5	SALE, PURCHASE AND ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLES AND TRANSFER OF RELATED RIGHTS

5.1

The Client herewith assigns (abtreten) to FGI, who accepts the same, (i) all Receivables owing to the Client at the Commencement Date and (ii) all its Receivables arising during the life of this Agreement, and herewith transfers and assigns to FGI, who accepts the same, all Related Rights in respect of these Receivables. FGI shall own the Receivables and any Related Rights from the Commencement Date or as soon as they come into existence even if not yet entered in the books or records of the Client as due to the Client. The foregoing assignment is done unconditional and irrespective of whether the Receivables (together with the RelatedRights) are sold by the Clients to FGI or not. The assignment of any Receivables which are not also being contractually (schuldrechtlich) sold (verkauft) to FGI under the terms of this Agreement (and in particular Clause 5.2 below) as well as any Receivables which had been sold by the Clients to FGI but which have been repurchased by the Clients from FGI pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (and in particular Clause 8.2 below) shall be an assignment to FGI and shall remain assigned to FGI based on terms of an assignment for security purpose (Sicherungsabtretung) and shall secure all claims of FGI against members of the Group in connection with the Finance Documents. The contractual terms (schuldrechtliche Sicherungsvereinbarung) - i.e. not the assignment as such - of the Global Security Assignment Agreement shall apply in addition to this Agreement mutatis mutandis to the security assignments completed hereunder.


5.2	By this Agreement, the Client shall be obliged to offer to sell (verkaufen) to FGI Eligible Receivables together with all their Related Rights:

(i) that are owed to the Client at the Commencement Date; or


(ii)	arising after the Commencement Date during the life of this Agreement, in each case within ten (10) Business Days following the respective Receivable coming into existence or in such other manner as FGI may direct from time to time, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred.


5.3	Such an offer will be unconditional and made in writing in the form set out in Schedule 5 (Form of Offer) or such other form as agreed between the Parties from time to time, and shall specify in particular the offered Receivables. The Client shall submit to FGI, together with the offer, in a form as required by FGI or otherwise acceptable

to FGI, further documents allowing undisputable identification of each of the offered Receivables, including invoices and/or underlying Supply Contracts or purchase orders from Customers.


5.4	The decision whether to accept or decline any offer shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of FGI, and nothing in this Agreement shall oblige FGI to purchase any Receivable and its Related Rights at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, neither by an acceptance nor by declining of an offer shall FGI become a party to or liable in respect of any Supply Contract.


5.5	In case FGI decides not to purchase a certain Receivable, it shall ▇▇▇▇ such Receivable as "rejected" in the Assigned Receivables Account. As long as FGI has not made such decision, the respective offer by the Client that FGI purchases the respective Receivable remains valid.

5.6

In case FGI decides to accept the offer to purchase a certain Receivable, it shall accept the offer by marking such Receivable as "accepted" in the Assigned Receivables Account (each such Receivable thereupon a "Purchased Receivable"). As the Client has access to the Assigned Receivables Account and can thus review the status of each Receivable at any time, the Client herewith waives any further formal requirement to receive an acceptance declaration (Verzicht auf den Zugang der Annahmeerklärung).


5.7	An assigned Purchased Receivable will, upon acceptance (Annahme) by FGI pursuant to Clause 5.6 above of the Client's offer to sell (verkaufen), become wholly owned by FGI, and shall cease to be subject to any security purpose restrictions under this Agreement or the Global Security Assignment Agreement.

5.8

If FGI so requires at any time, the Clients will promptly and at their own expense execute, stamp (if appropriate) and deliver to FGI written confirmations of assignment of any Receivable and/or its Related Rights, in such form as FGI may require, deliver to FGI any documents, agreements, instruments, policies, records or data relating to any Receivable and/or its Related Rights and/or take any other action necessary to perfect the assignment or transfer to FGI of, or FGI's title to, any Receivable (and/or its Related Rights) and, if FGI so requires, the Clients will promptly give written or other notice in a form and manner that FGI approves to any Customer whose Receivable has been assigned in this way.


5.9	Receivables Subject to Extended Retention of Title:

(a)

If Receivables are security assigned pursuant hereto which are subject to extended retention of title arrangements (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) in favour of the suppliers of the Client, the assignment of such security assigned Receivables shall only become effective with the extinction of such retention of title arrangements. As long as any person is only partly entitled to the assigned Receivables as a result of such person’s retention of title arrangement, the assignment of such assigned Receivables to FGI hereunder shall be limited to the part of the assigned Receivable to which FGI is entitled. The other part of

the assigned Receivable will transfer to FGI at such time as that part is no longer affected by such retention of title arrangements.

