The assignment of the Receivable Interests shall include all ancillary rights, priority rights as well as all other rights attached to the German Obligor Receivables

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) CAFCO shall not make purchases under this Section 2.02 during the Term Period for any Bank in an amount which would exceed the Purchase Limit minus the aggregate Bank Commitments of the Term-Out Banks, and (ii) a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 2.02 at any time in an amount which would exceed such Bank’s Bank Commitment less such Bank’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Capital held by CAFCO (whether or not any portion thereof has been assigned under the Asset Purchase Agreement), after giving effect to any reductions of the Capital held by CAFCO to be made on the date of such purchase (whether from the distribution of Collections or from the proceeds of purchases by the Banks). Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make funds available in connection with any purchase.

SECTION 2.03. Receivable Interest Computation. Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any Receivable Interest, as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter remain constant. Such Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, and all Fees and other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent are paid and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.

SECTION 2.04. Settlement Procedures. (a)  Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of Article VI of this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Collection Agent (if other than the Seller) on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Liquidation Day and current computations of each Receivable Interest.

(b) So long as a BB Downgrade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event and the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall not have occurred the Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received by it:

(i) with respect to each Receivable Interest, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest, out of the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, an amount equal to the Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee (and during the Term Period, an amount equal to the Excess Interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances) accrued through such day for such Receivable Interest and not previously set aside;

(ii) with respect to each Receivable Interest, if such day is not a Liquidation Day for such Receivable Interest, reinvest with the Seller on behalf of the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, to the extent representing a return of Capital, by recomputation of such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 2.03;

(iii) if such day is a Liquidation Day for any one or more Receivable Interests, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interests (x) if such day is a Liquidation Day for less than all of the Receivable Interests, the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interests, and (y) if such day is a Liquidation Day for all of the Receivable Interests, all of the remaining Collections (but not in excess of the Capital of such Receivable Interests); provided that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Liquidation Day occurring prior to the Termination Date, and thereafter prior to the Settlement Date for such Fixed Period the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied or waived by the Agent, such previously set aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return of Capital, be reinvested in accordance with the preceding subsection (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions; and

(iv) during such times as amounts are required to be reinvested in accordance with the foregoing subsection (ii) or the proviso to subsection (iii), release to the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess both of such amounts and of the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to subsection (i) above.

(c) If a BB Downgrade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event and the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall comply with the following:

(i) If the Collection Agent shall fail to deliver the Daily Report on any Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, the Collection Agent shall not be permitted to withdraw any amounts from the Lock-Box Accounts on such date or any date thereafter unless and until the Collection Agent shall be in compliance with Section 6.02(h) (but subject to the right of the Agent to prohibit withdrawals by the Collection Agent from the Lock-Box Accounts in accordance with the Lock-Box Agreements);

(ii) On the first Business Day following each Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, if the Daily Report for such date shows that a Cure Period shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall, in the following order:

  (A)   based on the Allocation Percentage on such day, determine the amount of Purchaser Collections and Seller Collections;

  (B)   withdraw from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date and set aside on its books and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors and the Banks that hold Receivable Interests, out of Purchaser Collections, an amount equal to the Yield, Fees, and Collection Agent Fee (and during the Term Period, an amount equal to the Excess Interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances) accrued through such day for the Receivable Interests and not previously set aside;

  (C)   withdraw from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date and release to the Seller the remainder of Purchaser Collections, in each instance to the extent representing a return of Capital, to be reinvested with the Seller in Receivable Interests; provided that, if immediately following any such reinvestment such Deposit Date would be a Pool Non-compliance Date, the Collection Agent shall retain all such remaining Collections in (or, to the extent the Collection Agent has received any such Collections, redeposit such Collections into) the Lock-Box Accounts (and deposit the other such remaining Collections received by it into the Lock-Box Accounts) to be applied pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii)(C); and

  (D)   remit the Seller Collections to the Seller.

