	2	PURPOSE 

  

	2.1	Services provided by the Factor 

  

	(a)	The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon and subject to which (i) each French Seller assigns to the Factor, Relevant Receivables pursuant to articles
L. 313-23 to L. 313-34 and R. 313-15 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code and (ii) the Factor will purchase Relevant Receivables from the French Sellers. The Agreement shall apply automatically to any Deed of Transfer
delivered by each French Seller to the Factor. 

  

	(b)	Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and for all Relevant Receivables assigned to it by the French Sellers pursuant to the Agreement, the Factor shall:


  

	 	(i)	Pay the Transferred Receivables to the relevant French Seller; and 

  

	 	(ii)	Finance the Financeable Amounts prior to the collection of the Transferred Receivables. 


 

	(c)	It is agreed between the Parties that (i) no notice of Assignment shall be sent to Debtors and (ii) the Factor grants Mandates to each of the French Sellers
for the collection and cashing of the Transferred Receivables assigned by it to the Factor. However, in case of revocation of the Mandates, the Factor shall be responsible for: 


 

	 	(i)	notifying the Debtors of the Assignment of the Transferred Receivables; 


  

					
	            72208170	 	15	 	



            










	 	(ii)	ensuring the collection and cashing of the Transferred Receivables; and 

  

	 	(iii)	managing the Debtors’ positions. 

  

	2.2	Exclusive rights 

  

	(a)	As consideration for the services provided by the Factor, each of the French Sellers undertakes to transfer title to the Transferred Receivables exclusively to the
Factor. Consequently, the French Sellers undertake not to enter into any agreement which would grant rights to third parties over such Transferred Receivables which would negatively affect the rights granted to the Factor hereunder over those
Transferred Receivables. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 2.2. does not affect the right for a French Seller to grant Reductions or Cancellations Items in respect of a Transferred Receivable. 


 

	(b)	In addition, once a Transferred Receivable has been assigned to the Factor in relation to a Debtor, the French Sellers undertake to subsequently offer to transfer to
the Factor all the Relevant Receivables related to such Debtor. 

  

	(c)	Should Financed Amounts in respect of Transferred Receivables over a given Debtor represent less than seventy per cent (70%) of the total amount of Transferred
Receivables over that Debtor, any French Seller may request the Factor in writing to no longer transfer Receivables over such given Debtor. The Factor shall consent to such request within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, it being
understood that, upon the Factor agreeing to such request, all Transferred Receivables over that Debtor shall be Transferred Back to the relevant French Seller pursuant to Clause 5.7. 


 

	(d)	The Parties agree that, in the event any portfolio of outstanding Receivables over a given Debtor is no longer included in the scope of the Agreement (including as a
result of all Transferred Receivables relating to that Debtor having been Transferred-Back), the relevant French Seller may raise financing with third parties (by way of assignment, pledge or transfer) out of the Receivables over such Debtor,
provided that, in case such French Seller intends to raise financing out of Receivables which have been previously Assigned pursuant to the Agreement, it shall inform the Factor prior to raising that financing.

accordance with any document evidencing the origination of the Receivables;

	(iii)	it shall be denominated in Euros (EUR), Great Britain Pounds (GBP), United States Dollars (USD) or Swiss Francs (CHF) or any other currency approved by the Factor;

	            72208170	 	16	 	



            










	 	
being understood that the Embraer Receivables, on the basis of the legal analysis carried out as at the date hereof showing that they do not comply with the Foreign Eligibility Conditions, will
be treated as Tested Unapproved Receivables and will not be eligible for Assignment to the Factor (i) unless the Factor, at its entire discretion, accept at the request of the relevant French Seller to purchase such Receivables (provided that
the Factor may at any time cease to purchase such Receivables) and (ii) provided that the Factor shall have recourse against the relevant French Seller pursuant to Clause 5.5 in case the Assignment of those Embraer Receivables to the Factor
proves to be invalid and/or would prove to be unenforceable after notification is made to the relevant Debtor by way of a letter; 

  

	(v)	the relevant Debtor shall not be an affiliated company of any of the Sellers (an affiliate being the Parent Company and any other entities that are controlled by the
Parent Company); 

  

	(vi)	it shall be fully capable of transfer without any Ban on Assignment; and when a consent is required (such as in case of a Ban on Assignment), such consent must have

Affiliate of that Debtor (acting on behalf of the relevant Debtor), on or prior to the date on which the Receivable is intended to be Assigned (for the avoidance of doubt, failing to receive such consent, the Receivables shall not be eligible for
Assignment to the Factor), it being understood that the consent letters received as of the date of signature of the Agreement in respect of the contracts existing with Rexam and Crown shall be deemed to be satisfactory; 


 

	(vii)	each Receivable shall exist and constitute legal valid, binding and enforceable payment obligations of the relevant Debtor; 


 

	(viii)	it shall be free from any security interest, rights of third parties or adverse claims, and shall not have been previously assigned to third parties or as the case may
be, such security interest, rights of third parties or adverse claims will have been waived to the satisfaction of the Factor prior to the transfer of the relevant Transferred Receivable; 


 

	(ix)	subject to Clause 5.1.3, the invoice documenting it shall have been issued less than 30 calendar days prior to the contemplated assignment to the Factor;


  

	(x)	its maturity date shall fall after the date of the contemplated assignment to the Factor and its maturity shall not be contrary to applicable law and in no case exceed
one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the invoice (except as specifically set out in the Credit and Collection Procedures); and 

  


	(xi)	except for the Receivables deriving from contractual relationships with Debtors that include Tolling and/or Pseudo Tolling transactions (such Receivables being subject
to the application of Clause 8.5.2 below), a Receivable shall not be subject to a right of set-off or counterclaim of the relevant Debtor (except if it is strictly related to such Receivables (such as Reductions or Cancellations Items)). In
particular, for so long as a prepayment (or similar arrangement) including from Airbus Operation SAS or Airbus Operation Limited is outstanding, such Receivables held against each entity having granted such outstanding prepayment will not be
eligible for assignment to the Factor unless, prior to any proposed transfer, such Debtor has written to the relevant French Seller and the Factor in terms satisfactory to the Factor agreeing that it will not set off any such prepayment (or similar
arrangement) due to it from the French Seller against monies payable by it in respect of that Receivable to the Factor.

similar applicable law or regulation granting to the subcontractor a direct claim on the relevant Debtor for the payment owed to it by the relevant French Seller under the subcontract (save if, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Factor, bank

	(b)	the Non-Financeable Amounts that the Factor has elected, in its absolute discretion, to convert into Financeable Amounts. 


 

	5.2.2	Maximum Financeable Amount 

  

	(a)	The Parties agree that (i) the relevant Financeable Amounts, for all French Sellers, cannot exceed in aggregate the Maximum Financing Amount less the aggregate
Financed Amounts and (ii) that, for the avoidance of doubt, the total amount of the Financed Amounts shall never exceed the Maximum Financing Amount. 

  


	(b)	Should the aggregate Financeable Amounts for all French Sellers potentially exceed the Maximum Financing Amount less the aggregate Financed Amounts, the maximum
Financeable Amount in respect of which such French Sellers may request Financing from the Factor shall be reduced pro tanto up to the Maximum Financing Amount less the aggregate Financed Amounts (the “Maximum Financeable
Amount”). 

  

	(c)	The Factor shall allocate the Maximum Financeable Amount among the French Sellers by applying, for each French Seller, the pro rata share of such French Seller
in the aggregate balance of the Asset Accounts of all French Sellers, unless otherwise notified by the Sellers’ Agent to the Factor at the latest at the time the relevant Funding Request is sent to the Factor. 


 

	5.2.3	Funding Requests 

  

	(a)	Following receipt by the French Sellers of the determinations made by the Factor pursuant to Clauses 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 above, each French Seller (or the Seller’s
Agent, acting on behalf of the relevant French Sellers) shall promptly send to the Factor an e-mail specifying the relevant Financeable Amount in respect of which each such French Seller is authorized to request Financing from the Factor (a
“Funding Request”). Funding Requests shall be sent to the following addressees: 
gefacto-dge2@ge.com; and francois.moriniere@ge.com. 


 

	(b)	If a Funding Request is sent by the relevant French Seller (or the Seller’s Agent) to the Factor (i) before 10 a.m. on a given Business Day, Financing will be
made available by the Factor to such French Seller on the same Business Day, or (ii) after 10 a.m. on a given Business Day, Financing will be made available by the Factor to such French Seller on the following Business Day.


