SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, this “
Agreement”), dated as of July 28,
2008, by and among (i) MEDCO HEALTH RECEIVABLES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as
Seller, (ii) MEDCO HEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as initial Servicer, (iii) the
Conduit Purchasers from time to time parties hereto, (iv) the Committed Purchasers from time to
time parties hereto, (v) CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC., THE BANK OF TOKYO-MITSUBISHI UFJ, LTD.,
NEW
YORK BRANCH and THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA, as Managing Agents and (vi) CITICORP NORTH AMERICA, INC.,
as Administrative Agent.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
A. The Seller has acquired, and may continue to acquire, Receivables from the Originator
pursuant to the Originator Purchase Agreement by purchase or as a contribution to the capital of
the Seller.
B. The Seller may desire to convey, transfer and assign, from time to time, undivided
percentage interests in the Receivables (referred to herein as “Receivable Interests”) on the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
C. The Conduit Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, purchase the Receivable Interests so
offered for sale from time to time, and if a Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group elects not to
make any such purchase, the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group have agreed that they
shall make such purchase, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
D. The Seller, Conduit Purchasers, the Bank Purchasers, the Managing Agents, Administrative
Agent and the Servicer are parties the Amended and Restated
Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated
as of September 22, 2003 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “
Existing RPA”).
E. On the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and
restate the Existing RPA in its entirety.
Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings specified on Schedule I.
SECTION 1.02
Other Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall
be construed in accordance with GAAP. All terms used in Article 9 of the UCC in the State of
New
York, as in effect on the date hereof and not specifically defined herein, are used herein as
defined in such Article 9. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to
“Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Annex” means articles and sections of, and schedules and
annexes to, this Agreement. Headings are for purposes of reference only and shall not otherwise
affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof. Any reference to any Law shall be
deemed to be a reference to such Law as the same may be amended or re-enacted from time to time.
Any reference to any Person appearing in any of the Transaction Documents shall include its
successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 1.03 Amendment and Restatement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.01, this Agreement amends and restates the Existing RPA in its
entirety. This Agreement is not intended to constitute a novation of any obligations under the
Existing RPA. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.01 (the date
of such effectiveness being the “Effective Date”), each reference to the Existing RPA in
any other document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall
mean and be a reference to this Agreement.
SECTION 1.04 Adjustment of Capital. The parties hereto acknowledge that an adjustment
to the Capital held by the respective Purchaser Groups is required to be made on the Effective Date
in order to ensure that the Capital held by the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group is proportional
to the Conduit Purchase Limit(s) of the Conduit Purchaser(s) in each Purchaser Group. Accordingly,
on the Effective Date, the Seller shall request a special non-pro rata purchase of Receivable
Interests to be made by the Purchaser Group for which Scotiabank acts as Managing Agent in an
amount such that, after giving effect to such purchase and all other purchases to be made hereunder
on such date, the Capital held by the Purchasers in the respective Purchaser Groups shall be
proportional to the Conduit Purchase Limit(s) of the Conduit Purchaser(s) in each such Purchaser
Group.
ARTICLE II
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
SECTION 2.01 Purchase Facility. (a) The Seller may, at its option from time to time
prior to the Termination Date, offer to sell and assign Receivable Interests to the Purchasers in
each Purchaser Group at the applicable Purchase Price specified pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such
sale and assignment, an “Incremental Purchase”). On the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (i) the Conduit Purchasers, ratably, in accordance with their respective Conduit Purchase
Limits, may, in their sole discretion, purchase the Receivable Interests so offered for sale by the
Seller and (ii) if a Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group declines to purchase any such
Receivable Interest, or if a Conduit Purchaser’s Termination Event has occurred and is continuing
with respect to such Conduit Purchaser, the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group shall,
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, purchase such
Receivable Interest. Each Incremental Purchase shall be made among the Purchaser Groups ratably in
accordance with their respective Purchaser Group Limits, except as provided in Section 2.02(b).
Under no circumstances shall an Incremental Purchase be made hereunder if, after giving effect
thereto, (i) the aggregate
2
outstanding Capital would exceed the Purchase Limit or (ii) the Receivable Interest Percentage
would exceed the Maximum Receivable Interest Percentage, as determined by reference to the
information set forth in the most recent Servicer Report delivered hereunder.
(b) Until the Amortization Date for a Receivable Interest, the Collections attributable to
such Receivable Interest shall be automatically reinvested in the Pool Receivables and Related
Security and Collections with respect thereto pursuant to (and subject to the priority of payments
set forth in) Section 2.04 (each a “Reinvestment Purchase”) and such reinvested Collections
shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Originator Purchase Agreement to pay the purchase
price for newly arising Receivables and/or to make payments in respect of the Subordinated Note or
other expenses of the Seller.
(c) Upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing
Agent, the Seller may reduce the Commitments of the Committed Purchasers by an amount equal to
$10,000,000 or by a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no such
termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Capital
would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Upon any such reduction, the Commitment of each Committed
Purchaser and the Conduit Purchase Limit of each Conduit Purchaser shall be reduced in an amount
equal to such Committed Purchaser’s or Conduit Purchaser’s ratable share of the amount of such
reduction. Once reduced, the Commitments shall not be subsequently reinstated without the consent
of each Committed Purchaser.
SECTION 2.02
Making Incremental Purchases. (a) Each Incremental Purchase hereunder
shall be made on notice delivered by the Seller to each Managing Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.
(
New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of such Incremental Purchase.
Each such notice shall specify:
(i) the aggregate amount (which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) requested to be paid to the Seller for the
Receivable Interests which are the subject of such Incremental Purchase (the
“Purchase Price”);
(ii) the allocation of such Purchase Price among the Purchaser Groups (which
shall be proportional to the respective Conduit Purchase Limits of the Conduit
Purchaser(s) in each Purchaser Group, unless such purchase is to be made by the
Committed Purchasers in a particular Purchaser Group and the proceeds of such
purchase are to be used solely to repay the Capital of the Receivable Interest of a
Conduit Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(b));
(iii) the date of such Incremental Purchase (which shall be a Business Day);
and
(iv) if the Assignee Rate is to apply to any such Receivable Interest, the
requested duration of the initial Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest.
No more than two Incremental Purchases may be requested by the Seller during any single
calendar month.
3
Each Conduit Purchaser shall promptly notify its Managing Agent whether it has determined to
make the requested Incremental Purchase on the terms specified by the Seller. If any Conduit
Purchaser has determined not to fund all or any portion of its share of the Purchase Price for an
Incremental Purchase, the Managing Agent for such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly send notice of
the proposed Incremental Purchase to the Committed Purchasers in such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser
Group concurrently by telecopier specifying the date of such Incremental Purchase, the aggregate
amount of Capital of the Receivable Interest being purchased by such Committed Purchasers (which
amount shall be equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that would otherwise have been funded by
the applicable Conduit Purchaser), each such Committed Purchaser’s portion thereof (determined
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), whether the Yield for the initial Fixed
Period for such Receivable Interest is calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (which may
be selected only if such notice is given at not later than 11:00 A.M. (
New York City time) on the
second Business Day prior to the purchase date) or the Alternate Base Rate, and the duration of the
Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest (which shall be one day if the Seller has not selected
another period in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Fixed Period”).
(b) On the date of each such Incremental Purchase, the applicable Conduit Purchasers and/or
Committed Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, make available to the Seller in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the
Purchase Price for the Receivable Interests which are the subject of such Incremental Purchase, at
the account set forth in the Funds Transfer Letter; provided, however, if such
Incremental Purchase is being made by the Committed Purchasers in a Purchaser Group following the
Amortization Date for a Receivable Interest owned by a Conduit Purchaser pursuant to clause (i)(a)
of the definition of Amortization Date and any Capital of such Receivable Interest is outstanding
on such date of purchase, the Seller hereby directs such Committed Purchasers to pay the Purchase
Price for such Incremental Purchase (to the extent of such outstanding Capital) to the applicable
Purchaser Group Account, for application to the reduction of the outstanding Capital of such
Receivable Interest.
(c) Effective on the date of each Purchase, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the
Purchaser(s) participating in such Purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the
extent of the Receivable Interests then being purchased or in respect of which the reinvestment is
being made, in each Pool Receivable then existing or thereafter arising and in the Related Security
and Collections with respect thereto.
(d) No Conduit Purchaser shall participate in an Incremental Purchase under this Agreement at
any time in an amount which would exceed such Conduit Purchaser’s Conduit Purchase Limit less an
amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Capital held by such Conduit Purchaser.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Committed Purchaser shall not be
obligated to participate in an Incremental Purchase if, after giving effect thereto and the
application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate Capital held by such Committed Purchaser would
exceed an amount equal to (i) such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment less (ii) such Committed
Purchaser’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Capital held by the Conduit Purchaser(s) in
such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group (whether or not any portion
4
thereof has been assigned by such Conduit Purchaser(s) under an Asset Purchase Agreement).
Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed
Purchaser to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any Incremental Purchase
shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds
available on the date of such Incremental Purchase, but no Committed Purchaser shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser to make funds available in connection with any
Incremental Purchase.
SECTION 2.03 Receivable Interest Computation. (a) Upon the payment of the Purchase
Price for any Incremental Purchase hereunder, (i) each Conduit Purchaser participating in such
Purchase shall acquire a Receivable Interest the initial Capital of which is equal to the portion
of the Purchase Price paid by such Conduit Purchaser and (ii) to the extent the Committed
Purchasers in any Purchaser Group participate in such Purchase, such Committed Purchasers shall
acquire (ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments) a Receivable Interest the initial
Capital of which is equal to the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Committed Purchasers.
(b) Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of Purchase. Thereafter
until the Amortization Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be
automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any
Receivable Interest, as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the
Amortization Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter remain constant until the
Termination Date occurs. From and after the Termination Date until the Final Payout Date, each
Receivable Interest shall be equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which
is equal to the Capital of such Receivable Interest as of the Termination Date and the denominator
of which is equal to the aggregate Capital of all Receivable Interests as of the Termination Date.
(c) Each Purchase shall constitute a purchase of undivided percentage ownership interests in
each and every Pool Receivable, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto, then existing, as well as in each and every Pool Receivable, together with all Related
Security and Collections with respect thereto, which arises at any time after the date of such
Purchase. From and after the Termination Date, the aggregate Receivable Interests of the
Purchasers shall equal 100%. On the Final Payout Date, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Conduit Purchasers and the Committed Purchasers, shall be deemed to have reconveyed to the Seller
all of the Conduit Purchasers’ and the Committed Purchasers’ respective right, title and interest
in, to and under the Pool Receivables and Related Security and Collections with respect thereto,
and the Receivable Interests shall accordingly be reduced to zero. Following the Final Payout
Date, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Purchasers and the Committed Purchasers,
shall execute and deliver to the Seller, at the Seller’s expense, such documents or instruments as
the Seller may reasonably request to terminate the Conduit Purchasers’ and the Committed
Purchasers’ respective interests in the Receivables and Related Security and Collections with
respect thereto. Any such documents shall be prepared by and at the expense of the Seller.
SECTION 2.04 Application of Collections Prior to Termination Date.
5
(a) On each Business Day prior to the Termination Date, the Servicer shall, out of the
Collections received prior to such Business Day and not previously applied pursuant to this Section
2.04 (including, if applicable, any investment earnings received with respect to funds on deposit
in the Collection Account), apply such Collections in the following order and priority:
(i) set aside on its books and hold in trust for the Purchasers, the Managing
Agents and the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Yield, Fees and
Servicing Fees accrued through such day and not previously set aside, such amount to
be allocated among the Purchasers, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent and
the Servicer ratably in accordance with the proportion of such amounts owing to each
such Person;
(ii) if the Servicer Report with the most recent data delivered hereunder
indicates that the Receivable Interest Percentage exceeds the Maximum Receivable
Interest Percentage, either (A) pay to the Purchasers (ratably in accordance with
the outstanding Capital of their respective Receivable Interests) the amount
necessary to cause the Receivable Interest Percentage to be less than or equal to
the Maximum Receivable Interest Percentage or (B) if the Administrative Agent
Account has been established pursuant to Section 6.07, deposit to the Administrative
Agent Account the amount necessary to cause the Receivable Interest Percentage to be
less than or equal to the Maximum Receivable Interest Percentage;
(iii) if such day is a Liquidation Day for one or more Receivable Interests
(each a “Liquidating Receivable Interest”), set aside and hold in trust for
the relevant Purchasers an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the portion of
the Capital allocable to such Liquidating Receivable Interests over (2) the
Collections previously so set aside and allocable to such Capital pursuant to this
Section 2.04(a) and not yet distributed to the applicable Purchasers hereunder, such
amount to be allocated to such Liquidating Receivable Interests ratably in
proportion to the Capital of each; provided, however, that if such
day is a Liquidation Day by reason of the suspension of Reinvestment Purchases
pursuant to Section 2.16, then the amount required to be set aside pursuant to this
clause (iii) shall not exceed the applicable Reduction Amount;
(iv) if any Seller Obligations (other than Yield, Fees, Servicing Fees and
Capital) are then due and payable by the Seller to any Indemnified Party, pay to
each such Indemnified Party (ratably in accordance with the amounts owing to each)
the Seller Obligations so due and payable; and
(v) remit any remaining Collections to the Seller as a Reinvestment Purchase,
for the benefit of the Purchasers then holding Receivable Interests, pursuant to
Section 2.01(b).
(b) On each Settlement Date for a Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall pay to the relevant
Purchaser(s) all Yield payable to such Purchaser(s) pursuant to Section 2.07 out of Collections
allocated or set aside for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a). On each date on
6
which any Fees are payable pursuant to the Fee Letters, the Servicer shall pay such Fees to
the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Fee Letters out of Collections allocated or set aside
for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a). On each Servicing Fee Payment Date, the Servicer
shall pay to itself the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee out of Collections allocated or set aside
for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04(a).
(c) In the event any deposit is made to the Administrative Agent Account pursuant to Section
2.04(a)(ii)(B), the amount of such deposit shall be allocated among the Purchaser Groups ratably in
proportion to the outstanding Capital of their respective Receivable Interests. If the amount on
deposit in the Administrative Agent Account exceeds $25,000,000, then on the next Settlement Date
applicable to any Receivable Interest (or such earlier date as the Servicer may specify upon not
less than three Business Days notice to each Managing Agent), the Servicer shall distribute to each
Purchaser then holding a Receivable Interest such Purchaser’s allocable share of such deposit for
application to the reduction of the Capital of such Receivable Interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if on any Business Day after such deposit is made and prior to the distribution of all
or any portion of such deposit pursuant to this Section 2.04(c), the Servicer delivers a Servicer
Report evidencing that the Receivable Interest Percentage is less than the Maximum Receivable
Interest Percentage, the Servicer may withdraw the Collections so deposited for application in
accordance with Section 2.04(a) to the extent that, after giving effect to such withdrawal and
application, the Receivable Interest Percentage would not exceed the Maximum Receivable Interest
Percentage.
(d) In the event any Collections are set aside in respect of any Liquidating Receivable
Interest pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(iii), the Servicer shall distribute such Collections to the
relevant Purchaser(s) on or prior to the first Settlement Date for any such Receivable Interest;
provided, however, that if at any time prior to such distribution, such Receivable
Interest ceases to be a Liquidating Receivable Interest, the Servicer need not distribute such
Collections pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) but instead may apply such Collections in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.04(a).
(e) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Termination Event or any
Involuntary Bankruptcy Event, and at all times during any Rating Level 3 Period or any Rating Level
4 Period, the Servicer shall (i) transfer to the Collection Account all Collections set aside or
required to be set aside pursuant to this Section 2.04 by the Business Day following the Servicer’s
receipt of such Collections, (ii) make all distributions of such Collections pursuant to this
Section 2.04 by withdrawing such Collections from the Collection Account on the date such
distribution is to be made and (iii) not permit any withdrawals of such Collections from the
Collection Account except for the purpose of distributing such Collections in accordance with this
Section 2.04. Except as provided herein, the Servicer shall not be required to segregate any
amounts set aside by it pursuant to this Section 2.04 from its other funds.
SECTION 2.05 Application of Collections After Termination Date. (a) On the
Termination Date, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection Account all Collections held by it
on such date (including amounts previously set aside pursuant to Section 2.04(a)). On each
Business Day thereafter until the Final Payout Date, the Servicer shall deposit to the Collection
Account all Collections received prior to such Business Day that have not previously been
7
deposited to the Collection Account. The Servicer shall not make any withdrawals from the
Collection Account during such period except for the purpose of distributing such Collections in
accordance with this Section 2.05.
(b) From and after the Termination Date, the Servicer shall apply all funds on deposit in the
Collection Account on any Business Day that have not been previously applied hereunder (including,
without limitation, any investment earnings received with respect to such funds) in the following
order of priority:
(i) first, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Seller
Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent in respect of costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement of any Transaction Document or the collection of any amounts
due thereunder;
(ii) second, set aside and hold in trust for the Purchasers, the Managing
Agents and the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Yield and Fees and, if
the Servicer is a Person other than Medco or an Affiliate thereof, Servicing Fees accrued
through such day and not previously set aside, such amount to be allocated among the
Purchasers, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent and (if applicable) the Servicer
