The Class X1 Detachable Coupons will bear interest starting from the Issue Date up to the Payment Date falling on December 2012. The Class X2 Detachable Coupons will bear interest starting from 1 January 2013 up to the Final Maturity Date. The interest payable in respect of the Class X Detachable Coupons from time to time will be an amount (the “Class X Amount”) equal to (a) the product of: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans (as defined in the Conditions) as of the beginning of the applicable Interest Period and (ii) the Class X Rate, less (b) any amount of interest due to the Noteholders as a consequence of the redemption of the Notes on a Payment Date not falling on 30 June or 31 December. In addition, the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons will have the right to receive any prepayment fee, any refinancing fee and any extension fee paid by the Fund under the Term Facility Agreements. In case of full prepayment of the Term Facilities during the Pre-Amortisation Period, the Issuer, upon instructions of the Primary Servicer, (in its sole discretion and taking into account solely the interests of the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons), will:
11 (i) on the Payment Date following the prepayment of the Term Facilities and in accordance to Condition 6 (c), redeem early the Notes; or (ii) upon prepayment of the Term Facilities deposit the proceeds arising therefrom into the Principal Accumulation Account until the end of the Pre- Amortisation Period.

Upon occurrence of (ii) above or in the event that the Term Facilities are partially prepaid during the Pre-Amortisation Period, the amount payable in respect of the Class X Detachable Coupons (including any prepayment fee and any refinancing fee paid by the Fund to the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons) will be reduced by an amount equal to the difference (as determined by the Primary Servicer using reasonable assumptions) between the amount of interest due on the Notes from the prepayment date until the end of the Pre-Amortisation Period and the amount of interest to be earned on the Principal Accumulation Account from the prepayment date until the end of the Pre-Amortisation Period, . Such amount will be withheld on the Principal Accumulation Account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the excess, if any, will be released in favour of the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons on the Payment Date falling at the end of the Pre-Amortisation Period upon full redemption of the Notes. “Administrative Cost Factor” is, for any Interest Period, equal to the percentage obtained by dividing: (i) the Administrative Fees for such Interest Period by (ii) the outstanding principal balance of each Term Loan at the beginning of the corresponding Loan Interest Period. “Administrative Cost Rate” with respect to any Interest Period is equal to a variable rate per annum, which is the percentage equal to the product of (a) the fraction obtained by dividing: (i) the Administrative Cost Factor by (ii) the actual number of days in the relevant Interest Period and (b) 360. The Administrative Cost Rate represents, as of any period of calculation, the per annum rate at which Ordinary Issuer Expenses for any Interest Period accrue against the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans. “Administrative Fees” for any Interest Period will be the sum of all Ordinary Issuer Expenses plus VAT, if applicable, incurred during such Interest Period. “Class X Rate” from time to time will be equal to the excess, if any, of: (a) the Net Loan Rate over (b) the weighted average of the Interest Rates of all of the Notes (other than the Class X Detachable Coupons) (weighted on the basis of the respective Principal Amount Outstanding of such Notes immediately prior to the related Payment Date). “Net Loan Rate” for the Term Loans, with respect to any Loan Interest Period, is equal to the per annum interest rate due on the Term Loans for such period less the Administrative Cost Rate for the related Loan Interest Period. “Ordinary Issuer Expenses” means, with respect to any Interest Period, the ordinary and recurring fees of: (i) the Representative of the Noteholders, the Account Bank, the Cash Manager, the Principal Paying Agent, the Luxembourg Paying Agent, the Luxembourg Listing Agent, the Law 130 Servicer, the Primary Servicer, the Issuer Corporate Services Provider; (ii) the Issuer’s directors and the accountants or auditors appointed by the Issuer or its directors, (iii) the Issuer Facility Liquidity Provider, (iv) the Rating Agencies, (v) the stock exchange where the Notes are listed, and (vi) the fees due to any special servicer pursuant to the 12 Servicing Agreement. Such ordinary and recurring fees do not represent all of the expenses incurred by the Issuer, but instead represent those ordinary, recurring fees to be paid by the Issuer on a semi-annual basis to those transaction parties described above for the purpose of calculating the Net Loan Rate. The Ordinary Issuer Expenses, based on first year expenses, are expected to be in the range between Euro 300,000 and Euro 350,000 per annum, which do not include interest expense relating to any drawings of the Liquidity Facility, if actually made.

31 RISK FACTORS The following is a summary of certain aspects of the transaction of which prospective Noteholders should be aware. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and prospective Noteholders should make their own independent assessments of all investment considerations and should also read the information set out elsewhere in this document and in the Securitisation Documents. Matters relating to the Transaction Structure Limited Assets The primary assets of the Issuer are the Claims transferred to it pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and its rights against the other parties to the Securitisation Documents, the principal component of which is the Term Loans. Payments under the Notes depend primarily on the continuity of payments under the Term Loans. In addition, payments of Claims under the Term Facility Agreements are subordinated to payments to other parties, including the Hedging Provider, save for subordinated termination payments, as set forth in the Loans Order of Priority (as defined below). Payments under the Notes are subordinated to payments to other parties as set forth in the Priority of Payments. The rights of the Issuer against the other parties to the Securitisation Documents are, in essence, contractual rights, among other things, to receive payments of certain amounts from time to time or, in the case of rights against the Account Bank, rights to request delivery of securities owned by the Issuer and held by the Account Bank from time to time. Yield and Prepayment Considerations The yield to maturity of the Notes will depend on, among other things, the amount and timing of prepayment of principal (including prepayments from, among other things, a refinancing of the Term Loans in accordance with their terms and sale proceeds arising from sales of Properties and from indemnity payments, including under the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed) on the Term Loans. Such yield may be adversely affected by a higher or lower than anticipated rate of prepayment on the Term Loans. The rate of prepayment of the Term Loans cannot be predicted and will be influenced by a wide variety of economic and other factors, including prevailing interest rates, the buoyancy of the property market, the availability of alternative financing and local and regional economic conditions. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to the level of prepayment that will be experienced. Refinancing Risk The ability of the Issuer to redeem the Notes on the Expected Maturity Date (as defined below) is dependent on the repayment in full of the Term Loans by the Fund. If the Portfolio (as defined below) is not completely sold on the Loan Maturity Date, the ability of the Fund to repay the Term Loans in their entirety on the Loan Maturity Date will depend upon, among other things, its ability to find a lender willing to lend to the Fund (secured against some or all of the Properties not yet sold) sufficient funds to enable repayment of the Term Loans. If the Fund cannot find such a lender, then the Fund, in circumstances which may not be advantageous, may be forced into selling some or all of the Properties in order to repay the Term Loans. Failure by the Fund to refinance the Term Loans or to sell the Properties on or prior to the Loan Maturity Date or the Loan Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be, may result in the Fund defaulting on the Term Loans. In the event of such a default, the Noteholders may receive, by way of principal repayment, an amount less than the then Principal Amount Outstanding on their Notes and the Issuer may be unable to pay in full interest due on the Notes. Liquidity risk The Issuer is subject to the risk of delay in the receipt of payments due from the Borrower. To a limited extent, this liquidity risk is addressed by the Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement (see ‘‘The Principal Securitisation Documents - Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement’’) that covers the payment of interest under the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes (other than any amount due as the Class A Step-up Margin, the Class B Step-up Margin, Class C Step- up Margin, the Class D Step-up Margin, the Class E Step-up Margin and the Class F Step-up Margin) and the Class X Detachable Coupons. Repayment to the Issuer Liquidity Facility Provider of amounts drawn under the Issuer Liquidity Facility will rank in priority to payment of interest and repayment of principal to the Noteholders, in accordance with the applicable Priority of Payments.
