    RISK FACTORS

    An investment in the Notes involves certain risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider thefollowing factors, in addition to the matters set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, prior to investing in theNotes.

    Risks relating to the Notes

    Suitability. Prospective investors should ensure that they understand the nature of the CreditDefault Swaps, the form of confirmation for which is attached as Annex D, and the extent of theirexposure to risk, that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and access to professional advisers tomake their own legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks ofpurchasing a Note and that they consider the suitability of any such purchase of a Note in light of theirown circumstances and financial condition.

    Limited Liquidity of Notes. There is currently no market for the Notes. Although the InitialPurchaser may from time to time make a market in Notes, the Initial Purchaser is under no obligation todo so. In the event that the Initial Purchaser commences any market-making, it may discontinue the sameat any time. There can be no assurance that a secondary market for any of the Notes will develop, or if asecondary market does develop, that it will provide the holders of such Notes with liquidity of investmentor that it will continue for the life of the Notes. In addition, the Notes are subject to certain transfer

    restrictions and can only be transferred to certain transferees as described under "Transfer Restrictions".Consequently, an investor in the Notes must be prepared to hold its Notes for an indefinite period of timeor until their Stated Maturity.

    Limited Recourse Obligations. The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Co-Issuers.The Notes are payable solely from the Collateral pledged by the Issuer to secure the Notes. None of thesecurity holders, members, officers, directors, managers or incorporators of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, theTrustee, the Administrator, any Rating Agency, the Share Trustee, the Class F Subordinated Note Paying

    Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Initial Purchaser, any Credit Default Swap Counterparty, any oftheir respective Affiliates and any other person or entity will be obligated to make payments on the Notes.Consequently, the holders of Notes must rely solely on amounts received in respect of the Collateralpledged to secure the Notes for the payment of principal thereof and interest thereon. There can be noassurance that the distributions on the Collateral pledged by the Issuer to secure the Notes will be

    sufficient to make payments on any Class of Notes, in particular after making payments on more SeniorClasses of Notes and certain other required amounts ranking Senior to such Class. The Issuer's ability tomake payments in respect of any Class of Notes will be constrained by the terms of the Notes of Classesmore Senior to such Class and the Indenture. If distributions on the Collateral are insufficient to makepayments on the Notes, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency and, followingliquidation of all the Collateral, the obligations of the Co-Issuers to pay such deficiencies will beextinguished.

    Subordination of each Class of Subordinate Notes. No payment of interest on any Class ofNotes will be made until all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes of each Class that is Senior to suchClass and that remain outstanding has been paid in full. The Notes are paid pari passu in respect ofpayments of principal; provided that if a Sequential Principal Payment Event is in effect, payments ofprincipal will be made in accordance with the Redemption Payment Sequence and no payment ofprincipal of any Class of Notes will be made until the Class A-1 Commitment Amount has been reducedto zero and all principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes of each Class that is Senior tosuch Class and that remain outstanding have been paid in full. So long as any more Senior Class ofNotes remains outstanding, failure to make payment in respect of interest on the Class C Notes, theClass D Notes or the Class E Notes on any Payment Date by reason of the Priority of Payments will notconstitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. In the event of any realization on the Collateral,proceeds will be allocated to the Notes and other amounts in accordance with the provisions describedunder "Priority of PaymentsCredit Default Swap Allocations" and the Priority of Payments. To theextent that any losses are suffered by any of the holders of any Notes, such losses will be borne first, bythe holders of the Class E Notes, second by the holders of the Class D Notes, third, by the holders of theClass C Notes, fourth, by the holders of the Class B Notes fifth, by the holders of the Class A-2 Notes and

    sixth, by the holders of the Class A-1 Notes. See "Description of the NotesThe Indenture" and "Priority of Payments".

