(b) Any payment in an Eligible Currency shall be entered into the Ledger corresponding to such Eligible Currency and be settled exclusively in such Eligible Currency.

(c) Each Ledger is indivisible. However, for administrative purposes, the subheadings described in Clause 9.2 and 9.3 will be created. The creation of these subheadings will in no way affect the indivisibility of each Ledger.

32

22. LIMITED RECOURSE

22.1 Limited recourse

(a) The Purchaser hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of any Transaction Document, all obligations of each Originator to the Purchaser in respect of any Purchased Receivables are limited in recourse to an amount equal to the Instalment of GDPP in respect of such Purchased Receivables. If:

(i) there are no Available Amounts remaining which are capable of being realised or otherwise converted into cash;

(ii) all Available Amounts have been applied to meet or provide for the relevant obligations specified in, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement; and

(iii) there are insufficient Available Amounts to pay in full, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the obligations of the Originators under this Agreement,

then the Purchaser shall have no further claim (other than a claim for the payment of any Instalment of the GDPP) against the Originators in respect of any amounts owing to it which remain unpaid and such unpaid amounts shall be deemed to be discharged in full and any relevant payment rights shall be deemed to cease. In no circumstances, however, will the Purchaser be liable to pay any Instalment of GDPP as an independent liability, since the Purchaser’s liability towards the Originators under the Transaction Documents is limited to the net balance on the Ledgers as specified in Clause 10 (Settlement). For the avoidance of doubt, each GDPP does not represent a liability of the Purchaser other than to the extent of each Instalment of GDPP payable pursuant to Clauses 8 (Waterfall), 9 (Ledgers) and 10 (Settlement).

(b) Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth under Clause 3.2(b), the Servicers and the Originators can only demand performance by the Purchaser of its obligations to pay each IPP and/or GDPP in the relevant Eligible Currencies, in accordance with Clause 5 (Purchase Price) and enforce such obligations and without prejudice to the application of Clauses 8 (Waterfall), 9 (Ledgers) and 10 (Settlement), but waive the right to demand rescission of any purchase made pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each Originator hereby irrevocably waives any unpaid seller’s lien that it may have under article 20, 5° of the Belgian mortgage law of 16 December 1851 or otherwise.

22.2 Non-Petition

Each Originator and Servicer, and the Transaction Administrator, each agree that it shall not otherwise take or pursue any proceedings or actions, against the Purchaser or its assets, or exercise any other right or remedy that it might otherwise have against the Purchaser or its assets, other than in respect of the amounts available to be applied in accordance with the order of priorities specified in Clause 8 (Waterfall) for repayment of any obligations owing to it by the Purchaser under this Agreement.

22.3 No recourse against stockholders

No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator as contained in this Agreement shall be made against any incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise, it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of the Purchaser or the

33

Transaction Administrator contained in this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, as the case may be, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by the incorporators, stockholders, affiliates, officers, employees or directors of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, as the case may be, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the respective obligations, covenants or agreements of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such incorporator, stockholder, affiliate, officer, employee or director of the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, as the case may be, for non-tortious breaches by the Purchaser or the Transaction Administrator, as the case may be, of any such obligation, covenant or agreement, whether such liability arises by statute or constitution or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration of the execution of this Agreement.

23.5 Responsibility for documentation

The Transaction Administrator is not responsible or liable for:

(a) the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Transaction Administrator (other than the Calculation and Payment Reports), any Originator, any Servicer or the Purchaser or any other person in connection with any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document;

(b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document; or

SCHEDULE 5

PURCHASE PRICE

PART 1

CALCULATION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE

Terms defined in the Agreement will have the same meaning in this Schedule 5 (Purchase Price), unless specified otherwise. In this Schedule 5 and unless specified otherwise, a reference to a Clause means a reference to a clause of this Schedule 5.

1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

(a) Based on the data provided in accordance with Clause 3.2 and Clause 3.3 (the Data), the Transaction Administrator shall calculate the Purchase Price for the Purchased Receivables on each Calculation Date on the basis of the calculation principles listed in this Schedule.

(b) For each of the Originators, after having checked the consistency of the Data, the Transaction Administrator shall on each Calculation Date compute the following payments and internal allocations as defined in subheading 3 below and Part 2 of this Schedule 5 by reference to the preceding Calculation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, only the Total Reserve Rate shall be computed based on the aggregate of the Purchased Receivables for all Originators:

(i) the E.R.C.G.