32 Loan Step-up Following the seventh anniversary of the date of disbursement (included) of the Term Loans the margin of interest applicable to the Term Loans will increase in a certain percentage, which may not be covered by the rental income of the Fund. The Business Plan assumes that the Term Facility Agreements are refinanced on the Step-up Date. Matters relating to the Properties Uncertainty of Projected Cash Flows The projected cash flows that are expected to be available to the Issuer for the payment of interest and repayment of principal on the Notes depend on the extent of prepayments of the Term Loans which depend on the management and sales of the Properties (the “Projected Cash Flows“) which have been determined on the basis of the Business Plan (as defined below) and combined with a series of assumptions and extrapolations, all of which rely on certain judgements, hypothetical assumptions and estimates being made about future economic events, property market evolution, the revenues from the Properties, the operations of the Management Company and its respective advisers and agents for realising the revenues from the Properties. These assumptions have not been independently verified or confirmed and have not been investigated by any party to the Transaction. There may be differences between such Projected Cash Flows and actual results if events and circumstances do not occur as assumed under the Business Plan. Those differences may have a material effect on the timing and the aggregate amounts realised by the Fund and consequently by the Issuer. In addition, to the extent that the assumptions utilised in the preparation of the Projected Cash Flows are not correct, there will be differences (which may be material, both as to the timing and the amount of the collection of revenues) between the Projected Cash Flows and actual results (see “The Properties – The Business Plan”). The state of the Italian national and regional economies, the Italian real estate market, the availability of credit in Italy, the ability of the ADD and the other Tenants or third parties to fulfil their respective obligations or make payments in the amounts and within the time frames assumed cannot be assured. Similarly, operational and other expenditures and liabilities could be substantially different from, and could occur at different times than, those projected. Finally, the cash flows deriving from the sale of the Properties might be affected if the regularisation process in respect of the same cannot be carried out pursuant to current legislation or if the ADD or the other Tenants or the MEF fail to comply with their respective obligations undertaken in the ADD Lease Agreement, the other Lease Agreements or the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed, respectively. In this respect see “The Principal Loan Documents - The ADD Lease Agreement” and “The Principal Loan Documents – The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed”. Limited predictability of future trends in the Italian property market The property market is the reference market for the Fund’s portfolio of Properties and can be affected by several factors, including changes in the general national or international economic climate; the cyclical nature of the property market; adverse local conditions such as, by way of example only, an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for property in a particular area; the quality and underlying policies and procedures of the management; increased competition; the ability of the owner to provide maintenance and control costs; government regulations; interest rate levels; the availability of financing; uninsured or uninsurable risks; natural disasters; potential liability under, and changes in, environmental, zoning and tax law and practice and other laws and government regulations. Limited liquidity of the Properties Under certain market circumstances, it may be difficult for the Management Company to find a buyer for the Properties, especially where the Properties have a particular use or purpose. Such difficulty, if persisting for a considerable length of time, may involve an extension of the average life of the Notes and delay the redemption of the Notes beyond the initial term of the Fund. Inability to sell the Properties may cause the Management Company to seek an extension of the term as permitted by the Management Rules. See “The Fund”. Furthermore, such difficulty may reflect negatively on the sale price of the Properties and, consequently, on the funds available to the Fund to make payments in respect of the Claims and therefore on the funds 33 available to the Issuer for purposes of making payments in respect of the Notes. However it should be noted that the average size of the Properties is relatively low (mainly between Euro 5 million and Euro 15 million). See “The Properties”. Future changes of tax laws and property regulations Future, unexpected changes to the taxation regime, as supported by the interpretation of the competent authorities, applicable to the revenues arising from the Properties and/or capital gains or to the taxation of real property (ICI) and/or taxation of the Fund may adversely affect the amounts available to the Fund to make payments in respect of the Claims and therefore also adversely affect the amount of funds available to the Issuer for purposes of making payments in respect of the Notes. In addition, unexpected changes to property laws and regulations, to administrative and/or civil law may also affect the value of the Properties and, consequently, the price at which they may be sold and may adversely affect the amount of funds available to the Fund to make payments in respect of the Claims and therefore also adversely affect the amount of funds available to the Issuer for purposes of making payments in respect of the Notes. Limitations on representations and warranties Pursuant to the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed, the Fund, the Term Lenders and, by way of assignment, the Issuer, would have certain rights to receive indemnification from the MEF. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed”. Such indemnification rights are, however, subject to: (i) certain carve-outs in relation to specific Properties; (ii) litigation risks to the extent there may be any dispute as to the indemnity due; and (iii) statute of limitations restrictions in relation to failure to exercise rights under the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed”. As a result of the above limitations, the Fund could incur contingent liabilities as a result of its ownership of the Properties which are not covered entirely by the MEF. Any liability in relation to the Properties which is not covered in full by the MEF may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to satisfy its obligations under the Term Facility Agreements and, consequently, the ability of the Issuer to meet its obligations to make payments in respect of the Notes. In addition, any of the above limitations could adversely affect the value of the Properties and therefore reduce the amounts which may be recovered by the Fund from the re-letting or sale of the Properties during the term of the Term Facility Agreements. Servicing of the Portfolio The Fund's return on investment may be negatively influenced by the servicing of the Portfolio and by the related costs and expenses, including those pertaining to extraordinary maintenance of the Properties and those connected with potential indemnification vis-à-vis third parties which can be significant. The total return on investment from the Properties depends on the amount of income earned from, and the capital appreciation generated by, the Properties. If the Properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditure, the Fund’s income will be adversely affected and this may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to pay interest and/or principal on the Term Facility Agreements. The Issuer has a liquidity line under the Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement in order to cover among other things any shortfall in the payment of interest under the Notes and the Class X Detachable Coupons. However there is no assurance that the amounts available under the Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement will be sufficient to the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Notes. The Fund has working capital available to it under the Tranche Working Capital under the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement in order to cover its operating expenses during any period. However there is no assurance that the amounts available under the Tranche Working Capital under the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement will be sufficient to cover all the operating expenses. The Management Company has appointed a Property Manager to assist in the management of the Properties. See “The Properties - Management of the Properties”. In the event of the termination of the Management Company’s appointments of the Property Manager, it would be necessary to identify and appoint substitute entities able to perform the required tasks. There can be no assurance that such substitute entities which are
34 willing to accept such appointment, and are able to assume and/or perform the relevant duties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Fund, can be found or that they can be found in a timely manner which will not affect the management of the assets and the sales of the Properties. In addition it should be considered that the Issuer and the Noteholders do not have any direct control over the identity of the replacement entities. Lease Agreements On or about the Issue Date, a portion equal to approximately 60% of the Portfolio by contribution value is leased to the ADD under the ADD Lease Agreement (see “The Principal Loan Documents - The ADD Lease Agreement”), providing approximately 75% of the rental income of the Portfolio at the Fund’s inception (including a portion of the Property located at Via de’ Vecchietti 13, Florence, which is part of the ADD Lease Agreement). The remaining portion of the Portfolio is leased to third private and public parties. Properties representing 77% of the contribution value and approximately 90% of the rental income of the Portfolio have public entities as Tenants (including lease agreements executed after 30 December 2005). The Management Company will monitor and manage the payment of rents and expenses. Notwithstanding such monitoring activity, the risk of a possible contractual default by the ADD or the other Tenants cannot be fully excluded. Such risk may negatively affect the proceeds to the Fund from rent and other payments due under the ADD Lease Agreement and the other Lease Agreements. However, in the case of the ADD Lease Agreement, in order to satisfy its obligations to pay rent under the ADD Lease Agreement, the ADD will resort to a specific fund (fondo affitti) especially created pursuant to Article 29, paragraph 1, sub-paragraph 5, of Law Decree No. 269 of 30 September 2003 enacted into law by Law No. 326 of 24 November 2003. In addition, pursuant to Law No. 311 of 30 December 2004, the ADD is also entitled to request the State General Accounting Department to withdraw cash (anticipazioni di tesoreria) from the State Treasury (Tesoreria Centrale) if necessary for the payment of rent, costs and other charges in accordance with the ADD Lease Agreement. It should also be noted that the MEF has undertaken in the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed to indemnify the Fund if the revenues arising from the Pool A Properties are not at any time equal to those deriving to the Fund pursuant to the ADD Lease Agreement. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed”. Furthermore, the cash flows deriving from the management of the Pool A Properties might be affected if the ADD exercises its right to withdraw from a portion of the portfolio of Pool A Properties within the limits set forth in the ADD Lease Agreement (See “The Principal Loan Documents - The ADD Lease Agreement”) or if the ADD Lease Agreement is not renewed, and thus terminated, after the first period of nine years. However, it should be noted that the ADD Lease Agreement expressly provides that the ADD has the right to terminate the agreement at the expiration date (i.e. end of the first period of nine years) only with respect to all Pool A Properties leased at that time and after having obtained the availability of other properties where the Public Administration Users (as defined below) may continue to carry on their respective institutional activities. It should also be noted that pursuant to the Term Facility Agreements, upon receipt of the notice of termination of the ADD Lease Agreement, the Borrower is required to apply the aggregate of (i) any proceeds deriving from the sale of the Real Estate Assets, (ii) any rental payments received, (iii) any indemnity payments received, (iv) any payment received under the Insurances, after payment of amounts in priority thereto under the Fund Intercreditor Agreement, to the prepayment of the Term Loans and the Tranche Capex. See “The Principal Loan Documents”. In the event of a total or partial cancellation or termination of the ADD Lease Agreement or any of the other Lease Agreements pursuant to their respective terms, there can be no assurances that replacement leases can be entered into in the short term or long term under the same or more favourable economic conditions. Force majeure and similar matters The laws of Italy recognise the doctrine of force majeure, which, under certain circumstances, permits a party to a contractual obligation to be released from it upon the occurrence of an event which renders its performance impossible. There can be no assurance that one or more of the Tenants will not be affected by a force majeure event which could have the result of its being released from certain of its obligations under the Lease Agreement to which it is a party. Right of withdrawal under the Lease Agreements The Borrower’s ability to discharge its obligations under the Term Facility Agreements could be adversely
35 affected if any of the tenants (other than ADD) vacates any or all of the Pool B Properties. Each of the tenants (other than ADD) has a statutory right as lessee to terminate its Lease Agreement at any time for serious reasons (gravi motivi) by giving the Borrower six months advance notice (see ‘‘Selected Aspects of Italian Law - Properties - Regulatory framework relating to Lease Agreements - Right of withdrawal under the Lease Agreements’’). There can be no assurance that such events will not occur or that any Tenant will not seek to terminate any Lease Agreement for such reasons and obtain a favourable ruling from the competent courts. Upon termination of the relevant Lease Agreement, there can be no assurance that the relevant Pool B Properties will be re-let or, if re-let, that the leases for such space will be on terms as favourable to the Borrower as those of the Lease Agreements. Local planning Italian law requires that buildings comply with local planning law and regulation. Violation of local planning law or regulation can result in (i) fines being imposed on the offending building’s owner, (ii) orders that alterations be made to the building, or (iii) in certain circumstances, the demolition of the offending building. If any such violation does exist, it could expose the Fund to costs which could negatively affect its ability to make payments of principal and/or interest in respect of the Term Loans. However, the ADD, under the ADD Lease Agreement, and the MEF, under the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed, have undertaken to indemnify the Fund for liabilities incurred by it as a result of any of the Properties not complying with relevant local planning law and regulation. In addition the ADD has undertaken to fulfil certain local planning requirements under the ADD Lease Agreement and to leave the Pool A Properties in a good state of maintenance when vacating the Pool A Properties. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed” and “The Principal Loan Documents - The ADD Lease Agreement”. Insurance coverage All of the Properties are covered by the Insurance Policy. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The Insurance Policy”. There can be no assurances that all risks that could affect the value of the Properties are or will be covered by the Insurance Policy or, if such risks are covered, that the insured losses will be covered in full (in particular, a number of risks are expressly not covered by the Insurance Policy) (see “The Principal Loan Documents - The Insurance Policy”). Any loss incurred in relation to the Properties which is not covered (or which is not covered in full) by the Insurance Policy could adversely affect the value of the Properties and the ability of the Fund to satisfy its payment obligations under the Term Facility Agreements and this would result in a shortfall of funds available to the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Notes. In addition, upon termination or non renewal for any reason of the Insurance Policy, there is no assurance that the Fund will be able to find replacement insurances on the same terms and conditions. If a claim under the Insurance Policy is made, but the insurer fails to make payment in respect of that claim, this could prejudice the ability of the Fund to make payments in respect of the Term Loans, which would in turn prejudice the ability of the Issuer to make payments in respect of the Notes. Under the terms of the Term Facility Agreements, the Fund is required to procure that new insurance is executed if the credit rating of the insurer becomes lower than A by Fitch, A1 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. (“Moody’s”) or A by S&P. Environmental Risks The environmental and occupational health and safety obligations and liabilities of real property owners under applicable Italian law and regulation include the following: (a) owners of Italian properties have no direct obligations as regards land investigations and monitoring, however, in accordance with Section 5 of Legislative Decree No. 152 of 3 April 2006, the obligation to put into effect emergency safety measures, clean-up and reclaiming works of a polluted area, constitutes a real encumbrance (onere reale) on polluted land and, therefore, the owner of polluted land has liability therefor (even if it did not cause the pollution) if the person who caused the pollution cannot be identified or if the previous owner did not perform the required works (the owner's liability for pollution caused by other parties is ancillary to the responsible parties' primary liability); and (b) failure to comply with regulations regarding asbestos is punishable by special administrative and criminal sanctions and by sanctions provided by the general law on workplace health and safety. Italian law requires compliance with certain safety standards in respect of buildings such as the Properties 36 and property owners are required to ensure compliance. If an environmental liability affects a Property and is not or cannot be remedied then the Property and the owner’s ability to lease the Property or to lease it at full market rent or to sell the Property or to sell it without a reduction in price may be negatively affected. As a result, there may be a shortfall in, and/or delays in, the payment of interest and/or principal on the Term Loans and this would result in a shortfall of funds available to the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Notes. The Arrangers and the Lead Managers have not done an environmental due diligence on the Properties and they are relying on the representations and warranties given by the MEF in the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. In fact, it should be considered that the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed and the ADD Lease Agreement provide that some of the environmental liabilities will be borne directly by the MEF or the ADD, as the case may be (see “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed” and “The ADD Lease Agreement”). Appraisals The Properties were appraised by Real Estate Advisory Group S.r.l. (“REAG“ or the “Property Appraiser“) in connection with the determination of the value at which they were transferred or contributed to the Fund or sold by Coni to the Fund (the “Initial Appraisal“). See “The Properties”. The Initial Appraisal expresses the professional opinion of REAG regarding the Properties and is not a guarantee of the present or future value of the Properties. Property appraisers may reach different conclusions regarding the value of any property and an appraiser other than REAG might have reached a different professional opinion. In addition, property appraisals seek to establish the amount that a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller and, in certain cases, may have taken into consideration the purchase price paid by the existing property owner when it purchased the property. There can be no assurance that the market value of any Property will continue to equal or exceed the appraised value thereof attributed to it in the Initial Appraisal. If the market value of a Property fluctuates, there can be no assurance that the market value will be equal to or greater than the unpaid principal, accrued interest, and other amounts payable in respect of the amount of the Term Loans allocated to such Property. There can be no assurances that the net proceeds obtained from the sale of a Property following a Default under the Term Loans, the Tranche Capex or the Tranche Working Capital (see “The Principal Loan Documents – The Facility Agreements”), will be sufficient to pay all amounts allocated to that Property and due and payable in respect of the Term Loans, the Tranche Capex and the Tranche Working Capital and if there is a shortfall, this would result in a shortfall in funds available to the Issuer to make payments in respect of the Notes. Marketability of the Properties Certain formalities with the competent land registry, cadastral office, tax registry office (Ufficio del Registro) or municipality (including obtaining a certificato di agibilità e abitabilità), the updating of the existing file with the competent cadastral office (accatastamento), including any cadastral division (frazionamento catastale) and/or the adoption of a millesimal chart (tabella millesimale) may be required by law to be fulfilled or may be requested to be fulfilled by potential purchasers in connection with the sale of any Property. Such formalities will be fulfilled by, or at the direction of, the Management Company. While the Management Company is in a position to fulfil all the legally required formalities in connection with the sale of the Properties, there can be no assurances that any additional compliance requested by potential purchasers or other third parties can be completed or can be timely completed in connection with sales of the Properties. Possible substitution of Properties under certain circumstances Under certain circumstances and within the limits set forth in the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed, in case of request of indemnity the MEF will have the right to substitute the affected Properties with new properties. While the terms of the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed requires the substitute properties to have the same characteristics as the substituted Properties (in terms of value and yield), the Fund will not know in advance which properties will be made available by the MEF for substitution, nor will the Fund have the ability to reject properties tendered by the MEF for substitution. In any event, properties transferred to the Fund in substitution of Properties will become Properties subject to the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. Due to historical and heritage limitations the transfer of a Property with address at Piazza Serenissima, Peschiera del Garda, Verona, Italy, is ineffective and this may give rise to indemnification obligations of the MEF pursuant to the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed which may take place by way of substitution. See “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed” and “The Properties”. 37 Risk related to the existence of a cultural interest of the Transferred Properties and pre-emption rights Pursuant to the Contribution Decree and the Transfer Decree, the Minister of Cultural Assets and Activities (Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali), the regions and the other local entities where the Properties are situated may, within 60 days starting from the date of receipt of each notice of such Ministry as to the alienability and the transfer to the Fund of each of the Properties, decide to purchase any of the Properties contributed under the Contribution Decree or transferred under the Transfer Decree at a price equal to the value at which such Contributed Properties or Transferred Properties were originally transferred to the Fund. In the event that such pre-emption right is exercised, the Fund would however benefit from the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. See “Selected Aspects of Italian Law – The Contribution Decree, - The Transfer Decree”, “The Principal Loan Documents - The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed” and “The Properties”. Enforcement It should be noted that as the payments under the Notes may depend also on the enforcement of the Special Lien on the Contributed Properties and the Transferred Properties and the Mortgage on the Coni Properties, recoveries from the Properties will be dependant upon the effectiveness and duration of enforcement proceedings in respect of the Properties in the Republic of Italy. Enforcement proceedings may take a considerable amount of time, depending on the place in which such action is taken and the type of action that is required. See “Selected Aspects of Italian Law”. Nature of the ADD, the other public entity Tenants and the Public Administration Users Certain rights of the Fund as owner of the Properties are restricted in consideration of the fact that the ADD, certain of the other Tenants and the entities occupying almost all of the Properties are public entities. In particular, the landlord’s right to evict a tenant in case of breach of the relevant lease agreement or in cases provided by law is recognised and enforceable even against public administration entities performing their institutional activities in the leased properties. However, there can be no assurances that the institutional activity performed by the Public Administration Users of the Properties will not constitute an obstacle to the actual enforcement of such eviction rights and therefore result in delays or even limitations to the exercise of such rights to the extent that primary public interests are or may be prejudiced. In addition, in accordance with article 14 of Law Decree No. 669 of 31 December 1996, converted into Law No. 30 of 28 February 1997, as amended and supplemented, enforcement procedures (esecuzione forzata) in order to obtain payments against the ADD, the other public entity Tenants, the MEF or any other Public Administration Users can only be commenced after a period of 120 days has elapsed from the date on which the enforceable instrument (titolo esecutivo) and a payment request in respect thereof (atto di precetto) have been notified to the relevant debtor. Sovereign Immunity Under the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed and the ADD Lease Agreement, the MEF and the ADD, respectively, have irrevocably waived any immunity from jurisdiction and execution or attachment to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Italian law there are certain public assets which may not be attached, including those forming part of the demanio or of the patrimonio indisponibile (undisposable assets such as assets which are meant for the attainment of a public interest). Risks related to the circumstance that the Portfolio includes a significant Property The Property located in Via Boglione 55, 63, 73, 81 and 87, Rome (Italy) represents 8.5% of the market value and 10.6% of the rental income of the Portfolio. In order to optimise the value of, and income deriving from, this Property, the Management Company shall pay particular attention to the monitoring and management of (i) maintenance and the condition of this Property, and (ii) payments of its rents and expenses. However, notwithstanding such activity, changes to the market value or disposal value of, or income deriving from, this Property may accordingly adversely affect the Fund’s income, the performance of the Portfolio as a whole, as well as, indirectly, the actual returns for the Noteholders. Risks related to vacancy or the absence of signed lease agreements Since the Fund has acquired certain Properties on an "as is" basis, portions of such Properties subject to the contribution and/or the transfer to the Fund may be vacant or may be occupied by Tenants which have not
38 signed a lease agreement and who may or may not pay tenure indemnities regularly. There is no certainty that new leases will be entered into in respect of such Properties or that tenure indemnities will continue to be paid. As at 31 December 2005 the percentage of assets by market value completely vacant was equal to 5.8%. Risks related to the legal due diligence on the Properties Considering that the legal due diligence carried out in respect of the Properties (mainly on town planning, zoning and other similar aspects) has been based only on information made available, it cannot be excluded that legal issues, which may impact negatively on the value, profitability, transferability of such Properties and/or on the validity of the contribution and/or the transfer, might arise in the future. In order to minimise the impact of such risks on the Fund, the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed provides for indemnification obligations by the MEF in favour, among other things, of the Fund upon occurrence of certain circumstances, including, without limitation, the legal impossibility to sell the Properties for reasons existing at the moment of the transfer, third party actions or sanctions arising from non-compliance of any of the Properties with requirements of applicable law. Compulsory purchase. Any property in Italy may be subject to a compulsory purchase order in connection with general utility purposes at any time (see “Selected aspects of Italian Law”). If a compulsory purchase order is made regarding all or part of any of the Properties, compensation would be payable to the Borrower (as owner of the Properties) on the basis of specific criteria set out in applicable legislation. There can be no assurance that the amount of such compensation would at least be equal to the value of the relevant Property. In addition, there is often a delay between the completion of a compulsory purchase of a property and the date of payment of the statutory compensation. Any such delay, or a payment of statutory compensation to the Borrower that is lower than the value of the relevant Property, could have an adverse impact on the ability of the Issuer to meet its obligations to pay principal and interest under any class of Notes. Matters relating to the Fund Replacement of the Management Company The Management Rules (as defined below) provide that the Management Company may be replaced only in the following events: (i) compulsory winding-up, receivership or winding-up of the Management Company; (ii) loss by the Management Company of its authorisation to manage collective investment funds; (iii) any time during the term of the Fund, upon resolution of the participants’ meeting, to be adopted with the favourable vote of participants representing at least 65% of the aggregate nominal value of Class A Units, in the circumstances provided for by the Management Rules; (iv) starting from the expiry of 36 months from the date of the Contribution, by resolution of the participants’ meeting, upon motivated proposal and resolution of the Advisory Committee, to be adopted with the favourable vote of participants representing at least 65% of the aggregate nominal value of Class A Units. The Issuer does not have any right to replace the Management Company. However, the Management Company carries out its management activities under the continuous control of the Bank of Italy. In case of default of the Management Company to carry out its duties under the Management Rules the Bank of Italy may adopt all necessary measures in order to protect the interest of the holders of the Fund Units. Insolvency of the Management Company Pursuant to the Consolidated Financial Law, the Fund is an autonomous pool of assets, separate ad segregated from (i) the Management Company’s assets, (ii) the unitholder’s assets, and (iii) the assets of other funds managed by the same Management Company. The Management Company’s creditors and the Depositary Bank’s creditors may not attach or claim against the Fund’s assets. Actions brought by creditors of investors shall be admitted only on the Units held by such investors. The Management Company is not permitted to use the Fund’s assets for its corporate purposes or in the interest of third parties. In view of the foregoing, the insolvency of the Management Company should not affect the segregation of the assets owned by the Fund; however it should be noted that since no asset management companies have been declared insolvent in Italy, there are no court decisions supporting the principle that the insolvency of a management company does not affect the segregation of the assets of the Fund.
