together with any additional Funding Available Revenue Receipts under
paragraph (3) below, shall constitute "Shared Issuer Revenue
Receipts". Shared Issuer Revenue Receipts will be reallocated by the
Cash Manager and distributed on such Payment Date among the Issuers
until there are no remaining amounts of Shared Issuer Revenue
Receipts to be reallocated and
19
distributed on such Payment Date. If there is more than one Issuer
that is entitled to Shared Issuer Revenue Receipts then each such

Receipts equal to:
Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Intercompany Loan of the Issuer
Amount of Shared Issuer Revenue Receipts x--------------------------------------------
Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Intercompany Loans of all Issuers
(2) No Issuer shall be entitled to or shall receive any amount of
Issuer Allocable Revenue Receipts from Funding on a Payment Date on
which such Issuer is not required by that Issuer to make a payment on
that date in accordance with the relevant Issuer Pre-Enforcement
Revenue Priority of Payments or other relevant Issuer Priority of
Payments which applies to that Issuer on that date, and the Cash
Manager will take account of all of the funds which are or will
become available to that Issuer on that Payment Date and which
constitute Issuer Available Revenue Receipts (including any payments
due under any Swap Agreement and any interest or other income
received or to be received) for that Issuer for the purpose of making
this determination.
(3) Unless and until the Intercompany Loan of any Issuer has been
repaid in full and Funding has no further liability under the
relevant Intercompany Loan Agreement, amounts standing to the credit
of the Issuer Reserve Ledger and the Issuer Liquidity Reserve Ledger,
if any, established by Funding for that Issuer may only be utilized
by Funding in making payments due under that Issuer's Intercompany
Loan and may not be used in or towards the payment of any other
liability of Funding. On the Payment Date following the repayment in
full of the Intercompany Loan of that Issuer and provided that
Funding has no further liability in respect of the relevant
Intercompany Loan Agreement, any remaining amounts standing to the
credit of the Issuer Reserve Ledger and the Issuer Liquidity Reserve
Ledger, if any, of that Issuer will constitute additional Funding
Available Revenue Receipts for the purpose of paragraphs (N) through
(Q) of the Funding Pre-Enforcement Revenue Priority of Payments and
may be utilized by Funding in paying any other liability of Funding
subject to and in accordance with the relevant Funding Priority of
Payments.
(4) If on any Payment Date any Issuer Allocable Revenue Receipts
and/or any Shared Issuer Revenue Receipts are paid to an Issuer and
are applied by that Issuer, in reducing any deficiency recorded on
the Issuer Principal Deficiency Ledger of that Issuer (but only to
the extent that any deficiency which has arisen as a result of (i)
losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated by Funding to the Issuer
and/or (ii) the application of Funding Available Principal Receipts
to fund the Issuer Liquidity
20
Reserve Fund of the Issuer, but not as a result of any other principal
deficiency of the Issuer), then the Issuer Allocable Revenue Receipts
and/or Shared Issuer Revenue Receipts so applied shall constitute
repayments of principal under the relevant Intercompany Loan and shall
reduce the Outstanding Principal Balance of that Intercompany Loan
accordingly.
21
Part II
Funding Pre-Enforcement Principal Priority of Payments
On each Payment Date prior to enforcement of the Funding Security, the Cash
Manager will, subject to the rules for application of Funding Available
Principal Receipts set forth below, apply Funding Available Principal Receipts
in the following order of priority (the "Funding Pre-Enforcement Principal
Priority of Payments"):
(A) first, to fund or replenish, as the case may be, the
Issuer Liquidity Reserve Fund, if any, of each Issuer up to
the Issuer Liquidity Reserve Required Amount but only from
and to the extent of the Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts
for that Issuer;
(B) second, to pay to (or, if required under that
Issuer's Intercompany Loan, set aside for) each Issuer an
amount up to its Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts in
respect of principal due (or, if required under that
Issuer's Intercompany Loan, to become due) on that Issuer's
Intercompany Loan, which shall be an amount up to the
aggregate amount of, and shall be applied in the amounts and
priorities set forth in, the Issuer Principal Payments for
that Issuer;
(C) last, to pay to (or, if required under that Issuer's
Intercompany Loan, set aside for) each Issuer an amount up
to its allocable portion of Shared Issuer Principal Receipts
in respect of principal due (or, if required under that
Issuer's Intercompany Loan, to become due) on that Issuer's
Intercompany Loan, which in the case of the Issuer shall be
an amount up to the aggregate amount of, and shall be
applied in the amounts and priorities set forth in, the
Issuer Principal Payments for that Issuer until there are no
remaining Funding Available Principal Receipts on such
Payment Date,
PROVIDED THAT no amount will be applied in replenishing the Issuer Liquidity
Reserve Fund held by Funding in respect of an Issuer under paragraph (A) above
following an enforcement of the Issuer Security relating to that Issuer.
