Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 13, 2015, CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Health Systems, Inc., and certain of CHS’ subsidiaries (the “Originators”) amended their existing accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Facility”) with a group of conduit lenders and liquidity banks (the “Lenders”), Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as a managing agent and as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), The Bank of Nova Scotia, as a managing agent, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as a managing agent.

In connection with the amendment of the Receivables Facility, CHS and certain of CHS’ subsidiaries entered into a Fifth Omnibus Amendment of the Receivables Facility in which the Receivables Sale Agreement, Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement and Receivables Loan Agreement were amended to extend the facility scheduled termination date and amend certain other provisions thereof.

Pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2012 (as amended through November 13, 2015, the “Sale Agreement”), among the Originators, CHSPSC, LLC (as successor-by-conversion to Community Health Systems Professional Services Corporation), as the collection agent (the “Collection Agent”), and CHS, the Originators agreed to sell all existing and future health care accounts receivable, other than self-pay, originated by the Originators during the term of the Receivables Facility (collectively, the “Receivables”) and other related assets to CHS in exchange for cash and subordinated notes. The Originators and CHS intend for the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement to be true sales to CHS by the respective Originators.

Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2012 (as amended through November 13, 2015, the “Purchase Agreement”), among CHS, the Collection Agent and CHS Receivables Funding, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHS (“CHS Receivables”), CHS agreed to sell or contribute Receivables and other related assets to CHS Receivables in exchange for cash and/or equity. CHS and CHS Receivables intend for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to be true sales or absolute contributions to CHS Receivables by CHS.

Pursuant to the Receivables Loan Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2012 (as amended through November 13, 2015, the “Loan Agreement”), among CHS Receivables, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders party thereto, the financial institutions party thereto as managing agents for the conduit lenders, and the Collection Agent, CHS Receivables agreed to grant security interests in its Receivables and other related assets to the Administrative Agent in exchange for borrowings from the Lenders of up to $700 million outstanding from time to time based on the availability of eligible Receivables and other customary factors. Borrowings will be funded by either (i) the issuance of asset backed commercial paper by the conduit lenders or (ii) drawing under the committed liquidity facility provided by the liquidity banks. The lenders under the Loan Agreement are entitled to receive interest for each day that their loans are outstanding. In addition, CHS Receivables will pay upfront fees to the managing agents and the Administrative Agent for their services and ongoing usage fees to the committed lenders and conduits lenders for their participation in the facility. Unless earlier terminated or subsequently extended pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Receivables Facility will expire on November 13, 2017. The Loan Agreement contains customary termination events that could cause an early termination date, including, among other things, the failure to make timely payments or deposits under the Loan Agreement, breach of covenants, the failure to make timely payments under other indebtedness, certain changes of control and the failure to meet certain leverage ratios and Receivables ratios.

CHS has agreed to guarantee the performance of the Collection Agent under the Sale Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement. CHS has not agreed to guarantee the collection of any of the Receivables and CHS is not responsible for any guaranteed obligations to the extent that the failure to perform such guaranteed obligations by the Collection Agent results from any Receivable being uncollectible on account of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the related obligor under such Receivable.

The foregoing summary of the Sale Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Fifth Omnibus Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated into this report by reference.

its designee in same day funds, at the account specified in the Funding Request, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the Advance then being made. During a Deferred Funding Period, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.01 and Article III (i) on each Deferred Funding Date, each Lender member of a Conforming Lender Group shall make available to its related Managing Agent, for deposit to the account of the Borrower or its designee in same day funds, at the account specified in the Funding Request, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the Advance then being made, and (ii) on each Deferred Funding Settlement Date, each Deferred Funding Lender shall make available Advances in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(h). Each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate each wire transfer of an Advance to the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date, Deferred Funding Date or Deferred Funding Settlement Date, as applicable. Each Lender agrees that either (i) no portion of any Advance shall be funded or held with “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or (ii) the funding and holding of any portion of any Advance shall not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(h) Special Provisions for Deferred Fundings.

(i) At any time, three Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent of a Deferred Funding Certificate from a Managing Agent, the related Committed Lender shall become a “Deferred Funding Lender” and its related Lender Group shall become a “Deferred Funding Lender Group”. Such designation shall remain in effect until such time as the related Deferred Funding Lender Agent issues a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent withdrawing such designation (a “Deferred Funding De-Designation Notice”) effective as of the date such notice is delivered or as of such later date specified therein (such effective date, the “Deferred Funding De-Designation Date”). Effective as of the Deferred Funding De-Designation Date, each Committed Lender that is a Deferred Funding Lender, and each related Lender Group that is a Deferred Funding Lender Group, shall cease to be a Deferred Funding Lender or a Deferred Funding Lender Group, as applicable, and shall, for all purposes other than pursuant to the proviso hereto, be deemed to be a Conforming Lender and a Conforming Lender Group, as applicable; provided that in connection with any Advance outstanding as of the Deferred Funding De-Designation Date for which any Deferred Funding Lender has not, as of such date, paid its Deferred Funding Amounts, such Deferred Funding De-Designation Date shall be deemed to be the Deferred Funding Settlement Date for such Advance and such Deferred Funding Lender shall comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.01(h)(ii) and Section 2.01(h)(iii) for such Deferred Funding Settlement Date.

(ii) On each Deferred Funding Settlement Date, each Deferred Funding Lender shall make available to its Managing Agent the Deferred Funding Amount, which amount (1) if such Deferred Funding Settlement Date occurs prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or Termination Date hereunder, shall be deposited in the account of the Borrower or its designee as an Advance hereunder, and (2) if such Deferred Funding Settlement Date occurs following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Termination Date hereunder, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution on the same Business Day to the Lenders (including such Deferred Lender) ratably

(calculated presuming that all unfunded Deferred Funding Advance Shortfalls of any other Deferred Funding Lender Groups have been fully funded); provided that such Deferred Funding Lender shall not fund to the Administrative Agent and shall instead net out of its ratable portion of the Deferred Funding Amount any amounts that it is entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent under this clause (h)(ii)(2); provided, in no event shall any such payment reduce the Revolving Principal Balance of any Lender or Lender Group below zero. Upon the payment of the Deferred Funding Amount in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii)(2) above and without any further action on the part of such Deferred Funding Lender making such payment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, the Deferred Funding Lender making such payment will have acquired, and each Lender receiving a distribution of a portion of such payment will have granted to such Deferred Funding Lender, without recourse or warranty, its portions of the Revolving Principal Balances that were reduced by application of the distribution of such Deferred Funding Amount by the Administrative Agent. The Revolving Principal Balance owing to each Lender member of a Lender Group other than such Deferred Funding Lender’s Deferred Funding Lender Group shall be reduced by the amount of any portion of such payment received by such Lender and the Revolving Principal Balance owing to the Deferred Funding Lender making such payment shall be increased by all amounts so paid such that the aggregate Revolving Principal Balance of all Lenders outstanding hereunder immediately prior to such payment and distribution shall be unchanged and shall continue to equal to the aggregate Revolving Principal Balance of all Lenders outstanding hereunder immediately following such payment and distribution.

