Each Client shall ensure that it shall direct all its Customers to make all payments in respect of Receivables owing by them (other than Receivables that have been repurchased by a Client) to the Trust Account or, if FGI in its sole discretion agrees, to such other account as directed by FGI (and not to any other bank account unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by FGI).
(b)
If and to the extent that a Customer makes any payment in respect of a Receivable (other than a Receivable that has been repurchased by a Client) other than to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as the case may be (whether by way of making such payment to another account, by way of sending any cheque or other payment instrument directly to the Client, or in any other manner), the relevant Client will notify FGI as soon as it becomes aware of the same and within two Business Days of becoming aware of the same:
(i)
transfer the full amount of such payment to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as applicable, and (pending such transfer) hold the full amount of such payment on trust for FGI;
(ii)
not otherwise deal with or dispose of such payment; and
(iii)
direct the relevant Customer to make all future payments in respect of Receivables (other than Receivables that have been repurchased by a Client) to the Trust Account or as directed by FGI, as applicable.
(c)
Each Client will immediately pass to FGI or to any bank account FGI directs, any payment a Customer makes to it directly in respect of a Receivable (other than a Receivable that has been repurchased by a Client). Each Client agrees:
(i)
if it is necessary for any cheque or other payment instrument to be endorsed to enable FGI to receive payment, to endorse the same prior to its delivery to FGI and not to xxxx or endorse any such cheque or other payment instrument other than in favour of FGI (or as FGI may direct);
(ii)
to hold any such payment it receives for a Receivable on trust for FGI until FGI receives it; and
(iii)
not to bank any such payment for its own account.
(d)
If a Customer makes a general payment either to FGI or to a Client without specifying which debts are covered by it then FGI shall apply it firstly against any Outstanding Receivables owed by that Customer in chronological order, secondly against the discharge of the Clients’ liability to FGI, if any, whether arising under this Deed or otherwise, and thirdly, any balance shall be paid as the relevant Client wishes.

11.3
Credit notes
(a)
No Client shall accept returns or shall grant allowances, discounts, deductions or credits in excess of the Permitted Dilution Percentage to any Customer without the prior written consent of FGI.
(b)
For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of each credit note, return, allowance or discount notified to and approved by FGI under clause 11.3(a) above will be treated as a reduction to the Purchase Price of the Receivable to which it relates and will be accounted for in accordance with clause 14.1(a)(iii) (Provision of information) below.
(c)
FGI shall keep a permanent record on the Reserve Account showing all sums payable or paid to each Client, all payments received in relation to Receivables and all fees, expenses and other sums payable or paid by each Client under this Deed or otherwise. A copy of the Reserve Account shall be taken as undisputed evidence of the matters stated in it at the date of its preparation unless within thirty (30) Business Days from the publication of the same, the relevant Client notifies FGI in writing of any discrepancy.
12
ONLINE SERVICES
12.1
FGI shall provide each Client with online access via a secured website to information on the Receivables, the Purchase and Prepayment Statement and a reconciliation of the relationship relating to billing, collection and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution, interest and fees payable hereunder, and mailing of statements in the ordinary course of FGI's business.
12.2
All of the information provided on the online services shall be in a format, and in such detail, as FGI, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate. In the event of any dispute, FGI's books and records shall be admissible in evidence, without objection, as prima facie evidence of the status of the Receivables, any non-vesting Receivables and the Reserve Account.
12.3
Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by FGI to a Client, if any, and all online information shall (except as to manifest error) be deemed conclusive evidence and binding for the purposes of this Deed and prima facie evidence in any Dispute.
12.4
FGI's failure to provide, or a Client's failure to receive, such online access shall not relieve any Client of any of its obligations under this Deed or the responsibility of that Client to request statements of account. If the relevant Client does not make such a request, it shall be deemed to have agreed the amounts set out in FGI's records.
13
CREDIT BALANCES
If FGI's records show that a credit balance appears on any account with a Customer, whether as a result of the issue of a credit note by a Client or otherwise, FGI may (and each Client authorises FGI to) pay that credit balance to the relevant Customer and debit it to the Reserve Account. Pending any such payment by FGI to the relevant

30



Customer, that credit balance will constitute a contingent liability of the relevant Client to FGI.

25.6
Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Deed, no variation of this Deed shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed on behalf of each Client, by a director or the company secretary and in the case of FGI, by an authorised signatory, and for the avoidance of doubt may not be effected by electronic communication.
25.7
If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.
25.8
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of FGI, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents, shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
25.9
Without prejudice to 25.6 any provision of a Finance Document may be amended only if FGI so agree in writing and any breach of a Finance Document may be waived before or after it occurs only if FGI so agrees in writing.

If at any time FGI makes an Advance in excess of Availability, Discount shall be increased by an amount specified by FGI and shall be debited in accordance with clause 10.2 (Discount).
