the right to alter the maximum Advance Financing percentage, the possible maximum Advance Financing amount, and the Advance Financing term unilaterally or to impose a maximum Advance Financing amount in the event that, in the opinion of ING ComFin, the risk of non-repayment of the advances by Client or a different development should give rise to this. Any such decision shall be announced in writing and shall be effective within 30 days after the date of the announcement. Within a term of 20 days after the date of this announcement, Client may give written notice to ING ComFin that it does not accept the unilateral decision of ING ComFin and therefore terminates this FSA with ING ComFin in which event Client will have to repay in full all that is outstanding under all agreements between ING ComFin and the Client within 90 days after the date of the announcement after which these agreements are terminated. In the event of termination of this FSA by Client as provided in this Article 4.1, (i) the announced unilateral decision of ING ComFin shall not be effectuated during the notice term unless there is a compelling reason for ING ComFin to effectuate such decision without further delay and (ii) Article 17.4 of the General Terms and Conditions shall not be applicable. These same procedures will apply if ING ComFin changes other fees and terms pursuant to the FSA or the General Terms and Conditions.
4.2  
ING ComFin shall at all times be entitled to exclude Receivables from any Advance Financing, or to limit advances, in accordance with the terms of Article 4.4.
No rights can be derived from any granted advances for specific Receivables with regard to advances in the future for Receivables on the same Debtors.
4.3  
ING ComFin will not grant advances to Client if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions. In the event that ING ComFin excludes Receivables from Advance Financing or limits the advances in accordance with this FSA, this does not affect Client’s obligations, including the obligation to pledge all of its Receivables.
4.4  
ING ComFin shall not be obligated hereunder to grant advances for:
  (a)  
Receivables that cannot be considered to belong to Client’s ordinary course of business which shall be deemed to include sales of barrier materials;
  (b)  
Receivables in respect of a natural person, who is not acting in the conduct of a profession or business;
  (c)  
Receivables arising from (i) cash or cash on delivery transactions, (ii) sales on consignment, (iii) contracts with invoicing whereby the payment is required to be made completely or partially in advance, or in installments, or (iv) contracts invoiced with an Invoice Date set in the future (also referred to as: value date invoicing);
  (d)  
Receivables in respect of a (legal) person or company, which is an Affiliate of Client;
  (e)  
Receivables with a Term of Payment that exceeds the Maximum Term of Payment set forth in Article 15.9 or that have already been outstanding for longer than the Arrears Period set forth in this FSA or against whom ING ComFin or a third party is already carrying out (legal) collection services pursuant to Article 10;
  (f)  
Receivables in respect of which a Dispute exists or for which the Debtor could, in a legally valid manner, rely on setoff;
 
  (g)  
Receivables in respect of a Debtor who does not meet the creditworthiness;
  (h)  
Receivables in respect of one specific Debtor and in respect of parties that are Affiliates of this Debtor, which – within the total of the outstanding Receivables — form a concentration that exceeds the Maximum Concentration Percentage set forth in Article 15;
  (i)  
Receivables for which other reasons or circumstances exist that, in the opinion of ING ComFin, could result in a risk of non-payment or that could influence the indebtedness of these Receivables.
4.5  
Client undertakes not to make any use of the advances granted by ING ComFin other than for carrying out its ordinary business activities and not to withdraw these monies from the business operation. In deviation of the previous sentence, Client will be entitled to use the advances granted by ING ComFin for loans provided that (i) the borrower is an Affiliate group company, (ii) the solvency covenant agreed between the Client and ING ComFin in the credit facility offer letter of October 15, 2009, is not breached and will not be breached as a consequence of such loan, (iii) the Client forthwith sends copies of all relevant loan documentation and subsequent amendments thereof, and (iv) the Client informs ING ComFin from time to time, and on ING ComFin’s first request, on amounts outstanding as loans to Affiliate group companies. ING ComFin declares to be aware that any present and (possibly) future loan made available by the Client to the Affiliate group company in the United Kingdom, and any security interest granted under the FSA or the General Terms and Conditions, is subordinated to any claim that the lender may have against Client or that Affiliate group company in the United Kingdom, in connection with the 2009 revolving credit agreement as it may be refinanced of amended from time to time
4.6  
ING ComFin shall not grant advances for Receivables against an entity which is located in, or otherwise having a specific connection with, one of the countries listed in Creditview as riskcountries with non-financeable Debtors. Client shall not submit Receivables against such Debtors for financing and these Receivables are considered not being pledged to ING ComFin. Client shall ensure that data with respect to these Receivables will not be included in the periodic delivery of turnover data to ING ComFin. If a payment is received into the Collection Account made by a party located in one of the countries

  (b)  
it is established afterwards that this concerns a Receivable listed in Article 4.4 at the time the advance was granted.

