1. The Seller will on the Transmission Date immediately preceding the relevant Settlement Date and by no later than 17.00 CET
deliver to the Buyer a duly completed Transfer Request, setting out the aggregate nominal amount of the Receivables originated by the Seller during the preceding Data Period to be transferred to the Buyer.
2. Following the delivery of a Transfer Request and on the immediately following Settlement Date:
(a) the Seller will deliver to the Buyer a duly completed and appropriate Transfer Document, duly signed by the Seller, vesting in the Buyer all its title to and rights and interest in the Scheduled Receivables, together with the benefit of all related security and all other ancillary rights (
droits accessoires
); and
(b) the Buyer will make payment of the Purchase Price to the Seller subject to and in accordance with paragraph 4 below.
3. The transfer of the Scheduled Receivables will take effect upon the delivery of a Transfer Document and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with paragraph 4 and further below.
4. The Buyer will pay the nominal Euro amount of the Scheduled Receivables (the
Purchase Price
) on each Investment Date on which these Scheduled Receivables are transferred and simultaneously with the delivery by the Seller of the Transfer Document.
5. The parties acknowledge and agree that any transfer of Scheduled Receivables effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the relevant Originator Receivables Purchase Agreement (among which payment, by the Buyer to the relevant Seller, of the Purchase Price in respect of the relevant Scheduled Receivables) shall subrogate the Buyer to the full nominal value Euro amount of the relevant Scheduled Receivables on such date, irrespective of any other payments that are to be made by the parties pursuant to the relevant Originator Receivables Purchase Agreement.
6. On each Investment Date, the Seller will pay a fee (the Fee) to the Buyer calculated according to a rate fixed by the Parties from time to time on the Investment Date and will be determined on an at arms' length basis as if the Seller and the Buyer were unconnected companies, taking into account:
(a) the delcredere risk incurred by the Buyer;
(b) the administrative services performed by the Buyer;
(c) the face value of Scheduled Receivables as of the relevant Investment Date;
(d) the market rate for similar factoring transactions;
(e) the interest rate of the interbank offered rate prevailing in the principal financial centre of the Seller's location;
(f) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Buyer in connection with the perfection of its rights, title and interest to the Scheduled Receivables and the enforcement of any obligation of the Seller
vis-à-vis
the Buyer hereunder; and
(g) any other fees, charges or costs charged by the Buyer as separately agreed from time to time between the Buyer and the Seller.
7. The Fee shall be calculated by applying the rate applicable on the Purchase Date to the aggregate nominal value of all Scheduled Receivables to be purchased by the Buyer on the Purchase Date, regardless of any collections made on the Purchased Receivables by the Seller.
8. As they are expected to become debtor and creditor of each other for the duration of the relevant Originator Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer will enter into a current account legal relationship (the
Current Account
) so that payment of the various amounts due by one Party to the other Party will take place by booking the amount due on this Current Account. Such payments shall be entered into the Current Account and settled exclusively in Euro.
The following amount will be booked to the Current Account on each Investment Date:
•
in favour of the Buyer: the Fee; and
• in favour of the Seller: the Purchase Price.
On each Investment Date, the Parties will calculate the intermediate closing balance of the Current Account to be paid on such Investment Date, taking into account all entries scheduled to take place on such Investment Date. The balance resulting from each intermediate closing will be paid in favour of the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be.
