RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 10, 2003 is entered into by and among:

(a) Amerisource Receivables Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”),

(b) AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ABDC”), as initial Servicer (the Servicer together with Seller, the “Seller Parties” and each, a “Seller Party”),

(d) Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrator for each Purchaser Group (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrator”).

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

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

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

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

Wachovia Bank, National Association has been requested and is willing to act as Administrator on behalf of the Purchasers and their assigns in accordance with the terms hereof.

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 applicable Facility Termination Date, Seller may request that the Conduit Purchasers, or, if a Conduit Purchaser (in its sole discretion) denies such request or is unable to fund (in which case it shall provide notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent), request that the Related Committed Purchasers, purchase from Seller undivided ownership interests in the Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections (which interest shall be held by the Administrator on behalf of the applicable Purchasers). Each Conduit 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 applicable 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, or (iii) the aggregate of the Receivable Interests would exceed 100%. It is the intent of the Conduit Purchasers to fund any Purchases thereby through the issuance of Commercial Paper. If for any reason any Conduit Purchaser is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund or maintain its investment in the Receivable Interests, or is unable for any reason to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit Purchaser may avail itself of a Bank Rate Funding to the extent available. 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 Alternate Base Rate or the LIBO Rate, selected 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, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent), terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Investment of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction) and, unless terminated in whole, not below $100,000,000); provided that each partial reduction of the 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 Administrator and each Purchaser Agent be applied ratably to reduce the Group Commitment of each Purchaser Group.

Section 1.2 Incremental Purchases. Seller shall provide the Administrator 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 $500,000, 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 Conduit Purchaser will fund the requested Incremental Purchase. If such Conduit 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. Seller shall provide the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent with prior written irrevocable notice in the form set forth as Exhibit XV hereto (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount at least two Business Days (or three Business Days if the proposed reduction to be made to Purchasers in the

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Funding Corporation Purchaser Group is $50,000,000 or more) prior to any such proposed reduction. 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).

Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; 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 such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

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

then, on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(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 one (1) Business Day thereafter shall pay to the Collection Account the amount of any such Collection deemed to have been received in the same manner as actual cash collections are distributed under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Seller shall ensure that the Aggregate Invested Amount at no time exceeds the Purchase Limit. If at any time the Aggregate Invested Amount exceeds the 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 Purchase Limit.

(c) 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 1.5 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. 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 Extension of Termination Date. The Seller may advise the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent) in writing of its desire to extend the Scheduled Facility Termination Date for each Group Commitment (or portion thereof), provided such request is made not more than 90 days (or such other number of days as to which the applicable Purchaser Agent shall consent) prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the next Scheduled Facility Termination Date. In the event that the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group are all agreeable to such extension, the related Purchaser Agent shall so notify the Seller and the Administrator in writing (it being understood that the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to such next Scheduled Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser in a Purchaser Group declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser shall so notify the related Purchaser Agent and the Purchaser Agent shall so notify the Seller and the Administrator of such determination (it being understood that if any such Purchaser Group does not extend its Group Commitment hereunder or assign its obligations to new Purchasers (willing to extend such Facility Termination Date) in accordance with Section 12.1, then the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to that portion of the Commitment of such Exiting Purchasers with respect to which the Scheduled Facility Termination Date has occurred and the Commitment Percentages and Group Commitments of the Purchasers within each Purchaser Group shall be appropriately adjusted); provided that, the failure of such Purchaser to notify the Purchaser Agent or of the Purchaser Agent to notify the Seller or the Administrator of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event such Purchaser Agent fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.

Section 1.7 Sharing of Payments, etc. If any Conduit Purchaser or any Related Committed Purchaser (for purpose of this Section 1.7 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 Conduit Purchasers and/or the Related Committed 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, however, 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.

ARTICLE II.

If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Final Facility Termination Date, Seller hereby requests and each Purchaser (other than any Exiting Purchasers) hereby agrees to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each, a “Reinvestment”) with the Purchasers’

Portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the Invested Amount of the Receivable Interests of each Purchaser (other than an Exiting Purchaser) immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of such Invested Amounts immediately prior to such receipt.

