At the date of its incorporation, Oakwood Homeloans Limited was established as the regulated<br />

received confirmation of full member status in October 2005.<br />

Oakwood Global Finance LP is a holding company that was established by Michael Culhane and The<br />

Redstone Companies, an asset management company based in Houston, Texas in 2002. Oakwood<br />

facilitate the prompt collection of all monies due under the mortgage loans and to supervise the efficient<br />

recovery of delinquent assets. In addition, Oakwood Homeloans Limited will retain responsibility for<br />

all credit decisions arising from the ongoing administration of the portfolio. However, the day to day<br />

by Oakwood Group LLP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oakwood Global Finance LP. In addition,<br />

Limited's duties and responsibilities as Special Servicer.