(iii) The obligation of each Deferred Funding Lender to fund the Deferred Funding Amount on the related Deferred Funding Settlement Date is subject to any valid and timely claims of a Deferred Funding Lender under clause (iv) below, but is otherwise absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (1) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Deferred Funding Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders, the Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of an Default, Event of Default or Termination Date; (3) the termination of the Revolving Period, (4) the reduction or termination of any Commitments; or (5) any other occurrence, event, or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing (in each case, so long as such Advance does not result in the aggregate Advances then funded by the related Deferred Funding Lender Group exceeding such Deferred Funding Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit then in effect. The funding or failure to fund the Deferred Funding Amount will not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Principal Balance of each Lender, together with interest as provided in this Agreement.

(iv) A Deferred Funding Lender may not object to its funding obligation of Deferred Funding Amounts under Section 2.01(g) and (h) on the basis of the failure of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.01 and Article III as of the Deferred Funding Date so long as all such conditions were satisfied as of the related Funding Date; provided that the absolute and unconditional funding obligations of a Deferred Funding Lender of Deferred Funding Amounts set forth in this Section 2.01 do not constitute a waiver of any rights of such Deferred Funding Lender or of rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including such Deferred Funding Lender) against the Borrower, in each case, as set forth hereunder.

(v) Each Deferred Funding Lender acknowledges that the Conforming Lender Groups have relied on the obligation of the Deferred Funding Lender to fund the Deferred Funding Amount in making Advances hereunder and is an intended beneficiary of such obligation.

(viii) all deposit accounts, securities accounts, investment property, accounts, chattel paper, documents, goods, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, letter-of-credit rights, inventory, contract rights, equipment, money, cash and cash equivalents, and all other personal property of whatever kind or nature whatsoever;

The Administrative Agent agrees that marking each financial class of Receivables that does not fall under the definition of “Ineligible Receivable” shall be acceptable.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of the Borrower where permitted by law, including any financing statement describing the Collateral as “all assets” of the Borrower. The parties intend this Agreement to be a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC.

(d) Subject to Applicable Law, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at any time from and after an Event of Default and at the Borrower’s expense, notify the Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, or other obligors under any of the Collateral, of the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Receivables and other Collateral, as applicable.

The Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such request promptly to each Managing Agent.

(b) Each Managing Agent shall give prompt notice to each of the Lenders in its related Lender Group of its receipt of such request for extension of the Scheduled Termination Date. Each Lender shall make a determination, in its sole discretion and after a full review as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that each Lender’s determination shall be made no later than 60 days after the date of the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent of such request for extension; provided further that the failure of any Lender to make a timely response to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Scheduled Termination Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Lender to extend the Scheduled Termination Date.

 

42

(c) In the event that any of the existing Lenders agree to extend the Scheduled Termination Date, or to assign their Commitment prior to the Scheduled Termination Date to a Lender agreeing to extend the Scheduled Termination Date, the Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent and such extending Lenders shall enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent and such Lenders may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ and auditors’ fees) shall be paid by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.04. Optional Reduction in Facility Limit; Optional Prepayments and Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) On any Payment Date (or, solely in the case of the reduction of the Facility Limit in whole, on any Business Day), the Borrower shall be entitled at its option, to reduce the Facility Limit in whole or in part; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give written notice of such reduction to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent at least three Business Days prior to the date of such reduction, (ii) no Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist as a result of such reduction, (iii) any partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an amount equal to $25,000,000 with integral multiples of $5,000,000 above such amount, (iv) the Facility Limit shall not be reduced below $100,000,000 unless such reduction is in connection with the termination of all Commitments and the prepayment in full of all Obligations (other than Obligations that are contingent as to liability) and (v) in the case of the reduction of the Facility Limit in whole on any date other than a Payment Date, the Borrower shall give written notice of its intent to reduce the Facility Limit in whole at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such reduction, which shall be followed by the notice to be made pursuant to clause (i) of this proviso confirming the date of such reduction.

(b) The Lenders hereby agree that any reduction in the Facility Limit shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender ratably in proportion to any such reduction in the Facility Limit; provided that, if there is a Defaulting Lender at the time of such reduction, the Borrower may at its option direct that such reduction be applied first to reduce the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender to (but not below) the Revolving Loan Balance owing such Defaulting Lender and then applied to reduce the Commitments of the remaining Lenders ratably.

(c) Any request for a reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be irrevocable.

(d) From time to time during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may prepay (an “Optional Prepayment”) any portion or all of the Advances by the Borrower delivering a Borrower Notice to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Optional Prepayment (or, in each case, such later time as the applicable Lenders, in their respective sole discretion, may agree), specifying the date and amount of the Optional Prepayment.

Any partial Optional Prepayment by the Borrower of Advances hereunder, other than with respect to Mandatory Prepayments, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 with integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount. Any amount so prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Period. A Borrower Notice relating to any such Optional Prepayment shall be irrevocable two Business Days prior to the date of prepayment specified therein.

(a) All Advances shall, for purposes of calculating Interest, be allocated to one or more “Fixed Periods” as set forth in the definition of such term, and each such portion allocated to a particular Fixed Period is referred to herein as a “Tranche” (each, a “Tranche”).

(b) Each Tranche shall reflect the funding sources for the outstanding principal balance of Advances associated therewith so that (i) there may be one or more Tranches, selected by the applicable Managing Agent, reflecting the portion of the outstanding principal balance of Advances funded by a funding made by a liquidity or credit support provider to the Lender and (ii) there may be one or more Tranches allocated to the portion of the outstanding principal balance of Advances funded by the Commercial Paper of a Conduit Lender. For avoidance of doubt, amounts outstanding in any Tranche may be combined with other Tranches from time to time in the discretion of the Managing Agent to reflect the applicable funding sources for such Tranches as described above.

(i) If any Advance requested by the Borrower hereunder, or any selection of a subsequent Fixed Period for any Revolving Principal Balance requested by the Borrower and approved by the applicable Managing Agent pursuant to Section 2.05 is not for any reason, other than the act or omission of a Lender, a Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent (or their agents or employees) contrary to this Agreement, made or effectuated, as the case may be, on the date specified therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or

SECTION 2.07. Payment and Collection Procedures Generally.

(a) To the extent not so previously instructed, the Collection Agent or the Borrower will, or will cause each Originator to prepare, execute and deliver to each Obligor (or, in the case of a Governmental Entity, its fiscal intermediary) who is proposed to be a payor of Receivables, with copies to the Administrative Agent, a Notice, which notice shall, among other things, instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account.

(b) The Collection Agent shall, or shall direct the Borrower to, take all actions necessary and appropriate to ensure that (i) on each Business Day (whether or not the Termination Date has occurred) (x) all Collections received in the Lock-Boxes are deposited into a Collection Account and (y) all Collections received in or deposited into the Collection Accounts are transferred in same day funds to the applicable Concentration Account and (ii) all Collections not received in a Lock-Box or a Collection Account are deposited into or transferred to the applicable Concentration Account no later than two Business Days from receipt by the Collection Agent, the Borrower, the Transferor or an Originator, as the case may be.