(b)

Each Client hereby assigns to FGI, who accepts such assignments, its respective right to reassignment of the assigned Receivables assigned to a person by reason of extended retention of title arrangements as well as any contingent claims to the transfer of all proceeds paid out to such person, together with all rights pertaining thereto. The same applies to any possible expectancy right (Anwartschaftsrecht) with respect to the assignment of any assigned Receivables which are subject to a condition subsequent (auflösende Bedingung).


(c)	Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event which is continuing, FGI shall be entitled to extinguish any retention of title arrangements by satisfying the holder thereof.


5.10	Perfection of Assignment and Transfer


(a)	In case the transfer of ownership of the purchased Receivables together with all Related Rights did not validly occur in full, the relevant Client shall, at its own cost, take all legally possible action necessary or advisable to effect such transfer.


(b)	Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing the following shall apply in addition to the other provisions of this Agreement: In the event that title to, or any rights in respect of, the Related Rights cannot be transferred from the Client to FGI by simple agreement as set out in the Agreement, the Client and FGI agree as follows:

(i) In the case of the Related Rights being governed by German law:


(A)	Any transfer of possession which is necessary for the transfer of ownership, in particular, in respect of any potential retention of title (Vorbehaltseigentum) in respect of items in the possession of third parties, shall be replaced as follows:


(1)	In the case that the items which are Related Rights are in the direct possession of the Client, the Client shall as a trustee (als Treuhänder) keep such goods safe and hold such items free of charge on behalf of FGI;


(2)	In the case that the Client has indirect possession or any other claim for return of an item being part of the Related Rights, the Client hereby assigns to FGI all claims for return of such Related Rights and FGI hereby accepts such assignment;


(3)	to the extent the transferred items serve as security for assigned Receivables, FGI shall re-transfer, re-assign and release such items if and when the Client is obligated to do so pursuant to the terms of the underlying transaction.

(B)

All other necessary actions, consents, entries, registrations, notifications or formal requirements shall be taken, obtained, made or complied with by the Client at its expense. The Client will be strictly liable (verschuldensunabhängig) for all damages and consequential damages resulting from the failure to take, obtain, make, or comply with, any necessary action, consent, entry, registration, notification or formal requirements.

(ii) In the case of the Related Rights being governed by any other law:

(A)

The Client shall at its expense promptly and duly take all action necessary in the relevant jurisdiction, obtain all consents, make all entries and registrations, issue all notifications and/or comply with all formal requirements as well as make and receive all declarations as are required for the transfer of ownership in the Related Rights to FGI. The Client shall be strictly liable (verschuldensunabhängig) for all damages and consequential damages resulting from the failure to so take any action, obtain any consent, make any entry or registration, issue any notifications or comply with any formal requirements or the failure to make or receive any declarations;


(B)	to the extent contemplated or permitted by the relevant jurisdiction, the aforementioned paragraphs (i) (A) and (i) (B) shall apply mutatis mutandis;


(iii)	without affecting the obligations of the Client under this Clause 5.5 and to the extent contemplated or permitted by the relevant jurisdiction, the Client hereby authorises FGI to exercise all rights of the respective Client in such Client's name with respect to the Related Rights which have not been transferred under this Agreement.


(c)	To the extent that title or other rights relating to a purchased Receivable have not been fully assigned to FGI by the assignments contemplated by this Agreement, this Clause shall, without affecting any other rights and powers of FGI, apply mutatis mutandis to the extent legally possible.


(d)	For the avoidance of doubt: Transfer of title to the relevant Receivables and Related Rights as contemplated herein is not subject to a condition (keine aufschiebende Bedingung der Kaufpreiszahlung) of payment of the purchase price therefore.


6	NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMERS OF ASSIGNMENT

Each Client:


6.1	shall, in respect of each Receivable existing on the Commencement Date, notify the relevant Customer and credit insurers in writing, by means of a Notification Letter, of the assignment created by this Receivables Purchase Agreement and

7.2	Separate Notification of certain Receivables

(j)	the Receivable is subject to any offset, deduction, defence, dispute, or counterclaim, or the Customer is also a creditor or supplier of a Client or the Receivable is contingent in any respect or for any reason;

8.2	Recourse for Ineligible Receivables


(a)	FGI may require a Client, at any time after FGI has served a written notice (a "Repurchase Notice") on that Client, to repurchase immediately any Ineligible Receivable.

