SALE OF SELLER RECEIVABLES

          SECTION 2.01. Sale of Seller Receivables.

          (a) The Seller hereby sells, transfers and assigns, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), to the Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions specifically set forth herein, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Seller Receivables existing on the date hereof and hereafter created from time to time until the Termination Date, all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds of the foregoing, together with all of the Seller’s rights, remedies, powers and privileges with respect to such Seller Receivables (collectively, the “Receivable Assets”).

          (b) The parties to this Agreement intend that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be, and shall be created as, a purchase by the Buyer and a sale by the Seller of Receivable Assets and not as a lending transaction. The foregoing sales, transfers and assignments do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the Buyer of any obligation or liability with respect to any Seller Receivable or Contract, nor shall the Buyer be obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with any Receivable Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto.

          (c) In connection with the foregoing sales, transfers and assignments, the Seller agrees to record and file, at its own expense, proper financing statements (and proper continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivable Assets now and hereafter from time to time acquired by the Buyer under this Agreement, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sales, transfers and assignments of the Receivable Assets to the Buyer hereunder, and to deliver copies of such financing statements to the Buyer and the Agent on or prior to the initial Purchase under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement. Such financing statements shall name the Seller as debtor/seller, the Buyer as secured party/buyer and the Agent as assignee.

          SECTION 2.02. Terms of Sales.

          (a) The Buyer and PolyOne hereby confirm that on May 6, 2003, the Buyer accepted from PolyOne and PEFI, and PolyOne and PEFI sold, transferred and assigned to the Buyer, all of PolyOne’s and PEFI’s respective right, title and interest in, to and under those Receivable Assets that were outstanding on such date. As consideration for such sale, transfer and assignment of Receivable Assets on such date, the Buyer paid (or caused to be paid) to PolyOne and PEFI on such date an amount (PolyOne’s or PEFI’s, as applicable, “Initial Purchase Price”) agreed upon prior to such date, between PolyOne or PEFI and the Buyer to be reasonably equivalent value for such Receivable Assets as of such date. The Buyer and PolyOne hereby confirm that on May 6, 2003, the Buyer paid to PolyOne and PEFI as part of the total Initial Purchase Price the total amount which the Purchasers paid to the Buyer in Capital on such date under the Prior Sale Agreement.

          (b) The Buyer and PolyOne hereby confirm that on each Business Day after May 6, 2003 through the date of this Agreement, the Buyer has accepted from PolyOne and PEFI, and PolyOne and PEFI sold, transferred and assigned to the Buyer, all of PolyOne’s and PEFI’s right, title and interest in, to and under those Receivable Assets that were created on such Business Day. The Buyer and PolyOne hereby confirm that, as consideration for such continuing sales, transfers and assignments of Receivable Assets, the Buyer paid (or caused to be paid) to PolyOne and PEFI an amount equal to the purchase price therefor agreed upon prior to the date of such sale, transfer and assignment, between PolyOne and PEFI and the Buyer to be reasonably equivalent value for such Receivable Assets as of the date of such sale, transfer and assignment.

          (c) On each Business Day after the date hereof until the Termination Date the Buyer shall accept from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell, transfer and assign to the Buyer, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under those Receivable Assets that are created on such Business Day. As consideration for such continuing sale, transfer and assignment of Receivable Assets after the date hereof, the Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Seller an amount (the “Purchase Price”) agreed upon prior to the date of such sale, transfer and assignment, between the Seller and the Buyer to be reasonably equivalent value for such Receivable Assets as of the date of such sale, transfer and assignment.

          (d) The Purchase Price other than the Seller’s Initial Purchase Price, and the balance, if any, of the Seller’s Initial Purchase Price to be so paid by the Buyer on the date hereof, in accordance with the last sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 2.02, shall be paid in any of the following ways:

     (i) in cash paid to the Seller in U.S. Dollars in same day funds on or before the next occurring Yield Payment Date or the date hereof; or

     (ii) upon the agreement of the Seller and the Buyer, by means of indebtedness owed by the Buyer to the Seller evidenced by, and payable with interest pursuant to, a Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note payable to the order of the Seller; or

     (iii) a combination of the above.

          (e) In addition to the methods of payment specified in subsection (d) of this Section 2.02 the Purchase Price may be paid in any of the following ways:

     (i) upon the agreement of PolyOne and the Buyer, by means of capital contributed by PolyOne to the Buyer in the form of Receivable Assets sold, transferred and assigned during such Yield Period or on the date hereof, as the case may be, and the Purchase Price, or such balance of the Initial Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall be considered paid in full by reflecting such contribution as an addition to surplus of the Buyer at an appropriate value; or

     (ii) a combination of any of the payment methods set forth above or in subsection (d) of this Section 2.02.

