RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 10, 2003, is by and between AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Originator”), and Amerisource Receivables Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Originator now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Originator wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Originator and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales to Buyer by Originator of the Receivables originated by it, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and neither the Originator nor Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Originator.

Following the purchase of Receivables from Originator, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of July 10, 2003 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, Originator, as initial Servicer, the various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”), and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrator for each Purchaser Group, or any successor administrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, (in such capacity, the “Administrator”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

Section 1.1 Initial Contribution of Receivables. On the date hereof, Originator does hereby contribute, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, and Buyer does hereby accept from Originator, Receivables originated by Originator and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof (the “Initial Cutoff Date”) having an aggregate Outstanding Balance of $2,019,745,773 (the “Initial Contributed Receivables”), together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.

Section 1.2 Purchase of Receivables. (a) Effective on the date hereof, in consideration for the Purchase Price paid to Originator and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by Originator and existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) and all Receivables thereafter originated by Originator through and including the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof Buyer shall acquire all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from Originator in accordance with Section 1.3.

(b) On the 20^th day of each month hereafter (or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day thereafter, Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit VII hereto (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Receivables sold by Originator to Buyer during the Settlement Period then most recently ended. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Originator deliver, and Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables from Originator made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by Originator. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4, the sale of Receivables hereunder by Originator is made without recourse to Originator; provided, however, that (i) Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(B)(x), mark its “Aged Trial Balance” with a legend in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit XVI to the Purchase Agreement, evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee), Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

Section 1.3 Payment for the Purchases. (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase from Originator of its Receivables in existence as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) shall be payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement; provided that a portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by Originator to Buyer on account of the issuance of equity having a total value of not less than the Required Capital Amount, and

(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount, and (C) fifteen percent (15%) of such Purchase Price. Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).

(b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay Originator the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the following manner:

first, by delivery to Originator or its designee of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in all of the Receivables to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;

second, by delivery to Originator or its designee of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii); and

third, solely in the case of Receivables originated by Originator, unless the Termination Date has occurred in accordance with this Agreement, by accepting a contribution to its capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii), Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans owing to Originator shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, (i) Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer, or (ii) Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) contribute Receivables to Buyer’s capital pursuant to clause third of Section 1.3(b).

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables originated by Originator during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered by Originator for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.3 and any contribution of capital by Originator to Buyer made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any credit issued for returned or repossessed goods, any shortages, any pricing adjustment, any volume rebate or any other allowance, adjustment or deduction by Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or

(b) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(c) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(d) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Settlement Report (for any reason other than receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(e) any of the representations or warranties of Originator with respect to any Receivable set forth in Article II were not true when made,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to Originator hereunder equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (calculated before giving effect to the applicable reduction or cancellation). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by Originator on any day, Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.

Section 1.5 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of Originator designated from time to time by Originator or as otherwise directed by Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.6 License of Software. (a) To the extent that any software used by Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it is non-transferable, Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Administrator and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by Originator or is owned by others and used by Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) the date each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Administrator and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 1.7 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(c), any sale or contribution by Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables by Originator hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables of Originator which are now existing or hereafter arising, all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables purchased from Originator together with all other obligations of Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Originator. Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof, on the date of the Purchase from Originator hereunder and on each date that any Receivable is originated by Originator or on or after the date of such Purchase, that:

(a) Organization and Qualification. Originator is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Delaware. Originator is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities (including transactions giving rise to Receivables), or both, requires it to be so qualified or, if not so qualified, the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations or any Receivables.

(b) Authority. Originator has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, to make the sales provided for herein and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Execution and Binding Effect. Each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Originator and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Originator, enforceable against Originator in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity and will vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Buyer, a valid undivided ownership interest in the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds (the “Purchased Assets”) purported to be assigned thereby, subject to no Liens whatsoever. Upon the filing of the necessary financing statements under the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose Law governs the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interests in the Purchased Assets, the Buyer’s ownership interests in the Purchased Assets will be perfected under Article Nine of such UCC, prior to and enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from Originator and all other Persons whatsoever (other than the Buyer and its successors and assigns).

