(a) Where applicable, Seller at its own expense will execute and deliver to Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, financing statements on Form UCC-1 prepared by Purchaser necessary to perfect Purchasers first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets.
(b) If requested by Purchaser, Seller, at its own cost and expense, will promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of any or all Account Documents to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination by Purchaser of the Services Agreement pursuant to Section 11 of the Services Agreement, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver to Purchaser promptly following such default: (i) originals of any or all Account Documents constituting chattel paper (as defined in the UCC); (ii) originals of all Account Documents relating solely to the Purchased Assets; (iii) copies of all other Account Documents; and (iv) such other memorialized data, documents and records related to the documents referenced in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (including without limitation true copies of any computer tapes and data in computer memories) as Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary to enable it to enforce its rights thereunder or protect its position as owner or holder of the Purchased Assets. In addition, in the event that Purchaser assumes servicing responsibilities for any Account pursuant to Section 2 of Exhibit A to the Services Agreement, the Seller shall deliver the documents described in clauses (i) through (iv) above that relate to such Account. After any delivery under this Section 5.1(b), Seller will not keep or retain any executed counterpart or other copy of any such documents referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above, or related material, without clearly marking the same to indicate conspicuously that the same is not the original and that transfer thereof does not transfer any rights against any Account Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall
14
have no obligation to deliver to Purchaser any documents relating to Exempt Materials (as defined in the Services Agreement).
Section 5.2 Protection of Ownership Interest of Purchaser.
(a) Seller will from time to time do and perform any and all acts (other than the payment of money) and execute any and all documents (including, without limitation, the execution, amendment or supplementation of any financing statements or continuation statements relating to the Purchased Assets, the Accounts and/or the interests purchased pursuant hereto) for filing under the provisions of the UCC or other applicable statute of any applicable jurisdiction, the execution, amendment or supplementation of any instrument of transfer as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the sale contemplated hereunder and to perfect and protect the interest of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets against all Persons whomsoever to the maximum extent necessary to protect Purchasers interest; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no MCC Event of Default or MCC Change of Control (each as defined in the Services Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall be under no obligation (i) to obtain any estoppel, waiver or consent from any Person relating to or in respect of any Equipment, (ii) to deliver original counterparts of any or all Account Documents to Purchaser, or (iii) to notify any Account Party of Purchasers interest in the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser assumes servicing responsibilities for any Account pursuant to Section 2 of Exhibit A to the Services Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to cause Seller to take the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such Account.
(b) As of the date hereof, Purchaser is hereby designated Sellers attorney-in-fact to sign and file, on behalf of Seller, financing and continuation statements and amendments thereto and any other documentation pertaining to the Purchased Assets and any other interests purchased pursuant hereto, to the extent consistent with the proviso contained in Section 5.2(a).
Section 5.3 Administration of Taxes.
(a) Payment of Taxes. After the date hereof, Seller shall pay all Taxes as levied by any taxing authority in any jurisdiction (i) with respect to the Payments and Purchased Assets on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to the Equipment and the Retained Payment Rights, and Purchaser or its Affiliates shall pay all Taxes as levied by any taxing authority in any jurisdiction with respect to the ownership of the Payments and Purchased Assets after the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Taxes that are not the direct responsibility of Seller, MAH or MAS or Purchaser (including Taxes for which Seller, MAH or MAS or Purchaser is secondarily liable as collection agent), Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall only be liable hereunder to the extent payment is received on account of such Taxes from the applicable Account Party. For purposes of this Section 5.3(b), (i) personal property taxes in respect of which the assessment (lien) date occurs on or before the date hereof shall be deemed to be Taxes levied by a taxing authority with respect to the ownership of the Purchased Assets on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) personal property taxes in respect of which the assessment (lien) date occurs after the date hereof shall be deemed to be Taxes levied by a taxing authority with respect to the ownership of the Purchased Assets after the date hereof.
