THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 16, 2020, is by and among AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ABDC”), ASD Specialty Healthcare, LLC, a California limited liability company (“ASD Specialty”) (each of the foregoing, an “Originator” and collectively, the “Originators”), and Amerisource Receivables Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement).
This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the date hereof, that certain Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of the Original Closing Date (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), between ABDC, as the originator, and Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) all indemnification obligations of ABDC under the Original Agreement shall survive the Original Agreement, (b) all sales of Receivables and Related Security and Collections with respect thereto under the Original Agreement by ABDC to the Buyer are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall survive the Original Agreement and (c) the security interests granted by ABDC pursuant to Section 1.7 of the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the Original Agreement as security for all obligations of ABDC under the Original Agreement until such obligations have been finally and fully paid and performed. This Agreement shall not effect a novation of the obligations of the parties under the Original Agreement, but instead shall be merely a restatement and, where applicable, an amendment of the terms governing such obligations. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any Transaction Document or in any other related document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Each of the Originators now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Each of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from each Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.
Each of the Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales to Buyer by such Originator of the Receivables originated by it, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and none of the Originators nor Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to such Originator.
Following the purchase of Receivables from each Originator, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2010 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, ABDC, as initial Servicer, the various
Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”), and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrator for each Purchaser Group, or any successor administrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, (in such capacity, the “Administrator”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE
Section 1.1 Initial Contribution of Receivables. On the Original Closing Date, ABDC did contribute, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, and Buyer did accept from ABDC, Receivables originated by ABDC and existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date having an aggregate Outstanding Balance of $2,019,745,773 (the “Initial Contributed Receivables”), together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.
Section 1.2 Purchase of Receivables. (a) Effective on the date hereof (or with respect to ASD Specialty, the ASD Specialty Sale Commencement Date, if any), in consideration for the Purchase Price paid to each Originator and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by such Originator and existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) and all Receivables thereafter originated by such Originator through and including the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof Buyer shall acquire all of each Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from each Originator in accordance with Section 1.3.
(b) On the 20th day of each month hereafter (or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day thereafter) each Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit VII hereto (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Receivables sold by such Originator to Buyer during the Settlement Period then most recently ended. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.
2 | ||||||||
(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables from an Originator made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4, the sale of Receivables hereunder by each Originator is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) such Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(B)(x), xxxx its “Aged Trial Balance” with a legend in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit XIII to the Purchase Agreement, evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
Section 1.3 Payment for the Purchases. (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase from each Originator of its Receivables in existence as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) shall be payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the date hereof or, with respect to ASD Specialty, on the ASD Specialty Sale Commencement Date, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:
(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement; provided that a portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer on account of the issuance of equity having a total value of not less than the Required Capital Amount, and
(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from such Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount, and (C) fifteen percent (15%) of such Purchase Price. Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect
3 | ||||||||
thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.
The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).
(b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the applicable Originator the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the following manner:
first, by delivery to the applicable Originator or its designee of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in all of the Receivables to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;
second, by delivery to the applicable Originator or its designee of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii); and
third, solely in the case of Receivables originated by ABDC, unless the Termination Date has occurred in accordance with this Agreement, by accepting a contribution to its capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans owing to each Originator shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.
(c) From and after the Termination Date, (i) no Originator shall be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer, or (ii) ABDC shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) contribute Receivables to Buyer’s capital pursuant to clause third of Section 1.3(b).
(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables originated by such Originator during the same Calculation Period and based on the
4 | ||||||||
information contained in the Purchase Report delivered by such Originator for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.3 and any contribution of capital by ABDC to Buyer made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.
Section 1.4 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:
(a) 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 any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or
(b) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff 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
(c) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(d) 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 such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(e) any of the representations or warranties of any Originator with respect to any Receivable set forth in Article 2 were not true when made,
then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (calculated before giving effect to the applicable reduction or cancellation). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on any day, such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.
Section 1.5 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any
5 | ||||||||
amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.
Section 1.6 License of Software. (a) To the extent that any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it is non-transferable, such Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Administrator and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by such Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) the date each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
(b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Administrator and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.
Section 1.7 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(c), any sale or contribution by an Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables by each Originator hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, such Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables of such Originator which are now existing or hereafter arising, all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables purchased from such Originator together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have
6 | ||||||||
under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
Section 1.8 ASD Specialty Sale Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, ASD Specialty shall not sell to Buyer any Receivables or Related Security or Collections with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement until such time, if any, that each of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(b) the ASD Specialty Commencement Notice shall be in a separate writing and shall specify the date (such date, the “ASD Specialty Sale Commencement Date”) that ASD Specialty shall commence selling Receivables and Related Rights and Collections with respect thereto to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement along with the applicable “Initial Cutoff Date” with respect to ASD Specialty;
(c) the ASD Specialty Sale Commencement Date shall be no later than June 30, 2021;
(d) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(e) no Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