(d) Authorizations and Filings. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Official Body is or will be necessary or, in the opinion of Originator, advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, the consummation by Originator of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by Originator of or the compliance by Originator with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, or to ensure that the Buyer will have a valid undivided ownership interest in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds which is perfected and prior to all other Liens (including competing ownership interests), other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the jurisdiction of Originator’s Location.

(e) Location of Chief Executive Office, etc. As of the date hereof: (i) Originator’s Chief Executive Office is located at the address for notices set forth on the signature page hereof; (ii) Originator has only the Subsidiaries and divisions listed on Exhibit II hereto; (iii) the offices where Originator keeps all of its Records with respect to any Receivables are listed on Exhibit II hereto; and (iv) Originator has, within the last 5 years, operated only under the trade names identified in Exhibit II hereto, and, within the last 5 years, has not changed its name, merged or consolidated with any other corporation or been the subject of any proceeding under Title 11, United States Code (Bankruptcy), except as disclosed in Exhibit II hereto.

(f) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from Originator) (i) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Receivable, its Related Security, Collections and related Proceeds originated by Originator, whether now existing and hereafter arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with each such Receivable, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables, the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds. Originator’s jurisdiction of organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.

(g) Absence of Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery by Originator of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by Originator of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor the performance by Originator of or the compliance by Originator with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, will (i) violate any Law or (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of or a default under (A) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Originator or (B) any agreement or instrument, including, without limitation, any and all indentures, debentures, loans or other agreements to which Originator is a party or by which it or any of its properties (now owned or hereafter acquired) may be subject or bound, which would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of Originator or result in rendering any debt evidenced thereby due and payable prior to its maturity or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien pursuant to the terms of any such instrument or agreement upon any property (now owned or hereafter acquired) of Originator. Originator has not entered into any agreement with any Obligor prohibiting, restricting or conditioning the assignment of any portion of the Receivables.

(h) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. No information furnished in writing by a Responsible Officer of Originator pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date of which such information was furnished (including by omission of material information necessary to make such information not misleading).

(i) No Proceedings. Except as set forth in Exhibit VIII, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Originator, threatened, against or affecting Originator or its properties in or before any Official Body which (i) seeks any determination or ruling that might materially adversely affect (A) the performance by Originator of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or any material amount of the Receivables, (ii) asserts the invalidity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or (iii) seeks to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(j) Bulk Sales Act. No transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(k) Litigation. No injunction, decree or other decision has been issued or made by any Official Body that prevents, and to the knowledge of Originator, no threat by any Person has been made to attempt to obtain any such decision that would have a material adverse impact on, the conduct by Originator of a significant portion of Originator’s business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds, and no litigation, investigation or proceeding exists asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents, seeking to prevent the consummation of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect (A) the performance by Originator of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or a material amount of the Receivables. Originator has paid on a timely basis all of its obligations arising out of judgments, proceedings or investigations except those which it is appealing in good faith.

(l) Margin Regulations. The use of all funds acquired by Originator under this Agreement will not conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

(m) Taxes. Originator has timely filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns and paid or contested any assessment received by Originator related to such returns.

(n) Books and Records. Originator has indicated on its books and records (including any computer files) that the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds are the property of the Buyer. Originator maintains at, or shall cause the Servicer to maintain at, one or more of their respective offices listed on Exhibit II hereto the complete records for the Receivables.

(o) Creditor Approval. Originator has obtained from its creditors (i) all approvals necessary to sell and assign the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds and (ii) releases of any security interests in the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds.

(p) Financial Condition. Originator is not insolvent or the subject of any Event of Bankruptcy and the sale of the Receivables on such day will not be made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof.

(q) Financial Information. If and when produced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the consolidated balance sheet of Originator as of the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income of Originator for the Fiscal Year then ended, fairly present the consolidated financial position of Originator as of such date and the consolidated results of the operations, all in accordance with GAAP.