ratably in accordance with the proportion of such amounts owing to each such Person;
(iii) third, set aside in the Collection Account an amount equal to the
aggregate Capital for all outstanding Receivable Interests (to the extent not previously set
aside), such amount to be allocated among the Receivable Interests ratably in proportion to
the Capital of each;
(iv) fourth, if any Seller Obligations (other than Yield, Fees, Servicing Fees
and Capital) are then due and payable by the Seller to any Indemnified Party, pay to each
such Indemnified Party (ratably in accordance with the amounts owing to each) the Seller
Obligations so due and payable;
(v) sixth, if the Servicer is Medco or an Affiliate thereof, set aside in the
Collection Account the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee not previously set aside; and
(vi) seventh, on the Final Payout Date, pay to the Seller any remaining funds.
(c) On each Settlement Date for a Receivable Interest from and after the Termination Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and pay to the relevant Purchaser all amounts
set aside in the Collection Account in respect of the accrued Yield and the Capital of such
Receivable Interest. On each date on which any Fees are payable pursuant to the Fee Letters, the
Servicer shall pay such Fees to the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Fee Letters out of
Collections set aside for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.05.
(d) On each Servicing Fee Payment Date from and after the Termination Date, the Servicer shall
pay to the Servicer the accrued Servicing Fee out of Collections set aside for such purpose
pursuant to this Section 2.05.
8
SECTION 2.06 General Settlement Procedures.
(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, any payment
received from an Obligor of any Receivables shall be applied as a Collection of the Pool
Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest
such Receivable.
(b) If on any day any Pool Receivable (or portion thereof) becomes a Diluted Receivable, the
Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the
amount of such Diluted Receivable.
(c) If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser shall
be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor any amount received on its behalf hereunder,
such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the
Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Purchaser, as the
case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and only to the
extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
(d) Within one Business Day after the end of each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is
computed by reference to the CP Rate, the relevant Managing Agent shall furnish the Seller with an
invoice setting forth the amount of the accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees for such Fixed Period
with respect to the Receivable Interests held by the Conduit Purchaser(s) in such Managing Agent’s
Purchaser Group.
(e) All payments required to be made hereunder to any Purchaser shall be made by paying such
amount to the applicable Purchaser Group Account in accordance with Section 2.08. Upon receipt of
funds, such Managing Agent shall pay such funds to the related Purchaser(s) owed such funds in
accordance with the records maintained by such Managing Agent. If a Managing Agent shall have paid
to any Purchaser any funds that (i) must be returned for any reason (including any Event of
Bankruptcy) or (ii) exceeds that which such Purchaser was entitled to receive, such amount shall be
promptly repaid to such Managing Agent by such Purchaser.
SECTION 2.07 Yield and Fees. (a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee
(the “Servicing Fee”) of 0.25% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) on the average
daily Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables, payable in arrears on each Servicing Fee Payment
Date. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Managing Agents, the Servicer (if not an Originator,
the Seller or its designee or an Affiliate of the Seller) may, with the prior written consent of
each Managing Agent, elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average
daily Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables; provided, however, that in no
event shall the new Servicing Fee exceed 110% of the actual costs and expenses of such Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicing Fee shall be payable only from
Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payments set forth in, Sections 2.04 and
2.05. To the extent such Collections are not sufficient to pay the Servicing Fee in full, none of
the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers shall have any
liability for the deficiency.
9
(b) The Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent certain fees
(collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts and on the dates set forth in (i) the fee letter
agreement dated as of the Initial Closing Date between the Seller and the Administrative Agent (as
the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Administrative Agent Fee
Letter”) and (ii) the amended and restated fee letter dated as of even date herewith among the
Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents (as the same may be amended or restated
from time to time, the “Purchaser Fee Letter”).
(c) On each Settlement Date for a Receivable Interest, the Seller shall pay to the relevant
Managing Agent all accrued and unpaid Yield with respect to such Receivable Interest.
SECTION 2.08
Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid by the
Seller or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser hereunder
shall be paid no later than 12:00 noon (
New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds
to the applicable Purchaser Group Account. All amounts to be deposited by the Seller or the
Servicer into the Collection Account, any Purchaser Group Account or any other account shall be
deposited no later than 12:00 noon (
New York City time) on the date when due.
(b) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on
any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to
2.00% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable on demand.
(c) All computations of Yield, Fees, and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of
a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day)
elapsed, except that computations of interest and Yield based on the Alternate Base Rate shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366, as applicable). Whenever any payment or deposit to
be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the
computation of such payment or deposit. Any computations by the Administrative Agent or the
applicable Managing Agent of amounts payable by the Seller hereunder shall be binding upon the
Seller absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.09 Dividing or Combining Receivable Interests. Either the Seller or
(following a Termination Event or an Incipient Termination Event) the Administrative Agent may,
upon notice to the other party received at least three Business Days prior to the last day of any
Fixed Period in the case of the Seller giving notice, or up to the last day of such Fixed Period in
the case of the Administrative Agent giving notice, either (i) divide any Receivable Interest into
two or more Receivable Interests having an aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided
Receivable Interest, or (ii) combine any two or more Receivable Interests originating on such last
day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a single Receivable Interest having a
Capital equal to the aggregate of the Capital of such Receivable Interests; provided,
however, that no Receivable Interest owned by any Conduit Purchaser may be combined with a
Receivable Interest owned by any other Purchaser, and a Receivable Interest held by the Committed
Purchasers in any Purchaser Group may not be combined with any Receivable Interest held by
Purchasers in any other Purchaser Group.
10
SECTION 2.10 Breakage Costs.
(a) The Seller shall indemnify the Purchasers against any loss or expense incurred by the
Purchasers, either directly or indirectly, as a result of the failure of any Incremental Purchase
to be made for any reason on the date specified by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02, including
any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
funds acquired by the Purchasers (including funds obtained by issuing Promissory Notes, obtaining
deposits as loans from third parties and reemployment of funds) to fund such Incremental Purchase.
(b) The Seller further agrees to pay all Liquidation Fees associated with a reduction of the
Capital at any time.
(c) A certificate as to any loss, expense or Liquidation Fees payable pursuant to this Section
2.10 submitted by any Purchaser, through its Managing Agent, to the Seller shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.
SECTION 2.11 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
the adoption of or any change in any Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any
relevant Official Body shall make it unlawful for any Purchaser to make or maintain Receivable
Interests for which Yield is calculated by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (each a
“Eurodollar Receivable Interest”) as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the
interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make or maintain any such Eurodollar Receivable
Interest, (a) such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, its Purchaser Managing
Agent and the Seller thereof, (b) the obligation of such Purchaser to fund or maintain Eurodollar
Receivable Interests or continue Eurodollar Receivable Interests as such shall forthwith be
cancelled and (c) such Purchaser’s Receivable Interests then outstanding as Eurodollar Receivable
Interests, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Fixed Period for such Receivable
Interests or within such earlier period as required by Law into Receivable Interest that accrue
Yield based on the Alternate Base Rate (each a “Base Rate Receivable Interest”).
SECTION 2.12 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason
of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining a rate for Eurodollar Receivable Interests as provided in the definition of Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate for any Fixed Period or (ii) Committed Purchasers representing at least a majority
of the Aggregate Commitment shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that the
rates for the purpose of computing the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate do not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Committed Purchasers of funding a Eurodollar Receivable Interests that the
Seller has requested be outstanding as a Eurodollar Receivable Interest during such Fixed Period,
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in
writing, to the Seller and each Managing Agent at least two Business Days prior to the first day of
such Fixed Period. Unless the Seller shall have notified the applicable Managing Agent upon receipt
of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such Eurodollar
Receivable Interest, any Receivable Interests that were requested to be funded as Eurodollar
Receivable Interests shall be Base Rate Receivable
11
Interests and any Receivable Interests that were requested to be converted into or continued
as Eurodollar Receivable Interests shall be converted into Base Rate Receivable Interests. Until
any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Receivable Interests
shall be funded as, continued as, or converted into, Eurodollar Receivable Interests.
SECTION 2.13 Indemnity for Reserves and Expenses. (a) If the adoption of or any
change in any Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Indemnified
Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank
or other Official Body made subsequent to the date hereof (other than any such change that relates
to Taxes, which are governed by Section 2.14):
(i) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans or purchases by, or
other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such
Indemnified Party which are not otherwise covered by the adjustment to the
Eurodollar Rate for the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage as contemplated by the
definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”; or
(ii) does or shall impose on such Indemnified Party any other condition
affecting this Agreement or any Receivable Interest or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Indemnified Party of
making or maintaining Receivable Interests (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Receivable Interest) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Indemnified Party
hereunder, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay such Indemnified Party, upon
demand from such Indemnified Party, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Indemnified
Party for such additional costs or reduction suffered which such Indemnified Party reasonably deems
to be material as determined by such Indemnified Party with respect to its Receivable Interests. A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such
Indemnified Party, through its Managing Agent, to the Seller setting forth, in reasonable detail,
the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable Law or
bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body, or any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the
force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent) as a consequence of such Indemnified
Party’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto or otherwise as a consequence of the
transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent)
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration
its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be
material, then from time to time, within fifteen days after demand by such Indemnified Party
through its Managing Agent, the Seller shall pay to such Managing
12
Agent, for the benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Indemnified Party, through
its Managing Agent, to the Seller setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the
calculation thereof, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Indemnified Party to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to demand such
compensation; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to
compensate an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Indemnified Party notifies the Seller of
the change, event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
further, that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.14 Indemnity for Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to
be made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by the Servicer or the Seller shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding net income, profits or branch profits taxes that are imposed by the United States
and franchise, profits, branch profits and net income taxes that are imposed on an Indemnified
Party by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is
organized or in which it is a citizen, resident or domiciliary, or the jurisdiction in which any
office making or participating in a purchase hereunder is located, or in each case any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller or
the Servicer shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Indemnified Party, (i) the Seller shall make an additional payment to such
Indemnified Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), such Indemnified Party
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller or
the Servicer, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Seller agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or
registration of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”); provided that the Indemnified Party shall notify Seller prior to
the Initial Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Indemnified Party became a party to this
Agreement) that such Other Taxes imposed by (i) a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which an
Indemnified Party is organized or in which it is a citizen, resident or domiciliary, or (ii) a
foreign jurisdiction in which any office making or participating in a purchase hereunder is
13
located, (including, in each case, any political subdivision thereof), will be due and owing
to the extent that such Indemnified Party has knowledge of the same prior to the Initial Closing
Date.
(c) The Seller will indemnify each Indemnified Party for the full amount of Taxes or Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Indemnified Party and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be
made within thirty days from the date the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor (and a
copy of such demand shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent for such
Indemnified Party’s Group). A certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the
Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agent for such Indemnified Party’s Group by such
Indemnified Party, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
(d) Each Purchaser or Participant who is organized outside the United States (each, a
“Non-U.S. Person”) shall, prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person who
becomes a Purchaser or a Participant after the date hereof, prior to the date on which it so
becomes a Purchaser or a Participant), (x) deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent such
properly completed and duly executed certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the
IRC or Treasury regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required to establish that such
payment is (i) not subject to withholding under the IRC because such payment is effectively
connected with the conduct by such Indemnified Party of a trade or business in the United States or
(ii) totally exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty and (y)
upon request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, and to the extent it may do so under
applicable law, furnish any other government forms which are necessary or required under an
applicable tax treaty or otherwise by law to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax;
provided, however, that in the event that a Non-U.S. Person is classified as other
than a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Non-U.S. Person agrees to provide any
other form certificate or statement of exemption necessary to fully establish such Non-U.S.
Person’s (and, if applicable, such Non-U.S. Person’s beneficial owners’) entitlement to a complete
exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes on all amounts to be received by such Non-U.S. Person (or,
if applicable, such Non-U.S. Person’s beneficial owners’) pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents. Each such Purchaser that changes its funding office shall promptly notify
the Seller and the Administrative Agent of such change and, upon written request from the Seller or
the Administrative Agent, shall deliver any new certificates, documents or other evidence required
pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by
the Seller hereunder. Unless the Seller and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other
documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States
withholding tax, notwithstanding paragraph (a), the Seller or the Administrative Agent shall
withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or
for any Indemnified Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, and
the applicable provisions of paragraph (g) below shall apply to such Purchaser.
14
(e) Further, each Non-U.S. Person agrees (i) to deliver to the Seller and the Administrative
Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Purchaser (or, in the case of a Participant, to the
Purchaser from which the related participation shall have been transferred) two further duly
completed and signed copies of any forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.14(d), or
successor and related applicable forms, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes
obsolete and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent
form(s) previously delivered by it to the Seller and Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, the
assigning Purchaser (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Purchaser from which the related
participation shall have been transferred) in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations
and (ii) to notify promptly the Seller and the Administrative Agent, and, if applicable, the
assigning Purchaser (or, in the case of a Participant, the Purchaser from which the related
participation shall have been transferred) if it is no longer able to deliver, or if it is required
to withdraw or cancel, any form or statement previously delivered by it.
(f) Each Purchaser or Participant that is not a Non-U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller
and the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the assigning Purchaser (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Purchaser from which the related participation shall have been transferred) two
duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor
form) unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller that it is otherwise
eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other applicable withholding tax. Each
such Purchaser or Participant shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent and, if
applicable, the assigning Purchaser (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Purchaser from which
the related participation shall have been transferred) two further properly completed and duly
executed forms and statements (or applicable successor forms) at or before the time any such form
or statement becomes obsolete.
(g) The Seller shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Purchaser in respect of Taxes
and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if the obligation to pay such amounts
would not have arisen but for a failure by such Purchaser to comply with the provisions of
paragraphs (b), (d), (e) and (f) above unless such Purchaser is unable to comply with paragraphs
(b), (d), (e) and (f) because of (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official
interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax
treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in
each case after the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person who became a Purchaser after the
date hereof, after the date on which it so became a Purchaser).
(h) If the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or Participant determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of taxes paid or indemnified by the Seller, it
shall promptly pay such refund to the Seller, but only to the extent of amounts paid or indemnified
by the Seller with respect to Taxes, provided, however, that the Seller agrees to
promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Purchaser or Participant,
as the case may be, if it receives notice from the applicable Purchaser or Participant that such
person is required to repay such refund, plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant governmental authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or Participant to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other
Person.
15
SECTION 2.15 Security Interest. As security for the performance by the Seller of all
the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller (whether as Seller or otherwise) to
be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment
when due of all Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for its
benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Indemnified Parties, and hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Indemnified Parties, a
security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to:

(whether or not earned by performance), (ii) all security interests and property subject
thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under
or pursuant to such Contract, (iii) all rights of the Originator to receive proceeds of any
insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to such Contract, (iv) claims of the
Originator for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under such Contract, and
(v) the right of the Originator to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies
thereunder;
(c) the Deposit Accounts and the Collection Account, including, without limitation, (i)
all funds and other evidences of payment held therein and all certificates and instruments,
if any, from time to time representing or evidencing any of such accounts or any funds and
other evidences of payment held therein, (ii) all investment property and other financial
assets held in, or acquired with funds from, such accounts and all certificates and
instruments from time to time representing or evidencing such investment property and
financial assets, (iii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time
to time hereafter delivered or transferred to, or otherwise possessed by, the Administrative
Agent in substitution for any of the then existing accounts and (iv) all interest,
dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets, investment property and other property from
time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for
any and all of such accounts;
(d) all other assets of the Seller, whether now owned and existing or hereafter
acquired or arising, including, without limitation, all accounts, chattel paper, goods,
instruments, investment property, deposit accounts and general intangibles (as those terms
are defined in the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of
New York), in which
the Seller has any interest; and
(e) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all Proceeds of any and all of the
foregoing.
SECTION 2.16 Optional Liquidation. The Seller may at any time direct that
Reinvestment Purchases cease for the Receivable Interests of all Purchasers. Any such direction
shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent and the Servicer at least two
16
Business Days’ prior written (including telecopy or other facsimile communication) notice
(each a “Reduction Notice”) specifying the date on which such Reinvestment Purchases shall
cease and, if desired, when such Reinvestment Purchases shall re-commence, identified as when the
aggregate outstanding Capital is reduced by a specified amount (the “Reduction Amount”).
If the Seller does not so specify the date on which Reinvestment Purchases shall re-commence, it
may cause Reinvestment Purchases to re-commence at any time before the Termination Date, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, by notifying the Administrative Agent and the Servicer
in writing (including by telecopy or other facsimile communication) at least one Business Day
before the date on which it desires such Reinvestment Purchases to re-commence.
SECTION 2.17 Optional Repurchase. The Seller may at any time at its option elect to
repurchase all or any portion of the Receivable Interests, such repurchase to be made ratably among
the Purchasers then holding Receivable Interests in proportion to the Capital of each. Any such
repurchase shall be made on not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (each a
“Repurchase Notice”) specifying the date on which such repurchase shall occur (the
“Repurchase Date”) and the aggregate Capital of the Receivable Interest to be repurchased
(the “Repurchase Amount”). On the Repurchase Date, the Seller shall pay the Repurchase
Amount to the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the outstanding Capital of their respective
Receivable Interests.
SECTION 2.18 Termination of Purchaser Groups. If any Indemnified Party in a Purchaser
Group makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.13 then the Seller may, at its option, take
either of the actions specified below.
(i) The Seller may remove such Purchaser Group and terminate the Commitments of
the Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group by paying to the Managing Agent for
such Purchaser Group an amount (the “Payout Amount”) equal to the sum of
(i) the aggregate Capital held by the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group, (ii) all
Yield accrued and to accrue thereon through the last day of the applicable Fixed
Period(s) to which such Capital has been allocated, (iii) all accrued and unpaid
Fees owing to the members of such Purchaser Group and (iv) all other Seller
Obligations owing to the members of such Purchaser Group under the Transaction
Documents accrued through the date of such payment. Any such removal and
termination shall be made upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice delivered
by the Seller to the applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent. The
Payout Amount for any Purchaser Group shall be calculated by the relevant Managing
Agent and notified to the Seller, which calculation shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error. Upon such removal and termination, (x) the members of such
Purchaser Group shall cease to be parties to this Agreement and the Commitments and
Conduit Purchase Limits of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group shall be reduced
to zero and (y) the Purchase Limit will be reduced by an amount equal to the
Commitments (determined immediately prior to such termination) of the Committed
Purchasers in such Purchaser Group.
(ii) The Seller may declare the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date to have
occurred for all Purchasers in such Purchaser Group. Any such
17
declaration shall be made upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice
delivered by the Seller to the applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative
Agent. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, (w) the Conduit Purchase
Limit(s) and Purchaser Group Limit of such Purchaser Group shall be deemed to have
been reduced to zero and Purchasers in such Purchaser Group shall have no further
right or obligation to make any Purchases hereunder, (x) Amortization Date shall be
deemed to have occurred for all Receivable Interests held by the Purchasers in such
Purchaser Group, (y) the Capital allocable to such Receivable Interests shall be
reduced out of Collections available for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04 or
2.05, as applicable and (z) on each date on which such Capital is so reduced the
Purchase Limit shall be deemed to be reduced by a corresponding amount. Once the
Capital of such Receivable Interests has been reduced to zero and the members of
such Purchaser Group shall have received payment in full of all accrued Yield, Fees
and other Seller Obligations owing to them, the members of such Purchaser Group
shall cease to be parties to this Agreement.

valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its

equity or at law.

the initial Incremental Purchase to be made under this Agreement, a copy of which has been
furnished to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, fairly presents the financial
condition of the Seller as of such date, in accordance with GAAP. Since its formation no change,

however, that so long as no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event has occurred
and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may only request an Accountant’s Report at the
Servicer’s expense once per calendar year (not including the Accountants’ Report relating to the
Interim Audit); and provided, further, that any follow-up audit resulting from a
material discrepancy disclosed in such report shall also be at the Servicer’s expense. The

applicable Laws and preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises,

would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Records and Books of Account. The Servicer will maintain and implement
administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate
records evidencing Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the
originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information

Receivable.
(e) Change in Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer will not make any change in
the Credit and Collection Policy, except for any such change that would not (i) impair the

Credit and Collection Policy, it shall, promptly following such change, provide the Administrative
Agent and each Managing Agent with an updated Credit and Collection Policy and a summary of all
material changes.
(f) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer will not add or
terminate any Deposit Account from those listed in Schedule IV to this Agreement, or make any

executed Control Agreement with respect to each new Deposit Account. Each Deposit Account shall be
maintained at all times in the name of the Seller.
(g) Deposits to Deposit Accounts. The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to remit

such Collections to be either (i) deposited into a Deposit Account or (ii) in the case of checks
received by the Servicer, mailed to a Deposit Account Bank for deposit into a Deposit Account. The
Servicer will not permit funds which do not constitute Collections of Receivables from being
deposited into any Deposit Account.

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION
AND COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 6.01 Designation of Servicer. The servicing, billing, administration and
collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Servicer so designated hereunder from
time to time. Until the Administrative Agent (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority
Managing Agents) gives notice to the Seller of the designation of a new Servicer (which notice may
be given at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Replacement
Event), Medco is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of,
the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Medco may not resign from the obligations and
liabilities hereby imposed on it, unless required to do so by law as evidenced by an opinion of
counsel in form and substance satisfactory to each Managing Agent. The Administrative Agent (with
the consent or at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents), at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuation of a Servicer Replacement Event, may designate as Servicer any Person
(including itself) to succeed Medco or any successor Servicer, on such terms and conditions as the
Administrative Agent and such successor Servicer shall agree. The Servicer may, with the prior
consent of the Administrative Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing,
administration or collection of the Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the
Servicer’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any
Person that has entered into a subcontract with the Servicer shall be deemed to be an action or
omission by the Servicer (including, without limitation, for purposes of determining whether any
Receivable is a Diluted Receivable and for purposes of Sections 6.06 and 10.01).
SECTION 6.02 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all
such actions as may be necessary or advisable to xxxx and collect each Pool Receivable from time to
time, all in accordance in all material respects with applicable Laws, with reasonable care and
diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the terms of the Contracts.
The Seller, each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent hereby appoint the Servicer, from time to
time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, as their agent to enforce their respective rights and
interests in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts. In performing
its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise the same care and apply the same policies as it
would exercise and apply if it owned such Receivables and shall act in such manner as it reasonably
deems to be in the best interests of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent. Following the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Replacement Event the Administrative Agent
(with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) shall have the sole right to
direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool
Receivable or any Related Security with respect thereto.
(b) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with Article II.
(c) If no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer, may, in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust
35
the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable as the Servicer deems appropriate to maximize
Collections thereof; provided, however, that the classification of any such
Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable shall not be affected by any such
extension; provided, further, that if such Receivable is an Eligible Receivable,
the Servicer shall not amend or modify such Receivable or any term or condition of any Contract
related thereto in a manner that would cause such Receivable to cease to be an Eligible Receivable;
provided, further, that the Servicer shall not, nor permit the Originator to,
amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any term or condition of any Receivable or any
Contract related thereto, unless such amendment, modification or waiver (i) is made in accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy and (ii) could not reasonably be expected to cause any
existing Receivable to cease to be an Eligible Receivable or otherwise have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Servicer shall notify each Managing Agent of any such extension or adjustment for a
particular Obligor during any calendar year that affects Pool Receivables having an aggregate
Outstanding Balance of $50,000,000 or more. Following the occurrence and during the continuation
of a Termination Event, the Servicer may grant such extensions or adjustments only with the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting with the consent or at the direction of the
Majority Managing Agents). In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make any Purchaser, any
Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent a party to any litigation involving the Transaction
Documents or the Receivables without such Purchaser’s, such Managing Agent’s or the Administrative
Agent’s prior written consent.
(d) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Managing
Agents and each Purchaser, in accordance with their respective interests, all documents,
instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or
relate to Pool Receivables or Related Security. The Servicer shall xxxx the Seller’s and the
Originator’s master data processing records evidencing the Pool Receivables with a legend,
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein
have been sold. At the request of the Administrative Agent following a Termination Event or
Involuntary Bankruptcy Event, the Servicer shall xxxx each Contract and each invoice which evidence
or relate to Pool Receivables with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold and shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a copy (which may be in electronic form) of each invoice evidencing each Receivable.
(e) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt and identification thereof,
and in any event within one Business Day, turn over to the Seller or such other Person as may be
entitled thereto any cash collections or other cash proceeds received in the Deposit Accounts and
not constituting Collections of Receivables.

Receivables originated during the immediately preceding Business Day, the Net Receivables Pool
Balance at the end of the immediately preceding Business Day, and such other information as the
Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request.
(d) Reports following Termination Event. On each Business Day after the occurrence of
a Termination Event, to the extent the Servicer is not otherwise required to deliver Daily Reports
pursuant to this Section 6.03, the Servicer shall deliver to each Managing Agent a daily report
setting forth Collections received on the previous Business Day and the Outstanding Balance of
Eligible Receivables as of the close of business on the previous Business Day, and such other
information as the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request.
(e) Transmission of Servicer Reports. The Servicer shall transmit each Servicer
Report to each Managing Agent by electronic mail. In addition, the Servicer shall transmit a copy
of each such Servicer Report to the Managing Agents by facsimile (certified by a Financial Officer
of the Servicer or such other employee of the Servicer as shall have primary responsibility for the
preparation of such report and shall have been authorized to certify Servicer Reports hereunder by
a Financial Officer).

nature of such change (or withdrawal).
(h) Other Information. The Servicer shall provide to each Managing Agent, promptly
upon request, such other information respecting the Receivables or the condition or operations,
financial or otherwise, of the Servicer (including, without limitation, information regarding any
pending or threatened litigation) as the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may from time
to time reasonably request.
SECTION 6.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. (a) At any time following
the occurrence and during the continuation of (i) a Termination Event, (ii) an Involuntary
Bankruptcy Event, (iii) Rating Level 3 Period or (iv) Rating Level 4 Period, the Administrative

a Rating Level 4 Period:
(i) At the Administrative Agent’s request (acting on its own initiative or at

Receivable Interests under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly
to the Administrative Agent or its designee.
(ii) At the Administrative Agent’s request (acting on its own initiative or at
the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) and at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s
expense, the Seller and the Servicer shall (A) assemble all of the documents,
instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and
disks) that evidence or relate to the Receivables and the related Contracts and
Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the
Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent at a
place selected by the Administrative Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all
cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting

designee.
(c) Each of the Seller and the Servicer authorizes the Administrative Agent, and hereby
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest,
with full power of substitution and with full authority in place of the Seller or the Servicer,
following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event or any Rating Level 4
Period, to take any and all steps in the Seller’s or the Servicer’s name and on behalf of the
Seller or the Servicer that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative
Agent, to collect amounts due under the Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the
Seller’s, the Servicer’s or the Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing

any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative
Agent’s costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Servicer or the Seller, as applicable.
38
(b) The Seller and the Originator shall perform their respective obligations under the
Contracts related to the Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests had not been
sold and the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing
Agents and the Committed Purchasers of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the
Originator or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or
related Contracts. None of the Administrative Agent, the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents or
the Committed Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or
related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller or
the Originator thereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent’s rights and powers under this Article VI shall not subject the
Administrative Agent to any liability if any action taken by it proves to be inadequate or invalid,
nor shall such powers confer any obligation whatsoever upon the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 6.06 Indemnities by the Servicer. Without limiting any other rights that the
Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under applicable law, and in consideration of its
appointment as Servicer, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and

