RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 17, 2013 is entered into by and among:

(a) HSFR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”),

(b) Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Schein”), as initial Servicer (the Servicer together with Seller, the “Seller Parties” and each, a “Seller Party”),

(d) MUFG Bank, Ltd. (f/k/a The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), as agent for each Purchaser Group (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”).

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

1. Seller desires to transfer and assign Receivable Interests from time to time.

2. The Purchasers desire to purchase Receivable Interests from Seller from time to time.

3. MUFG Bank, Ltd. (f/k/a The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.) has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on behalf of the Purchasers and their assigns in accordance with the terms hereof.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VI), from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, Seller may request that the Purchaser Groups purchase from Seller undivided ownership interests in the Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections (which interest shall be held by the Agent on behalf of the applicable Purchasers). Each Uncommitted Purchaser may (in its sole discretion), and each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees to, make Incremental Purchases, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof before the Facility Termination Date, ratably based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Incremental Purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2 (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase); provided that

no Purchase shall be made by any Purchaser if, after giving effect thereto, either (i) if such Purchaser is a Related Committed Purchaser, such Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount would exceed its Available Commitment, (ii) the Group Invested Amount would exceed the Group Commitment for such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, (iii) the aggregate of the Receivable Interests would exceed 100% or (iv) the Aggregate Invested Amount would exceed the Maximum Purchase Limit. It is the intent of the Conduit Purchasers to fund any Purchases hereunder through the issuance of Commercial Paper. If any Purchaser funds or refinances its investment in a Receivable Interest through any means other than the issuance of Commercial Paper, in lieu of paying CP Costs on the Invested Amount pursuant to Article III hereof, Seller will pay Yield thereon at the applicable Yield Rate in accordance with Article IV hereof. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a commitment of any Conduit Purchaser to issue Commercial Paper.

(b) Seller may in its sole discretion, upon at least 45 Business Days’ written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent), call and repurchase from the Purchasers all right, title and interest in the Receivables and terminate the purchase facility in whole, or upon at least 15 Business Days’ written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit XIII (each such notice, a “Maximum Purchase Limit Decrease Notice”) to the Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent) reduce in part the unused portion of the Maximum Purchase Limit (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Invested Amount of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction) and, unless terminated in whole, not below $200,000,000); provided that each partial reduction of the Maximum Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof). Such reduction shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Seller, the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, be applied ratably to reduce the Group Commitment of each Purchaser Group.

(c) Seller may from time to time request that the Purchaser Groups increase their respective existing Group Commitments and, to the extent the existing Purchaser Groups do not consent to any such requested increase, Seller may add a new Purchaser Group as a party hereto; provided that (i) each Purchaser Agent (on behalf of the related Purchaser Group) shall, in its sole discretion, make a determination whether or not to grant any request to increase its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment and (ii) the prior written consent of the Agent shall be required for any such increase or addition (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 1.2 Incremental Purchases. Seller shall provide the Agent and each Purchaser Agent with at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (each, a “Purchase Notice”) by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Purchase Date. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000, or a larger integral multiple of $100,000, with respect to each Purchaser Group) and the Purchase Date. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the applicable Purchaser Agent will determine whether the related Uncommitted Purchaser will fund the requested Incremental Purchase. If such Uncommitted Purchaser (in its sole discretion) elects not to fund an Incremental Purchase, the Incremental Purchase shall be funded ratably by its Related Committed Purchasers (in accordance with such Related Committed Purchasers’ Available Commitments). On each Purchase Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable

conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each applicable Purchaser shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount equal to such Purchaser’s portion (based on each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share and, if applicable, such Purchaser’s Available Commitment) of the requested Purchase Price.

Section 1.3 Decreases.

(a) Optional Reductions. Seller shall provide the Agent and each Purchaser Agent with prior written irrevocable notice in the form set forth as Exhibit XII hereto (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount (a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any such proposed reduction greater than or equal to $50,000,000 and (b) at least one (1) Business Day prior to any such proposed reduction less than $50,000,000. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount shall occur, and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Invested Amount to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be applied to all Receivable Interests (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount).

(b) Mandatory Reductions. Seller shall also ensure that the aggregate of the Receivable Interests shall at no time exceed 100%. If the aggregate of the Receivable Interests exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers on or before the next Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Invested Amount (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount), such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Receivable Interests equals or is less than 100%.

Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; Maximum Purchase Limit.