(a) If on any day a Receivable in the Borrowing Base no longer qualifies as an Eligible Receivable because (i) the Expected Net Value of any Receivable is either (x) reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed merchandise, any defective or rejected services, any failure to provide services, any discount, rebate or any other adjustment made or performed by the Borrower or any other Person or (y) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator, (ii) any of the representations or warranties in Section 4.01(h) is no longer true with respect to such Receivable or the Borrower or the Collection Agent discovers or is notified that such Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable on the day it was included in the Borrowing Base or (iii) for any other reason pursuant to the terms hereunder, the Borrower or the Collection Agent shall recalculate the Borrowing Base as of such day after giving effect to the removal of such Receivable or Receivables from the Borrowing Base calculation; provided, that the Collection Agent and the Borrower shall deliver an updated report with respect to the information in the Monthly Report only to the extent that such reduction, adjustment, cancellation or disqualification would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(b) Promptly after the occurrence of an ENV Event, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Monthly Report updated as of such day, including a calculation of the Borrowing Base after giving effect to an adjustment to the Contractual Allowances, in an amount approved by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents, to reflect such collection experiences.

SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in any law, regulation, treaty or official directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case occurring after the date hereof, by any central bank or other governmental agency or authority charged with the administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), or (ii) the compliance by an Affected Party with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency or authority (whether or not having the force of law) in each case promulgated after the date hereof, including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, or (iii) any Regulatory Change, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or otherwise arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change or compliance by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then within 10 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

(c) If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Section 2.11(a) or 2.11(b), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then within 10 days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts to be paid by it.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The protections of this Section shall be available to the Affected Party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Regulatory Change that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(f) If any Managing Agent, on behalf of the related Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent that a Eurodollar Disruption Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall in turn so notify the Borrower, whereupon all Revolving Principal Balance in respect of which Interest accrues at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the then current Fixed Period shall immediately be converted into Revolving Principal Balance in respect of which Interest accrues at the Base Rate for the remainder of such Fixed Period.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with Applicable Law, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy; provided, however, that, if a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct the Collection Agent (whether the Collection Agent is the Transferor, an Originator or an Affiliate thereof or otherwise) to commence or settle any legal action, to enforce collection of any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security and (ii) the Collection Agent shall not make the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender a party to any litigation without the express written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Termination Date shall not have occurred, Professional Services, while such Person is the Collection Agent, may, with respect to the Receivables and, with respect to any Eligible Receivable, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, (i) extend the maturity or adjust the Expected Net Value of any Defaulted Receivable as Professional Services may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof and (ii) adjust the Expected Net Value of any Receivable to reflect the reductions or cancellations described in the first sentence of Section 2.09, in each such case (except with respect to Receivables which are not Eligible Receivables) (x) in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and Collection Policy and (y) provided that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender under this Agreement. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Collection Agent nor the Borrower will extend, amend, cancel or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable without the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, or amend, modify, cancel or waive any term or condition of any Contract related to a Receivable, except to the extent consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy or otherwise with the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Transferor and any applicable Originator may amend the Credit and Collection Policy from time to time provided that (i) no change shall be made in the Credit and Collection Policy that would be adverse to any of the Lenders, including by impairing the collectibility of any Receivable or the ability of the Borrower or the Collection Agent to perform its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) in the event that any change is made to the Credit and Collection Policy, promptly following such change and, in any event within 30 days thereof, the Collection Agent shall provide the Administrative Agent and each of the Managing Agents with an updated Credit and Collection Policy and a summary of all material changes.

For purposes of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights described in the preceding sentence and elsewhere in this Article VI, the Borrower and the Collection Agent each hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event to take any and all steps in the Borrower’s or the Collection Agent’s, as applicable, name and on behalf of the Borrower or the Collection Agent, as the case may be, necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including endorsing the Borrower’s or the Collection Agent’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts, subject to Applicable Law.

SECTION 6.09. Obligations With Respect to Receivables.

In no event shall the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Collection Agent or any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates thereunder. Each of the Borrower and the Collection Agent agrees it will timely and fully comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related Contract.

The Borrower hereby authorizes such firm to discuss such affairs, finances and performance with representatives of the Administrative Agent and each of the Managing Agents.

such Lender to, or for the account of, the Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Transferor or any Originator against any amount owing by the Borrower, the Collection Agent, the Transferor or any Originator, as the case may be, to such Person or to the Administrative Agent or Managing Agent on behalf of such Person (even if contingent or unmatured); provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(d) The parties to each assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in its books and records, an Assignment and Acceptance or other transfer instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent, the related Managing Agent and the Borrower. Each such assignment shall be effective as of the date specified in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance or other instrument only after the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording as described in the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.06. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the obligations under this Agreement (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.06(d) shall be construed so that the obligations under this Agreement are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations, to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment); provided, however, that

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations,

(iii) the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the other Lenders, the Collection Agent and the Borrower shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and

(iv) such Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the obligations under the this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other

 

104

---

obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE TRANSFERS

SECTION 2.01. Agreement to Transfer.

(a) On the Initial Transfer Date and on each Business Day after the Initial Transfer until the Termination Date (each, a “Transfer Date”), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and without recourse to the Transferor (except to the extent specifically provided herein) the Transferor hereby offers to sell or contribute to the capital of the Company and, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Transferor does hereby sell or contribute and the Company does hereby purchase or accept as a capital contribution from the Transferor on such Transfer Date all Receivables owned by the Transferor as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day (other than any AccessOne Program Receivables originated prior to the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date) which have not been previously Transferred to the Company hereunder, together with all of the Related Security relating to such Receivables and all Collections with respect to and other proceeds of such Receivables; provided that notwithstanding anything to contrary, each Transfer of an Illinois Receivable hereunder shall be effectuated through a Contribution and not a Purchase.

(b) The Company shall convey to the Transferor the Transfer Value in respect of each Transfer, which shall be conveyed in the manner provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.03.

(c) Effective on each Transfer Date hereunder, the Company shall own the Transferred Property that was Transferred by the Transferor to the Company on such Transfer Date, and the Transferor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Property.

(d) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables to be made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts,” as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New York, and not a loan secured by such accounts. Each sale of Receivables by Transferor to the Company is made without recourse; provided, however, that (i) the Transferor shall be liable to the Company for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Company or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Purchased Property, or any other obligations of any Originator or the Transferor. In view of the expressed intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables to be made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables to the Company, the Transferor and the Company each agrees to note on its financial statements that the Receivables have been sold to the Company to the extent other treatment in the financial statements is not required by GAAP. If at any time contrary to the mutual intent of the Transferor and the Company a court characterizes the transactions hereunder as loans by the Company to the Transferor, then the Transferor shall, effective as of the Closing Date, be deemed to have granted (and the Transferor hereby does grant) to the Company a first priority security interest in all of its right and title to and interest in all Purchased Property and the proceeds thereof as security for such loans advanced to the Transferor hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.

