INTEREST 7.1 LOAN TRANCHE INTEREST PERIODS (a) The first Loan Tranche Interest Period in respect of a Loan Tranche will commence on (and include) the Loan Tranche Interest Commencement Date relating to that Loan Tranche and end on (but exclude) the first Funding 2 Interest Payment Date falling thereafter. Each subsequent Loan Tranche Interest Period shall commence on (and include) a Funding 2 Interest Payment Date and end on (but exclude) the next following Funding 2 Interest Payment Date. (b) Whenever it is necessary to compute an amount of interest in respect of a Loan Tranche for any period (including any Loan Tranche Interest Period), such interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365 day year. 7.2 DETERMINATION OF LOAN TRANCHE INTEREST AMOUNT In relation to any Loan Tranche, the rate of interest payable (the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest) and the relevant Sterling interest amount (each a Loan Tranche Interest Amount) in respect of such Loan Tranche shall be determined on the basis of the provisions set out below: (a) On the Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date in relation to such Loan Tranche, the Agent Bank will determine the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of such Loan Tranche at or about 11.00 am London time. If the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the Agent Bank will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide the Agent Bank with its offered quotation to leading banks for three-month Sterling deposits of (pound)10,000,000 in the London inter-bank market as at or about 11.00 a.m. London time on such Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date. (b) The Loan Tranche Rate of Interest for such Loan Tranche for the Loan Tranche Interest Period relating to such Loan Tranche shall be the aggregate of: (i) the Relevant Margin in respect of such Loan Tranche; and (ii) the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of such Loan Tranche or, if the Relevant Screen Rate is unavailable, the arithmetic mean (or, in the case of the initial Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date for such Loan Tranche, the linear interpolation of the arithmetic mean) of such offered quotations by the Reference Banks (rounded upwards, if necessary, to five decimal places). (c) If on any Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date in relation to such Loan Tranche, the Relevant Screen Rate in respect of such Loan Tranche is unavailable and only two or three of the Reference Banks provide offered quotations, the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest for such Loan Tranche for the relevant Loan Tranche Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above on the basis of the offered quotations of those Reference Banks providing such quotations. (d) If, on any such Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides the Agent Bank with such an offered quotation, the Agent Bank 6 shall forthwith consult with the Funding 2 Security Trustee for the purposes of agreeing two banks (or, where one only of the Reference Banks provided such a quotation, one additional bank) to provide such a quotation or quotations to the Agent Bank (which bank or banks are in the opinion of the Funding 2 Security Trustee suitable for such purpose) and the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest for such Loan Tranche for the Loan Tranche Interest Period in question shall be determined, as aforesaid, on the basis of the offered quotations of such banks as so agreed (or, as the case may be, the offered quotations of such bank as so agreed and the relevant Reference Bank). (e) If no such bank or banks is or are so agreed or such bank or banks as so agreed does or do not provide such a quotation or quotations, then the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest for such Loan Tranche for the relevant Loan Tranche Interest Periods shall be the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest in relation to such Loan Tranche in effect for the immediately preceding Loan Tranche Interest Period to which subparagraph (a) above shall have applied but taking account of any change in the Relevant Margin in relation to such Loan Tranche. (f) There will be no minimum or maximum Loan Tranche Rate of Interest for such Loan Tranche. (g) The Agent Bank shall as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each Loan Tranche Interest Determination Date, determine and notify the Master Issuer, Funding 2, the Cash Manager and the Funding 2 Security Trustee of: (i) the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest applicable to such Loan Tranche for the relevant Loan Tranche Interest Period and (ii) the Loan Tranche Interest Amount payable in respect of such Loan Tranche for the relevant Loan Tranche Interest Period. (h) The Loan Tranche Interest Amount for such Loan Tranche shall be determined by applying the relevant Loan Tranche Rate of Interest to the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Loan Tranche, multiplying the sum by the day count fraction described in Clause 7.1 and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest penny (half a penny being rounded upwards). (i) If the Agent Bank does not at any time for any reason determine the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest and the Loan Tranche Interest Amount for any Loan Tranche in accordance with paragraphs 7.2(a) to (g) above, the Funding 2 Security Trustee shall (subject to it being indemnified to its satisfaction) determine the Loan Tranche Rate of Interest and Loan Tranche Interest Amount for each Loan Tranche and any such determination shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent Bank. (j) All notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of this Clause 7, whether by the Agent Bank or the Funding 2 Security Trustee, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on Funding 2, the Master Issuer, the Cash Manager, the Agent Bank, the Funding 2 Security Trustee and (in such absence as aforesaid) no liability to Funding 2 shall attach to the Master Issuer, the Agent Bank, the Funding 2 Security Trustee or the Cash Manager in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by them or any of them of their powers, duties and discretions hereunder. 