Servicer hereby acknowledges that all powers to determine such policies (including the determination of whether or not any particular policy is for the benefit of the Mortgages Trustee or Funding 1) are, and shall at all times remain, vested, as the case may be, in the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 (and their respective directors) and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with this proviso.

(ii) to any delegation to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller or HBOS plc from time to time.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall not be liable in respect of any loss, liability, claim, expense or damage suffered or incurred by the Mortgages Trustee and/or the Beneficiaries and/or any other person as a result of the proper performance of the Services by the Servicer save where such loss, liability, claim, expense or damage is suffered or incurred as a result of any negligence or wilful default of the Servicer or as a result of a breach by the Servicer of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in relation to such functions.
(c) Any indemnification under this Clause 3.4 in respect of loss suffered by the Beneficiaries shall be paid for by reducing the Seller Share of the Trust Property by an amount equal to the relevant loss incurred by the Beneficiaries in accordance with Clause 8.4 of the Mortgages Trust Deed and Schedule 2 to the Cash Management Agreement.
4. MORTGAGES TRUSTEE VARIABLE BASE RATE/MORTGAGES TRUSTEE TRACKER RATE
4.1 The Mortgages Trustee and each of the Beneficiaries each hereby grants the Servicer full right, liberty and authority from time to time, in accordance with the relevant Mortgage Terms, to determine and set the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and any variable margin incorporated within the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate above the Bank of England repo rate applicable in relation to Tracker Rate Loans chargeable to Borrowers from time to time. In exercising such right, liberty and authority the Servicer undertakes to each of the other parties to this Agreement that it shall not at any time, without the prior consent of the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1, set or maintain the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate at a rate which is higher than (although it may be lower than or equal to) the then prevailing Seller’s Variable Base Rate, nor will it set or maintain a margin incorporated within the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate above the Bank of England repo rate in respect of any Tracker Rate Loan, which is higher than the margin above the Bank of England repo rate then applying to those Tracker Rate Loans beneficially owned by the Seller outside the Portfolio except in the limited circumstances described in this paragraph when the Mortgages Trustee will be entitled to do so. The Servicer will not at any time, without the prior consent of the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1, set or maintain:
(a) the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate at a rate which is higher than (although it may be lower than or equal to) the then prevailing Seller’s Variable Base Rate which applies to loans beneficially owned by the Seller outside the Portfolio;
5
(b) the margin incorporated within the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate in respect of any Tracker Rate Loan in the Portfolio which, where the offer conditions for that Tracker Rate Loan provide that the margin above the Bank of England repo rate shall be the same as the margin above the Bank of England repo rate applicable to all other loans having the same offer conditions in relation to interest rate setting as that Tracker Rate Loan, is higher or lower than the margin above the Bank of England repo rate then applying to those Tracker Rate Loans beneficially owned by the Seller outside the Portfolio; and
(c) the margin incorporated within the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate above the Bank of England repo rate in respect of any other Tracker Rate Loan which is higher than the margin above the Bank of England repo rate which would then be set in accordance with the Seller’s Policy from time to time in relation to that Tracker Rate Loan,
unless the Servicer is required to do so pursuant to Clause 4.3, and, subject to that requirement, that it shall not change the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate nor the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate save for the same reasons as the Seller was entitled, under the Mortgage Conditions, to change the Seller’s Variable Base Rate and the Seller’s Tracker Rate prior to the sale to the Mortgages Trustee of the Loans comprised in the Portfolio and their Related Security. Each of the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries shall be bound by the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate set in accordance with this Agreement.
4.2 The Servicer shall take the steps rendered necessary by the relevant Mortgage Terms and applicable law (including, without limitation, the Guidance Note on Interest Variation Terms issued by the Office of Fair Trading in February 2000 and any successor guideline or applicable additional guidelines) to bring each change in such rate or rates of interest to the attention of the relevant Borrowers, whether due to a change in the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate or the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate or as a consequence of any provisions of the Mortgage Terms. Any change in the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate or the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate shall be notified in writing to each of the Mortgages Trustee, the Security Trustee and the Beneficiaries as soon as reasonably practicable and shall, upon receipt of a request from any of such parties, notify such requesting party of any changes in the Monthly Payments in relation to the Loans. All costs arising in relation to such a notification of a change in such rate or rates of interest shall be borne by the Servicer.
4.3 (a) On each Funding 1 Interest Payment Date the Servicer shall determine, having regard to the aggregate of:
(i) the revenue which Funding 1 would expect to receive during the next succeeding Interest Period;
(ii) the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate, any variable margins applicable in relation to any Tracker Rate Loans and the Variable Mortgage Rates in respect of the Loans which the Servicer proposes to set under this Clause 4; and
(iii) the other resources available to Funding 1 including the Funding 1 Swap Agreement, the Funding 1 Liquidity Facility, the General Reserve Fund and the Liquidity Reserve Fund,
whether Funding 1 would receive an amount of revenue during that Loan Interest Period which when aggregated with the funds otherwise available to it is less than the
6
amount which is the aggregate of (A) the amount of interest which will be payable in respect of the Term AAA Advances on the Funding 1 Interest Payment Date falling at the end of such Loan Interest Period and (B) the other senior expenses of Funding 1 which rank in priority thereto (the amount (if any) by which it is less being the Interest Rate Shortfall).