(r) Investment Company. Originator is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Originator is not a “holding company” or a “subsidiary holding company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute.

(s) ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of the Originator and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $25,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans.

(t) Separate Corporate Existence. Originator is entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance on the Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity from Originator and each of its Affiliates, and acknowledges that the Buyer and the other parties to the Transaction Documents are similarly entering into the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Documents in reliance on the Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity from Originator and each such other Affiliate. Originator has at all times complied with Section 4.1(r).

(u) No Fraudulent Conveyance. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by each of the Facility Documents are being consummated by Originator in furtherance of Originator’s ordinary business, with no contemplation of insolvency and with no intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its present or future creditors. By its receipt of the Purchase Price hereunder and its ownership of the capital stock of the Buyer, Originator shall have received reasonably equivalent value for the Purchased Assets sold or otherwise conveyed to the Buyer under this Agreement. No transfer hereunder by Originator of any Receivable originated by Originator is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(v) Ownership of Buyer. Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Buyer. Such equity interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer.

(w) Compliance with Law. Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations or any Receivables.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of Originator Concerning the Receivables. By selling Receivables to the Buyer on each Purchase Date, Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof, on the date of the Purchase from Originator hereunder and on each date that any Receivable is originated by Originator or on or after the date of such Purchase, that:

(a) Assignment. This Agreement vests in the Buyer all the right, title and interest of Originator in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and Proceeds, and constitutes a valid sale of the Receivables, enforceable against, and creating an interest prior in right to, all creditors of and purchasers from Originator.

(b) No Liens. Each Receivable, together with the related Contract and all purchase orders and other agreements related to such Receivable, is owned by Originator free and clear of any Lien. When the Buyer makes a purchase of a Receivable it shall have acquired and shall continue to have maintained an ownership interest in such Receivable and in the Related Security, the Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien arising in connection with this Agreement). Originator has not and will not prior to the time of the sale of any such interest to the Buyer have sold, pledged, assigned, transferred or subjected to a Lien any of the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections, and Proceeds other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Filings. On or prior to each Purchase Date, all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections, and Proceeds against all creditors of and purchasers from Originator and all other Persons whatsoever have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have been paid in full.

(d) Credit and Collection Policy. Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable and related Contract. Neither Originator nor any other Person has extended or modified the terms of any Receivable or the related Contract except in accordance with Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.

(e) Nature of Receivables. Each Receivable is, or will be, an eligible asset within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time.

(f) Bona Fide Receivables. Each Receivable is an obligation of an Obligor arising out of a past, current or future sale or performance by Originator, in accordance with the terms of the Contract giving rise to such Receivable. Originator has no knowledge of any fact that should have led it to expect at the time of the initial creation of an interest in any Receivable hereunder that such Receivable would not be paid in full when due except with respect to any Dilution. Each Receivable classified as an “Eligible Receivable” by Originator in any document or report delivered hereunder satisfies the requirements of eligibility contained in the definition of Eligible Receivable at the time such document or report was delivered.

(g) Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 4.1(x) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of Originator at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit III. Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and its assigns) dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.

(h) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by Buyer hereunder.

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

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Originator, Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). Originator may not assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign at any time its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any other Person without the consent of Originator. Without limiting the foregoing, Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, may assign to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and that the Administrator may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement.

This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by Originator pursuant to Article II; (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VI; and (iii) Section 7.5 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

	•		All fees (issuing, negotiating, confirming and wire) should be paid by the purchaser (customer) or including in the cost of goods.
	•		All letters of credit are to be irrevocable and provide for partial draws.
	•		All accounts supported by letters of credit should have a “switch on” credit line no larger than the stated amount.
	•		Purchasing accounts must be calendared to expire at a time prior to L/C expiration so that if payment is not made, ABC has at least two weeks remaining to submit a draft for payment on all balances. The last purchase must be resolved at least two weeks prior to expiration of the L/C.