All amounts, which ING ComFin receives from Debtors, will be setoff by ING ComFin against the advances that it has made to Client. ING ComFin also has the right to setoff other advances, which it has made to Client and which have become due and payable, against amounts received from Debtors.

PLEDGE
Article 14. Pledge of Receivables
14.1  
Client hereby pledges (in advance) all Receivables (other than intercompany receivables) to ING ComFin that arise from legal relationships existing at the time of the establishment of the right of pledge. Client hereby undertakes vis-à-vis ING ComFin to establish at the first opportunity a (undisclosed) first priority right of pledge on all Receivables for the benefit of ING ComFin.
14.2  
The rights of pledge are established as collateral for (i) the fulfillment of Client’s obligations to repay the amounts made available under this FSA or the Agreement on stock financing and financing of acquisition of goods or any other agreement between Client and ING ComFin (“Principal Amount”) and (ii) the fulfillment of Client’s other obligations under this FSA or the Agreement on stock financing and financing of acquisition of goods or under any other agreements between Client and ING ComFin such as interests, costs, fees, indemnifications and all other amounts that Client owes or at any time shall owe to ING ComFin (“Interests, Fees and Costs”). Any amounts received by foreclosing this collateral shall first be considered to repay the Principal Amount and subsequently to pay Interests, Fees and Costs. In case of foreclosure of this collateral, the remaining collateral after repayment of the Principal Amount in full shall secure the fulfillment of Interests, Fees and Costs up to a maximum of USD 1,000,000.-.
14.3  
Client hereby authorizes ING ComFin to pledge all Receivables on behalf of Client to ING ComFin at any time that ING ComFin requires, which pledge will serve as collateral within the meaning of Articles 14.1 and 14.2. This authorization includes the power granted to ING ComFin to perform all activities in the name of Client that are necessary for signing the Specifications of Pledged Receivables, the registration of the deeds of pledge with the Tax and Customs Administration, the execution of notarial deeds or the notifications to Debtors. This authorization is granted with the power of attorney. Client undertakes (in so far as required by law) on ING ComFin’s first demand to sign all necessary documents for the execution of the aforementioned notarial deeds.
14.4  
Client undertakes vis-à-vis ING ComFin to send a Specification of Pledged Receivables substantially to ING ComFin on a weekly basis or, if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, on a more frequent basis if so requested by ING ComFin. It is only with ING ComFin’s written permission that Client may possibly deviate from this frequency. A model of the Specification of Pledged Receivables is attached hereto as Annex 4. In recognition of the fact that the model is a standard form used by ING, parties hereby expressly confirm that they do not wish to deviate from this FSA. Should an inconsistency exist between the Specification of Pledged Receivables and this FSA, this FSA will prevail. More in particular and notwithstanding article (c) of the Specification of Pledged Receivables, it is understood – as agreed in article 14.1 — that Client shall not pledge its intercompany receivables. In addition to this the power of attorney as mentioned in article 6 of the Specification of Pledged Receivables will be valid until all lending agreements between ING ComFin and Client have been terminated and all amounts owing to ING ComFin under such agreements have been paid.
14.5  
Each Specification of Pledged Receivables must be correctly and completely filled in by Client and must be duly signed by Client or its authorized representative.
14.6  
Client is obliged to send the Specification of Pledged Receivables preferably electronically and to include copies of invoices, any credit notes, as well as specifications in connection therewith (such as computer printouts, debtor lists, and/or invoice lists). Client is furthermore obliged to provide the additional information hereto with regard to the Receivables referred to in the Specification of Pledged Receivables on ING ComFin’s first demand.
14.7  
ING ComFin shall submit the Specification of Pledged Receivables to the Tax and Customs Administration for registration or have the specification executed by a civil-law notary, this at the discretion of ING ComFin.
14.8  
Client shall not sell or dispose of the Receivables to any third party nor encumber them with any restricted rights for the benefit of a third party, including the right of pledge. Client shall not enter into an agreement with any third party, in which Client enters into the obligation to carry out such a juristic act, without ING ComFin’s prior written consent. Client hereby declares that, at the time of the signing of this FSA, no agreement exists with any third party by virtue of which Client has entered into the obligation in respect of a third party to perform such a juristic act or by virtue of which Client is not at liberty to enter into this FSA with ING ComFin and to pledge Receivables to ING ComFin by virtue thereof.
14.9  
Client is obliged, upon receipt, to immediately send to ING ComFin all drafted and/or issued bills of exchange, checks or other payment orders or bearer checks in respect of the Receivables, which have been pledged (or shall be pledged) to ING

