 Annex 1 
 Transfer of French Receivables 
 FRENCH PROVISIONS 

Reference is made to a factoring agreement to be dated 16 December 2010 and entered into between Alcan Aluminium Presswerke GmbH and GE CAPITAL (the
“Factoring Agreement”). 
 Capitalised terms defined in the Factoring Agreement have, unless expressly defined in this
Agreement, the same meaning in this Agreement. 
 The following clauses of the Factoring Agreement shall be amended/replaced and shall read as
follows: 
  

	1.	AMENDMENTS TO THE FACTORING AGREEMENT 

  

	(a)	The parties agree to amend Clause 2.2 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by following paragraphs 2.2.1 to 2.2.5:


 “2.2.1 For the purpose of effecting the transfer of the French Receivables pursuant to the Factoring
Agreement, GE CAPITAL and the ORIGINATOR shall follow the steps and procedure described below. 
 2.2.2 Transfer mode 

On each Transfer Date, the transfer of French Receivables from the ORIGINATOR to GE CAPITAL shall be performed by way of a transfer
document (acte de cession de créances professionnelles) complying with articles L. 313-23 et seq. and articles R. 313-15 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code Monétaire et Financier) and in
the form set out in Schedule 1 (a French Transfer Document). 
 2.2.3 Procedure 

The ORIGINATOR shall offer to sell French Receivables on each Transfer Date by sending the original of a duly signed French Transfer
Document in the form set out in Schedule [1]. The Computer File is attached to each French Transfer Document. The Computer File attached to this French Transfer Document shall allow the identification and individualization of the said French
Receivables. 
 By no later than [6] p.m. on the Transfer Date, GE CAPITAL shall sign and insert the date on the French Transfer
Document. The signed and dated French Transfer Document shall constitute the acceptance of GE CAPITAL to purchase the French Receivables offered pursuant to the offer to sell. 
 2.2.4 Legal consequences 
 The French Receivables together with any ancillary right
attached thereto, shall be transferred to GE CAPITAL and such transfer shall be, as matter of French law: 
  

	 	(a)	valid between GE CAPITAL and the ORIGINATOR; 

  

	 	(b)	enforceable against the corresponding French Debtors; and 

  

	 	(c)	enforceable against third parties, 








 without any other formality, and irrespective of the law governing the French Receivables
and the law of the jurisdiction where the corresponding French Debtors are resident, in accordance with articles L. 313-23 et seq. and articles R. 313-15 et seq. of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code Monétaire et
Financier) as of the date affixed on the relevant French Transfer Document, on which the relevant French Transfer Document is signed by GE CAPITAL provided however that: 
 (i) the corresponding Debtors and provided may validly discharge their respective debts under the corresponding Receivables by making payment to the relevant ORIGINATOR until a notice of
transfer in the form of Schedule [2] is served to them; and 
 (ii) the corresponding Debtors may assert all defences
(including set-off) arising prior to a notice of transfer referred to in sub-clause (i) above is served on them. 
 2.2.5
Governing law 
 This Clause 2.2 shall be governed by French law.” 

 

	(b)	The parties agree to amend Clause 3 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by inserting the following Clause 3.2. (the
remaining paragraphs of Clause 3 being redenominated accordingly): 

 “3.2 On each Transfer Date, GE

	 	(i)	the Offer Letter is correct and complete and was dispatched by the ORIGINATOR within the time line set out in clause 2.3 of the Factoring Agreement;


  

	 	(ii)	the relevant French Receivable is Eligible; 

  

	 	(iii)	the French Debtor has been granted a payment term not exceeding 60 days after the relevant invoice date; 


 

	 	(iv)	the relevant French Receivable is not a claim against an Affiliated Company; 


 

	 	(v)	the relevant French Receivable is within the scope of the Debtor Limit; 

  

	 	(vi)	the sum of the amount of the relevant Receivable and all other purchased and unpaid French Receivables against the relevant French Debtor or debtor credit unit –
within the meaning of § 19 of the German Banking Act – does not exceed 30% of all purchased and unpaid French Receivables of the ORIGINATOR against all of his French Debtors; 


 

	 	(vii)	the payment of the purchase price in respect of the purchased Receivable will not result in and excess of the Maximum Commitment; 


 

	 	(viii)	the legal relationship from which such French Receivables arise is governed by French law. 


