If the Regency Lender is obliged to make any payment of Break Costs then it shall in good faith use reasonable endeavours to take such reasonable steps as may reasonably be open to it to mitigate or avoid the effects of such payment of Break Costs by placing any monies received on deposit until such Regency Lender Related Debt is due.
9.2If after the date hereof, the Regency Lender is charged any fee, expense or increased cost pursuant to any Regency Lender Related Debt on account of any other party to such Regency Lender Related Debt having determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court, governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency or regulatory authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof taking effect after the Swiss Funding Date, or compliance by such party with any guideline request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or regulatory authority taking effect after the Swiss Funding Date (a 'Relevant Change'), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such party's (or its holding company's) capital as a consequence of such party's obligation in respect of such Regency Lender Related Debt, to a level below that which such party could have achieved but for such Relevant Change, then, within thirty (30) days of demand by the Regency Lender the Master Purchaser shall pay to the Regency Lender, an amount equal to each such amount charged to the Regency Lender pursuant to the terms of the relevant Regency Lender Related Debt (together, 'Increased Costs'). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or any foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III; (iii) the CRR; and (iii) Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms and any law or regulation which implements either of them, shall in each case be deemed to be a 'Relevant Change,' regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
9.3Any demand made by the Regency Lender under Clause 9.1 or, as the case may be, Clause 9.2 shall be accompanied by a statement signed by a duly authorised signatory of the Regency Lender giving (to the extent that such information is within its possession and knowledge and that disclosure of such information would not involve the breach of any duty of confidentiality, the disclosure of any unpublished price sensitive information or the breach of any Requirement of Law owed by the Regency Lender to any other person) reasonable particulars of:
(a)in the case of a demand under Clause 9.1, the calculation of the claim for reimbursement; and
(b)in the case of a demand made under Clause 9.2, the Relevant Change and how the relevant amount has been calculated,


together with any supporting documentation.

9.4Each amount certified by the Regency Lender as being due under this Clause 9 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount so claimed.

deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required.

The Master Purchaser, the Regency Lender, the Styron Security Trustee or the Instructing Party, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to claim any Tax Credit and, if it does so claim, shall have absolute discretion as to the extent, order and manner in which it does so but shall in no circumstances be liable to any of the Swiss Sellers, the Dutch Seller, the Swiss Servicers or the Dutch Servicer for not doing so.

12.8After Tax Amount

In the event that any taxing authority seeks to charge to Tax any sum paid to the Master Purchaser, the Regency Lender, the Styron Security Trustee or the Instructing Party as a result of the indemnities contained herein then the amount so payable shall be grossed up by such amount as to ensure that after payment of the Tax so charged (and taking account of the Tax effect of any loss giving rise to the right to such an indemnity) there shall be left a sum equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under such indemnity or obligation.

12.9Excluded Tax
(a)Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Transaction Document, none of the U.S. Sellers, U.S. Servicers, U.S. Intermediate Transferor, Swiss Sellers, Swiss Servicers and Chargor, German Seller, German Servicer, Dutch Seller, Dutch Servicer, Parent, Guarantor, the Styron Security Trustee or the Master Purchaser (a 'Deducting Party') shall be required to pay any additional amounts, gross-up, indemnity payment or other similar amount with respect to any Tax imposed under the laws of the United States that is an Excluded Tax (a 'Deduction'), as such term is defined in the U.S. Intermediate Transfer Agreement.

(iii)upon the Styron Security Trustee giving written notice to the Relevant Transaction Parties that it has determined in its sole opinion, that there is no reasonable likelihood of there being any further realisations in respect of the Charged Property (whether arising from an enforcement of the Security or otherwise) which would be available to pay unpaid amounts outstanding under the Relevant Transaction Documents, the Relevant Transaction Party shall have no further claim against the Master Purchaser in respect of any such unpaid amounts and such unpaid amounts shall be extinguished and discharged in full.

