Other Trust or the
                Deferred Consideration Bare Trust, be held on that trust for the
                benefit of the relevant beneficiary.

(h)     ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE BENEFICIARIES

        It is a condition of the Receivables Trust (to which, by the execution
        of a Supplement by a Beneficiary, such Beneficiary consents and
        confirms) that the Beneficiaries acknowledge that:

        (i)     it is not intended that the Receivables Trustee should have any
                discretion with respect to the investment of funds as referred
                to in Clause 5.1(e) and (f) or that


                                     - 21 -



                the duties of the Receivables Trustee should include any form of
                fund management;

        (ii)    accordingly the provisions of Clause 5.1(e) and (f) (and all
                related provisions of the Transaction Documents) have been drawn
                so as to specify to the maximum extent practicable the manner in
                which the Servicer is to, from time to time, advise the
                Receivables Trustee (or any Person acting on the Receivables
                Trustee's behalf) to invest the funds referred to in Clause
                5.1(e) and (f);

        (iii)   subject to and in accordance with Clause 5.1(f), the duties of
                the Receivables Trustee with regard to the making of any such
                investments will be fully discharged by the Servicer advising
                the Receivables Trustee (or any Person acting on the Receivables
                Trustee's behalf as aforesaid) in relation thereto and the
                Receivables Trustee acting in accordance with such advice; and

        (iv)    the investment of any funds by the Receivables Trustee acting on
                the advice of the Servicer in accordance with Clause 5.1(e) and
                (f) shall be wholly incidental and ancillary to the functions of
                the Receivables Trustee as described in Clause 2.1.

5.2     COLLECTIONS

(a)     CARD OPERATING ACCOUNT

        (i)     The Receivables Trustee shall direct the Transferor that

                Operating Account for the benefit of the Receivables Trustee
                shall be transferred to the Trustee Collection Account as
                promptly as possible after the Date of Processing of such
                Collections but in no event later than the second London

                such transfer shall be referred to hereafter as the "RELEVANT
                DATE".

        (ii)    Notwithstanding Clause 5.2(a)(i), if the Transferor or any of
                its subsidiaries or Affiliates is the Servicer, the Receivables
                Trustee shall seek to ensure that such monies held on trust in
                the Card Operating Account that are identified as representing
                Collections in respect of Ineligible Receivables, shall not be
                transferred to the Trustee Collection Account but shall be
                distributed to the Transferor Beneficiary or as the Transferor
                Beneficiary may direct whereupon such monies shall cease to be
                Trust Property and shall be owned by the Transferor Beneficiary
                absolutely.

(b)     APPLICATION OF MONIES IN THE TRUSTEE COLLECTION ACCOUNT

        On the Relevant Date the Receivables Trustee shall, based on the

        following the transfer of monies from the Card Operating Account as
        referred to in Clause 5.2(a) on such Relevant Date, (1) identify
        amounts, if any, included in such transfer and (2) identify any other
        amounts in the Trustee Collection


                                     - 22 -

        amounts set out in (vi) and (viii) below on the Transfer Date next
        following such Relevant Date, in accordance with this Clause 5. In
        particular, the Receivables Trustee shall instruct the Operating Bank to
        make the following distributions (except for (vii) below) from the
        Trustee Collection Account, in a manner consistent with the principles
        set out in this Deed as modified by any Supplement:

        (i)     the amount of any Incorrect Payments notified to the Receivables
                Trustee which have not previously been allocated as Collections
                representing Trust Property, to the Card Operating Account,
                whereupon such monies shall cease to be Trust Property and shall
                be owned by the Transferor Beneficiary absolutely;

        (ii)    the amount of Ineligible Collections notified to the Receivables
                Trustee which have not previously been allocated as Principal
                Collections, to the Card Proceeds Account, whereupon such monies
                shall cease to be Trust Property and shall be owned by the
                Transferor Beneficiary absolutely;

        (iii)   the relevant amount of Principal Collections distributable to an
                Investor Beneficiary in respect of any Related Debt and/or
                Series shall be identified for such Related Debt and/or Series
                and either credited to the relevant ledger(s) established in
                respect of such Related Debt and/or Series or otherwise
                distributed, in each case as provided in the related Supplement
                for such Related Debt and/or Series;

        (iv)    subject to Clause 5.2(b)(ix) and subject to the provisions of
                any Supplement which require any amounts to be retained in the
                Principal Collections Ledger (whether on account of Required
                Retained Principal Collections or otherwise), the amount of any
                Principal Collections remaining after the application of the
                amounts referred to in (i) to (iii) above (which shall
                constitute "CASH AVAILABLE FOR INVESTMENT"), to the Trustee
                Investment Account (and a corresponding adjustment shall be made
                to the Principal Collections Ledger in the Trustee Collection
                Account);

        (v)     subject to Clause 5.2(f), an amount equal to the product of (1)
                the Floating Transferor Percentage for the Monthly Period in
                which such Finance Charge


                                     - 23 -



                Collections arise and (2) the aggregate amount of Finance Charge
                Collections relating to the relevant Date of Processing (the
                "TRANSFEROR FINANCE CHARGE AMOUNT") to the Card Proceeds Account
                or as the Transferor Beneficiary may direct (and a corresponding
                adjustment shall be made to the Finance Charge Collections
                Ledger in the Trustee Collection Account) whereupon such monies
                shall cease to be Trust Property and shall be owned by the
                Transferor Beneficiary absolutely;

        (vi)    on each Transfer Date an amount equal to the product of (1) the
                Floating Transferor Percentage for the Monthly Period preceding
                such Transfer Date and (2) the aggregate amount of Acquired
                Interchange deposited by the Transferor in the Trustee
                Collection Account (the "TRANSFEROR ACQUIRED INTERCHANGE
                AMOUNT") to the Card Proceeds Account or as the Transferor
                Beneficiary may direct (and a corresponding adjustment shall be
                made to the Finance Charge Collections Ledger in the Trustee
                Collections Account) whereupon such monies shall cease to be
                Trust Property and shall be owned by the Transferor Beneficiary
                absolutely;

        (vii)   subject to Clause 5.2(f), in respect of an Investor Beneficiary,
                amounts equal to the product of (1) the sum of the Floating
                Investor Percentages in respect of all Outstanding Issuance for
                the relevant Investor Beneficiary for the Monthly Period in
                which such Finance Charge Collections arise and (2) the
                aggregate amount of Finance Charge Collections relating to the
                relevant Date of Processing, (each an "INVESTOR FINANCE CHARGE
                AMOUNT") shall be retained in the Trustee Collection Account in
                accordance with the related Supplement(s) for such Related Debt
                and/or Series (and a corresponding adjustment shall be made to
                the Finance Charge Collections Ledger in the Trustee Collection
                Account) whereupon such monies shall cease to be Undivided Bare
                Trust Property.

        (viii)  On each Transfer Date, in respect of an Investor Beneficiary, an
                amount equal to the product of (1) the sum of the Floating
                Investor Percentages in respect of all Outstanding Issuance for
                the relevant Investor Beneficiary for the Monthly Period
                preceding the Transfer Date and (2) the aggregate amount of
                Acquired Interchange deposited by the Transferor in the Trustee
                Collection Account in respect of the relevant Monthly Period
                (the "INVESTOR ACQUIRED INTERCHANGE AMOUNT") from the Trustee
                Collection Account in accordance with the related Supplement for
                such Related Debt and/or Series (and a corresponding adjustment
                shall be made to the Finance Charge Collections Ledger in the
                Trustee Collection Account) whereupon such monies shall cease to
                be Undivided Bare Trust Property.

        (ix)    if on any day, (A) the sum of the Combined Adjusted Investor
                Interests and the Transferor Interest is zero, and (B) a
                Principal Collection is received ("UNAVAILABLE PRINCIPAL
                COLLECTIONS") such amount shall remain credited to the undivided
                Principal Collections Ledger (held on the Undivided Bare Trust
                for the benefit of the Transferor Beneficiary as Unavailable
                Principal Collections) and Unavailable Principal Collections
                shall be transferred to the


                                     - 24 -



                Transferor Beneficiary on any Business Day when, and only to the
                extent that, the Transferor Interest on such Business Day is
                greater than zero and until such time shall represent
                Unavailable Principal Collections held on the Undivided Bare
                Trust for the benefit of the Transferor Beneficiary as
                Unavailable Principal Collections.

                For the avoidance of doubt, following any identification of
                Principal Collections as Unavailable Principal Collections, such
                Unavailable Principal Collections shall in no circumstances be
                reallocated to any other Beneficiary.

        Amounts remaining in the Trustee Collection Account after the
        application of monies referred to above and in any Supplement shall
        either (1) remain deposited in the Trustee Collection Account until such
        time as they are utilised on succeeding Business Days in accordance with
        this Deed and any Supplement or (2) be invested in Permitted Investments
        in accordance with Clause 5.1(e).

