a "Reinvestment"), such that after giving effect to such application of funds,
------------
the amount of Aggregate Capital immediately after such receipt and corresponding

Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents' respective
accounts in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of the related
Purchasers, the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period and
apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) to
-----------
reduce unpaid Obligations. If such Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any
additional Collections received by the Servicer shall (i) if applicable, be
remitted to the Managing Agents' respective accounts in accordance with the
applicable Pro Rata Shares of the related Purchasers no later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago

time) to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement
Date and (ii) thereafter be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on such

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:
first, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the
-----
Fee Letter and Yield;
second, to the payment of the Servicer's reasonable out-of-pocket
------
costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and
collecting the Receivables if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not then
acting as the Servicer,
third, to the reimbursement of the Collateral Agent's and each
-----
Managing Agent's costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,
fourth, (if applicable) in reduction of the Aggregate Capital
------
fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations,

-----
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
5
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

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

the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the
aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 100%.

-------------
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.

FUNDING
Section 4.1 General Funding Provisions. Each Purchaser Interest of
--------------------------
the Financial Institutions shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche
Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof, and each Purchaser Interest of the Conduits shall accrue
Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at the CP Rate in accordance with
the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Managing
Agents of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial
-----------
Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial
Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Base Rate.
If the Financial Institutions acquire by assignment from any Conduit any
Purchaser Interest pursuant to such Conduit'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 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each
--------------
Purchaser Interest, Seller shall pay to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of
the applicable Purchasers) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest in
accordance with Article II.
----------

Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods. (a) With
---------------------------------------------
consultation from each related Managing Agent, Seller shall from time to time
request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests; provided, however, that no
-------- -------
more than fifteen (15) Tranche Periods shall be outstanding at any one time.
(b) Seller may, effective on the last day of a Tranche Period (the
"Terminating Tranche") for any Purchaser Interest, divide any such Purchaser
--------------------
Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests or 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 (subject
to the Conduits' ability to accommodate such division or combination), provided,
--------
in no event may a Purchaser Interest of the Conduits be combined with a
Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions.
Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. Seller may select
-------------------------------------
the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial
Institutions. 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 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. (a) If any Financial
---------------------------
Institution notifies its related Managing Agent that it has determined that
funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial
Institutions 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 Financial Institutions give a notice to
the Managing Agents pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution which
--------------
gave such a notice shall be obligated, at the request of Seller or such
Financial Institution's Managing Agent (on behalf of the related Conduit or
Conduits), to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another
Financial Institution or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller that is
acceptable to the Conduits and willing to participate in this Agreement through
the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial
Institution; provided that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives
--------
payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such
notifying Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing
to all of the Financial Institutions 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 Financial Institutions, and (ii) the replacement Financial
Institution otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

in strict compliance with the terms thereof and shall take all action necessary
or reasonably appropriate to enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller

Agreement, Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including, without
limitation, all steps that the Collateral Agent, any Managing Agent or any
Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller's

reasonably related to actual use;

acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote

Originator and CGSF and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets
rather than assets of the Originator or CGSF;

is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available to
satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller and of no other Person;
(J) except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the
funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with,

which the Seller alone makes deposits and from which the Seller alone (or
the Collateral Agent or Managing Agents hereunder) has the power to make
withdrawals;
(K) pay all of Seller's operating expenses, if any, from the Seller's

(L) operate its business and activities such that: it does not engage
in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or
indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other
undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by
this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreements; and does not create,
incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other
liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of
the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or
similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence
of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as
expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreements, to make payment

--------------
this Agreement;

Agreement or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each
case) the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and each Managing
Agent;

substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create,
have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.

that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP as counsel for Seller, in connection with

substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such
opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

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 8.3, 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.
22
(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 a Trigger 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.
(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 a Trigger
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 a Trigger 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, CGSF 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 8.3 Collection Notices. The Collateral Agent is authorized
------------------
at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver
to the Collection Banks the
23
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 a Trigger 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 8.4 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, CGSF 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.
Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each
-------
Managing Agent (i) on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month and at such more
frequent times as each Managing Agent shall request if an Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing, a Monthly Report 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.
Section 8.6 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 a 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 8.7 Financial Covenant. The Servicer 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.

become due prior to its stated maturity; or any such Indebtedness of any Seller
Party shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other

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

Agent or the Managing Agents to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The appointment and
authority of the Collateral Agent and the Managing Agents hereunder shall

responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Collateral Agent,
----------------------
the Managing Agents or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or

Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of
the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document
or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,

genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
31
or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent or any Managing
Agent. The Collateral Agent and the Managing Agents shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Conduits or the Required Financial Institutions or all of the
Purchasers, as applicable, as they deem appropriate and they shall first be
indemnified to their satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless and
--------
until the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent shall have received such
advice, the Collateral Agent or such Managing Agent may take or refrain from
taking any action, as the Collateral Agent or such Managing Agent shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. The Collateral Agent and
the Managing Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the related Conduits or
the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be

-------------------------------------------
Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Collateral Agent, the Managing
Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent hereafter taken,
including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral
Agent or such Managing Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent and the Managing Agents that it has and will, independently and
without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, any Managing Agent or any other
Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,

creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related
hereto or thereto.

