ARTICLE II

PURCHASE, CONVEYANCE AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.1 Sales.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and without recourse to any Originator (except to the extent specifically provided herein), each Originator hereby sells, assigns, transfers and conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and wherever located, in, to and under the Receivables outstanding on such Originator’s Effective Date and thereafter owned by such Originator through the Purchase Termination Date, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing. Any sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance hereunder does not constitute an assumption by the Buyer of any obligations of any Originator or any other Person to Obligors or to any other Person in connection with the Receivables or under any Related Security or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Receivables.

(b) In connection with the sales provided for herein, each Originator agrees to record and file on or prior to its respective Effective Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Receivables and the other property described in Section 2.1(a) sold by such Originator hereunder meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and protect the interests of the Buyer created hereby under the Relevant UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, such Originator, and to deliver either the originals of such financing statements or file-stamped copies of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Buyer on or prior to such Originator’s Effective Date.

(c) Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute (if required) and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as the Buyer may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Buyer in the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator will, in order to accurately reflect the purchase and sale transactions contemplated by this Agreement, file or authorize the filing of such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) as may be requested by the Buyer and will mark its master data processing records (or related subledger) and other documents with a legend describing the purchase by the Buyer of its Receivables and the lien of

the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and stating “These accounts receivable have been sold to Caremark Receivables LLC. Subsequent to such sale, a security interest in the Receivables, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing, has been granted to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of March 24, 2004”. Each Originator shall, upon request of the Buyer, obtain such search reports as the Buyer shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Buyer is authorized and shall be permitted to file continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without any Originator’s signature. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(d) It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the Relevant UCC, be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Receivables by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles, is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Receivables and a conveyance of such Receivables that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the Relevant UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s rights, titles and interests in, to and under the Receivables, together with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all Proceeds of the foregoing, to secure the rights of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement or as such rights may be determined in accordance with applicable law and the performance and payment of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of such Originator to the Buyer arising hereunder, including without limitation any liabilities arising from any breach by such Originator of any of its representations and warranties in the first sentence of Section 4.1(c) hereof (and any breach by such Originator of any of its representations and warranties in the first sentence of Section 4.1(c) hereof with respect to the conveyance of any particular Receivable shall be deemed to occur as of the time of such conveyance). Any such security interest in any Receivable granted to the Buyer under this Section 2.1(d) shall survive the sale and assignment of such Receivable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement and shall not be merged with the Buyer’s other rights, titles or interests in, to or under such property.

(e) To the extent that any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it is non-transferable, such Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer,

the Administrative Agent and the Servicers an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by such Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Administrative Agent), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. If any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it prohibits such Originator from granting the license to use described herein, or if, after reasonable efforts, consent of any licensor of such software for the grant of the license described herein is not obtained, there shall be no transfer of such software hereunder or any grant by such Originator of the license to use described herein. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and (ii) the date each of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. Each Originator (A) shall take such action reasonably requested by Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (B) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that each of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicers has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 2.2 Servicing of Receivables.

In connection with the consummation of the sales provided for in this Agreement, each Originator hereby assigns and transfers to Buyer and Buyer’s assignees all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to each Lock-Box Account, and such Originator relinquishes all power to transfer, possess and control the Lock-Box Accounts and the contents thereof (except any powers with respect to the Lock-Box Accounts and contents thereof that are granted to such Originator in its capacity as Collection Agent). Each Originator agrees to perform all servicing of Receivables originated by it for the Buyer and its transfers and assigns pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Originator shall hold in trust for the Buyer all Records which evidence or relate to its Receivables or Related Security, Collections or Proceeds with respect thereto.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING

Section 3.1 Purchase Price.

