RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of April 17, 2013, is by and between Henry Schein, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Schein”), Henry Schein Puerto Rico, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Puerto Rico (“Schein Puerto Rico”), Insource, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Insource”), Camlog USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and each of the parties that has executed a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit VII hereto as originator (Schein, Schein Puerto Rico, Insource and Camlog together with their successors and permitted assigns, and each such other party being referred to collectively as the “Originators” and individually as an “Originator”) and HSFR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I hereto, the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit I to the Purchase Agreement).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

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

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

Following the purchase of Receivables from the Originators, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 17, 2013 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, Schein, as initial Servicer, the various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”), and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as agent for each Purchaser Group (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

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

ARTICLE 1

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

Section 1.1 Initial Cash Contribution. On the date hereof, Schein does hereby contribute cash in the amount of approximately $400,000,000 as a capital contribution to HSFR, Inc. its wholly-owned subsidiary.


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

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

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables from an Originator hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4, the sale of Receivables hereunder by an Originator is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) such Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will mark its computer records indicating that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer and pledged to the Agent under the Purchase Agreement (which marking may take the form of a footnote or legend on any applicable entry screen for the Receivables data or system). In addition, Schein agrees that it will note in its consolidated financial statements that the Receivables of each Originator have been sold to Buyer. Each Originator will file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

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

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

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

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

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

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

second, by an increase in the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Loan of such Originator, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii); and

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

 

3


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

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

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence, a true-up of the settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables originated by such Originator during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered by such Originator for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although a true-up of the settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under a Subordinated Note made pursuant to this Section 1.3 and any contribution of capital by Schein to Buyer made pursuant to Section 1.3(b) may be made on any Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt all Receivables contributed to the Buyer hereunder shall be treated in the same manner as Receivables sold to Buyer hereunder (including for purposes of Section 1.4 and all representation and warranties set forth in Article II).

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

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

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

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

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

(e) any of the representations or warranties of the applicable Originator with respect to any Receivable originated by such Originator set forth in Article II were not true in all material respects when made,

 

4


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

Section 1.5 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed (other than interest calculated at the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate which shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be).

Section 1.6 License of Software. (a) 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 (and Buyer’s assignee) and the Servicer 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 Buyer’s assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) the date each of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

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

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

ARTICLE 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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

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

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

(c) Execution and Binding Effect. Each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Originator and, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Originator,

 

6


enforceable against such Originator in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity and will vest in the Buyer a valid undivided ownership interest in its Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds (the “Purchased Assets”) purported to be assigned thereby, subject to no Liens.

(d) Authorizations and Filings. Each Originator has obtained and holds in full force all authorizations, consents, approvals, licenses, exemptions or other actions by, registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any Official Body which are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by such Originator of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, the consummation by such Originator of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by such Originator of or the compliance by such Originator with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, or to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, to ensure that the Buyer will have a valid ownership interest in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds.

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

(f) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from such Originator) (i) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber, each Receivable originated by such Originator, its Related Security, Collections and related Proceeds, whether now existing and hereafter arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with each such Receivable. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables, the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds. Upon the filing of the necessary financing statements under the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose Law governs the perfection of the Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, the Buyer’s security interest in the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets will be perfected under Article 9 of such UCC (in the case of the other Purchased Assets, to the extent such security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement), free and clear of any Lien, except as created by the Transaction Documents. Such Originator’s jurisdiction of organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.

 

7


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

(h) Accurate and Complete Disclosure. No information furnished in writing by a Responsible Officer of such Originator pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date of which such information was furnished (including by omission of material information necessary to make such information not misleading); provided that, with respect to projected financial information of a general economic nature, and general industry information, such Originator represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed accurate at that time.

(i) [Intentionally Omitted.]

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

(k) Litigation. No injunction, decree or other decision has been issued or made by any Official Body that prevents, and to the knowledge of such Originator, no threat by any Person has been made to attempt to obtain any such decision that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on, the conduct by such Originator of a significant portion of such Originator’s business operations or any portion of its business operations affecting the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and the related Proceeds, and no litigation, investigation or proceeding exists or, to the knowledge of such Originator, is threatened in writing asserting the invalidity of any of the Transaction Documents, seeking to prevent the consummation of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or seeking any determination or ruling that could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect (A) the performance by such Originator of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or (B) the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Contracts or a material amount of the Receivables.