39 Interest rate risk The Fund has entered into the Hedging Agreement with the Hedging Provider in order to hedge against its interest rate exposure arising from the difference between the fixed payments received by the Fund from the ADD under the ADD Lease Agreement and from the other Tenants under the other Lease Agreements and the variable rates of interest payable by the Fund under the Facility Agreements (see “The Principal Loan Documents - The Hedging Agreement”). Should the Hedging Provider fail to provide the Fund with all amounts owing to it on any payment date under the Hedging Agreement, or should the Hedging Agreement be otherwise terminated, then the Fund may have insufficient funds available to it to make payments of interest due under the Facility Agreements and this will adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments of interest required in respect of the Notes. Tax Event under the Hedging Agreement The Hedging Agreement provides that if, due to action taken by a relevant taxing authority or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction or any change in tax law, either the Fund or the Hedging Provider, as the case may be, will or is substantially likely to, on the next relevant payment date, either: (1) receive a payment from the other party from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of tax and no additional amount is required to be paid by that other party to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Issuer or the Hedging Provider, as the case may be, will equal the full amount that that party would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required; or (2) be required to pay additional amounts in respect of tax under the Hedging Agreement, then the Hedging Agreement may be terminated. Termination of the Hedging Agreement In certain circumstances the Hedging Agreement may be terminated and the Fund may be unable to find a suitable replacement hedging provider, in such case the Fund may not have the necessary funds required by it to make payments in respect of the Term Facilities Agreement and this will adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments of interest required in respect of the Notes. Payments by the Issuer under the Hedging Agreement In the event that the Issuer makes any payment in favour of the Hedging Provider in accordance with the Hedging Agreement, it will be subrogated in the credit rights of the Hedging Provider against the Borrower and would have the right to receive the payments due by the Borrower to the Hedging Provider in that respect. In the event that any payments are due to the Issuer under the Hedging Agreement, the Issuer will be subordinated to the Hedging Provider with respect to those payments. In such event the Issuer may increase its credit exposure against the Borrower and there will be no assurance that the Borrower may have sufficient funds available to it to repay the amounts due to the Issuer and this may adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments of interest required in respect of the Notes. Risks related to the financial leverage of the Fund The Fund may borrow money within the limits set forth by all the applicable provisions, the Management Rules and the Facility Agreements. Since the Fund has borrowed money to finance the purchase of the Properties, it is subject to risks associated with the debt financing, including, by means of example, the risk that the available funds might be insufficient for the required repayments, that existing indebtedness might not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favourable as those of the existing financing. In any event, by virtue of law and pursuant to the Loan Security Documents and the MEF Decrees, the rents and any other income deriving from the use of the Transferred Properties and the Contributed Properties is allocated with priority to the reimbursement of loans and refinancing granted to the Fund. See “The Principal Loan Documents”. Furthermore, if the Fund reaches the limitations for the borrowing provided for by the current regulation governing real estate investment funds (equal to 60% of the then current value of the Properties), the Fund may not be able to incur any indebtedness, including drawings of amounts available to the Fund under the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement. See “Selected Aspects of Italian Law”.
40 Matters relating to the Loans Security Special Lien Art. 4 Privilegio Speciale (as defined below), unlike mortgages, are not established by way of a registration with the Registrar of Real Estate Properties. Their existence is disclosed to the public only by way of publication of the relevant decrees in the Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana. Accordingly, foreclosure proceedings over the assets to which an Art. 4 Privilegio Speciale pertains need not be notified to the creditors whose claim is secured by such privilegio speciale, even though the Art. 4 Privilegio Speciale ranks ahead of other claims. Absent any notification, therefore, the assets may be attached without the creditors secured by the Art. 4 Privilegio Speciale having been given notice of the foreclosure proceeding, and thus the chance to be a party thereto, and to submit their preferred claim. It should be noted however that the Term Facility Agreements provide that the Fund shall (i) notify the Agent of any attachment, sequestration, distress or execution, for a value exceeding Euro 250,000 in respect of a single Property or an aggregate amount of Euro 500,000 in respect of events affecting more than one Property, in order to enable the Term Lenders secured by the Art. 4 Privilegio Speciale to become a party to the proceedings and to satisfy their claim in priority, (ii) preserve the interests of the Term Lenders, and (iii) notify to the Term Lenders any circumstances which may have a material adverse effect. See “Selected Aspects of Italian Law”. Assignment of the Lease Agreements Pursuant to the Term Facility Agreements, the Borrower agreed to use all best efforts, also taking into account the standards of care and due diligence pertaining to primary real estate market operators, to procure that the Lease Agreements relating to certain Properties are assigned by way of security, within 30 September 2006, or amended in order to making them assignable by way of security, within February 2007, and enter into the Lease Payment Assignment in relation to the amended Lease Agreements, within 10 Business Days from the date of execution of the amendment, and procure the trascrizione of such Lease Payment Assignment within 20 Business Days from the date of execution. However it should be noted that the execution of the amendments is not under the control of the Borrower since it needs the approval of the relevant Tenants, thus there is no assurance that the credits deriving from such Lease Agreements will be assigned by way of security to secure the repayment of the Term Loans. As of the Issue Date the Lease Agreements that are not assignable account for approximately 1.0% of the value of the rents at the time of the transfer of the Properties. In addition, since the above undertaking is a best effort obligation there is no certainty that the Borrower will assign by way of security such receivables in favour of the Issuer; in such event the Noteholders would not have a perfected security on such receivables. Perfection of the assignment of the claims arising from the Lease Agreements Pursuant to the Term Facility Agreements, the Borrower agreed to procure the registration (trascrizione) of any Lease Payment Assignment on the competent land register. In the event that the Borrower does not procure such registration, the security created by the Lease Payment Assignment will be effective among the parties and against the relevant debtor but not against third parties creditors staring a foreclosure proceeding (pignoramento) against the Borrower. However it should be noted that in any event the assignment of rents, even if not registered, is effective against third parties creditors within the limit of one year starting from the foreclosure proceeding (pignoramento). Matters relating to the Notes Liability under the Notes The Notes and interest thereon will not be obligations or responsibilities of any person other than the Issuer. In particular, the Notes will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or be guaranteed by, the Representative of the Noteholders, the Paying Agents, the Issuer Corporate Services Provider, the Issuer Liquidity Facility Provider, the Cash Manager, the Account Bank, the Law 130 Servicer, the Primary Servicer, the Term Lenders, the Transferors, the Fund, the Management Company, the Property Manager, the Depositary Bank, the Capex Lenders, the Hedging Provider, the Agent, the ADD, any of the other Tenants, the Arrangers, or the Lead Managers and Bookrunners or the quotaholder of the Issuer or any other party to the Loan Documents or the Securitisation Documents or any company in the same group of companies as any of them and none of such persons accepts any liability whatsoever in respect of any failure by the Issuer to make payment of any amount due on the Notes.
