If any of the following events (“Event of Repurchase”) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Purchased Receivable: (i) Such Purchased Receivable, at the time of purchase, did not constitute an Eligible Receivable; or (ii) Without limiting clause (i) above and in addition thereto, any representation or warranty made by Seller under Section 3(a) with respect to such Purchased Receivable is incorrect when made and shall have an adverse effect on the ability to collect the Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Receivable, as reasonably determined by the Purchaser; or (iii) Seller fails to perform or observe any term, covenant or provision with respect to such Purchased Receivable and such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the ability to collect the Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Receivable; or (iv) the Account Debtor on such Purchased Receivable asserts an actual Dispute in writing or Dilution has occurred with respect to such Purchased Receivable, excluding any Dispute or Dilution that (A) relates to the acts or omissions of the Purchaser which are (x) in material violation of applicable law relating to such action or omission or (y) in material breach of its obligations hereunder, (B) does not relate to the acts or omissions of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (C) does not relate to the transfer of such Purchased Receivable from the Seller to the Purchaser and (D) does not relate to the goods or services that are the subject of such Purchased Receivable; or (v) Seller instructs the Account Debtor on such Purchased Receivable to pay amounts owing in respect of such Purchased Receivable to an account other than the Collection Account; then, Seller shall, within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor from Purchaser (such date, the “Repurchase Date”), repurchase all (or any portion) of such Purchased Receivable then outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any portion of a Purchased Receivable is subject to repurchase, the related invoice shall not be divided. The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) for such Purchased Receivable shall be the amount equal to the sum of (i) the Net Invoice Amount relating to such Purchased Receivable less the aggregate amount of all Collections with respect to such Purchased Receivables deposited into


 
14 743429912 the Collection Account, plus (ii) interest for the period from the Scheduled Payment Date for such Purchased Receivable until the date the Repurchase Price has been repaid in full, at a rate equal to the Discount Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchased Receivable is subject to a Repurchase Event described above as a result of a Dispute or an event of Dilution which affects or only applies with respect to a portion of such Receivable that is less than 10% of the Net Invoice Amount thereof, the Seller may, in its discretion, elect to satisfy its obligation under this Section 7 by rather than repurchasing such Receivable and paying the Repurchase Price therefor, paying to the Purchaser on what would otherwise have been the Repurchase Date, an amount in cash equal to the entire amount which is the subject of such Dispute or Dilution plus interest due thereon for a period from the Scheduled Payment Date for such Purchased Receivable until the date the Seller pays such amount in full, at a rate equal to the Discount Rate at such time (such amount, the “Subject Payment Amount”). If the Seller elects not to repurchase the entire Receivable but rather pay the Subject Payment Amount with respect thereto then each of the parties hereto hereby agrees, that any such Receivable will remain the property of the Purchaser hereunder and shall not be or be deemed to have been sold back to the Seller on the applicable Repurchase Date. The Repurchase Price or Subject Payment Amount, as applicable, for a Purchased Receivable and all amounts due hereunder with respect to such Purchased Receivable shall be paid to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Repurchase Date. Upon the payment in full of the Repurchase Price for a Purchased Receivable and all amounts due hereunder with respect to such Purchased Receivable, such Purchased Receivable shall be automatically and without further action sold by Purchaser to Seller without recourse to or representation or warranty, express or implied, by Purchaser. Upon repurchase by Seller, Seller shall have all right, title and interest in and to such repurchased Purchased Receivables. Seller agrees that Purchaser may set off in the manner set forth in paragraph (f) below against any unpaid obligation of Seller under this Section 7(a). Amounts due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Discount Rate. (b) General Indemnification. (i) Indemnities by Seller. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser (together with its officers, directors, agents, representatives, shareholders, counsel and employees, each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following: (i) the sale to Purchaser of any Receivable as to which the representations and warranties made herein are not all true and correct on the Purchase Date therefor; (ii) any representation or warranty made by Seller (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement (except with respect to the Purchased Receivables) which shall have been incorrect in any respect when made; (iii) the failure by Seller to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Purchased Receivable; (iv) the failure to vest in Purchaser a perfected interest in each Purchased Receivable and other Sold Assets and the proceeds and Collections in respect thereof free and clear of any liens or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than those granted under this Agreement); (v) any Dispute or any other claim related to such Purchased Receivable (or any portion thereof) excluding any Dispute or claim that (A)