(a) If on any day:

(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any credit issued for returned or repossessed goods, any shortages, any pricing adjustment, any volume rebate or any other allowance, adjustment or deduction by Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or

(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff or disputed item in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Settlement Report (for any reason other than receipt of Collections), or

(v) any of the representations or warranties of Seller with respect to any Receivable set forth in Article V were not true in all material respects when made,

then, on such day, Seller shall (I) be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i) through (iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter shall pay to the Collection Account the amount of any such Collection deemed to have been received or (II) prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, setoff the amount of such reduction or cancellation against the purchase price otherwise owed to the Applicable Originator for additional Receivables.

(b) Seller shall ensure that the Aggregate Invested Amount at no time exceeds the Maximum Purchase Limit. If at any time the Aggregate Invested Amount exceeds the Maximum Purchase Limit, Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers immediately an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Invested Amount (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount), such that after giving effect to such payment the Aggregate Invested Amount is less than or equal to the Maximum Purchase Limit.

Section 1.5 Payment Requirements and Computations. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to or for the account of any Purchaser, such amounts shall be paid to the account from time to time specified by the related Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer. All computations of CP Costs, Yield, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letters shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (other than Yield calculated at the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, which shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.6 Sharing of Payments, etc. If any Purchaser (for purpose of this Section 1.6 only, a “Recipient”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of any interest in the Receivable Interest owned by it in excess of its ratable share thereof, such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Purchasers entitled to a share of such amount participations in the percentage interests owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person entitled thereto; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

Section 1.7 Taxes.

(a) The Seller agrees that any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, other than Excluded Taxes; provided that if the Seller shall be required under applicable law to deduct any such taxes from such payments, then (i) the Seller shall make such deductions, and (ii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable law, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions the recipient of such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) The Agent, each Purchaser Agent (if other than the Agent) and each Purchaser agrees to provide, on or before the first date on which any payment is required to be made to such Person under this Agreement, (i) a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, (ii) a properly completed, duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or (iii) in the case of a Purchaser Agent (if other than the Agent) or a Purchaser, a properly completed, duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of an applicable income tax treaty.

Section 1.8 Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Seller. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Seller, the Servicer, any Purchaser, any Purchase Agent or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Any such amendment with respect to~~, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y)~~ ~~if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3)~~ ~~of the definition of~~ “~~Benchmark Replacement~~” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Seller, Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction DocumentAgent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Purchaser Agents and the Seller so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such ~~Benchmark Replacement~~amendment from Purchaser Agents comprising the Required Purchaser Agents.~~(b)~~ ~~Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary~~ ~~herein or in any other Transaction Document~~ ~~and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark~~

Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; ~~provided~~ ~~that, this~~ ~~clause (b)~~ shall not be effective unless the Agent has delivered to the Seller, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) ~~(c)~~ Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right~~, in consultation with the Seller,~~ to make ~~Benchmark Replacement~~ Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such ~~Benchmark Replacement~~ Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) ~~(d)~~ Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Seller~~, Purchasers~~ and the Purchaser Agents of ~~(i)~~ ~~any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date,~~ ~~(ii)~~ (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, ~~(iii)~~ and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement ~~Conforming Changes,~~ ~~(iv)~~ . The Agent will notify the Seller of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to ~~clause (e~~Section 4.5(d) ~~below~~ and ~~(v)~~ (y) the commencement ~~or conclusion~~ of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any ~~Purchasers~~Purchaser or the Purchaser Agents (or groups of Purchasers or Purchaser Agents) pursuant to this Section 4.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.5.

(d) ~~(e)~~ Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), ~~(i)~~ (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR ~~or LIBO~~Reference Rate) and either ~~(i)~~ (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or ~~(ii)~~ (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be ~~no longer~~ representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after

such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and ~~(ii)~~ (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either ~~(i)~~ (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or ~~(ii)~~ (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will ~~no longer~~not be representative for a Benchmark ~~(including a Benchmark Replacement)~~, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) ~~(f)~~ Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, ~~(i)~~ no ~~Purchases~~ ~~shall be funded at the LIBO Rate~~ ~~or at~~none of the Purchasers or Purchaser Agents shall allocate any Receivable Interest with respect to Purchases made during such period or reallocate any Receivable Interests allocated to any then existing Interest Period ending during such period, to a Receivable Interest for which Yield is calculated by reference to Term SOFR. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate ~~determined by reference to~~ ~~the~~ ~~LIBO Rate and (ii)~~ ~~the Yield for any outstanding portions of the Invested Amount then funded~~ ~~at the~~ ~~LIBO Rate~~ ~~or at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate shall,~~ ~~(x)~~ ~~in the case of any Invested Amount then funded at the LIBO Rate,~~ ~~on the last day of the then current Interest Period, be converted to the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to clause (ii)~~ ~~of the definition of the Alternate Base Rate, and (y)~~ in the case of any Invested Amount then funded at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, on such day, be converted to the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to clause (ii) ~~of the definition of~~based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