Agent, acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent, or any Managing Agent, acting
in its capacity as a Managing Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller
Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Collateral
Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, or any Managing Agent, acting in its
capacity as a Managing Agent, and acting on behalf of the related Purchasers, in
connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the

-------------------------------------
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
32

capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the

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 Financial Institutions during such five-day period shall
appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent. If for any reason no
successor agent is appointed by the Required Financial Institutions during such
five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five-day period,

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
Section 12.1 Assignments. (a) Seller and each Financial
-----------
Institution hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by
each Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to
and obligations under this Agreement to the Financial Institutions pursuant to a
Liquidity Agreement, and upon such assignment, such Conduit shall be released
from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller and each Financial Institution
hereby agree that any assignee of the Conduits of this Agreement or all or any
of the Purchaser Interests of the Conduits shall have all of the rights and
benefits under this Agreement as if the term "Conduit" explicitly referred to
-------
such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and
benefits of the Conduits hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall
have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time,
subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 14.5 hereof, assign to one
------------
or more Persons ("Purchasing Financial Institutions") 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 VII hereto (the "Assignment
----------- ----------
Agreement") executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and
---------
33
such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Conduits in such
Financial Institution's Purchase Group shall be required prior to the
effectiveness of any such assignment. The selling Financial Institution will
consult with the Seller regarding the suitability of the Purchasing Financial
Institution prior to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 12.1(b) and, so long as the Seller's response is not unreasonably
---------------
withheld or delayed, such Financial Institution 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 Financial Institution, such Financial
Institution will accommodate the Seller's request. Each assignee of a Financial
Institution must have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group and P-1 by Xxxxx'x Investor Service, Inc. and must agree to
deliver to the Collateral Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the
Collateral Agent or the affected Conduits, an enforceability opinion in form and
substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and such Conduits. Upon delivery
of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to the
Seller), such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its
obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the
Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial
Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Financial Institution 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.
(c) Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the event that
it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group and P-1 by Xxxxx'x Investor Service, Inc. (an "Affected
--------
Financial Institution"), such Affected Financial Institution shall be obliged,
---------------------
at the request of the Conduits in such Financial Institution's Purchase Group or
the applicable Managing Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations
hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution or (y) another funding entity
nominated by such Managing Agent and acceptable to the affected Conduits, and
willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date
in the place of such Affected Financial Institution; provided that the Affected
--------
Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment
Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share of
the Capital and Yield owing to the Financial Institutions 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 Financial Institutions.
Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the
--------------
ordinary course of its business at any time, subject to the confidentiality
provisions of Section 14.5 hereof, sell to one or more Persons (each a
------------
"Participant") participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser
-----------
Interests of the Financial Institutions, its obligation to pay the applicable
Conduits its Acquisition Amounts or any other interest of such Financial
Institution hereunder. The selling Financial Institution will consult with the
Seller regarding the suitability of each Participant prior to the effectiveness
of any participation pursuant to this Section 12.2 and, so long as the Seller's
------------
response is not unreasonably withheld or delayed, such Financial Institution
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 Financial
Institution, such Financial Institution will accommodate the Seller's request.
Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating
34
interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution's rights and obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and
Seller, the Conduits, the Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in
connection with such Financial Institution's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such
Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating
interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution'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 14.1(b)(i).
------------------
Section 12.3 Pro Rata Syndication. Notwithstanding the provisions
--------------------
of Sections 12.1(b) and 12.2 above, until such time as one of the Managing
--------------- ----
Agents has syndicated $100,000,000 of the aggregate Commitments of the Financial
Institutions in its respective Purchaser Group or Purchaser Groups, as
applicable (the "Initial Syndication Completion Date"), the Seller and the
-----------------------------------
Managing Agents agree that each amount assigned pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or
---------------
participated pursuant to Section 12.2 shall be allocated to the Managing Agents
------------
in accordance with their applicable Managing Agent Percentages; provided,
--------
however, that no such allocation shall occur with respect to any assignment
-------
described in Section 12.1(c) above; provided, further, that after the Initial
--------------- -------- -------
Syndication Completion Date, each Financial Institution shall be permitted to
make assignments and sell participations in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 12.1(b) and 12.2 above without regard to the requirements in this
---------------- ----

Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial
Institutions, the Collateral Agent may, with the consent of Seller, amend this
Agreement solely to add additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder
and (ii) the Collateral Agent, the Required Financial Institutions and the
Conduits may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of
Article XI, Article XII and Section 14.13 or any other provision of this

Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such