(b) On each Settlement Date prior to the Final Facility Termination Date, the Servicer shall remit to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of its Purchaser Group (or, if applicable, to the Administrator for its own benefit) the amounts set aside during the preceding Calculation Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and (after deduction of its Servicing Fee) apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) to the Aggregate Unpaids in the order specified:

first, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Yield and Broken Funding Costs (if any) that are then due and owing,

second, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letters (if any) that are then due and owing,

third, to the ratable reduction of the aggregate Invested Amount of each Exiting Purchaser,

fourth, if required under Section 1.3 or 1.4, to the ratable reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount (less the amount, if any, distributed pursuant to clause third above),

fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Recourse Obligations, if any, that are then due and owing, and

sixth, the balance, if any, to Seller or otherwise in accordance with Seller’s instructions.

(c) If the Collections are insufficient to pay the Servicing Fee and the amounts specified in clauses first through fifth above on any Settlement Date, Seller shall make demand upon ABDC for repayment of any outstanding Demand Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such shortfall in Collections, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Demand Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and ABDC hereby agrees to pay such amount to the Collection Account for distribution on such Settlement Date in accordance with the priorities above.

Section 2.3 Repayment of Demand Advances on the Final Facility Termination Date; Collections

(a) On the Final Facility Termination Date, ABDC hereby agrees to repay the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Demand Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Collection Account, without demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by ABDC.

fourth, to the ratable reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount,

fifth, for the ratable payment of all other Aggregate Unpaids, and

sixth, after the Final Payout Date, to Seller.

Section 2.4 Payment Recission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such recission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of any such recission, return or refunding.

Section 2.5 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller shall have the right (after providing the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent with at least two (2) Business Days prior notice), at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Invested Amount to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Receivable Interests plus any Broken Funding Costs. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds in accordance with Section 2.3(b). Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrator.

ARTICLE III.

COMMERCIAL PAPER FUNDING

Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Invested Amount of all Receivable Interests funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper. With respect to Commercial Paper issued by EagleFunding Capital Corporation or Atlantic Asset Securitization Corp., Seller may from time to time request the duration of the next tranche of Commercial Paper. Notice of such request shall be provided to the applicable Purchaser Agent by 2:00 p.m.

(New York time) on the Business day prior to the issuance of such Commercial Paper. The Purchaser Agent shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate such request but shall have the right to select the duration of the Commercial Paper whether or not the Seller has made a request.

Section 3.2 Calculation of CP Costs. On each Business Day, each Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its Receivable Interests accrued through the end of the preceding Business Day and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount; provided, however, if any Purchaser is unable or unwilling to make such daily calculation, such Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall only be required to notify the Seller on the first Business Day of each calendar week with respect to the applicable CP Costs for each Business day in the preceding week.

Section 3.3 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of the related Conduit Purchaser) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the portion of the Invested Amounts of all Receivable Interests funded by such Conduit Purchaser with Commercial Paper for the Calculation Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II.

Section 3.4 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Receivable Interests shall accrue Yield at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE IV.

BANK RATE FUNDINGS

Section 4.1 Bank Rate Fundings. Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the portion of outstanding Invested Amount of each Receivable Interest funded with Bank Rate Fundings shall accrue Yield for each day during its Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives the required notice to the Administrator and the applicable Purchaser Agent of another Yield Rate in accordance with Section 4.3, the initial Yield Rate for any Receivable Interest funded with a Bank Rate Funding shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). If any undivided interest in a Receivable Interest initially funded with Commercial Paper is sold (or otherwise participated) to the Liquidity Providers pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, such undivided interest in such Receivable Interest shall be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the date of such sale.

Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest that is funded with a Bank Rate Funding, Seller shall pay to each applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of its Purchaser Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield thereon for the entire Interest Period of each related Bank Rate Funding in accordance with Article II.

Section 4.3 Bank Rate Funding Yield Rates. Seller may select the LIBO Rate (subject to Section 4.4 below) or the Alternate Base Rate for each Bank Rate Funding. Seller shall by 12:00 noon (New York time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Yield Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the commencement of any Interest Period with

respect to which the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a new Yield Rate, give the applicable Purchaser Agent irrevocable notice of the new Yield Rate for the Bank Rate Funding associated with such new Interest Period. Unless Seller gives sufficient notice to the applicable Purchaser Agent of another Yield Rate (in accordance with the preceding sentence), the initial Yield Rate for any Bank Rate Funding shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable).