    Interests of Holders of a Class of Notes may not be Aligned with Interests of Holders ofOther Classes. The interests of the holders of a Class of Notes may not be aligned and may be adverseto the interests of the holders of other Classes of Notes. Accordingly, the exercise of remedies, votingrights or consent rights by the holders of one Class of Notes may be adverse to the holders of otherClasses of Notes. In particular, if an Event of Default occurs, the holders of the most Senior Class of

    Notes then outstanding will be entitled to determine certain remedies to be exercised under the Indenture.The exercise of such remedies could be adverse to the interests of the holders of Subordinate Classes.

    Incremental Fundings and Prepayments of the Class A-1 Notes. Holders of the Class A-1 UNotes will, upon request by the Issuer for an Incremental Funding, advance funds to the Issuer equal tosuch Incremental Funding; provided that at the time of and immediately after giving effect to suchIncremental Funding certain conditions are satisfied, as described herein. Notwithstanding theoccurrence of an Event of Default, the Class A-1 U Noteholders will be required to advance funds to theIssuer at any time to the extent necessary to satisfy the Issuer's obligations to make certain paymentsunder the Credit Default Swaps, as described herein.

    There can be no assurance that the applicable conditions to an Incremental Funding of the ClassA-1 U Notes will be satisfied or that, if the Class A-1 U Noteholder fails to fund such an Incremental

    Funding, a replacement for the Class A-1 U Noteholder can be found. If the Issuer is unable to make arequired payment under a Credit Default Swap because the Class A-1 U Noteholder fails to fund such anIncremental Funding and no replacement for the Class A-1 U Noteholder can be found, the Issuer maydefault on the Credit Default Swaps, in which case the Issuer may be subject to claims for terminationpayments by the Credit Default Swap Counterparty, which could have material and adverseconsequences on the interests of the holders of the Notes.

    The Exercise of Certain Rights by the Class F Subordinated Notes could be Adverse to theInterests of the Holders of the Notes. Interests of the holders of the Class F Subordinated Notes maybe different from and adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes. In particular, if the holders ofthe Class F Subordinated Notes elect to exercise an Optional Redemption or Clean-Up Call, the holdersof the Notes may not be able to invest the proceeds of the redemption of their Notes in one or morecomparable investments providing a return equal to or greater than the return such holders of the Notesexpected to obtain from their investment in the Notes.

    Average Lives of the Notes and Prepayment Considerations. The average life of each Classof Notes is expected to be shorter than the number of years until the Stated Maturity.

    The average life of each Class of Notes will be affected by the financial condition of the obligorson or issuers of the Reference Obligations and the characteristics of the Reference Obligations, includingthe existence and frequency of exercise of any prepayment, optional redemption, redemption or sinkingfund features, the prevailing level of interest rates, the redemption price, the actual default rate and theactual level of recoveries on any defaulted assets, and the frequency of tender or exchange offers for theReference Obligations. Furthermore, the average life of each Class of Notes may be affected by theoccurrence of an Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Auction Call Redemption of the Notes. See"Security for the Notes".

    Restrictions on Transfer. The Co-Issuers have not registered with the United States Securitiesand Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company

    Act. The Issuer has not so registered in reliance on an exception for investment companies organizedunder the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof (i) whose investorsresident in the United States are solely Qualified Purchasers and (ii) which do not make a public offeringof their securities in the United States. While counsel for the Co-Issuers will opine, in connection with thesale of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser and the Co-Issuers, as applicable, that neither the Issuer nor theCo-Issuer is on the Closing Date an investment company required to be registered under the InvestmentCompany Act (assuming, for the purposes of such opinion, that the Notes are sold by the Initial Purchaserand the Co-Issuers, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Indenture and otherrelated Transaction Documents), no opinion or no-action position has been requested of the SEC. If the

    SEC or a court of competent jurisdiction were to find that the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is required, but inviolation of the Investment Company Act had failed, to register as an investment company, possibleconsequences include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the SEC could apply to a district court toenjoin the violation; (ii) investors in the Issuer or the Co-Issuer could sue the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, asthe case may be, and recover any damages caused by the violation; and (iii) any contract to which theIssuer or the Co-Issuer, a