 
15 743429912 relates to the acts or omissions of the Purchaser which are (x) in material violation of applicable law relating to such action or omission or (y) in material breach of its obligations hereunder, (B) does not relate to the acts or omissions of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (C) does not relate to the transfer of such Purchased Receivable from the Seller to the Purchaser and (D) does not relate to the goods or services that are the subject of such Purchased Receivables; (vi) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents, the commingling by Seller of Collections at any time with other funds of Seller or any other Person; (vii) any products liability claim, personal injury or property damage suit, environmental liability claim or any other claim or action by a party of whatever sort, whether in tort, contract or any other legal theory, arising out of or in connection with the goods or services that are the subject of any Purchased Receivable with respect thereto; (viii) this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the purchases of the Purchased Receivables by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, excluding any Dispute or claim that (A) relates to the acts or omissions of the Purchaser which are (x) in material violation of applicable law relating to such action or omission or (y) in material breach of its obligations hereunder, (B) does not relate to the acts or omissions of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (C) does not relate to the transfer of such Purchased Receivable from the Seller to the Purchaser and (D) does not relate to the goods or services that are the subject of such Purchased Receivables; (ix) any currency restrictions or foreign political restrictions or regulations; (x) any failure by any Person who is not a party to the Intercreditor Agreement and to whom Seller or Purchaser directs or furnishes payment to pay over to the Purchaser reasonably promptly any Collections on account of Purchased Receivables received by it; or (xi) the failure of Seller to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents. The foregoing indemnification shall not apply in the case any claims, losses or liabilities to the extent resulting solely from (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) lack of credit worthiness of the related Account Debtor or an Account Debtor Insolvency Event or (3) acts or omissions of the Purchaser (A) which are (x) in material violation of applicable law relating to such action or omission or (y) in material breach of its obligations hereunder, (B) which do not relate to the acts or omissions of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, (C) which do not relate to the transfer of such Purchased Receivable from the Seller to the Purchaser and (D) which do not relate to the goods or services that are the subject of such Purchased Receivables, (4) taxes imposed on Purchaser under FATCA, or (5) with respect to the occurrence of the events set forth in clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, to the extent such Purchased Receivable has been repurchased by the Seller. Amounts due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Delinquent Rate. (ii) [Reserved]. (c) Tax Indemnification. All payments on the Purchased Receivables from the Account Debtors will be made free and clear of any present or future taxes, withholdings or other deductions whatsoever. Seller will indemnify Purchaser for any such taxes, withholdings or deductions other than Excluded Taxes as well as any stamp duty or any similar tax or duty on documents or the transfer of title to property arising in the context of this Agreement which has not been paid by Seller. Further, Seller shall pay, and indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from