(ii) the Total Reserve Rate

(iii) the Variation of the XXXX

(iv) the Available Amount

(v) the Deferred Purchase Price and Initial Purchase Price

(vi) the Global Initial Purchase Price and the Global Deferred Purchase Price

(c) The Transaction Administrator shall determine, on each Calculation Date, the Total Reserve Rate based on the data for the immediately preceding Calculation Period and, as the case may be, the other previous Calculation Periods. Following a Termination Date which leads to a change in frequency of the Cut-off Dates, the Transaction Administrator will use for the determination of the Total Reserve Rate the aggregated data of the relevant consecutive Calculation Periods prior to the Calculation Date totalling a period of one month, and, as the case may be, the previous other Calculation Periods.

(d) Where this Schedule 5 refers to the (Outstanding) Nominal Value of a Non-EUR Receivable or the EUR equivalent of an amount expressed in another currency than euro, all such amounts shall be converted into EUR at the relevant Invoice Exchange Rate.

2. APPLYING THE AVAILABLE AMOUNT

Subsequent to performing the calculations listed above, the Purchaser, based on the determinations made by the Transaction Administrator, shall, on each Settlement Date and for each Originator, apply the Available Amount to the relevant payments or internal allocations in accordance with the applicable order of priority included in Clause 8 (Waterfall) of the Agreement.

75

3. THE CALCULATION PRINCIPLES

3.1 Eligibility Criteria for funding

Based on the Data, the Transaction Administrator shall calculate on each Calculation Date and for each Originator, with reference to the values existing on the immediately preceding Cut-off Date the Outstanding Nominal Value of the Purchased Receivables that complied, at any time, with the Eligibility Criteria for funding less the Suspense Amount on the Cut-off Date (the E.R.C.G.).

E.R.C.G. Total means, at any time, the sum of the E.R.C.G. of all Originators.

3.2 The Total Reserve Rate

The Total Reserve Rate (or R) shall be calculated by reference to the Purchased Receivables of all Originators and is the sum of:

(i) the Default Reserve Rate

(ii) the Dilution Reserve Rate

(iii) the Yield Reserve Rate

(iv) the FX Reserve Rate

The Total Reserve Rate shall be calculated in accordance with the calculation methods listed hereinafter.

1. The calculation method for the Default Reserve Rate

The Default Reserve Rate is the greater of:

• the Default Reserve Floor; and

• Default Ratio * Loss Horizon Ratio * the Default Stress Factor,

where:

• The Default Reserve Floor is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Default Stress Factor is a multiplier set in function of the targeted credit rating for the Default Reserve Rate, in accordance with Standard & Poor’s (S&P) methodology. The applied Default Stress Factor is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Default Ratio is the greatest of the twelve consecutive three-month moving averages of the Monthly Default Ratios ending on the immediately preceding Cut-off Date

The Monthly Default Ratio is calculated as follows:

(Defaulted Receivables Proxy) / (Sales Generating the Defaulted

Receivables Proxy)

76

where:

• the Defaulted Receivables Proxy represents, on each Calculation Date, the sum of the Outstanding Nominal Value, in EUR equivalent, of all Purchased Receivables from all Originators which were (I) Purchased Receivables for at least one calendar day and (II) Defaulted Receivables as of the immediately preceding Cut-off Date and (III) were not Defaulted Receivables as of any Cut-off Date prior to the immediately preceding Cut-off Date

• The Sales Generating the Defaulted Receivables Proxy are the net sales of the Calculation Period (or Calculation Periods) (which are the sum of the Outstanding Nominal Values, in EUR equivalent and for all Originators, of all Purchased Receivables during the Calculation Period or Calculation Periods minus any intra-month dilution related to the Calculation Period or Calculation Periods (the Net Sales) during which the receivables included in the Defaulted Receivables Proxy were generated; i.e. the net sales generated in the Calculation Period (or Calculation Periods) that started X calendar days before the relevant Calculation Date and ended 30 days later.

X is equal to the sum (rounded to the nearest multiple of 30) of XYZ calendar days and the Weighted Average Contractual Payment Term of the purchased receivables (in calendar days)—as determined by the Transaction Administrator following the initial due diligence and reviewed during (and possibly adjusted as a result of) the annual due diligence.

