Approval and Listing The Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the "Central Bank"), as competent authority under Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC. The Central Bank only approves this Prospectus as meeting the requirements imposed under Irish and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC. Such approval relates only to the Notes which are to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange or other regulated markets for the purpose of Directive 2004/39/EC or which are to be offered to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area. The Issuer is not and will not be regulated by the Central Bank as a result of issuing the Notes. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List and trading on its regulated market. Interest The Notes will bear interest from the Closing Date until the First Optional Redemption Date at the rate of EURIBOR for three month euro deposits (except in respect the first Notes Payment Date, falling in March 2012, in which the EURIBOR rate will be referenced to the linear interpolation of three and four months EURIBOR) plus a margin per annum, which is in respect of the Class A1 Notes 1.05%, Class A2 Notes 1.50%, Class B Notes 0% and Class C Notes 0%. After the First Optional Redemption Date the respective margins shall be in respect of the Class A1 Notes 2.10%, Class A2 Notes 3.00%, Class B Notes 0% and Class C Notes 0%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears commencing on the Notes Payment Date falling in March 2012 . There will be a long first coupon. Redemption Unless previously redeemed or cancelled, the Notes will be redeemed at their Notional Principal Amount Outstanding on their respective Notes Final Maturity Date. On any Notes Payment Date on which there are Available Redemption Funds, the Notes will be subject to (partial) redemption, as set out in and subject to the Conditions. On the Notes Payment Date falling in September 2016 and each Notes Payment Date thereafter (each being an Optional Redemption Date) the Issuer will have the option to redeem the Notes then outstanding in whole but not in part at their Notional Principal Amount Outstanding. In addition, the Issuer has the option to redeem the Notes in each class in whole but not in part by exercising the Tax Call, and must redeem the Notes if the Originator exercises the Clean-up Call. Security The Notes have the benefit, indirectly through the Parallel Debt owed to the Trustee, of a pledge of the Transferred Receivables and certain of the assets of the Issuer in favour of the Trustee. The right to receive payment of interest and principal on the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will be subordinated and may be limited as further described herein. Ratings It is a condition precedent to issuance that, on issue, the Class A Notes be assigned a rating of AAAsf by Fitch and a rating of Aaa(sf) by Moody's. The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will not be rated. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time. Risk Factors Investing in the Notes involves certain risks. The principal risk factors that may affect the abilities of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under the Notes are discussed in section A (Risk Factors) of this Prospectus. Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive The Originator has in the Subscription Agreement undertaken to each of the Joint Lead Managers and each of the Joint Arrangers that the Originator will at all times comply with the requirements of Article 122a of directive 2006/48/EC (as amended by directive 2009/111/EC, and as amended, supplemented or superseded, from the time to time, including, any statements of interpretation, practice or guidelines issued by the Committee of European Banking Supervision (or any successor body), in respect of the same) (the "Capital Requirements Directive"). The Originator has specifically undertaken that it will at all times retain a material net economic interest of not less than five per cent. in the securitisation transaction described in this Prospectus (the "Securitisation") in accordance with the requirements of the Capital Requirements Directive. As at the Closing Date, such material net economic interest - ii - will be held in accordance with Article 122a paragraph (1) sub-paragraph (d) of the Capital Requirements Directive and will comprise of the entire interest in the first loss tranche of the Securitisation (held through the Class C Notes and the Class B Notes). The Originator has further undertaken that any intended or actual change in, or the manner in which, its interest in the first loss tranche is held will be made in accordance with Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive and will be notified by the Originator to the Issuer. In addition to the information set out herein and forming part of this Prospectus, the Originator has undertaken to each of the Joint Lead Managers and each of the Joint Arrangers to make available to Noteholders all materially relevant data required to ensure that the Originator complies with the requirements of Article 122a paragraph (7) of the Capital Requirements Directive upon request. The Originator has in the Receivables Purchase Agreement provided the same undertakings described in the previous two paragraphs to each of the Issuer and the Trustee (on behalf of itself and the Noteholders), respectively, so long as the Notes are outstanding. After the Closing Date, the Issuer will prepare quarterly investor reports wherein relevant information with regard to the Loans and Transferred Receivables will be disclosed publicly together with a confirmation by the Originator of its compliance with the requirements of Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Direction, including, confirmation of the retention of the material net economic interest in the Securitisation by the Originator. If the Issuer receives a notification from the Originator of any intended or actual change in (the manner in which) the Originator‟s interest in the first loss tranche is held, then the Issuer will inform the Noteholders thereof as soon as is