The purchase price for the Receivables and related property conveyed to the Buyer by each Originator under this Agreement on any Business Day shall be a dollar amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables sold on such Business Day and (b) one minus the then applicable Discount Percentage (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for Receivables sold by an Originator on any Business Day shall be paid either (i) in cash to the extent funds are available therefor in excess of necessary working capital or (ii) if Buyer does not have sufficient cash to pay the Purchase Price, by means of (A) an advance under the applicable Subordinated Note (each, an “Advance”) and/or (B) with the consent of the applicable Originator, treating a portion of the Purchase Price as capital contributed by such Originator to Buyer or (iii) with the consent of the applicable Originator, any combination of the foregoing applicable to such Originator. In the event Buyer does not have sufficient cash to pay the Purchase Price due with respect to any sale of Receivables hereunder (and solely in the case of Caremark, Caremark is not willing to consent to the treatment of such insufficiency as a capital contribution), such insufficiency shall be evidenced by the making of an Advance in an original principal amount equal to such cash shortfall owed to such Originator; provided, however, that no Originator shall make an Advance to Buyer to the extent that the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances from all Originators would be an amount such that the net worth of the Buyer would be less than $60,850,000 (the “Advance Limit”). No sales of Receivables hereunder shall be made on or after the Purchase Termination Date. On the date of the initial purchase from each Originator of Receivables hereunder, the net worth of the Buyer shall be at least $60,850,000.

(b) All Advances made by each Originator to Buyer shall be evidenced by a single subordinated note, duly executed by Buyer in favor of such Originator, in substantially the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto, delivered on such Originator’s Effective Date and payable to such Originator in a principal amount equal to the Advance Limit thereunder (each, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, a “Subordinated Note”). Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note (or a continuation of such schedule attached thereto and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Advance made by such Originator, as well as the date and amount of each payment made by the Buyer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure of any Person to make such a notation shall not affect any obligations of Buyer thereunder. Any such notation shall be conclusive and binding as to the date and amount of such Advance, or payment of principal or interest thereon, absent manifest error.

(i) Repayment of Advances. All amounts paid by the Buyer with respect to the Advances shall be allocated first to the repayment of accrued interest until all such interest is paid, and then to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Buyer may borrow, repay and reborrow Advances on and after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein, including, without limitation, the requirement that no Advance be made to the extent that after giving effect thereto the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances would exceed the Advance Limit.

(ii) Interest. Each Subordinated Note shall bear interest from its date on the outstanding principal balance thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%, calculated as of the applicable Effective Date, as reset for each succeeding calendar month following March 2004 as the rate in effect as of the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding such calendar month. Interest on each Advance shall be computed based on the number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(iii) Subordination. The applicable Originator’s rights under its Subordinated Note shall be fully subordinated to any rights of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and shall not evidence any rights in the Receivables or related property.

(iv) Offsets, etc. The Buyer may offset any amount due and owing by the applicable Originator against any amount due and owing by Buyer to such Originator under the terms of its Subordinated Note.

Section 3.3 Settlement Report.

On each Settlement Date, each Originator shall deliver to the Buyer a monthly report, substantially in the form of Exhibit XI attached to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, showing, among other things, (a) the aggregate Purchase Price of Receivables sold by such Originator to the Buyer in the preceding month and (b) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Receivables that are Eligible Receivables.

Such Originator will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to, comply in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Furnishing of Information and Inspection of Records. Such Originator will furnish to the Buyer (and its assigns) from time to time such information with respect to its Receivables as the Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, listings identifying the Obligor and the Outstanding Balance for each Receivable.

Such Originator will extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable, and will amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto, only as provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreement or as contemplated by the Credit and Collection Policy unless such modification is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (solely with respect to the collectibility of such Receivable); provided that the classification of any such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable shall not be affected by such extension; provided, further, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall cause or result in the affected Receivable becoming an Eligible Receivable if, prior to such amendment, modification or waiver, the affected Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable or prevent such affected Receivable from being excluded as an Eligible Receivable if such affected Receivable would have been excluded as an Eligible Receivable if such amendment, modification or waiver had not been made or granted.

(l) No Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator will not make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy which might impair the collectibility of any Receivable, unless such change is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Person or sell, lease or transfer any portion of its assets if such merger or consolidation, sale, lease or transfer does not, individually or in the aggregate, (A) cause an Amortization Event or an Unmatured Amortization Event under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (B) have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors; Deposits to Lockboxes. Such Originator will not add or terminate, or make any change to, any Lock- Box Account, except in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(p) Indemnification. Such Originator agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer and its assignees harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, judgment, claim, deficiency, or expense (including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement) to which the Buyer and its assignees may become subject insofar as such loss, liability, damage, judgment, claim, deficiency, or expense arises out of any amendment to this Agreement, or arises out of or is based upon a breach by such Originator of its representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, or any written information certified in any schedule or certificate delivered by such Originator hereunder or in connection with the Transaction Documents, being untrue in any material respect at the time when made or deemed made; provided, however (i) the foregoing indemnification is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guaranty of the collectibility or payment of the Receivables conveyed hereunder and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.1(p) shall require any Originator to indemnify the Buyer or its assignees for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or otherwise uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor. The obligations of each Originator under this Section 5.1(p) shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Co-Agents and shall survive the execution, delivery, performance and termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years following the Purchase Termination Date, regardless of (A) any investigation made by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or the Co-Agents or on behalf of any of them, and (B) whether the event giving rise to such loss, liability, damage, judgment, claim, deficiency or expense occurred or is discovered prior to or after the Purchase Termination Date.