Section 4.4 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. If any Related Committed Purchaser or Liquidity Provider notifies the related Purchaser Agent that it has determined that funding its ratable share of the Bank Rate Fundings at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Bank Rate Funding at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Bank Rate Funding at such LIBO Rate, then such Purchaser Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Bank Rate Funding accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate.

Section 4.5 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Bank Rate Fundings shall accrue Yield at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 5.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser, as to itself, as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Seller’s only jurisdiction of organization is correctly set forth in the preamble of this Agreement. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Seller 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.

(b) Authority. The Seller has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, 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 the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its 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 or by general principles of equity, and will vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a valid undivided security interest in the Receivables 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 Administrator’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) ownership and security interests in the Receivables, such interests will be perfected under Article 9 of such UCC, prior to and enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever (other than the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their 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 the Seller, advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by the Seller of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, the consummation by the Seller of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by the Seller of or the compliance by the Seller with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, or to ensure that the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) will have an ownership and security interest in and to the Receivables which is perfected and prior to all other Liens (including competing ownership or security interests), other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s Location and of the Originator’s Location.

(e) Location of Chief Executive Office, etc. As of the date hereof: (i) the Seller’s chief executive office is located at the address for notices set forth on the signature page hereof; (ii) the offices where the Seller keeps all of its Records are listed on Exhibit III hereto; and (iii) since its incorporation, the Seller has operated only under the names identified in Exhibit III hereto, and 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 III hereto.

(f) Perfection. This Agreement is effective to create a valid security interest in favor of the Administrator for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Purchased Assets to secure payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, free and clear of any Lien except as created by the Transaction Documents. 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 the Administrator’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) security interest in the Purchased Assets.

(s) Investment Company. The Seller 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. The Seller is not a “holding company” or a “subsidiary holding company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute.

(t) Payments to Applicable Originator.

Section 5.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller With Respect to Each Sale of Receivables. By selling undivided ownership interests in Receivables to the Purchasers, either by Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, the Seller represents and warrants to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser as of the date of such sale of an Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment (in addition to its other representations and warranties contained herein or made pursuant hereto) that:

(a) Purchase Notice. If such sale relates to an Incremental Purchase, all information set forth on the related Purchase Notice is true and correct as of the date of such Incremental Purchase.

(b) Assignment. This Agreement vests in the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivable Interest in the Receivables, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and constitutes a valid sale of or grant of a security interest in the Receivable Interest, enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

(c) No Liens. Each Receivable, together with the related Contract and all purchase orders and other agreements related to such Receivable, is owned by the Seller free and clear of any Lien, except as provided herein, and is not subject to any Dispute, except as provided herein. When each of the Purchasers makes a purchase of a Receivable Interest in such Receivable, it shall have acquired and shall continue to have maintained an undivided percentage ownership interest to the extent of its percentage of the Receivable Interest in such Receivable and in the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto free and clear of any Lien, except as provided herein. The Seller has not and will not prior to the time of the sale of any such interest to the Purchasers have sold, pledged, assigned, transferred or subjected, and will not thereafter sell, pledge, assign, transfer or subject, to a Lien any of the Receivables, the Related Security or the Collections, other than the assignment of Receivable Interests therein to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Filings. On or prior to each Purchase and each recomputation of the Receivable Interest, all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Receivable Interest against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever will 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 shall have been paid in full.

(e) Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy of the applicable Originator has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable and related Contract.

(f) Collection Banks, Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the numbers of all Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes at such Collection Banks and the addresses of all related Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes, are specified in Exhibit IV (or such other Collection Banks, Collection Accounts and Lock Boxes that have been changed or established in accordance with Section 7.2(g)).

(g) 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.

(h) Bona Fide Receivables. Each Receivable is an obligation of an Obligor arising out of a past, current or future sale or performance by the applicable Originator, in accordance with the terms of the Contract giving rise to such Receivable. The Seller 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 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 the Seller in any document or report delivered hereunder satisfies the requirements of eligibility contained in the definition of Eligible Receivable.

Section 5.3 Representations and Warranties of Servicer. The Servicer represents and warrants to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser on and as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and each Reinvestment after such date:

(a) Organization and Qualification. The Servicer’s only jurisdiction of organization is in Delaware. The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Servicer 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, 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.