• The Loss Horizon Ratio is calculated, for any calendar day, as follows:

Cumulated daily sales over the Loss Horizon / E.R.C.G. Total

where:

• Cumulated daily sales over the Loss Horizon represents on every Calculation Date, the sum over the Loss Horizon ending on and including the immediately preceding Cut-off Date, of the Outstanding Nominal Value, in EUR equivalent and for all Originators, of the Purchased Receivables

The Loss Horizon is equal to the sum of:

• the Weighted Average Contractual Payment Term as of the immediately previous Cut-off Date, and

• the number of calendar days elapsed from the due date until a Purchased Receivable is reported as a Defaulted Receivable.

The Weighted Average Contractual Payment Term is on each Calculation Date, by reference to the immediately preceding Calculation Period, equal to:

• the sum over all Purchased Receivables of the product of (I) the Nominal Value of each Purchased Receivables and (II) the Contractual Payment Term (expressed in number of calendar days) of the relevant Purchased Receivables; divided by

• the sum of the Nominal Value of the Purchased Receivables during the relevant Calculation Period

77

2. The calculation method for the Dilution Reserve Rate

The Dilution Reserve Rate is equal to the sum of (A) the Dynamic Dilution Rate and (B) the Non-Stressed Dilution Rate where:

The Dynamic Dilution Rate is to the higher of:

a) The Dilution Reserve Floor

b) [(Dilution Stress Factor * Expected Dilution) + Dilution Volatility Factor] * Dilution Horizon Ratio.

where:

• The Dilution Reserve Floor means the average over the last 12 months of the product of (a) Expected Dilution and (b) Dilution Horizon Ratio.

• The Dilution Stress Factor is a multiplier set in function of the targeted credit rating for the Dilution Reserve Rate in accordance with S&P’s methodology. The applied Dilution Stress Factor is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Expected Dilution corresponds, on each Calculation Date, to the average of the 12 previous consecutive Monthly Dilution Ratios ending on the Cut-off Date immediately preceding such Calculation Date.

The Monthly Dilution Ratio on each Calculation Date is calculated as follows:

Non-contractual Dilution of the Calculation Period / Sales in dilution basis

where:

• the Sales in dilution basis is equal to the Net Sales to which the Dilution of the Calculation Period of the relevant Calculation Date is related, i.e. the Net Sales generated in the period started on or about “Z” calendar days prior to the Cut-off Date immediately preceding the relevant Calculation Date and which ended 30 calendar days later.

• Z is equal to the period between the issuance of an Invoice and the issuance of a related credit note (or equivalent) as determined by the Transaction Administrator following the initial due diligence and reviewed during (and possibly adjusted as a result of) the annual due diligence. The applied “Z” is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Dilution Volatility Factor is calculated on each Calculation Date as follows:

Deviance * Gross up Factor

where:

78

• The Deviance is, on each Calculation Date, the amount by which the maximum over the previous 12 months of the moving average over the Adjusted Dilution Horizon of the Monthly Dilution Ratios (Dilution Spike) exceeds the Expected Dilution.

The Deviance is calculated as follows:

Dilution Spike – Expected Dilution

• The Gross up Factor is calculated as follows:

Dilution Spike / Expected Dilution

• The Dilution Horizon Ratio is calculated as follows (it being understood that the Dilution Horizon Ratio will be equal to zero prior to the occurrence of a Credit Enhancement Event which is continuing):

(Cumulated daily sales over the Adjusted Dilution Horizon x Adjustment

Ratio) / E.R.C.G. Total

where:

• Cumulated daily sales over the Adjusted Dilution Horizon represents on every Calculation Date, the sum of the Net Sales over the Adjusted Dilution Horizon ending on and including the immediately preceding Cut-off Date

The Adjusted Dilution Horizon is equal to “Z+30” calendar days, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 30.

• The Adjustment Ratio is equal to [ (Z+30) / Adjusted Dilution Horizon ].

(B) The Non-Stressed Dilution Rate

• The Non-Stressed Dilution Rate is calculated as follows:

• Contractual Dilution / E.R.C.G.

3. The calculation method for the Yield Reserve Rate

The Yield Reserve Rate is the higher of:

• the Yield Reserve Floor; and

• the Dynamic Yield Reserve Rate.

where

The Yield Reserve Floor is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

The Dynamic Yield Reserve Rate amounts on each Calculation Date to the sum of (i) the Reserve Rate for Costs other than the Servicing Costs and (ii) Reserve Rate for the Backup Servicing Costs.

