R E C I T A L S:
     A. Borrower, the subsidiaries of Borrower party thereto, Agent, the Collateral Manager, the lending institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”) and other entities party thereto have entered into that certain credit agreement, dated as of March 25, 2010, as such credit agreement is being Amended and Restated in its entirety as of the date hereof pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated credit agreement (as so amended and restated and as further amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the Security Agreement.
     B. Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Agent and the Collateral Manager entered into this Collateral Management Agreement (as in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Date, the “Existing CMA”) to provide for, among other things, certain matters with respect to the Collateral.
     C. Borrower and the other Loan Parties have received and will continue to receive substantial benefits from the execution, delivery and performance of the Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and are, therefore, willing to enter into this Agreement to amend and restate the Existing CMA in the manner set forth herein.
     D. This Agreement is given by each Loan Party in favor of the Collateral Agent and Collateral Manager for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations and each of the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Manager agrees to act, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
     E. It is a condition to the obligations of the Lenders to make the Loans under the Credit Agreement and a condition to the Issuing Bank issuing Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement that the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Collateral Manager and the Agent execute and deliver the applicable Loan Documents, including this Agreement.
     Accordingly, the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Agent and the Collateral Manager each agrees to AMEND AND RESTATE the Existing CMA on the Restatement Date in its entirety as follows:

 


 

ARTICLE I.
COLLATERAL MANAGER FEES, INDEMNITIES AND AUTHORIZATIONS
     Section 1.01 Indemnities. Each of the Loan Parties hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager and its respective Affiliates (together with their respective directors, officers, agents, representatives, shareholders, lenders, counsel and employees, each an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) and liabilities which are actually incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of this Collateral Management Agreement, the amendment and restatement hereof, or the financings contemplated under the Loan Documents, the Collateral (including, without limitation, the use thereof by any of such Persons or any other Person, the exercise by the Collateral Manager of rights and remedies or any power of attorney hereunder, and any action or inaction of the Collateral Manager hereunder and in accordance with any Loan Document), the use of proceeds of any financial accommodations provided hereunder, any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (brought or threatened) relating thereto, or the role of any such Person or Persons in connection with the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is named as a party to any legal action or proceeding (“Claims”). No Loan Party will be responsible to any Indemnified Party hereunder for any Claims to the extent that a court having jurisdiction shall have determined by a final nonappealable judgment that any such Claim shall have arisen out of or resulted directly and principally from (i)(1) actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Party by reason of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnified Party, or (2) in violation of any law or regulation applicable to such Indemnified Party (except to the extent that such violation is attributable to any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement by or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of their designees, in each case, as determined by a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) a successful claim by any Loan Party against such Indemnified Party (“Excluded Claims”). The Indemnified Party shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of any Claim setting forth a description of those elements of the Claim of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge. The Collateral Manager, as an Indemnified Party, shall be permitted hereunder to select counsel to defend such Claim with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Borrower and, if such Indemnified Party shall decide to do so, then all such Indemnified Parties shall select the same counsel to defend such Indemnified Parties with respect to such Claim; provided, however, that if any such Indemnified Party shall in its reasonable opinion consider that the retention of one joint counsel as aforesaid shall result in a conflict of interest, such Indemnified Party may, at the expense of the Borrower, select its own counsel to defend such Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim. The Indemnified Parties and the Borrower and their respective counsel shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in any investigation, trial and defense of any such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.
     Section 1.02 Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Collateral Manager may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Collateral Manager in good faith to be from an Financial Officer of the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation.

EXHIBIT V
to Collateral Management Agreement
SERVICING RESPONSIBILITIES
     The Borrower on behalf of each Loan Party shall be responsible for the following administration and servicing obligations (the “Servicing Responsibilities”) which shall be performed by the Borrower until such time as a successor servicer shall be designated and shall accept appointment pursuant to Section 3.04(b) of this Collateral Management Agreement:
     (a) Servicing Standards and Activities. The Borrower agrees to administer and service its Receivables (i) within the parameters of services set forth in paragraph (b) of this Exhibit V, as such parameters may be modified by mutual written agreement of the Collateral Manager and the Borrower, (ii) in compliance at all times with applicable law and with this Collateral Management Agreements, covenants, objectives, policies and procedures set forth in this Collateral Management Agreement, and (iii) in accordance with industry standards for servicing healthcare receivables unless such standards conflict with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this Exhibit V in which case the provisions of paragraph (b) shall control. The Borrower shall establish and maintain electronic data processing services for monitoring, administering and collecting the Receivables in accordance with the foregoing standards and shall, within three Business Days of the deposit of any checks, other forms of cash deposits, or other written matter into a Lockbox, post such information to its electronic data processing services.
     (b) Parameters of Primary Servicing. The Servicing Responsibilities shall be performed within the following parameters:
     (i) Subject to the review and authority of the Collateral Manager and the Agent and except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall have full power and authority to take all actions that it may deem necessary or desirable, consistent in all material respects with its existing policies and procedures with respect to the administration and servicing of accounts receivable, in connection with the administration and servicing of its Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder, act in accordance with all legal requirements and subject to the terms and conditions of this Collateral Management Agreement.
     (ii) During the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Manager’s request or the Agent’s request, all enforcement and collection proceedings with respect to the Receivables shall, unless prohibited by applicable law, be instituted and prosecuted in the name of the Collateral Agent.
     (iii) No Borrower shall change in any material respect its existing policies and procedures with respect to the administration and servicing of accounts receivable (including, without limitation, the amount and timing of write-offs) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager (with contemporaneous written notice thereof (in reasonable detail) to the Agent).

