[1] The assets of the Consolidated Entities would not be available to the Company's general creditors, and as a result, the Company does not consider them its assets. Additionally, the investors in the debt and residual interests of the Consolidated Entities have no recourse to the Company's general assets. Therefore, this debt is not the Company's obligation.
