DESCRIPTION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE VF-1 NOTES<br />

The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the VF-1 Notes (the "VF-1 Conditions") to be issued<br />

by the Issuer on the Initial Closing Date. This summary should not be relied upon as an exhaustive description of<br />

the detailed provisions of such VF-1 Conditions and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the trust instrument<br />

constituting the VF-1 Notes to be dated the Initial Closing Date between, among others, the Issuer, the Trustee,<br />

the Security Trustee, the VFN Registrar and the VFN Agent (such trust instrument, together with the Master Trust<br />

Deed, being the "VF-1 Instrument"). This section of the Offering Circular sets out, among other things, a<br />

summary of the VF-1 Conditions and the role of the VFN Agent. Capitalised terms used but not defined below<br />

have the meanings given to them in the Trust Deed. (Copies of the VF-1 Instrument are available from the office<br />

of the VFN Agent specified in the VF-1 Instrument).<br />

The issue of the VF-1 Notes was authorised by resolution of the Issuer’s Board of Managing Directors of the<br />

Issuer dated 20 June 2006.<br />

Commitment<br />

Pursuant to the VF-1 Conditions, each VF-1 Noteholder, from the Initial Closing Date to the VF-1 Commitment<br />

Termination Date, severally, but not jointly, agrees to make Advances to the Issuer equal to its Percentage of the<br />

aggregate amount of any Increase requested by the Issuer from all VF-1 Noteholders. Each VF-1 Noteholder's<br />

VF-1 Commitment and the amount thereof, together with its Percentage, will be set forth in the VFN Register held<br />

by the VFN Registrar. Each Advance shall be denominated in Euros or an Optional Currency. Advances shall<br />

be maintained as Interbank Rate Advances unless the Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager elects for<br />

Advances to be provided by any Conduit Noteholder to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable<br />

Cost of Funds Rate in effect from time to time, and provided further that if such Conduit Noteholder certifies in<br />

writing to the Issuer that it is unable to fund such Advances at the Interbank Rate such Conduit Noteholder may<br />

fund such Advance at the applicable Cost of Funds Rate in effect from time to time. The Issuer may from time to<br />

time borrow, prepay, repay and re-borrow Advances pursuant to the VF-1 Commitments in accordance with the<br />

VF-1 Conditions.<br />

The obligations of the VF-1 Noteholders to make any Advance are subject to the satisfaction of each of the<br />

certain conditions precedent, including:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

(d)<br />

all representations and warranties set forth in each of the Security Documents being true and correct in<br />

all material respects;<br />

no Transaction Default having occurred and been continuing;<br />

the aggregate amount of all Advances outstanding and Advances requested to be made not exceeding<br />

the Maximum Amount at such time (determined after giving effect to the receipt by the Issuer of the<br />

proceeds of the requested Advance(s) and the use by the Issuer on such date of such proceeds); and<br />

in the previous 30 days, the VF-1 Noteholders have funded fewer than five Increases.<br />

In respect of each Increase, the VFN Registrar shall have to have received an Increase Request from (or on<br />

behalf of) the Issuer no later than 2.00pm (London time) not less than three Business Days preceding the date of<br />

the requested Advances. Each of the delivery of any such Increase Request and the acceptance by the Issuer of<br />

the proceeds or other benefits of any Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Issuer that<br />

on the date of such request for an Advance, and immediately before and after giving effect to the application of<br />

any proceeds of any Advances requested thereby, all statements set forth in respect of the above conditions<br />

precedent are true and correct in all material respects.<br />

Interest<br />

equal to the applicable Cost of Funds Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin. The portion of<br />

each Advance that is made either by a VF-1 Noteholder that is not a Conduit Noteholder or by a Conduit<br />

Noteholder which is not funding its participation therein with Commercial Paper Notes shall bear interest during<br />

each VF-1 Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Interbank Rate for such VF-1<br />

Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.<br />

other overdue amount payable under the VF-1 Conditions shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the<br />

interest rate then in effect, plus 1 per cent.<br />