          SECTION 2.03. General Settlement Procedures.

          (a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Seller Receivable is either (i) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any discount, or any adjustment by the Seller or (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the Seller or any Affiliate thereof other than the Buyer (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation and shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 4.01(i). If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 3.01(f) is no longer true with respect to any Seller Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in full of such Seller Receivable and shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 4.01(i). Except as stated in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.03 or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, except if payment is designated by such Obligor for application to specific Receivables.

          (b) The Buyer’s Servicer shall immediately advise the Buyer and the Agent of each Liquidation Day.

          (c) At least two Business Days before each Yield Payment Date, the Buyer’s Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Buyer and the Agent a Receivables Activity Report of the Buyer’s Servicer, as of the close of business of the Buyer’s Servicer on the last day of the immediately preceding Yield Period, setting forth the calculation of the actual Purchase Price for each Receivable Asset sold, transferred and assigned during such Yield Period, and the reconciliation of how the Purchase Price has been paid reflecting the cash advanced from the Buyer to the Seller during such Yield Period, the adjustments to and current balance, if any, due from the Buyer to the Seller under its Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note, and the amount of additional cash, if any, to be paid by the Buyer to the Seller on such Yield Payment Date.

          SECTION 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc.

          (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Buyer’s Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars, in same day funds to the Buyer as directed by the

Buyer to the Seller or the Buyer’s Servicer in writing. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Buyer interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder (except for those amounts with respect to which Yield accrues) at 2.00% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

          (b) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

          (c) [Reserved].

          (d) The Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent it may legally do so (i) any express or implied vendor’s lien, and any other lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance, which would otherwise be imposed on or affect any Seller Receivable or any Receivable Asset on account of any unpaid amount of the Seller’s Initial Purchase Price or any Purchase Price therefor or on account of any other unpaid amounts otherwise payable by the Buyer under or in connection with this Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note payable to the order of the Seller or otherwise and (ii) with respect to the obligations of the Seller to make payments or deposits under this Agreement (including, without limitation, payments under Sections 2.03 and 6.01), any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense and other right or claim which the Seller may have against the Buyer as a result of or arising out of the failure of the Buyer to pay any amount on account of the Seller’s Initial Purchase Price or any Purchase Price under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 or any other amount payable by the Buyer to the Seller under this Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note payable to the order of the Seller or otherwise.

          SECTION 2.05. Buyer’s Servicer Fee.

          The Buyer shall pay to the Buyer’s Servicer a collection fee (the “Buyer’s Servicer Fee”) from the date hereof until the Termination Date, payable on each Yield Payment Date, in an amount equal to the amount payable to the Servicer under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement or such other amount calculated on an arm’s-length basis for services performed as a subcontractor on terms common to collection agency arrangements in comparable asset sale transactions; provided, however, that the Buyer shall be given a credit against the Buyer’s Servicer Fee payable under this Agreement equal to the full amount of the Servicer Fee paid under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement.

          (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any other agreement or document to be delivered thereunder, or for the perfection of or the exercise by any Indemnified Party of its rights and remedies under such Transaction Document and such other agreements or documents, except for the filings of the financing statements referred to in Section 2.01(c) and in Article III of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement.

          (j) The jurisdiction of incorporation, organizational identification number (if any), and the address(es) of the principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller and the office where the Seller keeps its Records concerning the Receivable Assets, are as set forth in Schedule IV hereto (or, by notice to the Buyer and the Agent in accordance with Section 4.01(e), at such other locations in jurisdictions, within the United States, where all actions required by Section 5.04(a) have been taken and completed).

          (m) The Purchase Price payable on each Yield Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.02(b) for the Seller’s Receivable Assets created after such date constitutes fair consideration and approximates fair market value for such Receivable Assets, and the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, such Purchase Price therefor, and the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Notes, if applicable) of the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable Assets pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 reasonably approximate an arm’s-length transaction between unaffiliated parties. No such sale, transfer or assignment has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Buyer and no such sale, transfer or assignment, at the time such sale, transfer or assignment is made, is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

          (b) Neither the Buyer nor the Agent nor the Owners nor any other Indemnified Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Seller Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

          SECTION 5.04. Further Actions Evidencing Purchases.

          (a) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Buyer or the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale, transfer and assignment of Receivable Assets by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder and the Receivable Interests purchased by the Owners under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, or to enable any of them or the Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder or under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, upon the request of the Buyer or the Agent, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such sales, transfers and assignments and such Receivable Interests: (i) execute, authenticate and/or file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary, or that the Buyer or the Agent may reasonably request; (ii) ▇▇▇▇ conspicuously each invoice evidencing each Seller Receivable and the related Contract with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer or the Agent, as applicable, evidencing that such Seller Receivables have been sold, transferred and assigned to the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) ▇▇▇▇ its master data processing records evidencing such Seller Receivables and related Contracts with such legend.