 

	 	(ix)	the contracts pursuant to which such French Receivables arises do not contain a confidentiality clause or a clause banning the transfer of such French Receivables or
requesting the approval of the parties of the purchaser of such French Receivables; 

  

	 	(x)	such French Receivable is a valid obligation enforceable against the French Debtor; 


  
 - 38 -










	 	(xi)	the payment of such French Receivable in full is (subject to any contractual set-off and right of counterclaim) legally enforceable against the Originator to whom the
invoice is addressed ; 

  

	 	(xii)	the transfer by the Originator to GE CAPITAL of such French Receivable, GE CAPITAL’s ownership of such French Receivable and the transfer to GE CAPITAL of
information about a French Debtor is not made in violation of: 

  

	 	•	 	 the contract pursuant to which such French Receivable arises or any other agreement to which the Originator is a party to an extend that would have a
material adverse effect on the legal transferability or collectability of, or the legal title of GE CAPITAL to such French Receivable; or 


  

	 	•	 	 any applicable laws; 


  

	 	(xiii)	the principal outstanding amount of such French Receivable, as notified in the relevant invoice, is the amount due in respect of that French Receivable under the
relevant contract; 

  

	 	(xiv)	all sums due from or obligations owed by the Originator to the French Debtor have been paid or performed and the Originator does not have any other obligations towards
the French Debtor which, in either case, would give the French Debtor such right to reduce the amount payable for the French Receivable; 

  

	 	(xv)	the correct name and address of the French Debtor and any required purchase order number appear on each invoice or credit note, on any documents evidencing the French
Receivable as required and on the invoice; 

  

	 	(xvi)	the contracts pursuant to which such French Receivable arises have not been entered into with suppliers of the Originator; and 


 

	 	(xvii)	the contracts pursuant to which such French Receivables arise have not been entered into with a public sector company.” 


 

	(c)	The parties agree to amend Clause 4 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by inserting the following Clause 4.2 (the
remaining paragraphs of Clause 4 being redenominated accordingly): 

 “4.2 On each Transfer Date, the
purchase price for the French Receivables purchased on that date shall be equal to the aggregate Nominal Amount of the French Eligible Receivables purchased on that date, reduced by deductions relating to the relevant French Eligible Receivable
(such as discounts) that were granted to the relevant French Debtor by the ORIGINATOR, and deducting the Factoring Commission and Interest. 
 If a French Non Eligible Receivable becomes a French Eligible Receivable after its Transfer Date because of a modification of the applicable Debtor Limit or otherwise, GE CAPITAL shall then pay to the
ORIGINATOR an additional purchase price equal to the aggregate Nominal Amount of such French Receivable that have become eligible after the Transfer Date, reduced by deductions relating to the relevant French Receivables (such as discounts) that
were granted to the relevant French Debtor by the ORIGINATOR, and deducting the Factoring Commission and Interest. 
 In the
Bad Debt Case, the purchase price is reduced by the VAT amount included in the Receivable which the ORIGINATOR must claim from the tax authorities (see clause 6.4), at the time the legal prerequisites allowing a recovery of such VAT
amounts are fulfilled. GE CAPITAL undertakes to provide the ORIGINATOR with all information and documents necessary for claiming such VAT amounts from tax authorities. 

  
 - 39 -









 The purchase price regarding the French Receivables purchased on any given Transfer Date
(excluding the Purchase Price Reserve and subject to the settlement of Interest) shall fall due when such French Receivables are purchased. Interest will be charged monthly in arrears. 