~~(g)~~ ~~LIBOR Notification~~. The interest rate on an Invested Amount may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“~~LIBOR~~”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“~~FCA~~”~~) publicly announced that: (a)~~ ~~immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S.~~ ~~Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S.~~ ~~Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S.~~ ~~Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA~~’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to

~~identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of~~ ~~a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election,~~ ~~Section 4.5(a)~~ ~~and~~ ~~(b)~~ ~~provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Agent does not warrant or accept~~ ~~any~~ ~~responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance~~ ~~or any other matter related to the~~ ~~LIBOR or other rates in the definition of~~ “~~LIBO Rate~~” ~~or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i)~~ ~~any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to~~ ~~Section 4.5(a)~~ or ~~(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii)~~ ~~the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to~~ ~~~~Section 4.5(c)~~), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate~~ ~~will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of,~~ ~~the LIBO Rate~~ ~~or have the same volume or liquidity as~~ ~~did the London interbank offered rate~~ ~~prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of~~ ~~any alternative, successor or~~ ~~alternative~~ ~~rate (including any Benchmark Replacement)~~ ~~and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Seller.~~

~~(h)~~ ~~Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, solely with respect to clause (3)~~ ~~of the definition of Benchmark Replacement, the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Benchmark Replacement to constitute a~~ “~~qualified rate~~” ~~within the meaning of Proposed United States Treasury Regulations Section~~ ~~1.1001-6(b).~~

Servicers’ only jurisdiction of organization is Delaware.

(d) Authorizations and Filings. The Servicer has obtained and holds in full force all authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses, exemptions or other actions by, registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any Official Body which are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the Servicer of or the compliance by the Servicer with the terms and conditions hereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof, or to ensure that the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) will have an ownership and security interest in and to the Receivables.

(e) Absence of Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement, nor the consummation by the Servicer of the transactions herein contemplated, nor the performance by the Servicer of or the compliance by the Servicer with the terms and conditions hereof will (i) violate any Law or (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under (A) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Servicer or (B) any material agreement or instrument, including, without limitation, any and all indentures, debentures, loans or other agreements to which the Servicer is a party or by which it or any of its properties (now owned or hereafter acquired) may be subject or bound, which, in any case, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Servicer or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien. The Servicer has not entered into any agreement with any Obligor prohibiting, restricting or conditioning the assignment of any portion of the Receivables.

(f) No Termination Event. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which constitutes a Termination Event.

(g) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. No information (when taken as a whole) furnished by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date as of which such information was furnished (including by omission of material information necessary to make such information not misleading); provided that, with respect to projected financial information of a general economic nature, and general industry information, the Servicer represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time.

(h) [Intentionally Omitted].

(i) No Change in Ability to Perform. Since the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder.

(j) Credit and Collection Policy. The Credit and Collection Policy has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable and related Contract and no material change to the Credit and Collection Policy has been made unless (i) the Agent has received prior written notice of such change and (ii) the Agent and the Required Purchaser Agents have consented to such change if such change could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Receivables generally or of any material portion of the Receivables.

(k) Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income and cash flows of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended, certified by BDO USA, LLP, independent accountants, or another nationally recognized firm of independent accountants, are available as a matter of public record. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at most recent fiscal quarter end and the related unaudited statements of income and cash flows of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods then ended are available as a matter of public record. The Servicer will provide on the date of such public filing or the next succeeding Business Day a certificate to the Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent), that such balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations of and consolidated cash flows of the Servicer and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP; provided that the requirement to deliver a certificate pursuant to this sentence shall not be required to the extent the Servicer publicly files a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, for the applicable period, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(l) Litigation. Except as set forth in the Servicer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in the Servicer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, in each case, most recently filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, no injunction, decree or other decision has been issued or made by any Official Body that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on a significant portion of its business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables, and, to the knowledge of the Servicer, no threat by any Person has been made to attempt to obtain any such decision (i) as to which there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination and (ii) that, if adversely determined, would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on a significant portion of its business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables. No litigation, investigation or proceeding exists or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, is threatened in writing asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, seeking to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (A) the performance of the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement, or (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any material amount of such Receivables.

(m) Insurance. The Servicer currently maintains insurance with respect to its properties and businesses and causes its Subsidiaries to maintain insurance with respect to their properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other corporations including, without limitation, workers’ compensation insurance.