(a)it shall retain, on an ongoing basis, as 'originator' (as defined in Article 2(3) of the EU Securitisation Regulation and Article 2(3) of the UK Securitisation Regulation) a material net economic interest of not less than 5% of the nominal value of the Purchased Receivables sold by it, or in the case of the Styron Lender, sold by the German Seller, as required from time to time in accordance with Article 6(1) of the EU Securitisation Regulation and Article 6(1) of the UK Securitisation Regulation (such interest, the 'Retained Interest'). Such Retained Interest will comprise each Retention Holder retaining all or a portion of the first loss tranche so that the principal amount of the Deferred Purchase Price (in respect of each of the Retention Holders (other than the Styron Lender)) or the Styron Loans (in respect of the Styron Lender) to which such Retention Holder is directly or indirectly exposed equals an amount not less than 5% of the nominal value of all Purchased Receivables sold to the Master Purchaser from time to time;
(b)it shall not change the manner in which it retains the Retained Interest except to the extent permitted under Article 6 of the EU Securitisation Regulation and Article 6 of the UK Securitisation Regulation, and it shall promptly notify the Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser


and the Regency Lender if any change is made in the manner in which it retains such Retained Interest;
(c)it will not, and will procure that no Affiliate will, (i) sell, transfer or surrender all or any part of its rights, benefits or obligations arising from the Retained Interest; (ii) allow the Retained Interest to become subject to any form of credit risk mitigation or hedging, or (iii) take any action which would reduce its exposure to the economic risk of the Deferred Purchase Price or the Styron Loans (as applicable) in such a way that it ceases to retain the Retained Interest, in each case, except to the extent permitted in accordance with the EU Securitisation Regulation and the UK Securitisation Regulation;
(d)that, in accordance with Article 9 of the EU Securitisation Regulation and Article 9 of the UK Securitisation Regulation:
(i)it shall apply to exposures to be securitised the same sound and well-defined criteria for credit-granting which it applies to non-securitised exposures;
(ii)the same clearly established processes for approving, amending, renewing and financing credits shall be applied, and has effective systems in place to apply such processes; and
(iii)it shall ensure that its credit-granting in respect of the Receivables is based on a thorough assessment of the Obligor's creditworthiness (taking appropriate account of factors relevant to verify the prospect of the Obligor meeting its obligations under the Contract);
(e)it shall confirm its continued compliance with the covenants set out above on a monthly basis to the Master Purchaser and the Cash Manager in writing, which may be by way of email or inclusion in the U.S. Servicers' Monthly Report, the Swiss Servicers' Monthly Report, the Dutch Servicer's Monthly Report or the German Servicer's Monthly Report (with the German Servicer confirming such information on behalf of the Styron Lender), as applicable;
(f)it shall promptly provide the Regency Lender with such information in its possession or control or reasonably capable of being obtained by it as the Regency Lender may from time to time reasonably request to enable the Regency Lender or any provider of liquidity, credit enhancement, hedging or other facilities to comply with any applicable requirements of Article 5 of the EU Securitisation Regulation or Article 5 of the UK Securitisation Regulation and any other applicable due diligence provision or transparency provision of the EU Securitisation Regulation and the UK Securitisation Regulation as long as the provision of such information would not cause the Retention Holder to breach any applicable law or regulation;
(g)it shall take such further action as may reasonably be required to ensure that the applicable provisions of the EU Securitisation Regulation and the UK Securitisation Regulation are complied with in respect of the Transaction and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any other action as may reasonably be required by the Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser and the Regency Lender to achieve such compliance by any relevant party; and
(h)it shall promptly, upon the occurrence of a breach of any of its obligations under this Clause, notify the Cash Manager, the Master Purchaser and the Regency Lender of any such breach.
28.2Securitisation Regulation representations
(a)Each Retention Holder represents and warrants that:
(i)it is not an entity that has been established or that operates for the sole purpose of securitising exposures;
(ii)it has a strategy and the capacity to meet payment obligations consistent with a broader business model that involves material support from capital, assets, fees or other sources of income, by virtue of which the Retention Holder does not rely on the exposures to be securitised, nor on any interests retained or proposed to be retained in accordance with the EU Securitisation Regulation and the UK Securitisation Regulation, or on any corresponding income from such exposures and interests, as its sole and predominant source of revenue; and


(iii)the responsible decision makers have the necessary experience to enable the Retention Holder to pursue the established business strategy, as well as adequate corporate governance arrangements.

1. Unsere Angebote sind bezüglich Preis, Menge, Lieferfrist und Liefermöglichkeit freibleibend. Angebote können nur binnen 30 Tagen angenommen werden.

2. Die in Datenblättern, Broschüren und anderem Werbe- und Informationsmaterial enthaltenen Informationen und Daten dienen nur als Richtschnur und werden nur dann verbindlicher Vertragsinhalt, wenn wir dem ausdrücklich schriftlich zugestimmt haben.

