The Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may engage in negotiations leading to the restructuring of investments held for their own account or for the account of others. If such investments are also held by the Issuer, in entering into such negotiations, neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates will have any duty to act in any way which is favourable to the interests of the Issuer or the holders of the Notes. In the event the Collateral Manager, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement, determines that the Issuer and some other client should purchase or sell the same securities at the same time, the Collateral Manager anticipates that such purchases or sales will be allocated in a manner believed by the Collateral Manager to be equitable to each purchaser or seller. Nevertheless, under some circumstances, such allocation may adversely affect the Issuer with respect to the price or size of the securities positions obtainable or saleable. Moreover, it is possible, due to differing investment objectives or other reasons, that the Collateral Manager may purchase securities of an issuer for one client and sell such securities for another client.

Although the Collateral Manager anticipates that the commissions, mark-ups and xxxx-xxxxx charged by such Affiliates will generally be competitive, the Collateral Manager may from time to time have interests in such transactions that are adverse to those of the Issuer, such as an interest in obtaining favourable commission rates, mark-ups and xxxx-xxxxx.

In certain circumstances, certain conflicts of interest may arise, for example, if the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager for or on behalf of the Issuer) takes enforcement action under its rights under a Collateral Bond against the relevant Collateral Bond Issuer there may be a conflict of interest between the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Services Provider as corporate services provider to the Issuer and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Services Provider as corporate servicer to the relevant Collateral Bond Issuer. DEPFA BANK PLC AS NOTEHOLDER On the Refinancing Closing Date, DEPFA BANK plc will purchase one hundred per cent. (100%) of the Initial U.S.Dollar Notes to be issued by the Issuer. For so long as these Notes are held by DEPFA BANK plc, it will be entitled to all of the rights to which the holders of such Notes are entitled (including, without limitation, voting rights).

So long as DEPFA BANK plc continues to hold the Notes, in the exercise of the rights to which DEPFA BANK plc is entitled under the Notes, it will be in its interests to minimise any adverse impact or potential adverse impact on itself and its affiliates in its other capacities.