15
(b) Cooperation with Respect to Tax Returns. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, and each at their own expense, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax return, for the preparation for any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes or any appraisal of the Purchased Assets. Seller shall retain in its possession all Tax returns and tax records relating to the Payments and the Purchased Assets that might be relevant to any taxable period ending on or prior to the date hereof until the relevant statute of limitations has expired. After such time, Seller may dispose of such materials, provided that prior to such disposition Seller shall give Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to take possession of such materials.
(c) Transfer Taxes. Seller shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser against) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (including, without limitation, UCC filing fees, title recording or filing fees and other amounts payable in respect of transfer filings) as levied by any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on Purchaser or its Affiliates).
(d) Income Tax. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, or in the Services Agreement or the Assignment, Seller shall not be responsible to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be responsible to Seller, for any federal, state or local taxes based upon or measured by net income or gains from the sale, transfer and assignment of the Purchased Assets from Seller to Purchaser.
ARTICLE VI.
REPURCHASE AND INDEMNITY
Section 6.1 Mandatory Repurchase. In the event of a Loss related to a Purchased Asset, solely to the extent arising from or directly related to a breach by Seller of any of its representations or warranties set forth in Article II of this Agreement, Seller will, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Loss (such notice to be delivered by Purchaser within 30 days after first becoming aware of the incurrence of such Loss and to contain in reasonable detail a description of such Loss and the relationship to such underlying breach), without first requiring Purchaser to proceed against any Account Party or any other Person for any security, repurchase the Purchased Asset directly affected thereby and pay Purchaser in cash an amount equal to (a) the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to such Purchased Asset (such allocation to be undertaken on a ratable basis, in accordance with the relative discounted Payments as of the Purchase Date), less (b) the amount of all Payments previously paid to Purchaser and allocable to such Purchased Asset, discounted to the Purchase Date at a per annum rate of 6.21%, plus (c) interest on the difference of (a) minus (b) calculated from the Purchase Date to the date of payment at 6.21% per annum. Upon receipt of such payment by Seller, Purchaser shall reassign the Purchased Asset, without recourse against or warranty by Purchaser, and shall promptly deliver a release regarding such Purchased Asset to Seller. Such payment shall constitute liquidated damages, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser in connection with or in respect of any such breach of representation and warranty.
16
Section 6.2 Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify and save harmless Purchaser, its successors and Permitted Assigns from and against any and all suits, claims, counterclaims, Losses or liabilities of any kind Purchaser shall suffer as a result of: (a) any negligence of Seller, or of any agent or employee of Seller, or any warranty given by Seller in respect of the purchase, installation, delivery, maintenance and condition of any Equipment; any breach by Seller of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement contained herein or in the Services Agreement, or in any Account Document not fully covered under Section 6.1 above; (c) any Loss, liability, demand or cause of action and any expense incidental to the defense thereof by Purchaser from the use, possession, operation or installation of any Equipment; and (d) any Taxes (including, without limitation, any sales tax, use tax, excise tax, personal property tax, assessments and ad valorem tax) and any governmental charges, fees, fines or penalties whatsoever, levied against any Payment for any periods prior to the date hereof and not paid by the respective Account Party or Seller and including any Taxes arising on the purchase and sale contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that, except for any indemnity sought pursuant to Section 6.2(b) above as to which this proviso shall not apply, notwithstanding any term or provision hereof to the contrary, Seller shall be under no obligation to indemnify or save harmless Purchaser, its successors or assigns, from or against any suits, claims, counterclaims, Losses or liabilities of any kind that Purchaser shall suffer (i) solely to the extent arising from or directly related to any such indemnified Persons negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) to the extent the same constitutes directly or indirectly recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Payments, or (iii) to the extent resulting from any Event of Bankruptcy of any Account Party, or the unexcused failure of any Account Party to perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable Account Documents.
Section 6.3 Survival. The rights and obligations of Seller under this Article 6 shall survive the execution of this Agreement, consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereunder, any Payment or any repurchase by Seller of any Purchased Asset.

Section 7.4 Waivers. Except to the extent specific time periods are specified for exercising any power, right or remedy, no failure or delay on the part of Seller or Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or, in the case of Purchaser, any assignment shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
Section 7.5 Notices; Publicity.