  

	5.2.4	Financing, transfer to the Availability Account, or transfer to a Deferred Availability Account 


 

	(a)	For each French Seller, in respect of the Financeable Amounts for which a Funding Request has been sent to the Factor, the Factor shall promptly make the Financing
available to the relevant French Seller by debiting such amounts from the available balance of the applicable Current Account and paying them to the relevant French Seller by issuing a wire transfer (virement) to the account of the
Seller’s Agent (acting on behalf of all French Sellers) or to such account as such French Seller may from time to time specify. The Financeable Amounts referred to in this sub-paragraph (a) shall become Financed Amounts.

	(b)	In respect of the Financeable Amounts for which no Funding Request has been made to the Factor, the Factor shall promptly debit such amounts from the available balance
of the Current Account applicable to the relevant French Seller and credit them to the relevant Availability Account. The Financeable Amounts referred to in this sub-paragraph (b) shall also become Financed Amounts. 


 

	(c)	In case of a Funding Request concerning an amount credited to the Availability Account, the Factor will promptly debit such amount from the Availability Account
applicable to the relevant French Seller, credit it to the applicable Current Account, and then make the Financing available to such French Seller by debiting such amount from the available balance of the applicable Current Account and paying it to
the relevant French Seller by issuing a wire transfer (virement) to the account of the Seller’s Agent (acting on behalf of all French Sellers) or to such account as such French Seller may from time to time specify.


  

	(d)	The Factor shall debit the relevant Non-Financeable Amounts (to the extent not converted into Financeable Amounts in accordance with Clause 5.2.1(b)) from the Current
Account applicable to the relevant French Seller and credit them to the applicable Deferred Availability Account. 

  

	5.2.5	Request for transfer of amounts collected with respect to Financed Amounts for which no Funding Request has been made and with respect to Non-Financeable Amounts


  

	(a)	For each French Seller, amounts collected with respect to (i) Transferred Receivables corresponding to Financeable Amounts for which no Funding Request has been
made and (ii) Non-Financeable Amounts will be credited by the Factor to the available balance of the relevant Current Account of the relevant French Seller. Such French Seller may request to the Factor, once per calendar week only (except if
the available balance of the applicable Current Account is above five million Euros (EUR 5,000,000), or the Euro equivalent thereof for any applicable foreign currency, in which case such amount may be requested at any time, once per Business Day
and before 10.00 am on that Business Day), the payment of such amounts by sending an e-mail to the addressees specified in Clause 5.2.3. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts so collected shall not be credited to the relevant Availability Account.


  

	(b)	Any payment made under this Clause shall be made available by the Factor to the relevant French Seller by debiting such amounts from the available balance of the
relevant Current Account and paying them to such relevant French Seller by issuing a wire transfer (virement) to the account of the Seller’s Agent (acting on behalf of all French Sellers) or to such account as such French Seller may from
time to time specify. Cut-off times and value date terms shall be the same as those specified in Clause 5.2.3. 

  

	5.3	Definancing or Transfer-Back of Disputed Receivables 

  

	(a)	Each French Seller undertakes to promptly inform the Factor upon becoming aware that a Transferred Receivable has become a Disputed Receivable.


  

	(b)	From the issuance of a notice of dispute by the French Seller to the Factor, the relevant French Seller shall have a maximum term of thirty (30) calendar days to
obtain a commitment to pay from the Debtor of the relevant non matured Disputed Receivable. If the relevant Disputed Receivable is overdue, such period shall not exceed thirty (30) calendar days after its due date. At the end of such period and
in case of non payment, a Disputed Receivable shall be deemed a Non-Approved Receivable. Disputed Receivable becoming Non-Approved Receivables may be Definanced. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	31

a legal action, the relevant French Seller may not benefit from the period mentioned in paragraph (b) above and the Transferred Receivable may be immediately Transferred Back pursuant to the procedure set forth in Clause 5.7 below.


  

	5.4	Definancing of Defaulted Receivables 

  

	(a)	Any Transferred Receivable remaining unpaid in whole or in part by a Debtor for over thirty (30) calendar days after its due date (a “Defaulted
Receivable”) will be Definanced by way of debit from the relevant Current Account of an amount equal to the amount of the Defaulted Receivable and of credit of such amount to the relevant Deferred Availability Account.


  

	(b)	So long as the relevant French Seller is not in breach of its obligations under the Financing Facilities Documents, the procedure detailed in paragraph (a) above
shall not apply if the relevant French Seller has requested the Credit Insurer to handle the collection of such Defaulted Receivables, in which case the relevant French Seller shall (a) notify the Factor of its intention to do so no later than
five (5) Business Days before the end of the 30-calendar day past due period for the Defaulted Receivables and (b) provide the Factor with satisfactory evidence in relation to the taking of proceedings and/or recovery under the Credit
Insurance Policy so as to demonstrate that the relevant French Seller has duly informed the Credit Insurer (including by making the required declarations to the Credit Insurer in a timely manner), it being understood that if such Defaulted
Receivable remains unpaid for a period of ninety (90) calendar days following its due date, the Factor will have the right to Definance the Defaulted Receivable. 


 

	(e)	In any case, at the sole discretion of the Factor, any Defaulted Receivable remaining unpaid in whole or in part by a Debtor for over one hundred and twenty
(120) days after its due date may be Transferred Back pursuant to the procedure set forth in Clause 5.7 below. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the relevant French Seller shall be entitled, at any time, to request that a Defaulted
Receivable be Transferred Back pursuant to the procedure set forth in Clause 5.7 below. 

  

	5.5	Definancing or Transfer-Back of Untested Small Receivables or Embraer Receivables 

 The Factor may, at its entire discretion (subject to prior notice to the relevant French Seller and to the Seller’s Agent), Definance or, at the request of the relevant French Seller, Transfer Back,
any Untested Small Receivable or Embraer Receivable (i) that proves to be invalid and/or would prove to be unenforceable after appropriate notification is made to the relevant Debtor; or (ii) representing Exceeding Amounts (as the case may
be). 
  

	5.6	Transfer-Backs of certain Transferred Receivables 

  

	(a)	Any Transferred Receivable (i) which did not comply with the eligibility criteria set forth in Clause 3.1 above at the time of its Assignment or (ii) was an

	            72208170	 	32	 	



            










	(b)	Any Transferred Receivable in respect of which a Default under Clause 11.2.2(c)(iii) has occurred may be Transferred Back at the request of the relevant French Seller,
unless the relevant Transfer-Back relates to a Default under Clause 11.2.2(c)(iii) which has occurred in respect of Clause 4.1.2(a), in which case the Transfer-Back shall be subject to the prior approval of the Factor (not to be unreasonably
withheld). 

  

	5.7	Procedure for the Transfer-Back of Transferred Receivables 

  

	(a)	The Parties agree that any Transfer-Back of all relevant Transferred Receivables to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall take place through an automatic rescission
(résolution de plein droit) of the Assignment having taken place over such Transferred Receivables, in accordance with the following procedure: 


 

	 	(i)	if the Transfer-Back is requested by a Party pursuant to the Agreement, by no later than 10.00 a.m. on each relevant Business Day, that Party shall deliver to the other
Party a Transfer-Back File containing the list of all outstanding Transferred Receivables originated by such French Seller which have been assigned to the Factor and that are to be Transferred Back to it (the “Affected
Receivables”), 

  

	 	(ii)	by no later than 10.00 a.m. on the immediately following Business Day, the Factor shall notify to the relevant French Seller the details of the calculations of the
rescission price of the Affected Receivables which shall be, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, equal to the amount of the Payment made by the Factor with respect to such Affected Receivables less the collections, the Reductions or
Cancellations Items and any Insurance Indemnification relating thereto (the “Transfer-Back Price”); 

  

	 	(iii)	by no later than 10.00 a.m. on the immediately following Business Day, the relevant French Seller shall instruct the Factor to make the payment of the relevant
Transfer-Back Price by way of debit of such relevant Transfer-Back Price from the relevant Current Account and credit of such amount to the Asset Account, provided that the payment of such Transfer-Back Price shall only be deemed to occur once the
rule set forth in Clause 8.1.5 has been complied with. 

  

	(b)	Upon full payment of the agreed Transfer-Back Price, the Assignment of the Transferred Receivables shall be automatically rescinded (résolu de plein
droit) without any further formality.

particular, each of the French Sellers will seek the Approval of the Credit Insurer by providing the Credit Insurer with a list of Debtors. 

  

	(b)	The Parties agree that the Credit Insurance Policy for each French Seller shall be structured such that in each year, the annual Credit Insurer maximum liability

shall be determined by the Sellers’ Agent and provided by the French Sellers (or by the Sellers’Agent) to the Factor at the latest 45 days before the anniversary date of each relevant Credit Insurance Policy.

	(d)	It is agreed between the Parties that the Factor may, in order to protect its rights, after a period of 5 days following a written notice to the relevant French Seller,

clientèle and all payment defaults likely to arise in connection with the Transferred Receivables. 