(n) ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, either alone or when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of Schein and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole. Any excess of the accumulated benefit obligations under one or more Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) over the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan or Pension Plans is in an amount that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of Schein and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole.

Section 6.2 Conditions Precedent to All Purchases and Reinvestments. Each Incremental Purchase and each Reinvestment shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that (a) in the case of each such Purchase: (i) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent on or prior to the date of such Purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, all Settlement Reports as and when due under Section 8.5, and (ii) upon the Agent’s or any Purchaser Agent’s request, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Purchase an interim settlement report in substantially the form of Exhibit XI; (b) the Agent and each Purchaser Agent shall have received such other documents as it may reasonably request and (c) on each Purchase Date, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Seller that such statements are then true):

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article V are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment as though made on and as of such Purchase Date;

(ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, that will constitute a Termination Event, and no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, that would constitute an Unmatured Termination Event; and

(d) No Changes. Make any change in the character of its business, which change would materially impair the collectibility of any Receivable, without prior written consent of the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, or change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner which would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Laws unless it shall have given the Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent) at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof and unless prior thereto it shall have caused such financing statement or continuation statement to be amended or a new financing statement to be filed such that such financing statement or continuation statement would not be seriously misleading.

(e) Capital Stock. Issue any capital stock except to Schein. The Seller shall not pay any dividends to Schein if such payment would be prohibited under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Promptly upon the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or together with any other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of Schein and its ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole, Schein shall give the Seller a written notice specifying the nature thereof, what action Schein or any ERISA Affiliate has taken with respect thereto and, when known by Schein, any action taken or threatened by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the PBGC with respect thereto.

(m) Separate Corporate Existence. As long as Schein is the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall maintain its legal identity separate from the Seller and take such action to ensure that: (A) the management of the Servicer does not anticipate any need for its having to extend advances to the Seller except for those described in the Transaction Documents, if any; (B) the Servicer does not conduct its business in the name of the Seller; (C) the Servicer has a telephone number, stationery and business forms separate from those of the Seller; (D) the Servicer does not provide for its expenses and liabilities to be paid from the funds of the Seller or vice versa; (E) the Servicer is not liable for the payment of any liability of the Seller; (F) neither the assets nor the creditworthiness of the Servicer is held out as being available for the payment of any liability of the Seller; (G) the Servicer maintains an arm’s-length relationship with the Seller; and (H) assets are not transferred from the Servicer to the Seller without fair consideration or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud the creditors of either company.

The Servicer hereby authorizes such officers and independent accountants to discuss with the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, or such Person as they may designate, the affairs of the Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse the Agent and each Purchaser Agent for all reasonable and documented fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Agent and each Purchaser Agent in connection with up to one (1) such audits and visits for each per calendar year promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor; provided that following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event, the Seller shall reimburse the Agent and each Purchaser Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by or on behalf

of the Agent and each Purchaser Agent in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of written invoice therefor regardless of the number of audits or visits in such year. Subject to the requirements of applicable laws, the Agent and each Purchaser Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its respective customary procedures for handling confidential information, any non-public information supplied to it by the Servicer pursuant to any such audit or visit which is identified by the Servicer as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent.

(o) S.E.C. Filings.

(s) Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions. Policies and procedures will be maintained and enforced by or on behalf of each of the Servicer and each Originator that are designed in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to promote and achieve compliance by the Servicer and each Originator and each of their respective Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws, applicable Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 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 8.1. Xxxxxx is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent may, at any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event upon five (5) Business Days’ notice, designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Xxxxxx or any successor Servicer.

(b) The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Agent, delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each, a “Sub-Servicer”); provided that, in each such delegation, (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable to the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller and the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser shall have the right to look to the Servicer (rather than the Sub-Servicer) for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to such Sub-Servicer).

Section 8.2 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 not direct any cash or payment item other than Collections to be deposited into any Lock-Box or Collection Account. If, despite such direction, any remittances are 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 (or by it) as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the 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 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. To the extent any Collections are received directly by the Servicer, the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Secured Parties their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II.

(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 in good faith to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided 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 Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser under this Agreement.

(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser 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 Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent or any Purchaser Agent, furnish to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for each Purchaser pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the 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 Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event to deliver the Collection Notices to the Collection Banks. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts and, in connection therewith, agrees to cause each Collection Bank to modify the name on each Lock-Box and Collection Account as requested by the Agent. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled (i) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, to take such action as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller or Servicer.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, of the Agent’s rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser 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 or any Originator thereunder.

Section 8.5 Settlement Reports.

