(the "Purchase Price"). 7.1.2 On each Monthly Calculation Date, the Programme Agent shall, on the basis of the information set out in the Servicer Report and in the Aggregate Electronic File received on the Monthly Reporting Date immediately preceding such Monthly Calculation Date: (A) calculate, in relation to each Seller, each Purchase Price in relation to (x) Existing Receivables to be assigned on the immediately following Monthly Payment Date (if any) and (y) Receivables offered for sale as Future 31


 
Receivables or Existing New Receivables and which became Existing Receivables during the preceding Collection Period; and (B) prepare and send, by 6 pm (Paris time), to the Purchaser, the Programme Manager and the Centralising Agent the Returned Electronic File and the Calculation Report which shall indicate each Purchase Price payable to each Seller. Modification of the Credit Risk Premium Rate 7.2.1 The Purchaser may propose to modify the Credit Risk Premium Rate by sending a written notice setting out such proposed modification to the Centralising Agent (i) on each 6 month anniversary of the Initial Monthly Cut-Off Date or (ii) within 10 Business Days following the date on which a Seller has requested the addition of new Debtors to the Perimeter and/or the modification of the Relevant Currency Debtor Limits in accordance with Clause 5.4. The Programme Manager (acting on behalf of the Purchaser) shall, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws or regulations relating to banking secrecy rules or confidentiality agreements binding on the Purchaser, the Programme Agent and/or the Programme Manager, give to the Centralising Agent the reasons for such proposal. 7.2.2 If such proposed Credit Risk Premium Rate is accepted in writing by the Centralising Agent not later than 10 Business Days following the receipt of such notice, then such modification shall become effective as of the next Monthly Cut-Off Date provided it shall not affect the Purchase Price already paid in respect of any Assigned Receivables purchased by the Purchaser on the Purchase Dates preceding such Monthly Cut-Off Date. 7.2.3 If such proposed Credit Risk Premium Rate is not accepted in writing by the Centralising Agent within 10 Business Days following the receipt of such notice, then a 10 Business Days consultation period shall open during which the Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours with a view to reach a mutually acceptable solution. 7.2.4 If an agreement is reached during such consultation period, the Credit Risk Premium Rate as agreed between the Parties will apply as from the next Monthly Cut-Off Date provided it shall not affect the Purchase Price already paid in respect of any Assigned Receivable purchased by the Purchaser on the Purchase Dates preceding such Monthly Cut-Off Date. 7.2.5 If no agreement is reached during such consultation period, the Centralising Agent shall be entitled to (i) notify their refusal to the proposed modification and (ii) terminate the Revolving Period with effect from the next Monthly Cut-Off Date by giving a joint and written notice on behalf of each Seller and the Parent Company to the Purchaser, the Programme Agent and the Programme Manager not later than 10 Business Days preceding such Purchase Date (a "Programme Termination Notice"). If no Programme Termination Notice is sent by that date, then the proposed Credit Risk Premium Rate shall be deemed accepted by all Sellers and the Parent Company and therefore become effective as of such Monthly Cut-Off Date. Payment of the Purchase Price 7.3.1 Payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser In consideration for the purchase of any Receivable (to the extent such Receivable is not reassigned to or repurchased by the Applicable Seller or, as applicable the assignment of which has not been rescinded in accordance with Clause 8), the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price thereof in the following manner: (A) in relation to any Receivable which is transferred on any Purchase Date to the Purchaser as an Existing Receivable, the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price thereof on such Purchase Date. (B) in relation to any Receivable which is transferred by any Seller to the Purchaser on any Purchase Date as an Existing New Receivable or as a Future Receivable, the Purchaser shall pay the corresponding Purchase Price as follows: 32