(a) All communications and notices pursuant hereto, to any party shall be in writing and addressed or delivered to it at its address shown in the opening portion of this Agreement, or at such other address as may be designated by it by notice to the other party and shall be effective when received.

Section 7.8 Headings and Cross-References. The various headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. References to any Section are to such Section of this Agreement.
18

In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
Section 7.14 Security Interest. The parties hereto intend that the transactions contemplated herein shall constitute a purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, a court of competent jurisdiction were to hold that the purchase of the Purchased Assets hereunder does not constitute a valid sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets as set forth above, but instead constitutes a loan in the amount of the Purchase Price or otherwise, then this Agreement shall be deemed a present grant of a security interest (within the meaning of the UCC) in favor of the Purchaser and all of the Sellers right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, the Equipment and the Lockbox Account to secure such loan in the initial amount of the Purchase Price. Seller hereby grants a first priority security interest to the Purchaser in all of the Sellers right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, the Equipment and the Lockbox Account, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC.
19

GUARANTY OF McKESSON CORPORATION
To: General Electric Capital Corporation
We request you to do business with McKesson Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called MCC), which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation. To induce you to do so, we guarantee to you that MCC will fully and promptly perform its obligations under (a) the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof between you and MCC (the Purchase Agreement) and (b) the Services Agreement dated as of the date hereof between you and MCC (the Services Agreement), including, in the case of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement, the obligations of MCC thereunder to pay money, perform services or provide indemnification.
This guaranty shall terminate immediately upon an MCC Change of Control (as defined in the Services Agreement), except to the extent of any obligations of MCC arising under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement prior thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an MCC Change of Control, as a condition to the termination of this guaranty we will cause MCC to provide to you a substitute guaranty, or such other assurance, satisfactory to you that the obligations of MCC under the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement will be fulfilled.
Our obligations under this guaranty are independent of and separate from the obligations of MCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by MCC, you can sue us separately from MCC, whether or not you sue MCC in such lawsuit and whether or not you sue MCC in a separate lawsuit. If you proceed with any course of action under this guaranty or against MCC, that choice shall not preclude you from taking any other course of action.
We assume all responsibility for keeping informed of (a) the financial condition and assets of MCC, (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-performance by MCC of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement, and (c) the nature, scope and extent of the risks which we assume and incur under this guaranty. We agree that you shall have no duty to advise us of information known to you regarding such circumstances or risks. We waive notice of your acceptance of this guaranty and of presentment, demand, protest and notice of non-performance.
You may at any time, without our consent, without notice to us and without affecting or impairing our obligation under this guaranty, consent to the renewal, modification or extension of the Purchase Agreement and/or the Services Agreement by MCC, provided such renewal, modification or extension is approved by a duly authorized representative of MCC. This guaranty constitutes the complete understanding between you and us as to the subject matter hereof. This guaranty may be modified only in a written document signed by the party against whom the modification is sought to be enforced.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that: (a) (i) the undersigned is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged and (ii) the undersigned has the power and authority and the legal right and capacity to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this guaranty and has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this guaranty; and (b) this guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, general equitable principles and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
This guaranty is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.
The undersigned may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without your express prior written consent. This guaranty may be assigned by you, without the consent of the undersigned. The undersigned agrees that if it receives written notice of an assignment from you, the undersigned will pay all amounts due hereunder to such assignee or as instructed by you. The undersigned also agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by assignee. This guaranty shall bind our successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to your successors and assigns.
The undersigned agrees that its obligations under this guaranty shall be primary, absolute, continuing and unconditional and shall be unaffected by MCCs voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or similar proceedings affecting MCC or any of its assets. If, by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws effecting the rights of creditors, you shall be prohibited from exercising any of your rights or remedies against MCC or any its property, then, as between you and the undersigned, such prohibition shall be of no force and effect, and you shall have the right to make demand upon, and receive payment from, the undersigned of all amounts and other sums that would be due to you upon a default under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement. The undersigned agrees that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment or performance of any of the obligations (or any part thereof) of MCC under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement is rescinded, reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned by you, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.

