2.25 Disclosure of Portfolio<br />
The Issuer's audited financial statements will not include a detailed listing of positions held by the Issuer.<br />
Such confidentiality is maintained for the purpose of preventing third parties from using information<br />
concerning the Issuer's positions to its detriment. Examples of ways in which such information could be<br />
used adversely to the Issuer include: (i) to "front run" the Issuer on sales, or additional purchases, of<br />
such positions, (ii) to make it more difficult for the Issuer to protect its positions by withholding, or<br />
causing others to withhold, prospective trades, (iii) to make it difficult to acquire or borrow Issuer<br />
Investments or (iv) otherwise to interfere with the Issuer's investment objectives. For this reason, the<br />
Collateral Manager believes it is important to take extra precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the<br />
positions in the Portfolio. In addition, the Collateral Manager may be required to enter into confidentiality<br />
agreements when purchasing assets which will comprise the Portfolio.<br />
2.26 Lender Liability Considerations<br />
In recent years, a number of judicial decisions in the United States and other jurisdictions have upheld<br />
the right of borrowers to sue lenders or bondholders on the basis of various evolving legal theories<br />
(collectively, termed "lender liability"). Generally, lender liability is founded upon the premise that an<br />
institutional lender or bondholder has violated a duty (whether implied or contractual) of good faith and<br />
fair dealing owed to the borrower or issuer or has assumed a degree of control over the borrower or<br />
issuer resulting in the creation of a fiduciary duty owed to the borrower or issuer or its other creditors or<br />
shareholders. Although it would be a novel application of the lender liability theories, the Issuer may be<br />
subject to allegations of lender liability. However, neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager acting<br />
on its behalf intend to engage in any conduct that would form the basis for a successful cause of action<br />
based upon lender liability.<br />
3. RELATING TO THE NOTES<br />
3.1 Limited Liquidity and Restrictions on Transfer<br />
Although there is currently a market for notes similar to the VF Notes and the Rated Notes there is<br />
currently no market for the VF Notes and the Notes themselves. Although the Placement Agent has<br />
advised the Issuer that it intends to make a market for the VF Notes and the Notes, the Placement<br />
Agent is not obliged to do so, and any such market-making may be discontinued at any time without<br />
notice. There can be no assurance that any secondary market for any of the VF Notes or the Notes will<br />
develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will provide the VF Noteholders or the<br />
Noteholders with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the life of such VF Notes and the Notes<br />
although Holders of Class E Subordinated Notes may exercise an optional redemption right following<br />
the expiry of the Non-Call Period applicable to the Class E Subordinated Notes held by them, subject to<br />
certain restrictions. Consequently, a purchaser of VF Note or a Rated Note must be prepared to hold<br />
such VF Note or Rated Note for an indefinite period of time or until the Maturity Date of such VF Note or<br />
Rated Note and a purchaser of a Class E Subordinated Note must be prepared to hold such Class E<br />
Subordinated Note subject to the limitations on the optional redemption terms imposed thereon and, if<br />
so required, up to the Maturity Date of the Class E Subordinated Notes. In addition, no sale,<br />
assignment, participation, pledge or transfer of the VF Notes or the Notes may be effected if, among<br />
other things, it would require the Issuer or any of its officers or directors to register under, or otherwise<br />
be subject to the provisions of, the Investment Company Act or any other similar legislation or regulatory<br />
action. Furthermore, the VF Notes and the Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any<br />
U.S. state securities laws, and the Issuer has no plans, and is under no obligation, to register the<br />
VF Notes or the Notes under the Securities Act. The VF Notes and the Notes are subject to certain<br />
transfer restrictions and can be transferred only to certain transferees (see the sections of this Offering<br />
Circular headed "Plan of Distribution" and "Transfer Restrictions"). Such restrictions on the transfer of<br />
the Notes may further limit their liquidity.<br />
3.2 Limited Recourse Obligations<br />
The VF Notes and the Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and are payable solely from<br />
amounts received in respect of the Collateral securing the VF Notes and the Notes. Payments on the<br />
VF Notes and the Notes both prior to and following enforcement of the security over the Collateral are<br />
subordinated to the prior payment of certain fees and expenses of, or payable by, the Issuer and to<br />
payment of principal and interest on the VF Notes and prior ranking Classes of Notes and other<br />
Transaction Creditors (see Condition 4(c) (Limited Recourse)). None of the Collateral Manager, the<br />
Noteholders of any Class, the Placement Agent, any Secured Hedging Counterparty, the Trustee, the<br />
Security Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Custodian, the Registrar, any Agent or any Affiliates<br />
of any of the foregoing, the Issuer's Affiliates or any other person or entity (other than the Issuer) will be<br />
obliged to make payments on the VF Notes or the Notes of any Class. Consequently, VF Noteholders<br />
and Noteholders must rely solely on distributions in respect of, and liquidation proceeds of, Collateral<br />
securing the VF Notes and the Notes for the payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, thereon.<br />
There can be no assurance that the distributions on, or the sale proceeds of, the Collateral received and<br />
amounts received under the Secured Hedging Transactions will be sufficient to make payments on the<br />