(iii) On the first Business Day following each Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, if the Daily Report for such date shows that a Cure Period shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall, in the following order:

  (A)   based on the Allocation Percentage on such day, determine the amount of Purchaser Collections and Seller Collections;

  (B)   withdraw from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date and set aside on its books and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors and the Banks that hold the Receivable Interests, out of Purchaser Collections, an amount equal to the Yield, Fees, and Collection Agent Fee (and during the Term Period, an amount equal to the Excess Interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances) accrued through such day for the Receivable Interests and not previously set aside;

  (C)   remit to the Cash Collateral Account from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the sum of the remaining Collections in the Lock-Box Accounts (and Collections received by the Collection Agent from the Lock-Box Accounts on such Deposit Date) and the remaining Collections of Pool Receivables received by it on such Deposit Date and (y) an amount equal to the excess of the Required Net Receivables Pool Balance over the Net Receivables Pool Balance;

  (D)   withdraw from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date and release to the Seller the remainder of Purchaser Collections, in each instance to the extent representing a return of Capital, to be reinvested with the Seller in Receivable Interests (for purposes of determining the remainder of Purchaser Collections, any Collections which have previously been applied pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii)(C) shall be deemed to be first Seller Collections and then Purchaser Collections); and

  (E)   remit the Seller Collections to the Seller.

(iv) On the first Business Day following each Deposit Date during the Amortization Period, the Collection Agent shall, by no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), remit to the Agent’s Account all Collections in the Lock-Box Accounts and all Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date.

(d) The Collection Agent shall deposit into the Agent’s Account, on the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest, (x) prior to the occurrence of a Liquidation Day, Collections held for the Investors or the Banks that relate to such Receivable Interest pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.04(c)(ii)(B) or 2.04(c)(iii)(B) and (y) following the occurrence of a Liquidation Day, all Collections. The Collection Agent shall pay to itself on each Settlement Date which is not a Liquidation Day Collections set aside with respect to each Receivable Interest on account of accrued Collection Agent Fee. On any Business Day on which funds are on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, the Collection Agent (i) shall, upon written notice from the Agent, and may (if the funds in the Cash Collateral Account exceed $10,000,000), upon written notice to the Agent, remit such funds from the Cash Collateral Account to the Agent’s Account or (ii) may, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account and remit to the Seller all or a portion of the funds in the Cash Collateral Account; provided that such Daily Report shall state that, after taking account of the proposed withdrawal, the Net Receivables Pool Balance on such day will be equal to or greater than the Required Net Receivables Pool Balance, and such Daily Report shall set forth the calculation supporting such statement.

(e) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Agent’s Account, the Agent shall distribute them as follows:

(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors, the Banks and, during any Term-Out Period, the Term-Out Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest and to the Agent in ratable payment in full of all accrued Yield and Fees and remaining unpaid accrued interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances (pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.12); provided, that if such distribution related to Collections remitted from the Cash Collateral Account, such distribution shall be paid to the Investors and the Banks that hold the Receivable Interest in respect thereof, in reduction of Capital.

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks and/or Term-Out Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest and to the Agent in payment in full of all accrued Yield and Fees and interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances, second to such Investors or Banks in reduction to zero of all Capital, third to the Term-Out Banks in reduction to zero of the principal amount of all Cash Secured Advances remaining after application of the Term-Out Bank Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14(d), and fourth to the Investors, Banks, Term-Out Banks or the Agent in payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder, and fourth to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collection Agent Fee.

After the Capital, Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee with respect to a Receivable Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to such Receivable Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 2.04:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned merchandise or services, or any cash discount, discount for quick payment or other adjustment made by the Seller or an Originator, or any setoff, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment;

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.01(h) is no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

(iii) except as provided in subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.04(f), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivables shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Agent, the Investors or the Banks shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) Each Investor and Bank shall pay to the Collection Agent a fee (the “Collection Agent Fee”) of 0.50% per annum on the average daily Capital of each Receivable Interest owned by such Investor or Bank, from the date of purchase of such Receivable Interest until the later of the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest or the date on which such Capital is reduced to zero, payable on the Settlement Date for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, the Collection Agent (if not Ferro, the Seller or its designee or an Affiliate of the Seller) may elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average daily Capital of such Receivable Interest, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests relating to a single Receivables Pool of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in such Receivables Pool. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.04. So long as Ferro is acting as the Collection Agent hereunder, amounts paid as the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the obligation of the Seller to pay the “Collection Agent Fee” pursuant to Section 6.03 of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Originator Purchase Agreement, provided that such obligation of the Seller shall in no event be reduced below zero.

(b) The Seller shall pay to the Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts and on the dates set forth in that certain amended and restated fee agreement dated as of June 6, 2006 between the Seller and the Agent, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, including by Section 10.14 of this Agreement (the “Fee Agreement”).

