2.9. The definition of “CP Rate” appearing in Exhibit I to the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“CP Rate” means, (x) with respect to any Conduit Purchaser administered or managed by JPMorgan Chase for any Tranche Period, the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate in respect of each day during such Tranche Period; and (y) with respect to any other Conduit Purchaser for any Tranche Period, the per annum rate equivalent to the weighted average cost (as determined by the related Managing Agent and which shall include commissions of placement agents and dealers, incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to Pooled Commercial Paper maturing on dates other than those on which corresponding funds are received by such Conduit Purchaser, other borrowings by such Conduit Purchaser (other than under any commercial paper program support agreement) and any other costs associated with the issuance of Pooled Commercial Paper) of or related to the issuance of Pooled Commercial Paper that are allocated, in whole or in part, by such Conduit Purchaser or its Managing Agent to fund or maintain its Purchaser Interests during such Tranche Period; provided, however, that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP Rate” for such Conduit Purchaser for such Purchaser Interest for such Tranche Period, such Conduit Purchaser shall for such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum.
2.10. The definition of “Facility Termination Date” appearing in Exhibit I to the Agreement is amended by deleting the reference to “May 16, 2012” therein and substituting the date “May 15, 2013” therefor.

“Net Worth” means (a) the sum of (i) capital stock, (ii) additional paid in capital, (iii) retained earnings (or minus accumulated deficits) and (iv) accumulated other comprehensive income, minus (b) treasury stock, in each case, of the Originator and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles on such date.
2.12. Exhibit I to the Agreement is amended by adding the following new defined term in the appropriate alphabetical order therein:
“Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the thirty (30) day London-Interbank Offered Rate appearing on the Bloomberg BBAM (British Bankers Association) Page (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by JPMorgan Chase, as Managing Agent, from time to time in accordance with its customary practices for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to U.S. Dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day or, if such day is not a LIBO Business Day, the immediately preceding LIBO Business Day. In the event that such rate is not available on any day at such time for any reason, then the “Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be the rate at which thirty (30) day U.S. Dollar deposits of $5,000,000 are offered by the principal London office of JPMorgan Chase in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
3
such day; and if JPMorgan Chase, as Managing Agent, is for any reason unable to determine the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate in the foregoing manner or has determined in good faith that the Daily/ 30 Day LIBOR Rate determined in such manner does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring, funding or maintaining a Purchaser Interest, the Daily/30 Day LIBOR Rate for such day shall be the Base Rate.
2.13. Schedule A to the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Annex I to this Amendment.
SECTION 3. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof when, and only when, (a) the Collateral Agent shall have received executed counterparts of this Amendment from the parties hereto, and (b) each Managing Agent (or, with respect to PNC Bank, National Association, to PNC Capital Markets LLC), shall have received payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on Schedule A to the Fee Letter, a one-time, nonrefundable fully earned upfront fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.05% and (ii) the Purchaser Group Limit of its related Purchaser Group on the date hereof for the account of the Purchasers in its related Purchaser Group.
SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Seller and the Servicer. Each of the Seller and the Servicer represents and warrants as to itself as follows:

4

(a) Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of (x) the Purchasers: (A) the Termination Percentage of Collections and Deemed Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Committed Purchaser, (B) an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Obligations, (C) an amount equal to the Aggregate Reduction, if any, to be effected pursuant to Section 1.3 and (y) the Servicer, amounts owing to the Servicer under Section 2.1 and (ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Committed Purchasers) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt.
(b) On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts the amounts set aside since the immediately preceding Settlement Date that have not been applied to pay Yield or subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce due but unpaid Obligations in the order specified in Section 2.4 and second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers, applied ratably to each Terminating Committed Purchaser according to the respective Capital of such Terminating Committed Purchasers. If such Capital and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by the Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date, applied ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of each such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date. In the event that, pursuant to Section 1.3, an Aggregate Reduction is to take place on a date other than a Settlement Date, on the date of such Aggregate Reduction, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts (ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of the related Purchaser Group), out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 2.2(a), an amount equal to such Aggregate Reduction to be applied in accordance with Section 1.3.