(b) Authority. The Servicer has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(c) Execution and Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Servicer and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance with its 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 or by general principles of equity, and will vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) an ownership or security interest in the Receivables 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 Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) ownership or security interests in the Receivables, such interests will be perfected under Article 9 of such UCC, prior to and enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever (other than for the Administrator, for benefit of the Secured Parties, and their 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 the Servicer, advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement, the consummation by the Servicer of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by the Servicer of or the compliance by the Servicer with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof, or to ensure that the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) will have an ownership and security interest in and to the Receivables which is perfected and prior to all other Liens (including competing ownership or security interests), other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the jurisdictions of each Originator’s Location and of the Seller’s Location.

(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 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 would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Servicer or result in rendering any debt in excess of $10,000,000 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 the Servicer. 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 Amortization Event. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists which constitutes a Amortization Event.

(g) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. No information furnished by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the Administrator, 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).

(h) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened, before any Official Body (A) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect (i) the performance by either the Seller or the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or any material amount of the Receivables.

(i) No Change in Ability to Perform. Since the date on which the Servicer accepted its duties hereunder, 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.

(k) Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (which shall include the Servicer) as at the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income and cash flows of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended, certified by Ernst & Young LLP, independent accountants, or another nationally recognized firm of independent accountants, are available as a matter of public record. The Servicer will cause AmerisourceBergen to provide on the date of such public filing or the next succeeding Business Day a certificate to the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent), that such balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows fairly present the consolidated financial position of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations of and consolidated cash flows of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at most recent fiscal quarter end and the related unaudited statements of income and cash flows of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods then ended are available as a matter of public record. The Servicer will cause AmerisourceBergen to provide on the date of such public filing or the next succeeding Business Day a certificate to the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser

Agent), that such balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows fairly present the consolidated financial position of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations of and consolidated cash flows of AmerisourceBergen and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods ended on such date, all in accordance with GAAP.

(l) Litigation. No injunction, decree or other decision has been issued or made by any Official Body that prevents, and to the knowledge of the Servicer, no threat by any Person has been made to attempt to obtain any such decision that would have a material adverse effect on, the conduct by the Servicer of a significant portion of its business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables, and no litigation, investigation or proceeding 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 might 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, the Contracts or any material amount of the 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, 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 Performance Guarantor and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans.

ARTICLE VIII.

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. ABDC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Required Purchaser Agents may at any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event designate as Servicer any Person to succeed ABDC or any successor Servicer; provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

(b) ABDC may delegate, and ABDC hereby advises the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser that it has delegated, to the other Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer, certain of its duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in respect

of the Receivables originated by such other Originator. Without the prior written consent of the Required Purchaser Agents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), ABDC shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Seller, (ii) the other Originators, and (iii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither Seller nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by ABDC. If at any time the Required Purchaser Agents shall designate as Servicer any Person other than ABDC, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by ABDC to Seller or the other Originators may, at the discretion of the Required Purchaser Agents, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Required Purchaser Agents to ABDC and to Seller and the other Originators.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b): (i) ABDC shall be and remain primarily liable to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with ABDC in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than ABDC in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. ABDC, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 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 (on or prior to September 30, 2003 with respect to each Collection Account listed on Exhibit IV on the date hereof) effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI, or if an existing collection account agreement is in place, an amendment and assignment in the form of Exhibit XVII (in each case, with such other changes as the Administrator may otherwise consent), with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Administrator delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Administrator 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 Administrator 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. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and each Purchaser their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent and after an Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrator such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for each Purchaser on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided 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 Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Purchaser Agents shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Administrator, 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 Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrator. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, furnish to the Administrator 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 Required Purchaser Agents, 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 Administrator is authorized at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event or an Unmatured Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Administrator for the benefit of the Secured Parties, effective when the Administrator 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 Administrator. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator, and agrees that the Administrator 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 an Amortization Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization 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 Administrator rather than Seller.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Administrator, on behalf of Secured Parties, of the Administrator’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 Administrator, 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 Administrator (with an electronic copy to each Purchaser Agent) (i) on each Settlement Reporting Date, a Settlement Report (certified by an Authorized Officer of the Servicer) and an electronic file of the data contained therein and (ii) at such times as the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables; provided that, if an Amortization Event or an Unmatured Amortization Event shall exist and be continuing, the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may request that the Servicer deliver a Settlement Report more frequently than monthly but not more frequently than weekly unless an Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent (but not more frequently than every quarter), the Servicer shall provide in writing to the Administrator (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.