3. Eigenschaften von Mustern und Proben sind nur dann verbindlich, wenn dies ausdrücklich vereinbart wurde.

4. Beschaffenheits- und Haltbarkeitsangaben gelten nur dann als Garantien, wenn sie ausdrücklich als solche bezeichnet werden. Dasselbe gilt für die Übernahme eines Beschaffungsrisikos.

III.Preise, Zahlung, Verzug, Beendigung bei Insolvenzantrag

1. Die Preise verstehen sich ausschließlich gesetzlicher Mehrwertsteuer, äußerer Verpackung und Versandkosten (ab Werk).

2. Alle Preise beruhen auf den Kostenfaktoren im Zeitpunkt des Vertragsschlusses bzw. der Auftragsbestätigung. Treten danach wesentliche Erhöhungen der Kosten für Rohstoffe, Energie, Frachten oder Verpackungsmaterial bei uns oder unserem Lieferanten ein und führen diese zu einer wesentlichen Erhöhung unserer Einkaufspreise oder Selbstkosten, so sind wir berechtigt, unverzüglich mit dem Käufer Verhandlungen über eine Preisanpassung zu verlangen. Kommt innerhalb angemessener Frist eine Übereinkunft nicht zustande, so sind wir bezüglich noch ausstehender Lieferungen von unserer Lieferpflicht entbunden.

3. Unsere Rechnungen sind innerhalb der vereinbarten Zahlungsfrist zu bezahlen, spätestens 30 Tage ab Rechnungsdatum .

Maßgebend für die Einhaltung von Zahlungsfristen ist der Eingang der Zahlung auf unseren Konten. Schecks werden nur zahlungshalber angenommen. Anfallende Spesen gehen zu Lasten des Käufers.

4. Bei Zahlungsverzug werden Zinsen in Höhe von 8 Prozentpunkten jährlich über dem jeweiligen Basiszinssatz (§ 247 BGB) fällig. Der Nachweis eines weitergehenden Verzugsschadens bleibt vorbehalten.

6. Der Käufer kann nur mit solchen Ansprüchen aufrechnen oder ihretwegen die Zahlung zurückhalten, die schriftlich unbestritten oder rechtskräftig festgestellt sind.

7. Wir sind berechtigt, ausstehende Lieferungen nur gegen Vorkasse durchzuführen oder von der Stellung einer Sicherheit abhängig zu machen, wenn der Käufer mit vereinbarten Zahlungszielen auch nach Ablauf einer angemessenen Nachfrist in Verzug ist oder Umstände vorliegen, die bei Anlegung banküblicher Maßstäbe Zweifel an der Zahlungsfähigkeit des Käufers begründen. In diesen Fällen sind wir darüber hinaus berechtigt, alle Forderungen gegen den Käufer aus der Geschäftsverbindung sofort fällig zu stellen.

8. Dieser Kaufvertrag endet automatisch, wenn ein Antrag auf Eröffnung eines Insolvenzverfahrens über das Vermögen des Käufers ge

stellt wird und das zuständige Insolvenzgericht daraufhin Sicherungsmaßnahmen gemäß §§ 21, 22 InsO anordnet.

Die Lieferzeit beginnt mit der Absendung unserer Auftragsbestätigung, jedoch nicht vor Klärung aller für die Durchführung des Vertrages wesentlichen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit vom Käufer vorzunehmenden Handlungen. Insbesondere beginnt die Lieferzeit nicht, bevor wir vom Käufer oder dessen Vertreter alle für die Lieferung benötigten Informationen erhalten bzw. bevor der Käufer nachweist, dass er, soweit erforderlich, vertragsgemäß ein Akkreditiv eröffnet oder eine Vorauszahlung bzw.

von uns nicht zu vertreten, wenn sie während eines bereits vorliegenden Verzuges eintreten. Beginn und Ende solcher Hinderungsgründe teilen wir dem Käufer baldmöglichst schriftlich mit.

5. Falls Lieferung einer Gesamtmenge in mehreren Abrufen vereinbart ist, hat der Käufer die Einzellieferungen gleichmäßig über das Kalenderjahr zu verteilen. Falls in einem Kalendermonat mehr als 10% des jährlichen Lieferumfangs abgerufen werden soll, bedarf dies unserer vorherigen, schriftlichen Zustimmung.