 
(1) Advanced Purchase Price On each day falling during the applicable Collection Period (such period being the Collection Period during which the relevant Receivable has been invoiced), the Advanced Purchase Price determined with respect to such day shall be payable by the Purchaser on the same day. The payment of such Advanced Purchase Price by the Purchaser to the Applicable Seller shall be made by way of set-off against the aggregate amount of the Collections (including the Deemed Collections) that are received or recovered by such Seller, or in relation to Deemed Collections are due from the same Seller (in its capacity as Seller or Servicer) to the Purchaser on that day. (2) Adjustment Amount (if positive) On the Monthly Payment Date falling immediately after the end of the relevant Collection Period, the Purchaser shall pay to the Applicable Seller the applicable Adjustment Amount (if positive). 7.3.2 Payment of the negative Adjustment Amount by a Seller If, on any Monthly Payment Date, the aggregate amount of the Advanced Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser during the Collection Period which ends immediately prior to that Monthly Payment Date exceeds the Purchase Price of the Receivables transferred as Future Receivables and Existing New Receivables which have been invoiced during that Collection Period, then the applicable Adjustment Amount shall be due and payable by the relevant Seller to the Purchaser on the immediately following Monthly Payment Date. Effective Global Rate For the purpose of articles L.314-1 to L.314-5 and R.314-1 to R.314-14 of the French Code de la consommation, each Initial Seller acknowledges that: 7.4.1 by virtue of certain characteristics of this Agreement, the taux effectif global cannot be calculated on the date of this Agreement, but that an indicative calculation of the taux effectif global, based on assumptions as to the taux de période and the durée de période, will be set out in an effective global rate letter given by the Purchaser to the Initial Sellers on the date hereof; and 7.4.2 that letter forms part of this Agreement. 8. REASSIGNMENT Affected Receivables Unless the same has been expressly and duly waived, if, at any time, any Party becomes aware, in respect of an Assigned Receivable, that: 8.1.1 any of the applicable Conditions Precedent were not satisfied on or before the related Purchase Date; or 8.1.2 such Assigned Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable on the relevant Eligibility Test Date, (any of the circumstances described in this Clause 8.1 being a "Breach", and such Assigned Receivable being the "Affected Receivable") then: (A) such Party shall, as soon as practicable, notify the other Parties of the Breach; (B) the Applicable Seller shall pay (subject to a maximum) the Purchase Price for such Affected Receivables to the Purchaser consisting of an amount (the "Receivables Indemnity") equal to the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of such Affected Receivable (determined as of the date that the reassignment of such Affected Receivable becomes effective in accordance with paragraph 8.1.2(C) below) plus (ii) the amount of any reasonable and duly demonstrated (or estimated, as applicable) costs, fees and expenses 33


 
and Taxation that have been or will be incurred by the Purchaser as a result of, or in connection with, the Breach or any action to be taken under Paragraphs 8.1.2(C) and 8.1.2(D) below and less (iii) the Collections received by the Purchaser with respect to such Affected Receivables; (C) upon payment of the Receivables Indemnity specified in paragraph 8.1.2(B) above with respect to any Affected Receivable, such Affected Receivable shall be automatically reassigned and retransferred to the Applicable Seller or, as applicable the assignment shall be automatically rescinded, in accordance with and subject to the terms of each applicable Local Receivables Purchase Agreement, with effect from the date on which the notice referred to in paragraph 8.1.2(A) above was issued to the Purchaser; and (D) subject to the payment in full of the related Receivables Indemnity in accordance with paragraph 8.1.2(B) above, the Purchaser (and if necessary the Applicable Seller) shall perform such steps and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to reflect the reassignment and, as applicable, the rescission of the transfer (and, to the extent required by any Applicable Law, to effect the retransfer to the Applicable Seller) of such Affected Receivable. Purchase Limits 8.2.1 Principles (A) Retransferred Receivables Any Assigned Receivables which (i) as determined by the Programme Agent in accordance with Clause 8.2.2, have caused the Purchase Limits to be exceeded and (ii) are selected by the Programme Agent in accordance with Clause 8.2.3 below (the "Retransferred Receivable") shall be automatically reassigned and retransferred to the Applicable Seller or, as applicable the assignment shall be automatically rescinded, with effect from the date they are identified as Retransferred Receivables through the sending of the Returned Electronic File provided for in Clause 8.2.4 on any Monthly Calculation Date in accordance with and subject to the terms of each applicable Local Receivables Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Seller and the Purchaser hereby consent in advance to the reassignment and, as applicable to the rescission of the Retransferred Receivables so designated. No Purchase Price shall be paid by the Purchaser in relation to the Retransferred Receivables (and as a result all Collections already received by the Purchaser in relation to those Retransferred Receivables shall be repaid to the Applicable Seller such that the Applicable Seller is put in the same position as if the assignment of such Retransferred Receivables to the Purchaser had never occurred). (B) Excluded Receivables Any Receivables offered for sale as Existing Receivables which would cause the Purchase Limits to be exceeded on the immediately following Purchase Date and which are selected by the Programme Agent in accordance with Clause 8.2.3 will not be purchased by the Purchaser on such Purchase Date (the "Excluded Receivables"). For the avoidance of doubt, the non-purchase of Eligible Receivables due to such Eligible Receivables being Excluded Receivables in accordance with this Clause 8.2 shall not trigger a Stop Purchase Event or be considered a breach of an undertaking of the Applicable Seller under the Transaction Documents. In accordance with Clause 6.1, any Excluded Receivable which remains an Eligible Receivable shall be re-offered for sale to the Purchaser by the Applicable Seller (as Existing Receivable) on the following Monthly Payment Date by delivery of the Returned Electronic File. 34