On the Amortization Date and each date thereafter, (i) the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts, in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares, the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) each Managing Agent shall apply such amounts to reduce the Aggregate Capital and any other Aggregate Unpaids due and payable to the related Purchaser Group.
Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer shall distribute funds:
(i) first, to the payment of the Servicer’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is then acting as Servicer and no Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, or if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the Servicer;
4
(ii) second, to the reimbursement of the Collateral Agent’s and each Managing Agent’s costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement;
(iii) third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter and all accrued and unpaid Yield;
(iv) fourth, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination Percentage);
(v) fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations and Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee; provided that when the Seller or one of its Affiliates is acting as the Servicer, such Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, will not be paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations; and
(vi) sixth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to the Seller.
Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.
Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Collateral Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.
Section 2.6 Seller Interest. Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to the Managing Agents, within one Business Day, an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 100%.
Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller shall have the right (after providing written notice to the Managing Agents in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at any time following the reduction of the Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE III
FUNDING
Section 3.1 General Funding Provisions. Subject to Section 3.5 hereof, (a) each Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchasers in a CP Funding Purchaser Group shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate, (b) each Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchasers in a Bank Funding Purchaser Group shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at the LIBO Rate and (c) each Purchaser Interest directly or indirectly funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper shall accrue Yield for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding at the CP Rate, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Managing Agents of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 3.4, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Committed Purchasers in a CP Funding Purchaser Group pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Base Rate. If any Committed Purchaser in a CP Funding Purchaser Group acquires by assignment from any Conduit Purchaser any Purchaser Interest pursuant to such Conduit Purchaser’s respective Liquidity Agreement, each Purchaser Interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.
Section 3.2 Yield Payments. On each Monthly Settlement Date, Seller shall pay to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers), an aggregate amount equal to (i) the accrued and unpaid Yield with respect to each Purchaser Interest for the immediately preceding Accrual Period, if Yield for such Purchaser Interest is calculated on the basis of the CP Rate, and (ii) the accrued and unpaid Yield with respect to each Purchaser Interest for the most recently ended Tranche Period for such Purchaser Interest, if Yield for such Purchaser Interest is calculated on the basis of any Discount Rate other than the CP Rate, in each case, in accordance with Article III.
Section 3.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods for Committed Purchasers in CP Funding Purchaser Groups.
(a) With consultation from (and approval by) each related Managing Agent, Seller shall from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in CP Funding Purchaser Groups; provided, however, that no more than fifteen (15) Tranche Periods shall be outstanding at any one time and Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.
(b) Seller or a Managing Agent, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche of a Committed Purchaser in a CP Funding Purchaser Group: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests which have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests which either have a Terminating Tranche ending on such day or are newly created on such day, provided, in no event may a Purchaser Interest of a Conduit Purchaser be combined with a Purchaser Interest of a Committed Purchaser.
Section 3.4 Discount Rates of Committed Purchasers in CP Funding Purchaser Groups. Seller may select the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Committed Purchasers in CP Funding Purchaser Groups. Seller shall by 12:00 noon (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Base Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give each related Managing Agent irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche.

Section 3.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.
(a) If any Committed Purchaser notifies its related Managing Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at such LIBO Rate, then such Managing Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent and shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the Base Rate for any Purchaser Interest accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate.
(b) If less than all of the Committed Purchasers give a notice to the Managing Agents pursuant to Section 3.5(a), each Committed Purchaser which gave such a notice shall be obligated, at the request of Seller or such Committed Purchaser’s Managing Agent (on behalf of the related Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers), to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed Purchaser that is acceptable to such related Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller that is acceptable to such Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Facility Termination Date in the place of such notifying Committed Purchaser; provided that (i) the notifying Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers, and (ii) the replacement Committed Purchaser otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 11.1(b).

