Additional Notes to the Investor Reports The Overcollateralisation test will be breached on any distribution date where the aggregate current balance of mortgage loans on such distribution date is less than an amount equal to the product of 1.05 and the principal amount outstanding of all notes of all issuers on such distribution date. The principal amount outstanding of such notes will be calculated on a straight line basis by applying the appropriate constant payment rate applicable to each series of notes on a monthly, rather than quarterly, basis. A non asset trigger event will occur if the current seller share is equal to or less the minimum seller share for two consecutive months. The one month cure period will now allow the seller to substitute new loans into the trust to meet the minimum seller requirement. The notes may be redeemed at the option of the issuer if on the payment date falling on or after July 2008, the New Basel Capital Accord has been implemented in the United Kingdom A arrears trigger event will occur if the outstanding principal balance of 90+ day arrears in the trust exceed 2%. In the event of an arrears trigger the Granite Mortgages 04-2 issuer reserve fund will step up to 1.415% and the Granite 04-3 issuer reserve fund will step up to 1.38%. This trigger event is curable. A issuer non call trigger event will occur if any of the issuers are not called on their step up and call dates. In the event of an issuer non call trigger the Granite Mortgages 04-2 issuer reserve fund target will step up by 0.275%, the Granite Mortgages 04-3 issuer reserve fund target by 0.27% and the funding reserve target will step up by 0.10%. A accelerated controlled amortisation trigger will occur if any of the issuers are not called on their step up and call dates. In the event of an accelerated controlled amortisation trigger all Granite Mortgages 04-2 & 04-3 tranches become pass through securities.