(c)     APPLICATION OF MONIES IN THE TRUSTEE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT AND RECEIVABLES
        TRUSTEE CONSIDERATION ACCOUNT

        On the Relevant Date the Receivables Trustee shall, promptly following
        the transfers of monies from the Trustee Collection Account as referred
        to in Clause 5.2(b), (1) identify such amounts, if any, included in such
        transfer, and (2) identify any other amounts in the Trustee Investment
        Account on such Relevant Date and apply such amounts identified in the
        Trustee Investment Account in accordance with this Clause 5.

        In particular the Receivables Trustee shall instruct the Operating Bank
        to make the following transfers from the Trustee Investment Account and
        the Receivables Trustee Consideration Account which will be made in a
        manner consistent with this Deed as modified by any Supplement:

                FROM THE TRUSTEE INVESTMENT ACCOUNT:

        (i)     for the purpose of accepting, if applicable, any Offer, the
                amount of Acceptance Price required to fund acceptance of such
                Offer (pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of
                the Receivables Securitisation Deed) to the Acceptance Price
                Account whereupon such monies shall cease to be Trust Property
                and shall be owned by the Transferor absolutely;

        (ii)    if the Receivables Trustee has accepted an Offer, the amount of
                Transferor Cash Available for Investment required to meet the
                obligation of the Receivables Trustee to pay the Further Payment
                stipulated in such Offer in accordance with Clause 5.2 of the
                Receivables Securitisation Deed, to the Card Proceeds Account,
                whereupon such monies shall cease to be Trust Property and shall
                be owned by the Transferor absolutely, PROVIDED HOWEVER that the
                Transferor Beneficiary shall be obliged to fund the Receivables
                Trustee in respect of payments to be made to the Transferor on
                any Business Day in excess of the Transferor Cash Available for
                Investment. Accordingly, the Receivables Trustee acknowledges
                (and the Transferor by its execution of this Deed also
                acknowledges) that to the extent the Transferor Cash Available
                for Investment


                                     - 25 -



                is less than the aggregate amount of the payments to the
                Transferor payable out of Transferor Cash Available for
                Investment by the Transferor Beneficiary on any Relevant Date,
                such shortfall shall be met by a reduction, by the amount of
                such shortfall, in the aggregate amount payable to the
                Transferor (as set out in Clause 13.3 of the Receivables
                Securitisation Deed) and an increase in the Transferor Interest
                (or in respect of any amount payable in respect of Ineligible
                Receivables, the Transferor Ineligible Interest) by the amount
                by which the amount payable to the Transferor has been so
                reduced;

        (iii)   the amount of Investor Cash Available for Investment required to
                meet the obligation of the Receivables Trustee to make payments
                in respect of Future Receivables in accordance with Clause 5.1
                of the Receivables Securitisation Deed (and pursuant to the
                terms and subject to the conditions of the Receivables
                Securitisation Deed) to the Card Proceeds Account whereupon such
                monies shall cease to be Trust Property and shall be owned by
                the Transferor absolutely PROVIDED HOWEVER that the Transferor
                Beneficiary shall be obliged to fund the Receivables Trustee in
                respect of payments to be made to the Transferor on any Business
                Day in excess of the Investor Cash Available for Investment. The
                Receivables Trustee acknowledges (and the Transferor by its
                execution of this Deed also acknowledges) that to the extent the
                Investor Cash Available for Investment is less than the
                aggregate amount of the payments to the Transferor payable out
                of Cash Available for Investment by the Beneficiaries on any
                Business Day, such shortfall shall be met by a reduction, by the
                amount of such shortfall, in the aggregate amount payable to the
                Transferor (as set out in Clause 13.3 of the Receivables
                Securitisation Deed) and an increase in the Transferor Interest
                by the amount by which the amount payable to the Transferor has
                been so reduced;

        (iv)    (A)     the amount of Transferor Cash Available for Investment
                        required to be distributed to the Transferor Beneficiary
                        in order to decrease the amount of the Transferor
                        Beneficiary's interest in the Eligible Receivables Pool
                        and/or other Trust Property, to the Card Proceeds
                        Account whereupon such monies shall cease to be Trust
                        Property and shall be owned by the Transferor
                        Beneficiary absolutely;

                (B)     the amount of Investor Cash Available for Investment
                        required to be distributed pursuant to the relevant
                        Supplement to the Transferor Beneficiary in order to
                        decrease the amount of the interest of the Transferor
                        Beneficiary in the Eligible Receivables Pool and/or
                        other Trust Property to the Card Proceeds Account
                        whereupon such monies shall cease to be Trust Property
                        and shall be owned by the Transferor Beneficiary
                        absolutely; and

        (v)     the balance, if any, of amounts held in the Trustee Investment
                Account on any day as representing Cash Available for Investment
                which are not to be otherwise utilised on that day as part of
                the Undivided Bare Trust Property in accordance with the terms
                of the Undivided Bare Trust shall remain credited to the Trustee
                Investment Account to be utilised in accordance with this Clause


                                     - 26 -



                5.2(c) on the next and following Business Days, PROVIDED THAT,
                if on any day (A) the Transferor Interest is zero, and (B) an
                Unavailable Principal Collection is received, such amounts held
                in the Trustee Investment Account shall remain credited to the
                Trustee Investment Account (held on the Undivided Bare Trust for
                the benefit of the Transferor Beneficiary in accordance with
                Clause 3.2(c)) and thereafter only transferred to the Transferor
                Beneficiary on any Business Day when, and only to the extent
                that, the Transferor Interest on such Business Day is greater
                than zero;

                FROM THE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE CONSIDERATION ACCOUNT:

        (vi)    the amount (if any) required to meet the obligation of the
                Receivables Trustee to pay Deferred Consideration "Loss Make-up"
                in accordance with Clause 5.3 of the Receivables Securitisation
                Deed, to the Card Proceeds Account, whereupon such monies shall
                cease to be Trust Property and shall be owned by the Transferor
                absolutely; and

        (vii)   the amount (if any) required to meet the obligation of the
                Receivables Trustee to pay any Deferred Consideration (other
                than Deferred Consideration "Loss Make-up") payable on that
                Business Day by the Receivables Trustee to the Transferor in
                accordance with Clause 5.3 of the Receivables Securitisation
                Deed, to the Card Proceeds Account, whereupon such monies shall
                cease to be Trust Property and shall be owned by the Transferor
                absolutely, PROVIDED THAT the balance to the credit of the
                Receivables Trustee Consideration Account shall never be less
                than zero.

(d)     APPLICATION OF MONIES IN ADDITIONAL TRUST ACCOUNTS

        Amounts deposited in Additional Trust Accounts shall be applied in
        accordance with the provisions of any related Supplement and Clause
        5.1(f).

(e)     ANNUAL FEES

        Notwithstanding any provision of the Receivables Securitisation Deed
        which provides that Receivables representing Annual Fees assigned to the
        Receivables Trustee ("ANNUAL FEE RECEIVABLES") constitute Finance Charge
        Receivables or Principal Receivables for the purpose of calculating the
        consideration payable for Receivables assigned to the Receivables
        Trustee, the Receivables Trustee shall, if so directed by the Transferor
        by prior notice in writing to the Servicer, the Receivables Trustee and
        the Rating Agencies, treat such Annual Fee Receivables (and Collections
        in respect thereof) for the purposes of this Deed and any Supplement in
        such manner as specified in a certificate to the Receivables Trustee,
        PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) any such certificate shall have effect only
        in relation to Receivables which are acquired by the Receivables Trustee
        (whether as Existing Receivables or as Future Receivables) after the
        time when such certificate is issued; and (ii) in the absence of any
        such applicable provision in the Receivables Securitisation Deed and of
        such certificate, such Annual Fee Receivables shall be treated as
        Finance Charge Receivables and Collections in respect thereof shall be
        treated as Finance Charge Collections, PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that
        any direction by the Transferor as to the treatment of Annual Fee
        Receivables pursuant to this Clause 5.2(f)


                                     - 27 -



        shall not be of any effect unless the Transferor certifies in such
        certificate that it has received an Opinion of Counsel that the
        treatment specified for Annual Fees and Collections in respect thereof
        will not have any material adverse effect on the treatment of the
        Receivables Trust and the Beneficiaries for Tax purposes in the United
        Kingdom.

(f)     EARNINGS ON PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

        The Receivables Trustee, on each Transfer Date, shall transfer monies
        credited to Trust Accounts which represent investment earnings accrued
        on Permitted Investments made using monies deposited in such Trust
        Accounts:

        (i)     to which the Transferor Beneficiary is beneficially entitled
                pursuant to Clause 3.2(c)(ii), to the Card Proceeds Account for
                the Transferor Beneficiary absolutely; and

        (ii)    to which the Investor Beneficiaries are beneficially entitled
                pursuant to Clause 3.2(a), to the relevant Investor Beneficiary
                in accordance with the relevant Supplement,

        in each case less any amount deducted to meet costs incurred in making
        and changing investments as provided in Clause 5.1(f)(i).