41 Risks Related to the Class X Detachable Coupons. Interest will cease to be payable on the Class X Detachable Coupons if the aggregate of the Ordinary Issuer Expenses, together with the interest payable on the Regular Notes, equals or exceeds, at any time, the interest payable on the Term Loans. The holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons will not have the same rights as the holders of the Notes. No principal will be repayable on the Class X Detachable Coupons. The holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons will not have the right to participate or vote at meetings of Noteholders, pass any Noteholder resolution or direct the Representative of the Noteholders to enforce the Issuer Security. The yield to maturity on the Class X Detachable Coupons will be highly sensitive to the rate and timing of principal payments and collections (including by reason of a voluntary or involuntary prepayment, or a default and liquidation) on the Term Loans. Investors in the Class X Detachable Coupons should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments and collections could result in a lower than expected yield and an early liquidation of the Term Loans could result in the failure of such investors to fully recoup their initial investments. Also, the yield on the Class X Detachable Coupons will be subject to the amounts to be paid in priority pursuant to the applicable Priority of Payments. In addition investors in the Class X Detachable Coupons should fully consider the risks connected to the prepayment of the Term Loans. If such prepayment occurs in the Pre-Amortisation Period, the amount payable in respect of the Class X Detachable Coupons will be reduced by an amount equal to the additional tax at the rate of 20 per cent. paid by the Issuer on the interest accrued on the Notes up to the date of early redemption (in the event that the Issuer, upon instructions of the Primary Servicer at its sole discretion taking into account solely the interest of the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons, early redeems the Notes pursuant to Condition 6, letter (c)) or any cost relating to the negative carry (in the event that the Issuer, upon instructions of the Primary Servicer at its sole discretion taking into account solely the interest of the holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons, deposits the proceeds arising from the prepayment pf the Term Loans on the Principal Accumulation Account). Rating of the Notes The ratings assigned to the Notes and the Class X Detachable Coupons by the Rating Agencies are based on the value of the Properties, the amount and timely payment of Lease Payments by the ADD under the ADD Lease Agreement and by the other Tenants under the other Lease Agreements, the credit risk of the Republic of Italy and other relevant collateral and structural features of the Securitisation and reflect only the views of the Rating Agencies. The ratings of the Notes and the Class X Detachable Coupons address: (i) the full and timely payment to the Noteholders of all payment of interest on the Notes and on the Class X Detachable Coupons on each Payment Date; and (ii) the full payment to Noteholders of all principal on the Notes on the Final Maturity Date. There is no assurance that any such rating will continue for any period of time or that it will not be reviewed, revised, suspended or withdrawn entirely by any of the Rating Agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or if, in the Rating Agencies’ judgment, circumstances so warrant. Limited Recourse The Notes and the Class X Detachable Coupons are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer only and, accordingly, any claims which Noteholders or holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons may have against the Issuer will be limited to the value of the Issuer Security or the relevant portion thereof. The proceeds of realisation of the Issuer Security may, after paying or providing for all prior-ranking claims, be less than the sums due to Noteholders or certain of the Noteholders. Under such circumstances, any claims of Noteholders will be extinguished. The Notes give to the Noteholders the right to receive the Step-up Margin starting from the Step-up Date. However, the obligation of the Issuer to pay the Step-up Margin to the Noteholders is limited only and to the extent that there are Issuer Available Funds available for such purpose at the relevant Payment Date. Effect of the Class X Detachable Coupons An effect of the Class X Detachable Coupons will be that if the Issuer is required to pay any fees, costs and
42 expenses, whether to an Issuer Secured Party or to a third party creditor, that are unusual and extraordinary in nature (including the repayment of Liquidity Facility and interest thereon) then, to the extent that such fees, costs and expenses cannot be recouped from the Borrower prior to the following Payment Date, a shortfall in funds necessary to pay interest on then junior classes of Notes will occur. Absence of Secondary Market; Limited Liquidity Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the Notes to be admitted to the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. There can be no assurance that a secondary market in the Notes will develop or, if it does develop, that it will provide Noteholders with liquidity of investment, or that it will continue for the life of the Notes. In addition, the market value of certain of the Notes may fluctuate with changes in prevailing rates of interest. Consequently, any sale of Notes by Noteholders in any secondary market which may develop may be at a discount to the original purchase price of those Notes. Liquidity Facility Pursuant to the terms of the Liquidity Facility Agreement, the Liquidity Facility Provider will provide a committed facility for drawings to be made in the circumstances described in ‘‘The Principal Securitisation Documents - Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement’’. The facility will, however, be subject to an initial maximum aggregate principal amount which will, in certain specified circumstances, be reduced. The amount available to be drawn under the Liquidity Facility on any Payment Date may be less than the Issuer would have received, had full and timely payments been made in respect of all amounts owing to the Issuer during the related Collection Period. In such circumstances, insufficient funds may be available to the Issuer to pay in full interest due on the Notes. In addition, the amount of available Liquidity Facility to meet the Issuer’s obligations to pay interest to any class of Notes (other than the Class A Notes) is subject to certain limitations. See ‘‘The Principal Securitisation Documents - Issuer Liquidity Facility Agreement’’. European Union Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income On 3 June 2003 the Council of the European Union (ECOFIN) adopted a directive regarding the taxation of interest income. Each EU Member State must implement the directive by enacting legislation that requires paying agents (within the meaning of the directive) established within its territory to provide to the relevant competent authority details of interest payments made to any individual and certain intermediate entities resident in another EU Member State. The competent authority of the EU Member State of the paying agent (within the meaning of the directive) is then required to communicate this information to the competent authority of the EU Member State of which the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident. The Republic of Italy has implemented the above mentioned directive by Legislative Decree No. 84 of 18 April 2005 which is fully applicable from the 1 July 2005. Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg had the option to withhold tax from interest payments within the meaning of the directive. As allowed by article 11 of the directive Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg have opted to apply the withholding tax system during an interim period. This system is focused on a withholding tax at the rate of: i) 15% from 2005 to 2007; ii) 20% from 2008 to 2010; iii) 35% from 2011. See “Taxation”. Withholding Tax in respect of the Notes In the event that withholding taxes are imposed in respect of payments of amounts due under the Notes to Noteholders, the Issuer is not obliged to gross-up or otherwise compensate Noteholders for any shortfall in amounts the Noteholders will receive as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes. In the event that the Notes are redeemed by the Issuer in accordance to the Conditions prior to eighteen months from the Issue Date, the Issuer will be required to pay in Italy a tax corresponding to an amount equal to 20 per cent. of interest and other proceeds accrued on such principal amount repaid early up to the relevant repayment date. Change of the Legal Framework The structure of the issue of the Notes and the ratings which are expected to be assigned to them are based on Italian law, English law and regulations and administrative practice in effect as at the date of this Offering Circular. No assurances can be given as to the impact of any possible changes to Italian law, English law or
43 regulations or administrative practice or any law, decree or regulation being abrogated, becoming ineffective or being declared invalid also as result of a challenge after the date of this Offering Circular, nor can any assurances be given that any such change will not adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to make payments under the Notes. See “Selected Aspects of Italian Law” Changes to the Basel Accord On 18 October 2005, the Council of the European Union adopted a Proposal of Directives of the European Parliament and of the Council, recasting Directive 2000/12/EC and of the Council of 20 March 2000 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions and Council Directive 93/6/EEC of 15 March 1993 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit institutions (the “Capital Requirements Directive””). This text will serve as the basis for national rule-making and approval processes in European Union Member States and for banking organisations to complete their preparation for the implementation of the so called “New Basel capital accord”. Recipients of this Offering Circular should consult their own advisers as to the consequences to, and effects on, them of the potential application of the Capital Requirements Directive. Suitability Prospective investors in the Notes should ensure that they understand the nature of the Notes and the extent of their exposure to risk, that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and access to professional advisors to make their own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of investment in the Notes and that they consider the suitability of the Notes as an investment in light of their own circumstances and financial condition. Claw back of the assignment of the Claims The transfer of the Claims may be subject to legal action brought by a liquidator of the transferor to claw back such transfer or in any manner render ineffective the same in accordance with any applicable bankruptcy law in respect of any transferor. Pursuant to Italian law, in respect of any of the Transferors which are Italian companies such an action can be brought within 3 months following the transfer if the sale price was equal to or above market value, and (a) the transferor was insolvent on the date of the Transfer and (b) the liquidator can prove that the transferee was, or ought to have been, aware of such insolvency. Such an action can be brought within 6 months following the transfer if the sale price was below market value, and (a) the transferor was insolvent at the time of the transfer and (b) the transferee cannot prove that it was not, or ought not to have been, aware of such insolvency. In accordance with the above, if any of the Transferors were insolvent at the time of the transfer of the Claims pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and the Issuer was, or ought to have been, aware of such insolvency, then, in certain circumstances, the applicable transfer may be subject to claw back by the liquidator of the relevant Transferor. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement each of the Transferors will represent to the Issuer that, at the time of the transfer of the Claims, it was not insolvent, that no order had been made by any competent authority to admit proceedings referred to in the Bankruptcy Act or in any other applicable law concerning such Transferor, including liquidation proceedings set forth under the Banking Act or under any other applicable law, in respect of that Transferor and that neither a resolution nor any other action had been taken by it with the intention of obtaining the above judicial orders. Securitisation Law The Securitisation Law was enacted in the Republic of Italy on 14 May 1999, and only limited guidance on or interpretation of the application of the Securitisation Law has been issued by Italian governmental, regulatory or tax authorities ever since. Consequently, it is possible that such authorities will issue further regulations relating to the Securitisation Law or the interpretation thereof that impact the transaction described in this Offering Circular in ways that cannot be predicted by the Issuer as of the date of this Offering Circular. Administration and reliance on third parties The ability of the Issuer to make payments pursuant to the Notes will depend upon the due performance of the respective obligations of each party to the Loan Documents and the Securitisation Documents and
44 therefore also on the solvency of such parties. In particular, without limiting the foregoing, the timely and full payment of amounts due under the Notes will depend on the ability of, inter alia, the Law 130 Servicer and the Primary Servicer to collect amounts due in respect of the Claims. The failure of any party to the Loan Documents or the Securitisation Documents to perform its respective obligations or the inability to replace such a party in the event of the termination of their mandate thereunder could adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the Notes. Servicing The Issuer shall appoint the Law 130 Servicer and the Primary Servicer to exercise, inter alia, certain actions in respect of the Loan Documents. Accordingly, and among other things, certain consents sought by the Fund under the Term Facility Agreements will be given or refused by the Agent, upon instructions of the Primary Servicer. In relation to acceleration or enforcement of the Term Facility Agreements generally, this will be an aspect of the servicing of the Term Facility Agreements which the Issuer will have delegated to the Primary Servicer. Conflicts of interest The Arrangers or their affiliates are transferors of the Claims under the Transfer Agreement or may otherwise have a credit exposure to the Fund, which may be reduced as result of the transfer of the Claims to the Issuer. In addition, the Lead Managers or their affiliates will be the initial holders of the Class X Detachable Coupons. The Class X Detachable Coupons will not be offered or sold pursuant to this Offering Circular. General Forward-looking statements Certain statements contained in this Offering Circular, including any statements preceded by, followed by or which include the words “intend(s)”, “aim(s)”, “expect(s)”, “will”, “may”, “believe(s)”, “should”, “anticipate(s)” or similar expressions, and any other statements that are not historical facts, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements and subjective assessments. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document and are based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. No one undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this document. The Issuer believes that the risks described above are the principal risks inherent in the transaction described in the Offering Circular for prospective Noteholders, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on, or in connection with, the Notes may occur for other reasons and the Issuer does not represent that the above statements regarding the risks of holding the Notes are exhaustive. Although the Issuer believes that the various structural elements described in this Offering Circular lessen some of these risks for Noteholders, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to ensure payment to Noteholders of interest, principal or any other amounts on, or in connection with, the Notes on a timely basis or at all. For a description of other risks that relate solely to the impact of Italian Law, see “Selected Aspects of Italian Law”.