(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;

(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Purchase or the Administrator’s security interest in the Purchased Assets under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

(xv) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

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 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 (subject to any limitations specifically with respect to this Section 10.2 set forth in the Fee Letters). For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of FASB Interpretation No. 46, 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 Administrator, 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.

Seller shall pay to the Administrator, 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, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of independent legal counsel with respect thereto and with respect to providing advice as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement but excluding salaries and similar overhead costs of each Purchaser Group and the Administrator (it being understood that, unless otherwise consented to by the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall endeavor to utilize the same counsel to the extent reasonably feasible).

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 Administrator 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 X 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 Administrator and so long as no Amortization Event has occurred 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 Administrator 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 grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Funding Source, participating interests in its portion of the Receivable Interests. In the event of any such 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 1.7.

(e) Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit 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 Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided that, such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) 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 Conduit Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Receivable Interests to its assignee. Such Conduit 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 Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Receivable Interests, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the CP Costs therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different CP Costs).

(f) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Purchaser Agent or to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser, each Transfer Supplement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

ARTICLE XIII.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.1 Waivers and Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1(b). Seller and the Administrator, with the consent of the Required Purchaser Agents, may enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement; provided that, no such modification or waiver shall:

(i) without the consent of each Purchaser affected thereby, (A) extend the Facility Termination Date for the related Purchaser Group or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP Costs), (C) reduce any fee payable to such Purchaser, (D) change the Invested Amount of any Receivable Interest, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Purchaser Agents, Section 9.1 or this Section 13.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Eligible Receivable,” “Available Commitment,” “Loss Reserve,” “Dilution Reserve,” “Obligor Concentration Limit,” “Yield Reserve,” “Purchase Limit,” “Commitment,” “Purchase Price,” “Servicing Reserve,” “Servicing Fee Rate,” “Required Reserve” or “Required Reserve Factor Floor” or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

(ii) without the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights (including, without limitation, fees and indemnities) or duties of such Administrator or Purchaser Agent,

and any material amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall require satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

Section 13.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 13.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their

respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if sent via U.S. certified or registered mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 13.2. Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent to effect Purchases and Interest Period and Yield Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Administrator or Purchaser Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to such Administrator or Purchaser Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided that, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, the records of such Administrator or Purchaser Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 13.3 Protection of Administrator’s Security Interest.

(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Administrator’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, or to enable the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event the Administrator may, or the Administrator may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Administrator (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 Administrator or its designee. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at the Administrator’s request, withhold the identities of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser in any such notification.

(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations under Section 13.3(a) and notice of such failure is given to the Seller Party, the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrator at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrator’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Administrator for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrator’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Administrator 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 Administrator to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with respect

to the Receivables and Related Security (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 Administrator reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Administrator 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 or Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Administrator, 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 Administrator in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of Seller or the Administrator.

Section 13.4 Confidentiality.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it in connection with the transactions contemplated herein (i) to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any other Funding Source by each other, (ii) by any such Person to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them, (iii) by any such Person to any rating agency or Commercial Paper dealer and (iv) to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants, financial advisors, and attorneys of any of the foregoing; provided that each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, any such Person may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable securities laws, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction (as defined in Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations) and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) to the extent relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 13.5 Bankruptcy Petition. Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Related Committed Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of each Conduit Purchaser, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, each Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 13.6 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Seller Party or any other Person against the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any other Funding Source or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 13.7 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED THEREIN) AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF SELLER OR THE OWNERSHIP OR SECURITY INTEREST OF THE ADMINISTRATOR (FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES) IN ANY OF THE COLLATERAL IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 13.8 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR, ANY PURCHASER AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATOR , ANY PURCHASER AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR, ANY PURCHASER AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Section 13.9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY

OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 13.10 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 13.4 and 13.5 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Seller Parties, and the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Funding Sources are hereby made express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents as in effect from time to time.

Section 13.11 Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Section 13.12 Characterization.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which Purchase shall provide the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Receivable Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Receivable Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided that (i) Seller shall be liable to the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers for all representations,

warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator.

