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 />
