or Purchasers (i) such fees as set forth in the Fee Letter,
(ii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iii) all amounts

procedures set forth in Article VII , shall be applied
to reduce Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (iv) all
amounts payable to reduce the Seller Interest, if required,
pursuant to Section 2.6 , (v) all amounts payable

Obligations ”). If any Person fails to pay any of the
Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the
Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or the Fee Letter shall
require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts
hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If
at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive
any Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or
Deemed Collections to the Servicer and, at all times prior to such
payment, such Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the
exclusive benefit of the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the
Collateral Agent.
Section 2.2
Collections Prior to Amortization .
(a) Prior
to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections
received by the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for
the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a
Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2 . If at
any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the
Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer shall set aside and hold
in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers: (A) the
Termination Percentage of Collections and Deemed Collections
evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Committed
Purchaser, (B) an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
Obligations, (C) an amount equal to the Aggregate Reduction,
if any, to be effected pursuant to Section 1.3 and
(ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other
than
3
any Terminating
Committed Purchasers) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with
such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “ Reinvestment
”) with that portion of the balance of each and every
Collection received by the Servicer that is part of any Purchaser
Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating
Committed Purchasers), such that after giving effect to such
Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest
immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall
be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such
receipt.
(b) On
each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization
Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents’
respective accounts the amounts set aside since the immediately
preceding Settlement Date that have not been applied to pay Yield
or subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not
previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1 ) first,
to reduce due but unpaid Obligations in the order specified in
Section 2.4 and second, to reduce the Capital of all
Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers, applied
ratably to each Terminating Committed Purchaser according to the
respective Capital of such Terminating Committed Purchasers. If
such Capital and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any
additional Collections received by the Servicer (i) if
applicable, shall be remitted to the Managing Agents’
respective accounts no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) to the
extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement
Date, applied ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of each
such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group and (ii) any
balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from the Servicer to
Seller on such Settlement Date. In the event that, pursuant to
Section 1.3 , an Aggregate Reduction is to take place
on a date other than a Settlement Date, on the date of such
Aggregate Reduction, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing
Agents’ respective accounts (ratably in accordance with the
Pro Rata Share of the related Purchaser Group), out of amounts set
aside pursuant to Section 2.2(a) , an amount equal to
such Aggregate Reduction to be applied in accordance with
Section 1.3 .
Section 2.3
Collections Following Amortization . On the Amortization
Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall set aside and
hold in trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all
Collections and Deemed Collections received on such day. On the
Amortization Date and each date thereafter, (i) the Servicer
shall remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts, in
accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares, the amounts set
aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) each
Managing Agent shall apply such amounts to reduce the Aggregate
Capital and any other Aggregate Unpaids due and payable to the
related Purchaser Group.
Section 2.4
Application of Collections . If there shall be insufficient
funds on deposit for the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in
full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to
Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer
shall distribute funds:
(i) first ,
ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee
Letter and all accrued and unpaid Yield;
(ii) second
, to the payment of the Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and
collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller
or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the
Servicer,
(iii) third
, to the reimbursement of the Collateral Agent’s and each
Managing Agent’s costs of collection and enforcement of this
Agreement,
(iv) fourth
, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the
Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination
Percentage),
(v) fifth ,
for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations,
provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the
payment of Servicer costs and expenses, including the
4
Servicing Fee,
when the Seller or one of its Affiliates is acting as the Servicer,
such costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, will not be
paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations,
and
(vi) sixth
, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to
zero, to the Seller.
Collections
applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in
accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect
to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4
above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the
Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers in
accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each
of them in respect of each such priority.
Section 2.5
Payment Rescission . No payment of any of the Aggregate
Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent
that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or
application is rescinded by application of law or judicial
authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any
reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment
or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall
promptly pay to the Collateral Agent (for application to the Person
or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full
amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any
such rescission, return or refunding.
Section 2.6
Seller Interest . Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser
Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the
aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the
Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall immediately pay to the
Managing Agents an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate
Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the
aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than
100%.
Section 2.7
Clean Up Call . In addition to Seller’s rights
pursuant to Section 1.3 , Seller shall have the right (after
providing written notice to the Managing Agents in accordance with
the Required Notice Period), at any time following the reduction of
the Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original
Purchase Limit, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less
than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase
price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate
Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately
available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation,
warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any
Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Collateral Agent.
Section 3.1
General Funding Provisions . Each Purchaser Interest of the
Committed Purchasers shall accrue Yield for each day during its
Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and each Purchaser
Interest directly or indirectly funded substantially with Pooled
Commercial Paper shall accrue Yield for each day that any Capital
in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding at the CP Rate
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller
gives notice to the Managing Agents of another Discount Rate in
accordance with Section 3.4 , the initial Discount Rate
for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Committed Purchasers
pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Base Rate.
If any Committed Purchaser acquires by assignment from any Conduit
Purchaser any Purchaser Interest pursuant to such Conduit
Purchaser’s respective Liquidity Agreement, each Purchaser
Interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche
Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.
5
Section 3.2
Yield Payments . On each Monthly Settlement Date, Seller
shall pay to each Managing Agent (for the benefit of the applicable
Purchasers), an aggregate amount equal to (i) the accrued and
unpaid Yield with respect to each Purchaser Interest for the
immediately preceding Accrual Period, if Yield for such Purchaser
Interest is calculated on the basis of the CP Rate, and
(ii) the accrued and unpaid Yield with respect to each
Purchaser Interest for the entire Tranche Period for such Purchaser
Interest, if Yield for such Purchaser Interest is calculated on the
basis of any Discount Rate other than the CP Rate, in each case, in
accordance with Article II .
Section 3.3
Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods .
(a) With
consultation from (and approval by) each related Managing Agent,
Seller shall from time to time request Tranche Periods for the
Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers; provided ,
however , that no more than fifteen (15) Tranche
Periods shall be outstanding at any one time and Seller shall
always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche
Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the