(vii) any Servicing Fees or other costs and expenses payable to any replacement
Servicer, to the extent in excess of the Servicing Fees payable to Medco in its
capacity as Servicer hereunder;
(viii) any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising
from any activity by the Servicer or its Affiliates in servicing, administering,
billing or collecting any Receivable; or
(ix) any change in the Credit and Collection Policy which impairs the
collectibility of any Receivable or the ability of the Servicer to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for purposes of the
Servicer’s indemnification obligations in clauses (i) and (iv) of this Section 6.06, any
representation, warranty or covenant qualified by the occurrence or non-occurrence of a Material
Adverse Effect or similar concepts of materiality shall be deemed to be not so qualified. It is
expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto (x) that the foregoing indemnification is not
intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of collectibility or payment of the Receivables
and (y) that nothing in this Section 6.06 shall require the Servicer to indemnify any Person for
Receivables that are not collected, not paid or uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency,
bankruptcy, or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor except to the extent of any
Indemnified Amounts arising from the improper characterization of any such Receivables as Eligible
Receivables.
SECTION 6.07 Administrative Agent Account. (a) At the request of the Administrative
Agent, upon the earliest to occur of (i) 30 days after the commencement of a Ratings Xxxxx 0
Xxxxxx, (xx) two Business Days after the commencement of a Ratings Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
0 Xxxxxx, (xxx) the Termination Date or (iv) the occurrence and continuance of any Termination
Event or any Involuntary Bankruptcy Event, the Servicer shall (and if the Servicer fails to do so,
the Administrative Agent may) cause to be established with Citibank (or another bank satisfactory
to each Managing Agent) in the name of the Administrative Agent, a segregated account (the
“Administrative Agent Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds
deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Purchasers. Upon the establishment of such
account, such account shall constitute the “Collection Account” for all purposes hereunder. The
Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, as soon as
practicable and in any event no later than two Business Days after such Administrative Agent
Account is required to be established as provided above, a Control Agreement with respect to such
account in substantially the form attached as
40
Annex B-2 or in such other form as the Administrative Agent may approve, duly executed by the
Seller, the Servicer and the bank at which such account is maintained.
(b) Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control over the Administrative Agent Account and all monies, instruments
and other property from time to time deposited in or credited to the Administrative Agent Account;
provided, however, that, until notified to the contrary by the Administrative
Agent, the Servicer shall have the right to withdraw funds from the Administrative Agent Account
for application in accordance with Sections 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable. The Servicer shall cause
the Administrative Agent Account to be subject at all times to a Control Agreement, duly executed
by the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the bank at which the Administrative
Agent Account is maintained.
(c) The Servicer may invest funds on deposit in the Administrative Agent Account, reinvest
proceeds of any such investments which may mature or be sold, and invest interest or other income
received from any such investments, in each case in such Permitted Investments as the Servicer may
select; provided, however, that each such Permitted Investment shall have a
maturity date no later than the next succeeding Settlement Date. Such proceeds, interest or income
which are not so invested or reinvested in Permitted Investments shall, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, be deposited and held in the Administrative Agent Account. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Seller, the Servicer or any
other Person for, or with respect to, any decline in value of amounts on deposit in the
Administrative Agent Account. Permitted Investments from time to time purchased and held pursuant
to this Section 6.07 shall be referred to as “Collateral Securities” and shall, for
purposes of this Agreement, constitute part of the funds held in the Administrative Agent Account
in amounts equal to their respective outstanding principal amounts. Each such Permitted Investment
shall be made in the name of the Administrative Agent or its designee.
(d) Following the occurrence of any Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may, at any
time or from time to time after funds are either deposited in the Administrative Agent Account or
invested in Collateral Securities, and after selling, if necessary, any Collateral Securities,
withdraw funds then held in the Administrative Agent Account and remit the same to the respective
Purchaser Group Account for each Purchaser Group (ratably in proportion to the Capital held by the
Purchasers in each such Purchaser Group or, to the extent no such Capital remains outstanding, in
proportion to the remaining Seller Obligations then owing to the members of each such Purchaser
Group). The Seller agrees that Permitted Investments are of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market and, accordingly, no notice of sale of any Permitted Investments shall be
required. To the extent notice of sale of any Collateral Securities shall be required by law, at
least ten days’ notice to the Seller of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned.
(e) Except as expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right of
withdrawal with respect to the Administrative Agent Account. None of the Seller, the Servicer or
any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Seller or the Servicer shall
41
have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Administrative Agent Account except,
in the case of the Servicer, for withdrawals made in accordance with Section 2.04 or 2.05, as
applicable. The Administrative Agent may at any time terminate the Servicer’s right to make
withdrawals from the Administrative Agent Account. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall
make all withdrawals and distributions from the Administrative Agent Account required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, that would otherwise be made by the Servicer.
(f) The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any funds held in the Administrative Agent Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care
if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative
Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have
any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any such funds.
(g) The Servicer shall cause the bank at which the Administrative Agent Account is maintained
to deliver a duplicate copy of all statements relating to the Administrative Agent Account directly
to the Administrative Agent.
(h) On the Final Payout Date, any funds remaining on deposit in the Administrative Agent
Account shall be paid to the Seller.
SECTION 6.08 Servicer Replacement Event. At any time following the occurrence and
during the continuation of (i) any Termination Event or (ii) a Rating Level 4 Period (each, a
“Servicer Replacement Event”), the Administrative Agent may (with the consent or at the
direction of the Majority Managing Agents) designate another Person to succeed Medco as the
Servicer. If replaced as Servicer, Medco agrees that it will (i) terminate, and cause each
existing sub-servicer to terminate, its collection activities in a manner and to the extent
requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate the transition to a new Servicer and (ii)
transfer to the Administrative Agent (or its designee), or (to the extent permitted by applicable
Law and contract) license to the Administrative Agent (or its designee) the use of, all software
used in connection with the billing and collection of the Receivables. To the extent any such
transfer or license would require the payment of any license fee or other amount the Servicer
agrees to pay such fee or other amount out of its own funds promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cooperate with and assist any successor Servicer in the
performance of its responsibilities as Servicer (including, without limitation, providing access
to, and transferring, to such successor Servicer all records related to the Receivables and
allowing (to the extent permitted by applicable law and contract) the successor Servicer to use all
licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect or obtain or store information
regarding the Receivables). Notwithstanding its removal as Servicer, Medco irrevocably agrees (to
the extent requested to do so by the Administrative Agent) (i) to continue to xxxx the Receivables
and to provide all supporting data required to be delivered to, or requested by, the Obligors
pursuant to the Contracts and (ii) to act as the data-processing agent for any successor Servicer,
in each case in substantially the same manner as Medco conducted such functions while it acted as
the Servicer.

under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied
obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have
assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, any Transaction Party, the
Conduit Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers or the Managing Agents. Notwithstanding any provision

ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law.

directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this
45
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s servicing, administering
or collecting Receivables as Servicer), in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a)
may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for a Managing Agent, the Seller or the
Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the

Managing Agent, Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Transaction

notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which
may be by telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or
parties.
SECTION 8.03 CNAI and Affiliates. The obligation of Citibank to purchase Receivable
Interests under this Agreement may be satisfied by CNAI or any of its Affiliates. With respect to
any Receivable Interest or interest therein owned by it, CNAI and its Affiliates shall have the

though it were not the Administrative Agent. CNAI and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in
any kind of business with the Transaction Parties or any Obligor, any of their respective
Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Transaction Parties or
any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if CNAI were not the Administrative Agent
and without any duty to account therefor to the Managing Agents, the Conduit Purchasers or the
Committed Purchasers.
SECTION 8.04 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Each Committed Purchaser agrees
to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transaction Parties),
ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Committed Purchaser, from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, provided that no Committed Purchaser
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning

with reasonable care.
SECTION 8.06 Action or Inaction by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Managing Agents,
and assurance of its indemnification by the Committed Purchasers, as it deems appropriate. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the
direction of the Majority Managing Agents, and such request or direction and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Conduit Purchasers, Committed Purchasers
and the Managing Agents. The Purchasers, the Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent agree
that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i)
specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all the Managing Agents or all the Purchasers or
(ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any
Managing Agent or any Purchaser, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the
advice or concurrence of the Majority Managing Agents.
SECTION 8.07 Notice of Events of Termination; Action by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Incipient Termination Event or of any Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from any Managing Agent, Purchaser or the Seller stating that an Incipient
Termination Event or Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Incipient
Termination Event or Termination Event. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it
shall promptly give notice thereof to each Managing Agent whereupon each Managing Agent shall
promptly give notice thereof to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action concerning an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event or any
other matter hereunder as may be directed by the Majority Managing Agents (subject to the other
provisions of this Article VIII), but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the
Purchasers.
SECTION 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Parties. Each Managing
Agent and Purchaser expressly acknowledges (i) that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and (ii)
that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Transaction Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any other
Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and
will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations,
property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of each Transaction Party
and the Receivables and Contracts and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or
omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered
under any Transaction Document
47
by the Administrative Agent to any Managing Agent or Purchaser, the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Managing Agent or Purchaser with any information
concerning the Transaction Parties or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the
Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates.
SECTION 8.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon at
least thirty (30) days notice to the Seller, the Servicer and each Managing Agent, resign as
Administrative Agent. Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until
a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Managing Agents and has accepted such
appointment. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Managing Agents within 30 days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Majority Managing Agents,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall have
short-term debt ratings of at least A-1 from S&P and P-1 from Xxxxx’x and shall be either a
commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 or an Affiliate of
such an institution. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Majority Managing Agents within 60 days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice
of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Majority Managing Agents,
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
successor Administrative Agent shall have short-term debt ratings of at least A-1 from S&P and P-1
from Xxxxx’x, and shall be either a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $250,000,000 or an Affiliate of such an institution. Upon such acceptance of its appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of Section 6.06, Article X and this Article VIII shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative
Agent.
ARTICLE IX
THE MANAGING AGENTS
SECTION 9.01 Authorization and Action. Each Conduit Purchaser and each Committed
Purchaser which belongs to the same Purchaser Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Managing
Agent for such Purchaser Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such

with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Managing Agent shall have any duties
other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or
liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against any Managing
Agent. No Managing Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or
relationship of trust or agency with any Transaction Party, Conduit Purchaser or Committed
Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no
event shall any Managing Agent ever

be required to take any action which exposes such Managing Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law.
SECTION 9.02 Managing Agent’s Reliance, Etc. No Managing Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be