(b) If the Servicer determines that there will be an Interest Rate Shortfall, it will within one London Business Day of such determination give written notice thereof to the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee of such Interest Rate Shortfall and of the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and/or the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate which would (taking into account the applicable Mortgage Conditions), in the Servicer’s reasonable opinion, need to be set in order for no Interest Rate Shortfall to arise, having regard to the date(s) (which shall be specified in the notice) on which such change to the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate would take effect and at all times acting in accordance with the standards of a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender as regards the competing interests of Borrowers with Mortgage Trustee Variable Base Rate Loans and Borrowers with Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate Loans.
(c) If the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee notify the Servicer that, having regard to the obligations of Funding 1, the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and/or the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate should be increased, the Servicer, as agent for and on behalf of, inter alia, the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries, shall take all steps which are necessary, including publishing any notice which is required in accordance with the Mortgage Terms, to effect such change in the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and/or the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate on the date(s) specified in the notice referred to in Clause 4.3(b).
(d) The Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 and the Security Trustee may terminate the authority of the Servicer under Clause 4.1 and Clause 4.3 to determine the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate on or after the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, in which case the Mortgages Trustee shall set the Mortgages Trustee Variable Base Rate and the Mortgages Trustee Tracker Rate in accordance with this Clause 4.
5. ADMINISTRATION OF MORTGAGES
5.1 Direct Debiting Scheme
(a) For the purposes of collecting amounts due from Borrowers under the Loans and their Related Security comprised in the Portfolio in accordance with this Agreement the Servicer will unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Beneficiaries:
(i) act, or procure that another person approved in writing by the Beneficiaries (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) (the Third Party Collection Agent) acts, as collection agent for the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries under the Direct Debiting Scheme and remains a member of the Direct Debiting Scheme or any scheme which replaces the Direct Debiting Scheme;
(ii) subject to Clauses 5.1(b) and 5.1(c), deliver to the Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS) or to the Account Bank such instructions as may be necessary from time to time for the debit of the account of each Borrower in respect of which there is a direct debit mandate (the date of such delivery being the D.D. Date) with the Monthly Payment due from such Borrower, and for the amount of such Monthly
7
Payment to be credited to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account on the day after the D.D. Date or, if such is not a London Business Day, the following London Business Day unless the short-term ratings of the Account Bank fall below A-1 by S&P, P-1 by Xxxxx’x or F-1 by Fitch, in which case all further instructions by the Servicer to debit the accounts of Borrowers that are subject to direct debit bank mandates shall be made to another bank which has a rating of at least A-1 by S&P, P-1 by Xxxxx’x or F-1 by Fitch, or directly to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account;
(iii) subject to Clauses 5.1(b) and 5.1(c), deliver to the Account Bank or BACS (as appropriate) instructions for the debit of the account of each Borrower in respect of which there is a direct debit mandate and the Monthly Payment due and owing from such Borrower on the D.D. Date immediately preceding the next succeeding Monthly Payment Date remains outstanding to the extent that, on the date of presentation of such instructions, such Monthly Payment has not been received in full by the Servicer on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee and where the instructions for the debit of the account of the relevant Borrower for the Monthly Payment due and owing from such Borrower was returned to the Servicer marked “insufficient funds” within 10 London Business Days of receipt by the Servicer of any such returned instructions;
(iv) subject to Clauses 5.1(b) and 5.1(c), deliver to the Account Bank or BACS (as appropriate) such other instructions for the debit of the account of each Borrower in respect of which there is a direct debit mandate in accordance with the Direct Debiting Scheme as may be appropriate for the recovery of sums due by such Borrower;
(v) comply in all material respects with the requirements from time to time of the Direct Debiting Scheme including “The Originator’s Guide and Rules to the Direct Debiting Scheme” as amended from time to time,
and take all such other steps as are reasonably appropriate, including in particular the preparation and administration of appropriate computer tapes in connection with BACS, to ensure that all monies received from Borrowers during banking hours on any particular day are credited on the next day to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account.
(b) The Servicer may agree with a Borrower that the Direct Debiting Scheme shall not apply to Monthly Payments to be made by such Borrower, provided, subject to Clause 5.1(d), that (i) alternative payment arrangements are made which are intended to ensure timely payment of Monthly Payments due from the Borrower to the Mortgages Trustee on behalf of the Beneficiaries, and (ii) the change in arrangements was made at the instigation of the Borrower or by the Servicer in accordance with the procedures which would be adopted by a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender.
(c) The Servicer may, notwithstanding the proviso to Clause 5.1(b), agree such procedures for the payment by a Borrower of (i) overdue amounts and (ii) amounts payable on redemption of a Mortgage in whole or in part other than through the Direct Debiting Scheme as would be agreed by a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender.
(d) The Servicer shall, notwithstanding the proviso to Clause 5.1(b), use its reasonable endeavours to credit Monthly Payments made by a Borrower under a payment arrangement other than the Direct Debiting Scheme to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account as follows:
(i) where the Borrower pays by standing order, by close of business on the second London Business Day following the day on which such amount is received or credited by the Servicer;
8
(ii) where the Borrower pays by payment of cash, by transfer payment from another account of the Seller or by cheque where reference to the relevant Borrower is provided or payments are made by way of paying-in book, by close of business on the London Business Day which immediately follows the day on which such amount is received or credited by the Servicer; and
(iii) where the Borrower pays by cheque where a reference to the relevant Borrower is not provided, by close of business on the next London Business Day after notification from the banks operating the Seller Bank Accounts of the identity of the Borrower.
(e) Where a Borrower permits a direct debit to be made to his bank account, the Servicer will endeavour to procure that such Borrower maintains a valid and effective mandate relating to such direct debit in relation to each Monthly Payment due from that Borrower, provided that in any case where a Borrower will not permit a direct debit to be made to his bank account the Servicer will endeavour to make alternative arrangements acceptable to a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender so that such Borrower nevertheless pays each Monthly Payment within the month in which it falls due.
(f) In the event that the BACS system ceases to operate for any reason the Servicer will use reasonable endeavours to make alternative arrangements for the use of the back up systems available to each Account Bank.
(g) If at any time the Servicer shall receive notice whether under the Direct Debiting Scheme or otherwise that any amount (or part thereof), which was paid in or credited pursuant to Clause 5.1 and which has been transferred to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account has not been received as cleared funds or has otherwise been recalled, the Servicer shall notify the Cash Manager and instruct the Cash Manager forthwith to debit the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account and credit the relevant collection account for the whole or any part of such amount (such amount hereinafter referred to as the shortfall) and, an amount equal to any costs which are irrecoverable by the Servicer from the relevant Borrower incurred by the Servicer as a result of such shortfall; PROVIDED THAT no debit from the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account for the credit of the collection accounts in respect of any shortfall may be made on or after a Calculation Date in respect of the relevant period between that Calculation Date and the next Distribution Date unless sufficient funds are available after providing or making provision for all payments to be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date. After that following Distribution Date the Mortgages Trustee shall transfer, or procure on its behalf the transfer, from the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account to the relevant collection account of an amount equal to such shortfall subject to it having sufficient funds available to it or the Servicer shall deduct an amount equal to such shortfall from payments otherwise due on a daily basis from the Seller to the Mortgages Trustee in respect of Principal Receipts and Interest Receipts received under the Loans.
5.2 Administration and Enforcement of Mortgages
(a) The Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries hereby direct the Servicer to administer the Loans comprised in the Portfolio and carry out its specific obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the Seller’s Policy.
(b) The Servicer will, in relation to any default by a Borrower under or in connection with a Loan or a Mortgage comprised in the Portfolio, comply with the Enforcement Procedures or, to the extent that the Enforcement Procedures are not applicable having regard to the nature of the default in question, take such action as is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Mortgages Trustee (as trustee for the Beneficiaries) and the Beneficiaries under the relevant MIG Policy, provided that:
9
(i) the Servicer shall only become obliged to comply with the Enforcement Procedures (to the extent applicable) or to take action as aforesaid after it has become aware of the default;
(ii) it is acknowledged by the Beneficiaries that mortgage lenders generally exercise discretion in pursuing their respective enforcement procedures and that the Servicer may exercise such discretion as would a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender in applying the Enforcement Procedures to any particular defaulting Borrower or taking action as aforesaid, provided that in exercising such discretion the interest of Funding 1 in the Portfolio is not materially prejudiced; and
(iii) in any case where any of the Insurance Policies requires exact compliance with certain enforcement procedures the Servicer shall procure the prior written consent of the relevant insurance company for any deviation by it from such enforcement procedures.
5.3 Records
The Servicer shall keep and maintain records in relation to the Portfolio, on a Loan by Loan basis, for the purposes of identifying amounts paid by each Borrower, any amount due from a Borrower and the principal balance (and, if different, the total balance) from time to time outstanding on a Borrower’s account and such other records as would be kept by a Reasonable, Prudent Mortgage Lender. The Servicer will provide such information to the Mortgages Trustee and/or Funding 1 and/or the Security Trustee or to their order at any time upon reasonable notice subject to the Servicer being reasonably capable of providing such information without significant additional cost and subject to the provisions of the Data Protection Xxx 0000 and other applicable legislation from time to time and provided that no duty of confidence and no industry code of practice will or may be breached thereby.
5.4 Trust
(a) If the Servicer in carrying out its functions as Servicer under this Agreement receives (including in its capacity as agent for the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries) any money whatsoever arising from the Loans and their Related Security, which money belongs to the Mortgages Trustee (as trustee for the Beneficiaries) and is to be paid to the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, it will hold such monies on trust for the Mortgages Trustee and shall keep such money separate from all other monies held by the Servicer and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within the time limits referred to in Clause 5.1, pay the monies into the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account.
(b) All other sums received by the Servicer in respect of the Loans and their Related Security shall be held by the Servicer for itself.
6. NO LIABILITY
6.1 The Servicer shall have no liability for any obligation of a Borrower under any Loan comprised in the Portfolio or any Related Security and nothing herein shall constitute a guarantee, or similar obligation, by the Servicer of any Loan, Mortgage or any Borrower.
6.2 Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall have no liability for the obligations of the Mortgages Trustee or the Beneficiaries under any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise and nothing herein shall constitute a guarantee, or similar obligation, by the Servicer of the Mortgages Trustee or the Beneficiaries in respect of any of them.
10
7. NEW LOANS
7.1 The Portfolio may be augmented from time to time by the sale to the Mortgages Trustee on any Sale Date of a New Portfolio by the Seller.
7.2 The sale of each New Portfolio to the Mortgages Trustee will in all cases be subject to the terms set out in the Mortgage Sale Agreement including, without limitation, the conditions set out in Clauses 4 of the Mortgage Sale Agreement and the representations and warranties set out in Clause 8 of the Mortgage Sale Agreement.

