enforceable and shall not be liable to the Note Trustee, the
Current Issuer or any other Current Issuer Secured Creditor for
making payments based on this assumption.
(c) The Note Trustee hereby authorises the Current Issuer Cash
Manager, prior to the security becoming enforceable pursuant to

the Note Trustee (whether for itself or on behalf of the Current
Issuer Secured Creditors) from or by the Current Issuer under
this Current Issuer Deed of Charge or any other Current Issuer
Transaction Document shall be payable by the Current Issuer
except to the extent that the Current Issuer or (following
enforcement of the Current Issuer Security) the Note Trustee has
sufficient funds available to it (and, in the case of the Note
Trustee, as a result of the realisation of that security) to pay
such sum subject to and in accordance with the relevant Current
Issuer Priority of Payments and provided that all liabilities of
the Current Issuer required to be paid in priority thereto or
pari passu therewith pursuant to such Current Issuer Priority of
Payments have been paid, discharged and/or otherwise provided
for in full PROVIDED THAT this paragraph (b) shall not apply to

Documents against the Current Issuer and it shall not take any
steps or legal proceedings for the winding-up, dissolution or
reorganisation of, or the institution of insolvency proceedings
against, the Current Issuer or for the appointment of a
receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, liquidator or
similar officer of the Current Issuer in respect of any or all
of its revenues and assets,
PROVIDED THAT

within 30 days of becoming so bound and such failure is
continuing, each such other Current Issuer Secured
Creditor shall be entitled to take such steps and
proceedings to enforce its rights arising out of the
relevant Current Issuer Transaction Document as it shall
deem necessary other than the presentation of a
13
petition or making an application for the winding up,
dissolution or reorganisation of, or the institution of
insolvency proceedings against, the Current Issuer or the
appointment of an administrator or liquidator of the
Current Issuer.
6.7 Acknowledgement of Note Trustee: The Note Trustee hereby acknowledges
and agrees that save with respect to the obligations of the Current
Issuer to the Noteholders under the Current Issuer Notes and this
Current Issuer Deed of Charge which are not limited under paragraph (b)

from the Current Issuer Security to pay such sum subject to and in
accordance with the relevant Current Issuer Priority of Payments and
provided that all liabilities of the Current Issuer required to be paid
in priority thereto or pari passu therewith pursuant to such Current

7.1 Notification: The Note Trustee shall, if practicable, give prior
notification to the Seller, Funding, the Cash Manager and the Current
Issuer Cash Manager of the Note Trustee's intention to enforce the

any way prejudice the ability of the Note Trustee to enforce the
security created by this Current Issuer Deed of Charge.
7.2 Enforceable:
(a) Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 9 (Receiver) the
security created under this Current Issuer Deed of Charge shall

(Enforcement) and Clause 10 (Proceedings, Action and
Indemnification) of the Current Issuer Trust Deed which
shall, as necessary, be incorporated in and apply,
mutatis mutandis, to this Current Issuer Deed of Charge
(and for that purpose references therein to "this Trust
Deed" or "these presents" shall be construed as
references to this Current Issuer Deed of Charge); or
(ii) if there are no Current Issuer Notes outstanding,
following a default in payment of any other Current

14
stated in the relevant Current Issuer Transaction

the Current Issuer in accordance with the Jersey Security Law

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Current Issuer Deed
of Charge, the Current Issuer Secured Obligations shall be
deemed to have become due and payable for the purposes of
Section 101 of the 1925 Act and Article 8 of the Jersey Security
Law and (to the extent applicable) the statutory power of sale

conferred on mortgagees under the 1925 Act as varied or extended
by this Current Issuer Deed of Charge shall be deemed to arise
immediately after execution of this Current Issuer Deed of
Charge.
(b) Section 103 of the 1925 Act shall not apply to this Current
Issuer Deed of Charge and forthwith after the security has
become enforceable in accordance with Clause 7.2 (Enforceable)

8.3 Current Issuer Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments: At any time after
the security created by this Current Issuer Deed of Charge has become

enable or facilitate the Note Trustee and/or any Receiver to
perform its functions hereunder or under any of the Current

Note Trustee or a Receiver may, for so long as no such amounts or not
all such amounts have become due and payable or any of the Current
Issuer Secured Obligations are at such time contingent or future, pay
any monies referred to in Clause 8.3 (Current Issuer Post-Enforcement
Priority of Payments), as the case may be, into, and retain such monies
in, an interest-bearing account (a "retention account") to be held by it
as security and applied by it in accordance with Clause 8.3 (Current
Issuer Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments) as and when any of the
amounts referred to therein become due and payable.

that all Current Issuer Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full:
(a) (provided such Current Issuer Secured Creditor has received a
copy of, or other notice of the service on the Current Issuer

Payments);
(b) save as otherwise expressly provided in this Current Issuer Deed

its powers or in order to obtain payment of its remuneration or
reimbursement of its expenses (in each case, whether or not
already due), borrow or raise money from any person, without
security or on the security of the Current Issuer Charged
Property (either in priority to the security constituted by this
Current Issuer
20
Deed of Charge or otherwise) and generally in such manner and on
such terms as it may think fit;

of Payments); and
(r) exercise any other powers, rights and/or remedies that may be
available at law or in equity including the powers referred to
in Section 1 of the Insolvency ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

service of a notice of intention to appoint an administrator or
the filing of documents with the court for the appointment of an
administrator in relation to the Current Issuer or other order
having substantially the same effect to be made on application
by a creditor or creditors of the Current Issuer, the Note
Trustee shall, subject to it being indemnified to its
satisfaction, as soon as practicable appoint a Receiver in
accordance with this Current Issuer Deed of Charge (who shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be an "administrative receiver"
under Section 29 (2) of the Insolvency Act 1986) of the whole of
the Current Issuer Charged Property and, in the case of any
application to the court or petition the Note Trustee shall
instruct the Receiver to attend at the hearing of the
application or petition and take such steps as are necessary to
prevent the appointment of an administrator. The Current Issuer
Secured Creditors shall co-operate and do all acts and enter
into such further documents, deeds or agreements as the Note
Trustee may deem necessary or desirable to ensure that an
administration order is not made and that an administrative
receiver is appointed.

act or thing which the Note Trustee or any Receiver may specify
(including executing such Security Interests over its rights in

assets of the Current Issuer in such form as the Note Trustee
and/or any Receiver may require) with a view to:
22
(i) registering, perfecting, protecting or improving any
charge or security or Security Interest (including any
Jersey Security Interest) created or intended to be
created by or pursuant to this Current Issuer Deed of
Charge (including any act or document which may be
required or desirable under the laws of any jurisdiction
in which any property or assets may be located in order
to confer on the Note Trustee security over such property

(b) all payments made by the Current Issuer to the Note Trustee
after the Note Trustee receives such notice shall be credited or

administration or any analogous proceedings shall be commenced by or
against the Current Issuer, as the case may be, the Note Trustee shall

deemed to continue to have been held as security for the payment and
discharge to the Note Trustee of all Current Issuer Secured
Obligations.