Agreement or any other Transaction Document by acting upon any notice (including notice by
telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 9.03 Managing Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Receivable Interest
or interests therein owned by it, each Managing Agent shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement as any Committed Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a
Managing Agent. A Managing Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of
business with any Transaction Party or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any
Person who may do business with or own securities of any Transaction Party or any Obligor or any of
their respective Affiliates, all as if such Managing Agent were not a Managing Agent and without
any duty to account therefor to any Conduit Purchasers or Committed Purchasers.
SECTION 9.04 Indemnification of Managing Agents. Each Committed Purchaser in any
Purchaser Group agrees to indemnify the Managing Agent for such Purchaser Group (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Transaction Parties), ratably according to the proportion of the Percentage of
such Committed Purchaser to the aggregate Percentages of all Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser
Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Managing Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such
Managing Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, provided that no
Committed Purchaser shall
49
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Managing Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Managing Agent may execute any of its duties
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. No Managing Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
SECTION 9.06 Action or Inaction by Managing Agent. Each Managing Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed
Purchasers in its Purchaser Group and assurance of its indemnification by the Committed Purchasers
in its Purchaser Group, as it deems appropriate. Each Managing Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Committed Purchasers in its
Purchaser Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Purchaser Group, and such
request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
all Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group.
SECTION 9.07 Notice of Events of Termination. No Managing Agent shall be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Incipient Termination Event or of any Termination
Event unless such Managing Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other
Managing Agent, any Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser or the Seller stating that an
Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such
Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event. If a Managing Agent receives such a notice, it
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its
Purchaser Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Managing
Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). The Managing Agent may take such action concerning
an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event as may be directed by Committed Purchasers in
its Purchaser Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Purchaser Group (subject to
the other provisions of this Article IX), but until such Managing Agent receives such directions,
such Managing Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as such Managing Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit
Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group.
SECTION 9.08 Non-Reliance on Managing Agent and Other Parties. Except to the extent
otherwise agreed to in writing between a Conduit Purchaser and its Managing Agent, each Conduit
Purchaser and Committed Purchaser in the same Purchaser Group expressly acknowledges that neither
the Managing Agent for its Purchaser Group nor any of such Managing Agent’s directors, officers,
agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such
Managing Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transaction Parties,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Managing Agent. Each Conduit
Purchaser and Committed Purchaser in the same Purchaser Group represents and warrants to the
Managing Agent for such Purchaser Group
50
that, independently and without reliance upon such Managing Agent, any other Managing Agent,
the Administrative Agent or any other Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial
and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties and the Receivables and
Contracts and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any
Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction
Document by a Managing Agent to any Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser in its Purchaser
Group, no Managing Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Conduit Purchaser or
Committed Purchaser in its Purchaser Group with any information concerning the Transaction Parties
or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of such Managing Agent or any of its
directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
SECTION 9.09 Successor Managing Agent. Any Managing Agent may, upon at least thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer and the Conduit Purchasers
and Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, resign as Managing Agent for its Purchaser Group.
Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Managing Agent is appointed in the
manner prescribed by the relevant Asset Purchase Agreement or, in the absence of any provisions in
such Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the appointment of a successor Managing Agent, until a
successor Managing Agent is appointed by the Conduit Purchaser(s) in such Purchaser Group (with the
consent of Committed Purchasers representing a majority of the Commitments in such Purchaser Group)
and has accepted such appointment. If no successor Managing Agent shall have been so appointed
within 30 days after the departing Managing Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the
departing Managing Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, appoint a
successor Managing Agent for such Purchaser Group, which successor Managing Agent shall have
short-term debt ratings of at least A-1 from S&P and P-1 from Xxxxx’x and shall be either a
commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 or an Affiliate of
such an institution. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Managing Agent for such Purchaser
Group hereunder by a successor Managing Agent, such successor Managing Agent shall succeed to and
become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Managing Agent, and the retiring
Managing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.
After any retiring Managing Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Section 6.06, Article
X and this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was a Managing Agent.
SECTION 9.10 Reliance on Managing Agent. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a
Managing Agent or by any Conduit Purchaser or Committed Purchaser in such Managing Agent’s
Purchaser Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Managing Agent is acting for
the benefit and on behalf of each of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its
Purchaser Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such
Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Managing Agent has been duly authorized and approved by
all necessary action on the part of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its
Purchaser Group.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 10.01 Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights that the
Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Conduit Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers, the
Program Support Providers or any of their respective Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each
Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, deficiencies,
costs, disbursements and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, amounts paid

Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of
Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a)

provided in this Agreement) for Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability of the Obligor to pay or (c) any income, franchise,

result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable

Eligible Receivable;
(ii) any representation, warranty, certification, report or other statement
made or deemed made by any Transaction Party (or any of their respective officers)

of
52
the property described in Section 2.15, in each case free and clear of any
Adverse Claim;
(v) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or
other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction

reinvestment or at any subsequent time;
(vi) any dispute, claim or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of an
Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense
based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms), or any other claim relating to any Contract or relating to billing or
collection activities with respect to any such Contract or any Receivable (if such
billing or collection activities were performed by the Seller or any of its
Affiliates acting as Servicer) or relating to any Contract related thereto;
(vii) any failure of any Transaction Party to perform its duties or obligations
in accordance with the provisions hereof and each other Transaction Document or to

in all respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable
and the related Contract;
(viii) any products liability, environmental or other claim arising out of or
in connection with merchandise, goods or services which are the subject of any
Contract or the sale of which gave rise to any Receivable;
(ix) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other
funds;

to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of
Purchases or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable

(xiii) the failure by any Transaction Party to pay when due any taxes,
including, without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for purposes of the
Seller’s indemnification obligations in clauses (ii) and (vii) of this Article X, any
53
representation, warranty or covenant qualified by the occurrence or non-occurrence of a
Material Adverse Effect or similar concepts of materiality shall be deemed to be not so qualified.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.01 Amendments, Etc. No failure on the part of the Managing Agents, the
Purchasers or the Administrative Agent 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. No amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Transaction Party
therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent, each Managing
Agent and the Majority Committed Purchasers (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the
Seller and the Servicer), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however,
that the consent of the Seller shall not be required for any amendment which modifies the
representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Servicer at any time when the
Servicer is not the Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator; provided,
further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each
Purchaser (or, in the case of clauses (c) and (d) below, each Purchaser having its fees reduced or
delayed or its Scheduled Commitment Termination Date extended, as applicable) in addition to the
Administrative Agent:
(a) amend the definitions of Eligible Receivable, Delinquent Receivable,
Defaulted Receivable, Net Receivables Pool Balance, Loss Reserve, Dilution Reserve,
Yield and Fee Reserve or Total Reserve contained in this Agreement, or change the
calculation of the Receivable Interests as set forth in such definition;
(b) reduce the amount of Capital or Yield that is payable on account of any
Receivable Interest or delay any scheduled date for payment thereof;
(c) reduce fees payable by the Seller to the Managing Agents, the Conduit
Purchasers or the Committed Purchasers or delay the dates on which such fees are
payable;
(d) extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date for such Purchaser (except
as set forth in the definition thereof); or
(f) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Majority
Committed Purchasers”;
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase the
Commitment of any Committed Purchaser or the Conduit Purchase Limit of any Conduit Purchaser unless
in writing and signed by such Committed Purchaser or such Conduit Purchaser, as the case may be,
and the relevant Managing Agent.
54
SECTION 11.02 Notices, Etc. Except as provided below, all communications and notices
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission
or similar writing) and shall be given to the other party at its address or telecopy number
specified below or at such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for
the purposes of notice to such party. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective
(i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in
this Section 11.02 and confirmation is received, (ii) if given by mail three (3) Business Days
following such posting, postage prepaid, U.S. certified or registered, (iii) if given by overnight
courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit thereof with a national overnight courier service, or
(iv) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 11.02.
However, anything in this Section 11.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent to effect Purchases and Fixed Period
and Yield Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person which the Administrative
Agent or such Managing Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Seller. The
Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent a written
confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller. However, the
absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written
confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent or
such Managing Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent shall govern
absent manifest error.

