lawsuits filed against the CLIENT by third parties, legal proceedings initiated, any
developments which may have a negative effect on the collaterals, the CLIENT shall
notify the FACTOR immediately. The fact that the CLIENT has submitted the
required information and documents related to this article or this agreement to the
FACTOR or the FACTOR has not made any demands on this subject does not fully
or partially relieve the CLIENT from any of his obligations.
10 – The CLIENT shall provide the FACTOR information on demands exceeding
15% of MFV set by the FACTOR, continuous debt relationships started regardless of
the amount, financial situation of the demanding party and the contractual terms. In
such situations the FACTOR has the right to exclude the receivables arising from
these sales and/or rendition of services. On the other hand, regardless of the
amount, a copy of all documents (reports, loading, transportation, insurance, etc.)
related to the sales and receivables within the scope of the agreement should be
sent to the FACTOR. The fact that the receivables mentioned above have been
excluded does not mean that the FACTOR has set given a LAN and/or is liable for a
guarantee or an advance payment related to these receivables. The clause in the
final sentence of the Article (II / 9) above is also valid for the receivables within the
scope of this article.
11 – In case the goods sold are delivered to the buyer (CLIENT’s debtor) in a location
other than the company premises and the debtor does not claim all responsibility for
the goods sold, the CLIENT shall be liable for having the goods insured against all
risks and paying for the premiums and expenses by himself. With this clause
the CLIENT assigns the indemnity insurance to the FACTOR in advance. The
assignment of the insurance compensation shall not make the CLIENT liable for the
receivable by this amount only and the FACTOR is entitled to initiate legal
proceedings on the CLIENT, cash the collaterals and ask for an advance payment
and payment for all other damages. The FACTOR reserves the right to demand all
damages exceeding the limit.
12 – The CLIENT is required to provide the necessary and documents before
claiming any of his rights arising from the basic relationship with the debtor (notice,
warning, legal action, termination, etc.). In case any change, termination that may
occur during the legal transaction between the CLIENT and the debtor leads to
nonpayment or partial nonpayment or termination of the receivable assigned, the
CLIENT shall immediately return the advance payment (Financing) he/she received
for this receivable together with the factoring fee notified by the FACTOR and all its
interests and accessories. The CLIENT may not claim back any fees, interest,
expenses or commissions he has paid related to this receivable or avoid their
payment.
13 - The provisions of Article (II/12) shall apply in case the CLIENT cannot resolve
the disputes between himself and his debtor, which may result in nonpayment or
even partial nonpayment of the receivables or delays in payment or in case it
becomes clear that the resolution of these disputes will be later than the payment
date. On the other hand the CLIENT may not sign new agreements or renew
agreements with his debtor which delay or affect the payments negatively.
14 – Provided that the provisions of Section III are reserved and no LAN is given, the
CLIENT is obliged to take over all partially paid or unpaid receivables for any reason
within 30 days of their term and return all financing payments and accessories for
these receivables. Returns are made in line with the provisions of Article
(II/12). Reassignment of receivables is performed with a return receipt issued by the
FACTOR. Unless separately agreed otherwise for each receivable by the parties, the
FACTOR is not obligated to send a notice, warning or a lodge a protest to the debtor
or initiate legal proceedings and /or file a suit against the debtor. The FACTOR is not
obligated to follow up or denounce any demands or transactions including all pleas
and appeals, responses, measures taken against him by the debtor related to the
basic relationship or receivables. The CLIENT does not have the right under any
circumstances to make such demands from the FACTOR or file a lawsuit for such
reasons. This disclaimer of the CLIENT is applicable in situations where the
exercising of rights are subjected to a limited time period.
15 – In situations where the assigned receivable has not been paid, the FACTOR
may take responsibility for proceedings and collection through the judicial organs and
/ or by enforcement only, depending on what has been decided by the parties for
each of case separately. Even in such situations, the CLIENT may not demand
anything from the FACTOR claiming that the receivable has not been pursued
appropriately. The CLIENT is liable to pay all costs related to the follow up and
collection of receivables and the collection fee accrued as per the receivable amount
and all accessories. The payment of this interest and fees does not depend on the
condition of successful follow up and collection. If a suit has been filed against the
CLIENT or legal proceedings are being pursued, this article’s provisions do not
necessitate the postponement of the CLIENT’s return of the advance payment and
the payment of the factoring fee accrued as per the receivable, the interest expense
and commission claims. The FACTOR may immediately request the said claims from
the CLIENT. The amount collected from the debtor as a result of litigation or legal
proceedings will be deducted on the CLIENT's other debts. For the uncollected or
partially collected receivables the CLIENT’s responsibilities continue the same way.
16 – In case the CLIENT makes sales agreements such as agreements with payment
in installments or retention of title, upon request the CLIENT is obliged to issue a
declaration of intention for transferring and assigning all legal and contractual rights
to the FACTOR, carry out the legal transactions and if necessary assign the mediate
possession and ownership of the goods to the FACTOR.

