As previously notified to you on 28 May 2010 (the Part VII Effective Date) a transfer of the business of Alliance & Leicester plc (A&L) to Santander UK plc (Santander UK) under a bank business transfer scheme (the Part VII scheme) pursuant to Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 became effective on the Part VII Effective Date, whereupon Santander UK replaced A&L as Seller, Servicer, Beneficiary (of the Mortgages Trust), Cash Manager, Funding 1 Swap Provider, Funding 1 Start-up Loan Provider, Issuer Cash Manager, an Issuer Swap Provider (with respect to the €400,000,000 Class A2 Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due October 2054) and Secretarial Services Provider. 

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2010-2 Notes on 3 June 2010 and in connection with the Part VII Scheme, certain amendments have been made to the Mortgage Sale Agreement to entitle the Seller to give a notice requiring it to thereafter repurchase all Loans the subject of a Product Switch from that date forward until such notice is revoked (similar to the arrangements for the Seller to give a notice requiring it to thereafter repurchase all Loans the subject of a Further Advance from that date forward until such notice is revoked), a new irrevocable power of attorney (the Original Seller Power of Attorney) has been granted by A&L to Santander UK, the Mortgages Trustee, Funding 1, the Funding 1 Security Trustee, any Further Funding Company and any Further Funding Security Trustee (the transfer of which was excluded under the Part VII Scheme) to further facilitate the registration of the Northern Irish registered charges that remain registered in the name of A&L from the Part VII Effective Date at a subsequent time in the name of Santander UK or the Mortgages Trustee (as applicable) and consent has been obtained from the Funding 1 Security Trustee under the Servicing Agreement for Santander UK in its capacity as the Servicer to delegate the performance of certain of its servicing obligations under the Servicing Agreement to Geoban UK Limited (Geoban), a wholly owned subsidiary of Banco Santander. 

Further details regarding the above arrangement are contained in the supplement dated 26 May 2010 to the base prospectus dated 8 March 2010.

In addition, certain amendments have been made to the Funding 1 Swap Agreement in order to comply with recent changes to ratings criteria of the Rating Agencies.