SECTION 2.06. Payments and Computations, Etc.(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Agent’s Account; provided, that all amounts to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account shall be deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, and in any event such amounts shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account prior to any withdrawal from a Lock-Box Account (other than to directly fund a deposit into the Cash Collateral Account).

(b) Each of the Seller and the Collection Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.0% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c) All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Yield, fees, and other amounts hereunder (including, without limitation, interest on Cash Secured Advances during the Term Period) shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

SECTION 2.07. Dividing or Combining Receivable Interests. Either the Seller or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party received at least three Business Days prior to the last day of any Fixed Period in the case of the Seller giving notice, or up to the last day of such Fixed Period in the case of the Agent giving notice, either (i) divide any Receivable Interest into two or more Receivable Interests having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Receivable Interest, or (ii) combine any two or more Receivable Interests originating on such last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a single Receivable Interest having Capital equal to the aggregate of the Capital of such Receivable Interests; provided, however, that no Receivable Interest owned by CAFCO may be combined with a Receivable Interest owned by any Bank.

SECTION 2.08. Increased Costs. (a) If CNAI, any Investor, any Bank, any entity which purchases or enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or interests therein, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of the capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables or interests therein related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.09) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Investor or Bank of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of Receivable Interests in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, upon demand by such Investor or Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of such Investor or Bank (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Investor or Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Investor or Bank for such increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Investor or Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Additional Yield on Receivable Interests Bearing a Eurodollar Rate. The Seller shall pay to any Investor or Bank, so long as such Investor or Bank shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional Yield on the unpaid Capital of each Receivable Interest of such Investor or Bank during each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, for such Fixed Period, at a rate per annum equal at all times during such Fixed Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Fixed Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Investor or Bank for such Fixed Period, payable on each date on which Yield is payable on such Receivable Interest. Such additional Yield shall be determined by such Investor or Bank and notice thereof given to the Seller through the Agent within 30 days after any Yield payment is made with respect to which such additional Yield is requested. A certificate as to such additional Yield submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Investor or Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Security Interest. As collateral security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller (whether as Seller or otherwise) to be performed under this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Seller hereunder or thereunder, whether for indemnification payments, principal and interest on the Cash Secured Advances, Yield, Capital, fees, expenses or otherwise, the Seller hereby assigns to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, and hereby grants to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, a security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (A) the Preceding Purchase Agreements, including, without limitation, (i) all rights of the Seller to receive moneys due or to become due under or pursuant to the Preceding Purchase Agreements, (ii) all security interests and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under or pursuant to the Preceding Purchase Agreements, (iii) all rights of the Seller to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the Preceding Purchase Agreements, (iv) claims of the Seller for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Preceding Purchase Agreements, and (v) the right of the Seller to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder, (B) all Receivables, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the Related Security with respect thereto and the Collections and all other assets, including, without limitation, accounts, chattel paper, instruments and general intangibles (as those terms are defined in the UCC), including undivided interests in any of the foregoing, owned by the Seller and not otherwise purchased under this Agreement, (C) the Lock-Box Accounts and the Cash Collateral Account, and (D) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.11. Purchase by Term-Out Banks. At least three Business Days prior to the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for any Bank, the Seller shall notify the Agent if the Seller wishes the purchase described in this Section 2.11 to occur. Following such notice, on the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for such Bank, such Bank shall, and agrees to, purchase from the Investor such Bank’s ratable share of all Receivable Interests then owned by the Investor for a purchase price equal to the sum of such Bank’s ratable share of the Capital of such Receivable Interests plus accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees thereon. Such purchase price shall be payable in immediately available funds on the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for such Bank. The Investor shall notify the Agent and the Seller of any such purchase. No further documentation of such purchase shall be required for the effectiveness thereof, provided that if requested by any purchasing Bank, the Investor (or its administrative agent) will execute and deliver an assignment to such Bank in such form as may be mutually agreed between the Investor and such Bank.

SECTION 2.12. Interest on Cash Secured Advances. The Seller shall pay interest to each Term-Out Bank on the unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Cash Secured Advance from the date of such Cash Secured Advance until such principal amount shall be repaid in full, at a rate per annum equal at all times during each Fixed Period to the Assignee Rate for such Fixed Period, payable in arrears on each Settlement Date. On each Settlement Date after the Cash Secured Advance Commencement Date for any Bank, the Agent shall pay to such Bank, on behalf of the Seller, pursuant to a Collateral Advance Account Direction from the relevant Bank, such Bank’s ratable portion (based on the outstanding principal amounts of each Bank’s Cash Secured Advances) of the cash funds that constitute that interest on, and those dividends from, the Term-Out Bank Collateral which shall then be available to be withdrawn from the Collateral Advance Account, for application to the payment of unpaid accrued interest on the Cash Secured Advances. Any remaining unpaid accrued interest on the Cash Secured Advances shall be paid from the Collections of the Pool Receivables pursuant to Section 2.04 and Section 2.14(d).