(b)

Each Repurchase Notice will set out in reasonable detail the description of each Receivable to be repurchased and the repurchase price applicable to each such Receivable. The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) to be paid by the Client to FGI shall be determined by FGI and shall be equal to the Purchase Price, to the extent that it has been paid by FGI to the Client (including by way of set-off or otherwise as contemplated in this Agreement) and minus any remittances which have been applied by FGI for its own purposes.

(c)

FGI shall change the ▇▇▇▇ in respect of such Purchased Receivable in the Assigned Receivables Account from "accepted" to "rejected" and shall charge the amount of the Repurchase Price to the Reserve Account. Following such a repurchase, the respective Purchased Receivables will remain to be Assigned Receivable and serve as security for any claims of FGI against the Client in accordance with the rules set out above in Clause 5.1 in respect of repurchased Receivables.


(d)	After the payment of the Repurchase Price FGI will credit the relevant Reserve Account of the Client all sums subsequently received or recovered by FGI in relation to that Receivable (without double counting).


(e)	Subject to the terms of this Agreement, FGI has an additional right to require a Client to repurchase any Receivable at any time in its absolute discretion, whether or not the relevant Client is in breach of its obligations under this Deed.


8.3	No Recourse for Default Risk for FGI Risk Amount

The Parties agree that FGI shall assume the Default Risk in respect of each Purchased Receivable up to the FGI Risk Amount of the Purchased Receivable, and FGI hereby expressly agrees to bear such risk (Delkredererisiko). FGI acquires from the Client the FGI Risk Amount of each Purchased Receivable on a non-recourse basis, so that under no circumstances shall FGI be entitled to claim from the Client repayment of the FGI Risk Amount, and the Client shall not be liable for the failure of a Customer to pay such amount lawfully owed in respect of Purchased Receivables.

However, FGI is entitled to charge any Defaulted Receivables (irrespective of which Client has sold the relevant Receivable to FGI) to the Reserve Account and thereby reduce the Deferred Purchase Price owed to any of the Clients from time to time hereunder (and, in case that any Deferred Purchase Price is paid (including by way of set-off or otherwise) in an amount not owed because of subsequently any relevant Receivable having become a Defaulted Receivable. Such amounts shall be reimbursed by the Clients to FGI and shall be charged to the Reserve Account.


8.4	Recourse for Default Risk for Client Risk Amount

In respect of each Purchased Receivable, the Default Risk in respect of the Client Risk Amount shall remain with the Client, and the purchase by FGI of the respective part of each Purchased Receivable shall be made on a with-recourse basis.

The Clients acknowledge that the Deferred Purchase Prices owed to them may be reduced by Client Risk Amounts materialising in respect of the other Client and agree not to take internal recourse between themselves for such Client Risk Amounts.

8.5

The part of each Purchased Receivable which has been acquired by FGI on a non-recourse basis shall be ranking prior to the part of the Purchased Receivable which has been acquired by FGI on a with-recourse basis, and any collections received by FGI in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be applied firstly to the part of the Purchased Receivable which has been acquired by FGI on a non-recourse basis, and thereafter to the remaining part of the Purchased Receivable.


8.6	In case a Purchased Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable fully or in part, FGI will charge to the Reserve Account the respective amount of the Defaulted Receivable. As far as FGI has not yet paid the Purchase Price for the respective Receivable to the Client, FGI will set-off the respective claims against each other.


8.7	For the avoidance of doubt, any further rights of FGI against the Client under clauses 15 and 16 below shall remain in place unaffected by this clause 8.


9	PURCHASE PRICE AND ACCOUNTING


9.1	Calculation and Payment of Purchase Price

The Purchase Price for a Purchased Receivable shall be the face value of such Purchased Receivable less (A) any Discount and Administration Fee in respect of such Receivable and (B) less, but not for the purpose of calculating the Initial Purchase Price, (i) any discount, commission, credit, set-off or other deduction allowed or allowable by the relevant Client to the Customer, (ii) if that Receivable is payable other than in US Dollars, any charges for collecting and/or converting as appropriate in accordance with clause 25.4 (Miscellaneous) and (iii) such other adjustments as FGI is permitted to make in accordance with this Deed, and shall become due and payable, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as follows:


(a)	The Initial Purchase Price in respect of any Purchased Receivable shall become due on the Purchase Date of such Purchased Receivable. FGI will also record the amount of the Initial Purchase Price on the Funds In Use Account.