5.3     ADJUSTMENTS

(a)     RECEIVABLES IN DEFAULTED ACCOUNTS, CREDIT ADJUSTMENTS AND REDUCTIONS IN
        RECEIVABLES

        If at any time prior to the dissolution of the Receivables Trust for any
        reason whatsoever, any Principal Receivable assigned to the Receivables
        Trustee becomes a Receivable in a Defaulted Account during any Monthly
        Period or a Reduction or a Credit Adjustment is required in relation to
        any Principal Receivable, the Outstanding Face Amount of such Principal
        Receivable in a Defaulted Account or the amount of such Credit
        Adjustment or Reduction shall be applied against the Transferor Interest
        and each Investor Interest (in respect of the relevant Investor
        Beneficiary) as follows:

        (i)     in the case of a Receivable in a Defaulted Account (which, for
                the avoidance of doubt, was an Eligible Receivable prior to the
                time such Account became a Defaulted Account), by allocating
                such amount between the Transferor Beneficiary and the relevant
                Investor Beneficiary in respect of the relevant Related Debt
                and/or Series in accordance with, respectively, the Floating
                Transferor Percentage and Floating Investor Percentage for the
                Monthly Period in which such Account became a Defaulted Account
                (as determined in a manner consistent with this Deed as amended
                by any Supplement), reducing the Transferor Interest accordingly
                and treating the resulting Investor Default Amount for the
                relevant Related Debt and/or Series as provided in the related
                Supplement;

        (ii)    in the case of a Credit Adjustment or a Reduction by allocating
                such amount to the Transferor Beneficiary and reducing the
                Transferor Interest accordingly until such time as the
                Transferor Interest shall be zero, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
                the amount of such Credit Adjustment or Reduction is greater
                than the


                                     - 28 -



                amount of the Transferor Interest on such date of determination
                then the Transferor Interest shall be reduced to zero and the
                Receivables Trustee shall seek to enforce its remedy against the
                Transferor under Clause 10.3 of the Receivables Securitisation
                Deed which provides that the Transferor shall make a payment to
                the Receivables Trustee in accordance with Clause 10.4 of the
                Receivables Securitisation Deed PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER that
                any amount of such Credit Adjustment or Reduction in excess of
                the Transferor Interest shall be treated for the relevant
                Related Debt and/or Series as provided in the related
                Supplement; and

        (iii)   in the case of a Receivable in a Defaulted Account which was an
                Ineligible Receivable prior to such time as such Account became
                a Defaulted Account, by reducing the Transferor Ineligible
                Interest by the Outstanding Face Amount of such Receivable in a
                Defaulted Account until such time as the Ineligible Receivables
                Pool reaches zero;

        and the entitlement of the Beneficiaries to Trust Property shall be
        determined accordingly. The Receivables Trustee shall maintain at all
        times accurate records reflecting Receivables in Defaulted Accounts,
        Credit Adjustments or Reductions and the allocation thereof amongst the
        Beneficiaries.

(b)     INCORRECT PAYMENTS

        If from time to time payments of monies are incorrectly deemed to be
        Trust Property and paid into the Trustee Collection Account ("INCORRECT
        PAYMENTS"), such monies may be deemed to be Collections representing
        Trust Property and allocated in a manner consistent with this Deed (as
        amended by any Supplement) unless prior to such allocation the
        Receivables Trustee is notified by the Servicer that such monies are
        Incorrect Payments. Notwithstanding the above, promptly following the
        notification to the Receivables Trustee by the Servicer that such
        payments were incorrectly deemed to be Trust Property and, if
        applicable, have been incorrectly allocated, the Receivables Trustee
        shall:

        (i)     apply Trust Property (deemed or otherwise) in a manner
                consistent with this Deed (as amended by any Supplement) to
                repay such Incorrect Payments; and

        (ii)    amend its books of account to record that (A) the pool of
                Undivided Bare Trust Property has been increased by the amount
                of Principal Receivables, if any, equal to the amount of
                Incorrect Payments incorrectly allocated as Principal
                Collections (and such amount of Incorrect Payments shall be
                treated as having been repaid), (B) the Transferor Interest has
                been increased by the same amount of Principal Receivables, if
                any, which were incorrectly deducted from the pool of Undivided
                Bare Trust Property and (C) following any reduction of an amount
                of Incorrect Payments incorrectly allocated as Finance Charge
                Collections from Finance Charge Collections, such amount of
                Incorrect Payments incorrectly allocated as Finance Charge
                Collections, if any, shall be treated as having been repaid,


                                     - 29 -



        and the recording of the entitlement of the Beneficiaries to Trust
        Property shall be affected accordingly.

(c)     ALLOCATED INELIGIBLE COLLECTIONS

        If from time to time payments of monies into the Trustee Collection
        Account representing Ineligible Collections are incorrectly deemed to be
        Principal Collections in respect of Eligible Receivables such monies may
        be allocated as such in accordance with this Deed (as amended by any
        Supplement) ("ALLOCATED INELIGIBLE COLLECTIONS") unless prior to such
        allocation the Receivables Trustee is notified by the Servicer that such
        monies are Ineligible Collections. Notwithstanding the above, promptly
        following the notification to the Receivables Trustee by the Servicer
        that Allocated Ineligible Collections have been so allocated as
        Principal Collections in respect of Eligible Receivables, the
        Receivables Trustee shall:

        (i)     apply Trust Property in a manner consistent with the principles
                set out in this Deed (as amended by any Supplement) to re-apply
                such Allocated Ineligible Collections correctly; and

        (ii)    amend its books of account to record that (A) the Ineligible
                Receivables Pool has been decreased by the amount of Allocated
                Ineligible Collections previously incorrectly allocated as
                Principal Collections and the Eligible Receivables Pool has been
                increased by the same amount and (B) the Transferor Ineligible
                Interest has been decreased by the same amount so subtracted
                from the Ineligible Receivables Pool and the Transferor Interest
                has been increased by the amount so added to the Eligible
                Receivables Pool,

        and the recording of the entitlement of the Beneficiaries to Trust
        Property shall be affected accordingly.

(d)     INELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES

        If from time to time Ineligible Receivables are assigned to the
        Receivables Trustee as a result of a breach of representation by the
        Transferor pursuant to Clause 16.2 or 16.3 of the Receivables
        Securitisation Deed and payments to the Transferor in respect thereof
        were incorrectly funded by the Beneficiaries on the basis that such
        Receivables were Principal Receivables which are Eligible Receivables,
        notwithstanding the remedies available to the Receivables Trustee
        pursuant to the Receivables Securitisation Deed, in such circumstances
        the Receivables Trustee shall ensure that such error is corrected by:

        (i)     reducing the Transferor Interest by the amount of such
                Ineligible Receivables until such time as it reaches zero
                PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Outstanding Face Amount of such
                Ineligible Receivables exceeds the amount of the Transferor
                Interest on such date of determination then the Receivables
                Trustee shall also require the Transferor to make a payment of
                cash to the Receivables Trustee equal to the amount of such
                excess in order to comply with the provisions of Clause 11.1 of
                the Receivables Securitisation Deed; and

        (ii)    amending its books of account to record that (A) the Eligible
                Receivables Pool has been decreased by the amount of Ineligible
                Receivables previously


                                     - 30 -



                incorrectly added to the Eligible Receivables Pool and, subject
                to Clause 11.3 of the Receivables Securitisation Deed and the
                Ineligible Receivables Pool has been increased by the same
                amount, and (B) the Transferor Ineligible Interest has been
                increased by the same amount so added to the Ineligible
                Receivables Pool;

        and the recording of the entitlement of the Beneficiaries to Trust
        Property shall be affected accordingly.


                                     - 31 -



6.      PAY OUT EVENTS

6.1     TRUST PAY OUT EVENTS

If any one of the following events (a "TRUST PAY OUT EVENT") shall occur:

(a)     the Transferor shall consent or take any corporate action in relation to
        the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver,
        liquidator, trustee or similar officer of it or relating to all or
        substantially all of its revenues and assets;

(b)     proceedings shall be initiated against the Transferor under any

        creditors or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations with a view
        to the general readjustment or rescheduling of its indebtedness;

(d)     the Transferor shall become unable for any reason to transfer

        Receivables Trustee becoming liable to make any material payment on
        account of Tax (including VAT) other than payment of the annual Exempt
        Company fee (currently (pound)600 per annum);

then:

        (1)     in the case of any Trust Pay Out Event an Investor Pay Out Event
                will occur in respect of the relevant Related Debt and/or
                Series,

        (2)     in addition, in the case of a Trust Pay Out Event under

                of Principal Receivables which have been assigned to the
                Receivables Trustee shall continue to form part of the Trust
                Property of the Receivables Trust and Collections with respect
                thereto shall continue to be allocated and applied in accordance
                with Clause 5; and

        (ii)    the Receivables Trustee shall not be entitled to accept any

                will be dissolved.

