behalf of an AIF). In cases where the risk of default of an All Ira an AIFM acting on behalf of an AIFI is attributed for economic
cases to the Borrower, this may constitute prohibited indirect lending and guarantee business. The lending or guarantee
business could potentially be attributed to an AIF (or an AIFM acting on behalf of an All) if there is a contagion risk between

behalf of an All), e.g. as entity controlling the Borrower, has unlimited recourse to the assets of the Borrower, or if the AIF has
assumed any liability in the event of default in respect of the liabilities of the Borrower under the loan or guarantee transaction.