79

Reserve Rate for the Backup Servicing Costs is calculated as follows:

[Assumed Liquidation Period * Backup Servicing Costs Rate for the Yield Reserve * Global Portfolio * number of days in the relevant Funding Period/360] / E.R.C.G. Total

where:

• Assumed Liquidation Period is calculated as follows:

(Liquidation Stress Factor * D.S.O.) / 30

where

• the Liquidation Stress Factor is a multiplier set in function of the required credit rating for the Yield Reserve Rate in accordance with S&P’s methodology. The applied Liquidation Stress Factor is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• Days Sales Outstanding or D.S.O equals to:

[ (the Global Portfolio on the last day of the relevant Calculation Period + the Global Portfolio of the two (2) previous months, each time as existing on the last day of the relevant Calculation Period) * 90 ]

divided by

[ (the sum of the Sales of the relevant Calculation Period + the sum of the Sales of the two (2) previous Calculation Periods) * 3 ]

• The Backup Servicing Costs Rate for the Yield Reserve is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Reserve Rate for Costs other than the Servicing Costs is equal to

(a + b)*Assumed Liquidation Period / E.R.C.G. Total.

where:

• a is calculated as the sum of:

[(EURIBOR Stress Factor * Base Rate) + Applicable Margin] * Maximum Financed Amount * number of days in the relevant Funding Period/360

where:

• The Applicable Margin.

• The applied EURIBOR Stress Factors are listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

• The Maximum Financed Amount is the lower of:

• Maximum Programme Amount; and

80

• (1-sum of the (i) Dilution Reserve Floor, (ii) Yield Reserve Floor, (iii) FX Reserve Rate) * E.R.C.G. Total

• b is calculated as follows:

Commitment Fee Rate * (Maximum Programme Amount – Opening XXXX) * number of days in the relevant Funding Period/360

Where the Commitment Fee Rate is 0% of the Applicable Margin

4. The calculation method for the FX Reserve Rate

The FX Reserve Rate is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2.

3.3 The Variation of the XXXX

For each Originator, the Variation of the XXXX is calculated as follows:

Variation of the XXXX = ThGIPP – Opening XXXX

Where:

• ThGIPP = Min (E.R.C.G. * (1 – R)); Maximum Programme Amount)

• Opening XXXX = XXXX(t) as at the previous Settlement Date, or in relation to the first Settlement Date, as of the first Purchase Date.

• In case the variation of the XXXX is greater than zero, such result will be referred to as the Increase of XXXX.

• In case the variation of the XXXX is less than zero, such result will be referred to as the Decrease of the XXXX.

3.4 The Available Amount

For each Originator, the Available Amount is equal to the sum of the following items:

(i) Total Collections of the Calculation Period;

(ii) Late interest of the Calculation Period (if any);

(iii) Indemnities to be paid by the Performance Guarantor acting in the name and on behalf of the Originators (if any); and

(iv) Increase of XXXX (if any).

3.5 The Deferred Purchase Price (or DPP) and the Initial Purchase Price (or IPP)

For the purposes of the transaction, the Transaction Administrator shall on each Calculation Date calculate for each Originator, the IPP and the DPP, respectively.

(a) IPP and DPP

The Deferred Purchase Price (DPP) is calculated as follows:

DPP = Portfolio - IPP

81

where:

• For the first Calculation Date, the Portfolio is equal to the E.R.C.G.

• the Initial Purchase Price (IPP) is equal to the Available Amount that could be allocated to the payment of the Minimum Initial Purchase Price (or MinIPP) and the Incremental Initial Purchase Price (or IncrIPP) in accordance with Clause 5 of the Agreement.

where

• The MinIPP is calculated as follows:

MinIPP = Portfolio for Funding * (1-MaxDPP rate)

where the applied MaxDPP Rate is listed in Schedule 5, Part 2

• The IncrIPP is calculated as follows:

IncrIPP = ThIPP – MinIPP

where:

• The Theoretical Initial Purchase Price or ThIPP is calculated as follows

ThIPP = Portfolio for Funding * (1-R)

• The Portfolio for Funding is, for each Originator, the Outstanding Nominal Values, in EUR equivalent, of all Purchased Receivables during the Calculation Period that also meet the eligibility criteria for calculation of the XXXX in accordance with Schedule 2

For the first Calculation Date, the Portfolio for Funding is equal to the E.R.C.G. of each Originator

3.6 The Global Initial Purchase Price (or XXXX) and the Global Deferred Purchase Price (or GDPP)

The XXXX is calculated by the Transaction Administrator on each Calculation Date as follows:

XXXX(t) = Opening XXXX + IPP – TCAGIPP

where:

• The TCAGIPP is equal to the Total Collections minus the allocations that have been made pursuant to Clause 8(a) except for Clauses 8(a)(vi), 8(a)(viii), 8(a)(x) or clauses 8(b) except for Clauses 8(b)(vi), 8(b)(ix), 8(b)(x) as the case may be.

