Payments. The actual lives of the MERCs cannot be predicted, however, as the actual rate of<br />
prepayment of the Mortgage Loans is unknown. The rating of S&P on the MERCs addresses the<br />
likelihood of receipt by MERC Holders of Mortgage Early Repayment Charges actually received by the<br />
Issuer if enforceable. The ratings of Fitch and Moody's of the MERCs address the likelihood of receipt<br />
by MERCs Holders of MERC Holder Payments assuming, without any independent investigation that<br />
(i) payment of the Mortgage Early Repayment Charge corresponding to the applicable MERC Holder<br />
Payments is legal, valid and binding and enforceable against the Borrowers and (ii) such Mortgage<br />
Early Repayment Charge is actually collected from Borrowers, received by the Issuer, and not refunded<br />
to the Borrower by the Seller.<br />
Whilst MERCs will have voting rights amongst themselves, the MERCs will carry no voting rights in<br />
respect of the Notes, save that MERCs will have Instrumentholder Entrenched Rights. See MERC<br />
Condition 10.<br />
As all Mortgage Loans in the Preliminary Completion Mortgage Pool were completed by 23 January<br />
<strong>2007</strong>, few Mortgage Early Repayment Charges in respect of the Completion Mortgage Pool are<br />
expected to arise after 1 February 2010. See "The Mortgage Pool – Mortgage Early Repayment<br />
Charges".<br />
A wide range of factors will affect the Mortgage Early Repayment Charges received by the Issuer<br />
including the date of origination of each Mortgage Loan comprised in the Completion Mortgage Pool,<br />
the rate at which Borrowers voluntarily redeem Mortgage Loans, the number of Mortgage Loans which<br />
are subject to enforcement proceedings, the number of redemptions that arise as a consequence of the<br />
death of Borrowers and regulatory changes that prescribe the amount of redemption compensation a<br />
lender may charge.<br />
Risks Related to the Mortgage Loans<br />
Warranties and Limitation of Seller's Liability<br />
Neither the Arranger, the Managers, the Issuer nor the Trustee have undertaken or will undertake any<br />
investigations, searches or other actions in respect of the Mortgage Loans and their Related Security<br />
and will rely instead on, inter alia, the benefit of the warranties given by the Seller to the Issuer in the<br />
Mortgage Sale Agreement (the "Warranties"). The sole remedy provided for in the Mortgage Sale<br />
Agreement (subject to the relevant cure period as set out in the Mortgage Sale Agreement and save as<br />
described below) of each of the Issuer and the Trustee in respect of a breach of Warranty in relation to<br />
a Mortgage Loan shall be the requirement that the Seller repurchase any Mortgage Loan which is the<br />
subject of the breach, provided that this shall not limit any other remedies available to the Issuer and/or<br />
Trustee if the Seller fails to repurchase a Mortgage Loan when obliged to do so.<br />
There can be no assurance that the Seller will have the financial resources to honour such obligations<br />
under the Mortgage Sale Agreement. Such obligations are not guaranteed by nor will they be the<br />
responsibility of any person other than the Seller and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have<br />
recourse to any other person in the event that the Seller, for whatever reason, fails to meet such<br />
obligations. See "Sale of the Mortgage Pool – Warranties and Breach of Warranties".<br />
The Mortgage Sale Agreement contains various restrictions and limits (including financial/monetary<br />
limits and time caps) on the Seller's liability and, in connection with its obligation to repurchase the<br />
Mortgage Loans, provide that the Issuer shall have no claim or remedy in respect of any breaches of<br />
the Warranties where such restrictions or limits apply. Accordingly, the Issuer may suffer loss in<br />
respect of matters referred to in the Warranties. Further, the Issuer may not have any direct rights<br />
(under general or contract law) against any solicitors or valuers who, when acting for the Originator in