	•		All non-USA sales are to be via letters of credit.
	•		The Treasury Department is to be advised of proposed letters of credit to assure the issuing bank is of acceptable quality and reliability. No letter of credit can be drawn on a Liberian Bank, for example, and the Treasury Department is aware of any government or political restrictions.

	d.		Depository accounts
			All accounts approved based on depository balances due to credit risk should be supported by ABC standard Security Agreement. The Security Agreement, incorporated into the Application for Credit and Purchase Agreement, provides ABC with appropriate collateral rights to deposits.

5.5		Secondary Account to an Existing Customer:
5.5.1		In the event an existing customer requests a secondary account, it is not necessary to request a completed new account application if a fully-approved application is in the customer file.

In addition, the customer must submit a Payment Terms confirmation (Exhibit E, Additional Account Confirmation) that asks for acknowledgement that the obligations of the secondary account are the responsibility of the primary account owner. The signed copy of the Application for Credit and the Payment Terms form are to be retained in the customer’s credit file.
5.6		PROMISSORY NOTE APPLICATION AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES
5.6.1		Applications for House Notes (see Exhibit F):

	a.		All new money promissory note applications, regardless of dollar value or purpose, are to be initiated by the Regional Directors of Credit.

	e.		Mortgages on real estate are preferred collateral, and are valued through a licensed appraisal service.

Conforming Loan Parameters should include the following:

	a.		[*****]
	b.		Tangible net worth (aggregate business and guarantor(s)) should be at least [*****]% of the requested loan amount.
	c.		Acceptable collateral valuations should be supported by real estate appraisals from a qualified appraiser and physical inventory reports.

Notes on Collection Activities

10.3		“Plus” payments
		Provided the account has not indicated the intent to file bankruptcy, the collector may negotiate a plus payment schedule with a duration not to exceed 3 months, if the balance is below $50,000. Otherwise, the negotiation should be the responsibility of the RDC or Designee.

	b.		Plus payments must be sufficient to repay all delinquent balances with lost discounts and late charges in no longer than 6 months. Any exceptions must be documents and approved by RVP.
	c.		If dishonored checks are received, if invoices are not paid in full when due or if required plus payment is missed, the account is to be placed on credit hold. See Policy #12, Returned items (NSF Checks) for additional guidance on handling dishonored checks.
	d.		It is recommended that a file be maintained to include all accounts on plus payment status, and an amortization schedule to eliminate the delinquency by account. The RDC or Designee has responsibility for monitoring the progress and identifying missed payments.

	c.		[*****]
	d.		Should the customer fail to comply with the terms of the work out agreement, the account is to be referred to outside legal counsel or a collections agency immediately after the 2nd payment default. The decision to place with an attorney or collection agency is the responsibility of the RDC or Designee. Each situation is unique, and the RDC or Designee has the discretion to determine what is appropriate. If the decision is made to refer the matter to an attorney, it is required that the Senior Litigation Counsel at the Corporate Legal Department is consulted to select the firm to represent our company.

Alternatively, if timing issues prohibit the use of the ABC Legal Department for the letter preparation, the RDC may elect to prepare the reclamation letter. Copies of all RDC-prepared reclamation letters must be forwarded to the litigation paralegal at the ABC Legal Department on the date of the letter distribution to the customer.

Form of Subordinated Note

SUBORDINATED NOTE

                    , 200____

1. Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Amerisource Receivables Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SPV”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [ORIGINATOR NAME], a(n)                      ***[corporation] [limited liability company] [partnership]*** (“Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on or before the date following the Termination Date which is one year and one day after the date on which (i) the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables sold by Originator under the ”Sale Agreement” referred to below has been reduced to zero and (ii) Originator has paid to Buyer all indemnities, adjustments and other amounts which may be owed thereunder in connection with the Purchase thereunder (the “Collection Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all ”Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by Originator to SPV pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of July 10, 2003 among Originator and certain of its affiliates, as sellers, and SPV, as buyer (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”). Reference to Section 1.3 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of each month (or portion thereof) during the term of this Subordinated Note, computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and changing on the first business day of each month hereafter (“LIBOR”); provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

3. Principal Payments. Originator is authorized and directed by SPV to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by SPV, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of SPV hereunder.

