Schedule 10


Hedging Policy




1     Introduction




		
	1.1 
	This Schedule 10 (Hedging  Policy) constitutes the  Hedging  Policy for the purposes  of  the Facility Agreement between, among others, ltaltractor Operations S.pA as Borrower and lntesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. as lntercreditor Agent, ITO Facility Agent and ITO Lender.  Under clause 21.8 (Hedging) of the Facility Agreement, the Borrower is obliged to comply with the terms of this Hedging Policy.




1.2     The objective of the Hedging Policy is to mitigate the Borrower's exposure to interest rate risk.




		
	1.3 
	The  Parties  agree  that  the  ITO  Hedging  Agreements  are  to  be  used  solely  as  a  risk management tool to protect the Borrower from adverse movements in financial markets.  The Borrower shall not enter into the ITO Hedging Agreements  or derivative transactions as  a means of speculating on movements in the underlying financial markets.




2     Obligation to enter ITO Hedging Agreements




2.1     The Borrower shall:




		
	2.1.1 
	enter into ITO Hedging Agreements that satisfy the requirements of paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 of this Hedging Policy by no later than seven Business Days from the date of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement No. 1; and




		
	2.1.2 
	promptly, upon entry into any ITO Hedging Agreement, deliver to the lntercreditor Agent an original or certified copy of that ITO Hedging Agreement, an original or certified copy of each confirmation in relation to that Hedging Agreement.




		
	2.2 
	The Borrower shall only enter into an ITO Hedging Agreement with lntesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. or any Affiliate of lntesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. or, subject to the consent of the Arranger, another person who is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and who is attributed a credit rating by S&P of at least A- or by Moody's of at least f




3.


		
	2.3 
	The  Borrower shall  enter into  and maintain at  all  times  ITO  Hedging Agreements for  an aggregate notional amount equal to the Loan in the amount of €30,000,000 at the prevailing market conditions at the time of entering into of such ITO Hedging Agreements.




		
	2.4 
	The ITO Hedging Agreements contemplated by paragraph 2.3 shall match the repayment profile of the Facility in respect of which such ITO Hedging Agreement nominally relates.





118






		
	2.5 
	In respect of any period ending prior to the first Repayment Date, the Borrower shall ensure that the due date for value (as referred to in Section 2(a)(ii) of the ISDA Master Agreement (2002) and as specified in the applicable confirmations) in respect of each ITO Hedging Agreement shall coincide with the Interest Payment Dates relative to the Loan in respect of which such ITO Hedging Agreement nominally relates.




		
	2.6 
	In respect of any period commencing on or after the first Repayment Date, the Borrower shall ensure that each due date for value in respect of each ITO Hedging Agreement shall coincide


· with each Interest Payment Date in respect of which such ITO Hedging Agreement nominally relates.


3     Prepayment of Loans




3.1     If the Borrower:




		
	(a) 
	makes a prepayment (whether in whole or in part) of any of the Loans to which any of the ITO Hedging Agreements nominally relate; or




(b)     cancels  all  or part  of  any of  the Commitments  to  which  any  of  the ITO  Hedging


Agreements nominally relate,




then the Borrower shall immediately close out and terminate sufficient ITO Hedging Agreements (or part thereof) as is necessary to ensure that the aggregate notional principal amount of the ITO Hedging Agreements is no greater than 105% of the outstanding amount under the Facility to which such ITO Hedging Agreements relate.
