     (a)  be in writing; and

     (b)  comply with the Mandates.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 2.1 amounts shall only be
     withdrawn from an Account to the extent that such withdrawal does not cause
     the Account to become overdrawn and furthermore credits shall only be made
     to an Account when the LNI Account Bank shall have received cleared funds.

2.2  Notwithstanding any term of the Mandates, the Loan Note Issuer revocably
     instructs the LNI Account Bank to debit from or credit to the relevant
     Accounts to or from the relevant persons and accounts specified therein the
     amounts specified in each Servicer Daily Report, Servicer Monthly Report or
     Servicer Annual Report received by the LNI Account Bank by means of secure

     issued to the Servicer by the LNI Account Bank (or such other secure method
     as agreed by the Loan Note Issuer and the LNI Account Bank in writing from
     time to time) PROVIDED THAT the LNI Account Bank may also act on any report
     received by it by means of secure facsimile transmission that includes the
     signal number authentication code issued to the Servicer. The LNI Account
     Bank agrees to comply with such instructions without any further
     verification unless it receives any instructions in writing from the Loan
     Note Issuer or following the occurrence of a Loan Note Event of Default
     with respect to a Series, the Security Trustee to the contrary one Business
     Day prior to the time by which it is required to fulfil any instruction
     contained in any such instructions.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 2.2 amounts shall only be
     withdrawn from any Account to the extent that such withdrawal does not
     cause such Account to become overdrawn and furthermore credits shall only
     be made to such Account when the LNI Account Bank shall have received
     cleared funds.

2.3  The LNI Account Bank agrees that if directed pursuant to Clause 2.1 or
     Clause 2.2 to make any payment, and provided such direction is given or
     report is received in

     sufficient time to allow the LNI Account Bank to transfer amounts on the
     required date, it will do so prior to close of business on the Business Day
     on which such direction or report is received and for value that day
     provided that if any direction or report is received by the LNI Account
     Bank later than 2.00 p.m. on any Business Day the LNI Account Bank shall
     make such payment as soon as practicable after the commencement of business
     on the following Business Day for value that day.

2.4  The charges of the LNI Account Bank (if any) for the operation of the
     Accounts shall not be debited to the Accounts but shall be payable by the
     Loan Note Issuer within 30 days or less of receipt of a written invoice and
     charged by the LNI Account Bank to the Loan Note Issuer on the same basis
     and at the same rates as are generally applicable to its business customers
     and the LNI Account Bank hereby acknowledges that it will have no recourse
     against any funds standing to the credit of the Accounts or against any
     party hereto other than the Loan Note Issuer in respect of the said
     charges.

          mandates or arrangements relating to the relevant Account.

4.   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE LNI ACCOUNT BANK

     Bank hereby:

          and interest in the Accounts to the Security Trustee by way of
          security with respect to each relevant Series; and

     (b)  subject to execution of each relevant Loan Note Supplement, waives any
          right it has or may hereafter acquire to combine, consolidate or merge
          the Series Loan Note Issuer Distribution Account with any other

          liabilities of the Loan Note Issuer or any other person to the LNI
          Account Bank and agrees that it may not set off, transfer,

          Account Bank shall be entitled to rely on any such direction
          purporting to have been given on behalf of the Security Trustee
          without enquiry; and

     (b)  after the occurrence of a Loan Note Event of Default with respect to a
          Series, that all right, authority and power of the Loan Note Issuer in
          respect of the operation of the Accounts shall be deemed to be
          terminated and of no further effect and the LNI Account Bank and the
          Loan Note Issuer agree that the LNI Account Bank shall, upon receipt
          of such notice (to be given in writing) from the Security Trustee,
          comply with the directions of the Security Trustee or any receiver
          appointed under the relevant Loan Note Supplement in relation to the
          operation of the Accounts.

4.3  Until the LNI Account Bank shall have been notified in writing by the
     Security Trustee that there are no Loan Notes outstanding, the LNI Account
     Bank shall provide the Loan Note Issuer with a monthly statement in respect
     of each of the Accounts or upon request from time to time, and in the
     latter case such statement shall be provided as soon as reasonably
     practicable after receipt of a request for a statement.

     this Agreement.

5.2  The Loan Note Issuer shall indemnify the LNI Account Bank against any loss,
     cost, damage, charge or expense incurred by the LNI Account Bank in
     complying with any direction or instruction of the Loan Note Issuer or the

     proceedings) under the laws of any jurisdiction nor join any person in

     assign or transfer any or all of its rights, title and benefit under this
     Agreement without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee.

14.  COUNTERPARTS

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of copies, and by the
     different parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, each of
     which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken

     connection with this Agreement, and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits
     to the jurisdiction of such courts.

16.3 Each party hereto other than the Security Trustee irrevocably waives any
     objection which it might now or hereafter have to the courts of England
     referred to above being nominated as the forum to hear and determine any
     suit, action or proceeding, and to settle any dispute, which may arise out
     of or in connection with this Agreement and agrees not to claim that any
     such court is not a convenient or appropriate forum.