FACTOR. CLIENT’s such acts or any conflicting acts with the rule of honesty in the
agreement shall be deemed as heavy violation of the agreement.
18 – The FACTOR agrees to provide factoring services to the CLIENT for the
receivables assigned as per the conditions below, the appendices and the
amendments of this agreement.
19 – The FACTOR shall determine a DTV for each debtor declared by the client and
notify the CLIENT in writing. Once the receivables arise (automatic assignment to the
FACTOR as per the conditions of this agreement) for the sale of merchandise and/or
the rendition of services by the CLIENT to a debtor with a DTV allocated and the
documents have been delivered, the FACTOR may offer advance payment
(Financing) at a rate to be determined by the FACTOR. It is the FACTOR’s sole
discretion to allocate or not allocate an advance payment and the CLIENT does not
have the right to demand an advance payment (Financing) due to a gap in the MFV
or the DTV. The DTV set for the debtor may not be exceeded under any
circumstances. If the receivables assigned exceed the DTV, an advance payment
shall not be available for the exceeding amount. If the debtor pays for the
receivables, the same ratio of financing can be obtained for the debtor trading
volume made available by this transaction. If an advance payment (Financing) has
not been provided for the receivable assigned to the FACTOR, this indicates that the
factoring services are only being used for collection purposes. These types of
receivables are also subject to the same provisions in this agreement. However
advance payment (Financing) is not provided.
20 –Receivables exceeding the DTV, collected receivable balances and all accrued
or to be accrued receivables in favor of the CLIENT, constitute the CLIENT’s
collateral to the FACTOR for his current debts and liabilities arising from this
agreement or for any other reason. The FACTOR may deduct these from the
CLIENT’s debts or exchange them and he also has the right to block them due the
potential risks related to the CLIENT.
21 – The FACTOR is entitled to the right of nonpayment in situations such as one of
the debtors having difficulty in repayment, delay in payment, defect claim, force
majeure or exceptional circumstances even if the DTV has limit available. The
FACTOR is not required to investigate the legitimacy of the claims or notify the
CLIENT. In case there is a dispute related to the basic relationship between the
CLIENT and the debtor, the FACTOR may avoid payment and can freely assign back
the said receivables at any time. The provisions of Articles (II/11) and (II/12) shall
apply in such circumstances.
22 – The fact that a DTV has been assigned by the FACTOR to the borrowers and no
advance payment (Financing) has been made does not imply that the CLIENT has
been given a LAN.
23 – Independent from the number of debtors and the DTV assigned, the FACTOR
shall not provide any advance payment (Financing) to the CLIENT for assignments
exceeding the MFV set and the exceeding amount. In such cases the CLIENT may
not demand an advance payment (Financing) on the basis that there is a DTV gap on
certain debtor(s).
24 –The FACTOR records the receivables assigned and the advance payments
(financing) made if necessary separately and correlatively for each debtor and the
CLIENT. The calculation errors in these records do not constitute a right for the
CLIENT. If requested by the CLIENT, the advance payments (financing) solely at the
FACTOR’s discretion, can be made to a bank account opened at a bank of the
CLIENT's choice. The factoring fee set by the FACTOR as per the advance
payments (financing) interest made to the CLIENT, charges, commissions etc. unless agreed otherwise- accrues and is assigned on a monthly basis.
25 – The CLIENT agrees in advance that all the factoring operations within the scope
of this agreement constitute a whole, the calculations between the parties shall be
executed as per the of international accounting standards and in a current account
style as per the factoring activities, the cost of securities, other means of payment
and the receivables assigned records shall only be deemed as occurred on the
current account once they have been collected, even in case the guarantee
provisions are applied, the guarantee is removed or forfeited, the fund account in
use, in its own currency, constitutes the advance payment (Financing) provided.
Additionally the parties both agree that interest, fee and commissions notified by the
FACTOR will be applied to the items to be recorded in the accounts due to the
factoring agreement such as advance payment (financing), costs, bank charges,
interest, commissions, as per the rates decided when these items arise; in case the
receivables are not paid on their maturity date, the FACTOR reserves the right to
demand the receivables with their accessories without being bound by any time
periods as per the provisions of this agreement; apart from these situations the
current account balance (although not compulsory) can be issued and sent to the
CLIENT every month corresponding to a fiscal period, provided that the provisions of
Article VII/1 of this agreement are reserved, the account balance shall be finalized if
there are no appeals in due form and CLIENT’s appeal shall be void if the errors of
fact the appeal is based on have not been reported with a justification. In case there
is a dispute over the receivable goods and documents or any other matter, the
FACTOR is entitled to follow these receivables in a separate account. However, the
fact that some receivables have been tracked in separate accounts does not imply
that the factoring transactions do not constitute a whole.
26 – The appointed transaction volumes of which the CLIENT has been be notified in
written form, advance payment (financing) rates, commissions, guarantee fees,
charges and interest rates can be changed unrestrainedly at any time by the
FACTOR. For the receivables not paid at their due date, additional commissions shall
also accrue until the payment has been made in full.
27 – The FACTOR is not obligated to provide the CLIENT advance payments
(financing), solely at the FACTOR’s discretion, which are specified in terms of the
receivables assigned or the trading volume set by the FACTOR. The FACTOR may
change the currency of the payment at his own discretion. Advance payments in
Turkish lira can be converted into any other currency at FACTOR’s discretion or the
trading volume in Turkish Lira can be indexed to a foreign currency. The FACTOR
reserves this right for the financing (advance payments) previously made available,
and in case this right is used, all the necessary changes shall be made each time in
the accounts and the foreign currency losses due to this transaction shall be
collected from the CLIENT. The CLIENT accepts and declares that he/she may not
make a claim from the FACTOR on the basis of foreign currency losses or
commissions etc. and waives irrevocably and in advance all his claims related to
these issues.
28 – Collections from the debtors shall be assigned for the advance payments
(financing) made and the CLIENT's other debts. The FACTOR reserves the right to
determine priorities in terms of the receivables the payments shall be deducted from.
29 – The CLIENT accepts that the FACTOR shall not be held liable for any damages
related to the parties assisting the FACTOR for the execution of this agreement, the
FACTOR’s personnel and all means of transportation used by the FACTOR (such as
PTT, DHL, TNT, Courier and Cargo etc.) and accepts and declares that he waives
irrevocably and in advance all his claims and rights to file a suit for these reasons
under any circumstances.
III-GUARANTEE PROVISIONS
1 – If the FACTOR warrants certain receivables and/or debtors in written form with a
LAN, the CLIENT shall not be responsible in case the debtor faces a payment