(b)     Within 15 days of the Appointment Day, the Receivables Trustee shall:

        (i)     cause to be published a notice in an Authorised Newspaper that
                an Insolvency Event has occurred, that the Receivables Trustee
                intends to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate the
                Receivables which constitute Trust Property and that subject to
                completion of such sale, disposal or other liquidation, the

                pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above is first published, the
                Receivables Trustee shall have received written instructions
                from Beneficiaries representing more than 50 per cent. of the
                Investor Interest of every Class of every Series and any other
                person specified as so entitled in any Supplement to the effect
                that such Beneficiaries and persons, if any, disapprove of the
                liquidation of the Receivables which constitute Trust Property
                and any other assets and wish to continue with the Receivables
                Trustee accepting Offers and purchasing Receivables pursuant to
                the terms and subject to the conditions of the Receivables
                Securitisation Deed as before such Insolvency Event, the
                Receivables Trustee shall use its best efforts to sell, dispose
                of or otherwise liquidate the Receivables and other assets,
                which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids and on
                terms that are equivalent to the best purchase offer (as
                determined by the Receivables Trustee). The provisions of Clause
                6.1 and Clause 6.3 shall not be deemed to be mutually exclusive.

(c)     The proceeds from the sale, disposition or liquidation of the
        Receivables and other assets of the Receivables Trust pursuant to
        paragraph (b) above ("INSOLVENCY PROCEEDS") shall be treated as
        Collections in respect of the Receivables and other assets of the
        Receivables Trust and shall be allocated and applied in accordance with
        the provisions of Clause 3


                                     - 33 -



        and Clause 5. Insolvency Proceeds arising from the Undivided Bare Trust
        Property, the Ineligibles Bare Trust Property, the Segregated Bare Trust
        Property, the Deferred Consideration Bare Trust and the Other Trust

        and Principal Receivables in the same proportion such Receivables
        comprised in each of the aforesaid categories of Trust Property bore to
        one another on the immediately preceding Determination Date.

(d)     Unless the Receivables Trustee receives written instructions from
        Beneficiaries and other persons as provided in Clause 6.3(b)(ii), on the
        day following the last Transfer Date following the Monthly Period during
        which the Insolvency Proceeds are distributed to the Beneficiaries, and
        subject to the conditions that (A) the Combined Aggregate Investor
        Interest shall have been reduced to zero as a result of such
        distributions, (B) there are no Finance Charge Collections or other
        Trust Property allocated to any Beneficiaries other than the Transferor
        Beneficiary, and (C) there is no commitment on the part of any
        Beneficiary to make contributions to meet payments in respect of the
        assignment of Receivables to or for the Receivables Trustee, then, the
        Receivables Trustee shall take any and all necessary additional steps to
        ensure that the Receivables Trust is dissolved. To this intent if any
        Trust Property exists following the distribution of the Insolvency
        Proceeds referred to in the previous sentence, the Receivables Trustee
        shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment,
        in each case without recourse to the Receivables Trustee, as shall be
        necessary to vest in the Transferor Beneficiary or, as it may direct,
        all right, title and interest of the Receivables Trustee in such Trust
        Property and the Receivables Trustee shall follow any reasonable
        direction of the Transferor Beneficiary in that regard. The Receivables
        Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified from the proceeds referred
        to above and Trust Property allocated to the Transferor Beneficiary for
        any expenses incurred in connection with the performance by the
        Receivables Trustee of its obligations under this paragraph (d).

(e)     The Receivables Trustee, may appoint a sub-agent or agents and such
        other professional advisers as it deems necessary or prudent to assist
        the Receivables Trustee with its responsibilities pursuant to this
        Clause 6 with respect to competitive bids.

7.      THE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

7.1     DUTIES OF THE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

(a)     The Receivables Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
        duties as are specifically set forth in this Deed to the extent required
        or permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and
        regulations. All of the following provisions of this Clause 7.1 are
        subject and without prejudice to Clause 2.1 and shall be construed
        having regard to Clause 2.1.

(b)     The duties of the Receivables Trustee shall be to operate the Trust
        Accounts and, where it acquires any Receivables, to do so in accordance
        with the provisions of this Deed and any Transaction Document in a
        manner consistent with this Deed. The Receivables Trustee shall take
        those reasonable steps available to it to ensure that any movements of
        monies into and out of the Trust Accounts on any Business Day shall be
        for value on the same day.

(c)     The Receivables Trustee shall, if it has actual knowledge of the same,
        act promptly to exercise its rights under any bank mandate relating to a
        bank account in respect of which it is a beneficiary of a trust declared
        over such account to prevent monies representing Trust Property being
        paid from such bank account to a bank account which is not a Trust
        Account and which was overdrawn at the close of business on the
        preceding London Business Day (unless the Receivables Trustee shall have
        received evidence satisfactory to it that such overdraft has been
        satisfied). The Receivables Trustee shall cease to exercise such rights
        at such time as the relevant bank account ceases to be overdrawn.

(d)     The Receivables Trustee shall maintain (or procure that there are
        maintained), in Jersey, proper books of account and records (including
        all reports (whether under Clause 9.5 or otherwise), certificates and
        other documents provided to it) in respect of its duties as trustee of
        the Receivables Trust and shall maintain (or procure that there are
        maintained), in Jersey, records of all assets held by it and all
        payments made by it in such capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, the
        duties of the Receivables Trustee under this Clause 7.1(d) shall not be
        deemed to be discharged by virtue of the Receivables Trustee appointing
        the Servicer to carry out any similar function pursuant to Clause 9.1.

(e)     The Receivables Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
        statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments
        furnished to the Receivables Trustee which are specifically required to
        be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Deed or any Transaction
        Document, shall cause them to be examined to determine whether they
        substantially conform to the requirements of this Deed or such
        Transaction Document.

(f)     Without prejudice to Clause 7.17(b), the appointment of the Servicer
        pursuant to Clause 9.1(a) and the implementation of advice received from
        the Servicer shall (unless and until terminated) be deemed to constitute
        performance by the Receivables Trustee of its fiduciary obligations
        hereunder or pursuant to any fiduciary duties on trustees implied by law
        in respect of such matters, PROVIDED THAT in order to comply with its
        obligations


                                     - 35 -



        under Clauses 5.1(a)(iv), 5.1(b)(iii), 5.1(c)(iii), 5.1(d)(iii) and
        5.1(f)(iii), the Receivables Trustee shall keep Servicer Monthly Reports
        in Jersey. Without prejudice to the foregoing or to Clause 7.17(a), it
        is expressly agreed and acknowledged that no delegation by the
        Receivables Trustee will absolve or release the Receivables Trustee from
        its liabilities or obligations hereunder in the event that the Servicer
        shall default in the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

(g)     The Receivables Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
        taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
        with the direction of the Investor Beneficiary or Enhancement Provider
        relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
        any remedy available to the Receivables Trustee, or exercising any
        trust, discretion or power conferred upon the Receivables Trustee in
        relation to such Investor Beneficiary or Enhancement Provider, under
        this Deed or any Transaction Document.

(h)     The Receivables Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
        failure by the Servicer referred to in Clause 11.1 unless the
        Receivables Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the
        Servicer or the Investor Beneficiary or Enhancement Provider adversely
        affected thereby.

(i)     The Receivables Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
        funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
        of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
        powers, if it believes that the repayment of such funds or adequate
        indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its
        reasonable satisfaction, and none of the provisions contained in this
        Deed or any Transaction Document shall in any event require the
        Receivables Trustee to perform or procure the performance of, or be
        responsible for the manner of the performance of, any of the obligations
        of the Servicer under this Deed.

(j)     Except for actions expressly authorised herein or in any Supplement, the
        Receivables Trustee shall take no action to impair the interests of the
        Beneficiaries of the Receivables Trust in any Receivable now existing or
        hereafter created or to impair the value of any Receivable now existing
        or hereafter created.

(k)     Other than as expressly contemplated in this Deed or any Transaction
        Document, the Receivables Trustee shall have no power to deal with Trust
        Property or supplement, amend or vary the Receivables Trust.

(l)     If at any time the Receivables Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to
        believe that advice received from the Servicer is incorrect, it shall
        promptly notify the Servicer of such matter Provided, HOWEVER, that if
        the Servicer disagrees that such advice is incorrect the Receivables
        Trustee shall promptly act in accordance with the advice given by the
        Servicer and shall be entitled so to do.