  

	6.2	Changes to the Credit Insurance Policy 

  

	(a)	Each of the French Sellers shall seek the prior approval of the Factor for any change relating to the terms of any Credit Insurance Policy, the Credit Insurer (to the
extent such credit insurer does not meet the criteria set out in the definition of Credit Insurer) or the terms of the Credit Insurance Assignment Agreements, unless any such change shall not affect the level of protection or management of the
Credit Insurance Policy from which the Factor benefits pursuant to the terms of the Financing Facilities Documents. 

  

	(b)	Any non-renewal or termination of a Credit Insurance Policy or any other circumstance that may result in the Factor no longer benefitting from the delegation of rights
to Insurance Indemnification under the Credit Insurance Assignment Agreements, must be promptly notified to the Factor, and if the Factor is not informed in due time by the French Sellers, the Factor shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement
without notice, without prejudice to any other rights it may have. 

  

	(c)	The Factor shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to one or more French Sellers in case: 


 

	 	(i)	the Credit Insurer’s rating falls below “investment grade” (that is, below BBB-for Standard & Poor’s and below Baa3 for Moody’s) and,
within thirty (30) calendar days of the Factor notifying the relevant French Seller of the downgrading, (A) the relevant French Seller does not find a successor credit insurer capable of making electronic data transfers with the Factor and
whose rating is at least “investment grade” and (B) the Factor does not benefit from satisfactory replacement Credit Insurance Assignment Agreements from the new credit insurer, it being understood that, during that 30-day period, the
Factor may Finance new Receivables from the relevant French Sellers at its entire discretion; 


  

					
	            72208170	 	34	 	



            










	 	(ii)	it cannot benefit, in full or in part, of the delegation of rights to Insurance Indemnification under the Credit Insurance Assignment Agreements.


  

	(d)	The Factor shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement in case of termination or non-renewal of a Credit Insurance Policy, with effect as of such termination date or
non-renewal date and such terminated Credit Insurance Policy has not been replaced, as of such termination date, by another Credit Insurance Policy approved by the Factor. 


 

	6.3	No recourse up to the Insurance Indemnification 

  

	(a)	Any Transferred Receivable, taken individually, (i) being within the Approval Limit and (ii) subject to sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) below, remaining
within the limit of the Credit Insurer’s maximum liability (limite maximum de décaissement) shall be deemed to be an “Approved Receivable” and the Transferred Receivables which are not Approved Receivables shall
be deemed to be “Non-Approved Receivables”. 

  

	(b)	For the avoidance of doubt, upon any claim (sinistre) arising in respect of a Transferred Receivable and any Insurance Indemnification being paid by the Credit
Insurer in that respect, the Credit Insurer’s maximum liability (limite maximum de décaissement) shall be adjusted to an amount equal to (i) the Credit Insurer’s maximum liability (limite maximum de
décaissement) prior to that indemnification event less (ii) the amount of such Insurance Indemnification (the “Remaining Indemnification Amount”). 


 

	(c)	It is further understood that, following the application of sub-paragraph (b) above, the determination of whether or not a Transferred Receivable is an Approved
Receivable shall be made pursuant to (i) the relevant Approval Limit and (ii) the applicable Remaining Indemnification Amount. 

  

	(d)	The amount up to which the Credit Insurer has given its Approval in relation to the Approved Receivables shall constitute the “Approval Limit”.


  

	(e)	The “Indemnification Basis” will be determined by the Credit Insurer after the conduct of all customary checks of any potential disputes and exclusions
under the Credit Insurance Policy. 

  

	(f)	The “Insurance Indemnification” actually paid by the Credit Insurer will be calculated as the Indemnification Basis multiplied by the applicable
indemnification rate as specified in the Credit Insurance Policy. 

  

	(g)	The Factor shall have no recourse against the French Sellers up to the Insurance Indemnification according to the terms and conditions of the relevant Credit Insurance
Policy as amended from time to time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as from the date of this Agreement, Insolvency Proceeding (or any equivalent proceedings under any applicable law) or protracted default (carence).


  

	7	COLLECTION MANDATE AND CASHING MANDATE 


Each of the French Sellers has well-proven administrative structures and methods for the management of its Receivables and the Parties agree that each
French Seller should retain control of collection and cashing in respect of its Debtors. Consequently, the Factor accepts to grant each of the French Sellers mandates (mandats) under the terms specified below and subject to compliance by each
of the French Sellers with the Credit and Collection Procedures, which form an integral part of the Agreement. 

  

					
	            72208170	 	35	 	



            










	7.1	Common interest 

 The Mandates are
stipulated in the joint interest of both Parties. Consequently, the Parties agree that the Mandates are not without consideration, since each of the French Sellers has an essential commercial interest in keeping control of collection and cashing
from its Debtors and the terms and conditions of the Mandates have been considered by the Parties in the context of the global economy of the Agreement. In particular, the remuneration to be paid by the French Sellers to the Factor takes into
account the fact that there is no collection fee to be paid by the Factor to the French Sellers in consideration for the collection of the Transferred Receivables. 
  

	7.2	Collection Mandate 

 Each of the French
Sellers is appointed by the Factor as its agent (mandataire) to carry out collection (recouvrement) of Transferred Receivables (the “Collection Mandate”). 

 

	7.3	Cashing Mandate 

  

	(a)	Each of the French Sellers is appointed by the Factor as its agent (mandataire) to receive the collections of the Transferred Receivables onto the Collection
Accounts in accordance with the Collection Accounts Opening Agreements (encaissement and lettrage, the “Cashing Mandate”). 

  

	(b)	Each of the French Sellers shall expressly indicate the domiciliation and details of the relevant Collection Account in any of the invoices sent to the Debtors. The
settlements and payments that each of the French Sellers will receive under the Collection Mandate and Cashing Mandate will be credited to the Collection Account, the operating methods of which are established in the relevant Collection Account
Opening Agreement. 

  

	(c)	The Collection Account Opening Agreement shall expressly provide in this respect that: 


 

	 	(i)	the exclusive purpose of the Collection Account is to receive funds corresponding to Transferred Receivables in order for those funds to be swept on a daily basis onto
the Factor’s account in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Collection Accounts Opening Agreements; 

  

	 	(ii)	each of the French Sellers shall refrain from debiting funds from the Collection Account, the Factor being the only Party authorised to withdraw funds by debiting the
Collection Account; and 

  

	 	(iii)	the Bank shall refrain from operating any set-off between the balance of the Collection Account and that of any other accounts opened with the Bank in the name of each
of the French Sellers. 

  

	(d)	(i)     Should: 

  

	 	(A)	the Factor (in its reasonable opinion) require a French Seller to open a new Collection Account with a new Bank as a result of either (i) the inability of the
intended parties to a Collection Account Opening Agreement to agree on terms of a Collection Account Opening Agreement which are satisfactory to the Factor or the termination of the relevant Collection Account Opening Agreement; or (ii) the
occurrence or continuation of any issue in the performance of the relevant Collection Account Opening Agreement resulting from the non compliance by the Bank of its obligations under the relevant Collection Account Opening Agreements; or
(iii) the long term unguaranteed and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank falling under “A” (for Standard & Poor’s) and “A2” (Moody’s), or 


  

					
	            72208170	 	36	 	



            










	 	(B)	the relevant French Seller be required to open a new Collection Account (and consequently the relevant French Seller and the Factor be required to enter into a new
Collection Account Opening Agreement and a new Collection Account Guarantee Agreement) with a new Bank as a result of the existing Bank having sent a notice in order to terminate the relevant Collection Account Opening Agreement pursuant to the
terms thereof (and the applicable termination period), 

 then, in each case, the relevant French Seller(s) shall
use its best efforts (obligation de moyens) (by the sending of written notices instructing the Debtors to pay on such new Collection Account with the new Bank) to ensure that such Debtors effectively pay the Transferred Receivables to the
credit of the relevant new Collection Account. 
  

	 	(ii)	If a Debtor continues to settle the invoices sent to it be the relevant French Seller on to an erroneous bank account for more than four (4) months from the
receipt by the relevant Debtor of the initial written notice from the relevant French Seller instructing such Debtor to pay on such new Collection Account pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above, the relevant French Seller may be required by the
Factor to send to the relevant Debtors monthly reminders of such new payment instructions and the Factor shall have the right to: 

  

	 	(A)	exclude the relevant Debtor from the Financing Facilities until such time as such Debtor effectively pays the Transferred Receivables into the relevant and adequate
Collection Account; or 

  

	 	(B)	with the prior consent of the French Seller, disclose the purchase and assignment of the Transferred Receivables to the relevant Debtor by sending a notification letter
to the relevant Debtor. 

