It is a condition precedent to issuance that the Senior Class A Notes, on issue, be assigned an ‘Aaa’ rating by Moody’s Investors Service Limited (‘Moody’s’) and an ‘AAA’ rating by Fitch Ratings Limited (‘Fitch’) and together with Moody’s the ‘Rating Agencies’) and the Subordinated Class B Notes, on issue, be assigned at least an A3 rating by Moody’s and a A rating by Fitch. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time. For a discussion of some of the risks associated with an investment in the Notes, see Risk factors herein. The Notes will be indirectly secured by a right of pledge by the Issuer over the NHG Mortgage Receivables (the ‘Amstelhuys 2005 NHG Pool’), the Beneficiary Rights in favour of Stichting Security Trustee DARTS Finance II (the ‘Security Trustee’) and a right of pledge over certain of the other assets of the Issuer to the extent such assets are related to the Amstelhuys 2005 NHG Pool. The right to payment of interest and principal on the Subordinated Class B Notes will be subordinated to the Senior Class A Notes and may be limited as more fully described herein. Recourse in respect of the Notes is limited to the Amstelhuys 2005 NHG Pool, any claims of the Issuer under the Relevant Documents and the balances standing to the credit of the Transaction Accounts and there will be no other assets of the Issuer, such as the Amstelhuys 2004 NHG Pool, and any rights in connection therewith, available for any further payments. The Notes of each Class will be initially represented by a temporary global note in bearer form (each a ‘Temporary Global Note’), without coupons, which is expected to be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (‘Euroclear’) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (‘Clearstream, Luxembourg’) on or about the Closing Date. Interests in each Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent global note of the relevant Class (each a ‘Permanent Global Note’), without coupons not earlier than 40 days after the Closing Date upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. Interests in each Permanent Global Note will, in certain limited circumstances, be exchangeable for notes in definitive form in bearer form as described in the Conditions. The expression ‘Global Notes’ means the Temporary Global Note of each Class and the Permanent Global Note of each Class and the expression ‘Global Note’ means each Temporary Global Note or each Permanent Global Note, as the context may require. The Notes will be solely the obligations of the Issuer. The Notes will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or guaranteed by, any other entity or person, in whatever capacity acting, including, without limitation, the Managers, the Floating Rate GIC Provider, the Listing Agent and the Secured Parties or any other person, in whatever capacity acting. No liability whatsoever in respect of any failure by the Issuer to pay any amount due under the Notes will be accepted by the Managers, the Floating Rate GIC Provider, the Listing Agent and the Secured Parties, in whatever capacity acting. None of the Managers, the Floating Rate GIC Provider, the Listing Agent and the Secured Parties will be under any obligation whatsoever to provide additional funds to the Issuer (save in the limited circumstances as described herein). The Issuer has issued notes in 2004 and has the right to issue further notes from time to time, which will not be fungible with the Notes, and use (part of) the proceeds thereof to purchase Eligible Assets, provided that the then current ratings assigned to the Notes will not be adversely affected as a result of the issue of further notes.