45 THE PRINCIPAL LOAN DOCUMENTS The description of certain of the Loan Documents and certain other material documents set out below is a summary of certain features of those documents and is qualified by reference to the detailed provisions of the terms and conditions of each thereof. Capitalised terms not defined in this section or in the Glossary of Terms are used with the meaning ascribed to them in the relevant Loan Document. In certain cases the definitions of the defined terms used in this section are summaries of the definitions in the relevant Loan Document. The Facility Agreements The Facility Agreements are (i) the facility agreement dated 30 December 2005, as amended on 22 June 2006 (the “Term A Facility Agreement“) entered into between the Borrower, the Term Lenders and the Pre-securitisation Agent, (ii) the facility agreement dated 30 December 2005, as amended on 22 June 2006 (the “Term B Facility Agreement“ and, together with the Term A Facility Agreement, the “Term Facility Agreements”) entered into between the Borrower, the Term Lenders and the Pre-securitisation Agent, and (iii) the facility agreement dated 30 December 2005, as amended on 20 February 2006 and on 22 June 2006 (the “Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement” and, together with the Term Facility Agreements, the “Facility Agreements”) entered into between the Borrower, on one hand, and by Intesa and BNL, as lenders (the “Capex Lenders”) and the Agent, on the other. The Term A Loan Pursuant to the terms of the Term A Facility Agreement, the Term Lenders, in the shares indicated therein, disbursed to the Borrower an aggregate amount of Euro 341,709,600 (the “Term A Loan”) on 30 December 2005 (the “Disbursement Date“). The net proceeds to the Borrower from the Term A Loan were paid by the Borrower to the MEF for the benefit of the transferors of the Transferred Properties, by way of settlement of the consideration for the Transferred Properties in accordance with the Transfer Decree. See “Selected Aspect of Italian Law - The MEF Decrees”. The Term B Loan Pursuant to the terms of the Term B Facility Agreement, the Term Lenders, in the shares indicated therein, disbursed to the Borrower an aggregate amount of Euro 56,118,925 (the “Term B Loan” and, together with the Term A Loan, the “Term Loans”) on the Disbursement Date. The proceeds to the Borrower from the Term B Loan were paid (i) in part, to Coni, for the benefit of the sellers of the Coni Properties, (ii) in part to the Coni Payment Account for release to Coni upon the expiration of the term for the exercise of the pre- emption right in respect of the Coni Properties subject to cultural heritage legislation (see “Selected Aspects of Italian Law - The MEF Decrees”), (iii) in part to the Fund's Capex and Agency Fee Account to pay certain fees arising under the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement, and (iv) in part to the Fund's Arrangement Fees Account to pay certain arrangement fees. The Capex and Working Capital Loan Pursuant to the terms of the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement, the Capex Lenders agreed to advance to the Borrower an aggregate of Euro 30,488,000 for the purpose of financing (i) Capital Expenditures (as defined below) up to an amount of Euro 20,488,000 (the “Tranche Capex”) and (iii) General Purposes Costs (as defined below), up to an amount of Euro 10,000,000 (the “Tranche Working Capital”).
The Tranche Capex is composed of the Sub-Tranche A, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of Euro 18,213,114, and the Sub-Tranche B, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of Euro 2,274,886 and is available to the Borrower during the period commencing on 30 December 2005 (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the date a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below) occurs (the “Tranche Capex Availability Period”). The Borrower is required to apply the proceeds to it from the Tranche Capex to the financing of Capital Expenditures. Under the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement, there can be no more than four drawings of the Tranche Capex per calendar year and drawings must occur in accordance with the limits set forth in Schedule 4 to the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement. Amounts which are not drawn down within the final term for their drawing as set forth on Schedule 4 to the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement are cancelled.
46 The Tranche Working Capital is available to the Borrower on a revolving basis during the period commencing on 31 December 2005 and ending on the earlier of (i) 31 December 2013 and (ii) the date on which a Cash Sweep Event occurs. The Borrower is required to apply proceeds to it from drawings under the Tranche Working Capital to the financing of general expenses related to the Fund and the management of the Properties, including payment of interest on the Tranche Capex and the Term Loans.

Under the ADD Lease Agreement, the 60 Fund leases to the ADD the Pool A Properties (all properties which, prior to the Effective Date, were owned by the State and used for government purposes or owned by the Public Administration Users (as defined below) and used for their institutional activities). For the purposes of this section only, the term “Pool A Property/ies” shall include the portion of the Property at Via de’ Vecchietti 13, Florence which is part of the ADD Lease Agreement. Use of the Properties Under the ADD Lease Agreement, the Pool A Properties will continue to be used as they were used up to the Effective Date, in particular for the conduct of the activities of the public administration entities which occupied the Pool A Properties prior to the transfer and the contribution of the same to the Fund (the “Public Administration Users“) (see “The Properties”). The ADD may change the use of the Pool A Properties only with the prior consent of the Lessor and subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations and the obtaining of all required authorisations. All costs and expenses related to a change of use will be borne by the ADD. In addition, the ADD has the right to allocate space in the Pool A Properties to other public administration entities, but is required to notify the Lessor and such allocation of space is subject to the Lessor’s consent. At the end of the ADD Lease Agreement, the ADD shall (i) return the leased Pool A Properties in good maintenance state and in compliance with the applicable law concerning hygiene, health, safety, environment, anti-seismic, building and town-planning and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from any liability towards third parties or deriving from the breach or non compliance with the applicable law concerning hygiene, health, safety, environment, anti-seismic, building and town-planning, not resulting from any breach of maintenance obligations of the Fund. Term The initial term of the ADD Lease Agreement is nine years starting from the 29 December 2005 (the “First Expiration Date“). The ADD Lease Agreement provides that it will be automatically renewed for a further period of 9 (nine) years on the same terms and conditions unless terminated, with respect to all (and not some) Pool A Properties, by the ADD with at least 12 (twelve) months notice prior to the First Expiration Date. Termination of the ADD Lease Agreement at the First Expiration Date may only occur if the Public Administration Users otherwise acquire the use of other properties so that they may continue their activities. After the first renewal term of 9 (nine) years, the ADD Lease Agreement provides that it will be renewed automatically on the same terms and conditions for successive periods of 6 (six) years each, unless terminated by the Lessor or the ADD with at least 12 (twelve) months notice prior to the relevant expiration date. Pursuant to Article 4 of Law Decree 351/2001 (see “Selected Aspects of Italian Law – Article 4 of Law Decree 351/2001”) and to the Transaction Decree, ADD waived the right to terminate a lease agreement for serious reasons (gravi motivi) granted by article 27, last paragraph, of Law No. 392 of 27 July 1978 until the end of the first renewal period (i.e. year 18). Partial termination by ADD and rationalisation plan Under the ADD Lease Agreement the ADD has the right, upon 18 months prior notice to the Lessor, to withdraw entire buildings of Pool A Properties (other than certain specified excluded Pool A Properties – equal to 43% of the initial annual rent fixed under the ADD Lease Agreement in respect of the Pool A Properties - as described below) from the ADD Lease Agreement subject to the following conditions which shall apply until the end of the first nine year renewal term: (i) the reduction in the Rent (as defined below) arising from the partial withdrawal from the Lease Agreement calculated in accordance with certain specified parameters may not exceed 10% of the Rent payable as of the Effective Date; (ii) the reduction in Rent may not exceed (A) 2.5% for the period commencing from the beginning of the third year of the term and up to the end of the fifth year of the term; (B) 5% for the period commencing from the beginning of the sixth year of the term and ending at the end of the eighth year of the term; (C) 7.5% for the period commencing from the beginning of the ninth year of the term and up to the end of the ninth year of the term; and (D) 10% for the period commencing from the 61 beginning of the tenth year of the term. Paragraph (ii) above does not apply to the Pool A Properties presently used by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Richerche (National Research Council) in respect of which the ADD has the right to withdraw from the ADD Lease Agreement commencing from the end of the third year of the term on not less than 24 months prior written notice and subject to certain specified Rent reduction limits, provided that the maximum 10% limit above is not exceeded. If the ADD wishes to vacate space in excess of the above indicated permitted limits and notifies the Lessor, the Lessor has the right to notify the ADD, within 10 days, of its intent to find a third party tenant for such space. If the Lessor so notifies the ADD, the ADD will be automatically entitled to withdraw from the Lease in respect of such space. If the Lessor does not notify the ADD that it will find a third party tenant, then the ADD will have the right to sublease or grant other rights of use to the space to third parties. The right of ADD to withdraw from the ADD Lease Agreement does not apply to the following Pool A Properties: Asset Code Address Town Main use 115 Via De Gasperi, 71 Cuneo Office/Fire Department 182 Via De Gasperi, 73 Cuneo Office/Police Station 183 Via Brigata Padova, 18 Padova Office/Police Station 184 Via Farini, 3 Vicenza Office/Fire Department 205 Via Salaria Vecchia, 13 Pescara Police Training Centre 206 Piazza d'Armi Vibo Valentia Police Training Centre 207 Viale Malta, 11 Piacenza Police Training Centre 208 Via Damiano Chiesa, 7/9/11 Trieste Police Training Centre 209 Via Nazario Sauro 1 La Spezia Police Training Centre Via A.