ComFin to the extent of any Advance Financing Balance. In the event that Client is named on the bill of exchange, check or other instrument as the party to whom the payment must be made, Client is obliged to name ING ComFin as beneficiary or to endorse the instrument to ING ComFin to the extent of any Advance Financing Balance. Client authorizes ING ComFin, should the situation arise, to sign and to endorse such checks, bills of exchange and other instruments to ING ComFin to the extent necessary to carry out the immediately preceding sentence. Client indemnifies ING ComFin, should the situation arise, against all claims of third parties resulting from the aforementioned signing and/or endorsing.
14.10  
Client is obliged to immediately notify ING ComFin of any seizure (whether real or threatening) of Receivables made against the Client. Client is obliged to take all measures at its own expense that are reasonably necessary, or which ING ComFin reasonably deems necessary, to retain ING ComFin’s right of pledge. If so desired, ING ComFin may take these measures itself or have these measures taken and charge the costs in connection therewith to Client.
14.11  
Client authorizes ING ComFin to, at all times, contact Debtors directly in so far as ING ComFin considers this necessary to confirm or exercise its rights in respect of the FSA. This authorization confers upon ING ComFin the authority to enter into consultations with Debtors on behalf of Client in respect of any existing assignment or pledge restrictions with regard to Receivables and to agree that these restrictions shall not be applicable to the Receivables.
14.12  
On ING ComFin’s first demand, Client is obliged to state on its invoices to Debtors that the Receivables are pledged to ING ComFin. In addition, ING ComFin is authorized, if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, at all such times, to inform the Debtor of the undisclosed pledge of Receivables, whether or not by means of a bailiff’s notification. ING ComFin may thereby appoint itself as the only party to whom the Debtor can pay the outstanding amount it owes with respect thereto and thus be discharged of its obligations.
14.13  
After the Debtor has been given notice of the pledge, if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, ING ComFin is authorized to the exclusion of Client (who hereby — in so far as necessary — grants ING ComFin for this purpose a power of attorney with the right of substitution), at its sole discretion and expense after timely notifying and in consultation with Client:
  (a)  
to demand, both in and out court, that the Debtor fulfils its obligations in respect of the Receivables;
 
  (b)  
to render the Receivables due for immediate payment, in so far as these are not due for immediate payment and can be rendered due for immediate payment by giving notice;
 
  (c)  
to take all necessary (legal) actions for the collection of the Receivables;
 
  (d)  
to come to an agreement with a Debtor in and out of court, to grant a Debtor partial or full discharge in respect of the Receivables, to grant an indemnity in respect of the amount payable by the Debtor to ING ComFin;
 
  (e)  
to take receipt of all payments made by Debtor in connection with or arising from the Receivables and to use the proceeds of the Receivables to recover all debts due for payment by Client to ING ComFin;
 
  (f)  
to deduct all payments received from Debtor by ING ComFin, after the deduction of all costs related to the collection, from, and to set the same off against all that Client owes ING ComFin at that time under this FSA, for whatever reason; and/or
 