(q) ERISA. Such Originator shall promptly give the Buyer written notice upon becoming aware that such Originator is not in compliance in all material respects with ERISA or that any ERISA lien on any of the Receivables exists.

(r) Separate Existence. Such Originator shall at all times:

(i) maintain its deposit account or accounts separate from those of the Buyer and ensure that its funds will not be diverted to the Buyer nor will such funds be commingled with the funds of the Buyer (other than funds deposited to a Lock-Box Account, which funds may be commingled for a period not exceeding two (2) Business Days);

(ii) to the extent that it shares any officers or other employees with the Buyer, the salaries of and the expenses related to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among it and the Buyer, and such Originator and the Buyer shall bear their respective fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with all such common officers and employees;

(iii) to the extent that it jointly contracts with the Buyer to do business with vendors or service providers or to share overhead expenses, the costs incurred in so doing shall be allocated fairly between it and the Buyer, and it and the Buyer shall bear their fair shares of such costs. To the extent that it contracts or does business with vendors or service providers where the goods and services provided are partially for the benefit of the Buyer, the costs incurred in so doing shall be fairly allocated between it and the Buyer in proportion to the benefit of the goods or services each is provided, and the Originators and the Buyer shall bear their respective fair shares of such costs;

(iv) enter into all material transactions with the Buyer, whether currently existing or hereafter entered into, only on an arm’s length basis, including the tax effects of such transactions, it being understood and agreed that the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents meet the requirements of this clause (iv);

(v) maintain office space that is physically segregated from the office space of the Buyer (but which may be located at the same address as the Buyer) and, to the extent that it and the Buyer have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses;

(vi) take, or refrain from taking, as the case may be, all other actions that are necessary to be taken or not to be taken in order to comply with this Section 5.1;

(vii) cause each Affiliate included in the Parent Group to conduct its business in a manner designed not to mislead third parties as to the separate identity of the Buyer; and

(viii) cause each Affiliate included in the Parent Group to comply with each of the factual assumptions such that each such assumption contained in the legal opinion of King & Spalding delivered pursuant to the Section 6.1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is true and correct.

(s) Use of Proceeds. Such Originator shall not utilize the proceeds of the Purchase Price obtained by it for each sale made by it hereunder (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such Originator shall utilize the proceeds of the Purchase Price obtained by it for each sale made by it hereunder for general business or partnership purposes and to pay any related expenses payable by such Originator under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and for no other purpose.

(t) Other Indebtedness. If such Originator grants, conveys or suffers to exist any Lien on or in respect of any of its assets or properties that constitute Other Receivables to any Person as security for any Indebtedness incurred by such Originator, such Originator will simultaneously therewith cause such Person to enter into an intercreditor agreement with the Administrative Agent on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Co-Agent.

(u) Sale Treatment. Such Originator will not (i) account for (including for accounting purposes), or otherwise treat, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as a sale of Receivables or (solely in the case of Caremark) a capital contribution by such Originator to Buyer, or (ii) account for (other than for tax purposes) or otherwise treat the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement in any manner other than as a sale of Receivables by Buyer to the Administrative Agent as agent for the Purchasers. In addition, each Originator shall disclose (in a footnote or otherwise) in all of its respective financial statements (including any such financial statements consolidated with any other Persons’ financial statements) the existence and nature of the transactions contemplated hereby and by this Agreement and the interest of Buyer (in the case of such Originator’s financial statements) and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Purchasers, in the Receivables and Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto.

The Maker shall have the right to prepay and, subject to the limitations set forth in the Receivables Sale Agreement, reborrow Advances made to it without penalty or premium.