(p) Not an Investment Company. Such Seller Party is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.
(q) Compliance with Law. Such Seller Party has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(w) Accounting. Such Seller Party treats the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement as sales and/or capital contributions, for all purposes, including, without limitation, accounting purposes, notwithstanding the fact that the consolidated financial statements of McKesson and the Seller are prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as a result of the consolidation required by GAAP, the transfers shall be reflected as a financing by McKesson in its consolidated financial statements, and such Seller Party (i) has made appropriate notations in any such consolidated financial statements (or in the accompanying notes) to indicate that the Seller is a separate legal entity from McKesson and to indicate that the assets and credit of the Seller is not available to satisfy the debts and obligations of McKesson and (ii) the assets of Seller are listed separately on any balance sheet of such Seller Party prepared on a standalone basis.
(x) Compliance with Representations. On and as of the date of each purchase of a Purchaser Interest hereunder and the date of each Reinvestment hereunder, each Seller Party hereby represents and warrants that all of the other representations and warranties made by it set forth in this Section 4.1 are true and correct on and as of the date of such purchase or Reinvestment (and after giving effect to such purchase or Reinvestment) as though made on and as of each such date (except where such representation or warranty relates to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date).

This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Committed Purchaser.
11

(O) maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary;

ARTICLE VII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
Section 7.1 Designation of Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 7.1. McKesson is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Collateral Agent may at any time designate as Servicer any Person to succeed McKesson or any successor Servicer.
20
(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Required Committed Purchasers, McKesson shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Seller or another Affiliate of McKesson and (ii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Seller shall not be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by McKesson. If at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Collateral Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than McKesson or an Affiliate of McKesson, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by McKesson or another Affiliate of McKesson to Seller may, at the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Collateral Agent to McKesson and to Seller.
(c) So long as the Servicer is McKesson or an Affiliate of McKesson, (i) McKesson shall be and remain primarily liable to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder; (ii) the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with McKesson in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder; and (iii) the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than McKesson in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. McKesson, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 7.2 Duties of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.
(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause a Collection Account Agreement to be in effect at all times with respect to each Collection Account. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Collateral Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 7.3, the Collateral Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Collateral Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.
(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Article II; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall require the Servicer to segregate Collections on a daily basis from its other funds. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Collateral Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.
21
(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event deliver or make available to the Collateral Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Collateral Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.
(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Originator or Seller shall, except as reasonably identified by the Servicer as not constituting a Collection, as otherwise specified by such Obligor, as otherwise required by contract or law or unless otherwise instructed by the Collateral Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 7.3 Collection Notices. The Collateral Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Collateral Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, Seller hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and (ii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Collateral Agent rather than Seller. Following the Amortization Date, Seller hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security.
Section 7.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, the Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.
22
Section 7.5 Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each Managing Agent (a) during a Level 1 Ratings Period, a Monthly Report on each Monthly Reporting Date; (b) during a Level 2 Ratings Period, a Monthly Report on each Monthly Reporting Date and a Weekly Report on each Weekly Reporting Date and (c) during a Level 3 Ratings Period, a Monthly Report on each Monthly Reporting Date and a Daily Report on each Business Day, in each case, accompanied by, if the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables; provided, that if an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall prepare and forward Monthly Reports, Weekly Reports and Daily Reports to each Managing Agent at such times as each Managing Agent shall request.
Section 7.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of McKesson’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as McKesson shall continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, the Seller shall pay over to McKesson on each Monthly Settlement Date, in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article II, a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to (i) one percent (1%) of the average daily Net Receivables Balance during the preceding Collection Period, times (ii) 1/12, as compensation for its servicing activities.
Section 7.7 Financial Covenant. McKesson agrees that it will, as of the end of each calendar month, maintain a ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization of not greater than 0.565 to 1.00.

