the Emerald Mortgages No. 3 securitisation transaction (the "Transaction")

Date : 15 January 2008

The Issuer has received notice from EBS that EBS intends to refinance the EBS
Loan Notes in accordance with the transaction documents. Such notice is
irrevocable and binding. The refinancing will occur on the Interest Payment
Date in April 2008 on which date the EBS Loan Notes will be repaid in full.

The Issuer, as EBS Loan Notes Holder, may pursuant to Condition 5(d)(iv) of the
Bonds, give not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' written notice to the Bond
Trustee and the Bondholders of its intention to exercise its option to repay the
Bonds.

Any notice served in accordance with Condition 5(d)(iv) of the Bonds shall be
irrevocable and upon the expiration of such notice, the Issuer shall be bound to
redeem the Bonds at the amounts specified in the Condition of the Bonds.

The Issuer intends to make a decision within the next 30 days as to whether it
will redeem the Bonds. The Issuer will notify the Bondholders of any decision
to redeem the Bonds in accordance with Condition 5(d)(iv) of the Bonds.

Even if the Issuer decides not to redeem the Bonds, the Issuer will be obliged
to distribute any principal repayments received on the EBS Loan Notes as
principal under the Bonds, in accordance with the priority of payments set out
in the Issuer Deed of Charge and the Conditions of the Bonds. The distribution
is likely to reduce the principal amount of the Bonds to zero in any event.

Terms defined in the offering circular dated 16th April 2003 relating to the