(a) The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent (with an electronic copy to each Purchaser Agent) (i) on each Settlement Reporting Date, a Settlement Report (certified by an Responsible Officer of the Servicer) and an electronic file of the data contained therein and (ii) at such times as the Agent or any Purchaser Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables; provided that, if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Agent or any Purchaser Agent may request that the Servicer deliver a Settlement Report (or a specified portion thereof) no less frequently than weekly.

(b) Upon the request of the Agent or any Purchaser Agent (but not more frequently than every quarter), the Servicer shall provide in writing to the Agent (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent) the list of Obligors under Contracts related to the Receivables including, for each Obligor added to the list, the name, address, telephone number and account number of such Obligor and if there have been changes in the name, address, telephone number or account number of any existing Obligor, the revisions shall be provided.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fee. As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, the Servicer shall be paid the Servicing Fee in arrears on each Settlement Date out of Collections.

(c) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same results from losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

(d) 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 any Purchaser of Receivables as a loan or loans by any Purchaser to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections, U.S. federal taxes attributable to such Indemnified Party’s failure to comply with Section 1.7(b) or any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”);

(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 any Purchase, the Purchased Assets or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Servicer or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If, after the date hereof, any Regulatory Change shall occur: (i) that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a 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 any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the applicable Purchaser Agent, Seller shall pay to such Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 46, Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 166 and 167, any future statements or interpretations issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any successor thereto or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Seller or any Conduit Purchaser with the assets and liabilities of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any other Funding Source, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Funding Source may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 10.2.

Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser on demand all reasonable 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, the cost of its auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller or Servicer, rating agency fees, reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a single independent legal counsel with respect thereto and with respect to providing advice as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement.

Each Purchaser Agent and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Purchaser Agents (or, in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Purchaser Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Purchaser Agents or all Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers and Purchaser Agents.

Section 11.5 Notice of Termination Events. Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such Purchaser Agent or Agent has received notice from any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, the Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its Purchasers. In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Agent), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Agent. The Agent shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Required Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchaser Agents), but until the Agent receives such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents.

Section 11.6 Non-Reliance on Agent, Purchaser Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent, the Purchaser Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, members, partners, certificateholders, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer or the Originators, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent with any information concerning the Seller, Servicer or the Originators or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, members, partners, certificateholders, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Agent in their individual capacities.

Section 11.8 Indemnification. Each Related Committed Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (but solely in its capacity as Agent) and its officers, directors, members, partners, certificateholders, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 11.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon at least five (5) days notice to the Seller and each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, resign as Agent. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Required Xxxxxxxxxx and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Section 11.10 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent hereby agrees that (x) if the Agent notifies such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent (whether or not known to such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion

thereof) was received by such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Agent to any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent under this Section 11.10(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify the Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Seller Parties hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Recourse Obligation owed by the Seller Parties; provided that this Section 11.10(c) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Recourse Obligations of the Seller Parties relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Recourse Obligations that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Seller for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Recourse Obligations under any Transaction Document. Each Uncommitted Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 11.10 shall be subject to Sections 13.5 and 13.6 and each Related Committed Purchaser shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all obligations of its related Uncommitted Purchaser under this Section 11.10.

ARTICLE XII.

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Seller Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Agent and the Purchaser Agents.

(b) Participations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided that, no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.

(c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each, a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent, any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any such assignment by Related Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Agent and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.

(d) Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Funding Source Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time transfer or grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Funding Source participating interests (or voting rights or a security interest and right of foreclosure thereon) in its portion of the Receivable Interests. In the event of any such transfer or grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Funding Source, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Provider and Funding Source of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.6.

(e) Other Assignment by Uncommitted Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Uncommitted Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Receivable Interests (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program, if any, and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Uncommitted Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person with prior notice to the other parties hereto, and upon such assignment such Uncommitted Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided that, such Uncommitted Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers (and, in the case of any assignment by an Uncommitted Purchaser that is not a Conduit Purchaser, unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller), make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) if it is a Conduit Purchaser, is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Uncommitted Purchaser and (iii) if it is a Conduit Purchaser, issues commercial paper with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and, provided, further, that no such consent of the Seller shall be required if the assignee is a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund. Any assigning Uncommitted Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Uncommitted Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Receivable Interests to its assignee. Such Uncommitted Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Receivable Interests and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Uncommitted Purchaser hereunder.

(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 that the Agent or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, or to enable the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Agent may, or the 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 Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

The Agent shall provide the Seller with copies of any such filings. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Each of the Seller Parties (A) hereby authorizes the Agent to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the signature or other authorization of such Seller Party, in such form and in such offices as the Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Agent hereunder, (B) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Agent, consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document, and (C) approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Agent in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of Seller or the Agent.