(b)

The Deferred Purchase Price in respect of any Purchase Receivable shall become due upon receipt of amounts in excess of the Initial Purchase Price or at the time when the Purchased Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, whereby in the latter case to the extent the Default Risk remains with the Client, the Deferred Purchase Price shall not be paid but be settled in accordance with clause 8.6 (Ineligible Receivables, Default Risk and repurchase). FGI will also record the amount of the Deferred Purchase Price, to the extent this is resulting from Customer payments, to the Reserve Account. The Deferred Purchase Price for any of the Receivables shall only become payable if no other Receivables have become or may become Defaulted Receivables or will be charged as Defaulted Receivables to the Reserve Account. The Reserves established pursuant to the Deferred Purchase Price mechanism shall cover all defaults of any and all Purchased Receivables and irrespective of which Client has sold such Receivables to FGI.

9.2

The Purchase Price of a Purchased Receivable will be denominated in the same currency as the Receivable, if that currency is an Approved Currency; or in any other case, such currency as FGI may agree. Payments in respect of the Purchase Price shall be made into the relevant Seller's Account, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in particular clause 9.9 (Purchase Price and accounting) below.


9.3	At any stage during the term of this Agreement, FGI will operate the Accounts for the Clients.

9.4

FGI shall at any time be entitled to settle its claims against the Clients for payment of any Discount, Fees, costs and expenses or any other payment claims due and payable to FGI under the Finance Documents by way of set-off against payment claims due to the Clients from FGI. The Reserve Accounts shall have the function of a rolling account (Kontokorrent) settling such mutual claims. Upon its being recorded to the Reserve Accounts, each individual claim shall be combined with the other claims accounted on the Reserve Accounts, and instead of the respective individual claims at any time there shall only be one payment claim in the amount of the balance of the Reserve Accounts which shall be either owed to FGI or to the Client.


9.5	Upon request from FGI, the Client shall promptly pay to FGI the negative balance (excluding any portions of a negative balances which may arise because of the

aggregate amount of all Defaulted Receivables which are not Ineligible Receivables exceeding the aggregated amount of all Client Risk Amounts), if any, in respect of the Reserve Accounts, and upon receipt of any such payment FGI shall record this payment on the Reserve Accounts to adjust the balance accordingly.


9.6	Reserve Accounts


(a)	FGI shall be entitled in its sole discretion, to apply the Required Reserve Amount to the Reserve Accounts from time to time if FGI deems it necessary to do so in order to protect FGI's legitimate interests.


(b)	If at any time, the balance standing to the credit of the Reserve Account is less than the Required Reserve Amount, the Client shall, on demand, make such payment into the Reserve Account as FGI requires in order to ensure that the credit balance on the Reserve Account is not less than the Required Reserve Amount.

9.7

FGI shall credit an amount equal to each remittance received by it for a Receivable of a Client to the Reserve Account (and debit an equal amount to the Funds In Use Account) no later than the Collection Date. Any resulting balance standing to the credit of the Reserve Account shall, to the extent that it comprises the unpaid balance of the Purchase Price, be paid to the relevant Client on a weekly basis, subject always to the terms of this Deed, provided that payment of such balance shall not cause the Facility Limit to be exceeded and taking into account that and subject to the Reserve Account also serving as a security for FGI to secure any claims FGI has against the Client in accordance with the Finance Documents and shall also serve as Reserve for Defaulted Receivables in respect of the Client Risk Amount. In the event of any remittance which was treated by FGI as being received being cancelled afterwards, FGI is entitled to cancel and undo the previous crediting and/or debiting of the relevant amounts.


9.8	The Client will not be entitled to request or receive any payment from FGI under clause 9.7 above:


(a)	if such payment is in excess of Availability;


(b)	to the extent that the relevant payment would result in the aggregate outstanding amount of all payments from FGI at any time exceeding the Facility Limit;


(c)	if the Client is Insolvent; or


(d)	at any time at which FGI is entitled to terminate this Agreement under clause 19.3 whether or not FGI actually exercises any such right.


9.9	FGI will make payments to the Client to a bank account (which must, unless FGI agrees otherwise in its absolute discretion, be an account in the Client's name and maintained with a German branch of any major bank or financial institution) by such method of transmission as FGI may approve from time to time.


9.10	It is the Clients' responsibility to ensure that the bank account to which such payment is to be transmitted under clause 9.7 above is suitable for the receipt of funds in the relevant currency. FGI will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Client

in the event that the bank or other institution at which such account is maintained declines to accept a payment transmitted to it in that currency.


9.11	FGI will record on the Reserve Account each amount paid to the Client under clause 9.1 on the Business Day on which FGI gives instructions to its bankers to transmit that payment to the Client's account under clause 9.9 above.


9.12	Currencies


(a)	Discount, Administration Fees, Misdirected Payment Fee, Non-Utilisation Fee and other fees specified in clause 10 (Fees) will be denominated, calculated and applied in US Dollars unless FGI otherwise agrees.