 
The Excluded Receivables and the Retransferred Receivables form together the "Excess Receivables". 8.2.2 Application of Purchase Limits If, on any Monthly Calculation Date, the Programme Agent, on the basis of the Aggregate Electronic Files received from the Centralising Agent on the immediately preceding Monthly Reporting Date, determines: (A) that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Assigned Receivables identified and individualised in such Aggregate Electronic Files owed by any Debtor and denominated in any Relevant Currency has caused (or would cause, on the immediately following Purchase Date) the applicable Relevant Currency Debtor Limit in relation to such Relevant Currency to be exceeded, it shall determine the Excess Receivables, using the selection order set out in Clause 8.2.3; and (B) after having deducted such Receivables pursuant to Paragraph (A) above, that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all the Assigned Receivables identified and individualised in such Aggregate Electronic Files has caused (or would cause, on the immediately following Purchase Date) the Programme Maximum Amount to be exceeded, it shall determine the Excess Receivables using the selection order set out in Clause 8.2.3 The Programme Agent shall (i) inform the Applicable Seller and the Purchaser of the Excess Receivables so excluded by listing such Excess Receivables in the Returned Electronic File and (ii) update accordingly the amounts of Required Support Amount Month M by Relevant Currency and communicate such amounts to the Sellers and the Purchaser. 8.2.3 Selection rules (A) The Excess Receivables shall be selected for removal by the Applicable Seller on the relevant Monthly Calculation Date in accordance with the following rules: (1) the Receivables to be removed shall first be those sold by the Singapore Seller and then those sold by the English Seller; (2) subject to the selection rules set out in paragraph (1) above, the Receivables to be removed shall be selected with the following order (i) first, the Receivables denominated in Euro (ii) second, the Receivables denominated in GBP, (iii) third, the Receivables denominated in AUD and (iv) fourth, the Receivables denominated in USD; then (3) subject to the selection rules set out in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, the relevant Receivables with the Invoice Due Date which falls the greatest number of days after the such Monthly Calculation Date will be the first to be removed, provided that (i) if two or more Receivables have the same Invoice Due Date, then the Receivable with the lower Outstanding Amount (as of the immediately preceding Monthly Cut-off Date) shall be removed first, and (ii) if two or more Receivables have the same Invoice Due Date and the same Outstanding Amount (as of the immediately preceding Monthly Cut-off Date), then the Receivables with a higher identification number in the last Aggregate Electronic File shall be removed first, provided further that the selection above shall be made in respect of each Eligible Debtor, in the sequential order of the Eligible Debtors set out in the Perimeter. 35