(m)     Where:

        (i)     any Ineligible Receivable has been assigned by the Transferor to
                the Receivables Trustee without there being any breach of
                warranty in respect of


                                     - 36 -



                such Receivable under Clause 16.2 or 16.3 of the Receivables
                Securitisation Deed; and

        (ii)    at the time when any assignment of such Ineligible Receivable
                falls to be made pursuant to this Clause 7.1(m), there are no
                Eligible Receivables in existence on the same Account as such
                Ineligible Receivable,

        the Receivables Trustee shall assign all of its right, title and
        interest in such Ineligible Receivable to the Transferor by no later
        than the third Transfer Date falling after the Monthly Period in which
        such Receivable was identified as an Ineligible Receivable for a nominal
        consideration of (pound)1 per batch of Ineligible Receivables assigned
        by the Receivables Trustee on the same date and shall execute such
        documentation as is required to effect such assignment, PROVIDED THAT
        if, prior to the Ineligible Receivable in question being so assigned,
        the Transferor shall state that it will not accept an assignment of such
        Ineligible Receivable, then the Receivables Trustee, acting on the
        advice of the Servicer, shall cause the relevant Ineligible Receivable
        (together with any other Ineligible Receivables which at the relevant
        time fall within the application of this proviso) to be sold to a third
        party at an arm's length, commercial price subject always to any
        requirements of law applicable in respect of any such sale to a third
        party and shall hold any proceeds of such sale on trust for the
        Transferor Beneficiary absolutely upon the terms of the trust in respect
        of Ineligible Receivables forming part of the Ineligible Receivables
        Pool in accordance with Clause 3.2(c)(iii) of this Deed (so far as
        applicable).

7.2     CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1:

(a)     the Receivables Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting, or
        in refraining from acting in accordance with the Servicer Daily Report,
        the Servicer Monthly Report, the Servicer Annual Report the monthly
        payment instructions and notification to the Receivables Trustee, the
        monthly Investor Beneficiaries statement, any resolution, Officer's
        Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
        statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
        appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
        and to have been signed or presented to it pursuant to this Deed or any
        Transaction Document by the proper party or parties;

(b)     the Receivables Trustee may rely on any Opinion of Counsel addressed to
        it, and any such Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
        authorisation and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
        or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
        Opinion of Counsel;

(c)     the Receivables Trustee shall be entitled to assume, for the purposes of
        exercising any power, trust, authority, duty or discretion under or in
        relation to any Transaction Document that such exercise will not
        adversely affect the interest of the Investor Beneficiaries where each
        Rating Agency has given written confirmation that such Rating Agency
        would not, as a result of the Receivables Trustee exercising any power,
        trust, authority, duty or discretion under or in relation to any
        Transaction Document, reduce or withdraw its then current rating of any
        outstanding Associated Debt, the Receivables Trustee in considering
        whether such exercise will adversely affect the interest of the Investor
        Beneficiaries, shall be entitled to take into account such written
        confirmation


                                     - 37 -



        from each Rating Agency, provided that the Receivables Trustee shall
        continue to be responsible for taking into account all other matters
        which would be relevant to such consideration.;

(d)     the Receivables Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
        the rights or powers vested in it by this Deed or the Receivables
        Securitisation Deed or any agreement relating to any Enhancement, or to
        institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
        hereto, at the request, order or direction of the Investor Beneficiary,
        pursuant to the provisions of this Deed, unless such Investor
        Beneficiary shall have offered to the reasonable satisfaction of the
        Receivables Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
        expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
        nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Receivables Trustee
        of the obligations, upon the occurrence of any Servicer Default (which
        has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
        it by this Deed or the Receivables Securitisation Deed and any agreement
        relating to any Enhancement, and to use the same degree of care and
        skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
        the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

(e)     the Receivables Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
        taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
        authorised or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
        it by this Deed or any Transaction Document;

(f)     the Receivables Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
        into any facts or matters stated (and as such may rely on the same in
        respect of such facts or matters) in any Offer, the Servicer Daily
        Report, the Servicer Monthly Report, the Servicer Annual Report, the
        monthly payment instructions and notification to the Receivables
        Trustee, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
        report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper
        or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Investor
        Beneficiary which could be adversely affected if the Receivables Trustee
        does not perform such acts;

(g)     the Receivables Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
        hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
        through agents or attorneys or a custodian, and the Receivables Trustee
        shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of
        any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed with all due care by it
        hereunder; and

(h)     the Receivables Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or
        periodic examination of any documents or records related to the
        Receivables or the Designated Accounts for the purpose of establishing
        the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Transferor and
        the Servicer with its representations and warranties or for any other
        purpose.

7.3     RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR VALIDITY OR SUFFICIENCY

Except as set forth in Clause 7.12, the Receivables Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Deed or any
Transaction Document or of the beneficial entitlement of the Beneficiaries to
Trust Property (other than the certificate of authentication on the Trust
Certificates) or of any Receivable or related document. The Receivables Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Transferor
Beneficiary of any of its


                                     - 38 -



beneficial entitlement to Trust Property or of the proceeds of any transfer of
its beneficial entitlement, or for the use or application of any funds paid to
the Transferor in respect of the Receivables or deposited in or withdrawn from
any Trust Account by the Servicer.

7.4     RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

(a)     The Receivables Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from
        the Receivables Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to
        each of the Beneficiaries. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
        the Beneficiaries shall be vested jointly with the power to appoint a
        successor trustee and shall promptly appoint such successor trustee as
        detailed in Clause 7.5 by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
        which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Receivables Trustee
        and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall
        have been so appointed and have accepted within 30 days after the giving
        of such notice of resignation, the resigning Receivables Trustee may
        petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
        successor trustee.

(b)     If at any time the Receivables Trustee shall be legally unable to act,
        or shall be adjudged insolvent, or a receiver of the Receivables Trustee
        or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
        charge or control of the Receivables Trustee or of its property or
        affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
        then the Beneficiaries may collectively, but shall not be required to,
        remove the Receivables Trustee and promptly appoint a successor trustee
        by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall
        be delivered to the Receivables Trustee so removed and one copy to the
        successor trustee.

(c)     The Beneficiaries may at any time by unanimous vote resolve to remove
        the Receivables Trustee as trustee of the Receivables Trust and shall do
        so by giving written notice thereof to the Receivables Trustee. Upon
        such notice of removal being given the Beneficiaries shall be vested
        jointly with the power to appoint a successor trustee and shall promptly
        appoint such successor trustee as detailed in Clause 7.5 by written
        instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
        delivered to the Receivables Trustee being removed and one copy to the
        successor trustee.

(d)     Any resignation or removal of the Receivables Trustee and appointment of
        a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Clause 7.4
        shall not become effective until:

        (i)     acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
                in Clause 7.5 hereof and any liability of the Receivables
                Trustee arising hereunder shall survive such appointment of a
                successor trustee; and

        (ii)    confirmation has been received from each Rating Agency that the
                appointment of the successor trustee will not result in such
                Rating Agency reducing or withdrawing its then current rating on
                any outstanding Associated Debt.

7.5     SUCCESSOR RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

(a)     Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Clause 7.4 hereof shall,
        unless the Transferor Beneficiary requires otherwise, be a person
        belonging outside the member states of the European Union for VAT
        purposes and shall execute, acknowledge and


                                     - 39 -



        deliver to the Transferor Beneficiary and to its predecessor Receivables
        Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
        transferring the Trust Property to such successor trustee, and thereupon
        the resignation or removal of the predecessor Receivables Trustee shall
        become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
        deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with the Trust Property
        and all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
        hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Receivables
        Trustee herein. The predecessor Receivables Trustee shall deliver to the
        successor trustee all documents and statements held by it hereunder, and
        the Transferor Beneficiary and the predecessor Receivables Trustee shall
        execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
        reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
        the successor trustee all Trust Property and such rights, powers, duties
        and obligations.

(b)     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
        this Clause 7.5, such successor trustee shall mail notice of such
        succession hereunder to all Beneficiaries.

7.6     APPOINTMENT OF CO-RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE

(a)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Deed, at any time, for the
        purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
        any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the
        Receivables Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all
        instruments to appoint one or more Persons, being a Person resident
        outside the European Union and belonging outside the European Union for
        VAT purposes, to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee
        or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Receivables Trust, and
        to vest in such person or persons, in such capacity and for the benefit
        of the Beneficiaries, such title to the Receivables Trust or any Trust
        Property or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
        this Clause 7.6, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts
        (being in each case all or part of such title, power or other matters as
        are held by the Receivables Trustee itself) as the Receivables Trustee
        may consider necessary or desirable. No notice to Beneficiaries of the
        appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required
        under Clause 7.5 hereof. The Receivables Trustee shall be required to
        obtain the prior written consent of the Beneficiaries before making any
        appointment pursuant to this Clause 7.6(a) and no such appointment shall
        be valid unless such consent has been obtained, PROVIDED HOWEVER that
        any Beneficiary shall be entitled to withhold its consent only if it is
        not established to its reasonable satisfaction that (so far as is
        consistent with the legal requirements referred to in this Clause
        7.6(a)) the relevant co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or
        separate trustees will belong outside the member states of the European
        Union for VAT purposes or (if the foregoing is not consistent with the
        said legal requirements) within the member states of the European Union
        but outside the United Kingdom for the purposes of the VATA.

