PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION<br />

IXIS Securities North America Inc. (in its capacity as the Placement Agent) has, pursuant to the Note Placement<br />

Agency Agreement, agreed with the Issuer, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to use reasonable<br />

efforts to sell on behalf of the Issuer, the VF-1 Notes, the Class A-1 Notes, the Class B-1 Notes, the Class C-1<br />

Notes, the Class D-1 Notes, the Class E-1a Preferred Subordinated Notes, the Class E-1b Subordinated Notes<br />

and the Class E-2 Subordinated Notes, in each case, at the issue price of 100 per cent. (less underwriting and<br />

subscription fees to be agreed between the Issuer and Placement Agent). The Note Placement Agency<br />

Agreement entitles the Placement Agent to terminate it in certain circumstances prior to payment being made to<br />

the Issuer.<br />

In connection with the offering, the Placement Agent, in its capacity as Stabilising Agent, may over-allot or effect<br />

transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the VF-1 Notes and the Notes at a level higher than<br />

that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Initial Closing Date. However, there will be no<br />

obligation on the Stabilising Agent to do this. Such stabilising, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time<br />

and must be brought to an end after a limited period. Such stabilising shall be in compliance with all applicable<br />

laws, regulations and rules.<br />

It is a condition of the issuance of the VF-1 Notes and the Specified Notes of each Class that the VF-1 Notes and<br />

the Specified Notes of each other Class be issued in the following principal amounts: VF-1 Notes:<br />

€408.250.000, Class A-1 Notes: €100,000,000, Class B-1 Notes: €6,250,000, Class C-1 Notes: €12,250,000,<br />

Class D-1 Notes: €12,250,000, Class E-1a Preferred Subordinated Notes: €40,000,000, Class E-1b<br />

Subordinated Notes: €41,000,000 and Class E-2 Subordinated Notes: €4,000,000.<br />

The Issuer has agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator,<br />

the Trustee and certain other participants against certain liabilities or to contribute to payments they may be<br />

required to make in respect thereof.<br />

Certain Issuer Investments may have been originally underwritten or placed by the Placement Agent. In addition,<br />

the Placement Agent may have in the past performed and may in the future perform investment banking services<br />

or other services for issuers of the Issuer Investments. In addition, the Placement Agent and its Affiliates may<br />

from time to time as a principal or through one or more investment funds that it or they manage, make<br />

investments in the equity securities of one or more of the issuers of the Issuer Investments, with a result that one<br />

or more of such issuers may be or may become controlled by the Placement Agent or its Affiliates.<br />

No action has been or will be taken by the Issuer or the Placement Agent that would permit a public offering of<br />

the VF Notes or the Notes or possession or distribution of this Offering Circular or any other offering material in<br />

relation to the VF Notes or the Notes in any jurisdiction where action for the purpose is required. No offers, sales<br />

or deliveries of any VF Notes or Notes or distribution of this Offering Circular or any other offering material<br />

relating to the VF Notes or the Notes, may be made in or from any jurisdiction, except in circumstances which will<br />

result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on the Issuer or<br />

the Placement Agent.<br />

The VF Notes and the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be<br />

offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons or to U.S.<br />

residents (as determined for purposes of the Investment Company Act) ("U.S. Residents") except in certain<br />

transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in a manner<br />

so as not to require the registration of the Issuer as an "investment company" pursuant to the Investment<br />

Company Act.<br />

The Issuer has been advised by the Placement Agent that (a) the Placement Agent proposes to resell the<br />

VF Notes and the Notes outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons in offshore transactions in reliance on<br />

Regulation S and in accordance with applicable law and (b) the Placement Agent proposes to resell the VF Notes<br />

and the Notes in the United States through its agent, in reliance on Rule 144A only to purchasers for their own<br />

account or for the accounts of QIBs, each of which purchasers or account holders is a Qualified Purchaser for<br />

purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.<br />

The VF Notes or the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A will be issued in minimum denominations of €250,000<br />

and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. Any offer or sale of Rule 144A Notes in reliance on Rule 144A<br />

will be made by broker-dealers who are registered as such under the <strong>Exchange</strong> Act. After the VF Notes and the<br />

Notes are released for sale, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the<br />

Placement Agent.<br />

The Placement Agent has acknowledged and agreed that it will not offer, sell or deliver any Regulation S Notes,<br />

or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person or U.S. Resident as part of their distribution at any time and that<br />

it will send to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration to which<br />

it sells Regulation S Notes, a confirmation or other notice setting forth the prohibition on offers and sales of the<br />

Regulation S Notes within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person or U.S.<br />

Resident.<br />
