Also, <strong>Tabreed</strong> is obliged to make the payments under the relevant Transaction Documents directly to<br />

the Trustee and the Trustee, will have direct recourse against <strong>Tabreed</strong> to recover payments due to the<br />

Trustee, from <strong>Tabreed</strong> pursuant to such Transaction Documents.<br />

Risk Factors relating to the Certificates<br />

Plants Becoming fixed to the land<br />

Under UAE law, as <strong>Tabreed</strong>’s cooling plants are fixed to the land on which they are constructed,<br />

these cooling plants are deemed to be an integral part of the land on which they are sited.<br />

Accordingly, title to the applicable land includes title to the cooling plants which have no separate<br />

rights of ownership.<br />

As <strong>Tabreed</strong> does not generally own the land on which its cooling plants are constructed, <strong>Tabreed</strong><br />

only has contractual rights to use of the land on which the cooling plants are sited and, hence, to the<br />

cooling plants themselves. Accordingly, <strong>Tabreed</strong> will not give any warranty relating to transfer of<br />

construction work under the Istisna’a Agreement. Furthermore, <strong>Tabreed</strong> can only pass title to<br />

machinery and equipment relating to each of the Plants whose construction is being financed by the<br />

proceeds of the issue of the Certificates. Consequently, where <strong>Tabreed</strong> fails to pay the Exercise Price<br />

under the Purchase Undertaking and, as a result, the Trustee exercises its right to sell the Assets to a<br />

third party, the value of the machinery and equipment may be significantly lower than Exercise Price<br />

and the Certificateholders may therefore receive less than they would otherwise expect to receive.<br />

<strong>Tabreed</strong> shall remain liable under the Purchase Undertaking for the shortfall between the proceeds of<br />

sale to third parties and the Exercise Price.<br />

Liquidity of the Certificates<br />

Application has been made to the UK Listing Authority for the Certificates to be admitted to the<br />

Official List and to the <strong>London</strong> <strong>Stock</strong> <strong>Exchange</strong> to admit the Certificates for trading on the Market.<br />

There can be no assurances that a secondary market for the Certificates will develop, or if a<br />

secondary market does develop, that it will provide the Certificateholders with liquidity of investment<br />

or that it will continue for the life of the Certificates. The market value of the Certificates may<br />

fluctuate. Consequently, any sale of the Certificates by Certificateholders in any secondary market<br />

that may develop may be at a discount from the original purchase price of such Certificates.<br />

Counterparty risk<br />

Pursuant to the Commodities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer will use certain of the proceeds of the<br />

issue of the Certificates to acquire certain commodities from <strong>Tabreed</strong>. On the first Periodic<br />

Distribution Date, it is intended that such commodities shall be sold by the Issuer to the<br />

Counterparty pursuant to the Undertaking to Purchase (Commodities). In the event that the<br />

Counterparty fails to comply with its obligations under the Undertaking to Purchase (Commodities),<br />

such failure will result in the Issuer being unable to comply with its other obligations under the<br />

Istisna’a Agreement. This gives <strong>Tabreed</strong> the right to trigger an Istisna’a Event of Default which will<br />

result in the Certificates being redeemed earlier than the Scheduled Dissolution Date.<br />

Consents to Variation of Transaction Documents and other Matters<br />

The Declaration of Trust contains provisions permitting the Trustee, (acting on behalf of the<br />

Certificateholders), from time to time and at any time without any consent or sanction of the<br />

Certificateholders to make any modification to the Declaration of Trust if in the opinion of the<br />

Trustee such modification (a) is of a formal, minor or technical nature, or (b) is made to correct a<br />

manifest or proven error, or (c) is not materially prejudicial to the interest of Certificateholders.<br />

Unless the Trustee otherwise decides, any such modification shall as soon as practicable thereafter be<br />

notified to the Certificateholders and shall in any event be binding upon the Certificateholders.<br />

Enforcing Foreign Judgments in Dubai<br />

Under current UAE law, the courts are unlikely to enforce an English judgment without re-examining<br />

the merits of the claim and may not observe the choice by the parties of English law as the<br />

governing law of the relevant Transaction Documents and Certificates.<br />

Judicial precedents in the UAE have no binding effect on subsequent decisions. In addition, court<br />

decisions in the UAE are generally not recorded in publicly available reports. These factors create<br />

greater judicial uncertainty.<br />