Exhibit V-1


 

     (iv) The Borrower will be responsible for monitoring and collecting the Receivables, including, without limitation, contacting Obligors that have not made payment on their respective Receivables within the customary time period for such Obligor, and resubmitting any claim rejected by an Obligor due to incomplete information.
     (v) If the Borrower determines that a payment with respect to a Receivable has been received directly by a pharmacy or any other Person, the Borrower shall promptly advise the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to presume that the reason such payment was made to such pharmacy or other Person was because of a breach of representation or warranty in this Collateral Management Agreement with respect to such Receivable (such as, by way of example, the forms related to such Receivable not being properly completed so as to provide for direct payment by the Obligor to the applicable Borrower), unless such Borrower shall demonstrate that such is not the case. In the case of any such Receivable which is determined not to be a Denied Receivable, the Borrower shall promptly demand that such pharmacy or other Person remit and return such funds. If such funds are not promptly received by the applicable Borrower, the Borrower shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such funds.
     (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Borrower may amend, waive or otherwise permit or agree to any deviation from the terms or conditions of any Receivable in any material respect without the prior consent of the Collateral Manager.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Collateral Manager or Collateral Agent or the Agent may, by written notice, terminate the performance of the Servicing Responsibilities by the Borrower, in which event such Borrower shall immediately transfer to a successor servicer designated by the Collateral Manager or the Agent, as the case may be, all records, computer access and other information as shall be necessary or desirable, in the reasonable judgment of such successor servicer, to perform such responsibilities. The Borrower shall otherwise cooperate fully with such successor servicer.

Exhibit V-2


 

EXHIBIT VI
to Collateral Management Agreement
INTERFACE WITH COLLATERAL MANAGER
     1. The Collateral Manager will convey appropriate data requirements and instructions to the Borrower to establish a computer interface between each Loan Party’s systems and the Collateral Manager’s receivables monitoring system. The interface will permit the Collateral Manager to receive electronically teach Loan Party’s accounts receivable data, including the Receivable Information, billing data and collection and other transaction data relating to the Receivables.
     2. The Loan Parties shall give the Collateral Manager at least ten Business Days’ notice of any coding changes or electronic data processing system modifications made by such Borrower which could affect the Collateral Manager’s processing or interpretation of data received through the interface.
     3. The Collateral Manager shall have no responsibility to return to the Loan Parties any information which the Collateral Manager receives pursuant to the computer interface.
     4. The Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, will prepare weekly accounts receivable data files of all transaction types for such Borrower’s sites that are included in the program. The weekly cutoff will occur at a predetermined time each week, and the weekly cutoff date for all of the sites must occur at exactly the same time. The cutoff date that will be selected will be at the end of business for a specific day of the week, or in other words, at the end of such Borrower’s transaction posting process for that day. The Borrower will temporarily maintain a copy of the accounts data files in the event that the data is degraded or corrupted during transmission, and needs to be re-transmitted.
     5. The Collateral Manager will be responsible for the management of the hardware, communications and software used in the program.
     6. The Collateral Manager’s data center will receive the Receivable files, and immediately confirm that the files have been passed without degradation or corruption of data by balancing the detailed items to the control totals that accompany the files. Any problems in this process will be immediately reported to the Borrower so that the Receivable file can be re-transmitted, if necessary.
     7. Once the receipt of the Receivable data has been confirmed, the Collateral Manager will perform certain tests and edits to ensure that each Receivable meets the specified eligibility criteria. Compliance with concentration limits will be verified and the Collateral Manager will notify the Collateral Manager that the Eligible Receivables have been determined.
     8. Each Loan Party’s sites will continue to post daily transactions to their respective Receivable files. Each Loan Party’s Receivable files for each of the eligible sites will include all transactions posted through that day. The Borrower will create a transaction report and a Receivable file for each of the eligible sites. The transaction report will contain all transactions posted to the respective site Receivable file for the specified period (and will indicate the

Exhibit VI-1


 

respective site and the number of items and total dollars on each transaction report for control purposes). The Receivable file will contain balances that reflect the transactions posted on the Loan Parties’s systems through the end of business of the specified period.
     9. The Borrower will transmit the billing, transaction, and the most current Receivable data files to the Collateral Manager’s data center according to the established schedule. The Borrower should, again, maintain the backup of each of these files in the event that a re-transmission is necessary.
     10. The Collateral Manager’s data center will confirm that the files have been received intact, and will immediately communicate any problems to the Borrower in order to initiate a re-transmission. The Collateral Manager will then post the transaction files to the accounts receivable for accounts that the Collateral Manager is maintaining, and consequently update the affected balances. Upon completion of the posting process, the Collateral Manager will generate summary reports of the posting process that the Collateral Manager will use to complete various funding activities. The Collateral Manager summary reports will reference the Loan Parties’s transaction codes and activity to codes that are common to the funding program.
     11. The Collateral Manager will then compare the updated accounts balances on the Collateral Manager’s system to the corresponding account balances reflected on the Receivable file. The Collateral Manager expects that the balances for the funded Receivables will be congruent, and any discrepancies will be immediately examined and resolved through the cooperative effort of the Collateral Manager and the Loan Parties. The Collateral Manager shall produce discrepancy reports (e.g., “Funding Only” or “Out of Balance” reports) and the Borrower shall respond promptly to such reports.
     12. Once the reconciliation process has been completed and any discrepancies between the Collateral Manager and the Loan Parties’s Receivable files resolved through the discrepancy report process described in paragraph 9 above, the Collateral Manager will then process the Receivable file and advise the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager will then proceed through exactly the same process described in paragraph 6 above.