In order to allow the Lessor to optimise its plans for the sale of the Pool A Properties, the ADD is required to deliver to the Lessor a non-binding rationalisation plan (the “Rationalisation Plan“) for the use of the space occupied by the Public Administration Users which evidences the Pool A Properties in respect of which the ADD intends to exercise its right of partial withdrawal from the ADD Lease Agreement. The Rationalisation Plan is required to be delivered to the Lessor prior to the end of the first eighteen months of the lease term. If the Lessor intends to sell a Pool A Property it is required to notify the ADD. Within 30 days of such notification, if the ADD has not already notified the withdrawal of the relevant Pool A Properties from the ADD Lease Agreement to the Lessor, the ADD is required to notify the Lessor which of the Properties among those to be offered for sale, it intends to withdraw from the ADD Lease Agreement and specify the date of withdrawal. Beginning from the 18th anniversary of the ADD Lease Agreement (i.e. the end of the first nine year renewal period), the ADD can unconditionally terminate the ADD Lease Agreement in relation to whole Pool A Properties subject to at least six months prior notice. If, at the end of the lease term, the ADD fails to return possession of the Pool A Properties, it shall be required to continue to pay the relevant portion of Rent due for the first six months and, thereafter, such amount increased by 50%, without prejudice to other damages. In cases where the increased Rent is due it will be increased each month by 100% of the ISTAT Index (as defined below). Rent The annual rent payable by the ADD in respect of all of the Pool A Properties is Euro 33,877,002 (the
62 “Rent“), plus VAT if due, allocated to each Pool A Property as specified in an attachment to the ADD Lease Agreement. Commencing from the beginning of the second year of the ADD Lease Agreement and for each following year, the Rent will be increased by an amount equal to 75% of the change in the consumer price index for families of employees as determined by ISTAT (the “ISTAT Index“) for the prior year and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Italy. If a Pool A Property is withdrawn from the ADD Lease Agreement by the ADD or sold to a third party, the Rent will be reduced in accordance with the amount of Rent allocated to the relevant Pool A Property plus the pro quota portion of the corresponding ISTAT increase indicated above. In addition, if the transfer of one or more of the Pool A Properties pursuant to the MEF Decrees is invalid or ineffective, or is revoked, the Rent will be proportionally reduced in accordance with the amount thereof allocated to such Pool A Property. Pursuant to the ADD Lease Agreement, Rent is required to be paid semi-annually in advance prior to the 15 January and the 15 July of each year during the lease term. The Rent is required to be paid to the Fund’s Rent Account. In any case, pursuant to an amendment letter signed by the parties on 30 December 2005, as long as the Fund is the owner of the Pool A Properties, the Rent shall be paid in semi-annual postponed instalments to be paid within 15 June and 15 December of each year of duration of the ADD Lease Agreement. In case of delay of the payment by the ADD (as well as in case of breach of certain obligations under the ADD Lease Agreement), the side letter shall be terminated and the payment of the Rent shall be due as set forth in the ADD Lease Agreement. The first rent instalment of Euro 11,000,000 million was paid to the Fund on 30 December 2005. If a Pool A Property is sold to a third party, the Lessor is required to provide the ADD at least 30 days prior notice. On the date of the sale, the ADD is required to pay the pro rata portion of the relevant Rent allocated to the sold Pool A Property accrued up to the date of the sale and to pay to the third party purchaser of the Pool A Property, in advance, the portion of the relevant Rent which will accrue for the period commencing from the date of the sale up to the next date for the payment of rent. The ADD Lease Agreement provides that all accessory costs and expenses related to the Pool A Properties are for the account of the ADD. In addition, late payments of Rent or operational costs will accrue interest at the rate of six month EURIBOR plus 2% and the ADD will be required to reimburse the Lessor for all reasonable costs sustained in connection with the recovery of late payments. Maintenance, improvements and access Pursuant to the ADD Lease Agreement, certain extraordinary maintenance activities are required to be carried out by the Lessor. All other ordinary and extraordinary maintenance activities are to be performed by the ADD or by the Public Administration Users. Maintenance by the ADD is to be conducted in accordance with an agreed plan and the ADD is required to report semi-annually to the Lessor regarding the work performed. The Lessor is required to ensure that the Pool A Properties comply with all applicable laws and regulations which come into force after the Effective Date. Any improvement to the Pool A Properties required by the ADD is subject to obtaining the consent of the Fund if it requires a public authorisation. Under the ADD Lease Agreement, the ADD and the Public Administration Users are required to permit the Lessor and its representatives to have access to the Properties including with potential lessors or purchasers. Insurance Under the ADD Lease Agreement, the Lessor is required to enter into and maintain appropriate insurance coverage in respect of all damage to the Pool A Properties or to third parties not arising from the conduct of the activities of the ADD or the Public Administration Users (see “The Principal Loan Documents - The Insurance Policy”). Sub-lease Except as contemplated in respect of the Public Administration Users, and subject to certain exceptions in
63 connection with the activities conducted by the Public Administration Users, the ADD is not permitted to sub-lease or assign any of the Pool A Properties or the ADD Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lessor. Rights of first offer Under the ADD Lease Agreement, the Lessor has granted to the ADD, for itself and on behalf of the Republic of Italy and the Public Administration Users (i) rights of first offer in respect of the lease of each Pool A Property after the end of the first 9 (ninth) year extension period for a term of 6 (six) years, on the same terms and conditions as the ADD Lease Agreement, except for the rent which will be in accordance with the market at the time; and (ii) rights of first offer in respect of the sale of each Pool A Property which is offered for sale individually or in groups. In the event of the sale of a Pool A Property to a third party, the ADD Lease Agreement requires that the purchaser take over the ADD Lease Agreement as lessor for such Property at the same terms and rent as in the ADD Lease Agreement. Governing law The ADD Lease Agreement is governed by Italian law.

If the amount of the liability is determinable and readily quantifiable or, if it is a reduction in the value of a Property, it is determined on the basis of an opinion of the Property Appraiser or other independent expert, then the MEF is required to pay the indemnity within 60 days of its receipt of the request therefor. If the indemnity amount is not determinable, then the parties will negotiate for a period of 90 days with a view to agreeing the amount, failing which, the parties may resort to the Rome Court for a resolution of the issue.

If the indemnity requested relates to invalidity of the contribution or transfer of a Property to the Fund, or eviction from a Property by a third party or the legal impossibility of the Fund to sell a Property or the failure of any of the Property Portfolio Requirements to be satisfied, then the MEF will only be required to pay indemnity if the amount requested, together with prior requested amounts, exceeds the sum of Euro 2,000,000 and it will be required to indemnify only the portion exceeding Euro 2,000,000. With respect to the Property Requirements specifically applicable only to the Coni Properties, the MEF will only be required to pay indemnity if the amount requested, together with prior requested amounts, exceeds the sum of Euro 20,000 and only the amount that exceeds Euro 20,000. The limits described above do not apply to indemnifiable events which arise from the revocation, in whole or
66 part, of any of the MEF Decrees and to the failure of the MEF to comply with certain obligations arising from the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. Replacement Properties If the transfer of a Property to the Fund is wholly or partially ineffective or null, or there is an eviction from one or more properties by a third party, or it is legally impossible for the Fund to sell one or more Properties as a result of matters existing as at the Effective Date, or one or more Indemnifiable Events reduces the value of one or more Properties by more than 20% calculated at the time at which the right to indemnity arose and in accordance with specified valuation criteria, then the MEF may, within 60 days from its receipt of the relevant request for indemnity, notify the Fund that it wishes to pay the indemnity by way of the substitution of the affected Property with a replacement Property or repurchase the Property by way of payment to the Fund of an amount equal to the value of the Property gross of the reduction in value on the basis of which the request for indemnity was made. Replacement properties must comply with certain specified requirements as provided for in the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed. Properties replacing assets included in the Pool A Properties shall have an use destination consistent with that of the Property to be replaced and shall be included in the ADD Lease Agreement. In no circumstances the value of the replacement properties may exceed 20% of the original transfer value of the Portfolio to the Fund. Any difference between the liabilities to be indemnified and the value of the replacement properties must be settled in cash. If the indemnity request arises from action taken by third party purchasers of the Properties, the indemnity will be required to be paid in cash. If the MEF's payment of indemnity or substitution of a Property fully compensates the Fund's loss but, as a result of the Fund's loss, the Fund has defaulted in its obligations to the Lenders, the MEF will be required to indemnify the Lenders in cash for their loss arising from such default upon the request of the Fund accompanied by a certification of the Agent as to the relevant amount. The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed provides that certain specified Properties will be subject to a verification of there effective surface area and, depending on the results, certain adjustments in the contribution or transfer value thereof will be made. If the value of the transferred Properties is found lower than the initial appraised value, an indemnity shall be paid by the MEF subject to the above limitations. If the value of the transferred Properties is found higher than the initial appraised value, such amount shall be deducted in case of request of indemnification. Consent to Assignment In the MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed, the MEF has expressly consented to the Fund’s assignment of its receivables thereunder to the Lenders and to all of the parties that may become assignees of the Lenders rights under the Loan Agreement. Prescription periods The MEF Warranty and Indemnity Deed specifically provides that the MEF’s obligations are autonomous and separate from the transfer of the Properties and survive for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties even following the transfer thereof until all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement have been satisfied.