(b) that if, at the date at which circumstances enable the Mortgages Trustee to exercise its right to demand that the Servicer transfer inter alia personal data to the Mortgages Trustee, (i) Jersey has been determined, on the basis of Article 25(b) of Directive 95/46/EC a third country which ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data by the European Commission or (ii) the Servicer and the Mortgages Trustee have entered into the Standard Contractual Clauses then, subject to the Clause 18(e), the Servicer shall transfer the relevant personal data to the Mortgages Trustee or to its order;

17
(d) that the Servicer and the Mortgages Trustee will only use any data in relation to the Loans and the related Borrowers for the purposes of administering and/or managing the Portfolio, and will not sell such data to any third party or allow any third party to use such data other than in compliance with the Data Protection Act, the conditions stated in this Clause 18 and for the sole purpose of administering and/or managing the Portfolio;

(f) that the Mortgages Trustee shall maintain a written record of its reasons for applying the Data Protection Order 2000/185 (as set forth under the Conditions under paragraph 3 of Part II of Schedule I of the Data Protection Act).
18.2 The Servicer will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that, in the event of the appointment of a sub-contractor in accordance with Clause 3.2 such sub-contractor shall obtain and maintain all appropriate registrations, licences, consents and authorities required (including, without limitation, those required under the Data Protection Act), and comply with obligations equivalent to those imposed on the Servicer in this Clause 18, to enable it to perform its obligations.
19.1 The Servicer hereby covenants with and undertakes to each of the Mortgages Trustee, the Beneficiaries and the Security Trustee that without prejudice to any of its specific obligations hereunder it will:
(a) administer the Loans and their Related Security as if the same had not been sold to the Mortgages Trustee but had remained on the books of the Seller;