 
(B) The Programme Agent shall select the relevant Receivables in accordance with the foregoing selection rule to the extent necessary in order to ensure compliance with the applicable Purchase Limit. 8.2.4 Returned Electronic File The Programme Agent shall, on each Monthly Calculation Date, send to the Centralising Agent and the Programme Manager a file (the "Returned Electronic File") prepared on the basis of the information set out in the Servicer Report and in the Aggregate Electronic Files received on the immediately preceding Monthly Reporting Date, which shall identify: (A) all Assigned Receivables offered as Existing New Receivables or Future Receivables which have been invoiced during the preceding Collection Period and which have not been reassigned to or repurchased by the Applicable Seller or, as applicable the assignment of which has not been rescinded in accordance with this Clause 8.2; and (B) all Existing Receivables to be assigned on the immediately following Monthly Payment Date; and (C) all Assigned Receivables which have been reassigned to the Applicable Seller or, as applicable the assignment of which has been rescinded in accordance with Clause 8.1 and all Excess Receivables selected in accordance with Clause 8.2.3 on that Monthly Calculation Date. 9. REPURCHASE OF ASSIGNED RECEIVABLES Repurchase Notice 9.1.1 The Centralising Agent, acting on behalf of the relevant Seller, has the option (but not the obligation), by giving written notice to the Purchaser on any Monthly Reporting Date (each, a "Repurchase Notice"), to request the repurchase of any Assigned Receivable which is the subject of a contentious or pre-contentious dispute to the extent that the Seller needs to recover the ownership of such Assigned Receivable to protect its interests in any litigation or pre litigation proceedings (excluding any dispute resulting from non-payment of the relevant Debtor due to such Debtor being Insolvent), each in accordance with Clauses 9.2 (Repurchase Mechanism) and 9.3 (Repurchase Formalities) below. 9.1.2 Any Repurchase Notice given by the Centralising Agent shall be irrevocable and shall specify the relevant Assigned Receivable(s) offered to be repurchased, the proposed repurchase price and repurchase date. Repurchase Mechanism 9.2.1 The Purchaser has no obligation to accept a request of the repurchase of any Assigned Receivable (in particular, without limitation, if (i) it has not received a duly completed Repurchase Notice; or (ii) the repurchase price proposed by the Centralising Agent is not the Outstanding Amount of such Assigned Receivables). The Purchaser may make such retransfer conditional upon the delivery by the Applicable Seller of an Officer's Solvency Certificate certifying that the Applicable Seller (i) is not Insolvent on the date of the Repurchase Notice and (ii) has no reason to believe that it will become Insolvent (taking into account the payment of the Retransfer Amount (as defined below) on the proposed date of repurchase). 9.2.2 If it agrees to accept such request, the Purchaser shall notify the Centralising Agent of its agreement to reassign such Eligible Receivable(s) to the Applicable Seller, subject to the payment in full of the agreed repurchase price (as well as all reasonable and duly demonstrated costs and expenses and Taxes that have been or will be incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such repurchase) (the "Retransfer Amount") on the relevant repurchase date. Repurchase Formalities 36


 
9.3.1 If it is agreed that the Purchaser shall reassign to the Applicable Seller those Assigned Receivables to be reassigned in accordance with Clause 9.2, by executing a Retransfer Document (at the expense of the relevant Seller) along with the repurchase request, provided that such assignment shall only be effective upon payment of the relevant Retransfer Amount to the Purchaser by the Applicable Seller. 9.3.2 The Purchaser shall give no representations or warranties in respect of the Receivables to be reassigned to the Applicable Seller. 10. SERVICING MANDATE AND DUTIES Appointment of the Servicers 10.1.1 With effect from the Signing Date, the Purchaser appoints each Seller, which hereby accepts such appointment, as the lawful agent of the Purchaser to perform exclusively the servicing duties referred to in Clause 10.2 (the "Servicing Duties"). The mandate of each Seller (the "Servicing Mandate") shall be strictly limited to the performance of the Servicing Duties and shall remain in full force and effect until the Final Maturity Date unless it is terminated pursuant to Clause 10.3. 10.1.2 Where a special proxy or power of attorney is necessary for the performance of any Servicing Duties (in particular, in connection with any litigation), the Purchaser undertakes to grant the same forthwith upon receipt of a written request from the relevant Servicer.

