Article 5: Acceptance of debtors

On the signature of the present agreement, and then, two times a month, the Client will transmit to FCF the file of all debtors included in the application scope, mentioned in article 1. The debtors benefiting from an outstanding credit granted by the Client at the date of the audit prior to the signing of the Agreement benefit from a credit approval up to that amount. The new debtors for whom the outstanding is inferior or equal to €80,000 (eighty thousand) automatically benefit from a credit approval by default. For any new outstanding amount above €80,000 (eighty thousand) on a private debtor, the Client shall transmit to FCF any non confidential information in its possession allowing FCF to assess the solvency. Failing non confidential information in its possession is communicated, the approval is deemed refused.

FCF may decide at any time to reduce or terminate acceptance without that this reduction or termination lessen the amount of the transfer of receivables authorization of transfer mentioned in article 7 (€60,000,000) granted to the Client, in which case it shall inform the Client of its decision by any means. Such decisions shall have immediate effect, although receivables corresponding to services rendered on or before the date on which the Client received notice shall continue to be accepted. All decisions to reduce or terminate acceptance shall have retroactive effect from 0.00 hours on the day of the decision.

The Client acknowledges that FCF’s decisions concerning acceptance are intended for it alone, and agrees not to disclose them to any third party, including the relevant debtors.

Article 6: Statistical Dilution Reserve - Guarantee

FCF guarantees the risk of declared insolvency and default of payment of the debtors pursuant to the conditions stated herein. Recordation of receivables to the credit of the Current Account does not imply that such receivables are guaranteed. The non guaranteed receivables can be debited from the Current Account at any time.

The Client agrees FCF to debit its current account for the amounts necessary to build up a Statistical Dilution Reserve equal to 20% of the total outstanding of the amount of the Eligible Receivables transferred, by deducting 20% of the amount of each remittance form (bordereau de remise). The Statistical Dilution Reserve is intended to cover the amount of the dilutions (as defined in the article 4-4 above), and the bad debts (defined as corresponding to situations of declared insolvency, characterized by the opening of a procedure against a debtor mentioned in Book VI of the Commercial Code).

The retained amounts within the Statistical Dilution Reserve are blocked as cash collateral and are held by FCF in whole ownership and as a security. FCF will keep the amounts recorded at the credit of the Statistical Dilution Reserve in freehold and will therefore be able to set off its repayment obligation of these amounts automatically and up to the level of the balance potentially in debit in the Current Account at any time, and upon its definitive closure. All exceeding amount, if existing, is returned to the Client.

In case of foreclosure of the account by a Client’ creditor in FCF’s hands, FCF will be debtor of a conditional receivable of restitution of the amounts which have been transferred in freehold and will therefore be in a position to use the sums available on the Client’s Current Account in order to repay its own receivables.

It can be created as many sub accounts as necessary which will form an integral part of the Statistical Dilution Reserve.

Twice a month, FCF will take from the Statistical Dilution Reserve the amount of the dilutions and the bad debts noticed over the period.

In case the accumulated amount of dilutions and bad debts is higher than 8% of the transferred turnover, the rate of the Statistical Dilution Reserve applied to the future transfers can be increased by the difference between the ascertained percentage and 8%.

Payments with subrogation transferred to the Client remain acquired for the fraction of the bad debts exceeding the amount of the outstanding Statistical Dilution reserve; if the amount of unpaid receivables because of declared insolvency at a date is in excess of the RS amount, the resulting loss will remain borne by FCF.

In order to override the financial charge, the Statistical Dilution Reserve is not a part of the calculation of the Financing Fee mentioned in article 8.

The way of proceeding of the Statistical Dilution Reserve is detailed in Annex 7.