 
16 743429912 and against, any taxes other than Excluded Taxes that may be asserted in respect of the Purchased Receivables hereunder prior to the date of sale (including any sales, occupational, excise, gross receipts, personal property, privilege or license taxes, or withholdings, but not including taxes imposed upon Purchaser with respect to its overall net income) and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by Seller hereunder or otherwise. Amounts due hereunder shall accrue interest at the Delinquent Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnities described herein with respect to tax matters, shall only apply with respect to applicable laws, rules and regulations relating thereto which are in existence on the applicable Purchase Date for any Purchased Receivables hereunder and shall not apply with respect to changes to such laws rules or regulations following such Purchase Date; it being understood and agreed that if the Purchaser and/or any Purchased Receivable becomes (following the applicable Purchase Date therefor) subject to any such tax matters which are not subject to the indemnity or recovery of this paragraph (c), Purchaser shall have the right, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Seller, to terminate this Agreement and its commitments hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. If a payment made hereunder to any Indemnified Party would be subject to withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Indemnified Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such persons such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for such persons to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Indemnified Party has complied with such Indemnified Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. (d) Increased Costs. The Purchaser is obtaining the funds to purchase the Purchased Receivables hereunder by selling the Purchased Receivables pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) dated as of September 30, 2021 among Constellium Muscle Shoals Funding III LLC, Constellium Muscle Shoals LLC, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.. Accordingly, if the Purchaser is required to pay increased costs under Section 7(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and such increased costs relate to the commitment to purchase Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, but do not relate to the sale and subsequent ownership of Purchased Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser or its designee, within five (5) days after receiving a written request therefor, all such increased costs that have been paid by the Purchaser. If such increased costs relating to the commitment under the Receivables Purchase Agreement have retroactive application to the commitment under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, such retroactive increase shall be payable by the Seller in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. If the Purchaser is required to pay increased costs under Section 7(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and such increased costs relate to the purchase and ownership of Purchased Receivables, then (x) if such payment results in an adjustment to the discount rate under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to reflect such increased costs with respect to future purchases (but not with respect to any prior purchases), the Discount Rate hereunder shall be correspondingly adjusted with respect to future purchases (but not with respect to any prior purchases) and such adjustments to the Discount Rate shall apply solely to purchases occurring at least five (5) days after the giving of such notice and (y) to the extent it is not practical to so adjust the Discount Rate prior to the applicable Purchase Date,


 
17 743429912 promptly after the applicable Purchase Date the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with a written demand for payment to reflect such increased costs paid by the Purchaser with respect to Regulatory Changes that were in existence on the applicable Purchase Date for any Purchased Receivables hereunder but for which the Discount Rate was not adjusted as described in clause (x), which such increased costs shall be effective and payable by the Seller within five (5) days after the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding any other provision, under no circumstances shall the purchase price of a Purchased Receivable be altered after the Purchase Date therefor as a result of the Purchaser being required to pay increased costs under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. (e) Regulatory Indemnity. Seller will indemnify Purchaser for all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, suits, demands and liabilities (together, the “Losses”) suffered or incurred by or brought against Purchaser arising out of or relating to any Compliance Action, unless such Losses are caused by (i) the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Purchaser or (ii) do not relate to the transfer of such Purchased Receivable from the Seller to the Purchaser under this Agreement. (f) Set-Off. Seller further agrees that, unless Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that it desires to pay on the date when due any amounts due under this Section 7 and Seller makes such payment to Purchaser in immediately available funds on the date that such payment is due, Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Purchaser, without further notice to Seller, to set-off such amount against the Purchase Price of any Proposed Receivables to be purchased on or after such due date. (g) UCC. The rights granted to Purchaser hereunder are in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to Purchaser as a buyer under the UCC or other applicable law. 8. RETAINED OBLIGATIONS. Purchaser shall have no responsibility for, or have any liability with respect to, the performance of any Contract, and neither shall Purchaser have any obligation to intervene in any commercial dispute arising out of the performance of any Contract. All obligations of Seller under each Contract, including all representations and warranty obligations, all servicing obligations, all maintenance obligations, and all delivery, transport and insurance obligations, shall be retained by Seller (the “Retained Obligations”). Neither any claim that Seller may have against any Account Debtor or any other Person, nor the failure of an Account Debtor to fulfill its obligations under the applicable Contracts, shall affect the obligations of Seller to perform its obligations hereunder, and none of such events or circumstances shall be used as a defense or as set-off, counterclaim or cross-complaint as against the performance or payment of any of Seller’s obligations hereunder. 9. COSTS AND EXPENSES; DELINQUENT RATE. (a) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that Purchaser incurs in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, any amendments hereto and the administration, preservation of rights and enforcement hereof. In no event shall such obligation of Seller to reimburse Purchaser include costs incurred by Purchaser in collecting or otherwise enforcing its rights as against the Account Debtors under the Receivables, including, but not limited to, as a result of an Account


