Replacement of VF-1 Noteholders<br />

In the event that any VF-1 Noteholder (a) charges to the Issuer increased costs in excess of those generally<br />

charged pursuant to accepted market practice, (b) becomes incapable pursuant to the VF-1 Conditions of making<br />

Advances at a time when market entities which are similar to the VF-1 Noteholders are making loans similar to<br />

such Advances, (c) becomes a Defaulting VF-1 Noteholder or (d) suffers a ratings downgrade below certain<br />

levels, the Issuer shall have the right, if no Transaction Default then exists, to replace such VF-1 Noteholder (the<br />

"Replaced Noteholder") with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees or other Person<br />

reasonably acceptable to the VFN Agent, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting VF-1 Noteholder at the time<br />

of such replacement (a "Replacement Noteholder"); provided that (i) at the time of any replacement, the<br />

Replacement Noteholder shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to which the<br />

Replacement Noteholder shall acquire all of the VF-1 Commitments and outstanding Advances of the Replaced<br />

Noteholder and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Noteholder in respect thereof an amount<br />

equal to the sum of (1) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Advances of the Replaced<br />

Noteholder and (2) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Noteholder pursuant to the<br />

VF-1 Conditions, and (ii) all obligations of the Issuer hereunder owing to the Replaced Noteholder (other than<br />

those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is<br />

concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full by the Issuer to such Replaced Noteholder concurrently with such<br />

replacement. Upon the execution (or deemed execution) of the respective Assignment Agreements, the payment<br />

of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the registration of the assignment on the VFN Register and, if<br />

so requested by the Replacement Noteholder, delivery to the Replacement Noteholder of the appropriate VF-1<br />

Notes executed by the Issuer, the Replacement Noteholder shall become a VF-1 Noteholder under the VF-1<br />

Conditions and the Replaced Noteholder shall cease to constitute a VF-1 Noteholder, except with respect to<br />

indemnification provisions applicable to the Replaced Noteholder under the VF-1 Conditions relating to the period<br />

prior to the replacement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Noteholder.<br />

Consequences of VF-1 Noteholder Ratings Downgrade<br />

In the event that, while any VF-1 Commitment is in effect: (a) the short-term S&P issuer credit rating of any VF-1<br />

Noteholder shall at any time be below "A-1" (or, in the case of a Conduit Noteholder, such Conduit Noteholder<br />

does not have either (A) a short-term S&P issuer credit rating of "A-1+" or (B) a liquidity facility provider or<br />

funding conduit acting as a committed lender whose short-term S&P issuer credit rating is at least "A-1") and<br />

such VF-1 Noteholder's obligations are not guaranteed by entities with such ratings; or (b) the long-term Moody's<br />

senior unsecured rating of any VF-1 Noteholder shall at any time be below "Baa1" (or, in the case of a Conduit<br />

Noteholder, such Conduit Noteholder does not have a short-term Moody's rating of "P-1") and such VF-1<br />

Noteholder's obligations are not guaranteed by entities with a short-term Moody's rating of "P-1" or a long-term<br />

Moody's senior unsecured rating of at least A2, the Issuer may at its option upon at least ten Business Days'<br />

notice to the VFN Agent and such VF-1 Noteholder, replace such VF-1 Noteholder.<br />

Voting<br />

Subject to the right of the Controlling Class to direct enforcement of the Transaction Documents against the<br />

Collateral pursuant to the Intercreditor Arrangements and the subordination restrictions therein, if an Event of<br />

Default (other than an Event of Default specified in paragraph (x) or (xi) of the definition of “Event of Default” in<br />

the Base Conditions) occurs and is continuing all outstanding principal of the VF Notes and Notes together with<br />

all premium and interest accrued thereon, shall be accelerated and shall be due and payable unless the VF<br />

Noteholders and the Noteholders rescind the same pursuant to resolutions being passed at meetings of the VF<br />

Noteholders and Noteholders, which the Controlling Class Agent shall procure are convened within 10 days of<br />

the occurrence of such Event of Default (notwithstanding the notice of meetings provisions in the Base<br />

Conditions or the VF-1 Conditions (if any)). If at any time there is a Majority Senior Holder, at any meeting at<br />

which an Extraordinary Resolution is tabled, the majority of votes required to ensure that such Extraordinary<br />

Resolution is passed shall be 90 per cent. of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the VF-1 Notes that<br />

is (a) actually represented at such meeting and are entitled to be voted or (b) in the case of a Written Resolution,<br />

entitled to be voted in respect of such Extraordinary Resolution.<br />

Miscellaneous<br />

The VF-1 Conditions include provisions for payments in respect of indemnities and other provisions dealing in the<br />

matters commonly dealt with in loan agreements by banks in the United Kingdom.<br />

For the purposes of this section of the Offering Circular the following terms have the following meanings:<br />

"Advance" means a Euro Advance or an Optional Currency Advance, as the context may require.<br />

"Applicable Margin" with respect to each VF-1 Noteholder, shall have the meaning set forth in its VF-1<br />