(b)     Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
        law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
        conditions:

        (i)     all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
                upon the Receivables Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
                and exercised or performed by the Receivables Trustee and such
                separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that
                such separate trustee or co-trustee is not


                                     - 40 -



                authorised to act separately without the Receivables Trustee
                joining in such act), except to the extent that under any laws
                of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to
                be performed (whether as Receivables Trustee hereunder or as
                successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Receivables Trustee
                shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
                in which events such rights, powers, duties and obligations
                (including the holding of title to the Receivables Trust or any
                Trust Property or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
                shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
                or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Receivables
                Trustee;

        (ii)    no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
                act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

        (iii)   the Receivables Trustee may at any time accept the resignation
                of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Receivables Trustee
        shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees
        and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every
        instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to
        this Deed and the conditions of this Clause 7.6. Each separate trustee
        and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
        vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
        appointment, either jointly with the Receivables Trustee or separately,
        as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Deed,
        specifically including every provision of this Deed relating to the
        conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
        Receivables Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
        Receivables Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

(d)     Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
        Receivables Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
        authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act
        under or in respect to this Deed or any Transaction Document on its
        behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
        become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
        properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised
        by the Receivables Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
        appointment of a new or successor trustee.

7.7     TAX RETURNS

In the event that the Receivables Trustee shall be required to file tax returns
in respect of the Receivables Trust, the Receivables Trustee, as soon as
practicable after it is made aware of such requirement, shall prepare or cause
to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Receivables Trust
and, to the extent possible, shall file such returns at least five days before
such returns are due to be filed. The Receivables Trustee is hereby authorised
to sign any such return on behalf of the Receivables Trust. The Receivables
Trustee will instruct the Servicer to prepare or cause to be prepared all tax
information required by law to be delivered to Beneficiaries and to deliver such
information to the Receivables Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the

proceeding instituted by the Receivables Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee. Any recovery of a judgment shall, after provision for the

the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Deed or
any Transaction Document or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this

Beneficiary.

        authorities, duties and discretions vested in it under this Deed or
        other Transaction Documents, except where expressly provided otherwise,
        have regard to the interests of the Investor Beneficiaries, the
        Transferor Beneficiary and the Enhancement Providers.

(b)     Where an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Receivables Trustee to
        the effect that there is a conflict between the interests of certain
        Beneficiaries and the interests of any of the other Beneficiaries, the
        Receivables Trustee shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        contained in this Deed or other Transaction Documents, have regard first
        to the interests of the Investor Beneficiaries, then to the Transferor
        Beneficiary and then to the interests of the Enhancement Providers and,
        subject to any other claims it may otherwise have against the
        Receivables Trustee including, without limitation, pursuant to Clauses
        7.12 and 7.13, neither the Transferor Beneficiary nor any Enhancement
        Provider shall have a claim against the Receivables Trustee for so
        doing.

(c)     Notwithstanding (a) and (b) above, where the Receivables Trustee is
        required under this Deed or other Transaction Documents to have regard
        to the interests of the Investor Beneficiaries in respect of any
        relevant Related Debt or Series (whether or not the Related Debt or
        Series in question relates to a single Investor Beneficiary or whether
        two

        or more issuances of Related Debt or Series relate to different Investor
        Beneficiaries) and where an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the
        Receivables Trustee to the effect that there is a conflict between the
        interests of such Investor Beneficiaries in respect of such Related Debt
        or Series, the Receivables Trustee shall be entitled to act in
        accordance with directions received from such Investor Beneficiaries
        pursuant to Clause 7.11 and no Investor Beneficiaries shall have any
        claim against the Receivables Trustee for so doing.

Aggregate Investor Interest (or, with respect to any remedy, trust or power that
does not affect all Investor Beneficiaries, 50% or more of the Investor
Interests securing the affected Related Debt and/or Series (or Classes comprised
therein if applicable) to which such remedy, trust or power relates) shall have

Series.

                under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, to
                commence enforcement proceedings with respect to delinquent
                Receivables;

        (viii)  to make any filing, reports, notices, applications,
                registrations with, and to seek any consents or authorisations
                from any relevant securities or other authority as may be
                necessary or advisable to comply with any securities or
                reporting requirements (whether in relation to the Beneficiaries
                or the Receivables Trust) and

        (ix)    to assign Defaulted Receivables on behalf of the Receivables
                Trustee to the Transferor upon any exercise of the option
                pursuant to Clause 18 of the Receivables Securitisation Deed.

        The Receivables Trustee agrees that it shall promptly follow the advice
        of the Servicer to withdraw funds from any Trust Account and to take any
        action required under any Enhancement at such time as required under
        this Deed and any Supplement. The Receivables Trustee shall execute at
        the Servicer's written request such documents prepared by the Transferor
        and acceptable to the Receivables Trustee as may be reasonably necessary
        or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing duties
        hereunder.

(d)     Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 6.1(d), in the event that
        the Transferor is unable for any reason duly to assign Receivables
        arising on Designated Accounts to the Receivables Trustee in accordance
        with the provisions of the Receivables Securitisation Deed then, in any
        such event:

        (i)     the Servicer shall advise the Receivables Trustee to apply,
                after the date of the purported assignment, all Principal
                Collections in respect of Receivables and all amounts which
                would have constituted Principal Collections which would have
                been assigned to the Receivables Trustee but for the
                Transferor's inability duly to assign such Receivables, in
                accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents as
                though such amounts are Principal Collections;

        (ii)    the Servicer shall advise the Receivables Trustee to apply such
                amounts as Principal Collections on Receivables assigned to the
                Receivables Trustee in accordance with Clause 5; and

        (iii)   for only so long as all Principal Collections and all amounts
                which would have constituted Principal Collections are applied
                in accordance with paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, Principal
                Collections and all amounts which would have constituted
                Principal Collections but for the Transferor's inability duly to
                assign Receivables to the Receivables Trustee that are
                charged-off in accordance with this Deed and the Lending
                Guidelines, shall continue to be applied in accordance with
                Clause 5 and all Principal Receivables which would have been
                assigned to the Receivables Trustee but for the Transferor's
                inability duly to assign Receivables to the Receivables Trustee
                shall be deemed to be Principal


                                     - 50 -



                Receivables for the purpose of calculating the applicable
                Investor Percentage thereunder.

        If the Receivables Trustee is unable pursuant to any Requirement of Law
        to apply payments on the Designated Accounts as described above in
        accordance with the advice of the Servicer, the Servicer shall, if such
        Requirement of Law thereafter ceases to prevent such allocation, advise
        the Receivables Trustee to allocate payments on each Designated Account
        with respect to the principal balance of such Designated Account first
        to the oldest principal balance of such Designated Account and to apply
        such payments as Collections in accordance with Clause 5.

        The parties hereto agree that Finance Charge Receivables (whenever
        created) accrued in respect of Principal Receivables which have been
        conveyed to the Receivables Trustee as trustee of the Receivables Trust,
        or which would have been conveyed to the Receivables Trustee as trustee
        of the Receivables Trust but for the above described inability duly to
        assign such Receivables, shall continue to be a part of the Trust
        Property notwithstanding any cessation (as a result of such inability)
        of the assignment of additional Principal Receivables to the Receivables
        Trustee and Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be
        allocated and paid in accordance with Clause 5.

(e)     The Servicer shall not be obliged to use separate servicing procedures,
        processing systems, offices, employees or accounts for servicing the
        Receivables from the procedures, offices, employees and accounts used by
        the Servicer in connection with servicing other credit card receivables.

(f)     The Servicer shall maintain insurance coverage against losses through
        wrongdoing of its directors, officers and employees who are involved in
        the servicing of credit card receivables covering such actions and in
        such amounts as the Servicer believes to be reasonable from time to
        time.

(g)     The Servicer shall, so far as it is reasonably practicable, carry out
        its obligations and duties as Servicer in the United Kingdom.

9.2     SERVICING COMPENSATION

(a)     As full compensation for its servicing duties and activities as provided
        for in Clause 9.1 and as reimbursement for any expense incurred by it in
        connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the
        Receivables Trustee (solely to the extent of payments received from the
        Beneficiaries and utilising Trust Property allocated with respect
        thereto as provided in this Deed and in any Supplement) a Servicing fee
        (the "SERVICING FEE") with respect to each Monthly Period, payable
        monthly on the related Transfer Date, in an amount equal to one-twelfth
        of the product of:

        (i)     the weighted average of the Servicing Fee Percentages specified
                in each Supplement in respect of an Outstanding Issuance, in
                each case weighted by the proportion that the Investor Interest
                of the relevant Series or issuance of Related Debt bears to the
                Combined Aggregate Investor Interest as of the last day of the
                relevant Monthly Period (or, if HSBC Bank plc is Servicer, such
                other percentage as shall be agreed by the Servicer and the
                Receivables Trustee (with the prior written consent of each of
                the Beneficiaries) PROVIDED THAT (a) each


                                     - 51 -



                Rating Agency has confirmed in writing that such proposed
                percentage will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of its
                then current rating of any outstanding Associated Debt and (b)
                the Beneficiaries have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such
                proposed agreement to alter the percentage will not prejudice
                the Tax treatment of the Receivables Trust or the
                Beneficiaries); and

        (ii)    the average daily aggregate Outstanding Face Amount of Principal
                Receivables comprised in the Trust Property during such Monthly
                Period.

