EU Risk Retention: Each Seller has undertaken that, during the life of the Class A Notes, it shall comply with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 and therefore retain on an ongoing basis a material net economic interest in the transaction which, in any event, shall not be less than 5%.

US Risk Retention: The Sellers do not intend to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the securitised assets for purposes of compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules based on an exemption from such rules and as the issuance of the Notes was not designed to comply with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, as permitted by the exemption provided under Section 20 of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules.