6. Wir bestimmen die Art der Verpackung und des Versands.

7. Die Gefahr geht spätestens mit der Absendung des Leistungsgegenstandes auf den Käufer über, und zwar auch dann, wenn wir zusätzliche Leistungen wie Verladung, Transport oder Entladung übernommen haben. Verzögert sich die Lieferung infolge von Umständen, die der Käufer zu vertreten hat, geht die Preisgefahr am Tag der Mitteilung der Lieferbereitschaft auf ihn über. Auf Verlangen des Käufers versichern wir die jeweilige Sendung auf seine Kosten gegen Diebstahl, Bruch-, Transport-, Feuer- und Wasserschäden.

8. Beanstandungen wegen Transportverzögerungen, Fehlmeldungen oder Transportschäden hat der Käufer unverzüglich gegenüber unserem Spediteur und Frachtführer geltend zu machen und uns dies unverzüglich mitzuteilen.

Ansprüche des Käufers wegen Mangelhaftigkeit oder Unvollständigkeit der Lieferung sind ausgeschlossen, wenn er dieser Verpflichtung nicht nachkommt.

2. Sollte die Ware Mängel aufweisen, können wir nach unserer Wahl als Nacherfüllung die Mängel beseitigen oder mangelfreien Ersatz leisten. Erst wenn dies wiederholt fehlgeschlagen oder unzumutbar sein sollte und es sich nicht nur um unerhebliche Mängel handelt, ist der Käufer nach Maßgabe der gesetzlichen Vorschriften zum Rücktritt oder zur Minderung berechtigt. § 478 BGB bleibt unberührt. Schadensersatzansprüche stehen dem Käufer nach Maßgabe von Ziffer V.6. zu.

Hinsichtlich etwaiger Ersatzlieferungen und Nachbesserungsarbeiten gilt eine Verjährungsfrist von 3 Monaten ab Ablieferung bzw. Ausführung, die aber mindestens bis zum Ablauf der Verjährungsfrist für Mängelansprüche unserer ursprünglichen Leistung läuft (vgl. Ziffer V.9.).

3. Der Käufer hat uns unverzüglich über jede Mängelanzeige seines Kunden in Bezug auf unsere Liefergegenstände zu informieren. Kommt der Käufer dieser Verpflichtung nicht nach, hat er keine Mängelansprüche gegen uns, auch keinen Aufwendungsersatzanspruch gemäß § 478 BGB. Der Käufer hat zudem Beweise in geeigneter Form zu sichern und uns auf Verlangen Gelegenheit zur Überprüfung zu geben.

4. Nicht von uns vorab autorisierte Werbeaussagen des Käufers in seinen Werbematerialien oder gegenüber seinen Kunden begründen keine Mängelansprüche gegen uns.