SECTION 11.03 Assignability. (a) This Agreement and each Purchasers’ rights and
obligations hereunder (including ownership of each Receivable Interest) shall be assignable by such
Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns to any Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of a
Receivable Interest or any interest therein shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Seller of
any such assignment. Each assignor of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein may, in
connection with the assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or participant any
information relating to the Transaction Parties, including the Receivables, furnished to such
assignor by or on behalf of any Transaction Party or by the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant agrees to preserve
the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Transaction Parties received by
it from any of the foregoing entities in a manner consistent with Section 11.06(b). The Servicer
and the Seller agree to assist each Committed Purchaser, upon its reasonable request, in
syndicating their respective Commitments hereunder, including making management and representatives
of the Servicer and the Seller reasonably available to participate in information meetings with
potential assignees.
(b) Assignments by Conduit Purchasers. Each Conduit Purchaser may assign, grant
security interests in or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Receivable Interests to any
Eligible Assignee or Program Support Provider with respect to such Conduit Purchaser without prior
notice to or consent from any other party or any other condition or restriction of any kind.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Conduit Purchaser may, from time to time
with prior or concurrent notice to the Seller and each Managing Agent, assign all or any portion of
its interest in the Receivable Interest and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such
Conduit Purchaser. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Purchaser to a Conduit Assignee, (A) unless a
new Purchaser Group is being established pursuant to Section 11.03(i) below, the Managing Agent for
the assigning Conduit Purchaser will act as the Managing Agent for the Conduit Assignee hereunder,
(B) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and
other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such
Conduit Purchaser and its related Committed Purchasers herein and in the other Transaction
Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit
Assignee), (C) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Purchaser’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (whenever created, whether before or after such
assignment) with respect to the assigned portion of the Receivable Interests held by such Conduit
Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all such obligations, (D) all
distributions to such Conduit Purchaser hereunder with respect to the assigned portion of the
Receivable Interest shall be made to such Conduit Assignee, (E) the definition of the term “CP
Rate” shall be determined on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Promissory
Notes issued by such
56
Conduit Assignee (rather than such assigning Conduit Purchaser), (F) the defined terms and
other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be
interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (G) if requested by the Administrative Agent or
Managing Agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such
further agreements and documents (including amendments to this Agreement) and take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent may reasonably request to evidence and
give effect to the foregoing.
(c) Assignment by Committed Purchasers. Each Committed Purchaser may assign to any
Eligible Assignee or to any other Committed Purchaser all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment
and any Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by it); provided, however
that
(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage
of all rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall
in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning
Committed Purchaser’s Commitment,
(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined
below), an Assignment and Acceptance, and
(iv) concurrently with such assignment, it shall assign to such assignee
Committed Purchaser or other Eligible Assignee an equal percentage of its rights and
obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement to which such assignor Committed
Purchaser is a party.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Committed
Purchaser thereunder and (y) the assigning Committed Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such
rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Committed
Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Committed Purchaser shall cease to be
a party hereto). In addition, any Committed Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may assign any of
its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this
Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of any Transaction Party, any
other Committed Purchaser or Conduit Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent.
57
(d) Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to on
the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by
the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Committed Purchasers and the Conduit Purchasers, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser and
the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Receivable Interest or interests therein owned by each
Conduit Purchaser and Committed Purchaser from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Conduit Purchasers and the
Committed Purchasers may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Committed
Purchaser or Conduit Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, any Managing Agent, any
Conduit Purchaser or any Committed Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(e) Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Committed Purchaser and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Purchaser, the
Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been duly completed, (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller.
(f) Participations by Conduit Purchasers. Each Conduit Purchaser may, without the
consent of the Seller or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding
Receivable Interests); provided, however, that
(i) such Conduit Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged,
(ii) such Conduit Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, and
(iii) the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Conduit Purchasers,
the other Purchasers, the Seller and the Servicer shall have the right to continue
to deal solely and directly with such Conduit Purchaser in connection with such
Conduit Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Conduit Purchaser sells such a participation
shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this
Agreement or other Transaction Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however,
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Conduit Purchaser will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of a type that would
require the consent of each Purchaser affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.01. Seller
acknowledges and agrees that a Conduit Purchaser’s source of funds may derive in part from its
Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.10, 2.13, 2.14, 6.06, 10.01 and 11.04 and the
other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
58
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced
receipts, Indemnified Amounts and the like as they pertain to such Conduit Purchaser shall be
deemed also to include those of its Participants.
(g) Participations by Committed Purchasers. Each Committed Purchaser may sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (each a “Committed Purchaser
Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the interests in the
Receivable Interests owned by it); provided, however, that
(i) such Committed Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations,
(iii) concurrently with the sale of such participation, the selling Committed
Purchaser shall sell to such bank or other entity a participation in an equal
percentage of its rights and obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement to which
such Committed Purchaser is a party, and
(iv) the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Conduit Purchasers, the
other Committed Purchasers, the Seller and the Servicer shall have the right to
continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection
with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Committed Purchaser sells such a participation
shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this
Agreement or other Transaction Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however,
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Committed Purchaser will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of a type that would
require the consent of each Purchaser affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.01. Seller
acknowledges and agrees that a Committed Purchaser’s source of funds may derive in part from its
Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.10, 2.13, 2.14, 6.06, 10.01 and 11.04 and the
other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Program Documents to determinations,
reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts, Indemnified
Amounts and the like as they pertain to such Committed Purchaser shall be deemed also to include
those of its Participants.
(h) Assignments by Seller and Servicer. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer may
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of each Managing Agent.
(i) Additional Purchaser Groups. In connection with any assignment by a Conduit
Purchaser of all or any portion of its Conduit Purchase Limit to a Conduit Assignee,
59
such Conduit Assignee may elect to establish a new Purchaser Group hereunder by the execution
and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by such Conduit Assignee, the Committed Purchasers which are to
be in its Purchaser Group and the Person which is to be the Managing Agent for such Purchaser
Group, in each case without the consent of any other party. Upon the effective date of such
Joinder Agreement, (a) the Person specified therein as a “New Managing Agent” shall become a party
hereto and a party to the Purchaser Fee Letter as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and
subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder, (b) each Person specified therein as a
“New Conduit Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit Purchaser, entitled to the rights
and subject to the obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder, (c) each Person specified therein
as a “New Committed Purchaser” shall become a party hereto as a Committed Purchaser, entitled to
the rights and subject to the obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder and (d) Schedule II
shall be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to incorporate the information set forth in
such Joinder Agreement.
(j) Participants. No Participant shall receive any amount pursuant to Sections 2.10,
2.13, 2.14, 6.06, 10.01 or 11.04 of this Agreement greater than the amount the Purchaser, from whom
such participation was made, would have been entitled to receive under such Sections of this
Agreement had no such participation occurred.
SECTION 11.04 Costs and Expenses. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification
granted under Section 10.01 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and
expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement, any Asset Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, (i) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative
Agent, the Conduit Purchasers, the Managing Agents, the Committed Purchasers and their respective
Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent, the Managing
Agents, the Conduit Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers and their respective Affiliates as to
their rights and remedies under this Agreement, (ii) all rating agency fees, (iii) all reasonable
fees and expenses associated with any audits and other due diligence conducted prior to or after
the Initial Closing Date and (iv) any amendments, waivers or consents under the Transaction
Documents. In addition, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Conduit
Purchasers, the Committed Purchasers and their respective Affiliates incurred in connection with
the enforcement of, or any dispute, work-out, litigation or preparation for litigation involving,
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand each of the following to the extent not
included in the CP Rate for the applicable Conduit Purchaser: (i) any and all commissions of
placement agents and Promissory Notes dealers in respect of Promissory Notes issued to fund the
Receivable Interests, (ii) any and all reasonable costs and expenses of any issuing and paying
agent or other Person responsible for the administration of any Conduit Purchaser’s Promissory
Notes program in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery of payment of
Promissory Notes issued to fund the Promissory Notes up to a maximum amount of $20,000 per calendar
year per Conduit Purchaser and (iii) the applicable pro-rata costs and expenses of any Rating
Agency rating any Conduit Purchaser’s Promissory Notes (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section
11.04(a) above); provided, however, that if any Conduit
60
Purchaser enters into agreements for the purchase of interests in receivables from one or more
Persons (each an “Other Seller”), such Conduit Purchaser shall equitably allocate such
expenses to the Seller and each Other Seller; and provided, further, that if such
expenses are attributable solely to the Seller, the Seller shall be solely liable for such
expenses, and if such expenses are attributable solely to Other Sellers, such Other Sellers shall
be solely liable for such expenses.
SECTION 11.05 No Proceedings. Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the
Servicer, each Managing Agent, each Conduit Purchaser, each Committed Purchaser, each assignee of a
Receivable Interest or any interest therein and each Person which enters into a commitment to
purchase Receivable Interests or interests therein hereby agrees that it will not institute against
any Conduit Purchaser any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of “Event of
Bankruptcy” so long as any Promissory Notes or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit
Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last
day on which any such Promissory Notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
SECTION 11.06 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that,
from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents (the “Transaction”), each of the parties hereto (and each of their
respective, and their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, advisors,
representatives and agents) are permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of
any kind, the structure and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code Sections
6011, 6111 and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Transaction, and all
materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any party
related to such structure and tax aspects. In this regard, the parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that the disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the Transaction is not limited in any
way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such
understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of
information relating to the structure or tax aspects of the Transaction is limited in any other
manner (such as where the Transaction is claimed to be proprietary or exclusive) for the benefit of
any other Person.
(b) Subject to Section 11.06(a), the Transaction Documents, the terms thereof (including,
without limitation, any specific pricing information contained therein), the structure of the
Transaction, any related structures developed by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent for
the Seller or any of its Affiliates, any related analyses, computer models, information or
documents, any written or oral reports from Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent to the
Seller or any of its Affiliates or any related written information (collectively, “Product
Information”) is confidential. Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees:
(i) to keep all Product Information confidential and to disclose Product Information
only to those of its officers, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other
representatives (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such

61
(ii) to use the Product Information only in connection with the Transaction and not

responsible for any failure of any Representative to so comply.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to Product Information that is or hereafter
becomes (through a source other than the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates
or Representatives) a matter of general public knowledge. The provisions of this Section shall not
prohibit the Seller or the Servicer from (i) filing with any governmental or regulatory agency any
information or other documents with respect to the Transaction as may be required by applicable Law
or (ii) making any other disclosure to the extent required by applicable law, Subpoena or other
legal process. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Originator will file this Agreement and the
Originator Purchase Agreement, and any other material agreements related thereto (other than the
Fee Letters) as the Originator may determine in its sole discretion, with the SEC.
(c) Each Purchaser, each Managing Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of all non-public information with respect to the Seller, the Originator, the
Contracts or the Receivables furnished or delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, that such information may be disclosed (i) to such party’s
officers, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives (collectively
“Purchaser Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for the purpose of
assisting in the negotiation, completion and administration of the facility contemplated hereby,
(ii) to such party’s assignees and participants and potential assignees and participants to the
extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality substantially
similar to this Section 11.06(c), (iii) to the Rating Agencies, (iv) to the Program Support
Providers for each Conduit Purchaser and the dealers and investors in respect of the Promissory
Notes of any Conduit Purchaser, in each case in accordance with the customary practices of such
Conduit Purchaser for disclosures to Program Support Providers, dealers or investors, as the case
may be (it being understood and agreed that any disclosures to dealers or investors will not
identify the Originator or its Affiliates by name) and (v) to the extent required by applicable
Law, Subpoena or other legal process or by any Official Body.
The provisions of Section 11.06(b) shall not apply to information that is or hereafter becomes
(through a source other than the applicable Purchaser, Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent
or any Purchaser Representative associated with such party) a matter of general public knowledge.
The provisions of this Section shall not prohibit any Purchaser, Managing Agent or the
Administrative Agent from filing with or making available to any Official Body any information or
other documents with respect to the Transaction as may be required by applicable Law or requested
by such Official Body .
SECTION 11.07 Amendments to Financial Covenants. If the Credit Agreement is amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, or is substituted or replaced with a new credit
facility (each a “Modification”), and such Modification includes one or more financial
covenants which are different from the financial covenants set forth on Schedule VI (including,
without limitation, by reasons of a difference in levels), then the parties
62
hereto agree, promptly upon request of each Managing Agent, to amend this Agreement as
appropriate to modify the financial covenants set forth in Schedule VI to incorporate the financial
covenant or covenants contained in such Modification (which amendment shall include conforming
amendments to the definitions contained in Schedule VI).
SECTION 11.08 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW
PRINCIPLES) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION
OF THE INTERESTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE CONDUIT PURCHASERS AND THE COMMITTED PURCHASERS
IN THE RECEIVABLES AND ANY OTHER COLLATERAL DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2.15 ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A
JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 11.09 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of 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 facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.10 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Termination. This Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents executed by the parties hereto on the date hereof or on the
Initial Closing Date 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. 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). 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. 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 the
Final Payout Date; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.13,
2.14, 6.06, 10.01, 11.04, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.11 Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New
York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party
hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be
heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may
effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any
63
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(b) Each of the Seller and the Servicer consents to the service of any and all process in any
such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified
in Section 11.02. Nothing in this Section 11.11 shall affect the right of any Conduit Purchaser,
any Committed Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in
any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 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 OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT.
SECTION 11.13 Right of Setoff. Each of the Purchasers is hereby authorized (in
addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date
due to the occurrence of a Termination Event, or during the continuation of an Incipient
Termination Event, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by
such Purchaser to, or for the account of, the Seller against the amount of the Seller Obligations
owing by the Seller to such Person.
SECTION 11.14 Ratable Payments. If any Committed Purchaser, whether by setoff or
otherwise, has a payment made to it with respect to any Seller Obligations in a greater proportion
than that received by any other Committed Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such
Seller Obligations, such Committed Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty a portion of such Seller Obligations held by the other Committed
Purchasers so that after such purchase each Committed Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of
such Seller Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is
thereafter recovered from such Committed Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
SECTION 11.15 Limitation of Liability. (a) No claim may be made by any Transaction
Party or any other Person against any Purchaser, any Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent or
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents (each a
“Purchaser Party”) 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 other Transaction Document, or any act,
omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, except with respect to any claim
arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Purchaser Party; and each of the
Seller and the Servicer 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.
64
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the
respective Conduit Purchasers under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each
such Conduit Purchaser and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or
are available to, such Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all
outstanding Promissory Notes issued by such Conduit Purchaser and, to the extent funds are not
available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against
such Conduit Purchaser. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in
Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the
payment in full of all Promissory Notes.
(c) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Purchaser contained
in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member,
manager, employee or agent of such Conduit Purchaser, the Managing Agent with respect to such
Conduit Purchaser or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement
of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise;
it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of
such Conduit Purchaser, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by
any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Conduit
Purchaser, any Managing Agent or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any
of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit
Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal
liability for breaches by any Conduit Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or
agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby
expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any
liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions
made by them.
SECTION 11.16 Intent of the Parties. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto
that each purchase of Receivable Interests shall convey to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the applicable Purchasers, to the extent of such Receivable Interests, an undivided interest in
the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof and that such
transaction shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a secured loan for all purposes other than
for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes. However, if a determination is
made that such purchase shall not be so treated, the transactions effected hereby shall be deemed
to constitute a secured financing under applicable law.
(b) The Seller has structured the Transaction Documents with the intention that the Receivable
Interests and the obligations of the Seller hereunder will be treated under United States federal,
and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The
Seller, Medco, the Administrative Agent, the Conduit Purchasers and the Committed Purchasers agree
to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. Each
assignee and each participant acquiring an interest in a Receivable Interest, by its acceptance of
such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

