Underlying Assets The Issuer will make payments on the Notes from, inter alia, payments of principal and revenue received from a portfolio comprising mortgage loans acquired by Kayl PL S.à r.l (“Kayl”) and secured over residential properties located in England and Wales and Scotland which will be purchased by the Issuer on the Issue Date. Substitution of the loans contained in the Mortgage Pool may occur in accordance with the terms described herein. Please refer to the section entitled “Constitution of the Mortgage Pool – The Mortgage Pool” for further information. Credit Enhancement • amounts standing to the credit of the Non-Liquidity Reserve Fund Ledger; • any Available Revenue Funds in excess of senior costs and interest due on the Rated Notes (“Excess Spread”) (if any); and • the subordination of junior ranking Notes upon enforcement. Please refer to the section entitled “Credit Structure” for further information. Subordinated Loan Facility Kayl (the “Subordinated Lender”) will provide a subordinated loan facility (the “Subordinated Loan Facility”) pursuant to which the Subordinated Lender (or one of its affiliates) may on request, at any time and at its discretion, make available to the Issuer advances in sterling to fund any Issuer Payment Amounts. All advances will be initially credited to a separate ledger of the Transaction Account (the “Shortfall Ledger”) from where amounts may be debited for the payment of Issuer Payment Amounts. Each advance shall bear interest at a rate of 3 Month Sterling LIBOR plus 4.5% on the outstanding balance of the advance. All such advances shall be repaid out of Available Revenue Funds and Available Principal Funds pursuant to the Priorities of Payment. Liquidity Support • Amounts standing to the credit of the Liquidity Reserve Fund Ledger; • Available Principal Funds applied to make up any Revenue Shortfall in respect of the A Notes; and • Available Principal Funds applied to make up any shortfall in respect of the B Notes, the C Notes, the D Notes and the E Notes, in each case subject to the relevant PDL Condition.

Redemption Provisions Information on any optional and mandatory redemption of the Notes is summarised on page 4 (“Transaction Overview –Terms and Conditions of the Notes – Redemption” and set out in full in Condition 5 (Redemption). (iii) Credit Rating Agencies In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Community and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit rating agency operating in the European Community before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. Each of S&P and Moody’s is established in the EU and is registered under the CRA Regulation. Credit Ratings Ratings are expected to be assigned to the A Notes, the B Notes, the C Notes, the D Notes and the E Notes (together the “Rated Notes”) as set out above on or before the Issue Date. The ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies address (a) the likelihood of full and timely payment of interest due to the holders of the Rated Notes on each Interest Payment Date and (b) full payment of principal due to the holders of the Rated Notes by a date that is not later than the Final Maturity Date for the Rated Notes. The assignment of ratings to the Rated Notes is not a recommendation to invest in the Rated Notes. Any credit rating assigned to the Rated Notes may be revised or withdrawn at any time.
