canna be mortgage free

Options
OK, I have a 90k+ mortgage at a fixed rate 0f 4.99% for the next 16 months. I have been lucky enought to have a windfall of £45000, what is the best option, pay off but incur a penalty, pay £500 a month in allowed overpayments, or put as much as I can into an ISA or the like until the end of the fixed rate term?