 
18 743429912 Debtor Insolvency Event, unless Seller is in breach or default of the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the terms of such Receivable. (b) Any fees, expenses, indemnity, Repurchase Price or other amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement shall bear interest each day from the date due until paid in full at the Delinquent Rate, whether before or after judgment. Such interest shall be payable on demand. Fees are deemed payable on the date or dates set forth herein; expenses, indemnity, or other amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser are due ten (10) days after receipt by Seller of written demand thereof. 10. GENERAL PAYMENTS. All amounts payable by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement shall be paid in full, free and clear of all deductions, set-off or withholdings whatsoever except only as may be required by law, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due by not later than 3:00 pm (New York City time) to the account of Purchaser notified to Seller from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be responsible for any deductions, set-off or withholdings made by the Account Debtors or required by law, except to the extent provided for in Section 7 above. If any deduction or withholding is required by law other than as Excluded Taxes, Seller shall pay to Purchaser such additional amount as necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Purchaser equals to the full amount Purchaser should have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. All payments to be made hereunder or in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be in USD. Any amounts that would fall due for payment on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the succeeding Business Day. All interest amounts calculated on a per annum basis hereunder are calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL PURCHASER SHALL BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR ANY SPECIAL INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS). 12. NOTICES. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice, request or other communication which Purchaser or Seller may be required or may desire to give to the other party under any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and sent by email, hand delivery or first class mail, certified or registered and postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given or made when transmitted with receipt confirmed in the case of email, when received if sent by hand delivery or five (5) days after deposit in the mail if mailed, and in each case addressed to Purchaser or Seller as set forth below. Any party hereto may change the address to which all notices, requests and other communications are to be sent to it by giving written notice of such address change to the other parties in conformity with this paragraph, but such change shall not be effective until notice of such change has been received by the other parties.

GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; ETC.


 
20 743429912 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. 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. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan.

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except by a writing signed by the parties hereto. (b) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Seller may not assign any of its rights hereunder without Purchaser’s prior written consent, given or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser shall have the right without the consent of or notice to Seller to sell, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Purchaser’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder and in any of the Sold Assets hereunder. (c) Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision hereof for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.


 
21 743429912 16. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT. By execution below, each party hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Purchaser’s right, title, and interests in, to and under this Agreement shall be assigned by the Purchaser to Deutsche Bank Trust Company America. and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and each party hereto consents to such assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that so long as the Receivables Purchase Agreement is in effect with respect to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A,. as applicable, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. are third party beneficiaries of the rights of the Purchaser arising hereunder. 17. SUCCESSOR LIBOR RATE. If, on any date of determination, the Purchaser reasonably determines in good faith that LIBOR (for purposes of calculating the Discount Rate and Purchase Price, and any other calculations between such parties based on LIBOR) is not ascertainable and the inability to ascertain LIBOR is unlikely to be temporary, each such Person shall notify the other in writing (the occurrence of the foregoing conditions, a “Benchmark Discontinuation Event”) and LIBOR shall, for any related period thereafter, be an alternate benchmark floating term rate of interest established by the Purchaser that is generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for similar transactions or interest or discount rate calculations in the United States at such time and shall include (i) the spread or method for determining a spread or other adjustment or modification that is generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention for determining such spread, method, adjustment or modification and (ii) other adjustments to such alternate rate and this Agreement (A) to not increase or decrease pricing in effect for any related Purchase Price calculation on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such alternate rate is selected pursuant to this provision (but for the avoidance of doubt which would not reduce the applicable Discount Rate) and (B) other changes necessary to reflect the available interest periods for such alternate rate for similar transactions of this type in the United States at such time (any such rate, the “Successor Benchmark Rate”), and the Purchaser and the Seller shall, if necessary or reasonably requested by the Purchaser, enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15 hereof, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, further that if a Successor Benchmark Rate has not been established pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso after the Purchaser has reached such a determination that LIBOR is not or no longer ascertainable, the Purchaser may select a different alternate rate as long as it is reasonably practicable for the Purchaser to administer such different rate and, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser, the Seller and the parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement, if necessary or reasonably requested by the Purchaser, to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15 hereof, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Benchmark Discontinuation Event occurs, the applicable Discount Rate for any previously purchased Receivables hereunder shall remain the rate used in the calculation of Purchase Price for such Proposed Receivable when originally calculated pursuant to Section 2(d), above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.