SECTION 2.13. Repayment of Cash Secured Advances. The Seller shall repay to each Term-Out Bank the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Bank’s Cash Secured Advance on the Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that recourse for such repayment shall be from, and shall be limited to, the Term-Out Bank Collateral and the Collections of the Pool Receivables in accordance with Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds; Security Interest in Collateral Advance Account. (a) The Seller hereby agrees that it shall use the proceeds of the Cash Secured Advances solely to fund and maintain the Collateral Advance Account for the purpose of funding purchases of Receivable Interests from time to time during the Term Period.

(b) The Seller hereby grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Banks, a security interest in the following, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Term-Out Bank Collateral”):

(i) the Collateral Advance Account, all funds from time to time credited to the Collateral Advance Account, all financial assets from time to time acquired with any such funds or otherwise credited to the Collateral Advance Account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other investment property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds or such financial assets; and

(ii) all proceeds of, collateral for, and supporting obligations relating to any and all of the Term-Out Bank Collateral.

(c) The grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Banks pursuant to subsection (b) above secures the payment of the Seller’s obligation to repay the Cash Secured Advances, and to pay interest thereon, pursuant to Section 2.12 and Section 2.13, respectively.

(d) On the Commitment Termination Date for any Bank as to which the Term Period has occurred, the Agent shall (i) convert the Term-Out Bank Collateral that does not constitute cash into cash proceeds and (ii) pay to each Term-Out Bank, on behalf of the Seller, such Bank’s ratable portion of the Term-Out Bank Collateral (it being understood that all the Term-Out Bank Collateral shall then constitute cash or cash proceeds), according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of their respective Cash Secured Advances, for application, first, to the repayment of the outstanding principal amounts of the Cash Secured Advances and, second, to the payment of unpaid accrued interest on the Cash Secured Advances (to the extent such funds are available therefor). Any remaining outstanding principal amount of, and/or unpaid accrued interest on, the Cash Secured Advances shall be paid from the Collections of the Pool Receivables pursuant to Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments. If any Investor or any Bank (for purposes of this Section only, referred to as a “Recipient”) shall obtain payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Capital of, or Yield on, any Receivable Interest or portion thereof owned by it in excess of its ratable share of payments made on account of the Capital of, or Yield on, all of the Receivable Interests owned by the Investors and the Banks (other than as a result of a payment of Liquidation Fee or different methods for calculating Yield), such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Investors or the Banks which received less than their ratable share participations in the Receivable Interests owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

SECTION 2.16. Right of Setoff. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.15, the Agent and each Investor and each Bank is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination or an Incipient Event of Termination to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by the Agent or such Investor or such Bank to, or for the account of, (i) the Seller against any amount owing by the Seller, (ii) the Collection Agent against any amount owing by the Collection Agent, and (iii) any Originator against any amount owing by such Originator, to such person or to the Agent on behalf of such Person (even if contingent or unmatured).

SECTION 6.01. Designation of Collection Agent. The servicing, administration and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Collection Agent so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the Agent gives notice to the Seller of the designation of a new Collection Agent, Ferro is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent at any time may designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed Ferro or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing, administration or collection of the Pool Receivables (and the Agent hereby consents to the subcontracting to Ferro Color or FPL, as the case may be, of the servicing, administration and collection of Receivables originated by Ferro Color or FPL, as the case may be).

SECTION 6.02. Duties of Collection Agent. (a)  The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Seller and the Agent hereby appoint the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, as agent for themselves and for the Investors and the Banks to enforce their respective rights and interests in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts.

(b) The Collection Agent shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.04.

(c) If no Event of Termination, or Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, Ferro, while it is the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as Ferro deems appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, or otherwise amend or modify the terms of any Receivable, provided that the classification of any such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable shall not be affected by any such extension.