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Indemnities by the Seller Parties. (a) Without limiting any other rights that the Collateral Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, (A) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and each Purchaser and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the Receivables, and (B) the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of any breach by the Servicer (whether in its capacity as Servicer or in its capacity as Originator) of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under the preceding clauses (A) and (B):
(w) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;
(x) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor;
(y) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections; or
(z) any claim by any Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any Seller Party for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this Agreement.
25
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Seller shall indemnify the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agent and the Purchasers for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, subject to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph, but otherwise regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Seller or the Servicer) relating to or resulting from:
(i) any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or the Originator (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;
(ii) the failure by any Seller, the Servicer or the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of the Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;
(iii) any failure of Seller, the Servicer or the Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
(iv) any products liability, personal injury, damage or similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Contract;
(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;
(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;
(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of a purchase, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Servicer or the Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

26
(xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first priority undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;
(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;
(xiii) any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable; and
(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for the purposes of determining Indemnified Amounts owing under this Section 9.1, any representation, warranty or covenant qualified by materiality or the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect shall not be so qualified.
Section 9.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) If any Regulatory Change, except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 9.1, (i) subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement (except the reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Funding Agreement and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under this Agreement or any other Funding Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it then, within forty five (45) days following demand therefor by the Collateral Agent or the relevant Managing Agent, Seller shall pay, as set forth in Section 9.2(b), such amounts charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction; provided, that (x) Seller shall only be liable for amounts in respect of increased costs or reduced returns for the period of up to ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such demand was made, (y) such Funding Source shall have applied consistent return metrics to other similarly situated borrowers or obligors (after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and relationship) with respect to such increased costs or reduced returns and (z) to the extent that any Funding Agreement described in this Section 9.2(a) covers facilities in addition to this Agreement, each Conduit Purchaser or Funding Source, as the case may be, shall allocate the liability for any such increased costs or reductions among Seller and other Persons with
27
whom such Conduit Purchaser or Funding Source, as the case may be, has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or finance receivables and other financial assets (“Other Customers”), and Seller shall not be liable for any such increased costs or reductions that are attributable to any Other Customer. The term “Regulatory Change” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy), or any change therein, by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (each, a “Regulatory Authority”), after the date hereof, (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Regulatory Authority, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof by any such Regulatory Authority, or (iii) the compliance, application or implementation, whether commenced prior to or after the date hereof, by any Funding Source with: (a) the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009 (the “FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines”); (b) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Xxxx Xxxxx Act”); (c) the revised Basel Accord prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as set out in the publication titled: “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards: a Revised Framework,” as updated from time to time (“Basel II”); or (d) or any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations, requests or directives from any Regulatory Authority relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Basel II (whether or not having the force of law).
(b) A certificate of the applicable Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent on its behalf) claiming compensation under Section 9.2(a) shall be sent to Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such certificate (i) sets forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts payable to such Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 9.2, (ii) explains the methodology used to determine such amount and (iii) states that such amount is consistent with return metrics applied in determining amounts that such Funding Source has required other similarly situated borrowers or obligors (after consideration of facility pricing, structure, usage patterns, capital treatment and relationship) to pay with respect to such increased costs or reduced returns. The Seller shall pay such Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent on its behalf) the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.
