CREDIT STRUCTURE<br />

The <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>s will be direct, unsecured, unconditional obligations of the Issuer. The Guarantor has no<br />

obligation to pay the Guaranteed Amounts under the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> Guarantee until the occurrence of an Issuer<br />

Event of Default, service by the Representative of the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>holders of an Issuer Default Notice on the<br />

Issuer and on the Guarantor or, if earlier, following the occurrence of a Guarantor Event of an Issuer Default<br />

Notice, service by the Representative of the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>holders of a Guarantor Default Notice on the<br />

Guarantor.<br />

There are a number of features of the <strong>Programme</strong> which enhance the likelihood of timely and, as applicable,<br />

ultimate payments to <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>holders, as follows:<br />

• the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> Guarantee provides credit support;<br />

• the Statutory Tests are periodically performed with the intention of ensuring that the Cover Pool is at all<br />

times sufficient to repay the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>s;<br />

• the Amortisation Test is periodically performed, following the occurrence of an Issuer Event of Default<br />

and service of an Issuer Default Notice on the Issuer and the Guarantor, for the purpose of testing the<br />

asset coverage of the Guarantor's assets in respect of the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>s; and<br />

• a Reserve Fund Account will be established which will build up over time using excess cash flow from<br />

Interest Available Funds and Principal Available Funds, in order to ensure that the Guarantor will have<br />

sufficient funds set aside to fulfil its obligation to pay interest accruing with respect to the <strong>Covered</strong><br />

<strong>Bond</strong>s.<br />

Certain of these factors are considered more fully in the remainder of this section.<br />

Guarantee<br />

The <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> Guarantee provided by the Guarantor guarantees payment of Guaranteed Amounts when they<br />

become due for payment in respect of all <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>s issued under the <strong>Programme</strong>.<br />

See "Summary of the Transaction Documents — <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> Guarantee" above, as regards the terms of the<br />

<strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong> Guarantee. See "Cashflows — Guarantee Priority of Payments" further, as regards the payment of<br />

amounts payable by the Guarantor to <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>holders and the Other Issuer Creditors following the<br />

occurrence of an Issuer Event of Default.<br />

Under the terms of the Cover Pool Management Agreement, each Relevant Seller (and failing which, the Issuer,<br />

failing which, the other Seller(s)) must ensure that, on each Calculation Date prior to service of an Issuer Default<br />

Notice, the Cover Pool is in compliance with the Tests described below. If on any Calculation Date the Cover<br />

Pool is not in compliance with the Tests, then the Sellers (and failing which, the Issuer, failing which, the other<br />

Seller(s)) will sell Eligible Assets or Top-Up Assets to the Guarantor for an amount sufficient to allow the Tests<br />

to be met on the next following Calculation Date, in accordance with the relevant Master Loans Purchase<br />

Agreements and the Cover Pool Management Agreement, to be financed through the proceeds of Term Loans to<br />

be granted by the Relevant Seller(s), and/or the Issuer and/or the other Seller(s) (each only in respect of the<br />

Eligible Assets and/or Top-Up Assets transferred by it — see "The Cover Pool Management Agreement".<br />

Statutory Tests<br />

The Statutory Tests are intended to ensure that the Guarantor can meet its obligations under the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong><br />

Guarantee. In order to ensure that the statutory tests provided for under Article 3 of Decree 310 (the "Statutory<br />

Tests") are satisfied and that the Cover Pool is at all times sufficient to repay the <strong>Covered</strong> <strong>Bond</strong>s, each Seller<br />

(and failing the Seller to do so, the Issuer) must ensure that the three tests set out below are satisfied on each<br />

Calculation Date.<br />

Nominal Value Test<br />

The Calculation Agent shall verify that on each Calculation Date, the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance<br />

of the Cover Pool shall be higher than or equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of <strong>Covered</strong><br />

<strong>Bond</strong>s issued under the <strong>Programme</strong> and not cancelled or redeemed in full in accordance with their Final Terms at<br />

the relevant Calculation Date.<br />