financing statements or other similar instruments or documents
necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate
jurisdictions to perfect the Collateral Agent’s (for the
benefit of the Purchasers) interest in such Receivables, Related
Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect
or more fully evidence the interest of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request).
(i)
Purchasers’ Reliance . Seller acknowledges that the
Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement in reliance upon Seller’s identity as a legal
entity that is separate from the Originator and CGSF. Therefore,
from and after the date of execution and delivery of this
Agreement, Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including,
without limitation, all steps that the Collateral Agent, any
Managing Agent or any Purchaser may from time to time reasonably
request, to maintain Seller’s identity as a separate legal
entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Seller is an
entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the
Originator, CGSF and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division
of the Originator or CGSF. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein,
Seller shall:
(A) conduct its
own business in its own name and require that all full-time
employees of Seller, if any, identify themselves as such and not as
employees of the Originator or CGSF;
(B) if applicable,
compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from
Seller’s bank accounts, for services provided to Seller by
such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any
employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee,
consultant or agent of the Originator or CGSF, allocate the
compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Seller
and the Originator or CGSF, as applicable, on a basis that reflects
the services rendered to Seller and the Originator or CGSF, as
applicable;
(C) clearly
identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices, if
any, and, if any such office is located in the offices of the
Originator or CGSF, Seller shall lease such office at a fair market
rent;
(D) if applicable,
have separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own
name;
(E) conduct all
transactions with the Originator, CGSF and the Servicer (including,
without limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as

overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and
other utility charges), if any, for items shared between Seller and
the Originator or CGSF on the basis of actual use to the extent
practicable, if any,
15
and, to the
extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably
related to actual use;
(F) at all times
have a Board of Directors consisting of at least three members, at
least one member of which is an Independent Director;
(G) observe all
corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all
corporate actions relating to (A) the selection, maintenance
or replacement of the Independent Director, (B) the
dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of,
participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller,
are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors
(including the Independent Director);
(H) maintain
Seller’s books and records separate from those of the
Originator and CGSF and otherwise readily identifiable as its own
assets rather than assets of the Originator or CGSF;
(I) prepare its
financial statements, if any, separately from those of the
Originator and CGSF and ensure that any consolidated financial
statements of the Originator, CGSF or any Affiliate thereof that
include Seller and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other governmental agency have notes stating to
the effect that Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its
assets will be available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of
Seller and of no other Person;
(J) except as
herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other
assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of
the Originator or CGSF and only maintain bank accounts or other
depository accounts to which the Seller alone is the account party,
into which the Seller alone makes deposits and from which the
Seller alone (or the Collateral Agent or Managing Agents hereunder)
has the power to make withdrawals;
(K) pay all of
Seller’s operating expenses, if any, from the Seller’s
own assets (except for certain payments by the Originator, CGSF or
other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with
the requirements of this Section 6.1(i) );
(L) operate its
business and activities such that: it does not engage in any
business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or
indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or
other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and
authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreements;
and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist
any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or
contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of
negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the
incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the
incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the
Receivables Sale Agreements, to make payment to CGSF for the
purchase of Receivables from CGSF under the Tier Two Receivables
Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses
in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement;
(M) maintain its
corporate charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that it
does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in any respect that would
impair its ability to comply with the
16
terms or
provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, Section 6.1(i) of this
Agreement;
(N) maintain the
effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables
Sale Agreements, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement,
cancel, terminate or otherwise modify either Receivables Sale
Agreement, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval
thereunder or waive any default, action, omission or breach under
either Receivables Sale Agreement or otherwise grant any indulgence
thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent;
(O) maintain its
corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate
with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of
(whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and
except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all
of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or
acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor
at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in
any Subsidiary;
(P) maintain at
all times the Required Capital Amount and refrain from making any
dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of
any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required
Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and
(Q) take such
other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts
and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued on June 11,
2004 by Bingham McCutchen LLP as counsel for Seller and the
Originator relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the
certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in
all material respects at all times.
(j)
Collections . Such Seller Party shall cause (1) all
proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a
Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each
Lock-Box and Collection Account to be, at all times, subject to a
Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In
the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted
directly to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall remit
(or shall cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a
Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two
(2) Business Days following receipt thereof and, at all times prior
to such remittance, Seller shall itself hold or, if applicable,
shall cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents and the
Purchasers. Seller shall maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and
control (subject to the terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box
and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take
dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a
future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person,
except to the Collateral Agent as contemplated by this
Agreement.
(k)
Taxes . Such Seller Party shall file all tax returns and
reports required by law to be filed by it and shall promptly pay
all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which
adequate reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles shall have been set aside on its books.
(l)
Corporate Ownership . The Seller shall remain a
wholly-owned, direct or indirect Subsidiary of McKesson and
CGSF.
17
Section 6.2
Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties . Until the date on
which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and
this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller
Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:
(a)
Name Change, Offices and Records . Such Seller Party will
not make any change to its name (within the meaning of
Section 9-507(c) of any applicable enactment of the UCC), type
or jurisdiction of organization or location of books and records
unless, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date
of any such name change, change in type or jurisdiction of
organization, or change in location of its books and records such
Seller Party notifies the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent
thereof and (except with respect to a change of location of books
and records) delivers to the Collateral Agent (i) such
financing statements (Forms UCC-1 and UCC-3) as the Collateral
Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request to reflect such
name change, change in type or jurisdiction of organization,
(ii) if the Collateral Agent, any Managing Agent or any
Purchaser shall so request, an opinion of counsel, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Person, as to such Seller
Party’s valid existence and good standing and the perfection
and priority of the Collateral Agent’s ownership or security
interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and Collections
and (iii) such other documents and instruments as the
Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request in
connection therewith and has taken all other steps to ensure that
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Purchasers,
continues to have a first priority, perfected ownership or security
interest in the Receivables, the Related Security related thereto
and any Collections thereon.
(b)
Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors . Such Seller
Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or
make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments
to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the
Collateral Agent shall have received (i) at least ten
(10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, written
notice of such addition, termination or change; provided ,
however , that the Servicer may make changes in instructions
to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require
such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection
Account, and (ii) at least ten (10) days before the
proposed effective date therefor (or such shorter prior period as
may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion),
with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection
Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with
respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box.
(c)
Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy
. Such Seller Party will not make any change to the Credit and
Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of
the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created
Receivables. Except as provided in Section 7.2(d) , the
Servicer will not, and will not extend, amend or otherwise modify
the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other
than in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policy.
(d)
Sales, Liens . Seller shall not sell, assign (by operation
of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option
with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim
upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing
statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or
Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which
any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or

encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any
inventory the sale of which would give rise to a
Receivable.

any period of time greater than one (1) Business Day.
(f)
Amortization Date Determination . Seller shall not designate
an Amortization Date (as defined in either Receivables Sale

respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such
Amortization Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of either
Receivables Sale Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
Section 7.1
Designation of Servicer .
(a) The
servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall
be conducted by such Person (the “ Servicer ”)
so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section
7.1 . McKesson is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Amortization Event, the Collateral Agent may at
any time designate as Servicer any Person to succeed McKesson or
any successor Servicer.
(b) Without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Required
Committed Purchasers, McKesson shall not be permitted to delegate
any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person
other than (i) Seller or another Affiliate of McKesson and
(ii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside
collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices.
Seller shall not be permitted to further delegate to any other
Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer
delegated to it by McKesson. If at any time after the occurrence of
an Amortization Event, the Collateral Agent shall designate as
Servicer any Person other than McKesson or an Affiliate of
McKesson, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by
McKesson or another Affiliate of McKesson to Seller may, at the
discretion of the Collateral Agent, be terminated forthwith on
notice given by the Collateral Agent to McKesson and to
Seller.
(c) So
long as the Servicer is McKesson or an Affiliate of McKesson,
(i) McKesson shall be and remain primarily liable to the
Collateral Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt
performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer
hereunder; (ii) the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall
be entitled to deal exclusively with McKesson in matters relating
to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder; and (iii) the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers
shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication
to any Person other than McKesson in order for communication to the
Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect
thereto to be accomplished. McKesson, at all times that it is the
Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or
other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the
Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 7.2
Duties of Servicer .
(a) The
Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be
necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to
time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy.
19
(b) The
Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly
to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall cause a
Collection Account Agreement to be in effect at all times with
respect to each Collection Account. In the case of any remittances
received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been
identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute
Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related
Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the
Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances.
From and after the date the Collateral Agent delivers to any
Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to
Section 7.3 , the Collateral Agent may request that the
Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all
Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments
thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Collateral
Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall
not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other
Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary
account any cash or payment item other than Collections.
(c) The
Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the
procedures described herein and in Article II . The
Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of
Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the
Collections of Receivables in accordance with
Article II ; provided , that nothing in this
sentence shall require the Servicer to segregate Collections on a
daily basis from its other funds. The Servicer shall, upon the
request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Amortization Event, segregate, in a manner
acceptable to the Collateral Agent, all cash, checks and other
instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior
to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II
. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate
and deposit with a bank designated by the Collateral Agent such
allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the
Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the
Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed
instruments of transfer.
(d) The
Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy,
extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding
Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be
appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided ,
however , that such extension or adjustment shall not alter
the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or
Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Collateral Agent or
the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall have the
absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or
settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to
foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(e) The
Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all
Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related
Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary
or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as
practicable upon demand of the Collateral Agent after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event
deliver or make available to the Collateral Agent all such Records,
at a place selected by the Collateral Agent. The Servicer shall, as
soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller
any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect
to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. After the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Servicer
shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish
to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation
of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to
Article II .
(f) Any
payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to
the Originator, CGSF or Seller shall, except as reasonably
identified by the Servicer as not constituting a Collection, as
otherwise specified by such Obligor, as otherwise required by
contract or law or unless otherwise instructed by the Collateral
Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such
Obligor
20
(starting with
the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due
and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable
or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 7.3
Collection Notices . The Collateral Agent is authorized at
any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event to date and
to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller
hereby transfers to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Purchasers, effective when the Collateral Agent delivers such
notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and
the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller
whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall
cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice,
such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such
authority had remained in force. After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Amortization Event, Seller hereby authorizes
the Collateral Agent, and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled, to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and
other instruments representing Collections and (ii) take such
action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks
and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to
come into the possession of the Collateral Agent rather than
Seller. Following the Amortization Date, Seller hereby authorizes
the Collateral Agent, and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the
Related Security.
Section 7.4
Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the exercise by the Collateral Agent and the
Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the
Servicer, the Originator, CGSF or Seller from any of their duties
or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related
Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability
with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any
of them be obligated to perform the obligations of
Seller.
Section 7.5
Reports . The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each
Managing Agent (a) during a Level 1 Ratings Period, a Monthly
Report on each Monthly Reporting Date; (b) during a Level 2
Ratings Period, a Monthly Report on each Monthly Reporting Date and
a Weekly Report on each Weekly Reporting Date and (c) during a
Level 3 Ratings Period, a Monthly Report on each Monthly Reporting
Date and a Daily Report on each Business Day, in each case,
accompanied by, if the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent shall
request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an
aging of such Receivables; provided , that if an
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer
shall prepare and forward Monthly Reports, Weekly Reports and Daily
Reports to each Managing Agent at such times as each Managing Agent
shall request.
Section 7.6
Servicing Fees . In consideration of McKesson’s
agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree
that, so long as McKesson shall continue to perform as Servicer
hereunder, the Seller shall pay over to McKesson on each Monthly
Settlement Date, in accordance with the priority of payments set
forth in Article II, a fee (the “ Servicing Fee
”) equal to (i) one percent (1%) of the average daily
Net Receivables Balance during the preceding Collection Period,
times (ii) 1/12, as compensation for its servicing
activities.
Section 7.7
Financial Covenant . McKesson agrees that it will, as of the
end of each calendar month, maintain a ratio of Total Debt to Total
Capitalization of not greater than 0.565 to 1.00.
ARTICLE VIII

the following events shall constitute an Amortization
Event:

which is not in respect of Capital, such failure continues for one

covenant or agreement hereunder (other than as referred to in

Agent or Purchaser or actual knowledge on the part of such Seller

such Indebtedness on the date of such failure; or (iii) the
default by any Seller Party or any Subsidiary thereof in the
performance of any term, provision or condition contained in any
agreement under which any such Indebtedness was created or is
governed, the effect of which is to cause, or to permit the holder
or holders of such Indebtedness to cause, such Indebtedness to
become due prior to its stated maturity; or any such Indebtedness
of any Seller Party shall be declared to be due and payable or
required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled

its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an
order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other
similar official for it or any substantial part of its property,
and, with respect to a Seller Party or any of its Material
Subsidiaries other than the Seller, such proceeding instituted
against any Seller Party or any of its Material Subsidiaries shall
not be stayed, released, vacated or fully bonded within sixty (60)

Party.

with its terms), or shall cease to be effective or to be the
legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Seller, or any
Obligor on Receivables constituting a material portion of the
