In its capacity as Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates may engage in other<br />

businesses and furnish investment management services to Related Entities whose investment policies differ<br />

from those followed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer as required by the Collateral Management<br />

Agreement. In such capacity, the Collateral Manager may effect transactions which differ from those effected<br />

with respect to the Collateral for the Notes. In addition, the Collateral Manager may, from time to time, cause<br />

or direct Related Entities to buy or sell or may recommend to Related Entities the buying and selling of debt<br />

obligations of the same or of a different kind or class of the same obligor, as Collateral Debt Securities or other<br />

obligations which are part of the Portfolio which the Collateral Manager purchases or sells on behalf of the<br />

Issuer. Accordingly, conflicts may arise regarding the allocation of investment opportunities amongst the Issuer<br />

and the Related Entities. Situations may occur where the Issuer could be disadvantaged because of the<br />

investment activities conducted by the Collateral Manager for the Related Entities. It should be noted that the<br />

Collateral Management Agreement places significant restrictions on the Collateral Manager’s ability to buy and<br />

sell obligations comprising the Portfolio on which the Notes are secured and, accordingly, during certain periods<br />

or in certain specified circumstances, the Collateral Manager may be unable to buy or sell obligations which<br />

either form or are intended to form part of the Portfolio or to take other actions which it might consider to be in<br />

the best interests of the Issuer and the Noteholders.<br />

Although the principals and employees of the Collateral Manager will devote as much time to the Issuer as<br />

the Collateral Manager deems appropriate, such principals and employees may have conflicts in allocating their<br />

time and services among the Issuer and the Collateral Manager’s other accounts and businesses.<br />

The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may, in the conduct of their respective businesses, receive or<br />

become aware of price sensitive information which is not generally available to the public that may restrict the<br />

Collateral Manager from purchasing or selling securities for itself or its clients (including the Issuer) or<br />

otherwise using such information for the benefit of its clients or itself. The Collateral Management Agreement<br />

contains provisions which absolve the Collateral Manager from any responsibility for its failure to act in relation<br />

to the administration of the Portfolio in circumstances where it or any of its Affiliates are in receipt of price<br />

sensitive information and where in the opinion of the Collateral Manager investment by the Collateral Manager<br />

on behalf of the Issuer might breach the provisions of insider dealing legislation or laws to which it or the Issuer<br />

are subject.<br />

The Collateral Manager may in the future serve as a manager of other Related Entities organised to issue<br />

collateralised debt obligations or collateralised loan obligations secured by high yield debt securities, loans<br />

and/or other obligations or securities.<br />

On the Issue Date, Investec and/or one or more of its Affiliates acquired 25 per cent. of the principal<br />

amount of the Class N Notes Outstanding. Investec and/or any fund, partnership, trust, company or any entity<br />

with respect to which it acts as investment manager will not acquire or hold at any time, directly or indirectly,<br />

more than 25 per cent. of the principal amount outstanding of the Class N Notes. It is the intention of Investec<br />

either to hold, directly or indirectly, or to have a fund, partnership, trust, company or other entity with respect to<br />

which it acts as investment manager hold, a minimum average of 19.5 per cent. of the principal amount<br />

outstanding of the Class N Notes in any five year period until maturity or earlier redemption, so long as Investec<br />

is the Collateral Manager.<br />

The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may also from time to time purchase obligations from<br />

itself, its Affiliates or Related Entities or sell obligations to itself, its Affiliates or its Related Entities. It may not<br />

always be possible for the Collateral Manager to obtain the current market price for such obligations because<br />

market quotations for particular obligations may not be generally available. In such circumstances, the<br />

Collateral Manager is entitled to determine the price of such obligations in its discretion, provided that it does so<br />

in good faith.<br />

The Issuer will deal with the Collateral Manager and Affiliates of the Collateral Manager on an arm’s<br />

length basis and anticipates that the commissions, mark-ups and mark-downs charged by the Collateral Manager<br />

or its Affiliates or Related Entities will generally be competitive, although the Collateral Manager and its<br />

Affiliates or Related Entities may have interests in such transactions that are adverse to those of the Issuer, such<br />

as an interest in obtaining favourable commission rates, mark-ups and mark-downs.<br />

The Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and their respective clients may invest in securities which satisfy the<br />

Eligibility Criteria for Collateral Debt Securities. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may also have<br />

ongoing relationships with companies whose securities or obligations secure the Notes and may own debt<br />

securities issued by issuers of Collateral Debt Securities. As a result thereof, officers of Affiliates of the<br />