(c) Each Funding Source subject to any Regulatory Change giving rise to a demand pursuant to Section 9.2(a), at the request of Seller, shall assign pursuant to Section 11.1(b) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) another Funding Source in such Funding Source’s Purchaser Group, which is not subject to a Regulatory Change or Consolidation Event, and the Conduit Purchasers in such Purchaser Group shall consent to such assignment (provided that such assignee meets the requirements of Section 11.1(b)), or (ii) another financial institution selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent.
(d) If any Funding Source (A) has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Change appearing in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.2, and (B) such Funding Source reasonably determines, following consultation with Seller, that having the facility evidenced by this Agreement publicly rated by two credit rating agencies (or, if the applicable Funding Source or its related Managing Agent reasonably determines, following consultation with Seller, that the rating of a single credit rating agency is sufficient to achieve the same effect, by one credit rating agency) would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Funding Source to be material, then, unless the facility evidenced by this Agreement already has been publicly rated by one or more credit rating agencies, such Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent)
28
shall provide written notice to the Seller and the Servicer that such Funding Source intends to request such public rating(s) of this facility from two credit rating agencies (or one credit rating agency, as applicable) selected by such Funding Source and acceptable to the Seller in its sole discretion (the “Required Rating(s)”). The Seller and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating(s), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable), either directly or through distribution to the Collateral Agent or such Funding Source (or its related Managing Agent), any information (subject to the agreement of each applicable credit rating agency to maintain the confidentiality of any information so provided which relates to any Obligor) requested by such credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating(s); provided that neither failure to obtain the Required Rating(s) nor failure to have the facility rated (to the extent that Seller has acted in good faith to attempt to obtain such rating) shall constitute an Event of Default or early amortization event. The requesting Funding Source shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for providing the rating(s) and Seller shall pay all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agencies (or credit rating agency, as applicable) for their continued monitoring of the rating(s). Nothing in this Section 9.2(d) shall preclude any Funding Source from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating(s) shall have been obtained, or shall require any Funding Source to obtain any ratings on the facility evidenced by this Agreement prior to demanding any such compensation from the Seller; provided, however, in demanding such compensation the applicable Funding Source shall take into account and give effect to any reduction in amounts payable under Section 9.2(a) due to the Required Rating(s) having been obtained.
Section 9.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the Conduit Purchasers on demand all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, all rating agency fees, costs and expenses incurred by any Conduit Purchaser or Managing Agent, the cost of the Conduit Purchasers’ auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent (which such counsel may be employees of the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Collateral Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller shall pay to the Collateral Agent or the relevant Managing Agent, within ten (10) days following demand therefor, any and all costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.
Section 9.4 Withholding Tax Exemption.
(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any amount is payable hereunder for the account of any Purchaser, each Purchaser that is not a “United States person” for United States federal income tax purposes agrees that it will deliver to each of Seller and the related Purchaser Group Managing Agent two duly completed and originally executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8IMY with all necessary attachments or applicable successor forms, certifying in each case that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each such Purchaser further undertakes to deliver to each of Seller and the related Managing Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
29
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Seller or the related Managing Agent, in each case certifying that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless any change in any treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which prevents such Purchaser from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Purchaser advises Seller and the related Managing Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
(b) Each Purchaser that is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent harmless in respect of any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of, and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payments hereunder to such Purchaser may be subject to deduction or withholding without indemnification by Seller for any United States federal income taxes, penalties, interest and other costs and losses incurred or payable by Seller, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of, (i) such Purchaser’s failure to submit any form that is required pursuant to this Section 9.4 or (ii) Seller’s, any Managing Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s reliance on any form that such Purchaser has provided pursuant to this Section 9.4 that is determined to be inaccurate in any material respect.