The Hedging Agreement On 1 June 2006, the Fund entered into a flexi-swap with the Hedging Provider under which the Fund has hedged the risk connected with the mismatch between the fixed payments received by the Fund under the ADD Lease Agreement and the other Lease Agreements and the variable interest payments to be paid by the Fund under the Term Facility Agreements. The flexibility allows for delay in the execution of the business plan of the Fund. The hedging arrangement referred to above and the related ISDA Master Agreement and schedule thereto, as amended and supplemented, are referred to as the “Hedging Agreement”. The Hedging Agreement contains certain limited termination events and events of default which will entitle either party to terminate the Hedging Agreement. The Issuer is also party to the Hedging Agreement since, pursuant to the Hedging Agreement if for any reason the Borrower is unable to make any payment when due to the Hedging Provider, the Issuer shall pay any such amounts to the Hedging Provider. The Hedging Agreement is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, English law.

If the Depositary Bank is not approved by the Rating Agencies as Eligible Institution, the Management Company shall (i) appoint a substitute Depositary Bank which is an Eligible Institution or, (ii) arrange to sub-deposit the amounts standing to the credit of the Funds’ Accounts with a sub-depositary bank, indicated by the Agent, which is an Eligible Institution, the accounts on which such amounts are sub-deposited to be pledged in favour of the Loan Finance Parties, or, with the consent of the Agent, (iii) cause the Depositary Bank to provide additional guarantees from one or more Eligible Institutions (including third party guarantees), which are in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. At all times after the Securitisation, the substitute Depositary Bank, the sub-depositary bank or the provider of the additional guarantees, shall be an Eligible Institution. Appointment of the Agent Under the Fund Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Loan Finance Parties appoints (i) the Pre-Securitisation Agent, until the date on which a Securitisation is effected, to act as its undisclosed agent (mandatario senza rappresentanza), and (ii) the Post-Securitisation Agent (or any entity named by it), from the date on which a Securitisation is effected, to act as its disclosed agent (mandatario con rappresentanza) under and in connection with the Loan Security Documents. Prior to the Securitisation, the Agent is required to act in accordance with instructions given to it by the Lenders. Following the Securitisation and upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default, the Agent may exercise the rights of the Loan Finance Parties including the enforcement of the Loan Security Documents. If the Agent fails to file proofs of claim by the 10th Business Day before the last day for such filing, any of the Loan Finance Parties may file on their own behalf, but proceeds arising from such enforcement must be
75 segregated and transferred to the Agent to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Agent is required to calculate the Borrower’s Available Funds on each day which is 3 Business Days prior to each Loan Interest Payment Date and notify the Fund and the Finance Parties thereof on the immediately following Business Day. The Agent is also appointed to make any calculation required to be made under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Facility Agreements. Under the Loan Intercreditor Agreement, on each day which is 2 Business Days prior to each Loan Interest Payment Date, or before any date on which payments are to be effected by the Borrower under the Loan Transaction Documents, the Agent is required to deliver a notice to the Borrower and each of the other parties to the Fund Intercreditor Agreement, a notice (the “Agent’s Notice”) containing, among other things, (i) the quantification of the proceeds arising out of the sale of the Fund Eligible Investments, if any; (ii) quantification of the Fund Available Funds; (iii) a statement of the amounts which will be required to be paid out of each of the Fund’s Accounts in accordance with the applicable Loan Order of Priority on the following Loan Interest Payment Date; (iv) a statement of the principal amounts which will be outstanding under each of the Facility Agreements after the payments required to be made on the following Loan Interest Payment Date are made; and (v) a statement of the amounts standing to the credit of each of the Fund’s Accounts after the payments required to be made on the following Loan Interest Payment Date are made. The Agent is also required to segregate any Enforcement Proceeds from all other monies that it holds for its own benefit and apply them in accordance with the relevant Loan Order of Priority. Fund Eligible Investments The Fund Intercreditor Agreement provides that if, at any time in any Loan Interest Period but during the last 15 days thereof, the aggregate balance in the Fund’s Accounts exceeds the Account Threshold (as defined below), the excess amount must be invested in Fund Eligible Investments, provided that the Fund Eligible Investments and proceeds therefrom are deposited into accounts opened with the Depository Bank and pledged in favour of the Loan Finance Parties. Fund Eligible Investments are required to be disinvested and transformed into Fund Eligible Investments Proceeds not later than six Business Days prior to the immediately following Loan Interest Payment Date to the extent necessary to meet the Borrower's obligations not covered by other Borrower’s Available Funds. “Account Threshold” means Euro 500,000. Decisions of the Lenders Pursuant to the Fund Intercreditor Agreement, the Lenders take decisions by a favourable vote of at least two thirds of their aggregate outstanding participation in the Facility Agreements, except for certain decisions which require unanimous approval, such as verification of financial ratios, amendments to maturity, payments mechanisms and covenants in the Facility Agreements; and enforcement of rights under the Loan Security Documents.
If the Agent has to take a decision in relation to the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement and the interest of the Capex Lenders conflicts with the interest of the Term Lenders, it give prevalence to the interests of the Capex Lenders and will act on the basis of their instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary the Term Lenders (and the Agent on their behalf) cannot agree to any amendment of the Term Facility Agreements which may negatively affect the interest of the Capex Lenders and (b) the Capex Lenders (and the Agent on their behalf) cannot agree to any amendment of the Capex and Working Capital Facility Agreement which may affect the interest of the Term Lenders. Governing law The Fund Intercreditor Agreement is governed by Italian law.

84 EXPECTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE NOTES The expected average life of the Notes cannot be predicted, as the actual rate at which the Term Loans amortise and a number of other relevant factors are unknown. Actual performance is subject to factors largely or in some cases (for example, general economic conditions and the condition of the Italian real estate market) entirely outside the control of the Issuer, the Management Company or any party to the Securitisation. Calculated estimates as to the expected average life of the Notes can be made based on certain assumptions. These estimates have certain inherent limitations. No representations are made that such estimates are accurate, nor that all assumptions relating to such estimates have been considered or stated nor that such estimates will be realised. (See also- “Risk factors - Uncertainty of Projected Cash Flows”). The expected weighted average life of the Notes has been calculated based on the following assumptions: - the Notes are issued in June 2006; - disposal plan of properties in accordance with the Business Plan of the Borrower; - refinancing of the Term Loans on the Step-up Date; - no default under the Loan Documents; - no tenant default under the ADD Lease Agreement or other lease agreements; - only principal payments arising from property disposals and cash sweep events are taken into consideration, no indemnity payments or other principal payments have been accounted for; Based on the above assumptions the expected average life of the Class A Notes is 4.0 years and of the Class B Notes is 6.4 years and of the Class C Notes is 6.4 years and of the Class D Notes is 6.4 years, of the Class E Notes is 6.4 years and of the Class E Notes is 6.4 years. In case, there is no refinancing on the step-up date, the expected average life of the Class A Notes is 4.3 years and of the Class B Notes is 8.0 years and of the Class C Notes is 8.0 years and of the Class D Notes is 8.0 years, of the Class E Notes is 8.0 years and of the Class E Notes is 8.0 years.

It is expected that the proceeds deriving from the Term Loans, as securitised assets, will have the capacity to serve the payments due and payable on the Notes. However there is no assurance that the Fund will be able to meet its obligations under the Loan Agreements.
The average lives of the Notes are subject to factors largely outside the control of the Issuer and consequently no assurance can be given that the assumptions and estimates above will prove in any way to be realistic and they must therefore be viewed with considerable caution.
86 THE PROPERTIES The Properties
The Properties transferred to the Fund pursuant to the Coni Deeds of Sale, the Transfer Decree and the Contribution Decree include 75 properties, with a net lettable area of 496,333 square meters. Most of the Properties are self-contained assets utilised by the Public Administration Users. Please note that:
(i) unless specifically stated otherwise, the information below is updated as of 15 December 2005, the date of the Property Appraiser valuation report. A post-closing verification of floor space on 7 Pool A Properties and 2 Pool B Properties has been carried out during the month of January 2006. The results of this verification have not been reflected in the description of the Properties. For additional information regarding the Portfolio updated as of the date of this Offering Circular and the results of the verification, please see “The Properties - Events which occurred after the Initial Appraisal” below;
(ii) the Transfer of the Property with address at Piazza Serenissima, Peschiera del Garda, Verona, Italy, is ineffective due to historical and heritage limitations on its sale, as notified by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (see “The Properties - Other post closing events”), thus if such property is not replaced the Portfolio will be composed by 74 properties;
(iii) the Property Appraiser has carried out a full valuation on all Properties except for the Property with address at Via Cignani 40, Forlì (Italy), for which the valuation was carried out on a desktop basis, without having conducted any physical inspection of the Property and on the basis of limited information.
Valuation Process and Due Diligence by the Property Appraiser
The valuations carried out by the Property Appraiser have been performed in accordance with (i) the criteria set forth by the Bank of Italy and, (ii) the principles of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Standards (V Edition), with the objective of determining:
• Property-by-Property estimated market rental value p.a.;
• Property-by-Property market value (fair market value);
• Portfolio fair market value (i.e., a fair discount that the market would apply to the aggregate of the Market Values of the Properties, were they to be disposed of as a portfolio).
The real estate due diligence process carried out on the Portfolio encompassed the following main activities:
• collection and analysis of all the information and documentation concerning the Properties made available to the Management Company and/or the Property Appraiser;
• on-site visits:
