will be to enable the Custodian, on enforcement, to sell the securities in the pledged account on behalf<br />

of the Security Trustee. Such Belgian law pledge will not entitle the Security Trustee to require delivery<br />

of the relevant securities from the depositary or depositaries that have physical custody of such<br />

securities or allow the Security Trustee to rehypothecate such securities.<br />

However, the English law charge and Belgian law pledge created pursuant to the Security Documents<br />

may be insufficient to secure or ineffective in securing the Issuer Investments which are securities for<br />

the benefit of VF Noteholders and Noteholders, particularly in the event of any insolvency or liquidation<br />

of the Custodian or any sub-custodian that has priority over the right of the Issuer to require delivery of<br />

such assets from the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement. Any risk of loss<br />

arising from any insufficiency or ineffectiveness of the security for the VF Notes or Notes must be borne<br />

by the VF Noteholders or Noteholders without recourse to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Security Trustee,<br />

the Placement Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or any other party.<br />

In addition, custody and clearance risks may be associated with Issuer Investments which are securities<br />

that do not clear through DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. There is a risk, for example, that<br />

such securities could be counterfeit, or subject to a defect in title or claims to ownership by other parties.<br />

Fixed Security<br />

Although the English law security constituted by the Security Documents over the Issuer Investments<br />

held from time to time, including the security over the Accounts, is expressed to take effect as fixed<br />

security, it may (as a result of the substitutions of Issuer Investments contemplated by the Collateral<br />

Management Agreement and the payments to be made from the Accounts in accordance with the<br />

Conditions and the Trust Deed) take effect as a floating charge which, in particular, would rank after a<br />

subsequently created fixed security interest. However, the Issuer has covenanted not to create any<br />

such subsequent security interests without the consent of the Trustee.<br />

Governing Law of Portfolio<br />

The Security Documents other than the Pledge Agreement (which will be governed by Belgian law) will<br />

be governed by English law. Some of the Issuer Investments may be obligations governed by laws of<br />

jurisdiction other than England (or, as the case may be, Belgium) and which may require different and/or<br />

additional procedures and/or documentation to create or perfect any security interest.<br />

2.20 Event-Orientated Trading and Special Situation Investments<br />

The Collateral Manager may cause the Issuer to engage in event-orientated trading and investment in<br />

special situation investments, which often involve the purchase of a company's securities after the<br />

company's announcement of a significant event.<br />

The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer may invest and trade in securities of companies that it<br />

believes are undervalued because, although such companies are not the subject of an announced<br />

tender offer, merger or acquisition transaction, in the Collateral Manager's view such companies are<br />

likely candidates for such a transaction. In such a case, if the anticipated transaction does not in fact<br />

occur, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may sell the securities at a loss.<br />

The Issuer may, invest in securities of issuers in weak financial condition, experiencing poor operating<br />

results, having substantial capital needs or negative net worth, facing special competitive or product<br />

obsolescence problems, or that are involved in bankruptcy or reorganisation proceedings. Investments<br />

of this type may involve financial and business risks that can result in losses. Among the risks inherent<br />

in investments in troubled entities is the inability to obtain information as to the true condition of such<br />

issuers. Such investments may also be affected adversely by laws relating to, among other things,<br />

fraudulent transfers and other voidable transfers or payments, lender liability and the courts' power to<br />

disallow, reduce, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims. The market prices of such securities<br />

are also subject to abrupt and erratic market movements and above-average price volatility, and the<br />

spread between the bid and asked prices of such securities may be greater than normally expected with<br />

respect to non-troubled issuers. It may take a number of years for the market price of such securities to<br />

reflect their intrinsic value.<br />

Securities of financially troubled companies require active monitoring and may, at times, require<br />

participation in bankruptcy or reorganisation proceedings by the Collateral Manager. To the extent that<br />

the Collateral Manager becomes involved in such proceedings, the Issuer may have a more active<br />

participation in the affairs of the issuer than that assumed generally by an investor.<br />

In liquidation (both in and out of bankruptcy) and other forms of corporate reorganisation, there exists<br />

the risk that the reorganisation either will be unsuccessful (due to, for example, failure to obtain requisite<br />

approvals), will be delayed (for example, until various liabilities, actual or contingent, have been<br />

satisfied) or will result in a distribution of cash or a new security the value of which will be less than the<br />

purchase price to the Issuer of the security in respect of which such distribution was made.<br />