The Committed Purchasers in each Purchaser Group agree to reimburse and indemnify the related Managing Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Commitments, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which such Managing Agent, acting in its capacity as Managing Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by such Managing Agent, in its capacity as Managing Agent, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Section 10.7 Agents in their Individual Capacities. The Collateral Agent, each Managing Agent and each of its respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though it were not the Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent, and the terms “Committed Purchaser,” “Purchaser,” “Committed Purchasers” and “Purchasers” shall include the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 10.8 Successor Agent. The Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent may, upon five (5) days’ notice to Seller and the Purchasers, and the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than such Collateral Agent or Managing Agent, in its individual capacity, as applicable) resign as Collateral Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable. If the Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent shall resign, then the Required Committed Purchasers, in the case of the Collateral Agent, or the Committed Purchasers of the related Purchaser Group, in the case of a Managing Agent during such five-day period shall appoint from among the Committed Purchasers, in the case of the Collateral Agent, or the Committed Purchasers of the related Purchaser Group, in the case of a Managing Agent, a successor agent. If for any reason no successor agent is appointed by the Required Committed Purchasers, in the case of the Collateral Agent, or the Committed Purchasers of the related Purchaser Group, in the case of a Managing Agent, during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five-day period, the Committed Purchasers, in the case of the Collateral Agent, and the Committed Purchasers of the related Purchaser Group, in the case of a Managing Agent, shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent or the applicable Managing Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicer (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Collateral Agent’s or Managing Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable, the retiring Collateral Agent or Managing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article X and Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent or Managing Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Agent has been granted a collateral assignment of, and security interest in, all of Seller’s rights under the Receivables Sale Agreement, including without limitation its rights as secured party or buyer with respect to assets transferred or pledged thereunder. In connection with such assignment, Seller hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to be named as secured party of record, on Seller’s behalf and as Seller’s secured party representative, with respect to all UCC financing statements filed in connection with the Receivables Sale Agreement. Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is acting as Seller’s secured party representative for purposes of perfection in being named as secured party of record on such financing statements.
ARTICLE XI
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
Section 11.1 Assignments.
(a) Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by each Conduit Purchaser of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement (i) to the related Committed Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, (ii) to any other issuer of commercial paper notes sponsored or administered by the Managing Agent of such Conduit’s Purchaser Group and with a rating of at least A-1/P-1 or (iii) to any other Person; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, such Conduit Purchaser may not make any such assignment pursuant to this clause (iii), except in the event that the circumstances described in Section 11.1(c) occur, without the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon such assignment, such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit Purchaser of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of such Conduit Purchaser shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit Purchaser” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Any Committed Purchaser may, at any time and from time to time, assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Committed Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VI hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such selling Committed Purchaser. The consent of the Conduit Purchaser or Conduit Purchasers in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, if any, shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. The selling Committed Purchaser will consult with the Seller regarding the suitability of the Purchasing Committed Purchaser prior to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.1(b) and, so long as the Seller’s response is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, such Committed Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the Seller’s preferences and, if the Seller timely solicits a commitment from an eligible assignee on terms that are not disadvantageous to the assigning Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser will accommodate the Seller’s request. Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser which is a member of a Purchaser Group which has a Conduit Purchaser as a member must have a short-term debt rating from S&P and Xxxxx’x equal to or greater than the ratings required in order to maintain the rating of the commercial paper issued by the related Conduit Purchaser (the “Required Ratings”). Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Collateral Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent shall be required.
33
(c) Each of the Committed Purchasers that is (i) not a Conduit Purchaser and (ii) a member of a Purchaser Group that has a Conduit Purchaser as a member, agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have the Required Ratings (an “Affected Committed Purchaser”), such Affected Committed Purchaser shall be obliged, at the request of the Conduit Purchasers in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group or the applicable Managing Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Committed Purchaser or (y) another funding entity nominated by such Managing Agent and acceptable to such affected Conduit Purchasers, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Facility Termination Date in the place of such Affected Committed Purchaser; provided, that the Affected Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers.
Section 11.2 Participations. Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. The selling Committed Purchaser will consult with the Seller regarding the suitability of each Participant prior to the effectiveness of any participation pursuant to this Section 11.2 and, so long as the Seller’s response is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, such Committed Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate the Seller’s preferences, and, if the Seller timely solicits a commitment from an eligible Participant on terms that are not disadvantageous to the selling Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser will accommodate the Seller’s request. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Servicer, the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. No Participant shall have rights greater than those of the related Committed Purchaser. Each Committed Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 11.1(b)(i).
Section 11.3 Additional Purchaser Groups; Joinder by Conduit Purchaser.