 

24

---

(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Contribution of Receivables to be made hereunder shall constitute a “true contribution” and not a loan secured by the Receivables. Each contribution of Receivables by the Transferor to the Company is made without recourse; provided, however, that (i) the Transferor shall be liable to the Company for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such Contribution does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Company or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Contributed Property, or any other obligations of any Originator or the Transferor. In view of the expressed intention of the parties hereto that the Contributions of Receivables to be made hereunder shall constitute a capital contribution of such Receivables to the Company, the Transferor and the Company each agrees to note on its financial statements that the Receivables have been Contributed to the capital of the Company to the extent other treatment in the financial statements is not required by GAAP. If at any time contrary to the mutual intent of the Transferor and the Company a court characterizes the transactions hereunder as loans by the Company to the Transferor, then the Transferor shall, effective as of the Closing Date, be deemed to have granted (and the Transferor has granted) to the Company a first priority security interest in all of its right and title to and interest in all Contributed Property and the proceeds thereof as security for such loans advanced to the Transferor hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.

(f) In no event does the Transferor pledge, sell or offer to sell, nor does the Company obtain a security interest, purchase or offer to purchase from the Transferor, (A) any Self Pay Obligation or any collections thereon or proceeds thereof or (B) any account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement to which the Transferor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest or such sale shall constitute or result in (x) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of the Transferor therein, or (y) a violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in respect of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement or other such rights (1) in favor of a third party or (2) under any Applicable Law; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach, or such sale shall be consummated, immediately at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability, as the case may be, shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, shall attach or be consummated, as applicable, immediately to any portion of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in the immediately preceding clause (x) or clause (y) including any proceeds of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property rights, permit or any other contract or agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Consideration for the Transferred Receivables.

(a) With respect to each Purchase, the Company shall pay the Transferor an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchased Property.

 

25

---

(b) With respect to each Contribution, the Company shall increase the amount of the capital account of the Company held by the Transferor in an amount equal to the Contribution Value of such Contributed Property.

(c) Settlement of the amounts specified in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall be effected as provided in Section 2.03.

(d) The Transferor hereunder shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Transferred Property to be Transferred by the Company on any Transfer Date, that its representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 are true and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day (other than any representation or warranty that is made as of a specific date), that no Termination or Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.

SECTION 2.03. Settlement Procedures.

(a) On each Business Day during the term of this Agreement, the Company (or the Collection Agent on behalf of the Company) shall remit to the Transferor all funds that are available to the Company on such Business Day, whether constituting (i) amounts on deposit in a Concentration Account that may be withdrawn by the Collection Agent as provided in Section 2.07(c) of the Loan Agreement, (ii) Advances (as defined in the Loan Agreement) deposited to the Company’s account as provided in Section 2.01(g) of the Loan Agreement or (iii) other funds available to the Company, in each case other than (x) funds required to be maintained by the Company to comply with Applicable Law and the requirements of the Loan Agreement and (y) to the extent the Company determines to retain any or all of such available funds for its own purposes. The funds transferred to the Transferor on a Business Day pursuant to the preceding sentence constitute the “Distributed Funds” for such Business Day, and all Distributed Funds transferred to the Transferor during a Collection Period constitute the “Monthly Distributed Funds” for such Collection Period.

(b) The Monthly Report with respect to each Collection Period shall specify, among other things, the Aggregate Transfer Value, the aggregate Monthly Distributed Funds, the Purchase Percentage, the Contribution Percentage and the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment, in each case in respect of such Collection Period.

(c) On each Settlement Date, based on calculations set forth in the Monthly Report:

(i) (A) an amount of the Monthly Distributed Funds equal to the Purchase Percentage of the Aggregate Transfer Value shall constitute and shall be deemed for all purposes as payment of the Purchase Price to the Transferor, and (B) the Purchased Property for such Collection Period shall be the Purchase Percentage of the Receivables, Related Security and Collections Transferred to the Company during such Collection Period;

(ii) (A) an amount equal to the Contribution Percentage of the Aggregate Transfer Value shall constitute and shall be deemed for all purposes as a contribution by the Transferor to its capital account in the Company, and (B) the

 

26

---

Contributed Property for such Collection Period shall be the Contribution Percentage of the Receivables, Related Security and Collections Transferred to the Company during such Collection Period; and

(iii) if the Monthly Distributed Funds exceeds the Aggregate Transfer Value for the related Collection Period, then (A) the amount of such excess, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be treated as a distribution by the Company to the Transferor of that amount of capital, and (B) the Transferor’s capital account in the Company shall be reduced by the amount of such excess and any amount of such excess that cannot be treated as a distribution under Applicable Law may be treated as part of the Monthly Distributed Funds for the following Collection Period.

(d) If the Company notifies the Collection Agent of any exceptions to its calculations in the Monthly Report, the Transferor and the Company shall promptly endeavor to resolve and reconcile the matters set forth in such notice.

(e) The Transferor shall make a payment to the Company, within two Business Days of notice thereof and in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment with respect to any Noncomplying Receivables identified by the Collection Agent or the Company (or its assigns) from time to time. Notwithstanding such payment obligation, on any Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of a Termination or Event of Termination, the Company in its sole discretion may elect to setoff or subtract all or any portion of such Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment for the related Collection Period from the Aggregate Transfer Value which would otherwise be paid to the Transferor or credited to the capital account of the Transferor on such day, which setoff will reduce such payment or credit obligation on a dollar for dollar basis.

SECTION 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. The payment or deposit of all amounts to be paid by the Transferor or the Collection Agent to the Company hereunder shall be initiated in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time specify in writing. In the event that any payment becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Company, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder (whether owing by the Transferor or by a Collection Agent) at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate 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 2.05. Transfer of Records to the Company.

(a) Each Transfer of Transferred Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Company of all the Originators’ and Transferor’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to such Receivables and rights to the use of the Originators’ and the Transferor’s computer software to access and create the Records, and the Transferor hereby agrees that such transfer shall be effected automatically with each such Transfer, without any action on the part of the parties hereto or any further documentation.

 

27

---

(b) The Transferor shall take such action requested by the Company, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Company and its assignees have (i) an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables Transferred hereunder and (ii) an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

(k) No event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing, or would result from any Transfer hereunder or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes an Event of Termination.

(l) This Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Transferor transfers Receivables.

(m) The Transfer Value constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer to the Company of the Transferred Property from the Transferor, no such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Transferor to the Company, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Law.

The Transferor will not become an insolvent person or be put in insolvent circumstances within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law by entering into, or immediately after completion of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement. The transfers of Transferred Property by the Transferor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and all other transactions between the Transferor and the Company, have been and will be made in good faith and not for the purpose of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or oppressing the rights and claims of creditors or others against the Transferor.

(o) The Transferor accounts for and otherwise treats (i) each Purchase of Purchased Property hereunder in its books, records and financial statements as a legal sale of such Purchased Property, and (ii) each Contribution of Contributed Property hereunder in its books, records and financial statements as a legal contribution of such Contributed Property, in each case to the extent other treatment is not required by GAAP.

