RISK FACTORS<br />
An investment in the Notes of any Class involves certain risks, including risks relating to the Collateral<br />
securing such Notes and risks relating to the structure and rights of such Notes and the related<br />
arrangements. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors ("Risk Factors", in<br />
addition to the matters set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, prior to investing in any Notes. Terms not<br />
defined in this section and not otherwise defined above have the meanings set out in Condition 1<br />
(Definitions) of the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes".<br />
1. General<br />
1.1 General<br />
It is intended that the Issuer will invest in Collateral Debt Obligations with certain risk characteristics as<br />
described below and subject to the investment policies, restrictions and guidelines described in "The<br />
Portfolio" below. There can be no assurance that the Issuer’s investments will be successful, that its<br />
investment objectives will be achieved, that the Noteholders will receive the full amounts payable by the<br />
Issuer under the Notes or that they will receive any return on their investment in the Notes. Prospective<br />
investors are therefore advised to review this entire Prospectus carefully and should consider, among<br />
other things, the risk factors set out in this section before deciding whether to invest in the Notes.<br />
Except as is otherwise stated below, such risk factors are generally applicable to all Classes of Notes,<br />
although the degree of risk associated with each Class of Notes will vary according to its position in<br />
terms of priority in the Priorities of Payment. See Condition 3(c) (Pre-Enforcement Priority of<br />
Payments). In particular, payments in respect of the Class A Notes are generally higher in the Priorities<br />
of Payment than those in respect of the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class<br />
E Notes and the Class F Subordinated Notes. Neither the Initial Purchaser nor the Collateral<br />
Administrator nor the Trustee nor the Investment Manager undertakes to review the financial condition<br />
or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the arrangements and transactions contemplated by this<br />
Prospectus nor to advise any investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to the<br />
attention of the aforementioned parties which is not included in this Prospectus.<br />
1.2 Suitability<br />
Prospective purchasers of the Notes of any Class should ensure that they understand the nature of such<br />
Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk, that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and<br />
access to professional advisers to make their own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the<br />
merits and risks of investment in such Notes and that they consider the suitability of such Notes as an<br />
investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.<br />
1.3 Combination Notes<br />
Each of the Risk Factors herein applies to the Combination Notes to the extent that the Components of<br />
any Combination Note correspond to any Classes of Notes to which these Risk Factors apply. The<br />
Class P Combination Notes while having the economic substance of Combination Notes are technically<br />
principal and 9 per cent. fixed rate coupon notes.<br />
2. Relating to the Notes<br />
2.1 Limited Liquidity and Restrictions on Transfer<br />
Although there is currently a market for notes representing collateralised debt obligations similar to the<br />
Notes, there is currently no market for the Notes themselves. Although the Initial Purchaser has advised<br />
the Issuer that it intends to make a market for the Notes, the Initial Purchaser is not obliged to do so,<br />
and any such market-making may be discontinued at any time without notice. There can be no<br />
assurance that any secondary market for any of the Notes will develop or, if a secondary market does<br />
develop, that it will provide the Noteholders with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the life<br />
of such Notes. Consequently, a purchaser must be prepared to hold such Notes for an indefinite period<br />
of time or until the Maturity Date. In addition, no sale, assignment, participation, pledge or transfer of<br />
the Notes may be effected if, among other things, it would require any of the Issuer or any of their<br />
officers or directors to register under, or otherwise be subject to the provisions of, the Investment<br />
Company Act or any other similar legislation or regulatory action. Furthermore, the Notes will not be<br />
registered under the Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and the Issuer has no plans, and is<br />
under no obligation, to register the Notes under the Securities Act. The Notes are subject to certain<br />
transfer restrictions and can be transferred only to certain transferees. See "Plan of Distribution" and<br />
"Transfer Restrictions". Such restrictions on the transfer of the Notes may further limit their liquidity.<br />