(b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Administrator or any Purchaser may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Administrator for the benefit of Secured Parties a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, the Collections, each Lock-Box, each Collection Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids.

Since the later of (i) March 31, 2003 and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred which would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial conditions or results of operations.

(e) Taxes. Performance Guarantor has filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The United States income tax returns of Performance Guarantor have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Performance Guarantor in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

(f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the filings made by Performance Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of Performance Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against or affecting Performance Guarantor or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of Recipient hereunder. Performance Guarantor does not have any material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d).

(g) Financial Covenants. Performance Guarantor shall comply at all time with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.12, 6.13. 6.14 and 6.15 of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof (without giving effect to any amendment, waiver, termination, supplement or other modification thereof unless consented to by the Administrator and the Required Purchaser Agents).

Section 7. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full Performance Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient, the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser against Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of Recipient, the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser against Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Originator in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by Recipient, the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of Originator now or hereafter

XII-5

owed to Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of Originator to Performance Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Recipient (and its assigns) and be paid over to Recipient (or its assigns) on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Performance Guarantor.

Section 8. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Aggregate Unpaids are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Receivables Purchase Agreement is terminated; provided that this Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Originator or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not Recipient (or its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 9. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Performance Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of Originator and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against Originator under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the Federal Bankruptcy Code with respect to Originator or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which Originator is subject shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 10. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking, whether or not Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or

XII-6

otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

Section 12. Further Assurances. Performance Guarantor agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of Recipient (or its assigns), provide information relating to the business and affairs of Performance Guarantor as Recipient may reasonably request. Performance Guarantor also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as Recipient (or its assigns) may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Undertaking and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of Recipient hereunder.

Section 13. Successors and Assigns. This Performance Undertaking shall be binding upon Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Recipient and its successors and assigns. Performance Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of Recipient, the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Recipient may assign or otherwise transfer the Agreements, any other documents executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder or any other agreement or note held by them evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or sell participations in any interest therein, to any other entity or other Person, and such other entity or other Person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to the beneficiaries herein.

Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Recipient, the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and Performance Guarantor. No failure on the part of Recipient to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth beneath its signature hereto, and if to Recipient, at the addresses set forth beneath its signature hereto, or at such other addresses as each of Performance Guarantor or any Recipient may designate in writing to the other. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (1) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (2) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (3) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 15.

Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS UNDERTAKING SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

XII-7

Section 17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS UNDERTAKING, THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 18. Bankruptcy Petition. Performance Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior Indebtedness of Conduit Purchaser, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire agreement of Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Performance Guarantor’s liability under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Undertaking to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Performance Guarantor or Recipient, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise specified, references herein to “Section” shall mean a reference to sections of this Undertaking.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Performance Guarantor has caused this Undertaking to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

July 10, 2003

[Name of Lockbox Bank]
[Address]

Attention:

Re: Amendment and Assignment of Lockbox Letter Agreements

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to those certain Lockbox Letter Agreements dated [_____] (the “Agreements”) for lockbox numbers [_____] (the “Lockboxes”) and the corresponding demand deposit account numbers [_____] (the “Lockbox Accounts”), among [_____], as Lockbox bank (“[Name of Lockbox Bank]”), AmeriSource Receivables Financial Corporation (“ARFC”) and Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust Company of New York (now known as JPMorgan Chase Bank) (“Xxxxxx”) under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 14, 1999, among ARFC, as seller, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (f/k/a AmeriSource Corporation) (“ABDC”), as servicer, AmeriSource Health Corporation (now known as AmerisourceBergen Services Corporation), as guarantor, Delaware Funding Corporation, as buyer, and Xxxxxx, as administrative agent (the “Xxxxxx Transaction”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreements.

1. Assignment of Agreement.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2003, between AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, as originator (in such capacity, the “Originator”), and ARFC (the “Receivables Sale Agreement”), and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2003, among ABDC, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the various purchaser groups from time to time party thereto and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrator (the “Administrator”) (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement” and together with the Receivables Sale Agreement, the “Wachovia Transaction”), Xxxxxx hereby transfers and assigns to the Administrator all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Agreements, the Lockboxes and the Lockbox Accounts.