(p) The Transferor has not (i) guaranteed or otherwise become liable for any obligation of the Company, allowed any of its other Affiliates to guarantee any obligations of the Company, and neither the Transferor nor any of its other Affiliates has held itself out as responsible for debts of the Company or actions with respect to the business and affairs of the Company (other than as set forth in the Performance Undertaking), or (ii) permitted the commingling or pooling of its funds or other assets with those of the Company and has not otherwise permitted any other of its Affiliates to commingle or pool any of its funds or other assets with those of the Company in a manner that would not allow such funds or other assets to be readily identifiable from those of any other Person. The Transferor and the Company allocate between themselves shared corporate operating services and expenses which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee (including the services of shared employees, consultants and agents and reasonable legal and auditing expenses) on the basis of the reasonably projected use or the projected value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or

 

32

the value of services rendered. The Transferor acknowledges that the Company, the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Agreement in reliance upon the Company’s identity as a separate legal entity from each of the Parent, the Transferor and each of their other respective Affiliates.

(q) The Transferor is not an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

(r) The Transferor is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in Regulation T, U or X promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). No part of the proceeds of any Transferred Property has been used for so purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

(s) The Transferor and the Collection Agent each has the right (whether by license, sublicense or assignment) to use all of the computer software used by the Collection Agent and/or the Transferor to account for the Transferred Property to the extent necessary to administer the Transferred Property, and, in the case of the Transferor and the Collection Agent, to assign (by way of Transfer) or sublicense such rights to use all of such software to the Company.

(t) The Transferor has filed or caused to be filed all federal and other material tax returns which are required to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other than any taxes or assessments, (i) the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Transferor has set aside or has caused to be set aside adequate reserves on its books (consolidated or otherwise) in accordance with GAAP or (ii) which the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Transferor, the Transferor and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Transferor or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for funding purposes) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan in such amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a funding obligation that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for funding purposes) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans in such amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) The Transferor has not intentionally (i) misstated any calculation of Eligible Receivables or Net Receivables Balance hereunder (other than in an immaterial amount and based on good faith estimates utilized in the calculation thereof), or (ii) misrepresented any Receivable as qualifying as an Eligible Receivable or intentionally included such misrepresented Receivable in the Net Receivables Balance at the time so included.

(w) All required Notices have been prepared and delivered to each of its Obligors (or, in the case of a Governmental Entity, its fiscal intermediary), and all invoices issued after the Closing Date bear only the appropriate remittance instructions for payment direction to a Lock-Box or a Collection Accounts, as the case may be. No direction is in effect directing Obligors to remit payments on Receivables other than to a Lock-Box or a Collection Account.

(x) Each of the Collection Accounts has been established in the name of an Originator by a Collection Account Bank, and a Concentration Account has been established in the name of the Company by each Concentration Account Bank. Such Originator has not established any lock-box, lock-box account or other deposit account for the receipt of Collections other than the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts. Each Lock-Box is linked to a Collection Account. Each Collection Account has been set up so that all available funds automatically sweep to the applicable Concentration Account at the end of each Business Day. The Transferor has taken, or has caused to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to assure that all Collections are received in the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts. The Transferor will not (i) close any Lock-Box, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account or open any new lock-box or account to function as a Lock-Box, a Collection Account or a Concentration Account, (ii) make any change to the instructions to the Obligors that all payments with respect to the Receivables be made to a Lock-Box or Collection Account or (iii) make any change to the instructions to a Collection Account Bank as set forth in the applicable Deposit Account Notification Agreement (Government Healthcare Receivables) requiring the automatic sweep of all available funds in each Collection Account to the applicable Concentration Account at the end of each Business Day, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent; provided, if any of the provisions under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above have been violated with respect to any Lock-Box or Collection Account relating to an individual Originator without the prior knowledge or consent of the Transferor or the Collection Agent, the Transferor (itself or through the Collection Agent) shall have the opportunity to cure the violation of this clause (x) within 15 days of obtaining knowledge of such breach by the Originator and, if such violation is cured within such 15 day period, the cure of such violation shall be effective to cure any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by the Transferor under any Facility Document directly related to or directly arising from such violation without any further action.

(y) No Lien on the Transferor’s inventory attaches to the proceeds of the sale or contribution of such inventory to the extent that such sale or contribution would give rise to a Receivable.

(z) No Lien on the Transferor’s accounts receivable attaches to Transferred Receivables, except for Liens granted under the Documents.

Collection Agent of the Company to service, administer and collect the Receivables and otherwise to enforce its rights and interests in, to and under the Receivables, the Related Security and the Contracts. The Collection Agent’s authorization under this Agreement shall terminate on the Collection Date. Until the Company, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as its assignee, gives notice to the Transferor of a designation of a new Collection Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, Professional Services is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Transferor, the Company and the Collection Agent may from time to time agree in any collection agency or services agreement among them on the allocation of servicing duties to be performed by the Collection Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (with the approval of the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, and the Managing Agents), after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, designate as Collection Agent any Person to succeed Professional Services or any successor Collection Agent, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Sale Agreement and the Loan Agreement and in accordance with applicable Healthcare Laws. The Transferor hereby grants to the Collection Agent and any successor Collection Agent, and the Collection Agent hereby grants to any successor Collection Agent, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the Transferor’s or the Collection Agent’s name, as applicable, and on behalf of the Company, as may be necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collection Agent or the successor Collection Agent, as the case may be, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including endorsing the Transferor’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Collection Agent may subcontract the performance of its duties and obligations to a third Person with the prior consent of the Company, including with respect to Collection Agency Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall automatically terminate upon designation of a successor Collection Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Collection Agent, if not the Transferor or an Affiliate thereof, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any Receivable that is not a Transferred Receivable other than to deliver to the Transferor or at its direction, the Collections and documents with respect to any such Receivable that is not a Transferred Property as described in Sections 6.03 and 6.07.

SECTION 6.02. Collection of Receivables by the Collection Agent; Extensions and Amendments of Receivables.

Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Collection Agent nor the Transferor will extend, amend, cancel or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable without the prior written approval of the Company, or amend, modify, cancel or waive any term or condition of any Contract related to a Receivable, except to the extent consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy or otherwise with the prior written approval of the Company.

SECTION 6.03. Distribution and Application of Collections. The Collection Agent shall set aside and segregate funds to the extent required in this Agreement and the Loan Agreement and shall set aside and segregate all Collections of Receivables from the other funds belonging to the Collection Agent. The Collection Agent shall as soon as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) following receipt turn over to the Transferor or other Person entitled thereto the collections of any account receivable which is not a Transferred Property less, in the event neither Professional Services nor an Affiliate thereof is the Collection Agent, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collection Agent of servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables to the extent not covered by the Servicing Fee received by it.

SECTION 6.07. Collections and Lock-Boxes.

(a) The Transferor and the Collection Agent will instruct all Obligors to cause all Collections to be either (i) remitted to a Lock-Box to be retrieved therefrom by the applicable Collection Account Bank for prompt deposit to the applicable Collection Account or (ii) remitted directly to a Collection Account.

(e) In no event does any Originator pledge, sell or offer to sell, nor does the Buyer obtain a security interest, purchase or offer to purchase from any Originator, (A) any Self Pay Obligation or any collections thereon or proceeds thereof or (B) any account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement to which such Originator is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest or such sale shall constitute or result in (x) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Originator therein, or (y) a

violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in respect of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement or other such rights (1) in favor of a third party or (2) under any Applicable Law; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach, or such sale shall be consummated, immediately at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability, as the case may be, shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, shall attach or be consummated, as applicable, immediately to any portion of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property right, permit or any other contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in the immediately preceding clause (x) or clause (y) including any proceeds of such account, general intangible, instrument, license, property rights, permit or any other contract or agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Payment for the Purchases.