(a) Upon the Seller’s request, an additional Purchaser Group may be added to this Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a joinder agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (a “Joinder Agreement”) by the members of such proposed additional Purchaser Group, the Seller, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent, which execution and delivery shall not be unreasonably refused by such parties. Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a “New Conduit Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder, (ii) each Person specified therein as a “New Committed Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as a “New Managing Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder and (iv) the Purchase Limit shall be increased, if appropriate, by an amount which is equal to (x) the aggregate
34
Commitments of the New Committed Purchasers party to such Joinder Agreement. On or prior to the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, the Seller, each new Purchaser and the new Managing Agent shall enter into a Fee Letter for purposes of setting forth the fees payable to the members of such Purchaser Group in connection with this Agreement.
(b) Any Purchaser Group may add a Conduit Purchaser member at any time by the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by such proposed Conduit Purchaser, the other members of such Purchaser Group, the Seller, the Servicer and the Collateral Agent, which execution and delivery shall not be unreasonably refused by such parties. Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, each Person specified therein as a “New Conduit Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Purchaser, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder.
Section 11.4 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Seller may advise any Managing Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Facility Termination Date for an additional period not exceeding 364 days, provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. Each Managing Agent so advised by the Seller shall promptly notify each Committed Purchaser in its related Purchaser Group of any such request and each such Committed Purchaser shall notify its related Managing Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Seller of its decision to accept or decline the request for such extension no later than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date (it being understood that each Committed Purchaser may accept or decline such request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect, and the failure to so notify its Managing Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Seller shall be deemed an election not to extend by such Committed Purchaser). In the event that at least one Committed Purchaser agrees to extend the Facility Termination Date, the Seller Parties, the Collateral Agent, the extending Committed Purchasers and the applicable Managing Agent or Managing Agents shall enter into such documents as such extending Committed Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Committed Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event that any Committed Purchaser (a) declines the request to extend the Facility Termination Date or (b) is in a Purchaser Group with respect to which the Seller did not seek an extension of the Facility Termination Date (each such Committed Purchaser being referred to herein as a “Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser”), and, in the case of a Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser described in clause (a), the Commitment of such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser is not assigned to another Person in accordance with the terms of this Article XI prior to the then current Facility Termination Date, the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to each such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser’s Commitment on the then current Facility Termination Date.
Section 11.5 Terminating Committed Purchasers.
(a) Any Affected Committed Purchaser or Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser which has not assigned its rights and obligations hereunder if requested pursuant to this Article XI shall be a “Terminating Committed Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement as of the then current Facility Termination Date (or, in the case of any Affected Committed Purchaser, such earlier date as declared by the Conduit Purchaser in such Affected Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group). If an Amortization Event has occurred, and the Committed Purchasers in a Purchaser Group have voted or otherwise determined to declare an Amortization Date, but the Committed Purchasers in the other Purchaser Groups have voted or otherwise determined not to declare an Amortization Date, then the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group (and each Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group that has any Capital outstanding at such time) may, upon written notice to the Servicer, the Seller and the Collateral Agent, elect to become, and shall become, Terminating Committed Purchasers effective on the date specified in such notice, which shall be a date no less than three (3) Business Days after the date such notice is received by the Servicer, the Seller and the Collateral Agent.
35
(b) Each Terminating Committed Purchaser shall be allocated, in accordance with Section 2.2, a ratable portion of Collections according to its respective Termination Percentage from the date of its becoming a Terminating Committed Purchaser (the “Termination Date”) until such Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital shall be paid in full. Each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Committed Purchasers in accordance with Section 2.3.
(c) On the date any Committed Purchaser becomes a Terminating Committed Purchaser, the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser shall terminate and the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Committed Purchaser (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.4) all rights and obligations of such terminating Committed Purchaser hereunder shall be terminated and such terminating Committed Purchaser shall no longer be a “Committed Purchaser” hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of Article IX shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests or the Commitment held by such Terminating Committed Purchaser prior to its termination as a Committed Purchaser.

If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Section 12.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time following the occurrence of the Amortization Date resulting from an Amortization Event, the Collateral Agent may, or the Collateral Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.
(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and the Collateral Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 9.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables (which financing statements may include a description of collateral consistent with Section 12.14(b) or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to
38
ensure that the perfection of the interests of the Collateral Agent therein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets of the Debtor whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wheresoever located, including all accessions thereto and proceeds thereof” or words of similar effect) and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Any amount which any Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency but shall continue to accrue.

The agreements in this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(c) Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents, the Collateral Agent, or any Committed Purchaser, no claim may be made by any Seller Party or any other Person against any Conduit Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or any Committed Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