4. Subordination. Originator shall have the right to receive, and SPV shall make, any and all payments and prepayments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note provided that, after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to) owned by SPV at such time exceeds the sum of (a) the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) outstanding at such time under the Purchase Agreement, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note. Originator hereby agrees that at any time during which the conditions set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, Originator shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of SPV owing to the Administrator or any Purchaser under that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of July 10, 2003 by and among SPV, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, as initial Servicer (the “Servicer”), various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto, and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as the ”Administrator” (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Administrator and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement. Until the date on which the “Aggregate Invested Amount” outstanding under the Purchase Agreement has been repaid in full and all other obligations of SPV and/or the Servicer thereunder and under the ”Fee Letter” referenced therein (all such obligations, collectively, the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not institute against SPV any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(b) of the Sale Agreement unless and until the Collection Date has occurred. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of this Section 4, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Administrator for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(b) of the Sale Agreement involving SPV as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Aggregate Invested Amount and the Senior Claim (including ”Yield” as defined and as accruing under the Purchase Agreement after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Yield is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrator for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

6. Amendments. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended or modified except in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Sale Agreement. The terms of this Subordinated Note may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers.

7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE HAS BEEN MADE AND DELIVERED AT NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.

8. Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.

A favorable opinion of legal counsel for Originator licensed to give opinions under New York law reasonably acceptable to Buyer (and the Administrator, as Buyer’s assignee) as to the following:

(a) Originator is a Delaware corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware.

(b) Originator has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on Originator’s business.

(c) The execution and delivery by Originator of the Receivables Sale Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and its performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action and proceedings on the part of Originator and will not:

(i) require any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (other than the filing of UCC financing statements);

(ii) contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon Originator; or

(iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of Originator or any of its Subsidiaries (except as contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement).

(d) The Receivables Sale Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Originator and constitutes the legally valid, and binding obligation of Originator enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject also to the availability of equitable remedies if equitable remedies are sought.

(e) In the event that the receivables Sale Agreement is held to create a transfer for security purposes rather than a true sale or other outright assignment, the provisions of the Receivables Sale Agreement are effective to create valid security interests in favor of Buyer in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and Related Security described therein which constitute “accounts,” “chattel paper” or “general intangibles” (each as defined in the UCC) (collectively, the “Opinion Collateral”), as security for the payment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to Originator in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (as defined therein) of the Receivables (as defined therein) acquired from Originator, together with all other obligations of Originator thereunder.

(f) Each of the UCC-1 Financing Statements naming Originator as debtor, Buyer, as secured party, and Administrator, as assignee of secured party to be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, is in appropriate form for filing therein. Upon filing of such UCC-1 Financing Statements in such filing offices and payment of the required filing fees, the security interest in favor of Buyer in the Opinion Collateral will be perfected and assigned of record to the Administrator.

(g) Based solely on our review of the UCC Search Reports described in Paragraph 4 to this Schedule A, and assuming (i) the filing of the Financing Statements and payment of the required filing fees in accordance with paragraph (f) and (ii) the absence of any intervening filings between the date and time of the Search Reports and the date and time of the filing of the Financing Statements, the security interest of Buyer in the Opinion Collateral is prior to any security interest granted in the Opinion Collateral by Originator, the priority of which is determined solely by the filing of a financing statement in the appropriate filing offices.

(h) To the best of the opinion giver’s knowledge, there is no action, suit or other proceeding against Originator or any Affiliate of Originator, which would materially adversely affect the business or financial condition of Originator and its Affiliates taken as a whole or which would materially adversely affect the ability of Originator to perform its obligations under the Receivables Sale Agreement.