(d) The Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and each Investor and Bank, in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables. The Collection Agent shall mark the Seller’s master data processing records evidencing Pool Receivables and, at the written request of the Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Termination, a Non-Investment Grade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event and the 2006 Downgrade Events), or an Incipient Event of Termination, each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable and the related Contract with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold.

(e) The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.

(f) The Collection Agent shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent, furnish to the Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Investors and the Banks pursuant to Section 2.04.

At the request of the Agent, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent reports relating to the Receivable Interests at more frequent intervals.

The Collection Agent hereby elects to transmit Seller Reports to the Agent by electronic mail (each, an “E-Mail Seller Report”), provided that (i) the Collection Agent shall (A) make arrangements with VeriSign, Inc. (or another authenticating organization acceptable to the Agent) to enable the Collection Agent to generate digital signatures and (B) safeguard the keys, access codes or other means of generating its digital signature, (ii) each E-Mail Seller Report shall be (A) formatted as the Agent may designate from time to time and shall be digitally signed and (B) sent to the Agent at an electronic mail address designated by the Agent, and (iii) the Agent (A) shall be authorized to rely upon such E-Mail Seller Report for purposes of this Agreement to the same extent as if the contents thereof had been otherwise delivered to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (B) may, upon notice in writing to the Collection Agent and the Seller, terminate the right of the Collection Agent to transmit E-Mail Seller Reports.

(h) If a Non-Investment Grade Event (but no BB Downgrade Event other than the 2005 Downgrade Event or the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall have occurred and be continuing, on or prior to the close of business on the second Business Day of each Week, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent a Weekly Report which shall contain information related to the Receivables current as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the preceding Week. If a BB Downgrade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event or the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall have occurred and be continuing, by no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on each Business Day, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent a Daily Report which shall contain information relating to the Receivables current as of the close of business on the immediately prior Business Day.

The Agent may notify the Obligors of Pool Receivables, at any time and at the Seller’s expense, of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement.

(b) At any time following the designation of a Collection Agent other than Ferro Corporation pursuant to Section 6.01 or following an Event Termination, a Non-Investment Grade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event or the 2006 Downgrade Events), or an Incipient Event of Termination:

(b) The Seller and the Originators shall perform their respective obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests had not been sold and the exercise by the Agent on behalf of the Investors and the Banks of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the Collection Agent or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts. None of the Agent, the Investors or the Banks shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator will (i) upon the request of the Agent, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Receivable Interests; (ii) mark its master data processing records evidencing the Pool Receivables with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold; and (iii) upon the request of the Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Termination, a Non-Investment Grade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event or the 2006 Downgrade Events), or an Incipient Event of Termination, mark conspicuously each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold.

Such funds shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that funds will be available in amounts sufficient for the Agent to make each distribution as and when required under the terms of this Agreement. All interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) received on funds on deposit in the Collateral Advance Account, to the extent such investment income is not needed to pay the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Term-Out Banks under the terms of this Agreement, shall be added to the Collateral Advance Account.

SECTION 9.01. Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, the Investors, the Banks, any of their respective Affiliates or members or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for uncollectible Receivables or (c) any income taxes incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(i) the creation of an undivided percentage ownership interest in any Receivable which purports to be part of the Net Receivables Pool Balance but which is not at the date of the creation of such interest an Eligible Receivable or which thereafter ceases to be an Eligible Receivable;

(ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

(iii) the failure by the Seller or an Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iv) the failure to vest in the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, (a) a perfected undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of each Receivable Interest, in the Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, or (b) a perfected security interest as provided in Sections 2.10 and 2.14(b), in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(v) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any purchase or reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates acting as Collection Agent);

(vii) any failure of the Seller to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or to perform its duties or obligations under the Contracts;

(viii) any products liability or other claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services which are the subject of any Contract;

(ix) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;

(x) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or Related Security or Contract;

(xi) any failure of the Seller to comply with its covenants contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(xii) any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller in servicing, administering or collecting any Receivable.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 10.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Seller therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent, as agent for the Investors and the Banks (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Seller), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collection Agent in addition to the Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Collection Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.01, Schedule IV hereto may be amended in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.01(b). No failure on the part of the Investors, the Banks or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

SECTION 10.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and faxed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

SECTION 10.03. Assignability. (a) This Agreement and the Investors’ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of each Receivable Interest) shall be assignable by the Investors and their successors and assigns (including, without limitation, pursuant to any Asset Purchase Agreement). Each assignor of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein shall notify the Agent and the Seller of any such assignment. Each assignor of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein may, in connection with any such assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or participant any information relating to the Seller or an Originator, including the Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Seller or by the Agent.