Applicable Seller, it being provided that, in relation to any sub-delegation or sub-contract approved by the Purchaser, such Servicer shall remain fully liable for the performance of services and obligations so delegated under its Servicing Mandate. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Purchaser, the Programme Agent, the Programme Manager or any CP Issuer shall be liable or responsible for the acts of the Servicer or its delegate or sub-contractor nor have any liability for the fees and expenses of any such sub-contractor or delegate. Notification of Debtors and termination of the Servicing Mandate 10.5.1 Notification to Debtors (A) The Purchaser is entitled to deliver or require a Substitute Servicer or the relevant Servicer to deliver Notification Letters to the relevant Assigned Debtors: (1) as from the date on which the resignation of the relevant Servicer becomes effective; (2) upon the occurrence of a Stop Purchase Event (after, for the avoidance of doubt, any relevant grace period); and (3) in relation to any or all Receivables held against a Delinquent Debtor or Defaulted Debtor. 10.5.2 Resignation Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Clause 10.5, each Servicer is only entitled to resign from its appointment subject to a 6 months prior written notice to the Purchaser and such resignation shall only become effective if a Substitute Servicer has been appointed by the Purchaser and has assumed the obligations of such Servicer. 10.5.3 Termination (A) Partial Termination The Purchaser is entitled at any time (i) to terminate the Servicing Mandate in respect of any or all Assigned Receivables held against any Delinquent Debtor or a Defaulted Debtor by sending a notice to the relevant Servicer and (ii) to appoint a Substitute Servicer at the costs of the relevant Servicer which shall remain liable for all of its servicing duties in respect of the other Assigned Receivables.

(2) In addition, the Purchaser shall be entitled, at any time following a Stop Purchase Event or the occurrence of a Seller Deterioration Event and at the cost of the Servicers or of the Parent Company to: (a) deliver or require the Servicers to deliver Notification Letters to all relevant Debtors save for, for the avoidance of doubt, those Receivables that have been repurchased by the Seller pursuant to Clause 9; and/or (b) appoint one or more Substitute Servicers to service all relevant Assigned Receivables; and/or (c) take any other action as set out in the Local Receivables Purchase Agreement entered into by the relevant Seller. 39


 
The partial or full termination of any Servicing Mandate shall not entitle the Servicers to any damages or indemnification in any capacity whatsoever nor affect the obligations of the Servicers in any other capacities under the Transaction Documents, except as otherwise specifically provided in the relevant Transaction Documents. Each Servicer shall be entitled to payment of any unpaid Servicing Fee or Recovery Fee accrued up to the date of termination but shall not be entitled to any further amounts. 10.5.4 Substitute Servicer In any case, upon the appointment of a Substitute Servicer, the Servicer replaced in full or in part by such Substitute Servicer shall (i) take all reasonable steps and do all things to enable such Substitute Servicer to take over all or part of its undertakings as Substitute Servicer and provide any cooperation which may be reasonably required; and (ii) provide the Purchaser, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 7 Business days of receipt, with all promissory notes, bills of exchange, cheques and/or any other payment instrument and endorse them to the benefit of the Purchaser upon its request.

DEEMED COLLECTIONS On any day that any Assigned Receivable is subject (in whole or in part) to a Dilution or that any Debtor makes payment in respect of any Assigned Receivable net of the amount of any Dilution, the Applicable Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in relation to such Assigned Receivable in the principal amount of such Dilution. Any fees and expenses incurred by any Collection Account Bank paid by the Purchaser in relation to the payment of the Collections to the credit of the relevant Collection Account shall be for the account of each Seller and Servicer and such Seller and Servicer, shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in such amount.