third parties the FACTOR has based the LAN on determined and designated a longer
period of time for this issue, then that period shall be applied.

related to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the debtor on the maturity date only, can

amounts he provided to the CLIENT or remove the guarantee at his own discretion.

bankruptcy of the debtor. If the receivable is not collected on the maturity date due to

scope of the guarantee.
6 – The FACTOR may allocate the collaterals provided by the CLIENT, or the
debtor’s collaterals, any receivables exceeding DTV regardless of whichever debtor it

insolvency, or if he faces payment difficulties or starts a relationship with his debtor
about a receivable for which a LAN was issued, if he receives collaterals, payment or
payment instruments after assigning the receivables, performs direct sales to the
same debtor, issues an invoice, if in case of export/import factoring he performs sales
to the same debtor through other factoring companies, issues an invoice or
facilitates the removal of the correspondent’s guarantee for any reason, all
guarantees given to the CLIENT are automatically retroactively void without being
subject to a specific LAN. In case the CLIENT does not submit original copies the
invoice(s) he issued to the debtor by the latest within 5 days after the issue date, all

again should be sent by the latest 10 days after the request is made the guarantees
are automatically retroactively void.
7 – In case a payment was made to the CLIENT as part of the factoring guarantee
but later it is revealed that the receivable is excluded from the guarantee or the
factoring guarantee is void, the CLIENT is entitled to return the guarantee payments

receivables, enter a peace agreement into force, however this legal proceeding
initiated by the correspondent factor and the peace agreements entering into force do
not pose an obstacle against the payment of the receivables arising from this

receivable amount paid to him. A court order or an order from an official authority is
not obligatory for the implementation of this provision; a peace agreement made as

damages is sufficient. CLIENT's liability to return is not limited to a time period.