(b) Each Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and any Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that

(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement,

(ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Bank’s Bank Commitment,

(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and

(iv) concurrently with such assignment, such assignor Bank shall assign to such assignee Bank or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement (or, if such assignor Bank is Citibank, it shall arrange for such assignee Bank or other Eligible Assignee to become a party to the Asset Purchase Agreement for a maximum Capital amount equal to the assignee’s Bank Commitment).

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording (pursuant to Section 10.03(c)), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Bank Commitment of, and aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Originators, the Agent and the Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, the Collection Agent, any Originator, or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Bank and an Eligible Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.03, any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement or under the Asset Purchase Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller or the Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Asset Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Bank as a party hereto or to the Asset Purchase Agreement, as the case may be.

(e) Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and the Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that

(i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Bank Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations and

(iii) concurrently with such participation, the selling Bank shall sell to such bank or other entity a participation in an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Agent, the other Banks and the Seller shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Agent herein shall be assignable by the Agent and its successors and assigns.

(g) The Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(h) CAFCO may, without the consent of the Seller, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Receivable Interests); provided that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the obligations of CAFCO shall remain unchanged, (ii) CAFCO shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Seller, the Agent, and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with CAFCO in connection with CAFCO’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which CAFCO sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that CAFCO will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) reduces the amount of Capital or Yield that is payable on account of any Receivable Interest or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the Seller to the Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees. In the absence of such provision from any participation agreement or instrument, the restrictions set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence shall nevertheless apply to the rights of the applicable Participant. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that CAFCO’s source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 6.07, 9.01 and 10.04 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to CAFCO shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants. CAFCO or the Agent may, in connection with any such participation, disclose to Participants and potential Participants any information relating to the Seller or the Originators, including the Receivables, furnished to CAFCO or the Agent by or on behalf of the Seller; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such Participant or potential Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof. Any interest sold by CAFCO to a Bank or its designee under the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be considered a participation for the purpose of this Section 10.03(h) (and the Bank or its designee shall not be considered a Participant as a result thereof).

SECTION 10.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 9.01 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic auditing and the other activities contemplated in Section 5.02) of this Agreement, any Asset Purchase Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent, CNAI, CAFCO, Citibank, and their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent, CNAI, CAFCO, Citibank and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement, and all reasonable costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), of the Agent, CNAI, the Investors, the Banks and their respective Affiliates, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay (i) to the extent not included in the calculation of Yield, any and all commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of commercial paper notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest, (ii) any and all reasonable costs and expenses of any issuing and paying agent or other Person responsible for the administration of CAFCO’s commercial paper program in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery or payment of commercial paper notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest, and (iii) any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

(c) The Seller also shall pay on demand all other costs, expenses and taxes (excluding the cost of auditing CAFCO’s books by certified public accountants, the cost of rating CAFCO’s commercial paper by independent financial rating agencies, and income taxes) incurred by CAFCO or any partner of CAFCO (“Other Costs”), including the taxes (excluding income taxes) resulting from CAFCO’s operations, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for any partner of CAFCO with respect to advising as to rights and remedies under this Agreement, the enforcement of this Agreement or advising as to matters relating to CAFCO’s operations; provided that the Seller and any other Persons who from time to time sell receivables or interests therein to CAFCO (“Other Sellers”) each shall be liable for such Other Costs ratably in accordance with the usage under their respective facilities; and provided further that if such Other Costs are attributable to the Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller, the Seller shall be solely liable for such Other Costs.

SECTION 10.05. No Proceedings; Waiver of Consequential Damages. (a) Each of the Seller, the Agent, the Collection Agent, each Originator, each Investor, each Bank, each assignee of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein and each entity which enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or interests therein hereby agrees that it will not institute against CAFCO any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.01(g) so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness issued by CAFCO shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.