(b)	All other costs, charges and expenses will be denominated in the currency in which they arise unless otherwise expressly provided in this Deed or FGI otherwise agrees.

(c)

Where a sum is to be debited or credited to the Assigned Receivables Account, the Funds In Use Account or the Reserve Account, such sum shall be denominated in US Dollars, which will to the extent necessary for this purpose be computed by reference to the spot rate of exchange of FGI's Bankers on the date of such debit or credit, but at its discretion FGI may provisionally apply the rate ruling on the date it receives the Notification relating to that Receivable, making such subsequent adjustments as may be necessary.


10	FEES

The Clients shall pay to FGI:


(a)	the Closing Fee on the Commencement Date (or as otherwise agreed in writing with FGI); and


(b)	all other fees and expenses set out in this clause 10 (Fees) on the due date for payment and otherwise in accordance with the terms specified in this Deed.

and will be debited from the Reserve Account on the last day of each calendar month.


10.3	Administration Fee

The Administration Fee will be calculated on the Notified Value of each Receivable for each month (or part of a month) falling within the period beginning on the date of each invoice relating to a Receivable and ending on the Collection Date for that Receivable, such calculation to be made as of the Collection Date and paid by either debit to the Reserve Account or such other method of payment as FGI may require.


10.4	Early Termination Fee

10.5	Non-Utilisation Fee

The Non-Utilisation Fee (if any) shall be calculated monthly, commencing on the Commencement Date. FGI shall debit the Non-Utilisation Fee to the Reserve Account on the last Business Day of each calendar month in which it accrues.

The Non-Utilisation Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

N% X F = NUF

where:

N% is the Non-Utilisation Fee Percentage


F	is the amount by which average Funds in Use during any calendar month are less than Net Funds Employed.

NUF is the Non-Utilisation Fee.

11	COLLECTION


11.1	Collection of Receivables


(a)	From the Commencement Date, but subject to clause 11.1(b) below, FGI shall have the sole and exclusive right to collect and enforce payment of every Receivable other than Receivables repurchased by a Client.


(b)	FGI's rights pursuant to clause 11.1(a) above are subject always to the fact that, FGI hereby appoints each Client as the agent of FGI, until notice to the contrary pursuant to clause 11.1(e) and for the purpose of administering the accounts of Customers and procuring the collection of Receivables for the benefit of FGI.


(c)	Each Client hereby accepts such appointment and undertakes:


(i)	to act promptly and efficiently in carrying out the tasks in relation to which it is FGI’s agent;


(ii)	at its expense, at its own responsibility and in its own name, to collect for the account of FGI all amounts due from the Customers in respect of purchased Receivables, including taking measures for the compulsory enforcement of amounts due;


(iii)	not to hold itself out as an agent of FGI for any other purpose;


(iv)	to adhere to the debt collection procedures of the Client in force at, and notified to and approved by FGI, on or before the Commencement Date and to obtain the prior written consent of FGI to any proposed variations to such procedures;


(v)	by such date in each calendar month as FGI may direct, to provide to FGI copies of such records, statements and accounts of Customers and such reconciliations to the Assigned Receivables Account of the relevant Client as FGI may reasonably require;

(d)

For this purpose, the Client is hereby authorised to ▇▇▇ the relevant Customers before any court (gewillkürte Prozeßstandschaft) in any jurisdiction in its own name, but for the account of FGI (at the expense of the Client), or if required under the relevant law, in the name of FGI and for the account of FGI (at the expense of the Client) and shall, upon request of FGI join FGI and co-operate with FGI in respect of any proceedings commenced by FGI against a Customer. FGI shall, to the extent it deems necessary, assist the Client in exercising any and all rights arising out of the relevant purchased Receivables.

(e)

Following the occurrence of a Termination Event that is continuing, FGI may by notice to the relevant Client withdraw the agency appointment made in clause 11.1(b) and 11.1 (d) above at any time and thereafter FGI may in its sole and absolute discretion, settle, compromise, or assign (in whole or in part), through legal action or otherwise, or otherwise exercise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any other right now existing or hereafter arising with respect to any Receivable.

The authorisation of the Client as agent and its power and authority to collect the Receivables automatically terminates if an Insolvency within the meaning of part (c) of the definition of “Insolvency Proceedings” or part (a) of the definition of “insolvent” occurs in respect of the relevant Client.


(f)	Each Client undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that each Customer makes payment in accordance with the Notification Letter and, without affecting such obligation, at the Client's own expense, to despatch a letter in terms stipulated by FGI to any Customer ignoring such Notification Letter or any part thereof and to send to FGI a copy of each such letter.