5.Mängelansprüche bestehen nicht bei nur unerheblicher Abweichung von der vereinbarten Beschaffenheit und/ oder bei nur unerheblicher Beeinträchtigung der Brauchbarkeit. Wir haften nicht für die Eignung der Ware für die vom Käufer beabsichtigten Zwecke, es sei denn, der beabsichtigte Zweck ist schriftlicher Vertragsinhalt.
6.Wir haften unbeschränkt nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz, in Fällen der ausdrücklichen Übernahme einer Garantie oder eines Beschaffungsrisikos sowie wegen vorsätzlicher oder grob fahrlässiger Pflichtverletzungen. Ebenso haften wir unbeschränkt bei vorsätzlicher oder fahrlässiger Verletzung des Lebens, des Körpers oder der Gesundheit. Für leicht fahrlässig verursachte Sach- und Vermögensschäden haften wir nur im Falle der Verletzung solcher Pflichten, deren Erfüllung die ordnungsgemäße Durchführung des Vertrags überhaupt erst ermöglicht und auf deren Erfüllung der Käufer in besonderem Maße vertrauen darf („wesentliche Vertragspflichten), jedoch begrenzt auf den bei Vertragsschluss voraussehbaren, vertragstypischen Schaden.
7.Ansprüche auf Ersatz von Schäden aller Art, die infolge unsachgemäßer Behandlung, Veränderung, Montage und/oder Bedienung der Liefergegenstände oder durch fehlerhafte Beratung oder Einweisung durch den Käufer entstehen, sind ausgeschlossen, es sei denn, wir haben sie zu vertreten. Zudem trägt der Käufer die volle Verantwortung für die Verwendung eines auf seinen Wunsch auf der Ware erscheinenden Designs, Warenzeichens oder Handelsnamens.
8.Ist der Käufer berechtigt, Schadensersatz statt der Leistung zu verlangen oder vom Vertrag zurückzutreten, so muss er sich auf unser Verlangen binnen angemessener Frist erklären, ob und wie er von diesen Rechten Gebrauch machen wird. Erklärt er sich nicht fristgerecht oder besteht er auf der Leistung, ist er zur Ausübung dieser Rechte erst nach fruchtlosem Ablauf einer weiteren angemessenen Nachfrist berechtigt.
9.Ansprüche wegen Mängeln verjähren in 12 Monaten ab Gefahrübergang. Für Rechtsmängel gilt Entsprechendes. Bei vorsätzlichen Pflichtverletzungen, bei Ansprüchen aus unerlaubter Handlung, beim Fehlen garantierter Eigenschaften, bei Übernahme von Beschaffungsrisiken sowie bei Verletzung von Personen gelten die gesetzlichen Verjährungsfristen. Ist die Leistung für ein Bauwerk bestimmt und hat sie dessen Mangelhaftigkeit verursacht, beträgt die Verjährungsfrist für Mängelansprüche 5 Jahre. §§ 438 Abs. 3, 479 und 634 a Abs. 3 BGB bleiben unberührt.
10.Falls dem Käufer wegen einer von uns zu vertretenden Verzögerung ein Schaden entsteht, kann er für jede volle Woche der Verzögerung 0,5%, insgesamt aber höchstens 5% vom Rechnungspreis desjenigen Teils der Leistung verlangen, der infolge der Verspätung nicht rechtzeitig oder nicht vertragsgemäß benutzt werden kann.
11.Eine weitergehende Haftung auf Schadensersatz als in den vorstehenden Absätzen dieser Ziffer V. vorgesehen, ist - ohne Rücksicht auf die Rechtsnatur des geltend gemachten Anspruchs - ausgeschlossen.
12.Die vorstehenden Haftungsbeschränkungen gelten nach Grund und Höhe auch zugunsten unserer gesetzlichen Vertreter, Mitarbeiter und sonstigen Erfüllungs- und/oder Verrichtungsgehilfen.

VI.Eigentumsvorbehalt

1. Wir behalten uns das Eigentum an allen gelieferten Waren vor, bis der Käufer sämtliche derzeitigen und künftigen Verpflichtungen aus der Geschäftsverbindung mit uns vollständig erfüllt hat. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn Zahlungen auf besonders bezeichnete Forderungen geleistet werden. Bei laufender Rechnung gilt die Vorbehaltsware als Sicherheit für die Saldoforderung.

2. Be- und Verarbeitung der Vorbehaltsware erfolgen für uns als Hersteller im Sinne des § 950 BGB, ohne uns zu verpflichten. Die be-/verarbeitete Ware gilt als Vorbehaltsware im Sinne dieser Bedingungen. Wird die Vorbehaltsware mit anderen, uns nicht gehörenden Gegenständen verarbeitet oder untrennbar vermengt/verbunden, so erwerben wir das Miteigentum an der neuen Sache im Verhältnis des Rechnungswertes der Vorbehaltsware zum Rechnungswert der anderen


verwendeten Gegenstände zum Zeitpunkt der Verarbeitung oder Vermengung/Verbindung. Wird die Vorbehaltsware mit anderen, uns nicht gehörenden Gegenständen zu einer einheitlichen Sache verbunden oder untrennbar vermengt und ist diese Sache als Hauptsache anzusehen, so überträgt uns der Käufer hiermit anteilmäßig Miteigentum, soweit die Hauptsache ihm gehört. Der Käufer verwahrt das so entstandene Eigentum unentgeltlich für uns mit.

3. Der Käufer ist bis zu unserem Widerruf, der jederzeit und ohne besondere Begründung zulässig ist, berechtigt, die Vorbehaltsware im ordentlichen Geschäftsgang weiterzuveräußern, weiterzuverarbeiten oder umzubilden. Als Weiterveräußerung in diesem Sinne gilt auch der Einbau in Grund und Boden oder in mit Gebäuden verbundene Anlagen oder die Verwendung zur Erfüllung sonstiger Verträge.