(a) Organization and Qualification. Such Originator is a corporation or limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Such Originator is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities (including transactions giving rise to Receivables), or both, requires it to be so qualified or, if not so qualified, the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations or any Receivables.
7 | ||||||||
(b) Authority. Such Originator has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, to make the sales provided for herein and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(c) Execution and Binding Effect. Each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Originator and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Originator, enforceable against such Originator in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity and will vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Buyer, a valid undivided ownership interest in the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related proceeds (the “Purchased Assets”) purported to be assigned thereby, subject to no Liens whatsoever. Upon the filing of the necessary financing statements under the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose Law governs the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interests in the Purchased Assets, the Buyer’s ownership interests in the Purchased Assets will be perfected under Article 9 of such UCC, prior to and enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from such Originator and all other Persons whatsoever (other than the Buyer and its successors and assigns).
(d) Authorizations and Filings. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Official Body is or will be necessary or, in the opinion of such Originator, advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by such Originator of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, the consummation by such Originator of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by such Originator of or the compliance by such Originator with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, or to ensure that the Buyer will have a valid undivided ownership interest in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related proceeds which is perfected and prior to all other Liens (including competing ownership interests), other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the jurisdiction of such Originator’s Location.
(e) Location of Chief Executive Office, etc. As of the date hereof: (i) such Originator’s Chief Executive Office is located at the address for notices set forth on the signature page hereof; (ii) such Originator has only the Subsidiaries and divisions listed on Exhibit II hereto; (iii) the offices where such Originator keeps all of its Records with respect to any Receivables are listed on Exhibit II hereto; and (iv) such Originator has, within the last 5 years, operated only under the trade names identified in Exhibit II hereto, and, within the last 5 years, has not changed its name, merged or consolidated with any other corporation or been the subject of any proceeding under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (Bankruptcy), except as disclosed in Exhibit II hereto.

There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables, the Related Security, Collections and proceeds. Such Originator’s jurisdiction of organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.
(g) Absence of Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by such Originator of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by such Originator of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the performance by such Originator of or the compliance by such Originator with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, 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 such Originator or (B) any agreement or instrument, including, without limitation, any and all indentures, debentures, loans or other agreements to which such Originator is a party or by which it or any of its properties (now owned or hereafter acquired) may be subject or bound, which would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of such Originator or result in rendering any debt evidenced thereby due and payable prior to its maturity or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien pursuant to the terms of any such instrument or agreement upon any property (now owned or hereafter acquired) of such Originator. Such Originator has not entered into any agreement with any Obligor prohibiting, restricting or conditioning the assignment of any portion of the Receivables.
(h) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. No information furnished in writing by a Responsible Officer of such Originator 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 of which such information was furnished (including by omission of material information necessary to make such information not misleading).
(i) No Proceedings. Except as set forth in Exhibit VIII, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of such Originator, threatened, against or affecting such Originator or its properties in or before any Official Body which (i) seeks any determination or ruling that might materially adversely affect (A) the performance by such Originator of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or any material amount of the Receivables, (ii) asserts the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the
9 | ||||||||
other Transaction Documents, or (iii) seeks to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