  

	 	(iii)	Should any Debtor not comply with the instruction received by it from the relevant French Seller to pay the Transferred Receivables into the new Collection Account,
such non-compliance shall not be deemed to adversely affect the rights and obligations of the French Sellers under the Financing Facilities so as to give rise to a Default hereunder. 


 

	(e)	Any amount (including any Insurance Indemnification) relating to (i) Receivables that have been Definanced or Transferred Back by the Factor pursuant to the
Agreement or (ii) Receivables which have not been assigned to the Factor or (iii) any amounts unrelated to the Transaction will be turned over to the relevant French Seller following reconciliation of the relevant French Seller’s
debtor files with the Factor’s debtor files, such reconciliation to be initiated by the relevant French Seller. Such amounts shall be paid by the Factor to such account as the relevant French Seller may designate, at the latest on the day
falling five (5) Business Days following the sending by such French Seller of a written and justified request. 

  

	7.4	Diligence and general obligations of the agent 

  

	(a)	Each of the French Sellers undertakes to identify and individualise the Transferred Receivables, both in its computer systems and accounting ledgers, as from the entry
into force of the Agreement. In order to prove its diligence, each of the French Sellers will forward the Transferred Receivable Ledgers (made substantially in the form of Annex 9 hereto) to the Factor at the latest five (5) Business
Days after the end of each month, or at any time upon the request of the Factor (acting reasonably), for the purposes of the reconciliation of the relevant Asset Accounts with the Transferred Receivables Ledgers. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	37	 	



            










	(b)	Each of the French Sellers undertakes to exercise its duties under the Mandates in a wise and prudent manner as if it were managing its own Receivables and if it were
handling the collection and cashing of its own Transferred Receivables, the preservation of its rights related thereof and, more generally, to perform its obligations under the Mandates in the manner of a careful, diligent and informed agent
(mandataire). Furthermore, each of the French Sellers undertakes to comply with its Credit and Collection Procedures. 

  

	7.5	Report on the performance of the Mandates 


Each of the French Sellers undertakes to: 
  

	(a)	report on the performance of the Mandates on a weekly basis to the Factor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Procedures, by providing all information relating
to the management of the Transferred Receivables and in particular, any related breakdown of cashing and related charges (it being understood that this report shall take the form of the A/R ledger (grand livre clients non soldés));


  

	(b)	promptly notify the Factor, by any written means or any other support approved by the Parties, of it becoming aware of the occurrence of any demand for extension,
litigation relating to the Transferred Receivables or Insolvency Proceeding in relation to any Debtor to the extent an outstanding Transferred Receivable owed by such Debtor is in an amount in excess of one hundred and fifty thousand Euros (EUR
150,000); and 

  

	(c)	inform the Factor of any change affecting the terms and conditions governing its contractual relations with its Debtors, to the extent such change may have a Material
Adverse Effect. 

  

	7.6	Factor’s controls and audits 

  

	(a)	The Factor shall be entitled at all times to carry audits or financial reviews on each of the French Sellers, by itself or through a third party, in accordance with
Clause 4.2(b). The cost of each such audit (except the financial review, which shall be free of charge) is established at three thousand Euros (EUR 3,000), excluding VAT and disbursements. Such costs shall be borne by each relevant French Seller up
to an aggregate maximum amount per year of six thousand Euros (EUR 6,000) and in any case to an aggregate amount of thirty thousand Euros (EUR 30,000) for all the French Sellers and, in any amount beyond this limit by the Factor.


  

	(b)	Each of the French Sellers undertakes to provide its full cooperation to the Factor for the implementation of these audits and controls, as well as for all procedures
of issuing circulars to the Debtors on the relevant French Seller’s letterhead, with a view to obtain confirmation from that Debtor on the outstanding amount of their receivables toward such French Seller. In order to preserve the
confidentiality of the transactions during the term of the Mandates, these circulars will be addressed on the relevant French Seller’s letterhead. 

  

	(c)	For compliance purposes, subject to Clause 4.2(b) above, the Factor (or its designee) will also be entitled to review, on a random basis, during the two yearly field
audits referred to in Clause 4.2(b) above, any and all documents evidencing the existence and validity of the Transferred Receivables including, notably, the related invoices (factures), purchase orders (bans de commande), certificates
of transport (bons du transporteur), or expedition certificate (bon d’expédition), or delivery certificate (bon de livraison).

	7.7.1	Global revocation 

  

	7.7.1.1	Revocation of Mandates as a result of the termination of the Agreement 

 The termination of the Agreement may, at the sole discretion of the Factor, entail the simultaneous revocation of the Mandates.

 The
global revocation of the Mandates for any French Seller, notified in accordance with Clause 17.1, may occur in the following cases:

legal situation; or (B) a significant deterioration of a French Seller’s financial position; or (C) severe deficiencies in a French Seller’s accounting management; or (D) significant delays or any aggravation of delays for
payment in respect of suppliers and unsecured or secured creditors (such as inter alia the French Trésor Public, Urssaf, caisses de retraite etc.) of a French Seller (other than resulting from the normal course of such French
Seller’s business) which, individually or collectively, would have a Material Adverse Effect; 

  

	 	(ii)	for a period of forty-five (45) days, the occurrence of at least three (3) seizures or attachments from several creditors of a French Seller (or other
equivalent proceedings under relevant laws, such as inter alia under French law avis à tiers détenteurs and saisies of all types) for an aggregate amount in excess of (A) three hundred thousand Euros
(EUR 300,000), for any of the French Sellers (other than Alcan Rhenalu); and (B) six hundred thousand Euros (EUR 600,000), for Alcan Rhenalu, unless such seizures or attachments are finally dismissed within forty-five (45) days from the
sending of a notice to that effect to the relevant French Seller; 

  

	 	(iii)	in case of the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a French Seller which is continuing (other than resulting from Clause 11.2.2(c)(iv)), for which the
Factor has decided not to terminate the Agreement, and in particular, a failure by a French Seller to comply with its Credit and Collection Procedures or a failure to domicile payments of Transferred Receivables in the relevant Collection Account;


 then the Factor may, by sending a ten (10) Business Days prior notice to the relevant French Seller (with a
copy to the Parent Company) terminate the Mandates in relation to such relevant French Seller; 
  

	(b)	Revocation of the Mandates with a twenty (20) Business Days’ prior notice 


in case of the Factoring Accounts, the ledgers or any documents of a French Seller in relation to the Transferred Receivables evidence any
of the following events: 
  

	 	(i)	for a continuous period of three (3) consecutive months, the percentage of invoices overdue by more than thirty (30) calendar days is in excess of ten per
cent (10%) of the outstanding amount of Transferred Receivables assigned to the Factor as calculated on a monthly basis (the “Overdue Threshold”), provided that: 


  

					
	            72208170	 	39	 	



            










	 	(A)	if, upon the Overdue Threshold being exceeded, it appears that the invoices overdue by more than thirty (30) calendar days for one Debtor account for more than
seven per cent (7%) of the outstanding amount of Transferred Receivables, the Factor may terminate the Mandates of such relevant French Seller in relation to that Debtor only and the Factor shall be entitled to stop being assigned Receivables
over that Debtor, and, then 

  

	 	(B)	if the Overdue Threshold is still in excess of ten per cent (10%) of the outstanding amount of Transferred Receivables after having excluded the amount of invoices
overdue relating to the Debtor referred in sub-paragraph (A) above from the calculation thereof, the Factor may terminate the Mandates of such relevant French Seller in relation to all Debtors of that French Seller; 


 

	 	(ii)	for a continuous period of three (3) consecutive months, the existence of Indirect Payments and Dilutions, in excess of ten per cent (10%) of the outstanding
amount of Transferred Receivables assigned to the Factor, without prejudice of the application of Clause 8.4, (the “Indirect Payments and Dilutions Threshold”), provided that: 


 

	 	(A)	if, upon the Indirect Payments and Dilutions Threshold being exceeded, it appears that the Indirect Payments and Dilutions for one Debtor account for more than seven
per cent (7%) of the outstanding amount of Transferred Receivables, the Factor may terminate the Mandates of such relevant French Seller in relation to that Debtor only and the Factor shall be entitled to stop being assigned Receivables over
that Debtor; and, then 

  

	 	(B)	if the Indirect Payments and Dilutions Threshold is still in excess of ten per cent (10%) of the outstanding amount of Transferred Receivables after having
excluded the amount of Indirect Payments and Dilutions relating to the Debtor referred in sub-paragraph (A) above from the calculation thereof, the Factor may terminate the Mandates of such relevant French Seller in relation to all Debtors of
that French Seller; 

  

	 	(iii)	for a continuous period of three (3) consecutive months, a negative difference of ten per cent (10 %) or more between (i) the amount of settlements actually
cashed, as recorded to the credit of the OAA and (ii) cash application details (lettrage), as recorded to the debit balance of the OAA; 

  

	 	(iv)	any absence of credit movements noted in the relevant Collection Account for five (5) consecutive Business Days (or ten (10) consecutive Business Days during
each month of August); 

  

	 	(v)	breach of any of a French Seller’s undertakings under Clause 4.2 to the extent that such breach has a Material Adverse Effect; 


 

	 	(vi)	any change in the Credit and Collection Procedures (to the extent that such change has a Material Adverse Effect) and has not been approved by the Factor,


 then the Factor may, by sending a twenty (20) Business Days prior notice to the relevant French Seller
(with a copy to the Parent Company), terminate the Mandates in relation to such relevant French Seller. 