reasonably practicable. Each prospective investor is required independently to assess and determine the sufficiency of the information described above for the purposes of complying with Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive and none of the Issuer, the Originator nor any of the Joint Arrangers nor any of the Joint Lead Managers makes any representation that the information described above or in this Prospectus is sufficient in all circumstances for such purposes. The Originator accepts responsibility for the information set out in this paragraph entitled 'Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive'. In addition, each prospective investor should ensure that they comply with the implementing provisions in respect of Article 122a of the Capital Requirements Directive in their relevant jurisdiction. Investors who are uncertain as to the requirements which apply to them in respect of their relevant jurisdiction, should seek guidance from their regulator. Eurosystem Eligibility The Class A Notes are intended to be held in a manner which will allow Eurosystem eligibility. This means that the Class A Notes are intended upon issue to be deposited with Euroclear Netherlands as one of the Central Securities Depositories (the "CSDs") that fulfils the minimum standard established by the European Central Bank, as common safekeeper and does not necessarily mean that the Class A Notes will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria. The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes are not intended to be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intraday credit operations by the Eurosystem. Subscription An affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. ("J.P. Morgan") intends to purchase EUR 320,000,000 of the Class A1 Notes and EUR 960,000,000 of the Class A2 Notes on the Closing Date and in that respect may exercise voting rights in respect of the Class A1 Notes and the Class A2 Notes that may be prejudicial to other Noteholders. J.P. Morgan will also be a Joint Arranger and a Joint Lead Manager in respect of the Class A Notes. J.P Morgan, in its capacity as Joint Lead Manager, will on the Closing Date agree to subscribe for all the Class A Notes and ING (in its capacity as Joint Lead Manager) will on the Closing Date subscribe for all of the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes (the "Retained Notes").

Selling Restriction Summary None of the Issuer, the Originator, Joint Arrangers or the Joint Lead Managers represents that this Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Issuer, the Originator, the Joint Arrangers or the Joint Lead Managers which would permit a public offering of the Notes or distribution of this document in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or published, in any jurisdiction where such offer, sale, distribution and/or publication would be prohibited. The distribution of this Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Notes come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on the distribution of this Prospectus and the offering and sale of Notes. In particular, there are selling restrictions in relation to the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area and such other restrictions as may apply. See section 1.4 (Subscription and Sale) of this Prospectus. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act and are subject to United States tax law requirements. The Notes are being offered outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S, and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States. Suitability of Investment Structured securities, such as the Notes, are sophisticated instruments, can involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to those investors capable of understanding the risk entailed in such instruments. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk and that they understand the nature of the Notes as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should conduct their own investigations and, in deciding whether or not to purchase Notes, should form their own views of the merits of an investment related to the Notes based upon such investigations - v - and not in reliance upon any information given in this Prospectus. If in doubt potential investors are strongly recommended to consult with their independent financial advisers before making any investment decision. Tax Summary All payments of interest and principal in respect of the Notes shall be made free of Tax unless the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (as the case may be) are required by law to make any Tax Deduction. In that event, the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (as the case may be) shall make such payments after such Tax Deduction and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so deducted . This Prospectus includes general summaries of the Dutch Tax considerations relating to an investment in the Notes. See section 1.3 (Taxation in The Netherlands) of this Prospectus. Such summaries may not apply to a particular holder of any Notes. Any potential investor should consult its own tax adviser for more information about the Tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of Notes in its particular circumstances. Interpretation Unless otherwise indicated in this Prospectus or the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this Prospectus have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Definitions Schedule set out in Schedule 1 (Master Definitions Schedule) which has been reproduced from the Incorporated Terms Memorandum. The principles of interpretation and construction set out in clause 2 (Principles of Interpretation and Construction) of Schedule 1 (Master Definitions Schedule) to this Prospectus shall apply to this Prospectus. Stabilisation In connection with the issue of the Notes, ING Bank N.V. (in its capacity as stabilising manager, the "Stabilising Manager") (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) will undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilising Manager (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. - vi - CONTENTS Page A.

PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION .................................................. 162 A. RISK FACTORS The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes. Most of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Notes are also described below. The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in Notes, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with any Notes may occur for other reasons and the Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the risks of holding any Notes are exhaustive. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. Before making an investment decision with respect to any Notes, prospective investors should consult their own stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer, accountant or other financial, legal and tax advisers and carefully review the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and consider such an investment decision in the light of the prospective investor's personal circumstances. The subsequent numbers and capital headings used in the below text, correspond to the numbers and headings of the subsequent chapters as contained in this Prospectus after this section, where additional and more detailed information on the same heading can be found. A.1 NOTES Each prospective investor in the Notes must determine, based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, that its acquisition of the Notes (i) is fully consistent with its (or if it is acquiring the Notes in a fiduciary capacity, the beneficiary's) financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) complies and is fully consistent with any investment policies, guidelines and restrictions applicable to it (whether acquiring the Notes as principal or in a fiduciary capacity) and (iii) is a fit, proper and suitable investment for it (or, if it is acquiring the Notes in a fiduciary capacity, for the beneficiary). In particular, investment activities of certain investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each prospective investor should therefore consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) the Notes are legal investments for it, (ii) the Notes can be used as underlying securities for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors Each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should: (i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable supplement; (ii) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its overall investment portfolio; (iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes, including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency; (iv) understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices, securities, assets and/or financial markets; and (v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks. - 1 - The Notes are complex financial instruments. A potential investor should not invest in the Notes unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio. Subordination The Class B Notes and the Class C are subordinated in right of payment of interest and principal to the Class A Notes, both before as well as after an Issuer Default. There is no assurance that these subordination rules will protect the holder of Class A Notes from any or all risk of loss. The Class C Notes are subordinated in right of payment of interest and principal to the Class B Notes, both before as well as after an Issuer Default. There is no assurance that these subordination rules will protect the holder of Class B Notes from any or all risk of loss. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Notes will rank in seniority and security and as to payment of interest and principal, behind the obligations of the Issuer in respect of certain items set out in the relevant Priority of Payments. In addition, payments on the Class A Notes will be made in priority to payments on the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, payments on the Class B Notes will be made in priority to payments on the Class C Notes. Although payments in respect of the Class A Notes pursuant to Condition 9.2 (Mandatory Redemption in part) will in certain circumstances be made in order of priority of sub-class A1 and then A2, the Class A2 Notes do not purport to provide credit enhancement to the Class A1 Notes. If, on any date, the Security is to be enforced and the proceeds of the enforcement would be insufficient to fully redeem the Class A Notes in full, such loss will be borne, pro rata and pari passu, by the holders of the Class A Notes. If the Class A1 Notes have been redeemed (in part or in full) at such time, this will result in the Class A2 Notes bearing a greater proportion of the loss than that borne by the Class A1 Notes. Obligations under the Notes The Notes will be solely the obligations of the Issuer. The Notes will not represent an obligation or be the responsibility of the Originator, the Joint Arrangers, the Joint Lead Managers, the Swap Counterparty, the Trustee or any other party to the Transaction Documents, their officers, members, directors, employees, security holders or incorporators, other than the Issuer. The Issuer will be liable solely in its corporate capacity for its obligations in respect of the Notes and such obligations will not be the obligations of its officers, members, directors, employees, security holders or incorporators. None of the Originator, the Joint Arrangers, the Joint Lead Managers, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Directors, the Swap Counterparty or the Trustee will be under any obligation whatsoever to provide additional funds to the Issuer (save in the limited circumstances pursuant to the Transaction Documents, such as the payments due under the Swap Agreement by the Swap Counterparty). Limited liquidity of the Notes and prevailing economic conditions Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List and trading on its regulated market. However, the Notes will be new securities for which there is no established trading market. There can be no assurance that a secondary market for the Notes will develop, or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will provide the holders of the Notes with liquidity or that it will continue for the life of the Notes. A decrease in the liquidity of the Notes may cause, in turn, an increase in the volatility associated with the price of the Notes. Any investor in the Notes must be prepared to hold the Notes for an indefinite period of time or until redemption of the Notes. If any person begins making a market for the Notes, it is under no obligation to continue to do so and may stop making a market at any time. Illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market value of Notes. In addition, Noteholders should be aware of the prevailing and widely reported global credit market conditions (which continue at the date hereof), whereby there is a general lack of liquidity in the secondary market for instruments similar to the Notes. The Issuer cannot predict whether or when these circumstances will change or whether conditions of general market illiquidity for the Notes and instruments similar to the Notes will return in the future. Noteholders should also be aware that the recent sovereign debt crisis in Europe may result in changes to the composition of the European Monetary Union and this may have an impact on the liquidity and the market value of the Notes. - 2 -