(b)     The portion of the Servicing Fee payable by the Receivables Trustee to
        the Servicer, with respect to each Monthly Period, in respect of which
        the Receivables Trustee is to be reimbursed from payments made by the
        Investor Beneficiaries in respect of a particular Series or issuance of
        Related Debt (the "INVESTOR SERVICING FEE AMOUNT" with respect to such
        Series or issuance of Related Debt) will be determined in accordance
        with the relevant Supplement. The relevant Investor Beneficiaries will
        pay the Investor Servicing Fee Amount to the Receivables Trustee, in
        respect of such Series or issuance of Related Debt, as part of the
        consideration for the grant of the relevant Investor Interest.

(c)     The portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to any Monthly Period in
        respect of which the Receivables Trustee is not to be reimbursed from
        payments made by the relevant Investor Beneficiaries in respect of each
        Series or issuance of Related Debt pursuant to the related Supplements
        (the "TRANSFEROR SERVICING FEE AMOUNT") shall be paid to the Receivables
        Trustee by the Transferor Beneficiary from the Transferor Finance Charge
        Amount and Transferor Acquired Interchange Amount or other Trust
        Property allocable to the Transferor Beneficiary on the related Transfer
        Date. In no event shall the Receivables Trust, the Receivables Trustee,
        any Enhancement Provider or the Investor Beneficiaries in respect of any
        Series or issuance of Related Debt be liable to the Servicer for the
        share of the Servicing Fee with respect to any Monthly Period in respect
        of which the Receivables Trustee is to be reimbursed from payments to be
        made by the Transferor Beneficiary from Trust Property allocated to the
        Transferor Beneficiary Provided, HOWEVER, that the amount of Transferor
        Servicing Fee Amount in respect of which the Receivables Trustee is to
        be reimbursed by the Transferor Beneficiary pursuant to this paragraph
        (c) in any Monthly Period shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
        Transferor Finance Charge Amount and Transferor Acquired Interchange
        Amount or such other Trust Property for such Monthly Period. The
        Transferor Beneficiary will pay the Transferor Servicing Fee Amount to
        the Receivables Trustee as part of the consideration for the grant of
        the Transferor Interest.

(d)     It is a condition of the Receivables Trust (which by the execution of a
        Supplement by a Beneficiary, such Beneficiary consents and confirms)
        that each Beneficiary of the Receivables Trust undertakes to the
        Receivables Trustee for the benefit of itself and as trustee for each
        other Beneficiary that it will reimburse the Receivables Trustee for the
        share of the Servicing Fee payable by the Receivables Trustee to the
        Servicer pursuant to Clause 9.2(a) and (b) which is to be met by the
        Receivables Trustee from payments to be made by such Beneficiary to the
        Receivables Trustee as distributed and specified in such Supplement.

                the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may
                have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
                including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate

unless otherwise required by the Regulation AB Assessment Rules, an Officer's
Certificate of the Servicer in the form of Schedule 5 (with appropriate
insertions) to the effect that

        (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer during such fiscal year
        and of its performance under this Agreement was made under the
        supervision of the officer signing such certificate and

        (b) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
        Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement in all
        material respects throughout such fiscal year or, if there has been a
        failure to fulfil any such obligation in any material respect,
        specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and
        status thereof; or

If required by the Regulation AB Assessment Rules, the Servicer shall instead
provide the statement of compliance required under Item 1123 of Regulation AB
with respect to such fiscal year, which statement will be in the form of an

        setting forth the balance of Receivables in such Account. The Servicer
        shall identify Accounts in the Designated Account File with the

        specific number, PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the Receivables Trustee may not
        request such list or information more than once during any calendar year
        unless an Insolvency Event or Notification Event has occurred and is
        subsisting, in which case such request may be made at any time with
        reasonable frequency. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
        acknowledge that any such list of Designated Account shall not be
        conclusively determinative of what property has been assigned to the
        Receivables Trustee pursuant to any Offer that may have been accepted.

9.8     REDESIGNATED ACCOUNT RECORDS

The Servicer shall be obliged to maintain records identifying each Redesignated
Account as an Account in respect of which the Receivables have been assigned,

        Outstanding Face Amount of each Principal Receivable and the outstanding
        balance of each Finance Charge Receivable) have been received by the
        Receivables Trustee in respect of the Receivables which have been
        assigned to the Receivables Trustee in respect of that Account other
        than Receivables which have been charged-off as uncollectible in
        accordance with the Lending Guidelines on the Designated Account File;
        or

(b)     such time as all Receivables outstanding on such Account which
        constitute Trust Property have been reassigned to the Transferor in the
        circumstances set out in Clause 11.3 of the Receivables Securitisation
        Deed and in the Call Option Agreement.

9.9     REMOVAL OF DESIGNATION

At such time as the Servicer ceases to be obliged to maintain records in respect
of any Redesignated Account in the circumstances set out in Clause 9.8, the
Servicer may at any time thereafter, and in its absolute discretion, remove the
designation "001" in the Designated Account File from such Account with effect
from such date as the Servicer shall specify in that notice and such Account
shall thereafter constitute a "REMOVED ACCOUNT" and shall no longer be
designated "001" in the Designated Account File PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
respect of a Zero Balance Account, the Servicer shall have removed such
designation on the Redesignation Date and such Zero Balance Account shall
thereafter also constitute a Removed Account. In addition, where the Transferor
requests, pursuant to Clause 7.6 of the Receivables Securitisation Deed, that
any Designated Account or Redesignated Account be designated by the Servicer to
become a Removed Account, the Servicer shall thereafter remove the designation
"001" in the Designated Account File from such Account with effect from the date
notified to the Servicer by the Transferor and such Account shall thereafter
constitute a "REMOVED ACCOUNT" and shall no longer be designated "001" in the
Designated Account File.

        disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder or under any
        Supplement.

(c)     The Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
        facie properly executed and submitted by any person respecting any

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not:

        (i)     indemnify the Receivables Trustee if such acts, omissions or
                alleged acts or omissions constitute or are caused by fraud, bad
                faith, negligence, or wilful misconduct by the Receivables
                Trustee or its agents;

        (ii)    indemnify the Receivables Trust or the Investor Beneficiary for

                Beneficiaries arising under any Tax law (or any interest or
                penalties with respect thereto or arising from a failure to
                comply therewith) required to be paid by the Receivables Trust,
                the Receivables Trustee or the Investor Beneficiaries in

        Servicer, the Servicer agrees to deliver (to the extent permitted by
        applicable law and subject always to Clause 10.9) a computer file
        (maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Clause 9.7) containing a true
        and complete list of all Designated Accounts each identified by a
        specific number identifying such Designated Account PROVIDED HOWEVER,
        that the Receivables Trustee may not request such list or information
        more than once during any calendar year unless an Insolvency Event has
        occurred and is subsisting, in which case such request may be made at
        any time with reasonable frequency.

(d)     To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Transferor shall
        co-operate fully with the Servicer in connection with, and provide all

                                     - 63 -



(e)     Nothing in this Clause 10.7 shall derogate from the obligation of the
        Transferor Beneficiary, the Beneficiaries or the Servicer to observe any
        Requirement of Law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
        Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided
        in this Clause 10.7 as a result of such obligations shall not constitute
        a breach of this Clause 10.7.

10.8    EXAMINATION OF RECORDS

(a)     The Servicer shall identify in its systems (where possible) those
        Receivables created in connection with the Designated Accounts which
        have been assigned to or are held on trust for the Receivables Trustee.

(b)     The Servicer shall, prior to the sale or transfer to a third party of
        any receivable held in its custody, examine its computer or other
        records (including the Designated Account File) to determine that such
        receivable is not a Receivable assigned, or purported to be assigned to
        or held on trust for the Receivables Trustee.

(c)     The Servicer shall not sell or transfer to third parties any Receivable
        assigned or purported to be assigned to the Receivables Trustee except
        in accordance with Clause 8 of this Deed.

10.9    DATA PROTECTION

(a)     Terms defined in the Data Protection Act 1998 (the "DPA") shall have the
        same meanings when used in this Clause 10.9.