CASH DEPOSIT General The obligations of each Depositor in respect of the Deposits and the undertaking of each Depositor to pay amounts due to the Purchaser in respect of the Deposits will remain as long as any Collateralised Obligations are owed or may become owed but no later than the Final Maturity Date.

Application of the Deposit 14.3.1 In case of failure to pay any Collateralised Obligation by the relevant Seller or Servicer (a "Missed Payment"), the Deposit Beneficiary may elect that the obligation of the Deposit Beneficiary to repay a Deposit Refund Amount by Relevant Currency equal to the Missed Payment under Clause 14.4 below shall be accelerated to a date it determines and set off against the obligation of such Seller or Servicer to pay the Missed Payment in an amount equal to the lower of the Missed Payment and the then Outstanding Deposit by Currency, and without the need for any notice or other formality to any party (but by applying the relevant Spot Rate Exchange if applicable). Following such application, the applicable Deposit shall be deemed to be reduced by the relevant amount of the Deposit so applied. 14.3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the Deposit Beneficiary may be enforced independently from any other security interests or remedies available to it under any Transaction Document. Refund of the Deposit 14.4.1 Partial Refund If on any Monthly Calculation Date a Deposit Refund Amount by Relevant Currency is determined to apply on such date by the Programme Agent, the Deposit Beneficiary shall, on the following Monthly Payment Date, refund to the relevant Depositor an amount equal to that relevant Deposit Refund Amount by Relevant Currency. 14.4.2 Entire Refund On the Final Maturity Date, the Deposit Beneficiary shall, repay to each Depositor the then applicable Outstanding Deposit by Relevant Currency, provided that if on such date the funds available to the Deposit Beneficiary for the purposes of discharging the relevant Collateralised Obligations in accordance with Clause 14.3 are insufficient, any Collateralised Obligations remaining unpaid by the relevant debtor shall extinguish the right of the relevant Depositor to the repayment of the applicable Deposit. Transfer of Title Each Party agrees that all right, title and interest in and to any cash which it transfers to the other party pursuant to this Agreement shall vest in the recipient free and clear of any liens, claims, charges or encumbrances or any other interest of the transferring party or of any third person. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, notwithstanding any terms herein to the contrary, all rights, title and interest of the Depositors in the amounts paid to the Deposit Beneficiary in respect of the Deposits shall be transferred to the Deposit Beneficiary, and accordingly the Deposit Beneficiary shall have no limitations on any disposal, transfer or other action it may take in respect of such sums it has received. Consideration No remuneration shall be due by the Deposit Beneficiary to the Depositors and/or by the Depositors to the Beneficiary for any Deposit posted from time by the Depositors on the Cash Collateral Accounts. 15.

If a Relevant Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Relevant Party shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law. 17.1.2 If a Tax Deduction is required to be made by a Relevant Party, the amount of the payment due from that Relevant Party shall be increased by an amount necessary to ensure that, after the making of such Tax Deduction, the Purchaser or such other party to the Transaction Documents 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 and so retained had no such Tax Deduction been made or required to be made. 17.1.3 If, at any time, any Relevant Party is required to make a Tax Deduction (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such Tax Deductions are calculated), such Relevant Party (the "Affected Relevant Party") shall promptly notify the Programme Manager and the Purchaser. 17.1.4 Without prejudice to the provisions of this Clause 17, if the Purchaser or any other party to the Transaction Documents (other than a Relevant Party) is required to make any payment in connection with (a "Payment"): (A) a Tax Deduction as a result of the omission, delay or failure of any Zebra Entity to satisfy any of its obligations under Clause 17.1.1; or (B) any Tax imposed by way of withholding or deduction on any payment in relation to any Assigned Receivable following the delivery of a Notification Letter, the Zebra Entities shall upon written documented demand from the Programme Manager, promptly indemnify such person against such Payment together with any late payment interest, penalties and direct reasonable expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith.
