Dated as of July 28, 2008

          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.

          (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).

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 bill 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 mark 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 mark 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.

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 against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, disbursements and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable attorneys’ fees (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “ Special Indemnified Amounts ”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following (excluding, however, (a) Special Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finds that such Special Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party and (b) any income taxes or any other tax or fee measured by income incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract):

     (iv) any failure of the Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

39


 

     (v) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates (other than the Seller) with other funds;

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.
