The Company shall cause to Master Servicer to calculate the Contribution Value and report such amount in each Periodic Report, and in the absence of manifest error such amount shall be deemed to be conclusive.

The Contributor hereby appoints the Master Servicer to hold any such distributions and receipt by the Master Servicer into the Huntsman Receipts Account of any such amounts shall discharge the amounts payable to the Contributor with respect to the Contribution Value hereunder Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not distribute any amounts to the Contributor in respect of Contribution Value, a distribution to equity or otherwise if such distribution would cause a Required Retention Deficiency.

Intentionally Omitted.

No Repurchase. Subject to Section 2.06, the Contributor shall not have any right or obligation under this Agreement, by implication or otherwise, to repurchase from the Company any Receivable Assets or to rescind or otherwise retroactively effect any purchase of any Receivable Assets after the related Contribution Date; provided that the foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit the right of the Company to receive a Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payment, a Contributor Adjustment Payment or a Contributor Indemnification Payment.

From time to time the Contributor may make a Dilution Adjustment to a Contributed Receivable in accordance with this Section 2.05 and Section 6.02; provided that if the Contributor or any Originator cancels an invoice related to such.

Payments in Respect of Ineligible Receivables and Originator Indemnification Payments.

Adjustment Payment Obligation.

If such matter is not capable of being remedied or is not so remedied within said period of 30 days, the Contributor shall repurchase the relevant. Contributed Receivable from the. Company at a repurchase price (without duplication of any Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payments made pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof), equal to the original Principal Amount of such Contributed Receivable less Collections received by the Company in respect of such Contributed Receivable (the "Contributor Adjustment Payment"), which payment shall be made to the relevant Company Concentration Account in the same currency as such Contributed Receivable. Following the payment of a Contributor Adjustment Payment hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Contributor all Collections received subsequent to such repurchase with respect to such repurchased Receivable. The parties agree that if there is a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Contributor contained in Sections 4.02(a), 4.02(b), 4.02(c), 4.02(d), 4.02(e) or 4.02(f) in respect of or concerning any Contributed Receivable, the Contributor's obligation to pay the Contributor Adjustment Payment under this Section 2.06 is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty (and neither the Company nor any other person or entity having an interest in this Agreement through the Company shall be entitled to any other remedies as a consequence of any such breach).

Special Indemnification. In addition to its obligations under Section 8.02 hereunder, the Contributor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold harmless (without duplication of any Contributor Dilution Adjustment Payments made pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) the Company from any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Company in any way relating to or arising out of (i) any Contributed Receivable becoming subject to any defense, dispute, offset or counterclaim of any kind (other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the European Receivables Loan Agreement) or (ii) the Contributor breaching any covenant contained herein with respect to any Contributed Receivable and such Contributed Receivable (or a portion thereof) ceasing to be an Eligible Receivable (each of the foregoing events or circumstances being a "Contributor Indemnification Event"). The amount of such indemnification shall be equal to the original Principal Amount of such Contributed Receivable less Collections received by the Company in respect of such Contributed Receivable (the "Contributor Indemnification Payment"). Such payment shall be made to the relevant Company Concentration Account on or prior to the 10th Business Day after the day the Company requests such payment or the Contributor obtains knowledge thereof unless such Contributor Indemnification Event shall have been cured on or before such 10th Business Day; provided, however, that in the event that (x) an Originator Termination Event with respect to the Contributor has occurred and is continuing or (y) the Company shall be required to make a payment with respect to such Contributed Receivable pursuant to Section 29 of the European Receivables Loan Agreement and the Company has insufficient funds to make such a payment, the Contributor shall make such payment immediately. The Company shall have no further remedy against the Contributor in respect of such a Contributor Indemnification Event unless the Contributor fails to make a Contributor Indemnification Payment on or prior to such 10th Business Day or on such earlier day in accordance with the proviso set forth in this subsection 2.06(b). Following the payment of a Contributor Indemnification Payment, the Company shall pay to the Contributor all Collections received subsequent to such payment with respect to the Contributed Receivable in respect of which a Contributor Indemnification Payment is made.

Certain Charges. The Contributor and the Company hereby agree that late charge revenue, reversals of discounts, other fees and charges and other similar items, whenever created, accrued in respect of a Contributed Receivable shall be the property of the Company notwithstanding the occurrence of an Early Originator Termination or Early Program Termination and all Collections with respect thereto shall continue to be allocated and treated as Collections in respect of such Contributed Receivable.

Intentionally Omitted.

Power of Attorney. The Contributor authorizes each of the Company and the Collateral Agent, and hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Company and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution and with full authority in place of the Contributor, to take any and all steps in the Contributor's name and on behalf of the Contributor, that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Company or the Collateral Agent (as applicable), to collect amounts due under the Contributed Receivables, including: (a) endorsing the Contributor's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Contributed Receivables and enforcing the Receivable Assets related thereto; (b) taking any of the actions provided for under Section 7.03; and (c) enforcing the Receivable Assets, including to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Company or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) (or any designee thereof) may deemed to be necessary or desirable for the collection thereof or to enforce compliance with the other terms and conditions of, or to perform any obligations or enforce any rights of the Contributor in respect of, the Receivable Assets.
