3.15 Security<br />

Any Collateral Debt Obligations or other assets forming part of the Collateral which are<br />

securities will be held by the Custodian (or a sub-custodian of the Custodian). LaSalle Bank National<br />

Association, as a sub-custodian (the ‘‘Sub-Custodian’’) of the Custodian will hold such assets which<br />

can be cleared through Euroclear in a pledged account with Euroclear (the ‘‘Euroclear Pledged<br />

Account’’) unless the Trustee otherwise consents and will hold the other securities comprising the<br />

Portfolio which cannot be so cleared (i) through its accounts with Clearstream, Luxembourg or The<br />

Depository Trust Company (‘‘DTC’’), as appropriate, and (ii) through its sub-custodians who will in<br />

turn hold such Collateral Debt Obligations which are securities both directly and through any<br />

appropriate clearing system. Those assets held in clearing systems (and not held in the Euroclear<br />

Pledged Account) will not be held in special purpose accounts and will be fungible with other<br />

securities from the same issue held in the same accounts on behalf of the other customers of the<br />

Custodian or its sub-custodian, as the case may be. A first fixed charge over such Collateral Debt<br />

Obligations which are securities will be created under English law pursuant to the Trust Deed on the<br />

Closing Date and will take effect as a security interest over the right of the Issuer to require delivery<br />

of equivalent securities from the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement<br />

(as defined in the Conditions) which may expose the Secured Parties to the insolvency of the<br />

Custodian or its sub-custodian.<br />

The Collateral Debt Obligations which are securities held by the Sub-Custodian through the<br />

Euroclear Pledged Account will be the subject of a commercial pledge under Belgian law created by<br />

the Issuer pursuant to the Euroclear Pledge Agreement on the Closing Date. The effect of this<br />

security interest will be to enable the Custodian, on enforcement, to sell the securities in the<br />

Euroclear Pledged Account on behalf of the Trustee. The Euroclear Pledge Agreement will not entitle<br />

the Trustee to require delivery of the relevant securities from the depositary or depositaries that have<br />

physical custody of such securities or allow the Trustee to dispose of such securities directly.<br />

In any event, the charge created pursuant to the Trust Deed and the security created by the<br />

Euroclear Pledge Agreement may be insufficient or ineffective to secure the Collateral Debt<br />

Obligations which are securities for the benefit of Noteholders, particularly in the event of any<br />

insolvency or liquidation of the Sub-Custodian (or any other applicable sub-custodian) or the<br />

Custodian or any other custodian that has priority over the right of the Issuer to require delivery of<br />

such assets from the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement. In addition,<br />

custody and clearance risks may be associated with Collateral Debt Obligations or other assets<br />

comprising the Portfolio which are securities that do not clear through DTC, Euroclear or<br />

Clearstream, Luxembourg. There is a risk, for example, that such securities could be counterfeit, or<br />

subject to a defect in title or claims to ownership by other parties.<br />

Any risk of loss arising from any insufficiency or ineffectiveness of the security for the Notes<br />

must be borne by the Noteholders without recourse to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Lead Manager, the<br />

Joint Lead Managers, the Collateral Managers, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian or any<br />

other party.<br />

Fixed Security: Although the security constituted by the Trust Deed over the Collateral held<br />

from time to time, including the security over the Accounts, is expressed to take effect as a fixed<br />

charge, it may (as a result of, among other things, the substitutions of Collateral Debt Obligations or<br />

Eligible Investments contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement and the payments to be<br />

made from the Accounts in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed) take effect as a<br />

floating charge which, in particular, would rank after a subsequently created fixed charge. However,<br />

the Issuer has covenanted in the Trust Deed not to create any such subsequent security interests<br />

(other than permitted under the Trust Deed) without the consent of the Trustee.<br />

The Structured Combination Notes will be secured solely to the extent to which the respective<br />

underlying Components comprising the Structured Combination Notes are secured. In respect of the<br />

OAT Security Component only, holders of the Class V Structured Combination Notes will have the<br />

benefit of a Belgian law OAT Strip Pledge Agreement, under which the Issuer will grant a pledge<br />