Rules for application of Funding available principal receipts
(1) On the Distribution Date immediately preceding such
Payment Date, the Cash Manager will calculate the "Issuer Allocable
Principal Receipts" for each Issuer in respect of the relevant
Payment Date which, subject as provided in paragraphs (2) through (7)
below, is for any Issuer an amount which is equal to the sum of:
(A) For any Issuer which has a Money Market Note
still outstanding up to the amount equal to the Controlled
Amortization Amount due on such Money Market Note, if any,
on the Payment Date immediately succeeding such Distribution
Date; and
22
(B) For any Issuer, an amount equal to the lesser of:
(a) (only if relevant) the principal amount due on
the Intercompany Loan of such Issuer which is an amount
equal to the Controlled Amortisation Amount due, if any, on
the Payment Date immediately succeeding such Distribution
Date (excluding any amount calculated in accordance with
paragraph 1(A)); and
(b) an amount equal to:
Funding Available Principal Receipts
minus the aggregate of any Controlled Outstanding Principal Balance on
Amortisation Amounts already allocated x such Issuer's Intercompany Loan
to an Issuer under (1)(A) above in after applying amounts allocated
relation to the Money Market Notes of under 1(A) above
such Issuer on such Payment Date ---------------------------
Aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Intercompany's
Loans of all Issuers
PROVIDED THAT,
(a) subject as provided in paragraphs (2) through (7) below,
for the purpose only of determining the amount of Issuer Allocable
Principal Receipts which may be allocated and paid to that Issuer
(but not to any other Issuer) in accordance with this paragraph (1),
following an enforcement of the Issuer Security relating to that
Issuer the amount so determined may be increased to the extent of the
aggregate of any amounts standing to the credit of the Issuer
Liquidity Reserve Ledger, if any, and the Issuer Reserve Ledger of
that Issuer remaining on that Payment Date after the application of
such reserve funds in accordance with the Funding Pre-Enforcement
Revenue Priority of Payments; and
(b) for the purposes only of determining the amount of Shared
Issuer Principal Receipts in accordance with paragraph (6) below,
Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts shall be an amount equal to the
amount calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1(A) and (1)(B)(b)
above and paragraph 1(B)(a) above shall not apply.
(2) If the Notes of any Issuer have become immediately due and
payable as a result of the service of a Note Enforcement Notice or if
the Intercompany Loan of any Issuer and the other Intercompany Loans
of any other Issuers have become immediately due and payable as a
result of the service of an Intercompany Loan Enforcement Notice or
otherwise on any Payment Date following the occurrence of any Asset
Trigger Event, principal payments in respect of any Intercompany Loan
may be made in excess of any Controlled Amortisation Amount and
paragraphs (1)(A) and 1(B)(a) above shall no longer apply in relation
to that Issuer and the amount of Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts
payable to that Issuer on the relevant Payment Date may not exceed
the amount determined under paragraph (1)(B)(b) above (save that no
deduction shall be made from Funding Available Principal Receipts)
but subject always to any increase in that amount as a result of the
23
utilisation of the Issuer Reserve Fund and the Issuer Liquidity
Reserve Fund (if any) following enforcement of the Issuer Security
relating to that Issuer as provided in that paragraph.
(3) For the purpose of determining the amount of Issuer
Allocable Principal Receipts and/or any Shared Issuer Principal
Receipts which may be paid to any Issuer on a Payment Date pursuant
to paragraph (1) above or paragraph (6) below, the Outstanding
Principal Balance of that Intercompany Loan shall be deemed to be
reduced by the amount of:
(a) any deficiency recorded on the Issuer Principal
Deficiency Ledger of that Issuer as at such Payment
Date, but only to the extent that such deficiency has
arisen as a result of (i) losses on the Mortgage Loans
allocated by Funding to that Issuer and/or (ii) the
application of Funding Available Principal Receipts to
fund the Issuer Liquidity Reserve Fund of that Issuer
but not as a result of any other principal deficiency of
that Issuer; and
(b) the Outstanding Principal Balance as at such Payment
Date of any Special Repayment Notes issued by that
Issuer.
(4) The amount of Funding Available Principal Receipts payable
to each Issuer on a Payment Date will be reduced by an amount equal
to the aggregate of the Issuer Available Revenue Receipts of that
Issuer which are to be applied on that Payment Date in reducing
deficiencies recorded on the Issuer Principal Deficiency Ledgers, but
only to the extent that the Issuer Available Revenue Receipts which
are to be so applied on that Payment Date would not otherwise be
payable as principal on the relevant Notes on such Payment Date.
(5) No Issuer shall be entitled to, or shall receive on a
Payment Date, any amount of Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts from
Funding which is not required by that Issuer to make a payment on
that date in accordance with the relevant Issuer Pre-Enforcement
Principal Priority of Payments or otherwise to make a payment of
principal on the Notes.
(6) The portion of Issuer Allocable Principal Receipts
(calculated in accordance with paragraph 1(b) above), if any, not
required to be applied by the Issuer to pay principal on the Notes on
a Payment Date together with the portion of Issuer Allocable
Principal Receipts relating to all other Issuers not required to be
so applied by such other Issuers (or otherwise required to be set
aside by Funding for any Issuer) on that Payment Date (excluding the
amount of any Issuer Reserve Fund or Issuer Liquidity Reserve Fund
(if any) of any Issuer), shall constitute "Shared Issuer Principal
Receipts". Shared Issuer Principal Receipts will be reallocated by
the Cash
24
Manager and distributed on such Payment Date among the Issuers
as payments of principal under the applicable Intercompany
Loans to the extent required to make payments of principal due on the
relevant Notes. Such reallocation and distribution will continue to
be made on such Payment Date until there are no remaining amounts of
Shared Issuer Principal Receipts to be reallocated and distributed on
such Payment Date. Save as provided in paragraph (2) above, if there
is more than one Issuer that is entitled to Shared Issuer Principal
Receipts, then each such Issuer will be reallocated a portion of the
Shared Issuer Principal Receipts equal to:
Outstanding Principal Balance of
Shared Issuer Principal Receipts x the Intercompany Loan of the Issuer

Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of
the Intercompany Loans of all Issuers
(7) The repayment of any Intercompany Loan prior to the
occurrence of a Trigger Event, enforcement of the Issuer Security by
the Note Trustee under the Issuer Deed of Charge or enforcement of
the Funding Security by the Security Trustee under the Funding Deed
of Charge will be made in accordance with the terms of the relevant
Intercompany Loan Agreement.