Der Käufer tritt uns für den Fall der Weiterveräußerung bereits hiermit seine aus einer solchen Veräußerung entstehende Kaufpreisforderung gegen den Kunden ab. Wird die Vorbehaltsware vom Käufer zusammen mit anderen, nicht von uns gelieferten Sachen veräußert, so gilt die Abtretung nur in Höhe der in unserer Rechnung genannten Werte der jeweils veräußerten Vorbehaltsware. Bei der Weiterveräußerung von Gegenständen, an denen wir gemäß Ziffer VI.2. Miteigentumsanteile haben, gilt die Abtretung in Höhe dieser Miteigentumsanteile. Die abgetretenen Forderungen dienen in demselben Umfang zur Sicherheit wie die Vorbehaltsware.

Wird die abgetretene Forderung in eine laufende Rechnung aufgenommen, so tritt der Käufer bereits jetzt einen der Höhe nach dieser Forderung entsprechenden Saldo aus dem Kontokorrent an uns ab.

Der Käufer ist bis zu unserem Widerruf, der jederzeit und ohne besondere Begründung zulässig ist, berechtigt, die uns abgetretene Forderung einzuziehen. Er ist auf unser Verlangen verpflichtet, seinen Kunden die Vorausabtretung an uns anzuzeigen und uns die zur Geltendmachung der Forderung erforderlichen Auskünfte und Unterlagen zur Verfügung zu stellen.

4. Übersteigt der Wert der für uns bestehenden Sicherheiten unsere Forderungen insgesamt um mehr als 10%, geben wir auf Verlangen des Käufers entsprechende Sicherheiten nach unserer Wahl frei.

5. Zu anderen Verfügungen über die Vorbehaltsware (Verpfändungen, Sicherungsübereignungen) oder anderen Abtretungen der in Ziffer VI.3. genannten Forderungen ist der Käufer nicht berechtigt. Im Falle von Pfändungen oder Beschlagnahmen der Vorbehaltsware hat der Käufer auf unser Eigentum hinzuweisen und uns unverzüglich zu informieren.

6. Der Käufer ist verpflichtet, die Vorbehaltsware gegen alle üblichen Risiken, insbesondere gegen Feuer, Einbruchs- und Wassergefahren auf eigene Kosten angemessen zu versichern, sie pfleglich zu behandeln und sie ordnungsgemäß zu lagern.

7. Ist der Käufer mit der Zahlung von mindestens zwei Kaufpreisraten ganz oder teilweise in Zahlungsverzug, sind wir nach erfolglosem Ablauf einer von uns gesetzten Nachfrist auch dann zur Rücknahme der Vorbehaltsware berechtigt, wenn wir nicht vom Vertrag zurückgetreten sind.

VII.Leistung durch verbundene Unternehmen

Auf unser Verlangen kann jede unserer vertraglichen Verpflichtungen durch ein anderes Unternehmen des Konzerns Trinseo S.A. (Luxemburg) erfüllt werden. Die berechtigten Interessen des Käufers sind dabei angemessen zu berücksichtigen. Solange die Leistung gleichwertig ist, gelten die betreffenden vertraglichen Verpflichtungen als erfüllt.

VIII.

Beachtung von Sicherheits- und sonstigen Vorschriften

1. Soweit im Einzelfall nicht abweichend vereinbart, ist der Käufer für die Beachtung gesetzlicher und behördlicher Vorschriften sowie anerkannter Praktiken bezüglich Einfuhr, Transport, Lagerung, Handhabung, Verwendung und Entsorgung der Ware verantwortlich.

2. Der Käufer ist zudem verpflichtet,

sich mit allen von uns gestellten Produktinformationen einschließlich Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) vertraut zu machen,
seinen Mitarbeitern, Auftragnehmern, Agenturen und Kunden ausreichende Anweisungen zum Umgang mit den Produkten zu erteilen,
geeignete Maßnahmen zur Verhütung von schädlichen Umwelteinwirkungen und anderen Gefahren für Personen oder Vermögenswerte durch unsere Ware zu treffen.

3. Verletzt der Käufer die in Ziffer VIII.1. und 2. genannten Pflichten nicht unerheblich, sind wir berechtigt, nach vorheriger Abmahnung vom Vertrag zurückzutreten.