• The GIPPtotal is calculated as follows:

GIPPtotal = Minimum (XXXX(t), Maximum Programme Amount)

• The GDPPtotal is calculated as follows: GDPPtotal = Global Portfolio – GIPPtotal

SCHEDULE 11

CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PART 1

DESCRIPTION OF THE CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES OF EACH ORIGINATOR

FERRO MANAGEMENT POLICY GUIDE No: 5•1•8

To: MPG Distribution Issued Date: 04-19-11

Subject: Corporate Credit and Collection Policy

Initiated By: Finance Department		Supersedes
		MPG: 5.1.8
Approved By: Xxx Xxxxxx		Date: 07-24-03

I. PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to state Ferro’s policy and guidelines with respect to the extension of credit to customers, establishment of payment terms, collection of receivables, and release of shipments. In addition, this document describes the responsibilities and authority of the local credit/collection function.

II. SCOPE

This policy applies worldwide to Ferro, including Ferro’s subsidiaries and affiliates over which Ferro has management control.

III. POLICY

It is Ferro’s policy to control the accounts receivable investment in line with prudent credit decisions and Senior Management’s objectives. Such policy is implemented by effective adherence, wherever possible, to the standard payment terms of sales applicable to each country.

IV. RESPONSIBILITIES

The credit/collection function is responsible for the credit and collection activities under the oversight of the Corporate Treasurer, with the objective of managing the company’s customer credit portfolio at an acceptable level of risk while permitting maximum profitable sales. Specifically by:

A. Insuring that customer’s payment terms are set in compliance with the standards established by senior management.

B. Establishing the credit limit of each customer that is granted credit.

C. Insuring proper authorizations are obtained prior to making shipment to customers over the credit limit.

108

D. Insuring the proper authorizations are obtained prior to making shipment to customers with past due accounts.

V. GUIDELINES & STANDARDS

A. New Customers and Credit Limits

1. It is the responsibility of the local credit function to approve all new customers before they are available to place orders.

2. All customers are required to have an approved credit limit established and maintained. The customer should be notified, if appropriate, of their credit limits and any subsequent changes.

3. In determining the appropriate customer’s credit limits, the credit function should review customer financial information such as financial statements and credit reports. In addition the business manager should be consulted, as needed, regarding expected level of business for the customer.

4. All orders require the approval of the local credit/collection functions before shipments can be made. Approval should preferably be obtained prior to order entry.

5. In some cases, the credit/collection function may pre-authorize certain customers, thereby exempting the operation from obtaining daily approval for those pre-authorized customers.

6. Credit limit approval including changes to existing credit limits will be determined for both new and existing customers. Any new or changes to the customer credit limit requires the approval of the local credit representative in accordance with the level of approval the local credit representative has been delegated. The Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Treasurer are responsible for delegating the credit limit approval levels. Local approval levels will be formally established and approved by the Corporate Treasurer and reviewed at least annually.

7. If circumstances arise where operations disagrees with the credit/collection function’s decision at the local and regional levels regarding the establishment or change in customer credit limits or decision to hold or release orders, the issue may be brought to the attention of the Corporate Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer, and any authorization by the Corporate Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer will be confirmed in writing.

8. For active customers the credit limit should be monitored and evaluated on an on going basis. For customers who have not had sales activity within the last twelve months, a complete credit limit review should be performed before resuming shipments.

B. Standard Third Party Customer Payment Terms

1. Standard customer payment terms are established by the Senior Management Committee based on recommendation from the Corporate and Regional Credit organizations.

2. Exceptions: Exceptions made to standard payment terms require the approval of the local credit controller and regional credit controller. For exceptions beyond 30 days increase, the approval of the Corporate Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer is required.