(b) Each of the Originators, the Collection Agent and the Seller agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to them or any of their securityholders or creditors in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

SECTION 10.06. Confidentiality. (a) The Seller, each Originator and the Collection Agent each agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided that this Agreement may be disclosed (i) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) to the legal counsel and auditors of the Seller, the Originators and the Collection Agent if they agree to hold it confidential and (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any court, regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over the Seller, the Originators or the Collection Agent (including, without limitation, the filing of this Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to an annual or quarterly report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and provided, further, that such party shall have no obligation of confidentiality in respect of any information which may be generally available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of such party.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document, each Investor, each Bank and the Agent hereby confirms that the Seller, the Originator and the Collection Agent (and each employee, representative or other agent of each such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

SECTION 10.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT, PURSUANT TO THE UCC OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE INVESTORS AND THE BANKS IN THE RECEIVABLES, AND THE PRECEDING PURCHASE AGREEMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SECTION 2.02(d) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY.

SECTION 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 10.09. Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 6.07, 9.01, 10.04, 10.05 and 10.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.10. Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the Seller, the Collection Agent and the Originators consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.10 shall affect the right of the Investors, any Bank or the Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO.

SECTION 10.12. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in U.S. Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent or the Investors could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency at New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Seller in respect of any sum due from it to the Agent or the Investors hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) in U.S. Dollars, the Seller agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the U.S. Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) in U.S. Dollars, the Agent or the Investors (as the case may be) shall remit to the Seller such excess.

SECTION 10.13. Acknowledgment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the amendment and restatement of the Existing RPA on the terms and conditions set forth herein shall not in any way affect any sales, transfers, assignments or security interest grants effected pursuant to the Original RPA or the Existing RPA or any representations, warranties, covenants or indemnities made by the Seller or the Collection Agent with respect to such sales, transfers, assignments or security interest grants or any rights or remedies of the Agent or the Investors with respect thereto. Each of the parties hereto confirms all sales, transfers, assignments and security interests effected pursuant to the Original RPA and the Existing RPA.

SECTION 10.14. Amendment to Fee Agreement; Termination of Undertaking Agreement. The relevant parties hereto hereby agree that, upon the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing RPA pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof:

(a) the Fee Agreement shall be amended so that the reference to the Existing RPA in the first sentence of the Fee Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to this Agreement, and each occurrence of the defined term “Receivables Purchase Agreement” in the Fee Letter shall be deemed to be a reference to this Agreement; and

(b) the relevant parties hereto agree that, upon the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement of the Existing RPA pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, the Undertaking Agreement dated as of September 28, 2000 made by Ferro in favor of the Seller shall be terminated, provided, however, that all obligations relating to Receivables which were transferred to the Seller prior to such date shall remain in effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

Form of Collateral Advance Account Agreement

ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

(Collateral Advance Account)

     , 200_

Citibank, N.A.

388 Greenwich Street

New York, NY 10013

     
Re:
  Account:     (the “Account”)
 
   
 
  Ferro Finance Corporation (the “Seller”)
 
   

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2008 among Ferro Corporation (“Ferro”), Ferro Color & Glass Corporation (“Ferro Color”), Ferro Pfanstiehl Laboratories, Inc. (“FPL”), Citibank, N.A., the Agent and the Seller (as such terms are herein defined) and the other parties thereto from time to time, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, pursuant to which this Account Control Agreement (Collateral Advance Account) is made and entered into. In connection with certain transactions pursuant to which the Seller has acquired, directly or indirectly, certain accounts receivable (collectively, the “Receivables”) from Ferro, Ferro Color and FPL, and assigned undivided percentage interests in the Receivables to Citicorp North America, Inc., as agent (the “Agent”), the Seller, the Agent and you hereby acknowledge that Ferro (in its capacity as collection agent for the Agent) has established the Account in the name of the Seller, and the Seller has granted to the Agent, a security interest in, and exclusive control and irrevocable authority over, the Account. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller and the Agent desire to perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Account by providing the Agent with “control” (as such term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Account.

In connection with the foregoing, each of Ferro, the Seller and the Agent hereby instruct you to transfer all funds deposited in the Account pursuant to instructions given to you by the Agent from time to time. Each of Ferro, the Seller, the Agent and you agree that from and after the date hereof you will comply with all such instructions given to you by the Agent and directing disposition of such funds in the Account without further consent by either of Ferro or the Seller.