  

					
	            72208170	 	40	 	



            










	7.7.2	Specific revocation 

 The Mandates cease
to be applicable when a Transferred Receivable is Transferred Back to a French Seller or when a legal action is filed by the Factor under Clause 5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, in case of a Transfer-Back of a Transferred Receivable, Clause 7.8
shall not be applicable. 
  

	7.8	Consequences of the revocation of the Mandates 

  

	7.8.1	Information of the Debtors, collection and cashing by the Factor 

  

	(a)	Upon revocation of the Mandates, the Factor may in relation to the relevant French Seller: 


 

	 	(i)	notify the Debtors, and any other third parties as the case may be, of the existence of this Agreement and the Assignment of the Transferred Receivables, and it shall
restrain them from paying the French Sellers. Such notification shall be made under the form set out in Annex 4; 

  

	 	(ii)	address to the Debtors the originals of invoices obtained from such French Seller; 


 

	 	(iii)	ensure the collection of all Transferred Receivables, including Transferred Receivables assigned prior to the date of revocation of the Mandates;


  

	 	(iv)	set the Holdback Reserve for all new Receivables to be Assigned as from the relevant revocation date, at the higher of (i) ten per cent (10%) of all
Transferred Receivables outstanding, including VAT, less (A) the Specific Reserve and (B) the sums credited to the relevant Deferred Availability Accounts; (ii) the sum of ten per cent (10%) and the Average Dilution Rate of all
Transferred Receivables outstanding, including VAT, less (A) the Specific Reserve and (B) the sums credited to the relevant Deferred Availability Accounts; and (iii) the minimum amount set out in Clause 8.4.2(b) below;


  

	 	(v)	charge five Euros (EUR 5) of fixed servicing and notification costs per outstanding Transferred Receivable or Receivable to be Assigned as from the relevant revocation
date (if any) by immediate debit of the Current Account. 

  

	(b)	As soon as the revocation of the Mandates becomes effective and in relation to any new Transferred Receivable (if any), the relevant French Seller shall include the
following wording in its invoices: “La créance relative à la présente facture a été cédée à GE FACTOFRANCE SNC dans le cadre des articles L. 313-23 à L. 313-34 du Code
monélaire et financier. Pour étre libératoire, votre réglement doit étre effectué directement à I’ordre de GE FACTOFRANCE Tour FACTO - 18 rue Hoche - Cedex 88 - 92988 LA DEFENSE CEDEX TEL:
01.46.35.70.00 – GE FACTOFRANCE (RIB: [—]) qui devra être avisé de toute réclamation relative à cette créance”. 


 

	7.8.2	Management of the Debtors positions 

  

	7.8.2.1	Ordinary Collection 

  

	(a)	As from the revocation of the Mandates and as long as it remains the owner of the Transferred Receivables, the Factor (or its agent, as the case may be) shall have the
exclusive right to manage the collection and recovery thereof. It shall manage the relevant accounts, grant or refuse any postponements, extensions or arrangements, with or without discounts, as may be requested by the Debtors. Subject to actual
collection, the Factor (or its agent, as the case may be) shall credit payments to the Asset Account. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	41	 	



            










	(b)	Each of the French Sellers agrees to provide its assistance to the Factor and to provide in particular any and all documents, correspondence and special powers of
attorney that may be reasonably requested in writing by the Factor for the purpose of collecting the Transferred Receivables (subject to confidentiality undertaking). For the Non-Approved Receivables which are also Disputed Receivables, the Factor
shall not bear the duly justified collection fees and expenses which may be incurred after their maturity date for a contested collection. In the event that the Factor prepays such duly justified fees and expenses, the Factor shall be entitled to
debit the relevant amounts from the Current Account. 

  

	7.8.2.2	Power of Attorney 

 In order to enable the
Factor to cash without delay any instruments of payment relating to a Transferred Receivable received by it from the Debtors, each of the French Sellers grants the Factor a power of attorney in order to affix any indication or signature necessary
onto the said instruments of payment. In the event that it appears that payments made in favour of the Factor are not related to Transferred Receivables, the Factor shall be deemed to have cashed the same in its capacity as an agent, even after the
termination of this Agreement. Amounts so cashed shall be credited to the Current Account and the provisions of Clause 7.3(e) shall apply. The powers of attorney mentioned in this Clause are stipulated in the joint interest of both Parties.

  

	7.8.2.3	Retention of title 

  

	(a)	For sales made subject to retention of title, the Factor shall not be required to exercise the French Sellers’ rights of revendication in its stead, unless
requested in writing by the relevant French Seller and accepted by the Factor. 

  

	(b)	Any such exercise of the relevant French Seller’ rights of revendication shall be carried out at the French Seller’s expense. In the event that the relevant
French Seller’s rights of revendication are exercised by the Factor, the French Seller agrees to provide any assistance necessary to the Factor, in particular for the identification and recovery of the assets and to repurchase the
recovered assets for a price which may not be less than two thirds of the amount initially invoiced to the Debtor. In any event, the French Seller shall not be entitled to require the Factor to bear the risks of loss or destruction of the goods
sold. 

  

	7.8.2.4	Penalties and late payment interest 

 Each
of the French Sellers shall remain entitled to waive its rights to any penalties and late payment interests payable by the Debtors in relation to the Transferred Receivables and to make corresponding adjustments to its books. For this purpose, each
of the French Sellers shall verify the Asset Account by all means at its disposal. As specified in Clause 3.2, invoices corresponding to penalties and late payment interests are Excluded Receivables. 

 

	7.8.3	Direct payments, Credit Notes 

  

	7.8.3.1	Payment to the French Sellers 

 When
Indirect Payments are made directly to the French Sellers for the payment of Transferred Receivables, the French Sellers may only receive them as an agent of the Factor, and an equivalent amount shall be paid once a week by such French Seller to the
Collection Account or to such other account as the Factor may designate in writing. Failing such repayment being made within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Indirect Payment, the Factor may debit the corresponding amount from the
Current Account, without prejudice to any other recourse. 

  

					
	            72208170	 	42	 	



            










	7.8.3.2	Compliant Credit Notes 

 Each of the
French Sellers agrees not to change the scope of the rights attached to a Transferred Receivable in a manner which would negatively affect the rights granted to the Factor hereunder over those Transferred Receivables, subject to the Factor’s
approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Factor shall be deemed to have accepted (i) Credit Notes and adjusted invoices issued in the normal course of business and in accordance with normal trade practices or (ii) any extension on
payment terms, within the limit set forth in the relevant Credit Insurance Policy or subject to the Factor’s approval. In any event, the French Sellers agree to deliver to the Factor all information on Credit Notes or extensions on payment
terms related to the Transferred Receivables no later than five (5) Business Days after their issuance or granting. For the avoidance of doubt, such Credit Notes will be included in the file transmitted by the French Sellers to the Factor
pursuant to Clause 5.1.1.2(b)(i). 
  

	7.8.3.3	Non-compliant Credit Notes 

 Credit notes
that are not in accordance with usual business practices or issued in fraud of the Factor’s rights shall be deemed unenforceable against the Factor even where they have been credited to the Asset Account. Without prejudice to any and all
recourse existing against the French Sellers, this rule shall apply in particular to all unsubstantiated or non-compliant Credit Notes, Credit Notes for which a written justification has not yet been provided by the relevant French Seller to the
Factor five (5) Business Days following a request to that effect. 
  

	8	FACTORING ACCOUNTS 

 The Factor shall open
and manage the Current Accounts (as well as all related sub-accounts detailed below) in order to record the amounts paid or payable by the Factor to each French Seller pursuant to the Agreement and those which are due for any reason whatsoever by
each of the French Sellers to the Factor. 
  