(b) default is made by the Servicer in the performance or observance of any of its other covenants and obligations under this Agreement, which in the reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee is materially prejudicial to the interests of Funding 1 and/or the Issuers under the Intercompany Loans and/or the interests of the holders of the Notes from time to time and such default continues unremedied for a period of 20 London Business Days after becoming aware of such default provided however that where the relevant default occurs as a result of a default by any person to whom the Servicer has sub-contracted or delegated part of its obligations hereunder, such default shall not constitute a Termination Event if, within such period of 10 London Business Days of receipt of such notice from Funding 1 and the Security Trustee, the Servicer terminates the relevant sub-contracting or delegation arrangements and takes such steps as Funding 1 and the Security Trustee may in their absolute discretion specify to remedy such default or to indemnify the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries against the consequences of such default; or
19
(c) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation to the Servicer; or
(d) the Board of Funding 1 resolves, after due consideration and acting reasonably, that the appointment of the Servicer should be terminated,

(b) a substitute servicer shall be appointed, such appointment to be effective not later than the date of such termination and the Servicer shall notify the Rating Agencies in writing of the identity of such substitute servicer;
(c) such substitute servicer has experience of administering mortgages of and standard securities over residential property in the United Kingdom and is approved by the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries;
(d) such substitute servicer enters into an agreement substantially on the same terms as the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the Servicer shall not be released from its obligations under the relevant provisions of this Agreement until such substitute servicer has entered into such new agreement; and

21.4 Upon termination of the appointment of the Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 21 (but subject to Clause 18(e)), the Servicer shall:

20
(b) take such further action as the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee may reasonably direct at the expense of the Beneficiaries (including in relation to the appointment of a substitute servicer) provided that the Mortgages Trustee shall not be required to take or direct to be taken such further action unless it has been indemnified to its satisfaction;
(c) provide all relevant information contained on computer records in the form of magnetic tape, together with details of the layout of the files encoded on such magnetic tapes;
(d) co-operate and consult with and assist the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1, the Security Trustee and their nominees (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include any new servicer appointed by any of them) for the purposes of explaining the file layouts and the format of the magnetic tapes generally containing such computer records on the computer system of the Mortgages Trustee or such nominee; and
(e) permit the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1 and the Security Trustee to have access at reasonable times to the Halifax Insurance Policies.
21.5 The Servicer shall deliver to the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within five days of becoming aware thereof a notice of any Termination Event or any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or certification would constitute the same. Such notification shall specify which event in Clause 21 has occurred and was the cause of such Termination Event (or any event which the giving of notice or lapse of time or certification would constitute a Termination Event), a description of the details of such Termination Event, and, if relevant, a reference to the provision in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents which the Servicer has breached.
21.6 Termination of this Agreement or the appointment of the Servicer under this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the liabilities of the Mortgages Trustee and the Beneficiaries to the Servicer or vice versa incurred before the date of such termination. The Servicer shall have no right of set-off or any lien in respect of such amounts against amounts held by it on behalf of the Mortgages Trustee.

Such monies so receivable by the Servicer shall be paid by the Mortgages Trustee on the dates on which they would otherwise have fallen due hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, such termination shall not affect the Servicer’s rights to receive payment of all amounts (if any) due to it from the Mortgages Trustee other than under this Agreement.
21.9 Prior to termination of this Agreement, the Servicer, the Seller, the Security Trustee, the Mortgages Trustee and Funding 1 shall co-operate to obtain the agreement of the Borrowers to a new bank mandate permitting the Mortgages Trustee to operate the Direct Debiting Scheme.

22.3 In the event that there is any change in the identity of the Mortgages Trustee or an additional Mortgages Trustee is appointed, the remaining Mortgages Trustee and/or the retiring Mortgages Trustee, as the case may be, shall execute such documents with any other parties to this Agreement and take such actions as such new Mortgages Trustee may reasonably require for the purposes of vesting in such new Mortgages Trustee the rights of the Mortgages Trustee under this Agreement and releasing the retiring Mortgages Trustee from further obligations thereunder and while any Note remains outstanding shall give notice thereof to the Rating Agencies.
22.4 Nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation or liability on the Mortgages Trustee to assume or perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder or render it liable for any breach thereof.
23. MISCELLANEOUS
23.1 Subject to Clause 23.2, in the event that the funds available to the Mortgages Trustee on any Funding 1 Interest Payment Date are not sufficient to satisfy in full the aggregate amount payable to the Servicer by the Mortgages Trustee on such Funding 1 Interest Payment Date then the amount payable to the Servicer on such Funding 1 Interest Payment Date shall be reduced by the amount of the shortfall and such shortfall shall (subject always to the provisions of this Clause 23) be payable on the immediately succeeding Funding 1 Interest Payment Date.
23.2 In the event that:
(a) after redemption in full of the Intercompany Loans; or
(b) after service of an Intercompany Loan Acceleration Notice and payment of all other prior claims,