CP RATES
CNAI Purchaser Group
When used in reference to any Conduit Purchaser for which CNAI acts as the Managing Agent (or
any successor Managing Agent for such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group), the term “CP
Rate” means, for each day during a Fixed Period and to the extent such Conduit Purchaser funds
the related Receivable Interest on such day through the issuance of Promissory Notes, the per annum
rate equivalent to the weighted average of the per annum rates paid or payable by such Conduit
Purchaser from time to time as interest on or otherwise (by means of interest rate xxxxxx or
otherwise) in respect of those Promissory Notes issued by such Conduit Purchaser that are
allocated, in whole or in part, by such Managing Agent (on behalf of such Conduit Purchaser) to
fund such Receivable Interest on such day as determined by such Managing Agent (on behalf of such
Conduit Purchaser) and reported to the Seller, which rates shall reflect and give effect to the
commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of such Promissory Notes, to the extent such
commissions are allocated, in whole or in part, to such Promissory Notes by such Managing Agent on
behalf of such Conduit Purchaser; provided, however, that if any component of such
rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP Rate” for such day the Managing Agent shall for
such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing
equivalent rate per annum; provided, further, that the CP Rate with respect to any
portion of a Receivable Interest funded by Conduit Participants shall be the same rate as in effect
from time to time on the Receivable Interest or portions thereof that are not funded by Conduit
Participants; and provided further that if all of the Receivable Interest is funded
by Conduit Participants, then the CP Rate applicable to such Receivable Interest shall be such
Conduit Purchaser’s pool funding rate in effect from time to time for its largest size pool of
transactions which settles with a frequency corresponding to the applicable Fixed Period.
BTM Purchaser Group
When used in reference to any Conduit Purchaser for which BTM acts as Managing Agent (or any
successor Managing Agent for such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group), the term “CP Rate”
means, for each day during a Fixed Period and to the extent such Conduit Purchaser funds the
related Receivable Interest (or any portion thereof) on such day through the issuance of Promissory
Notes, (i) unless such Conduit Purchaser or its Managing Agent has determined that the Pooled CP
Rate shall be applicable, a rate per annum equal to the rate per
annum calculated by such Managing Agent to reflect such Conduit Purchaser’s cost of funding
such Receivable Interest (or portion thereof), taking into account the weighted daily average
interest rate payable in respect of such Promissory Notes during such period (determined in the
case of discount Promissory Notes by converting the discount to an interest bearing equivalent rate
per annum), applicable placement fees and commissions, and such other costs and
expenses as such Managing Agent in good xxxxx xxxxx appropriate; and (ii) to the extent such
Managing Agent has determined that the Pooled CP Rate shall be applicable, the Pooled CP Rate.
For purposes of the foregoing:
“Pooled Commercial Paper” means commercial paper notes of a Conduit Purchaser which
are subject to any particular pooling arrangement, as determined by the Managing Agent for such
Conduit Purchaser (it being recognized that there may be more than one distinct groups of Pooled
Commercial Paper at any time).
“Pooled CP Rate” shall mean, for each day with respect to any Fixed Period as to which
the Pooled CP Rate is applicable, the sum of (i) discount or yield accrued (including, without
limitation, any associated with financing the discount or interest component on the roll-over of
any Pooled Commercial Paper) on Pooled Commercial Paper on such day, plus (ii) any and all accrued
commissions in respect of placement agents and commercial paper dealers, and issuing and paying
agent fees incurred, in respect of such Pooled Commercial Paper for such day, plus (iii) other
costs (including without limitation those associated with funding small or odd-lot amounts) with
respect to all receivable purchase, credit and other investment facilities which are funded by the
applicable Pooled Commercial Paper for such day. The Pooled CP Rate shall be determined by the
Managing Agent for the applicable Conduit Purchaser, whose determination shall be conclusive.
Scotiabank Purchaser Group
When used in reference to any Conduit Purchaser for which Scotiabank acts as Managing Agent
(or any successor Managing Agent for such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group), the term “CP
Rate” means, with respect to such Conduit Purchaser for any Fixed Period with respect to any
Receivable Interest, the per annum rate equivalent to the “weighted average cost” (as defined
below) related to the issuance of such Conduit Purchaser’s Promissory Notes that are allocated, in
whole or in part, by such Conduit Purchaser (or by its Managing Agent) to fund or maintain such
Receivable Interest (and which may also be allocated in part to the funding of other Receivable
Interests hereunder or of other assets of such Conduit Purchaser); provided,
however, that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP
Rate” for such Receivable Interest for such Fixed Period, such Conduit Purchaser shall for such
component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing
equivalent rate per annum. As used in this definition, such Conduit Purchaser’s “weighted average
cost” shall consist of (x) the actual interest rate (or discount) paid to purchasers of such
Conduit Purchaser’s Promissory Notes, together with the commissions of placement agents and dealers
in respect of such Promissory Notes, to the extent such commissions are allocated, in whole or in
part, to such Promissory Notes by such Conduit Purchaser (or by its Managing Agent) and (y) any
incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to such Conduit Purchaser’s Promissory Notes
maturing on dates other than those on which corresponding funds are received by such Conduit
Purchaser.
Other Purchaser Groups
When used in reference to any Conduit Purchaser the Managing Agent for which is not BTM, CNAI
or Scotiabank (or any of their respective successors), except as otherwise provided in the Joinder
Agreement pursuant to which such Conduit Purchaser became a party hereto, the term “CP
Rate” means, for each day during a Fixed Period and to the extent such Conduit Purchaser funds
the related Receivable Interest on such day through the issuance of Promissory Notes, the per annum
rate equivalent to the weighted average cost (as determined by
such Managing Agent, and which shall include (without duplication) the fees and commissions of
placement agents and dealers, incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to Commercial Paper
maturing on dates other than those on which corresponding funds are received by such Conduit
Purchaser, other borrowings by such Conduit Purchaser and any other costs associated with the
issuance of Commercial Paper) of or related to the issuance of Promissory Notes that are allocated,
in whole or in part, by such Conduit Purchaser or its Managing Agent to fund or maintain such
Receivable Interest on such day (and which may also be allocated in part to the funding of other
assets of the Conduit Purchaser); provided, however, that if any component of any
such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP Rate” for such Receivable Interest for
such Fixed Period, the Managing Agent shall for such component use the rate resulting from
converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum.

A. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE DEDUCTION AMOUNT
“Aggregate Accounts Payable Deduction Amount” means, as of any Monthly Reporting Date
and continuing until (but not including) the next Monthly Reporting Date, an amount equal to:

(i) the greater of (x) the highest six-month rolling average aggregate
Accounts Payable for the Top 10 Obligors during the period of twelve
consecutive Calculation Periods ending immediately prior to such earlier
Monthly Reporting Date and (y) the aggregate Accounts Payable for the Top
Ten Obligors for the Current Calculation Period; and
(ii) the greater of (x) the highest six-month rolling average aggregate
Accounts Payable for the Non-Top 10 Obligors during the period of twelve
consecutive Calculation Periods ending immediately prior to such earlier
Monthly Reporting Date and (y) the aggregate Accounts Payable for the
Non-Top Ten Obligors for the Current Calculation Period;
(b) during any Tier 2 Period (as defined below), the sum of:
(i) the greater of (x) (A) the highest six-month rolling average aggregate
Accounts Payable for the Top 10 Obligors during the period of twelve
consecutive Calculation Periods ending immediately prior to such earlier
Monthly Reporting Date, multiplied by (B) 1.2 and (y) the aggregate Accounts
Payable for the Top Ten Obligors for the Current Calculation Period; and
(ii) the greater of (x) (A) the highest six-month rolling average aggregate
Accounts Payable for the Non-Top 10 Obligors during the period of twelve
consecutive Calculation Periods ending immediately prior to such earlier
Monthly Reporting Date, multiplied by (B) 1.2 and (y) the aggregate Accounts
Payable for the Non-Top Ten Obligors for the Current Calculation Period; and
(c) during any period that is neither a Tier 1 Period nor a Tier 2 Period, the sum
of (i) the Accounts Payable Deduction Amount (Top 10 Obligors) and (ii) the Accounts
Payable Deduction Amount (Non-Top 10 Obligors).
For purposes of this definition, the following terms have the following meanings:

For purposes of the foregoing, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

payable by the Originator to such Obligor as of the last day of the Current Calculation Period
pursuant to any contract or other arrangement between the Originator and such Obligor;

Payable shall be calculated as if such Obligor and such Affiliates were a single Obligor.
“Accounts Payable Deduction Amount (Non-Top 10 Obligors)” means, as of any Monthly
Reporting Date and continuing until (but not including) the next Monthly Reporting Date, the
product of (a) the highest aggregate Accounts Payable for the Non-Top Ten Obligors for any
Calculation Period during the Look-Back Period times (b) a ratio (expressed as a percentage), (i)
the numerator of which is the Accounts Payable Deduction Amount (Top 10 Obligors) for the Current
Calculation Period and (ii) the denominator of which is the highest aggregate Accounts Payable for
the Top Ten Obligors for any Calculation Period during the Look-Back Period. For purposes of this

to be or has been found to be a fiduciary under ERISA, any other federal Law or any state Law
applicable to the pharmaceutical benefit management industry specifically unless, solely in the
case of this clause (B), the Seller establishes to the satisfaction of the Managing Agents that the
facts and circumstances which resulted in such pharmaceutical benefit manager being, agreeing to be
or being found to be such a fiduciary are not applicable to the Originator;
(ii) none of the Managing Agents shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that there
exists any Law that would conflict with the general principles of common law discussed in the
Rebate Letters (as defined below) or that would otherwise increase the risk that a Client would be
able successfully to assert an Adverse Claim to any Receivables or Collections (whether or not such
Law was in existence at the time such Rebate Letters are delivered, but excluding any such Law that
was expressly cited and discussed in such Rebate Letters); and
(iii) the Originator shall have taken, or refrained from taking, as the case may be, all
actions that are necessary to be taken or not to be taken in order to ensure that the assumptions
and factual recitations set forth in the Rebate Letters remain true and correct in all material
respects at all times.
The occurrence of any event described in clause (i)(A) or clause (iii) shall result in the
Rebate Conditions not being satisfied immediately. The occurrence of any event described in clause
(i)(B) or any determination described in clause (ii) shall result in the Rebate Conditions not
being satisfied on the later of (x) the 30th day after the occurrence of such event or
determination and (y) the next occurring Settlement Date.
“Rebate Deduction Amount” means, at any time, an amount equal to:
(i) if the Rebate Conditions are not satisfied at such time, the aggregate Outstanding Balance
of all Eligible Receivables that are Formulary Rebate Receivables plus the Additional Rebate
