DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES<br />

In addition to the disclosure under “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Circular, the following is a<br />

description of the conditions relating to the Notes. Such summary should be read in conjunction with the<br />

information appearing elsewhere in this Supplement and the Offering Circular.<br />

Remarketable Notes<br />

The Class A1 Notes issued by the Issuer will be subject to remarketing and conditional purchase provisions<br />

(the Remarketable Notes).<br />

Remarketable Notes will be issued subject to the mandatory transfer arrangements referred to in the<br />

additional Condition 9(j) set out in the Note Terms in Annex 2 below, the Remarketing Agreement entered<br />

into between the Issuer and the Remarketing Agent (the Remarketing Agreement) and the Series Trust<br />

Deed (the Mandatory Transfer). Under the terms of the Mandatory Transfer, the Issuer will procure the<br />

purchase of all the Remarketable Notes on each Distribution Date specified in the Note Terms in Annex 2 to<br />

this Supplement as a Transfer Date (subject to adjustment for non-business days) (each such date being a<br />

Transfer Date) subject to no Remarketing Termination Event (other than a Remarketing Agent Termination<br />

Event (each as defined below)) having occurred. If a Remarketing Termination Event (other than a<br />

Remarketing Agent Termination Event) occurs, the Issuer will not be obliged to procure the purchase by any<br />

subsequent purchasers of such Remarketable Notes and the Remarketing Agent will not be obliged to further<br />

remarket such Notes. Upon payment of the Principal Amount Outstanding on such Remarketable Notes on<br />

the relevant Transfer Date (following the application of Actual Redemption Funds on that date) (the Transfer<br />

Price), all rights in respect of such Remarketable Notes will be transferred from the Noteholders of the<br />

relevant Remarketable Notes to or for the account of the Remarketing Agent (as defined below) or as<br />

designated by the Remarketing Agent.<br />

Under the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, the Issuer will appoint The Royal Bank of Scotland plc as<br />

the remarketing agent (the Remarketing Agent) to act as its agent to use its best efforts to identify third<br />

party purchasers for the Remarketable Notes on each Transfer Date prior to the occurrence of a Remarketing<br />

Termination Event. If the Remarketing Agent is unable to obtain firm bids in respect of any outstanding<br />

Remarketable Notes from third party purchasers for all such Remarketable Notes then outstanding, then the<br />

Remarketing Agent on behalf of the Issuer shall give notice to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (the<br />

Conditional Note Purchaser) under an agreement (the Conditional Note Purchase Agreement) to<br />

purchase all such Remarketable Notes. The obligation of the Conditional Note Purchaser to purchase such<br />

Remarketable Notes is subject to certain termination events under the Conditional Note Purchase Agreement<br />

(see “Transaction Documents – Conditional Note Purchase Agreement” below) and the transfer of the<br />

Remarketable Notes to the Conditional Note Purchaser will be dependent upon the ability of the Conditional<br />

Note Purchaser to pay the Transfer Price (see “Risk Factors – Risks related to Remarketable Notes” above).<br />

If a Remarketing Agent Termination Event occurs and a suitable replacement Remarketing Agent is not<br />

appointed on or before (twenty) 20 Business Days prior to a Transfer Date, or if a Series Event of Default<br />

has occurred and is continuing as at the first day of the Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent will<br />

serve a notice on the Conditional Note Purchaser requiring it to purchase all of the outstanding Remarketable<br />

Notes on the next following Transfer Date at the Transfer Price. The Conditional Note Purchaser will not be<br />

required to purchase the Remarketable Notes if a Series Event of Default has occurred and is continuing<br />

three Business Days prior to the relevant Transfer Date or any subsequent date thereafter. Any amounts paid<br />

to the Remarketing Agent by any third party or the Conditional Note Purchaser for the Remarketable Notes<br />

as part of the Mandatory Transfer will be held by the Remarketing Agent as client funds for the relevant<br />

purchaser.<br />