Requests for Exception: Formal requests and rationale for extended payment terms are to be initiated by business management and submitted for review and approval to the local credit controller. The credit department should perform a thorough credit analysis of each request for exception to ensure the financial viability of the customer to comply with the increased credit exposure. (This review can include such reviews as customer financial position, payment history, customer profitability, working capital associated with DSO and days of inventory. Availability of credit insurance coverage and collateral should be considered in parallel with the review of the customer’s financial strength)

109

3. Customer Consignment: Some customers enter into Customer Consignment arrangements. In these cases the payment terms should be consistent with the standard payment terms or have the required Senior Management approval. In addition, credit controller should insure that the consignment arrangement is governed by a consignment agreement that complies with local laws in the country (e.g. UCC filings in the USA).

4. Late Payment Service Charges: It is typically not the practice of Ferro to charge late payment service charges. If local management desires to implement this practice, approval of the Corporate Treasurer and the Chief Accounting Officer must be obtained prior to implementation.

5. End of Month Terms: Some customers are quoted “x days end of month”. These extra days are to be included in determining the “effective payment term” and whether the customer is on standard terms or what level of approval is required.

6. Terms of Cash Instruments: Terms associated with letter of credits, promissory notes, and other secured credit instruments provided by a customer as payment are also governed by standard payment terms. (Though the payment is secured by the cash instrument, payment terms exceeding standard payment terms still must be approved.) Exceptions to standard payment terms are subject to the payment term request exception process.

C. Standard Inter-Company Sales Payment Terms

1. Ferro’s standard inter-company sales payment terms are 30 days. Payments, however, may be delayed beyond the standard payment term due to local legal requirements or to facilitate payment processing. For example, government foreign currency control regulations may delay payment beyond the 30 day standard term. In addition, if payments are processed only once a month, it is acceptable to pay beyond 30 days to meet these processing procedures. Payment terms may be extended, on a case by case basis to meet cash flow planning purposes. Such extension, however, must be approved by the Treasurer. In addition, intercompany receivables that are extended beyond 90 days must be evidenced by an intercompany note with accrued interest.

D. Holding Shipments

1. Over Credit Limit: Any shipments in excess of credit limits should be placed on hold. Any release of shipments on hold requires the approval of the local credit controller.

2. Past Dues: Any shipments of accounts with over 30 days past due should be placed on hold. Any release of shipments on hold require the approval of the local credit controller.

3. Customers deemed to be exempt from any type of shipment hold require the approval of the Corporate Treasurer or designee.

E. Credit Collection and Account Management

1. In order to carry out its collection efforts, local credit/collection functions shall be free to make contact with any customer necessary for purposes of gathering credit information and pursuing past due accounts. As appropriate, local credit/collections will work in conjunction with local Business Managers to contact customers to resolve credit/collection issues in a timely manner.

2. Procedures should be in place for identifying and settling billing disputes promptly. If operations are aware of problems delaying payments, for example, product problems or pricing discrepancies, the local credit/collection functions should be notified. Local credit/collection departments may request operations to assist the collection process, when appropriate, by customer contact.

110

3. For past due accounts, local credit/collection functions should follow a set pattern with customer contact at regular intervals increasing in intensity with reminders, requests, appeals and demands for payment. In addition, there are times when it is appropriate to contact a customer prior to the due date to ensure that payment will be made in a timely manner.

4. Outside local collection agencies, including legal representation can be used to supplement normal follow-up procedures when appropriate. After the Credit Manager deems that reasonable effort has been made to resolve the issue the account should be forwarded to collection for resolution. More than 90 days overdue should be used as a guide for determining the use of collection agencies including legal representation.

5. In regions where credit insurance is widely used (e.g. Europe) procedures should be in place to manage credit risk exposure to customers subject to reduced or cancelled insurance coverage. Reduced/ Cancelled insurance coverage should be view as a signal of increased risk. Upon notification of insurance cancellation the Credit Manager should review the account and consider immediately reducing payment terms and collecting any past due amounts.

6. In the event of a bad debt, the customer or its receiver, liquidator or administrator must be contacted by the local credit/collection function to establish Retention of Title to any unpaid Ferro goods at the customer’s premises.

F. Local / Regional Credit Policy

1. Each country and / or region may have detailed credit guidelines and procedures tailored to its local business practices. Such local guidelines must be in compliance with the aforementioned Corporate Credit Policy.

