Collateral Manager may possess information relating to issuers of, or Reference Obligors under, Collateral Debt<br />

Securities which is not known to the individuals at the Collateral Manager responsible for monitoring the<br />

Collateral Debt Securities and performing the other obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement.<br />

In addition, the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or clients of the Collateral Manager may invest in securities<br />

that are senior to, or have interests different from or adverse to, the obligations that secure the Notes. The<br />

Collateral Manager (and/or its Affiliates) may at certain times be simultaneously seeking to purchase or dispose<br />

of investments for its (or their) account(s), the Issuer, any similar entity for which it (or they) serves (or serve)<br />

as investment manager or adviser and for its (or their) clients, respectively. Further, certain Noteholders may be<br />

clients of the Collateral Manager or its (or their) Affiliates. The Collateral Manager may make investment<br />

decisions for its clients and Affiliates that may be different from those made by the Collateral Manager on<br />

behalf of the Issuer.<br />

The Collateral Manager had various funds or companies under management on the Issue Date. Trading<br />

between such other funds or companies under the management of the Collateral Manager and the Issuer is<br />

likely. The investment policies and procedures to be used by the Collateral Manager in managing the Collateral<br />

Debt Securities in the Portfolio on behalf of the Issuer may be different from the policies and procedures used<br />

by the Collateral Manager in managing other investments. Furthermore, in managing other investments, the<br />

Collateral Manager may purchase or dispose of securities in accordance with criteria other than those<br />

contemplated in this Prospectus and the Collateral Management Agreement. The nature of, and risks associated<br />

with, the investments and strategies undertaken on behalf of the Issuer may differ substantially from those<br />

investments and strategies undertaken historically and (with respect to other investments) in the future by the<br />

Collateral Manager.<br />

In addition, neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates is under any obligation to offer<br />

investment opportunities of which they become aware to the Issuer or to account to the Issuer (or share with the<br />

Issuer or inform the Issuer of) any such transaction or any benefit received by them from any such transaction.<br />

Furthermore, neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates has any affirmative obligation to offer any<br />

investments to the Issuer or to inform the Issuer of any investments before offering any investments to other<br />

funds or accounts that the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates manage or advise. Also, Affiliates of the<br />

Collateral Manager may make an investment on behalf of entities other than the Issuer. As a result, the<br />

Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may recommend or engage in activities that would compete with or<br />

otherwise adversely affect the Issuer. Neither is there any limitation or restriction on the Collateral Manager or<br />

any of its Affiliates from acting as investment manager (or in a similar role) to other parties or persons.<br />

It should be noted that an up-front fee was paid to the Collateral Manager on the Issue Date from the<br />

proceeds of issuance. The Issuer will be obliged to pay any Replacement Collateral Manager, the Base<br />

Collateral Management Fee and a Replacement Collateral Manager Subordinated Fee. As the up-front fee paid<br />

to the Collateral Manager is not repayable to the Issuer, the Issuer’s obligation to pay the Replacement<br />

Collateral Manager Subordinated Fee to any Replacement Collateral Manager may adversely affect the Issuer’s<br />

ability to repay the Class N Noteholders.<br />

Dependence on Key Personnel<br />

Because the composition of the Collateral Debt Securities will vary over time, the performance of the Issuer<br />

depends heavily on the skills of the Collateral Manager in analysing, selecting and managing the Collateral Debt<br />

Securities. As a result, the Issuer is highly dependent on the financial and managerial experience of certain<br />

individuals associated with the Collateral Manager. Employment arrangements between those individuals and<br />

the Collateral Manager may exist, but the Issuer is not a direct beneficiary of such arrangements, which<br />

arrangements are in any event subject to change without the consent of the Issuer. The loss of one or more of<br />

these individuals could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Issuer. However, this is<br />

mitigated in the Collateral Management Agreement where a requirement is imposed on the Collateral Manager<br />

to ensure certain key persons are employed by the Collateral Manager for the life of the deal and a failure to<br />

retain such key persons or their replacements could lead to removal of the Collateral Manager with “cause” as<br />

more particularly described under “Description of the Collateral Management Agreement”. Moreover, the<br />

Collateral Management Agreement may also be terminated under certain circumstances described herein under<br />

“Description of the Collateral Management Agreement”.<br />

Termination of Collateral Manager “without cause”<br />

If the Issuer removes the Collateral Manager “without cause” in accordance with the Collateral<br />

Management Agreement then the Issuer is liable to pay the Collateral Manager a Collateral Manager<br />
