estimate the default rate the portfolio is likely to experience. The S&P CDO Monitor will be provided<br />

by S&P to the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator on the Final Effective Date,<br />

together with necessary instructions and assumptions. The S&P CDO Monitor calculates the<br />

cumulative default rate of a pool of Collateral Debt Obligations and Eligible Investments consistent<br />

with a specified benchmark rating level based upon S&P’s proprietary corporate debt default studies.<br />

The S&P CDO Monitor recognises and analyses the effects of substituting Collateral Debt<br />

Obligations, investments of Principal Proceeds in Eligible Investments, rating changes on Collateral<br />

Debt Obligations and amortisation and payment of Collateral Debt Obligations. In addition to the<br />

other constraints set out herein, any purchase or sale of a Collateral Debt Obligation must satisfy or<br />

not worsen the S&P CDO Monitor Test, except that Credit Impaired Obligations and Defaulted<br />

Obligations may also be sold regardless whether such sale satisfies or improves the S&P CDO<br />

Monitor Test.<br />

In addition to its quantitative tests, S&P’s ratings take into account qualitative features of a<br />

transaction, including the legal structure and the risks associated with such structure, such rating<br />

agency’s view as to the quality of the participants in the transaction and other factors that it deems<br />

relevant.<br />