          (b) The Seller hereby authorizes each of the Buyer and the Agent acting together or alone (upon prior written notice to the Seller) to file one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto relating to all or any of the Receivable Assets without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other applicable filing where permitted by law.

          (c) If PolyOne in its capacity as Buyer’s Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Buyer or the Agent may, upon prior written notice to PolyOne, itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent or the Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller under Section 6.01 or 7.04, as applicable.

     (xiii) the existence of any Adverse Claim against or with respect to any Seller Receivable the related Contract, Related Security or Collections and resulting from any act or omission of the Seller;

Furthermore, each of the Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the structure or tax aspects of the receivables program established

To the extent that disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder by each of the Seller or Buyer is limited by any existing agreement between the Seller or Buyer, such limitation is agreed to be void ab initio and such agreement is hereby amended to permit disclosure of the structure and tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder as provided in this clause (a).

          (b) Subject to clause (a) of this Section 7.06, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial process, each of the parties hereto agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Consent and Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (and all drafts thereof) and all non-public information delivered in connection herewith in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, however, that (i) in the case of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, such information may be disclosed to third parties to the extent such disclosure is (A) limited in scope to the provisions of Article V, VII and X of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement and, to the extent defined terms are used in Article V, VII and X, such terms defined in Article I of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement and (B) made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) in the case of this Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Consent and Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (and all drafts thereof) and all non-public information delivered in connection herewith in communications with third parties and otherwise, such information may be disclosed to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided, further, that this Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Consent and Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Letter of Credit Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (and all drafts thereof) may be disclosed (A) to each party’s, the Agent’s and each Owner’s legal counsel, accountants and auditors on a confidential basis, (B) to any rating agency, (C) to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Seller , the Buyer, the Agent or an Owner and (D) pursuant to court order or subpoena; provided, further, that each party shall have no obligation of confidentiality in respect of any information which may be generally available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of such party.

          SECTION 7.07. Governing Law.

          THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 7.08. Consent to Jurisdiction.

          (a) Each of the Seller and the Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Seller and the Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Seller and the Buyer hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a summons and complaint to it at its address specified in Section 7.02 by registered mail, return receipt requested, or in any other

manner permitted by applicable law. Each of the Seller and the Buyer agrees that a final, non-appealable, judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the Seller and the Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          SECTION 7.09. Execution in Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.10. Intent of the Parties, etc.

          As provided in Section 2.01(b), the parties to this Agreement intend that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by the Buyer and a sale by the Seller of Receivable Assets and not as a lending transaction. Recognizing the risk that, notwithstanding the parties’ intent, a court deciding the issue might recharacterize the Receivable Asset transfers contemplated hereby as a secured lending transaction, it is the intention of the parties hereto, in the event of such recharacterization, that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer a duly perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in such Receivable Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all cash and non-cash proceeds in respect thereof, free and clear of Adverse Claims. In contemplation of such risk (but only for such purpose), (a) the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivable Assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all cash and non-cash proceeds in respect thereof and (b) if the Seller shall have taken any action, or suffered any event to occur, of the type described in Section 7.01(f) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, all of the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Seller.

          SECTION 7.11. Entire Agreement.

          This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the parties hereto are party contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

          SECTION 7.12. Severability of Provisions.

          Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 7.13. Waiver of Jury Trial.

          Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the actions of the Agent or any Indemnified Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof or thereof.

          SECTION 7.14. No Proceedings.

          (a) The Seller hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Buyer or the Purchasers any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.01(f) of the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement so long as there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the later of the (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which no Capital Investment for any Receivable Interest shall be existing and no Yield, Letter of Credit Obligations, fees or other amounts remain unpaid under this Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement.

          (b) Each of the Seller and the Buyer hereby agrees that, in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, none of the Indemnified Parties shall be liable to the Seller or the Buyer (except to the extent of such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or have any liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATED NOTE

                                                             , 2007

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, POLYONE FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of POLYONE CORPORATION., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Ohio (the “Seller”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds the principal amount outstanding on June , 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), in respect of indebtedness incurred by the Buyer representing any portion of the Seller’s Initial Purchase Price or any Purchase Price of the Receivable Assets purchased from time to time by the Buyer from the Seller pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of June , 2007, as it may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time (the “Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement”), among the Seller, the Buyer and the other parties thereto and acknowledged by Citicorp USA, Inc. (“Citicorp”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). Subject to the terms of subordination herein contained the Buyer may, at its option, prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder hereof have any right to demand any payment of principal hereunder prior to the Maturity Date.

     Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (as defined below), as the case may be.