	8.1	Current Accounts 

  

	8.1.1	Single Accounts 

  

	(a)	Transferred Receivables and liabilities of each French Seller towards the Factor (and vice-versa) which are reciprocal, connected and indivisible, shall be reflected as
respective credit and debit items under the Current Accounts and shall therefore be subject to set-off when due for payment. The same rule shall apply in the event of the opening of Sub-Accounts in order to enhance the monitoring of the transactions
made under the Agreement. 

  

	(b)	There shall be one Current Account between each of the French Sellers and the Factor for each currency in which Transferred Receivables are denominated in accordance
with the Agreement. 

  

	(c)	Each of the Current Accounts and the Sub-Accounts shall form an indivisible whole and single account between each of the French Sellers and the Factor and the overall
balance thereof after set-off of credits and debits shall be considered at all times - and in particular after the termination of the factoring transactions arising hereunder - as the balance of each of the Current Accounts.


  

	(d)	At the request of either a French Seller or the Factor, if such Parties agree to do so, the Factor may set-off the credit and debit balances of Current Accounts
denominated in different currencies. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	43	 	



            










	8.1.2	Overdraft 

 The existence of a Current
Account shall not give rise to any overdraft rights. Any debit balance shall be immediately due without any need for a formal notice and shall be immediately reconstituted with amounts resulting from the Assignments of new Transferred Receivables
or, failing such Assignments, with cash transferred by the relevant French Sellers upon request from the Factor, it being understood that the relevant French Seller shall make the requested cash payment within five (5) Business Days from such
request. In any case, any debit balance of a Current Account shall bear interest, even after the relevant Current Account shall have been closed, at the rate of the Special Financing Commission, until full reimbursement. 

 

	8.1.3	Transactions 

 Each Current Account shall
in particular be credited with the amount of the relevant Transferred Receivables, as well as all with debits from the Sub-Accounts. 
 The
Current Account shall be debited by the amounts made available by the Factor to the relevant French Seller, as well as the amounts transferred to the credit of the Sub-Accounts and any and all amounts due by any French Seller to the Factor, in
particular under this Agreement. 
  

	8.1.4	Statements 

 Monthly statements issued by
the Factor shall be deemed to have been irrevocably accepted by the French Sellers, except if a written and valid claim is raised within the applicable statute of limitations for commercial matters, that is, five (5) years from the closing date
of the said statements. 
 Any French Seller (or the Parent Company) shall be entitled to request in writing from the Factor any information or
justification relating to any credit or debit entry. 
  

	8.1.5	Payments 

 Any payment made with respect
to a Transferred Receivable by way of debit from the relevant Current Account shall be deemed to have effectively occurred only up to, and to the extent of, the amount of the credit balance (if any) of the Current Account as at the relevant date the
Current Account is so debited. 
  

	8.1.6	Closing 

 After the termination of the
Agreement and the complete settlement of transactions with respect to the relevant French Sellers, the Current Accounts with respect to such relevant French Sellers shall be closed and the remaining balances (if they are positive) shall be refunded
to such relevant French Sellers. 
  

	8.2	Asset Account 

 Outstanding amounts of
Transferred Receivables are recorded as debit items under the Asset Account. Any payments related to Transferred Receivables are recorded as credit items under the Asset Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Asset Account is not a Sub-Account.

  

	8.3	Offset and Adjustment Account 

 In order
to enable an accounting follow-up of the performance of the Mandates, it is agreed to record, in a Sub-Account named Offset and Adjustment Account, the following operations: 

 

	(i)	on the credit side, cashing of Transferred Receivables, 


  

					
	            72208170	 	44	 	



            










	(ii)	on the debit side, information on transfers, cheques for cashing and bills due as itemised in the “settlements situation” files forwarded by each of the
French Sellers, in accordance with the technical methods approved by the Parties, as well as pursuant to Clause 5.1.1.2(b)(i). 


In principle, the balance of the Offset and Adjustment Account should be zero. In practice, this will not be the case due to the time difference of
operations. If there are credit balances relating to payments of amounts which are not related to Transferred Receivables, such balances will thus be charged to the Current Account, after evidence from the relevant French Seller substantiating them
as indicated in Clause 7.3(e). In case of a debit balance of the Offset and Adjustment Account, such balance may be applied to a Deferred Availability Account. 
  

	8.4	Holdback Reserve 

  

	8.4.1	Purpose 

 The Holdback Reserve is a
Sub-Account the purpose of which is to guarantee that the Factor may exercise all contractual remedies. 
  

	8.4.2	Constitution 

  

	(a)	For each French Seller, the Holdback Reserve shall be set at the higher of (i) ten per cent (10%) of all Transferred Receivables outstanding, including VAT,
less (A) the Specific Reserve and (B) the sums credited to the relevant Deferred Availability Accounts, (ii) the sum of five per cent (5%) and the Average Dilution Rate of all Transferred Receivables outstanding, including VAT,
less (A) the Specific Reserve and (B) the sums credited to the relevant Deferred Availability Accounts and (iii) the minimum amount set out in paragraph (b) below, and shall be funded by way of direct debit on Payments. Downward
or upward adjustments shall be calculated by the Factor and shall apply to new Receivables to be Assigned and made by it by crediting the relevant Current Account at the relevant Assignment date. Any event taken into account in the Holdback Reserve
shall be taken into account only once, and only with respect to such reserve (to the exclusion of the Specific Reserve). 

  

	(b)	The minimum amount of the Holdback Reserve is fixed for each French Seller as follows: 


 

	 	(i)	for Alcan Rhenalu, at EUR 12,350,000; 

  

	 	(ii)	for Alcan Aerospace, at EUR 1,150,000; 

  

	 	(iii)	for Alcan Softal, at EUR 370,000; 

  

	 	(iv)	for Alcan France Extrusions, at EUR 940,000; and 

  

	 	(v)	for Alcan Aviatube, at EUR 160,000. 

 In any case, the amount of the Holdback Reserve for all French Sellers shall never be higher than the total outstanding amount of the Transferred Receivables. 

 

	(c)	In the event that a French Seller is placed under an Insolvency Proceeding or that the termination of the Agreement occurs, the applicable Holdback Reserve for all new
Receivables to be Assigned as from the relevant date shall be increased by another ten per cent (10%) of all Transferred Receivables outstanding, including VAT, less (A) the Specific Reserve and (B) the sums credited to the relevant
Deferred Availability Accounts. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	45	 	



            










	8.4.3	Utilisation 

 The Factor may draw from the
Holdback Reserve the sums necessary to cover a debit position of the relevant Current Account. In such case, the contractual percentage and/or threshold shall be immediately reconstituted with amounts resulting from the Assignments of new
Transferred Receivables or, failing such Assignments, with cash transferred by the relevant French Sellers upon request from the Factor, it being understood that the relevant French Seller shall make the requested cash payment within five
(5) Business Days from such request. Upon termination of the relationship between the Parties or at any other time as agreed between the Factor and the relevant French Seller, the remaining balance (if it is positive) of the Holdback Reserve,
as calculated on the basis of the amounts of all Transferred Receivables outstanding (including VAT) and the Specific Reserve fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the agreed restitution date, may be restituted to the relevant French Seller, in
which case it shall be transferred to the credit of the relevant Current Account on the agreed restitution date. 
  

	8.5	Deferred Availability Accounts or Reserves 

  

	8.5.1	Purpose 

 Deferred Availability Accounts
(or Reserves) will be opened for each French Seller (in relation to each applicable currency) to facilitate the monitoring of (i) Non-Financeable Amounts, (ii) Disputed Receivables which have been Definanced, (iii) Defaulted
Receivables which have been Definanced and (iv) the debit balance of the Offset and Adjustment Accounts, as well as amounts which are subject to seizure or opposition. These amounts are transferred to the credit of the Current Account upon the
regularization of the relevant transaction. 
  

	8.5.2	Constitution of a Specific Reserve 

  

	(a)	The Specific Reserve refers to Tolling and Pseudo Tolling reserve which is respectively set up for each French Seller in order to cover compensation risks arising from
Transferred Receivables deriving from contractual relationships with Debtors that include Tolling and/or Pseudo Tolling transactions, unless non set-off agreements satisfactory to the Factor are entered into between the French Sellers and their
relevant Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt, such agreements shall be fully enforceable by the Factor against the relevant Debtors. Any event taken into account in the Specific Reserve shall be taken into account only once, and only with respect to
such reserve (to the exclusion of the Holdback Reserve). 

  

	(b)	The Specific Reserve shall be determined by the Factor on the Closing Date on the basis of the Tolling report for the month of November 2010, as transmitted to the
Factor on or prior to the Closing Date and shall be adjusted on a monthly basis by the Factor according to the representation and data received from the relevant French Sellers and based on and in respect of the account payable ledger and the
Tolling report provided by the French Sellers in accordance with the provisions of Clause 4.2(m)(ii)(c). 