(iii)	promptly perform all its continuing obligations to the relevant Customer under the Supply Contract giving rise to that Receivable.

(h)

Each Client will assist FGI's collection efforts, if FGI so requests, by promptly providing all information required for that purpose and each Client agrees that for collection purposes FGI may institute and conduct legal proceedings under FGI's full control, provided that following the institution of such proceedings, FGI shall provide written notice of the same to the relevant Client. Each Client also agrees to co-operate in any such proceedings (including the giving of evidence) and agrees to be bound by anything done by FGI under this clause 11. Furthermore, each Client agrees, upon request of FGI, to initiate legal proceedings in their own name on behalf of FGI, and to act upon FGI's instruction in that respect.


11.2	Payments


(a)	Each Client shall ensure that it shall direct all its Customers to make all payments in respect of Receivables owing by them (other than Receivables that have been repurchased by a Client) to the Trust Account or, if FGI in its sole discretion agrees, to such other account as directed by FGI (and not to any other bank account unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by FGI).

(b)

If and to the extent that a Customer makes any payment in respect of a Receivable (other than a Receivable that has been repurchased by a Client) other than to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as the case may be (whether by way of making such payment to another account, by way of sending any cheque or other payment instrument directly to the Client, or in any other manner), the relevant Client will notify FGI as soon as it becomes aware of the same and within two Business Days of becoming aware of the same:


(i)	transfer the full amount of such payment to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as applicable, and (pending such transfer) hold the full amount of such payment on trust for FGI;


(ii)	not otherwise deal with or dispose of such payment; and


(iii)	direct the relevant Customer to make all future payments in respect of Receivables (other than Receivables that have been repurchased by a Client) to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as applicable.


(c)	Each Client will immediately pass to FGI or to any bank account FGI directs, any payment a Customer makes to it directly in respect of a Receivable (other than a Receivable that has been repurchased by a Client). Each Client agrees:


(i)	if it is necessary for any cheque or other payment instrument to be endorsed to enable FGI to receive payment, to endorse the same prior to its delivery to FGI and not to ▇▇▇▇ or endorse any such cheque or other payment instrument other than in favour of FGI (or as FGI may direct);


(ii)	to hold any such payment it receives for a Receivable on trust for FGI until FGI receives it; and


(iii)	not to bank any such payment for its own account.

(d)

If a Customer makes a general payment either to FGI or to a Client without specifying which debts are covered by it then FGI shall apply it firstly against any Outstanding Receivables owed by that Customer in chronological order, secondly against the discharge of the Clients’ liability to FGI, if any, whether arising under this Deed or otherwise, and thirdly, any balance shall be paid as the relevant Client wishes.


(e)	The Client shall provide such instructions as are necessary for the performance of its obligations hereunder to the relevant bank with which the Trust Account is held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


(f)	The Client shall pledge any Trust Accounts to FGI as first priority security for the Client’s payment obligations pursuant to this Agreement.


(g)	The Client shall comply with any instruction FGI may give to the Client respect of the Trust Accounts, in particular in respect to transferring any credits standing to the Trust Accounts to other accounts designated by FGI.


(h)	The Client hereby waives to the fullest extent possible any banking secrecy rights owed to it by any bank or other party in relation to the Trust Accounts and hereby irrevocably authorises FGI to represent the Client to the fullest extent possible in relation to the Trust Accounts (umfassende Kontovollmacht).


(i)	Each Client will hold upon trust for FGI and follow any instructions FGI has in respect of any VAT bad debt relief (or similar relief) obtained by the Client in respect of a Receivable which has been assigned or transferred (or purportedly assigned or transferred) to FGI or otherwise held in trust for FGI under this Receivables Finance Agreement


11.3	Credit notes


(a)	No Client shall accept returns or shall grant allowances, discounts, deductions or credits in excess of the Permitted Dilution Percentage to any Customer without the prior written consent of FGI.


(b)	For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of each credit note, return, allowance or discount notified to and approved by FGI under clause 11.3(a) above will be treated as a reduction to the Purchase Price of the Receivable to which it relates and will be accounted for in accordance with clause 14.1(a)(iii) (Provision of information) below.

(c)

FGI shall keep a permanent record on the Reserve Account showing all sums payable or paid to each Client, all payments received in relation to Receivables and all fees, expenses and other sums payable or paid by each Client under this Deed or otherwise. A copy of the Reserve Account shall be taken as undisputed evidence of the matters stated in it at the date of its preparation unless within thirty (30) Business Days from the publication of the same, the relevant Client notifies FGI in writing of any discrepancy.