11. Termination.
(a) Either Purchaser or MCC may terminate this Agreement due to any default in the performance by the other party of its material obligations under this Agreement, on written notice identifying in reasonable detail the cause for termination. Such termination shall be effective without further action or notice by the terminating party thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, unless prior to the expiration of such 30-day period the default or other cause is cured or remedied; provided, however, that if such default or other cause cannot be cured or remedied with commercially reasonable efforts within such 30-day period, the period for cure or remedy shall be extended for thirty (30) additional days on the conditions that: (i) the non-defaulting party shall have consented in writing to the extension of the cure period, which
6
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the defaulting party shall have commenced good-faith efforts to cure or remedy such default or other cause within the initial 30-day period and shall continue to pursue such efforts diligently until the cure or remedy is accomplished.
(b) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement (i) upon the occurrence of a MCC Event of Default that is not cured, if a cure is available, within the applicable cure period, a MCC Change of Control or a Portfolio Event of Default or (ii) if the Net Worth of Parent falls below $1.0 billion. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any such termination, Purchaser shall collect and promptly remit to MCC any and all amounts in respect of any Retained Payment Rights received by Purchaser (either directly or through the Lockbox Account) after the termination date.
(c) Upon any termination of this Agreement (other than any termination pursuant to subsection (a) above on account of Purchasers default), MCC shall reimburse to Purchaser the portion of the Services Fee (as defined in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement) which is unearned as of the date of the termination. The portion of the Services Fee to be reimbursed to Purchaser shall equal the unamortized portion of the Service Fee as of the termination date (calculated on a straight-line basis based upon an annual accrual of $125,000 (or $10,417 per month)).
12. Purchased Assets; Application of Amounts Received; Servicer Advances.
(a) All Purchased Assets are and shall at all times be the sole and exclusive property of Purchaser, and MCC shall not have or assert any lien, claim or other right to, or interest in, such property of Purchaser. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the originals and all copies of such property of Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser promptly, and MCC shall have no right to withhold such property of Purchaser for any reason, including, without limitation, any dispute, offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that MCC might have against Purchaser; provided, however, that MCC may at all times retain (i) the Exempt Materials, and (ii) one or more copies of any documents and agreements, as may be necessary or appropriate for tax or audit purposes or as advised by counsel.
(b) All Payments and other property received by MCC with respect to the Purchased Assets (other than in respect of Retained Payment Rights) shall be for the account of Purchaser, shall be deemed received and held in trust for Purchaser and, in respect of any Payments and other property received by MCC and not remitted by the applicable Account Party directly to the Lockbox Account, shall be remitted by MCC to the Lockbox Account on a date not later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Payment and/or other property by MCC. Subject to MCCs removal and refund rights described below in this subsection (b), all Payments remitted to the Lockbox Account shall be swept from such Lockbox Account by Purchaser on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the date of remittance of such Payments into the Lockbox Account (each such date, a Lockbox Account Sweep Date), provided, however, that no Payments shall be swept from the Lockbox Account during the first five (5) days of any calendar month. MCC shall not be entitled to set-off from amounts to be paid by MCC to the Lockbox Account under any provision of this Agreement any amounts purported to be owed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to MCC or any of its Affiliates. Late charges related to any period prior to the date hereof shall be retained by MCC. Late charges
7
related to any period on or after the date hereof shall be paid to Purchaser. On the Business Day immediately following the date on which any Payments are remitted to the Lockbox Account, MCC shall provide a report to Purchaser containing such information regarding all Payments and other property remitted to the Lockbox Account on such remittance date as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, including, without limitation, matching such Payments and other property to the corresponding Purchaser lease number. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, subject to the terms of the Lockbox Account Documents, MCC shall at all times have the right to direct the bank with whom the Lockbox Account is established to remove from the Lockbox Account and to pay to MCC, without further authorization or approval from Purchaser, all amounts deposited therein identified by the Account Party as Retained Payment Rights or to the extent such amounts have not been identified as Payments and exceed the portion of any outstanding invoices for Payments related to such Account Party. Purchaser agrees to execute such documents and agreements and to take such actions as the bank may reasonably request to effectuate the removal of such amounts from the Lockbox Account. In addition, if MCC shall determine that any other amounts in respect of any Retained Payment Rights have been remitted to the Lockbox Account, then Purchaser shall promptly refund the amount in respect of such Retained Payment Rights to MCC within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written request for such refund from MCC (provided that MCC has delivered to Purchaser reasonably satisfactory information supporting such determination by MCC).