(a) With respect to each Purchase, the Buyer shall pay to the Authorized Representative for the benefit of the applicable Originator(s) an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchased Property by means of any one or combination of the following in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03: (i) a transfer of funds to the Authorized Representative (for distribution or crediting by the Authorized Representative to such Originators), and (ii) an Originator Loan in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(ii).

(b) Settlement of the amounts specified in the foregoing clause (a) shall be effected as provided in Section 2.03.

(c) Each of the Originators hereunder shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Purchased Property to be Purchased by the Buyer on any Purchase Date, that its representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 are true and correct on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day (other than any representation or warranty that is made as of a specific date), and that no Termination or Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.

SECTION 2.03. Settlement Procedures.

(a) On each Business Day during the term of this Agreement, the Buyer (or the Collection Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall remit to the Authorized Representative for the benefit of the Originators all funds that are received by the Buyer on such Business Day pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the Buyer may (but is not required to) remit additional funds to the Authorized Representative for the benefit of the Originators. The funds transferred to the Authorized Representative for the benefit of the Originators on a Business Day pursuant to the preceding sentence constitute the “Distributed Funds” for such Business Day, and all Distributed Funds transferred to the Authorized Representative for the benefit of the Originators during a Collection Period constitute the “Monthly Distributed Funds” for such Collection Period.

(b) The Monthly Report with respect to each Collection Period shall specify, among other things, the Aggregate Purchase Price, the aggregate Monthly Distributed Funds and the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment due to the Buyer from the Originators, in each case in respect of such Collection Period.

 

25

---

(c) On each Settlement Date, based on calculations set forth in the Monthly Report:

(i) Monthly Distributable Funds for such Collection Period will be credited to each Originator by the Authorized Representative in proportion to the Allocable Share of each Originator on such Settlement Date, to be applied in the following order:

(1) first, so long as (i) no Event of Termination exists, (ii) no Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement and (iii) no Event of Termination exists under the Contribution Agreement and otherwise to the extent permitted under the Originator Notes, to accrued and unpaid interest owed to such Originator in respect of the Originator’s interest in the applicable Originator Note;

(2) next, so long as (i) no Event of Termination exists, (ii) no Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement and (iii) no Event of Termination exists under the Contribution Agreement and otherwise to the extent permitted under the Originator Notes, to the extent of remaining amounts, to unpaid principal owed to such Originator in respect of such Originator’s interest in the applicable Originator Note;

(3) then, to the extent of remaining amounts, to pay the unpaid Purchase Price of Receivables transferred by such Originator to the Buyer; and

(4) any remaining Monthly Distributed Funds shall be returned to the Buyer, unless the Buyer elects to treat such amounts as Monthly Distributed Funds for the following Collection Period; and

(ii) to the extent that the funds available in the preceding clause (c)(i)(3) are insufficient to pay the full unpaid Purchase Price of Receivables transferred by an Originator to the Buyer during the applicable Collection Period, the remaining amount owing to such Originator shall be treated as a loan from such Originator (an “Originator Loan”) and shall be added to the principal balance of the applicable Originator Note on such Originator’s account.

(d) If the Authorized Representative or the Buyer notifies the Collection Agent of any exceptions to its calculations in the Monthly Report, the Authorized Representative and the Buyer shall promptly endeavor to resolve and reconcile the matters set forth in such notice.

(e) The Authorized Representative on behalf of the relevant Originators shall make a payment to the Buyer, within two Business Days of notice thereof and in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment with respect to any Noncomplying Receivables identified by the Collection Agent or the Buyer (or its assigns) from time to time. Notwithstanding such payment obligation, on any Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of a Termination or Event of Termination, the Buyer in its sole discretion may elect to setoff or subtract all or a portion of such Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment for the related Collection Period from the Aggregate Purchase Price which would otherwise be paid to the Originators on such day, which setoff will reduce such payment obligation on a dollar for dollar basis.

The payment or deposit of all amounts to be paid by the Originators or the Collection Agent to the Buyer hereunder shall be initiated in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to such account as the Buyer may from time to time specify in writing. In the event that any payment becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Originators shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Buyer, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder (whether owing by an Originator individually, the Originators collectively or by a Collection Agent) at 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate 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 2.05. Transfer of Records to the Buyer.

(a) Each Purchase of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Buyer of all the applicable Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to such Receivables and rights to the use of such Originator’s computer software to access and create the Records, and each of the Originators hereby agrees that such transfer shall be effected automatically with each such Purchase, without any action on the part of the parties hereto or any further documentation.

(b) Each of the Originators shall take such action requested by the Buyer, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer and its assignees have (i) an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables Purchased hereunder and (ii) an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

specified in Section 5.01(u) to remove and terminate the Kay County Lien. The Purchases of the Purchased Property by the Buyer constitute valid and true sales and transfers for consideration (and not merely a pledge of such Purchased Property for security purposes), enforceable against creditors of the Buyers and no Purchased Property shall constitute property of such Originator.

(i) No Monthly Report (if prepared by the Collection Agent, such Originator or any of their respective Affiliates, or to the extent that information contained therein is supplied by the Collection Agent, such Originator or any such Affiliates), information, exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished or to be furnished by the Authorized Representative or an Originator to the Buyer (or its assigns) in connection with this Agreement is or will be inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it is or shall be dated or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Buyer, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished or dated, and no such document contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omits or shall omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, such Originator represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions that such Originator believed to be reasonable at the time made.

(j) Such Originator’s correct legal name, jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, organizational identification number, principal place of business and chief executive office and the office where such Originator keeps all of its Records are set forth on Schedule III hereto. As of the Third Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, such Originator does not have any currently registered trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or “doing business as” names or other names under which it is doing business, except as set forth on Schedule III.

(k) No event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing, or would result from any Purchase hereunder or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes an Event of Termination.

(l) This Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which such Originator sells Receivables (other than, prior to May 31, 2012, AccessOne Receivables).

(m) The Purchase Price constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer to the Buyer of the Purchased Property from such Originator, no such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such Originator to the Buyer, and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Law.

(n) Such Originator is not an insolvent person, in insolvent circumstances or on the eve of insolvency, as applicable (within the meaning of such term in the Bankruptcy Law) and at the time of (and immediately after) each Purchase hereunder, such Originator shall not have been an insolvent person, in insolvent circumstances or on the eve of insolvency, as applicable, within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law. Such Originator will not become an insolvent person or be put in insolvent circumstances within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Law by entering into, or immediately after completion of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement. The transfers of Purchased Property by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this

 

31

---

Agreement, and all other transactions between such Originator and the Buyer, have been and will be made in good faith and not for the purpose of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or oppressing the rights and claims of creditors or others against such Originator.

(o) Such Originator accounts for and otherwise treats each Purchase of Purchased Property hereunder in its books, records and financial statements as a legal sale of such Purchased Property, in each case to the extent other treatment is not required by GAAP.