As of October 16, 2020, no injunction, decree or other decision has been issued or made by any Official Body that prevents, and to the knowledge of such Originator, no threat by any Person has been made to attempt to obtain any such decision that would have a material adverse impact on, the conduct by such Originator of a significant portion of such Originator’s business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related proceeds, and no litigation, investigation or proceeding exists asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents, seeking to prevent the consummation of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect (A) the performance by such Originator of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or a material amount of the Receivables. Such Originator has paid on a timely basis all of its obligations arising out of judgments, proceedings or investigations except those which it is appealing in good faith.
(l) Margin Regulations. The use of all funds acquired by such Originator under this Agreement will not conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
(m) Taxes. Such Originator has timely filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns and paid or contested any assessment received by such Originator related to such returns.
(n) Books and Records. Such Originator has indicated on its books and records (including any computer files) that the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related proceeds are the property of the Buyer. Such Originator maintains at, or shall cause the Servicer to maintain at, one or more of their respective offices listed on Exhibit II hereto the complete records for the Receivables.
(o) Creditor Approval.

10 | ||||||||
(q) Financial Information. If and when produced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the consolidated balance sheet of such Originator as of the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income of such Originator for the Fiscal Year then ended, fairly present the consolidated financial position of such Originator as of such date and the consolidated results of the operations, all in accordance with GAAP.
(r) Investment Company. Such Originator is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(s) ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of the such Originator 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 Codification Topic 715) 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 such Originator and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole.
(t) Separate Corporate Existence. Such Originator is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance on the Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity from such Originator and each of its Affiliates, and acknowledges that the Buyer and the other parties to the Transaction Documents are similarly entering into the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Documents in reliance on the Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity from such Originator and each such other Affiliate. Such Originator has at all times complied with Section 4.1(r).
(u) No Fraudulent Conveyance. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by each of the Facility Documents are being consummated by such Originator in furtherance of such Originator’s ordinary business, with no contemplation of insolvency and with no intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future creditors. By its receipt of the Purchase Price hereunder and its ownership of the capital stock of the Buyer, such Originator shall have received reasonably equivalent value for the Purchased Assets sold or otherwise conveyed to the Buyer under this Agreement. No transfer hereunder by such Originator of any Receivable originated by such Originator is or may be voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
(v) Ownership of Buyer. ABDC owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Buyer. Such equity interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Originators Concerning the Receivables. By selling Receivables to the Buyer on each Purchase Date, each Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof, on the date of the Purchase from such Originator hereunder and on each date that any Receivable is originated by such Originator or on or after the date of such Purchase, that:
(a) Assignment. This Agreement vests in the Buyer all the right, title and interest of such Originator in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and Proceeds, and constitutes a valid sale of the Receivables, enforceable against, and creating an interest prior in right to, all creditors of and purchasers from such Originator.
(b) No Liens. Each Receivable, together with the related Contract and all purchase orders and other agreements related to such Receivable, is owned by such Originator free and clear of any Lien. When the Buyer makes a purchase of a Receivable it shall have acquired and shall continue to have maintained an ownership interest in such Receivable and in the Related Security, the Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien arising in connection with this Agreement). Such Originator has not and will not prior to the time of the sale of any such interest to the Buyer have sold, pledged, assigned, transferred or subjected to a Lien any of the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections, and Proceeds other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Filings. On or prior to each Purchase Date, all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections, and Proceeds against all creditors of and purchasers from such Originator and all other Persons whatsoever have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have been paid in full.
(d) Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable and related Contract. Neither such Originator nor any other Person has extended or modified the terms of any Receivable or the related Contract except in accordance with such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.
(e) Nature of Receivables. Each Receivable is, or will be, an eligible asset within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time.
(f) Bona Fide Receivables. Each Receivable is an obligation of an Obligor arising out of a past, current or future sale or performance by such Originator, in accordance with the terms of the Contract giving rise to such Receivable. Such Originator has no knowledge of any fact that should have led it to expect at the time of the initial creation of an interest in any
12 | ||||||||
Receivable hereunder that such Receivable would not be paid in full when due except with respect to any Dilution. Each Receivable classified as an “Eligible Receivable” by such Originator in any document or report delivered hereunder satisfies the requirements of eligibility contained in the definition of Eligible Receivable at the time such document or report was delivered.
(g) Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 4.1(x) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of such Originator at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit III. Such Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and its assigns) dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.
(h) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by Buyer hereunder.
ARTICLE 3
CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Purchase. The Purchases under this Agreement on the Original Closing Date were subject to the conditions precedent that (a) Buyer shall have been capitalized with the Initial Contributed Receivables, (b) Buyer shall have received on or before the date of such purchase those documents listed on Schedule A and (c) all of the conditions to the initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 3.2 Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments. Buyer’s obligation to pay for Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that: (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred under the Purchase Agreement; (b) Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request and (c) on the date such Receivable came into existence, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Originator that such statements are then true):
(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article 2 are true and correct on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date; and

The failure of such Originator to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct such Originator to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of such Originator or limit the recourse of Buyer to such Originator for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Originator under the terms of this Agreement.