The Italian Originator, the Italian Servicer, the Purchaser and the Transaction Administrator shall enter into purchase agreements in the form of (i) the Initial Italian Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Italian Originator Portfolio, on the First Purchase Date, and (ii) an Additional Italian Purchase Agreement with respect to each Additional Italian Originator Portfolio, on the First Purchase Date and on or around each subsequent Settlement Date, to perfect the transfer of the Initial Italian Originator Portfolio and agree on the transfer of each Additional Italian Originator Portfolio from the Italian Originator to the Purchaser in accordance with Italian law, Law 52/91 and with the formalities set out in Part 1 of this Schedule 12.

4. Amounts due in respect of the Additional Italian Originator Portfolio sold by the Italian Originator

The Purchaser shall make an initial partial payment of EUR 1,000,000 in respect of the Purchase Price of each successive Additional Italian Originator Portfolio (each, an Initial Italian Purchase Price).

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and each successive Additional Italian Purchase Agreement, the sale, transfer and assignment of each Receivable comprised in an Additional Italian Originator Portfolio, also for the purposes of Law 52/91, (i) shall be (and shall be intended as) agreed on the Settlement Date

On the Settlement Date immediately following such Perfection Date:

5. Eligible Obligors with respect to each Additional Italian Originator Portfolio

For the purposes of Law 52/91, each Additional Italian Originator Portfolio can be transferred by the Italian Originator to the Purchaser provided that (i) each future Receivable (comprised in each Additional Italian Originator Portfolio) will arise from agreement (as the case may be, documented only by terms and conditions of sale binding on the relevant parties) entered into or to be entered into within 24 months from the date of the Additional Italian Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Italian Originator Portfolio has been transferred to the Purchaser and (ii) the Eligible Obligors owing such Receivables are specifically identified in the list referred to in paragraph 9 below (as amended, supplemented or updated from time to time, the List of Italian Eligible Obligors).

The Italian Originator and the Purchaser are entitled from time to time to amend, supplement or update the List of Italian Eligible Obligors by exchanging via certified email (PEC) or register mail with return of receipt the new List of Italian Eligible Obligors which will allow the determination of the future Receivables to be transferred during the immediately subsequent Funding Period.

Dear Sirs,

Re: Receivables Purchase and Services Agreement

This certificate (the Certificate) is being delivered to the Purchaser and the Transaction Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the receivables purchase and services agreement dated [●] (the RPA) entered into between, amongst others, the Company as originator, the Purchaser as purchaser and the Transaction Administrator as transaction administrator.

Capitalised terms used in this Certificate but not defined herein shall bear the meanings ascribed to them in the RPA.

We, authorised representatives of the Company, hereby certify on its behalf that having made all appropriate searches and investigations of the Company’s books, records and accounts (both management and those required by law):

(a) none of the circumstances described in paragraph 5 (Insolvency) of Schedule 10 (Termination Events) applies to the Company and no insolvency proceedings described in paragraph 6 (Insolvency proceedings) of Schedule 10 (Termination Events) have been taken or threatened in relation to the Company, nor will one of the circumstances described in paragraph 5 (Insolvency) of Schedule 10 (Termination Events) apply to it or will insolvency proceedings described in paragraph 6 (Insolvency proceedings) of Schedule 10 (Termination Events) be taken or threatened in relation to it as a consequence of the entry into any Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party or any documents related thereto;

(b) the Company is not unable to pay its debts and would not become unable to do so in consequence of entering into the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and/or performing its obligations under those documents (including making any drawing or payment or granting any security);

(c) in our opinion, the transactions which the Company is entering into as described in the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and the related documents are transactions at arm’s length terms with full and fair equivalence of consideration among the parties thereto;

(d) by entering into the transactions as described in the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and the related documents, the Company is not acting fraudulently against the rights of any of its creditors or with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any entity to whom Company is or will be indebted;

135

(e) by entering into the transactions as described in the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and the related documents, it was not the purpose of the Company to put assets beyond the reach of a person who is making, or may at some future time make, a claim against the Company or of otherwise prejudicing the interests of such a person in relation to the claim which he is making or may make;

(f) the Company is entering into the transactions as described in the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party and the related documents (including all obligations to be assumed by the Company in connection therewith) in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on the Company’s business and, in our opinion, such transactions will benefit the Company; and

(g) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the related documents entered into by the Company will not constitute a transaction at an undervalue, or for less than reasonably equivalent value, since the value of any consideration received by the Company under such contract would not be significantly less than the value of any consideration provided by the Company under such contract.

Yours faithfully,