Any payments in respect of the purchase price and any charges are made by book entry by GE CAPITAL on the Settlement Account.”

  

	(d)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 19 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by adding the following paragraphs 19.5 to
19.7: 

 “19.5 The ORIGINATOR, after having offered to sell the French Receivables to GE CAPITAL,
undertakes not to cancel or vary any of the following with respect to such French Receivable; 
  

	 	•	 	 any contract pursuant to which a French Receivable arises; or 



 

	 	•	 	 any related rights; or 


  

	 	•	 	 any payment terms or settlement discounts; 


 without GE CAPITAL’s written consent; 
 19.6 The ORIGINATOR undertakes to make
sure that every contract pursuant to which a French Receivable arises shall only be entered into in the ordinary course of its trading activities as disclosed to GE CAPITAL;” 

 

	(e)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 2 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by adding the following paragraph 2.5:


 “2.5 The ORIGINATOR represents and warrants that the receivables identified in the Offer Letter as

	(f)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 4.1 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by the following paragraph 4.6:


 “4.1 The purchase price for each purchased French Receivable shall be deemed to be inclusive of any
value added tax (VAT) (if any) and GE CAPITAL shall not be required to increase the purchase price for such VAT.” 
  

	(g)	The parties agree to replace Clause 6 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by inserting the following paragraph 6.3 (the
remaining paragraphs of Clause 6 being redenominated accordingly): 

 “6.3 Bad Debt Case means,
for the French Receivables, that the relevant Debtor: 
 (a) fails to pay a Receivable within 120 days after its
due date without disputing its obligation to pay prior to or after the expiry of such period; or 
 (b) is in situation of
état de cessation des paiements or is subject to bankruptcy proceedings (sauvegarde, redressement or liquidation judiciaire) or amicable reorganisation (conciliation or mandat ad hoc) or is in a
situation or is subject to a procedure similar to those referred to above.” 

  
 - 40 -










	(h)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 6 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by inserting the following paragraph
6.6: 

 “6.6 GE CAPITAL hereby grants power of attorney and appoints the ORIGINATOR to act as its
agent, in its name and behalf, pursuant to the terms of a mandate (mandat) which the ORIGINATOR hereby accepts to collect and recover from the relevant tax administration, VAT which has already been paid or accounted for in respect of
assigned French Receivables which have become uncollectible.” 
  

	(i)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 6 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by adding the following paragraph 6.7:


 “6.7 The ORIGINATOR shall take such steps and do all things as may be necessary or appropriate for the
recovery and/or reimbursement from the relevant tax administration of the amount of VAT which has already been paid or accounted for in respect of assigned French Receivables which have become uncollectible and are eligible for such recovery and/or
reimbursement from the relevant tax administration. 
 Furthermore, the ORIGINATOR, acting as servicer of the assigned French
Receivables shall transfer to GE CAPITAL the amount of VAT bad debt relief corresponding to the said assigned French Receivables that shall be recovered from, or refunded by, the relevant tax administration.” 

 

	(j)	The parties agree that Clause 8.1 of the Factoring Agreement shall not apply to the French Receivables.

	(l)	The parties agree to amend Clause 13 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the assignment of French Receivables by inserting the following paragraph 13.2 (the
remaining paragraphs of Clause 13 being redenominated accordingly): 

 “13.2.1 In the Disclosed
Procedure for the French Receivables, GE CAPITAL (i) will notify the French Debtors of each Transfer Date by delivering a notice of transfer in the form of Schedule 2 and, (ii) may request any or all French Debtors to accept the
assignment of French Receivables owing by them in accordance with article L.313-29 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. 

In addition, the ORIGINATOR will indicate on its invoices a clearly visible note of assignment.” 

 

	(m)	The parties agree to supplement Clause 21 of the Factoring Agreement in respect of the French Receivables by inserting the following paragraph 21 (h):