(p) Such Originator has not (i) guaranteed or otherwise become liable for any obligation of the Company, allowed any of its other Affiliates to guarantee any obligations of the Company, and neither such Originator nor any of its other Affiliates has held itself out as responsible for debts of the Company or actions with respect to the business and affairs of the Company, or (ii) permitted the commingling or pooling of its funds or other assets with those of the Company and has not otherwise permitted any other of its Affiliates to commingle or pool any of its funds or other assets with those of the Company in a manner that would not allow such funds or other assets to be readily identifiable from those of any other Person. The Originators and the Company allocate between themselves shared corporate operating services and expenses which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee (including the services of shared employees, consultants and agents and reasonable legal and auditing expenses) on the basis of the reasonably projected use or the projected value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered. Such Originator acknowledges that the Company, the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and the Loan Agreement in reliance upon the Company’s identity as a separate legal entity from each of the Parent, CHS, each Originator and each of their other respective Affiliates.

(q) Such Originator is not an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

(r) Such Originator is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in Regulation T, U or X promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). No part of the proceeds of any Purchased Property has been used for so purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

(s) Such Originator and the Collection Agent each has the right (whether by license, sublicense or assignment) to use all of the computer software used by the Collection Agent and/or such Originator to account for the Purchased Property to the extent necessary to administer the Purchased Property, and, in the case of such Originator and the Collection Agent, to assign (by way of sale) or sublicense such rights to use all of such software to the Buyer.

(t) Such Originator has filed or caused to be filed all federal and other material tax returns which are required to be filed by it, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other

than any taxes or assessments, (i) the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which such Originator has set aside or has caused to be set aside adequate reserves on its books (consolidated or otherwise) in accordance with GAAP or (ii) which the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to an Originator, such Originator and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of such Originator or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for funding purposes) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan in such amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a funding obligation that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for funding purposes) did not, as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans in such amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) No Originator has intentionally (i) misstated any calculation of Eligible Receivables or Net Receivables Balance hereunder (other than in an immaterial amount and based on good faith estimates utilized in the calculation thereof), or (ii) misrepresented any Receivable as qualifying as an Eligible Receivable or intentionally included such misrepresented Receivable in the Net Receivables Balance at the time so included.

(w) All required Notices have been prepared and delivered to each of its Obligors (or, in the case of a Governmental Entity, its fiscal intermediary), and all invoices issued after the Closing Date bear only the appropriate remittance instructions for payment direction to a Lock-Box or a Collection Account, as the case may be. No direction is in effect directing Obligors to remit payments on Receivables other than to a Lock-Box or a Collection Account.

(x) Each of the Collection Accounts has been established in the name of an Originator by a Collection Account Bank, and a Concentration Account has been established in the name of the Company by each Concentration Account Bank. Such Originator has not established any lock-box, lock-box account or other deposit account for the receipt of Collections other than the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts. Each Lock-Box is linked to a Collection Account. Each Collection Account has been set up so that all available funds automatically sweep to the applicable Concentration Account at the end of each Business Day. Such Originator has taken, or has caused to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to assure that all Collections are received in the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts. Such Originator will not (i) close, or cause to be closed, any Lock-Box, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account or open, or cause to be opened, any new lock-box or account to function as a Lock-Box, a Collection Account or a Concentration Account, (ii) make any change to the instructions to the Obligors that all payments with respect to the Receivables be made to a Lock-Box or Collection

Account or (iii) make any change to the instructions to a Collection Account Bank as set forth in the applicable Deposit Account Notification Agreement (Government Healthcare Receivables) requiring the automatic sweep of all available funds in each Collection Account to the applicable Concentration Account at the end of each Business Day, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent; provided, if any Originator violates any of the provisions under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above with respect to any Lock-Box or Collection Account relating to such Originator without the prior knowledge or consent of the Buyer or the Collection Agent, the Originator (itself or through the Collection Agent) shall have the opportunity to cure the violation of this clause (x) within 15 days of obtaining knowledge of such breach and, if such violation is cured within such 15 day period, the cure of such violation shall be effective to cure any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by any Originator under any Facility Document directly related to or directly arising from such violation without any further action.

(y) No Lien on such Originator’s inventory attaches to the proceeds of the sale of such inventory to the extent that such sale would give rise to a Receivable.

(z) Each Originator has all power and authority, and has all material permits, licenses, accreditations, certifications, authorizations, approvals, consents and agreements of all Obligors, Governmental Entities, accreditation agencies and other Persons (including (i) accreditation by the appropriate Governmental Entities and industry accreditation agencies, (ii) accreditation and certifications as a provider of healthcare services eligible to receive payment and compensation and to participate under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE/CHAMPUS, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and other equivalent programs in which such Originator participates, and (iii) valid provider identification numbers and licenses to generate the Receivables) necessary or required for it, except in any Immaterial Respect, (A) to own the assets (including Receivables) that it now owns, (B) to carry on its business as now conducted, (C) to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Originator Documents to which it is a party, and (D) if applicable, to receive payments from the Obligors in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and the other Originator Documents, except in an Immaterial Respect.

(aa) Each Originator, except in any Immaterial Respect has (i) maintained all relevant records required to be maintained by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the State Boards of Pharmacy, and the federal and state Medicare and Medicaid programs as required by Healthcare Laws, and that, to the best knowledge of each Originator, there are no presently existing circumstances which likely would result in material violations of any Healthcare Laws and (ii) complied in all material respects with all other Applicable Law to which it may be subject and no Receivable or other Purchased Property contravenes in any material respect any Applicable Law, except in any Immaterial Respect.

(bb) Commencing September 30, 2012, Patient Consent Forms are being obtained from each patient and customer receiving services or products.

(cc) Without limiting or being limited by any other provision of any Originator Document, each Originator has timely filed or caused to be filed all material cost and other

 

34

---

reports of every kind required by law, agreement or otherwise. There are no material claims, actions or appeals pending before any commission, board or agency or other Governmental Entity, including any intermediary or carrier, the Provider Reimbursement Review Board, or the administrator of CMS, with respect to any material state or federal Medicare or Medicaid cost reports or material claims filed by any Originator, or any disallowance by any commission, board or agency or other Governmental Entity in connection with any audit of such cost reports, except in any Immaterial Respect or which would affect the ability of the Buyer to fulfill its material obligations under any Facility Document. No validation review or program integrity review related to any Originator, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the Purchased Property have been conducted by any commission, board, or agency or other Governmental Entity in connection with the Medicare or Medicaid programs, and, to the knowledge of the Originators, no such reviews are scheduled, pending, or threatened against or affecting any of the Originators, any of the Purchased Property or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except in any Immaterial Respect or which would affect the ability of the Buyer to fulfill its material obligations under any Facility Document.

(dd) No Originator has been notified by any Governmental Entity, accreditation agency or any other Person, during the immediately preceding 24-month period, that such Person has rescinded or not renewed, or is reasonably likely to rescind or not renew, any material permit, license, accreditation, certification, authorization, approval, consent or agreement granted to it or to which it is a party and no other condition exists or event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non renewal of any material permit, license, authorization, approval, entitlement or accreditation, and to the best of each Originator’s knowledge, there is no claim that any thereof is not in full force and effect.