(b)     Except to the extent that they have complied in all material respects
        with applicable law (including, without limitation, the DPA) permitting
        them to do so:

        (i)     the Receivables Trustee and the Investor Beneficiaries shall not
                have actual access to, or a right to require access to, either
                directly or indirectly, any personal data processed by the
                Servicer (or any Successor Servicer); and

        (ii)    the Receivables Trustee and the Investor Beneficiaries shall not
                instruct the Servicer (or any Successor Servicer) to process
                personal data on their behalf and shall not determine the
                purposes and manner of processing of personal data in connection
                with Designated Accounts and Receivables, other than as
                permitted by this Deed or any Supplement.

(b)     failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any

        Effect on the interests of the Investor Beneficiaries of any Outstanding
        Issuance and which failure, if capable of remedy, continues unremedied
        for a period of 60 days (except in relation to a failure of the Servicer
        to give advice or notice to the Receivables Trustee pursuant to an
        agreed schedule of collections and allocations or to advise the
        Receivables Trustee to make any required drawing, withdrawal or payment

(c)     delegation by the Servicer of its duties under this Deed to any other
        entity, except as permitted by Clause 10.6;

(d)     any relevant representation, warranty or certification made by the
        Servicer in this Deed or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto
        proves to have been incorrect when made, which has a Material Adverse
        Effect on the interests of the Investor Beneficiaries in respect of any
        Outstanding Issuance and continues to be incorrect in any material
        respect for a period of 60 days or more after the date on which written
        notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
        been given to the Servicer by the Receivables Trustee or to the Servicer
        and the Receivables Trustee by the Investor Beneficiary or Investor
        Beneficiaries holding 50 per cent. or more of the Aggregate Investor
        Interest in respect of any Outstanding Issuance adversely affected
        thereby and continues to have a Material Adverse Effect on the interests
        of the Investor Beneficiary in respect of any Outstanding Issuance
        affected for such period;

(e)     the Servicer shall consent to or take any corporate action relating to
        the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver,
        liquidator, trustee or similar officer of it or relating to all or
        substantially all of its revenues and assets or proceedings are
        initiated against the Transferor under any applicable liquidation,
        insolvency, composition, re-organisation or similar laws for its
        winding-up, dissolution, administration or re-organisation (except for a
        solvent re-organisation) and such proceedings are not


                                     - 65 -



        discharged within 60 days or a receiver, administrator, administrative
        receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar officer of it or relating to
        all or substantially all of its revenues and assets is legally and
        validly appointed and such appointment is not discharged within 14 days;
        or

(f)     a director of the Servicer shall admit in writing that the Servicer is
        unable to pay its debts as they fall due within the meaning of Section
        123(1) of the Insolvency Act 1986 or the Servicer makes a general
        assignment for the benefit of or a composition with its creditors or
        voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations with a view to the
        general readjustment or rescheduling of its indebtedness,

(g)     if the Regulation AB Assessment Rules apply, any default set out in
        clause 9.4(c)(v).

then so long as such Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the
Receivables Trustee, if directed by the Investor Beneficiaries, or Investor
Beneficiaries representing in aggregate more than 66 2/3% of the Combined
Aggregate Investor Interest, in each case by notice then given in writing to the
Servicer (a "SERVICER TERMINATION NOTICE"), may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Deed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to
in paragraph (a) above for a period of 10 London Business Days or under
paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) for a period of 60 London Business Days (in addition
to any period provided in (a) to (d) above) shall not constitute a Servicer
Default if such delay or failure could not have been prevented by the exercise
of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure was caused by
an act of God, acts of declared or undeclared war, public disorder, rebellion,
riot or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquakes, nuclear disasters or meltdowns, floods, power cuts or similar
causes. The preceding sentence shall not relieve the Servicer from using
reasonable efforts to perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance
with the terms of this Deed and any Transaction Document and the Servicer shall
provide the Receivables Trustee with an Officer's Certificate (copied to any
Enhancement Provider, the Transferor and the Investor Beneficiary) giving prompt
notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of the cause
of such failure or delay and its efforts so to perform its obligations.

        manner) in order to secure the performance of the Servicer in so doing
        to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as its attorney, all
        documents, records and other instruments upon the failure of the
        Servicer to execute or deliver such documents, records or instruments,
        and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
        appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of such Servicer's
        rights and obligations;

(b)     The Servicer agrees to use all reasonable efforts and co-operate with
        the Receivables Trustee and such Successor Servicer in effecting the
        termination of the responsibilities


                                     - 66 -



        and rights of the Servicer to conduct Servicing hereunder including,
        without limitation, the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all
        authority of the Servicer to carry out Servicing functions in relation
        to the Receivables as provided for under this Deed.

(c)     The Servicer shall promptly transfer its electronic records or

        all other records, correspondence and documents necessary for the

        reasonably request.

(d)     To the extent that compliance with this Clause 11.2 shall require the
        Servicer to disclose to the Successor Servicer information of any kind
        which the Servicer reasonably deems to be confidential, the Successor
        Servicer shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and
        confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall reasonably deem
        necessary to protect its interests and the Servicer shall not be obliged
        to disclose any such confidential information until such licensing and
        confidentiality agreements have been entered into.

(e)     The Servicer shall, on the date of any transfer of its Servicing
        functions under this Deed, transfer all of its rights and obligations
        under any Enhancement with respect to any Beneficiaries to the Successor

        possession of the Servicer (or coming into the possession of the
        Servicer at any time thereafter) shall be held on trust by the Servicer
        for and to the order of the Receivables Trustee.

11.3    RECEIVABLES TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

        Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Receivables
        Trustee in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer
        Termination Notice, or otherwise specified by the Receivables Trustee,

        Trustee. The Receivables Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of such
        removal of the Servicer.

(b)     The Receivables Trustee shall, within 30 days of giving of a Servicer
        Termination Notice or the receipt of the Servicer's resignation pursuant
        to Clause 10.4, appoint, on terms substantially the same as this Deed, a
        successor Servicer (the "SUCCESSOR SERVICER") which shall at the time of
        its appointment as Successor Servicer be an Eligible Servicer, and such
        Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption.
        The Receivables Trustee shall inform each Rating Agency of the

(c)     Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in
        all respects to the Servicer with respect to Servicing functions under
        this Deed and each Supplement and shall be subject to all the

                                     - 67 -



        the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in
        this Deed and each Supplement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer
        to the Successor Servicer. Any Successor Servicer, by its acceptance of

        provisions of each agreement relating to Enhancement.

(d)     In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Receivables
        Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation, or may make such
        arrangements for the compensation of the Successor Servicer out of
        Collections, as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree Provided,
        HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing
        Fee permitted to the Servicer pursuant to Clause 9.2 without the prior
        written consent of each Beneficiary and confirmation from the Rating
        Agencies that such excess fee will not lead to a reduction or
        downgrading of the rating of any outstanding Related Debt or Associated
        Debt.

(e)     All authority and power granted to the Successor Servicer under this
        Deed and each Supplement shall automatically cease and terminate upon
        dissolution of the Receivables Trust pursuant to Clause 6.3 or Clause
        8.1 and shall pass to and be vested in HSBC Bank plc and, without
        limitation, HSBC Bank plc is hereby appointed, authorised and empowered
        to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Successor Servicer, as its
        attorney, in order to secure the performance of the Successor Servicer
        of the matters, referred to in the next paragraph, all documents and

        rights in relation to the Servicer.

(f)     The Successor Servicer agrees to co-operate with HSBC Bank plc in
        effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the

        functions in relation to the Receivables constituting Trust Property.

        electronic form as HSBC Bank plc may reasonably request and shall
        transfer all other records, correspondence and documents to HSBC Bank
        plc in the manner and at such times as HSBC Bank plc shall reasonably
        request. To the extent that compliance with this Clause 11.3 shall
        require the Successor Servicer to disclose to HSBC Bank plc information
        of any kind which the Successor Servicer deems to be confidential, HSBC
        Bank plc shall be required to enter into such customary licensing and
        confidentiality agreements as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably
        deem necessary to protect its interest.

11.4    NOTIFICATION OF SERVICER DEFAULT

Within two Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer
Default, the Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Receivables Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Beneficiaries and each Rating
Agency. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to
this Clause 11 the Receivables Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the Investor Beneficiary and each Rating Agency at their respective addresses
appearing in the Trust Register.

11.5    WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

The Beneficiaries representing in aggregate not less than 66 per cent. of the
Aggregate Investor Interest of each Outstanding Issuance adversely affected by
any default by the Servicer or the


                                     - 68 -



Transferor may, with the prior written consent of all the other Beneficiaries,
instruct the Receivables Trustee to waive in writing any default by the Servicer
or the Transferor in the performance of its obligations hereunder or in any
Transaction Document and its consequences, except a default which results
directly in a failure by the Receivables Trustee to make any required deposits
or distributions of Finance Charge Collections or Principal Collections relating
to the relevant issuance of Related Debt and/or Series adversely affected
pursuant to Clause 5 and any Supplement. Upon any such waiver of a past default,
such default shall be deemed not to have occurred. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the extent expressly so waived. Each Rating Agency shall be informed upon any
such waiver.


                                     - 69 -
