3.3 Each Utilisation Request is irrevocable and will not be regarded as

- 5 -
3.4 Only one Advance may be requested in each Utilisation Request.
3.5 The Issuer is deemed to repeat the representations referred to in

hereunder will be divided into periods which will correspond with the
Interest Periods.

any and all outstanding Advances, at the rate per annum which is the
aggregate of (i) the Applicable Margin, and (ii) LIBOR for the relevant
Interest Period. Interest will accrue from day to day and will be
calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 365 days
(or 366 days if the relevant Interest Period ends in a leap year) and
will be (subject to Clause 7 (Enforcement Event)) payable in arrear on
each Interest Payment Date.
4.3 To the extent that the aggregate of the monies available to the Issuer
in respect of any Series, as credited to the relevant Expenses Loan
Ledger, on any Interest Payment Date is less than the amount of interest
then due to the Lender in respect of any and all Relevant Advances made
in relation to that Series after taking into account all other payments
to be made therefrom on such date in accordance with the Arran Funding
Note Trust Deed and the relevant Arran Funding Note Trust Deed
Supplement in priority to such interest, payment of the amount of the
shortfall in respect of that Series ("RELEVANT
- 6 -
DEFERRED INTEREST") will be deferred to the extent of available funds
until the next Interest Payment Date thereafter on which funds are
available to the Issuer to pay such Relevant Deferred Interest; PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that if any Relevant Deferred Interest remains outstanding
after the relevant Final Repayment Date, the Relevant Deferred Interest
will be repaid on the next and subsequent Interest Payment Date to the
extent funds are available for such purpose and any liability in excess
of such available funds shall be extinguished.
4.4 Any payments made by the Issuer under this Expenses Loan Agreement will
be paid after deduction of withholding for tax where such deduction or
withholding is required by law and there will be no obligation on the
Issuer to pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding or
deduction notwithstanding the term of any other documents to which it is
a party.
4.5 The Lender will promptly notify the Issuer and the Trust Cash Manager of
each determination of LIBOR made pursuant to this Expenses Loan

Series.
5.2 Subject to Clause 7 (Enforcement Event) and the provisions of this
Clause 5, any outstanding Advance will be repaid in monthly instalments
on each Interest Payment Date as set out in the Amortisation Schedule
then in effect in relation to that Series.
5.3 Each date on which an Advance will be repayable in whole or in an
instalment as stated in the relevant Amortisation Schedule will be a
"REPAYMENT DATE" and each amount so repayable a "REPAYMENT AMOUNT".
5.4 Subject to Clause 5.5 (Repayment) below, to the extent monies available
to the Issuer in the Issuer Distribution Account in respect of any
Series, as credited to the relevant Series Expenses Loan Ledger in
accordance with the terms of the Arran Funding Note Trust Deed and the
relevant Arran Funding Note Trust Deed Supplement thereto, are on any
Repayment Date insufficient to pay in full any Repayment Amount then due
in respect of that Series (after taking into account all other payments
to be made therefrom on such date in accordance with the Arran Funding
Note Trust Deed and supplements thereto), such Repayment Amount will be
reduced by the amount of such shortfall and the next Repayment Amount in
respect of any outstanding Advance in relation to that Series increased
by the same amount; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that if any part of any
outstanding Relevant Advance made in relation to that Series ("RELEVANT
DEFERRED PRINCIPAL") remains outstanding after the Final Repayment Date,
the Relevant Deferred Principal will be repaid on the next and
subsequent Interest Payment Date to the extent funds are
- 7 -
available for such purpose and any liability in excess of such available
funds shall be extinguished.
5.5 In the event that a Rapid Amortisation Period or Regulated Amortisation
Period commences in respect of the related Loan Note of a particular
Series then, on each subsequent Repayment Date during such period, the
Repayment Amount scheduled to be paid on that date pursuant to Clause
5.1 or Clause 5.2 will be the amount which is the lesser of (i) the
amount standing to the credit of the relevant Series Expenses Loan
Ledger of such Series at such time which has been allocated in
accordance with the relevant Arran Funding Note Trust Deed Supplement
relating to such Series towards payment of additional amounts in respect
of the Expenses Loan and (ii) the amount of the Expenses Loan
outstanding at such time.
6. PREPAYMENT
6.1 The Issuer may prepay the whole or any part of the Expenses Loan on any
Interest Payment Date to the extent of available funds available for
such purpose. Any amounts agreed with the Lender to be prepaid in
accordance with this Clause 6.1 will be additional amounts for the
purposes of Clause [*] of the relevant Arran Funding Note Trust Deed
Supplement.
6.2 Any prepayment will on that Interest Payment Date first reduce the
amount payable in respect of the Repayment Amounts which are payable on
the Repayment Date furthest in time from such Interest Payment Date in
priority to the Repayment Amounts payable on any other Interest Payment
Date.

If the Note Trustee serves a Enforcement Notice on the Issuer pursuant
to the terms of any Note it will forthwith provide a copy thereof to the
Lender and the Lender may, by notice to the Issuer, declare all or any

contingent of the Issuer which rank in priority to its liabilities to
the Lender under this Expenses Loan Agreement and so that the Issuer
will not be obliged to make any payment to the Lender hereunder if and
to the extent that the making of such payment would cause or be likely
to cause the Issuer to be or become unable to pay its debts as they fall
due.
8.4 Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this Clause, the Lender
hereby covenants with the Issuer and the Note Trustee that if, whether
in the liquidation of the Issuer or otherwise (and notwithstanding the

and the Issuer or any liquidator thereof such amounts paid under this
Clause 8.4 will be deemed to be paid and as between the Lender and the
Issuer or any liquidator thereof such amounts paid under this Clause 8.4
will be deemed not to have been paid.

off or claim to set off the Expenses Loan or any interest thereon or any
part of either thereof against any liability owed by it to the Issuer.