  (g)  
to proceed to sell Receivables without being obliged to provide to give notice as referred to in Section 249 subsection 1 and Section 252 of Book 3 of the Dutch Civil Code.
14.14  
The pledge of Receivables is delivered or shall be delivered together with all dependent rights and accessory rights that are inherent to the Receivables. In the event that the Debtor is in default with regard to its payment obligation or, if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, ING ComFin is authorized, whether or not in the name of Client, to exercise all accessory rights attached to the Receivable, including the right of pledge or mortgage, rights arising from suretyship, rights following from rights of pledge in respect of moveable property (delivered under the retention of title), privileges, and the authority to communicate to Debtor with regard to the Receivable or the aforementioned rights and to execute existing entitlements to enforcement. On ING ComFin’s first demand, if any of the events occur and are continuing that would result in exigibility as set out in Article 18.1 of the General Terms and Conditions, Client is obliged to immediately hand over all documents and evidence, which are reasonably necessary in connection therewith. In so far as required by law, Client hereby authorizes ING ComFin to exercise the rights referred to above (also on behalf of Client) on the terms and conditions referred to above.
14.15  
In the event that foreign law applies to Receivables, the Client hereby undertakes to provide all reasonable cooperation to ensure that these Receivables are transferred by Client to ING ComFin by way of security in accordance with the rules of the applicable law or encumbered by Client for the benefit of ING ComFin in accordance with the rules of the applicable law. Client hereby authorizes ING ComFin to, if necessary, fulfill the conditions required by the applicable foreign laws in order to effect this transfer by way of security or the establishing of security rights. Client hereby declares to provide all reasonable cooperation, on ING ComFin’s first demand, which may be required in order to effect this transfer by way of security or the establishing of security rights in accordance with foreign laws.

Dear Sir, Madam,
For the implementation of and in addition to the agreement(s) concluded between us and ING Commercial Finance B.V. and/or its legal predecessor (hereinafter: ‘ING ComFin’) as well as the agreement(s) concluded between us and ING Bank N.V. (hereinafter: ‘ING’), we hereby declare that we give in first pledge to ING ComFin and in second pledge to ING:
(a) the claims we have against the debtors designated in the annex to this instrument;
(b) the other existing and/or future claims we have or will have against the debtors referred to under (a) pursuant to any legal relationships with such debtors existing at the time of the registration of this instrument;
(c) all existing and/or future claims against parties other than the debtors referred to under (a), including group companies, as well as against ING ComFin and ING, pursuant to any legal relationships existing at the time of registration;
(d) all movables supplied by us to the debtors referred to under (a) and (c) subject to retention of title.
We declare that we will provide further data from our records upon first request (including copies of relevant documents, such as invoices, debtor summaries, underlying contracts, and the like) in order to give ING ComFin and ING the opportunity to further determine the nature and scope of these claims and goods.
The following applies to this pledge, in addition to the provisions included in the agreement(s) referred to above:
1. Each pledge shall be effected with all ancillary rights associated with the claims and goods.
2. In so far as a claim against a debtor consists of several balanced or totalised claims, each such claim shall be deemed to have been pledged separately to ING ComFin and ING.
3. We acknowledge that these pledges have been accepted by ING ComFin and ING by the mere receipt by ING ComFin of this statement.
4. We declare that we are authorized to effect these pledges, as well as that these claims and goods have not already been alienated to a third party and/or have been encumbered in favour of a third party with any restricted right, including a right of pledge.
5. We declare that we will inform ING ComFin immediately of any counterclaim by one of the debtors and/or any agreement with one of the debtors which may affect the amount or indebtedness of the claims or the exigibility of the goods.
6. Insofar as required, we hereby grant ING ComFin and ING irrevocable and unconditional power of attorney to complete the present pledges (in first pledge to ING ComFin and in second pledge to ING) also on behalf of us, as the pledgor, by registering this instrument. Furthermore, in addition to the present pledges, we hereby grant ING ComFin and ING irrevocable and unconditional power of attorney to give in first pledge to ING ComFin and in second pledge to ING at any time in the future on behalf of us, as the pledgor, by notarial or private, registered instrument, all our existing and future claims pursuant to all legal relationships existing between us and third parties at that time (at the time of executing such notarial deed or registering such private instrument) and all goods supplied to such third parties under the same conditions as the ones referred to in this statement. These powers of attorney comprise the authority to perform all acts on our behalf which are required to have notarial pledge instruments executed or to register pledge instruments with the Tax Authorities, and are granted with the power of substitution and with our approval to also act as attorney-in-fact on our behalf as your counterparty.
