Underlying Assets and Use of Proceeds The net proceeds of the issue of all the tranches shown were upto GBP 11,845,0000 when expenses of the issue of GBP5,000 are deducted from the proceeds of the issue. The proceeds of each tranche were transferred to the US Trust within thirty business days of the closing of the issue of each tranche. Each tranche closed seven days before the issue date of each tranche. The US Trust has informed the Fiduciary of the amount received. The Issuer has instructed the Provider to use the funds to purchase SLS which meet the eligibility criteria on the terms set out on page 26 of the Base Prospectus. The assets which will underlie the Bonds will be the cash which derives from the SLS which will be held in the Cash Entitlement Account, into which the proceeds of any maturing SLS will be transferred. The Provider will purchase the SLS within eight weeks of the receipt of funds from the Issuer upon the terms set out on page 27 of the Base Prospectus. The SLS so acquired must comply with the criteria set out on page 26 of the Base Prospectus. In order to monitor and maintain the sufficiency of the underlying assets within the pool of SLS acquired by the Provider on behalf of the Issuer, the Adviser will issue six monthly reports to the Bondholders confirming that the Issuer has the Required Asset Cover to meet its obligations to Bondholders at any given time. Further details of the method by which the level of assets are monitored and maintained are set out on pages 22 and 23 of the Base Prospectus. As each new series of bonds is issued, additional SLS will be purchased as security for such further bonds. However, the assets of the Issuer will all be pooled such that bonds in each series issued pursuant to the programme described in the Base Prospectus will all be serviced from a single pool of assets. The underlying assets will be available to Bondholders in the order in which the bonds mature, unless there is an Event of Default (as defined on page 42 of the Base Prospectus), in which case the underlying assets will be available to bondholders in the order in which each series was issued. Save for the semi-annual certificate of compliance to be issued to Bondholders pursuant to condition 17.4 of the terms and conditions of the Bonds contained in the Base Prospectus ( the Terms ), the Issuer does not intend to provide any post-issuance transaction information in relation to the Bonds. 7

SLS by their nature do not have (except in limited circumstances) specific maturity dates which depend on the death of the policyholders.