(c) Provided Purchaser is not required at such time to deliver to MCC the notice pursuant to Section 18 below, MCC agrees that, with respect to each Payment Date, MCC will remit to the Lockbox Account an amount equal to the Payments correlating thereto, less any Servicer Advance Deductions (defined below), whether or not MCC has received payment thereof from the related Account Party, which amount shall be deemed a full recourse loan by MCC to Purchaser (each such amount, being referred to herein as a Servicer Advance); provided, however, that MCC shall not be required to make any Servicer Advances in respect of an Account that is no longer being serviced by MCC under this Agreement or is a Non-Performing Account by virtue of clause (b), (c) or (d) of the definition thereof. MCC will make Servicer Advances in respect of any Account only in an amount up to the amount equal to three (3) monthly payments for such Account. Servicer Advances will be repaid (together with interest thereon at the rate of 4.0% percent per annum) by Purchaser on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) the date on which a Payment is, or Payments are, as applicable, subsequently received by MCC from an Account Party which represent such Servicer Advance (and MCC may retain the same in satisfaction of Purchasers repayment obligation relating thereto, provided that any failure by MCC to retain or net out any such amount shall not impair any right of recourse by MCC against Purchaser for repayment of any Servicer Advance); (ii) the date on which the servicing contemplated herein in respect of the applicable Account is terminated; (iii) provided that MCC shall have paid Servicer Advances outstanding on such Account in an amount equal to three (3) monthly Payments, the next succeeding Payment Date (and if to be repaid on such date, the same may be netted out from MCCs then scheduled remittance to Purchaser, provided that any failure by MCC to retain or net out any such amount shall not impair any right of recourse by MCC against Purchaser for repayment of any Servicer Advance); and (iv) five (5) Business Days following the date on which Purchaser has determined such Account to be uncollectible in accordance with its customary practices or MCC has determined such Account to be uncollectible in accordance with its customary and historic practices. The
8
Servicer Advance Deductions shall be any amounts already remitted to the Lockbox Account in accordance with Section 12(b).
(d) If an Account Party remits to MCC amounts that are not immediately identifiable as Payments, and that are not immediately identifiable as payments in respect of any Retained Payment Rights, then MCC shall apply such amounts as follows: first, to delinquent payments in the order such payments were due and to the extent such payments were due on the same date, pro rata among such payments, and second, so long as all payments due are current, to Purchaser and MCC (or if a Person other than Purchaser or MCC has an interest in such amounts (a Third Party Purchaser), to any such Third Party Purchaser), pro rata based on the amount of obligations then due and payable; provided, however, that if the foregoing allocation is not reasonably acceptable to any such Third Party Purchaser(s), Purchaser agrees to enter into good faith negotiations in respect of modification thereof to be undertaken with reasonable promptness upon request of MCC.
(e) If MCC receives Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Account, MCC shall apply such Liquidation Proceeds as follows: first, to the payment of any Taxes with respect to such Account, second, in respect of any delinquent amounts owed to Purchaser, MCC or any Third Party Purchaser, in the order in which such amounts became due, third, to Purchaser and to any Third Party Purchaser who has an interest in such amounts, pro rata based on, and to the extent of, the amount of obligations with respect to such Account then due and owing to Purchaser or such Third Party Purchaser, and fourth, to MCC to the extent of its Residual Interest; provided, however, that if the foregoing allocation is not reasonably acceptable to such Third Party Purchaser(s), Purchaser agrees to enter into good faith negotiations in respect of modification thereof to be undertaken with reasonable promptness upon request of MCC.