In accordance with the preceding paragraph, the Agent hereby instructs you that from and after the date hereof unless and until the Agent notifies you to the contrary pursuant to a notice of effectiveness substantially in the form of Attachment I hereto, you shall make such transfers from the Account at such times and in such manner as Ferro, in its capacity as collection agent for the Agent, shall from time to time instruct (and such instructions may include an instruction to sweep funds on deposit in the Account pursuant to the Sweep Surplus Cash Management Agreement attached hereto as Attachment II). You are hereby further instructed, in each case, from and after the date hereof, (i) that the Account will be entitled “Citicorp North America, Inc., as Agent — Collateral Advance Account for the Ferro Receivables Purchase Agreement” and (ii) to permit Ferro (in its capacity as collection agent for the Agent), the Seller and the Agent to obtain upon request any information relating to the Account, including, without limitation, any information regarding the balance of or activity in the Account.

The Agent acts as agent for persons having a continuing interest in all of the monies, checks and other items of payment and their proceeds and all monies and earnings, if any, thereon in the Account, and you shall be the Agent’s agent for the purpose of holding and collecting such property. From and after the date hereof, the monies, checks, instruments and other items of payment mailed to, and the funds deposited into, the Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, security interest or any other right in favor of any person other than the Agent, except that (a) you may set off (i) all amounts due to you in respect of your customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Account, (ii) the face amount of any checks or other items credited to the Account and thereafter returned for any reason and (iii) any funds credited to the Account in error, and (b) you may have a right of setoff, security interest or other lien in the funds deposited in the Account so long as such right of setoff (for amounts other than those described in the preceding clause (a)), security interest or other lien is in all respects junior and subordinate to that of the Agent and may not be exercised without the prior consent of the Agent.

This Agreement may not be terminated at any time by any of Ferro, the Seller or you, without the prior written consent of the Agent; provided, that you or the Agent may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other parties. Upon any such termination, you shall transfer all funds in the Account to such account as has been designated by the Agent (the “Designated Account”) and keep the Account open for the limited purpose of accepting wire transfers during the 60-day period following such termination, any such funds received by you to be promptly transferred to the Designated Account. The Seller agrees to pay you on demand your reasonable costs and expenses incurred in complying with the provisions of the preceding sentence, and in the event the Seller does not so pay you, the Agent shall pay such costs and expenses within 30 days after its receipt of notice from you thereof, and the Seller shall promptly reimburse the Agent for any such payment. Following the 60-day period referred to in the second preceding sentence, you may close the Account. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, amended, modified or waived orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Agent, you, Ferro, and the Seller.

You shall not assign or transfer your rights or obligations hereunder (other than to the Agent) without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Seller except that you may assign such rights or obligations to any of your affiliates, provided, you furnish Ferro, the Seller and the Agent with prompt written notice thereof. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Agent, each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

You will not be liable to Ferro, the Seller or the Agent for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to your performance under this Agreement other than those Damages which result directly from your acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or intentional misconduct, subject to the limits in the next succeeding sentence. Your liability is limited to direct money Damages actually incurred in an amount not exceeding the compensation for the services referred to herein during the month in which such acts or omissions occurred.

In no event will you be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits.

You will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of yours, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond your reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of Ferro, the Seller or the Agent or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from your reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

Ferro hereby agrees to indemnify you against, and hold you harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages of any nature (including but not limited to allocated costs of staff counsel, other reasonable attorney’s fees and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement) in any way arising out of or relating to disputes or legal actions concerning this Agreement, the Account, or any money, check, instrument or other form of payment deposited or credited thereto. This paragraph does not apply to any cost or damage attributable to your gross negligence or intentional misconduct. The obligations of Ferro under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. You agree to notify the Seller, Ferro and the Agent in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by you of written notice of the commencement of any suit, proceeding or other action by a third party if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof may be made by you against Ferro under this paragraph; provided, however, that your failure to so notify the Seller and Ferro shall not in any way affect the obligations of Ferro or your rights under this paragraph.

Each party hereto hereby represents (solely as to itself) that the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized by it to so sign.

You hereby represent that you have not, prior to the date hereof, entered into any agreement (unless such agreement has been terminated on or prior to the date hereof) pursuant to which you agreed that you would comply with instructions of any person (other than the Agent) directing disposition of the funds in the Account without further consent by Ferro or the Seller.

You agree to give the Agent and the Seller prompt notice if the Account becomes subject to any writ, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

You (in your capacity as the bank maintaining the Account, and not in any other capacity) agree that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all outstanding obligations of the Seller under the transactions referred to in the first paragraph of this Agreement, you will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Any notice, demand or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when received. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto shall be as set forth below each party’s name below, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

This Agreement shall, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. Your jurisdiction for purposes of Part 3 of UCC Article 9 is the State of New York.