  

	8.6	Availability Account 

 The Availability
Account is a Sub-Account to be opened for each French Seller (in relation to each applicable currency), the purpose of which is to record the amount of Financeable Amounts (as determined by the Factor pursuant to Clause 5.2 which are available to
the French Sellers and for which the relevant French Sellers have not sent a Funding Request to the Factor in relation thereto. 

  

					
	            72208170	 	46	 	



            










	9	REMUNERATION OF THE FACTOR 

  

	9.1	Factoring Commission 

  

	9.1.1	Purpose 

 The Factor shall receive a
Factoring Commission in consideration of the non-financial services it provides to the French Sellers, as specified in Clause 2.1. 
  

	9.1.2	Establishment 

  

	(a)	The rate of the Factoring Commission is set at zero point fifteen per cent (0.15%) (excluding VAT) of the amount (including VAT) of each Transferred Receivable. The
aggregate minimum annual amount of the Factoring Commission for all French Sellers shall be one million two hundred thousand Euros (EUR 1,200,000) excluding VAT. 


 

	(b)	The aggregate amount of Factoring Commission collected during a calendar year shall not, in any case, be less than the minimum annual amount referred to in
sub-paragraph (a) above (such amount to be calculated, upon termination of the Agreement, on a pro rata basis from the beginning of the calendar year until the termination date). 


 

	(c)	In case of termination of the Agreement by reason of the Factor’s decision, the minimum annual amount referred to in sub-paragraph (a) above shall only be
paid with respect to the then current six-month period at the termination of the notice period. In case of termination of the Agreement resulting from the French Sellers’ decision, the minimum annual amount referred to in sub-paragraph
(a) above shall be immediately payable as soon as the termination of the Agreement is notified. 

  

	(d)	Should the Agreement be terminated after the Commitment Period, the minimum annual amount referred to in sub-paragraph (a) above shall be calculated, upon
termination of the Agreement, on a pro rata temporis basis from the beginning of the calendar year until the termination date. 

  

	9.2	Special Financing Commission (SFC) 

  

	9.2.1	Principle 

  

	(a)	The Factor shall be entitled to a Special Financing Commission in respect of the amounts it Finances. 


 

	(b)	The Special Financing Commission shall be equal to: 

  

	 	(i)	with respect to the Receivables denominated in Euro, the arithmetic average of the daily EURIBOR 3month rates of the preceding month plus two point twenty five per cent
(2.25%) per annum (excluding VAT); and 

  

	 	(ii)	with respect to the Receivables denominated in currencies other than Euro (Great Britain Pounds (GBP), United States Dollars (USD) or Swiss Francs (CHF) and, in respect
of any other currency, such applicable rate as the Parties may agree), the arithmetic average of the daily LIBOR 3month rates of the preceding month applicable to that currency plus two point twenty five per cent (2.25%) per annum (excluding
VAT). 

  

	(c)	It shall be calculated at the end of each month on the outstanding amounts Financed and actually paid by the Factor from the sending of Funding Requests (including VAT)
and it shall be paid monthly. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	47	 	



            










	(d)	At the end of each month, after taking into account the Value Date applied to the cash receipts and outlays, an SFC statement shall be prepared and the debit balance
shall be debited from the relevant Current Account. 

  

	9.2.2	Reduction of the Special Financing Commission 

 As soon as the Holdback Reserve will be at least equal to the minimum threshold amount specified in Clause 8.4.2, and as long as it will remain at least the same, the Holdback Reserve will be remunerated
by an amount equal to one hundred per cent (100%) of the Special Financing Commission rate. Once calculated, such amount will be deducted from the Special Financing Commission to be paid by the relevant French Seller in accordance with Clause
9.2 for the relevant month. 
  

	9.2.3	Value Dates 

 Any payment made from the
Current Account, or to the Asset Account, shall be made for value in accordance with the provisions of Annex 1 (Value Dates). 
  

	9.3	Arrangement Fee 

 An Arrangement Fee equal
to two point twenty five per cent (2.25%) of the Maximum Financing Amount (excluding VAT) shall be paid by the French Sellers and the Parent Company, acting jointly and severally, to the Factor, which fee shall come into existence as at the
date of signature of the Agreement and shall become due and payable at completion of the Acquisition. 
  

	9.4	Non-Utilization Fee 

 So long as the
Commitment Period is outstanding, each of the French Sellers shall pay monthly the Non-Utilization Fee to the Factor. 
  

	9.5	Specific pricing and collection or transfer charges 

  

	(a)	All additional services of the Factor other than those described in Clause 2.1 shall be subject to a specific price determination detailed in the Client Guide or,
otherwise, in a quotation submitted to the French Sellers for their approval. 

  

	(b)	The Current Account shall be debited by the amount of collection or transfer charges all of which shall be entirely borne by the French Sellers.


  

	9.6	Effective Global Rate 

  

	(a)	For the application of the provisions of Clause R.313-1-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, each Party acknowledges that, taking into account the specificity
of this Agreement (in particular the variable nature of the SFC rate), the Effective Global Rate cannot be calculated on the signing date of the Agreement but an indicative calculation of such rate shall be provided in this Clause 9.6.


  

	(b)	In application of Clause R.313-1-1 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the indicative calculation, as of 9 December 2010, on the basis of a EURIBOR 3 month
at 1.04% as of 9 December 2010, of the Effective Global Rate applicable to the Agreement is 3.35% per year. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	48	 	



            










	(c)	This rate is calculated, as an indication only, on the basis of a 365 day year (366 days for leap years) during the term of the Agreement, pursuant to the terms and
conditions that normally apply, namely the following assumptions: 

  

	 	(i)	an average delay in payments by the Debtors of sixty (60) calendar days; 


 

	 	(ii)	a Special Financing Commission as specified in Clause 9.2; and 

  

	 	(iii)	a Non-Utilization Fee as specified in Clause 9.4; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Holdback Reserve as specified in Clause 8.4. 

  

	(d)	Even if the reference rate of the Special Financing Commission does not vary, the Effective Global Rate may increase or decrease during the term of the Agreement
depending on changes to the various assumptions set out above and/or contractual parameters. 

  

	10	TAXES 

  

	(a)	Each of the French Sellers shall pay all duties, taxes (including withholding tax) and levies (a “Tax”) which are due in connection with the Assignment
of the Transferred Receivables and the perfection of such Assignments, as of the date of their performance (except corporate income Taxes or branch profit Taxes derived from profit recorded at the level of the Factor). 


 

	(b)	The Factor declares that it will act for the purposes of this Agreement from its head office in France. The Factor shall inform the French Sellers if it intends to act
through another office outside of France and undertakes not to act from an establishment or office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. Should the establishment or office through which the Factor acts under this Agreement become situated in a
Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, the Factor undertakes to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming not deductible from that French Seller’s taxable income for French tax
purposes by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to the Factor being established or acting through an establishment or office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, including (but not limited to) by transferring its rights and
obligations under the Factoring Agreement to another establishment or office. 

  

	(c)	Each French Seller and the Parent Company shall make all payments to be made by it hereunder without any tax deduction or withholding (a “Tax
Deduction”), unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. 

  

	(d)	Each of the French Sellers shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax
Deduction) notify the Factor accordingly. During the thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice to the Factor of the Tax Deduction, the relevant Parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to mitigate the application of that Tax
Deduction, it being understood that, during that thirty (30) day period, the relevant French Seller shall be entitled, by sending another four (4) Business Days prior notice to the Factor, to suspend temporally the offer of the affected
Receivables. The Parties further agree to negotiate in good faith the consequences of any change in the laws or regulations on the VAT rate being applicable to assignment of receivables. 


 

	(e)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a French Seller and that no agreement is found by the Parties at the end of the thirty (30) day period referred
in sub-paragraph (d) above, the amount of the payment due from the French Seller (including the payment of fees) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount
equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. 


  

					
	            72208170	 	49	 	



            










	(f)	A payment shall not be increased under sub-paragraph (e) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by France on a payment made to the Factor if
such Tax Deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Factor in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. 


 

	(e)	To this effect, the Factor is hereby authorised to debit the relevant Current Account by the full amounts due by the French Seller to the Factor under this Agreement
assuming that there is no Tax Deduction required or, if required, by the effect of the application of sub-paragraph (e) above. 

  

	(f)	If a French Seller makes any payment in respect of which it is required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or
withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority (an “Authority”) within the time allowed for such payment under Applicable Law and shall deliver the Factor within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof an original receipt
issued by such Authority evidencing the payment to such Authority. 