(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, such Originator’s use of the proceeds of the Purchase from it hereunder, the ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to such Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.
2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of each month (or portion thereof) during the term of this Subordinated Note, computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and changing on the first business day of each month hereafter (“LIBOR”); provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.
3. Principal Payments. Originator is authorized and directed by SPV to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by SPV, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie
VI-1 | ||||||||
evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of SPV hereunder.
4. Subordination. Originator shall have the right to receive, and SPV shall make, any and all payments and prepayments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note provided that, after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to) owned by SPV at such time exceeds the sum of (a) the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) outstanding at such time under the Purchase Agreement, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note. Originator hereby agrees that at any time during which the conditions set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, Originator shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of SPV owing to the Administrator or any Purchaser under that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 29, 2010 by and among SPV, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, as initial Servicer (the “Servicer”), various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto, and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as the “Administrator” (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Administrator and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement. Until the date on which the “Aggregate Invested Amount” outstanding under the Purchase Agreement has been repaid in full and all other obligations of SPV and/or the Servicer thereunder and under the “Fee Letter” referenced therein (all such obligations, collectively, the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not institute against SPV any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(b) of the Sale Agreement unless and until the Collection Date has occurred. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of this Section 4, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Administrator for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.
5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(b) of the Sale Agreement involving SPV as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Aggregate Invested Amount and the Senior Claim (including “Yield” as defined and as accruing under the Purchase Agreement after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Yield is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or
VI-2 | ||||||||
otherwise) directly to the Administrator for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.
6. Amendments. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended or modified except in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Sale Agreement. The terms of this Subordinated Note may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers.

WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.

(b) Such Originator has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on such Originator’s business.
(c) The execution and delivery by such Originator of the Original Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and its performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action and proceedings on the part of such Originator and will not:
(i) require any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (other than the filing of UCC financing statements);
(ii) contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Originator; or
(iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of such Originator or any of its Subsidiaries (except as contemplated by the Original Agreement).
(d) The Original Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Originator and constitutes the legally valid, and binding obligation of such Originator enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject also to the availability of equitable remedies if equitable remedies are sought.
(e) In the event that the Original Agreement is held to create a transfer for security purposes rather than a true sale or other outright assignment, the provisions of the Original Agreement are effective to create valid security interests in favor of Buyer in
A-2 | ||||||||
all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and Related Security described therein which constitute “accounts,” “chattel paper” or “general intangibles” (each as defined in the UCC) (collectively, the “Opinion Collateral”), as security for the payment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to such Originator in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (as defined therein) of the Receivables (as defined therein) acquired from such Originator, together with all other obligations of such Originator thereunder.
(f) Each of the UCC-1 Financing Statements naming such Originator as debtor, Buyer, as secured party, and Administrator, as assignee of secured party to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, is in appropriate form for filing therein. Upon filing of such UCC-1 Financing Statements in such filing offices and payment of the required filing fees, the security interest in favor of Buyer in the Opinion Collateral will be perfected and assigned of record to the Administrator.
(g) Based solely on our review of the UCC Search Reports described in Paragraph 4 to this Schedule A, and assuming (i) the filing of the Financing Statements and payment of the required filing fees in accordance with paragraph (f) and (ii) the absence of any intervening filings between the date and time of the Search Reports and the date and time of the filing of the Financing Statements, the security interest of Buyer in the Opinion Collateral is prior to any security interest granted in the Opinion Collateral by such Originator, the priority of which is determined solely by the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate filing offices.
(h) To the best of the opinion giver’s knowledge, there is no action, suit or other proceeding against such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator, which would materially adversely affect the business or financial condition of such Originator and its Affiliates taken as a whole or which would materially adversely affect the ability of such Originator to perform its obligations under the Receivables Sale Agreement.