11.4	Accounting


(a)	FGI shall credit an amount equal to each collection received by it for a Receivable of the Client to the Reserve Account (and debit an equal amount to the Assigned Receivables Account) no later than the Collection Date.

(b)

FGI shall keep a permanent record on the Reserve Account showing all sums payable or paid to the Client, all payments received in relation to Receivables and all Fees, costs, expenses and other sums payable or paid by the Client under this Agreement or otherwise. A copy of the Reserve Account shall be taken as undisputed evidence of the matters stated in it at the date of its preparation unless within thirty (30) days from the publication of the same, the Client notifies FGI in writing of any discrepancy.


12	ONLINE SERVICES


12.1	FGI shall provide the Clients with online access via a secured website to information on the Assigned Receivables, the Reporting Statement and a reconciliation of the relationship relating to billing, collection and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution, interest and fees payable hereunder, and mailing of statements in the ordinary course of FGI's business.


12.2	All of the information provided on the online services shall be in a format, and in such detail, as FGI, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate. In the event of any dispute, FGI's books and records shall be admissible in evidence, without objection, as prima facie evidence of the status of the Purchased Receivables, any Assigned Receivables and the Reserve Account.


12.3	Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by FGI to a Client, if any, and all online information shall (except as to manifest error) be deemed conclusive evidence and binding for the purposes of this Deed and prima facie evidence in any Dispute.


12.4	FGI's failure to provide, or a Client's failure to receive, such online access shall not relieve any Client of any of its obligations under this Deed or the responsibility of that Client to request statements of account. If the relevant Client does not make such a request, it shall be deemed to have agreed the amounts set out in FGI's records.


13	CREDIT BALANCES

If FGI's records show that a credit balance appears on any account with a Customer, whether as a result of the issue of a credit note by a Client or otherwise, FGI may (and each Client authorises FGI to) pay that credit balance to the relevant Customer and debit it to the Reserve Account. Pending any such payment by FGI to the relevant Customer, that credit balance will constitute a contingent liability of the relevant Client to FGI.


14	INFORMATION RELATING TO RECEIVABLES AND CUSTOMERS

(a)	Each Client agrees that it will:


(i)	keep such accounting records as FGI may reasonably require in relation to its Receivables, in such format as FGI may specify;

(b)	authorises its bankers, accountants and auditors to provide FGI with such information as it may require;


(c)	authorises FGI to obtain from Customers their consent to the taking of references from their bankers, and

20.1	Appointment

(a)

Each Client hereby irrevocably authorises (bevollmächtigt) FGI (and waives to the fullest extent possible the restrictions contained in Section 181 of the German Civil Code with the power to subdelegate such authority and exemption from Section 181), by way of security, to be its attorney and act in its name for the purpose of executing such deeds or documents and completing and endorsing such instruments and instituting or defending such proceedings and performing such other acts as FGI may consider requisite in order to perfect FGI's title to any Receivable or Related Rights and to secure performance of any of the obligations of the Client under the Receivables Purchase Facility or under any Supply Contract or obtain payment of any Receivable.


(b)	Each Client agrees that each of FGI's directors, officers or duly authorised personnel from time to time may exercise the powers given to FGI in this clause 20.1 (Appointment).


20.2	Substitute attorney

FGI may appoint and remove at will any substitute attorney or agent in respect of any of the matters referred to in clause 20.1 (Appointment) above.


20.3	Ratification

Each Client agrees to ratify and confirm whatever FGI, its directors, company secretary or officers, substitutes and agents shall lawfully do pursuant to the above power of attorney.


21	VAT AND TAX

Each Client will:


21.1	indemnify FGI on demand for the amount of any VAT that may be payable upon any fees or expenses payable under this Deed; and


21.2	comply with any directions given to it by FGI in relation to obtaining on FGI's behalf any relief or refund of VAT included in any Receivable purchased by FGI under this Deed, to the extent that such relief or refund is available in the event of the Insolvency of the relevant Customer.


21.3	Upon request the Clients shall supply to FGI a confirmation from the auditors of the Clients or, upon request of FGI, another auditors' firm acceptable to FGI, which states that any applicable or payable VAT in respect of purchased Receivables or underlying sales transactions has been duly paid by the Clients to the competent tax authorities.

21.4

The Clients shall bear and pay any Taxes (including, without limitation, VAT), duties, levies, costs and fees arising in Germany, the United Kingdom and any other country in connection with the entry into and performance of or under this Agreement, the purchase of Receivables hereunder, by or on behalf of FGI, including any additional Taxes arising in respect thereof (excluding possible corporate income tax of FGI on its net income arising according to US law).