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

 

8


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

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

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

(p) Financial Condition.

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

(ii) Since December 29, 2012, there has been no material adverse change in, or material adverse effect upon, the business, operations or financial condition of such Originator.

(q) Financial Information. Solely with respect to Schein, if and when produced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the consolidated balance sheet of Schein as of the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income of Schein for the Fiscal Year then ended, fairly present the consolidated financial position of Schein as of such date and the consolidated results of the operations, all in accordance with GAAP; provided that, with respect to projected financial information of a general economic nature, and general industry information, Schein represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed accurate at that time.

(r) Investment Company. Such Originator is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(s) ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, either alone or when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of Schein and its ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole. Any excess of the accumulated benefit obligations under one or more Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) over the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan or Pension Plans is in an amount that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operations or properties of Schein and ERISA Affiliates taken as a whole.

 

9


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

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

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

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

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of each Originator Concerning the Receivables. By selling its Receivables to Buyer on each Purchase Date, each Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof and on the date of the Purchase from such Originator, that:

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

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

 

10


Lien any of its Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections, and Proceeds other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or except as released concurrent with the assignment to the Buyer hereunder).

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

(d) Credit and Collection Policy. The Credit and Collection Policy has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable originated by such Originator and related Contract and no material change to the Credit and Collection Policy has been made unless (i) the Agent has received prior written notice of such change and (ii) the Agent and the Required Purchaser Agents have consented to such change if such change could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Receivables generally or of any material portion of the Receivables. Neither such Originator nor any other Person has extended or modified the terms of any Receivable originated by such Originator or the related Contract except in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

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

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

Section 7.10 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

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

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Originator, Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). No Originator may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign at any time its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any other Person without the consent of each Originator. Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, has assigned to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and that the Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement.

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

Section 7.11 Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article”, “Section”, “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

SUBORDINATED NOTE

                    , 201    

1. Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HSFR, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SPV”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of [ORIGINATOR NAME], a(n)             ***[corporation] [limited liability company] [partnership]*** (“Originator”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on or before the date following the Termination Date which is one year and one day after the date on which (i) the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables sold by Originator under the Sale Agreement referred to below has been reduced to zero and (ii) Originator has paid to Buyer all indemnities, adjustments and other amounts which may be owed thereunder in connection with the Purchase thereunder (the “Collection Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all Subordinated Loans made from time to time by Originator to SPV pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of April 17, 2013 among Originator and certain of its affiliates, as sellers, and SPV, as buyer (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”). Reference to Section 1.3 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of each month (or portion thereof) during the term of this Subordinated Note, computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and changing on the first business day of each month hereafter (LIBOR); provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50 % per annum on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears; provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

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

 

V-1


4. Subordination. Originator shall have the right to receive, and SPV shall make, any and all payments and prepayments relating to the loans made under this Subordinated Note provided that, after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables (as each such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement hereinafter referred to) owned by SPV at such time exceeds the sum of (a) the Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) outstanding at such time under the Purchase Agreement, plus (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans made under this Subordinated Note. Originator hereby agrees that at any time during which the conditions set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be satisfied, Originator shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of any indebtedness or obligation of SPV owing to the Agent or any Purchaser under that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 17, 2013 by and among SPV, Henry Schein, Inc., as initial Servicer (the “Servicer”), various Purchaser Groups from time to time party thereto, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the agent (the “Agent”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement. Until the date on which the “Aggregate Invested Amount” outstanding under the Purchase Agreement has been repaid in full and all other obligations of SPV and/or the Servicer thereunder and under the Fee Letter referenced therein (all such obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), collectively, the “Senior Claim”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not institute against SPV any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(e) of the Sale Agreement unless and until the Collection Date has occurred. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of this Section 4, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

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

 

V-2


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

WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.

A-1


(b) Such Originator (other than Schein Puerto Rico and Insource) has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on such Originator’s business.

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

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

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

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

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

Upon filing of such UCC-1 Financing Statements in such filing offices and payment of the required filing fees, the security interest in favor of Buyer in the Receivables and the other Opinion Collateral will be perfected (in the case of the other Opinion Collateral to the extent the security interests may be perfected by the filing of UCC-1 financing statements).

(g) Originator is not an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9. A “true sale” opinion and “substantive consolidation” opinion of counsel for Originator with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement.
