With respect to notes to be offered or sold in the United Kingdom, each manager has represented and agreed (1) that it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by such manager in connection with the issue or sale of the notes in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to us, and (2) that it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by such manager in relation to the notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
 
Each manager has agreed that it will not offer or sell any notes, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan (which term as used herein means any person resident in Japan including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Japan) or to others for the re-offering or re-sale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to a resident of Japan except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948, as amended) and other relevant laws and regulations of Japan.
 
Furthermore, each manager has agreed that it will not purchase, deliver, offer or sell the notes or possess or distribute offering material in relation to the notes in any jurisdiction if such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution of such offering material would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such purchase, delivery, offer or sale or the possession or distribution by such manager or for or on behalf of us unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained.
 
Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International plc is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer and, therefore, to the extent that it  intends to effect any sales of the notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by NASD regulations.
