5OVERVIEW OF RECEIVABLES SALES & SERVICING

Receivables:“Receivable” means any and all indebtedness and payment claims (including the VAT portion) of an Originator against a Debtor (other than an Excluded Debtor) for which an invoice has been issued under the underlying Contract, including, without limitation any account, instrument or general intangible, arising in connection with, or constituting consideration for, the sale of goods or rendering of services by that Originator, and includes the obligation to pay any finance charges, fees and other charges with respect thereto including in respect of Tax and any of an Originator’s claims (and any rights to determine the legal relationship, including termination rights) arising under the Contract and includes, unless otherwise specified, any Related Rights and includes, where the context so requires any Purchased Receivables;
Historic nature of transaction:
Greif Inc, group has been using this facility (as amended and restated) since 2012, with the Originators transferring receivables into this securitisation programme continuously throughout that time period.
Therefore the Originators as well as Greif CC and the Italian Intermediary as sellers to the Main SPV have the relevant expertise as such programme has been in existence for greater than five years.
Sch -3



Sale and assignment:
The first step sale of the Receivables from each Originator to the applicable Intermediary is set out at Clause 2 (Agreement to sell and purchase Receivables) of the Originator Receivables Purchase Agreement to which such Originator is party (see section 2 (Document Overview) for further details).
Pursuant to Clause 2 (Agreement to sell and purchase Receivables) of the Greif CC Receivables Purchase Agreement
(a)Greif CC agrees to sell and sells (and assigns, transfers and conveys) to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and purchases (and otherwise accepts and acquires) from Greif CC, without recourse except to the extent provided in the Greif CC Receivables Purchase Agreement:
(b)on (a) the Closing Date and (b) thereafter on each Purchase Date during the Revolving Period, all Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) that the Seller owns or will own on each such date, together with the benefit of all related security and all other ancillary rights, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Related Rights, in each case until but excluding the Stop Purchase Date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Buyer hereby accepts such sale.
Further, the Italian Intermediary agrees to sell and sells (and assigns, transfers and conveys) to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and purchases (and otherwise accepts and acquires) from the Italian Intermediary without recourse except to the extent provided in the Italian Intermediary Receivables Purchase Agreement: on (a) the Closing Date and (b) thereafter on each Purchase Date during the Revolving Period, all Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) that the Seller owns or will own on each such date, together with the benefit of all related security and all other ancillary rights, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Related Rights, in each case until but excluding the Stop Purchase Date. Subject to the provisions of the Italian Intermediary Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Buyer hereby accepts such sale.
The Receivables sold under each Receivables Purchase Agreement in respect of any Data Period will be determined by reference to a schedule (the “Scheduled Receivables”).
Sch -3



Purchase Price:
The purchase price payable by the Buyer to each of the Sellers in respect of the purchase of each Receivable and any Related Rights (if any) relating thereto shall be the Purchase Price which shall be payable in Euro.
The Purchase Price shall be inclusive of any Tax which each of the Sellers may be liable to account for in respect of the transfer of Receivables under this Agreement and accordingly the Sellers shall not be entitled to add any amounts to the Purchase Price in respect of any such Tax.
The parties to the Receivable Purchase Agreement intend the Purchase Price with respect to each Receivable and any Related Rights (if any) to represent fair consideration, reasonably equivalent value and fair market value of such Receivables and Related Rights. In particular, the Purchase Price is determined by taking into consideration the credit risk transferred to the relevant Buyer, the average estimated timing of the repayment of the Receivables and Related Rights by the Debtors and the risk that the Purchased Receivables are repaid after their due date.
Sch -3



Payment of the Purchase Price:
The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) for the Scheduled Receivables (other than any French Receivables) sold and transferred to the Buyer during the preceding Data Period on each Investment Date by:
(a)crediting the amount due to the Seller’s Account; and
(b)to the extent permitted under applicable law, if the Buyer is also scheduled to receive payment from the Seller (other than Collections) on the relevant Investment Date in the same currency, the Buyer may set off such payments subject to the prior consent of the Seller.
In relation to any French Receivables:
(a)the Buyer will pay the Purchase Price for the Scheduled Receivables on each Investment Date on which these Scheduled Receivables are transferred and simultaneously with the delivery by the Seller of the Transfer Document;
(b)on each Investment Date, the Seller will pay a fee (the “Fee”) to the Buyer calculated according to a rate fixed by the parties from time to time on the Investment Date and will be determined on an at arm’s length basis as if the Seller and the Buyer were unconnected companies;
(c)the Fee shall be calculated by applying the rate applicable on the Purchase Date to the aggregate nominal value of all Scheduled Receivables to be purchased by the Buyer on the Purchase Date, regardless of any collections made on the Purchased Receivables by the Seller;
(d)on each Investment Date, the following amount will be booked to the Current Account:
(i)in favour of the Buyer; the Fee; and
(ii)in favour of the Seller; the Purchase Price.
(e)on each Investment Date, the Parties will calculate the intermediate closing balance of the Current Account to be paid on such Investment Date, taking into account all entries scheduled to take place on such Investment Date. The balance resulting from each intermediate closing will be paid in favour of the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be.
Sch -3



Deemed Collections:If and to the extent the Buyer, the Funding Administrator, Lender or a subsequent owner of the Receivables shall be required for any reason to pay over to a Debtor, any Transaction Party or any other Person (other than in accordance with the Transaction Documents) any amount received by itself or on its behalf under the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, or any subsequent Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller, and, accordingly, the Buyer, the Funding Administrator, Lender or a subsequent owner (as the case may be) shall have a claim against the Seller (without duplication) for such amount in the relevant Approved Currency as a Deemed Collection, payable when and to the extent that any distribution to such Debtor, or any Transaction Party or any other Person (as the case may be) is made in respect thereof. The Seller shall pay or cause to be paid an amount in the relevant Approved Currency.

The Performance Indemnity Provider undertakes to pay to (or for the account of) such Beneficiary from time to time such amounts which any Principal is at any time liable to pay to such Beneficiary under or pursuant to the Relevant Transaction Documents (including by way of damages as result of such failure to perform) to the extent that these amounts have become due and payable but have not been paid at the time such amount is to be paid (where applicable, subject to the original applicable grace periods set out in the Relevant Transaction Documents). The Performance Indemnity Provider agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify each Beneficiary from time to time from and against any loss incurred by such Beneficiary as a result of any of the obligations of any Principal under or pursuant to the Relevant Transaction Documents not being performed when due to be performed or such obligations or the guarantee being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective as against any Principal or the Performance Indemnity Provider for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to such Beneficiary, the amount of such loss being the amount which such Beneficiary would otherwise have been entitled to recover from any Principal or the Performance Indemnity Provider.

Interest Rate Risk:
Interest on the Loan shall be payable at a floating rate plus margin, meaning there will be certain interest rate risks applicable to the transaction if interest on the Loan is unpaid.