7.3 PAYMENT ON FUNDING 2 INTEREST PAYMENT DATES Subject to Clause 5.1, Funding 2 shall pay interest in respect of each Loan Tranche on the Funding 2 Interest Payment Dates specified in the applicable Loan Tranche Supplement. 7 7.4 DEFERRED INTEREST Subject to Clause 5.2, to the extent that there are insufficient funds available to pay interest on a Loan Tranche on any Funding 2 Interest Payment Date, the shortfall in the interest amount payable will not then fall due but will instead be due on the following Funding 2 Interest Payment Date on which sufficient funds are available to pay such interest, and pending such payment, will accrue interest at the rate specified for such Loan Tranche in the applicable Loan Tranche Supplement. 7.5 CERTAIN FEES In addition to the interest and principal payments to be made by Funding 2 in respect of each Loan Tranche under this Clause 7 and Clause 8, respectively, on each Funding 2 Interest Payment Date or on any other date on which the Master Issuer notifies Funding 2, but subject to Clause 5.1, Funding 2 shall pay to the Master Issuer for same day value to the Master Issuer Transaction Account a fee for the provision of the Master Intercompany Loan Facility (except that in the case of payments due under paragraphs (a), (b), (d), (e) and (j) below, such payments shall be paid when due by the Master Issuer).

ENTRENCHED PROVISIONS Each of Funding 2, the Master Issuer and the Funding 2 Security Trustee acknowledge and agree that Funding 2 may from time to time enter into New Funding 2 Loan Agreements and that the obligation of Funding 2 to repay the Loan Tranches made under this Agreement will rank pari passu with the obligations of Funding 2 to repay any such other loans made under such New Funding 2 Loan Agreements.

No event equivalent to any of the foregoing has occurred in or under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction; (d) neither the entry into of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party nor the making of any drawing nor granting of security under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party would be a transaction at an undervalue within the meaning of section 238 of the Act, since the value of any consideration received by the Company as a result of such drawing and/or grant of security would not be significantly less than the value of any consideration provided by the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; (e) the entry into of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, any drawing made by the Company under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and any security granted by the Company under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be entered into or made, as the case may be, by the Company, in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on its business, and there are reasonable grounds for believing that such entry into of such Transaction Documents, such drawings and grants of security would benefit the Company; (f) neither the entry into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party nor the making of any drawing nor the granting of any security under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party 33 would be a gratuitous alienation under section 242 of the Act (and equivalent provisions of common law of Scotland), since such drawing and/or grant of security was made for adequate consideration; (g) in entering into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, making a drawing under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and/or granting security under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party the Company has no desire to give a preference to any person as contemplated by section 239 of the Act nor is it the purpose of the Company to put assets beyond the reach of a person who is making, or may at some time make, a claim against the Company or of otherwise prejudicing the interests of such a person in relation to the claim which he is making or may make; (h) in entering into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, making a drawing under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and/or granting security under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the Company has not and will not breach any provision or exceed any powers contained in its Memorandum and Articles of Association; and (i) the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute reciprocal obligations of the Company with the other parties thereto for the purposes of section 243 of the Act (and equivalent provisions of common law of Scotland) and neither the entry into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party nor the making of any drawing nor the granting of any security under or pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which it is a party is or will be collusive for the purposes of prejudicing the general body of creditors of the Company. Terms defined in the amended and restated master definitions and construction schedule signed by, amongst others, the Master Issuer and the Funding 2 Security Trustee and dated 17 October 2006 (as the same may be amended, varied or supplemented from time to time) shall have the same respective meanings when used in this Certificate.