     The Buyer further agrees to pay interest from the date hereof in like money on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding, at a rate of 6% per annum. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Yield Payment Date commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof and upon final payment of the unpaid principal amount hereof.

     This Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note is subordinate and junior in right and time of payment to all “Senior Debt” of the Buyer, which consists of all Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Buyer and all renewals, extensions, refinancings and refundings thereof other than any such Indebtedness that expressly provides that it is not senior or superior in right of payment hereto. The term “Indebtedness” means (i) all obligations of the Buyer from time to time under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of June , 2007, as it may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time (the “Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Buyer, PolyOne Corporation, as Servicer, the Purchasers from time to

time party thereto and the Agent, whether for Collections received or deemed to have been received by the Buyer, fees, costs, expenses, taxes, indemnification or otherwise, and (ii) any indebtedness, whether or not contingent, in respect of borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments or letters of credit (or reimbursement agreements in respect thereto) and guarantees of any of the foregoing, whether or not any such indebtedness would appear as a liability on a balance sheet of the Buyer prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     All obligations (the “Senior Obligations”) of the Buyer to pay principal, interest (including, without limitation, interest, as provided in the instruments and agreements evidencing Senior Debt, payable after any Insolvency Event (as defined below) whether or not such interest is permitted to accrue or is allowable), fees, costs, expenses, taxes, indemnifications, and other amounts in respect of Senior Debt now or hereafter existing must be irrevocably paid in full in cash before any amount payable under this Second Amended and Restated Subordinated Note (the “Junior Debt”) shall be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing under the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Buyer may pay accrued and unpaid interest on Junior Debt on each Settlement Date and may voluntarily prepay the principal of Junior Debt at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that Junior Debt shall be payable only to the extent that the Buyer, after paying all its accounts payable and other expenses and obligations in respect of the Senior Obligations, has the funds to make such payments. No holder of Junior Debt shall take or receive from the Buyer for or on account of any Junior Debt any payment or distribution, by setoff or otherwise, in contravention of the subordination provisions herein contained. In the event (each, an “Insolvency Event”) of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of the Buyer or its debt, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar case or proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Buyer or otherwise, the holders of Senior Obligations shall be entitled to receive irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations before any holder of any Junior Debt is entitled to receive any payment of all or any of the Junior Debt, and any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) that otherwise would be payable with respect to any Junior Debt in any such case, proceeding, assignment, marshalling or otherwise (including any payment that may be payable by reason of other Indebtedness of the Buyer being subordinated to payment of the Junior Debt) shall be paid or delivered directly to a representative (the “Representative”) selected by holders of at least 50% in principal amount of Senior Debt for the account of all holders of Senior Debt for application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY

Purpose and Scope

          The Company conducts its operations through dedicated business units and organizational teams. The purpose of this policy is to establish the essential Company-wide requirements relating to the management of “credit” risk. The scope of this policy covers all receivables for each business unit.

Credit will be provided based on an assessment of an individual customer’s (or other third party’s) ability to pay within terms common (competitive) to the business market segment. Each business will manage its credit risk by (a) assessing the risk exposure of its credit portfolio and (b) assessing activities to realize prompt payment collection.

Responsibility and Authority

          The Corporate Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for establishing policy guidelines consistent with PolyOne Corporation’s target capital structure. The guidelines will cover setting credit limits and exceptions thereto, for term extensions and credit worthiness, and determining the appropriate risk exposure of a business’ overall credit portfolio.

          The CFO is responsible for this policy and revisions, which may be required from time to time. The CFO will approve any exceptions to this policy.

          It is the responsibility of the business General Manager, delegating through the business management team (specifically including the business controller and credit manager), to develop and implement all business unit policies, guidelines and/or procedures necessary to effectively manage the business unit’s day-to-day credit risk and to adhere to this Company-wide policy. The business General Manager is delegated the authority to have credit authorized consistent with this policy.

	•		Expansion by more than 10% of previously approved programs
	•		Employee credit other than for relocation and/or nominal amounts not to exceed $500 outstanding per individual (should be discouraged)
	•		Any credit to Company Officers

Guidelines

          The successful implementation of this policy is partially dependent on establishing specific control and reporting activities that each business unit’s operations are expected to incorporate. Below are specific activities which each business unit will perform in supporting the (a) assessment of its credit portfolio risk, (b) prompt collection of outstanding credit and (c) reporting to Corporate Services (CFO, Treasurer and Corporate Controller).

	•		Customer accounts will be kept clean, i.e., credit and debit adjustments issued timely, cash applied to invoices, etc.

          Reporting to Corporate Services

	•		In the monthly financial reporting package include key performance measures relating to receivable DSO, aging, dating, etc. The business unit DSO will be shown for domestic, foreign and total and calculated on a Company-wide basis