(ee) No portion of the Originator’s assets include “plan assets” of any “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA.

as the Collection Agent of the Buyer to service, administer and collect the Receivables and otherwise to enforce its rights and interests in, to and under the Receivables, the Related Security and the Contracts. The Collection Agent’s authorization under this Agreement shall terminate on the Collection Date. Until the Buyer, with the consent of the Administrative Agent as its assignee, gives notice to the Authorized Representative of a designation of a new Collection Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, Professional Services is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Authorized Representative, the Buyer and the Collection Agent may from time to time agree in any collection agency or services agreement among them on the allocation of servicing duties to be performed by the Collection Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may (with the approval of the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, and the Managing Agents), after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, designate as Collection Agent any Person to succeed Professional Services or any successor Collection Agent, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Contribution Agreement and the Loan Agreement and in accordance with applicable Healthcare Laws. Each of the Originators hereby grants to the Collection Agent and any successor Collection Agent, and the Collection Agent hereby grants to any successor Collection Agent, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in any Originator’s or the Collection Agent’s name, as applicable, and on behalf of the Buyer, as may be necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collection Agent or the successor Collection Agent, as the case may be, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including endorsing such Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Collection Agent may subcontract the performance of its duties and obligations to a third Person with the prior consent of Buyer, including with respect to Collection Agency Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall automatically terminate upon designation of a successor Collection Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Collection Agent, if not an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any Receivable that is not a Purchased Receivable other than to deliver to the Authorized Representative or at its direction, the Collections and documents with respect to any such Receivable that is not a Purchased Property as described in Sections 6.03 and 6.07.

Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Collection Agent nor any Originator will extend, amend, cancel or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable without the prior written approval of the Buyer, or amend, modify, cancel or waive any term or condition of any Contract related to a Receivable, except to the extent consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy or otherwise with the prior written approval of the Buyer.

(a) Each Originator and the Collection Agent will instruct all Obligors to cause all Collections to be either (i) remitted to a Lock-Box to be retrieved therefrom by the applicable Collection Account Bank for prompt deposit to the applicable Collection Account or (ii) remitted directly to a Collection Account. If the Collection Agent or any Originator receives any Collections, such Originator or the Collection Agent shall immediately remit such Collections to the applicable Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt thereof and the Collection Agent or the applicable Originator will take all such actions as are reasonably necessary in the Collection Agent or Originator’s discretion or as reasonably requested by the Buyer to ensure that future payments from any Obligor be made to a Collection Account or Lock-Box. If the applicable Originator or the Collection Agent does not promptly (and in any event within two Business Days from the Buyer’s request) take such actions as the Buyer may reasonably request, then the Buyer, its assigns or designees, may, to the maximum extent permitted by law take such actions as the Buyer, its assigns or designees may, on its direction, deem appropriate.

(b) The Collection Agent shall allocate and remit Collections in accordance with the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that the Buyer may, at any time following a Trigger Event and shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, revoke the Collection Agent’s authority with respect to each Concentration Account, direct each Concentration Account Bank to cease taking instructions from the Collection Agent or the Buyer and to thereafter take direction solely from the Administrative Agent, in each case by delivery of a notice substantially in the form attached to the Control Agreement for such purpose. Neither any Originator nor the Collection Agent will (i) add or terminate any bank as a Collection Account Bank or a Concentration Account Bank, (ii) close any Lock-Box, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account or open any new lock-box or account to function as a Lock-Box, Collection Account or Concentration Account, (iii) make any change to the instructions to the Obligors that all payments with respect to the Receivables be made to a Lock-Box or Collection Account or (iv) make any change to the instructions to the Collection Account Bank set forth in the Deposit Account Notification Agreement (Government Healthcare Receivables) requiring all available funds in each Collection Account to automatically sweep to the applicable Concentration Account at the end of each Business Day, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent; provided, if any Originator violates any of the provisions under clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Lock-Box or Collection Account relating to such Originator without the prior knowledge or consent of the Buyer or the Collection Agent, the Originator (itself or through the

Collection Agent) shall have the opportunity to cure the violation of this clause (b) within 15 days of obtaining knowledge of such breach and, if such violation is cured within such 15 day period, the cure of such violation shall be effective to cure any breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by any Originator or the Collection Agent under any Facility Document directly related to or directly arising from such violation without any further action. Each of the Originators and the Collection Agent each hereby agrees to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to protect and perfect the interest of the Buyer in the event any such change is permitted.

SECTION 6.08. UCC Matters; Protection and Perfection of Purchased Property. Each Originator will keep its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, principal place of business and chief executive office, and the offices where it keeps its Records, in the jurisdictions and at the addresses set forth on Schedule III, or, in any such case, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Buyer, at such other jurisdictions or locations within the United States where all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to protect and perfect the interest of the Buyer in the Purchased Property have been taken and completed. Each of the Originators and the Collection Agent agrees that from time to time, at the Originators’ expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchased Property acquired by the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Originators and the Collection Agent agrees that it will, upon the request of the Buyer, 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. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Purchased Property now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of such Originator where permitted by law. If an Originator or the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Section 6.08, the Buyer, or its assignee, may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of the Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originators upon the Buyer’s demand therefor. For purposes of enabling the Buyer to exercise its rights described in the preceding sentence and elsewhere in this Article VI, each of the Originators and the Collection Agent hereby authorizes the Buyer to take any and all steps following an Event of Termination in such Originator’s or the Collection Agent’s, as applicable, name and on behalf of the Originator necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Buyer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including endorsing such Originator’s or the Collection Agent’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.

SECTION 6.09. Obligations With Respect to Receivables. Each of the Originators and the Collection Agent will (a) at the Originators’ expense, regardless of any exercise by the Buyer of its rights hereunder, timely and fully perform and comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts related to the Purchased Property to the same extent as if Purchased Property therein had not been sold hereunder and (b) pay when due any taxes, including sales, excise or personal property taxes, payable in connection with the Purchased Property. In no event shall the Buyer

 

47

---

have any obligation or liability with respect to any Purchased Property or related Contracts, nor shall it be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Collection Agent or any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates thereunder. Each of the Originators and the Collection Agent agrees it will timely and fully comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related Contract.

SECTION 6.10. Applications of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, be applied as a Collection of any Receivables constituting Purchased Property of such Obligor, in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder, before being applied to any other indebtedness, account, general intangible or obligation of such Obligor.

SECTION 6.11. Annual Servicing Report of Independent Audit Firm. On an annual basis on or before the date which is 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, the Collection Agent shall engage and cause FTI Consulting, Inc. or another firm acceptable to the Buyer and its assigns, to provide the Collection Agent and the Buyer with a report setting forth the results of such firm’s review of the Receivables in form and in scope satisfactory to the Buyer and the Collection Agent; provided that in no event shall such report include “Protected Health Information”, as such term is defined in regulations implementing HIPAA; provided further that such independent audit firm shall be required to enter into a Business Associate Agreement with the Collection Agent. Each of the Originators hereby authorizes such firm to discuss such affairs, finances and performance with representatives of the Buyer and its designees.