4. Der Käufer haftet gegenüber uns für alle Schäden, die infolge der Missachtung der Sicherheitsvorschriften durch ihn entstehen und stellt uns von entsprechenden Inanspruchnahmen Dritter frei.

IX. Übertragung von Rechten, Markenbenutzung

1. Die Übertragung der Rechte des Käufers aus der Vertragsbeziehung ist nur mit unserer vorherigen, schriftlichen Zustimmung zulässig.

2. Der Käufer darf die für uns geschützten Marken in seiner Werbung nur mit unserem zuvor erteilten Einverständnis, nach unseren Vorgaben, in der Originalgestaltung und nur für unveränderte Originalwaren nutzen. Unser Einverständnis kann jederzeit widerrufen werden. Für die Ausgestaltung seiner Werbung trägt der Käufer die alleinige Verantwortung.

X. Vertraulichkeit, Vertragsstrafe, Datenschutz

1. Der Käufer hat die ihm im Rahmen der Vertragsbeziehung offenbarten Geschäfts- und Betriebsgeheimnisse, insbesondere die mit ihm vereinbarten Preise, streng vertraulich zu behandeln. Er wird sie Dritten nur nach unserer vorherigen schriftlichen Zustimmung mitteilen. Der Käufer hat seine Mitarbeiter auf diese Vertraulichkeitsverpflichtung hinzuweisen. Für jeden Fall einer Verletzung dieser Ziffer X. hat der Käufer eine Vertragsstrafe in Höhe von € 10.000,-- zu zahlen.

2. Wir sind berechtigt, die im Zusammenhang mit der Geschäftsbeziehung erhaltenen Daten unter Beachtung der gesetzlichen Vorgaben zu verarbeiten, zu speichern oder zu übermitteln, soweit dies für den Vertragszweck oder zur Wahrung unserer berechtigten Interessen erforderlich ist und kein Grund zur Annahme besteht, dass ein überwiegendes, schutzwürdiges Interesse des Käufers dies verbietet.

3. In diesem Zusammenhang können wir Ihre persönlichen Daten innerhalb unserer weltweit tätigen Unternehmensgruppe sowohl an mit uns verbundenen Unternehmen als auch an im In- und Ausland ansässige Dritte, die für uns Dienstleistungen erbringen, übermitteln. In einigen Ländern gelten möglicherweise weniger strenge Datenschutzbestimmungen für Ihre persönlichen Daten. Wir treffen mit Dritten entsprechende vertragliche Vereinbarungen, die diese verpflichten, die datenschutzrechtlichen Erfordernisse zu beachten, soweit dies geboten ist.



XI. Rechtswahl, Gerichtsstand

1. Es gilt ausnahmslos das für die Rechtsbeziehungen inländischer Vertragspartner maßgebliche Recht der Bundesrepublik Deutschland; die Anwendung des UN-Kaufrechtsübereinkommens vom 11.4.1980 wird ausgeschlossen.

2. Für alle sich aus dem Vertragsverhältnis ergebenden Streitigkeiten ist, wenn der Käufer Kaufmann, eine juristische Person des öffentlichen Rechts oder ein öffentlich-rechtliches Sondervermögen ist oder im Inland keinen allgemeinen Gerichtsstand hat, als Gerichtsstand Frankfurt am Main vereinbart. Wir sind aber berechtigt, den Käufer auch an seinem allgemeinen Gerichtsstand zu verklagen.

11.4.2The Master Purchaser is not required to make an increased payment to the Regency Lender under this Clause for a Tax Deduction imposed under the laws of Ireland from a payment of interest in respect of a Loan if on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender but, on that date, the Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Tax Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant tax authority.
11.4.3The Master Purchaser is not required to make an increased payment to the Lender under this Clause for a Tax Deduction imposed under the laws of the United States with respect to Excluded Taxes, as such term is defined in the U.S. Intermediate Transfer Agreement.
11.5Tax Event

Should the Master Purchaser be required by law to make any Tax Deduction from any sum payable by it hereunder, then the Lender may require the Master Purchaser to repay the Loan in full upon giving the Master Purchaser not less than thirty (30) days' notice, such notice to be irrevocable.

11.6U.S. Tax Forms

If any sum due from the Master Purchaser under a Loan or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the 'first currency') in which the same is payable hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the 'second currency') for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim against the Master Purchaser, (ii) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (iii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the Master Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the relevant Lender from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which the relevant Lender may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.