From and after the date hereof, (i) the Administrator shall have all the rights, and be subject to all of the obligations of Xxxxxx with respect to the Agreements, the Lockboxes and the Lockbox Accounts, and (ii) all references in the Agreements to the “Administrative Agent”, “AmeriSource Corporation”, the “Servicer” and the “Receivables Purchase Agreement” shall refer to the Administrator, ABDC, the Servicer and the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each as defined herein), respectively.

2. Amendments to Agreement.

(a) Each of the Agreements is hereby amended and restated by adding the following language after the fourth paragraph thereto:

In addition, as collateral security for ARFC’s obligations to the Administrator and certain other persons in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, ARFC hereby grants to the Administrator a present and continuing security interest in (a) the Lockboxes and the Lockbox Accounts, (b) all general intangibles and privileges in respect of the Lockboxes or the Lockbox Accounts, and (c) all cash, checks, money orders and other items of value of ARFC now or hereafter paid, deposited, credited, held (whether for collection, provisionally or otherwise) or otherwise, in the possession or under the control of, or in transit to [Name of Lockbox Bank] or any agent, bailee or custodian thereof in respect of the Lockboxes or the Lockbox Accounts, and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, “Receipts”). [Name of Lockbox Bank] acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Administrator has “Control” (as contemplated in §9-104 of the applicable UCC) of the Lockbox Accounts and [Name of Lockbox Bank] is required to comply with the instructions of the Administrator directing disposition of the funds in the Lockbox Accounts without further consent by AmeriSource Corporation, the Servicer, ARFC or any affiliate thereof and (ii) [Name of Lockbox Bank] shall at all times maintain the Lockbox Accounts as “Deposit Accounts” (as defined in §9-102 of the applicable UCC). The Administrator hereby appoints [Name of Lockbox Bank] as the Administrator’s bailee for the Lockboxes, Lockbox Accounts and all Receipts for the purpose of perfecting the Administrator’s security interest in such collateral, and [Name of Lockbox Bank] hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement. ARFC hereby agrees to such appointment and further agrees that [Name of Lockbox Bank], on behalf of the Administrator, shall be entitled to exercise, as directed in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement, any and all rights which the Administrator may have in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph of this letter agreement or under applicable law with respect to the Lockboxes, Lockbox Accounts, all Receipts and all other collateral described in this paragraph.

[Name of Lockbox Bank] hereby agrees not to institute or join any other person or entity in instituting, any suit pursuant to Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, or any similar suit or proceeding under then applicable state or federal law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors, against ARFC prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment of all obligations of ARFC to the Administrator (and the parties for which it is acting as agent) are paid in full. This section shall survive any termination of this letter agreement.

(b) The eleventh paragraph each of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated by deleting such paragraph and replacing it with the following:

[Name of Lockbox Bank] may terminate this letter agreement upon 60 days’ prior written notice to ARFC, the Servicer and the Administrator. Neither ARFC nor the Servicer may terminate this letter agreement, except with the written consent of the Administrator and upon 10 days’ prior written notice to [Name of Lockbox Bank] and the Administrator. AmeriSource Corporation may not terminate this letter agreement. Incoming mail addressed to the Lockboxes or Lockbox Accounts (including, without limitation, any direct funds transfer to the Lockbox Accounts) received after any such termination shall be forwarded in accordance with the Administrator’s instructions (or if the Administrator has not delivered the Administrator’s Notice, the Servicer’s instructions).

[Name of Lockbox Bank] shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder (other than to the Administrator) without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrator and ARFC. AmeriSource Corporation (except to the extent of its limited capacity as Servicer) shall not assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder without the consent of [Name of Lockbox Bank] and the consent of the Administrator. Neither ARFC nor the Servicer shall assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Administrator. The Administrator may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder upon notice to the other parties hereto. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Administrator, each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) The sentence comprising the fifteenth paragraph of each of the Agreements (before taking into account this Amendment and Assignment) is hereby replaced with the following language:

This letter agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Virginia. ARFC, the Administrator and [Name of Lockbox Bank] agree that [_____] is [Name of Lockbox Bank]’s “jurisdiction” for purposes of §9-304 of the applicable UCC.

[Signatures begin on the following page]

This Amendment and Assignment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of the signature pages of this Assignment by telecopier shall be equally effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

(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);