  

	(g)	In the event that any French Seller pays any additional amount or amounts pursuant to sub-paragraph (e) above (an “Additional Tax
Payment”), and in the event the recipient thereof determines in good faith, that, as a result of such Additional Tax Payment, it (or the tax group to which it belongs) is effectively entitled to obtain and retain a refund of any taxes or a
tax credit in respect of taxes which reduces the tax liability of such recipient (or the tax group to which it belongs) (a “Tax Saving”), then such recipient shall, after effective receipt of such Tax Saving, under the terms and
conditions under sub-paragraphs (h) and (i), reimburse to such French Seller such amount as such recipient shall reasonably determine in good faith to be the proportion of the Tax Savings as will leave such recipient (after such reimbursement)
in no better or worse position than it would have been in had the payment by such French Seller in respect of which the foregoing additional tax payment was made not been subject to any withholding or deduction on account of Taxes.


  

	(h)	No provision of this Agreement shall interfere with the right of the Factor to arrange its Tax or any other affairs in whatever manner it thinks fits. Therefore, if the
Factor determines that a claim of any Tax Saving entails an identified tax risk for it or requires the Factor to disclose information relating to its Tax or other affairs in a manner which is identified as being possibly harmful to the Factor (the
“Tax Saving Risk”), then upon reasonable justification of such Tax Saving Risk to the French Seller, the Parties agree to discuss the tax issue of the Tax Saving to which the French Seller is entitled to under the terms and
conditions of sub-paragraph (g) and negotiate in good faith to try to avoid or mitigate any damageable consequences of such Tax Saving. The Parties agree that this negotiation will take place no later than ninety (90) days following the
end of the financial year to which the Tax Saving relates. 

  

	(i)	If the Factor makes any payment to a French Seller pursuant to sub-paragraph (g) and the Factor subsequently determines, subject to reasonable justification to the
French Seller, that the Tax Saving in respect of which the reimbursement was made was not available or has been withdrawn or that it was unable to use such Tax Saving in full, the Seller shall reimburse the Factor such amount equal to the Tax Saving
previously reimbursed to the Seller that became unavailable, withdrawn or that the Factor was not able to use. 

  

	(j)	The rights of the Factor under this Clause 10 shall not benefit to any Authorised Assignee (or more generally to any assignee of the Transferred Receivables other than
the Factor). 

  

	(k)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a French Seller (or that there is any increase in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), or if any amount
payable to the Factor is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that French Seller by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to the Factor
being incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, and as a result such French Seller decides to withdraw from this Agreement, then no early termination premium will be due by such
French Seller or the Parent Company.

 ANNEX 7 
 CREDIT AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES 
 [Please refer to following page]


  

					
	            72208170	 	79	 	



            









 ALCAN ENGINEERED PRODUCT  

CREDIT & COLLECTION POLICY – French Sites 

DECEMBER 2010 
 This Policy
is applicable to Alcan Rhenalu, Alcan Softal, Alcan, Aerospace, Alcan Aviatube and Alcan France Extrusion. 
 1. INTRODUCTION 

The objectives of this Credit & Collection Policy are: 
 (1) To manage the liquidity risk of doing business with third party customers; 
 (2) To limit
exposure to sovereign risk related to third-party export sales (i.e., cross-border transactions); 
 (3) To ensure the highest quality of
accounts receivable possible consistent with achieving sales objectives; 
 (4) To participate in optimizing cash flow through sound
credit & collection management practices. 
 Financial Controllers and Credit Managers are responsible, at their respective
levels, for the consistent application of and compliance with this Credit & Collection Policy. 
 2. CREDIT MANAGEMENT

 Credit review on all customers should be performed before the opening of any new customer account and on all existing customers at least
once a year, with a view to manage the risk of potential bad debt losses. 
 A credit limit must be defined for each customer. These
credit limits must be reviewed regularly but no less than once a year by BU and Site Financial Controllers or Credit Managers. Adverse information, whenever received, should trigger an immediate reassessment of the customer’s credit
limit (i.e., prior to the next periodic review). 
 BU and Site Financial Controllers and/or Credit Managers must be given sufficient
authority to delay shipments to customers perceived as risky until the perceived risk is mitigated or dismissed. 
 Systems should be in
place to halt (if possible automatically, otherwise manually) any orders placed that, if invoiced, will put the customer in excess of the approved credit limit level. 

  

					
	 	 	 	 	



            









 3. CREDIT PROTECTION 
 Use of Credit Insurance is highly recommended. In case a Business Unit chooses not to insure a particular receivable, it must document its justification. A Trade Credit Insurance Program is
in place with Coface and is already used by all the sites in scope of this policy. 
 Exhibit 1 provides information as to which countries are
deemed acceptable to sell to on an open terms basis and those that are deemed unacceptable. In the latter case, sales can only proceed if appropriate protective measures are taken, namely confirmed irrevocable letter of credit (with a bank
authorized by Treasury Dept), export credit insurance or cash in advance. Exception to this rule must be approved by AEP’s CFO and Treasurer. 
 4. PAYMENT TERMS 
 Payment terms must be compliant with local regulations and in any case
be less than 120 days. Payment terms of 120 days or more must be approved by AEP’s CFO and Treasurer. In particular, if and to the extent approved by AEP’s CFO and Treasurer, Crown may be given the right to defer payments due to AEP in
November and December until January of the following year. 
 If a customer challenges the invoice due date for a valid reason (for instance if
it has not yet received the merchandise) the Credit Manager responsible shall be entitled to extend proportionally the payment term of the receivable. 
 As stated in Coface contract, the maximum credit is 180 days after invoice date. 
 5. CASH
COLLECTION 
 The designated Collection Officer shall use all reasonable efforts (including contacting the relevant customer) in order to
allocate promptly and accurately the cash received and any associated credit memo to the relevant customer. 
 All cheques received shall be
lodged to the relevant Bank at the latest 5 business days after the reception date. 
 In case of payment made by way of set-off by a customer,
the collection officer shall contact, via phone, mail or fax, such customer to determine which Receivables have been paid in such manner. 

Customer communications should, as much as possible, be developed prior to any past due situation 

The designated Collection Officer should contact customers (via telephone, mail or fax) promptly when an invoice is due and enquire about the causes for
non-payment. Collection calls need to be performed at least one time within the 15 days following the due date and then occur at least once every 2 weeks. 

  

					
	 	 	 	 	



            









 The BU / Site Financial Controller has the capacity to block an order if he /she believes that the failure
to pay result from a cash flow or credit difficulty from the relevant customer, irrespective of such customer not having exhausted the approved credit limit. If receivables remain unpaid for more than 30 days without reasonable explanation, the BU /
Site Financial Controller will block the order or find appropriate solution with the customer. 
 In case a commercial dispute relating to a
Receivable remains unresolved for more than 60 days after the invoice due date, the Collection Officer is authorised to commence any administrative, legal or other action to obtain payment of the Receivable. 

The relevant BU / Site will promptly communicate to Coface all insured receivables that have not been paid within 210 days following the invoice date
(“déclaration de menace de sinistre”) and ask Coface to intervene for litigation after 270 days following the invoice date. 

6. CREDIT MEMO PROCEDURES 
 If a customer
makes a deduction from the amount payable by it under any receivable (except if such deduction results from any rebate, discount or allowance) or upon receipt of a notification from a customer related to any discrepancies such as shortages, or
damaged merchandise, improper pricing or other claim, the designated Collection Officer shall promptly investigate such claim or reduction. If the relevance of the claim is proved, the BU / Site shall promptly issue a credit memo to clear the claim.

 In the event that the site challenges or refuses the validity of the claim or the claimed amount, it shall promptly conduct negotiations with
the relevant customer to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. 
 If a customer returns products or goods, as soon as the merchandise is
returned at the shipping location, a credit memo shall be issued. 
 7. ACCRUAL FOR BAD DEBTS AND WRITE OFF 

As soon as the BU / Site has any doubt about the financial capacity of any customer to honour the payment of any Receivables, it shall promptly accrue a
bad debt provision in relation to such customer adjusted, as appropriate, for the effect of any applicable Coface credit insurance. 
 As soon
as the site has the information that a receivable is uncollectible (e.g., the customer has filed for bankruptcy), the BU / Site shall write-off the relevant Receivable adjusted, as appropriate, for the effect of any applicable Coface credit
insurance. 

  

					
	 	 	 	 	



            









 8. MONTHLY REPORTING 
 Every month, BUs must communicate the list of customers with a Receivable balance in excess of USD 3 million (or its equivalent in another currency) and/or overdues in excess of USD 500 thousand
(or its equivalent in another currency) to AEP HQ by means of the Monthly Management Report. This information is consolidated in a global AEP Credit Report and communicated to BU / Site senior management and AEP HQ management, with follow-up
discussion—as deemed appropriate—in the monthly senior management review meetings.