21.5

The Clients, upon FGI's demand, shall indemnify FGI immediately, on an after-Tax basis, for all damages, losses, claims by third parties and/or expenses arising from the non-payment or delayed payment by the Clients of any amount and make corresponding payments upon demand of FGI, unless they are penalities, default interest or extra charges arising due to the fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of FGI or one of its agents. FGI shall provide to the Clients, upon making a request for indemnification, reasonable evidence of the aforementioned damages, losses, claims by third parties and/or expenses.


21.6	All payments from the Clients to FGI under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of any Tax deduction. To the extent that any VAT applies, such VAT shall be paid by the Clients.

In the event that the Clients are required to make a payment subject to a Tax deduction, the sum payable by the Clients in respect of which such Tax deduction is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such Tax deduction, FGI receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such Tax deduction been made or required to be made.

completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Clients to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction. If the Clients pay to FGI an increased sum in accordance with this paragraph and if FGI determines in its sole discretion that it has received a refund or repayment of such tax or has been granted a benefit from a credit against such tax attributable to the increased payment and obtained and utilised it, then, after finally settling its tax affairs for the respective year FGI shall repay such benefit to the Clients in such amount if it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such refund, repayment or benefit, it being understood that nothing in this paragraph shall oblige FGI to handle its tax affairs in any specific way or to disclose and tax or other information to the Clients.

24	CERTIFICATION

Each Client agrees that a certificate (except as to manifest error, or errors in law) signed by an authorised signatory of FGI shall be prima facie evidence as to the amount of any Loss whether actual or contingent referred to in clause 22 (Indemnity), any amount payable under clause 25.3 (Currency indemnity) and the fees and charges referred to in this Deed and/or the amount at any time owed by a Credit Party to FGI or vice versa, howsoever arising.

25.2

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Deed, all monies received or held by FGI under this Deed may be converted from their existing currency into such other currency as FGI considers necessary or desirable at the spot rate of exchange of FGI's bankers for that currency as at the date of such conversion. FGI shall have no liability to a Credit Party in respect of any Loss resulting from any fluctuation in exchange rates after any such conversion.

25.3

No payment to FGI (whether under any judgment or court order or in the liquidation, administration or dissolution of a Credit Party or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Credit Party in respect of which it was made, unless and until FGI shall have received payment in full in the currency in which the obligation or liability was incurred or (if different) is expressed to be payable and, to the extent that the amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such obligation or liability expressed in that currency, FGI shall have a further separate cause of action against the relevant Credit Party.

25.4

Unless otherwise agreed by FGI, where a Receivable is denominated and payable in otherwise than in US Dollars, all costs, charges and expenses relating to the collection of that Receivable and/or conversion of amounts collected into US Dollars (or into such other currency as FGI determines from time to time) will be deducted in calculating the Purchase Price of that Receivable, which will be computed by reference to the spot rate of exchange of FGI's Bankers on the date of such collection or conversion, but at its discretion FGI may provisionally apply the rate ruling on the date it receives the Notification relating to that Receivable, making such subsequent adjustments as may be necessary.


25.5	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Deed will, to the extent FGI (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Original Clients) specifies to be necessary, be amended to reflect the change in currency.


25.6	Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Deed, no variation of this Deed shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed on behalf of each Client, by a director or the company secretary and in the case of FGI, by an authorised signatory, and for the avoidance of doubt may not be effected by electronic communication.


25.7	If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

25.8

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of FGI, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents, shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

25.9

Without prejudice to Clause 25.6 any provision of a Finance Document may be amended only if FGI so agree in writing and any breach of a Finance Document may be waived before or after it occurs only if FGI so agrees in writing. A waiver given or consent granted by FGI under a Finance Document will be effective only if given in writing and then only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given.


25.10	FGI shall be entitled to rely upon any act done or document signed or any electronic mail or facsimile or oral communication sent by any person purporting to act, sign, send or make on behalf of any Credit Party despite any defect in or absence of authority vested in such person.

FGI, acting in its sole discretion, may from time to time upon notice to the Client, make available Advances in excess of Availability on such terms and conditions as are specified by FGI in relation to such Advance.

(b) Facility Limit

FGI shall not be obliged to make any Advance to the Original Clients pursuant to this schedule 4 (Over Advances-terms and conditions) if that Advance:

2.1 Interest

If at any time FGI makes an Advance in excess of Availability, Discount shall be increased by an amount specified by FGI and shall be debited in accordance with clause 10.2 (Discount).

(b) FGI will add VAT to its fees if applicable.