(f) To the extent that MCC receives amounts relating to Taxes with respect to an Account, whether or not constituting part of the collections relating to such Account, MCC shall cause the same to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority in order to satisfy any valid, uncontested obligations in respect of such Taxes. In addition, if any Account Party remits amounts relating to Taxes to the Lockbox Account, MCC shall at all times have the right, without further authorization or approval from Purchaser, to direct the bank with whom the Lockbox Account is established to remove the same from the Lockbox Account and pay such amounts to MCC, and MCC shall cause such amounts to be remitted to the relevant taxing authority in order to satisfy any valid, uncontested obligations in respect of such Taxes. Purchaser agrees to execute such documents and agreements and to take such actions as the bank may reasonably request to effectuate the removal of such amounts from the Lockbox Account.
13. Representations of MCC. MCC hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that:

Exhibit E
GUARANTY OF McKESSON CORPORATION
To: General Electric Capital Corporation
We request you to do business with McKesson Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called MCC), which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation. To induce you to do so, we guarantee to you that MCC will fully and promptly perform its obligations under (a) the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof between you and MCC (the Purchase Agreement) and (b) the Services Agreement dated as of the date hereof between you and MCC (the Services Agreement), including, in the case of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement, the obligations of MCC thereunder to pay money, perform services or provide indemnification.
This guaranty shall terminate immediately upon an MCC Change of Control (as defined in the Services Agreement), except to the extent of any obligations of MCC arising under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement prior thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon an MCC Change of Control, as a condition to the termination of this guaranty we will cause MCC to provide to you a substitute guaranty, or such other assurance, satisfactory to you that the obligations of MCC under the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement will be fulfilled.
Our obligations under this guaranty are independent of and separate from the obligations of MCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default by MCC, you can sue us separately from MCC, whether or not you sue MCC in such lawsuit and whether or not you sue MCC in a separate lawsuit. If you proceed with any course of action under this guaranty or against MCC, that choice shall not preclude you from taking any other course of action.
We assume all responsibility for keeping informed of (a) the financial condition and assets of MCC, (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-performance by MCC of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Services Agreement, and (c) the nature, scope and extent of the risks which we assume and incur under this guaranty. We agree that you shall have no duty to advise us of information known to you regarding such circumstances or risks. We waive notice of your acceptance of this guaranty and of presentment, demand, protest and notice of non-performance.
You may at any time, without our consent, without notice to us and without affecting or impairing our obligation under this guaranty, consent to the renewal, modification or extension of the Purchase Agreement and/or the Services Agreement by MCC, provided such renewal, modification or extension is approved by a duly authorized representative of MCC. This guaranty constitutes the complete understanding between you and us as to the subject matter hereof. This guaranty may be modified only in a written document signed by the party against whom the modification is sought to be enforced.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that: (a) (i) the undersigned is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged and (ii) the undersigned has the power and authority and the legal right and capacity to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this guaranty and has taken all necessary action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this guaranty; and (b) this guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, general equitable principles and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
This guaranty is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.
The undersigned may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without your express prior written consent. This guaranty may be assigned by you, without the consent of the undersigned. The undersigned agrees that if it receives written notice of an assignment from you, the undersigned will pay all amounts due hereunder to such assignee or as instructed by you. The undersigned also agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by assignee. This guaranty shall bind our successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to your successors and assigns.
The undersigned agrees that its obligations under this guaranty shall be primary, absolute, continuing and unconditional and shall be unaffected by MCCs voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or similar proceedings affecting MCC or any of its assets. If, by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws effecting the rights of creditors, you shall be prohibited from exercising any of your rights or remedies against MCC or any its property, then, as between you and the undersigned, such prohibition shall be of no force and effect, and you shall have the right to make demand upon, and receive payment from, the undersigned of all amounts and other sums that would be due to you upon a default under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement. The undersigned agrees that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment or performance of any of the obligations (or any part thereof) of MCC under the Purchase Agreement or the Services Agreement is rescinded, reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned by you, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
