Unless - ------------ ----- defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I. --------- PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS The Originators now own, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. The Originators wish to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from the Originators, all the Originators' right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto. The Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from the Originators to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to the 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 July 14, 2000 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the "Purchase Agreement") among ------------------ Buyer, Owens & Minor Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Parent"), O&M Medical, ------ as Servicer, the funding entities from time to time party thereto (the "Financial Institutions"), Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation ("Falcon"), - ----------------------- ------ Receivables Capital Corporation ("RCC"), and Liberty Street Funding Corp. --- ("Liberty Funding", Falcon, RCC, Liberty Funding and any party added as a - ----------------- Conduit pursuant to Section 12.3 of the Purchase Agreement being referred to collectively as the "Conduits", and together with the Financial Institutions, -------- the "Purchasers"), Bank One, NA, Bank of America, National Association and The ---------- Bank of Nova Scotia (each, a "Managing Agent" and collectively, the "Managing --------------- -------- Agents") and - ------ 1 Bank One, NA, as collateral agent for the Purchasers (together with its successors and assigns thereunder, the "Collateral Agent"). ---------------- ARTICLE I AMOUNTS AND TERMS Section 1.1 Purchase of Receivables. ----------------------- (a) Effective on the date hereof, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each 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 each Originator, all of such Originator's right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and all Receivables thereafter arising through and including the Amortization Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security, Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof Buyer shall acquire all of each such Originator's right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and thereafter arising through and including the Amortization Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof; provided, that, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price therefor in - -------- accordance with Section 1.2. In connection with the payment of the Purchase ----------- Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that each Originator deliver, and each Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request. (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a "sale of accounts" (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, the sale of ----------- Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to the Originators; provided, -------- however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all - ------- representations, warranties and covenants 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 any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of any Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), mark its master data ------------------ processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each 2 Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee), each Originator will, at such Originator's expense, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer's ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) may reasonably request. Section 1.2 Payment for the Purchase. ------------------------ (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Receivables in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof (the "Initial Cutoff Date") shall be payable in full by Buyer to each ------------------- Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to each Originator in the following manner: (i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, such funds to be allocated among the Originators as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion; and (ii) in the case of O&M Medical, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price payable to O&M Medical remains unpaid, by the reduction in the principal amount outstanding under the Originator Note of O&M Medical in an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price, until such outstanding principal amount is reduced to zero; and (iii) 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 least of (i) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer's Tangible Net Worth less than $10,000,000 and (iii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Net Value less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loans (including the Subordinated Loan proposed to be made on such date). 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. 3 The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to each 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 each Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d). -------------- --- --- (b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the date hereof, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.2(d) and in the following manner: -------------- first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent ----- of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to each Managing Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand, such funds to be allocated among the Originators as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion; and second, in the case of O&M Medical, to the extent any portion of ------ the Purchase Price payable to O&M Medical remains unpaid, by the reduction in the principal amount outstanding under the Originator Note of O&M Medical in an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price, until such outstanding principal amount is reduced to zero; and third, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains ----- unpaid, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that -------- the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(a)(iii). ------------------- Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(iii), each Originator ------------------- irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Amortization Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Notes 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, the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents or any other Person then entitled to any amounts as specified in the Purchase Agreement. (c) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to make demand loans ("Originator Loans") to O&M Medical ---------------- prior to the Amortization Date in such amounts as O&M Medical may request from time to time; provided, however, that (i) each such Originator Loan may be made -------- ------- 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, the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents or any other Person then entitled to 4 any amounts as specified in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) no Originator Loan shall be made to the extent that any amounts are outstanding under any Subordinated Note, (iii) no Originator Loan shall be made if, at such time and or after giving effect thereto, an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event is outstanding, and (iv) no Originator Loan shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Originator Loans would exceed the amount of the Tangible Net Worth of Buyer. The Originator Loans made to O&M Medical shall be evidenced by a demand promissory note in the form of Exhibit VII to this Agreement. Originator Loans may be repaid by O&M ----------- Medical, in whole or in part, at any time. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder. If, at any time that Originator Loans are outstanding, Buyer has insufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have made demand upon O&M Medical for the amount of such shortfall, up to the aggregate principal amount of all Originator Loans then outstanding. (d) From and after the Amortization Date, no Originator shall be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer unless such Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans or otherwise. (e) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the date hereof shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to each Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Accrual Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the ------------ Purchase Agreement for the Accrual Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Originator Note and the Subordinated Notes made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of -------------- the last Business Day of the Accrual Period to which such settlement relates. Section 1.3 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day: --------------------------------- (a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is: (i) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or non-conforming goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by an Originator (other than cash Collections on account of the Receivables), 5 (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or (b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II ---------- are no longer true with respect to any Receivable, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a "Purchase -------- Price Credit") against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to - ------------ the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables coming into existence on any day, then the applicable Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit either (i) in cash within five (5) Business Days thereafter, or (ii) by deducting the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to such Originator under its Subordinated Note; provided, however, that so long as an Amortization Event or a Potential -------- ------- Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, such Purchase Price Credit shall be paid by such Originator, to Buyer, in cash, by deposit of immediately available funds to the relevant Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections on the applicable Receivable in such amount had been received on such date. In the event that an Originator has paid in full the Purchase Price Credit of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 1.3, Buyer shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without - ----------- representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens created by Buyer. Section 1.4 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 Originator fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Originator 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. Section 1.5 Transfer of Records. ------------------- (a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator's right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Collateral Agent and the Servicer an 6 irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the 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 Originator to such grant of the license described herein be required, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms and all amounts payable hereunder in respect of any Receivables or otherwise have been paid in full. (b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing 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, the Collateral Agent 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 the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records. Section 1.6 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of ---------------- the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), 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 hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator's right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, Related Security and Records with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account and all proceeds of the foregoing, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) 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 after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Section 1.7 Addition of Originators. Any Subsidiary of the Parent ----------------------- may become an Originator hereunder with the prior written consent of Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees). Each Subsidiary of the Parent that is proposed to be added as an Originator shall give to Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) prior written notice of its desire to be added as an Originator. Once 7 the notice has been given, any addition of a Subsidiary of the Parent as an Originator pursuant to this section shall become effective on the first Business Day following the date on which (i) such Subsidiary and the parties hereto shall have executed and delivered the agreements, instruments and other documents (including, without limitation, opinions of counsel, financing statements and collection account agreements) and the amendments or other modifications to the Transaction Documents, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer (and to the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees), that Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) determines are necessary or appropriate to effect the addition, (ii) the Parent confirms in writing that the guaranty under Article XIV of the Purchase Agreement covers the obligations of such new Originator as an Originator and (iii) Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) shall have consented, in writing, to the addition of such new Originator. Upon such effectiveness, any reference to "Originator" in this Agreement shall refer to each existing Originator and each Subsidiary of the Parent added as an Originator pursuant to this Section. Section 1.8 Termination of Status as an Originator. At any time -------------------------------------- when more than one Person is an Originator, an Originator may terminate its obligations as an Originator hereunder if: (i) the Originator (a "Terminating Originator") shall have given ---------------------- Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice of its intention to terminate; provided, however, that the Originator shall not be -------- ------- required to give more than thirty (30) days' notice in the case of a termination resulting from a merger permitted by Section 4.2(g), -------------- (ii) an Authorized Officer of the Parent shall have certified that the termination by the Terminating Originator of its status as an Originator will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, financial condition or operations or assets of Buyer, (iii) both immediately before and after giving effect to the termination by the Terminating Originator, no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing or shall reasonably be expected to occur as a result of such termination, (iv) both immediately before and after giving effect to the termination by the Terminating Originator, the Aggregate Capital shall not exceed the Purchase Limit, and (v) Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) shall have consented (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), in writing, to the termination of the obligations of such Terminating Originator. 8 Any termination by an Originator shall become effective on the first Business Day that follows the day on which the requirements of clauses (i) through (v) ----------- --- shall have been satisfied (or such later date specified in the notice or certificate referred to in the clauses). Any termination by an Originator shall terminate its rights and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the -------- ------- termination shall not relieve the Terminating Originator of obligations which relate to Transferred Receivables owned by or obligations of the Terminating Originator arising prior to the effective date of the termination. Section 1.9 Facility Fee. ------------ (a) In consideration for the agreement by Buyer to provide the receivables purchase facility hereunder and to purchase Receivables from the Originators pursuant to this Agreement, each Originator agrees to pay Buyer a facility fee (the "Facility Fee") as set forth in this Section 1.9. The ------------ ----------- Facility Fee shall accrue from the date of the initial purchase from such Originator hereunder, in each case to the Amortization Date, and shall be payable in arrears by such Originator on each Settlement Date and the Amortization Date. (b) The Facility Fee payable by each Originator on any Settlement Date and on the Amortization Date shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula : FF = FFOB x FFP where: FF = the Facility Fee payable by such Originator on such date. FFOB = the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables that were purchased from such Originator during the Accrual Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date. (For purposes of this calculation, the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable shall be measured only at the time of such Receivable's creation and sale (or in the case of the initial purchase from any Originator, sale) to Buyer.) FFP = the Facility Fee Percentage as measured on such Settlement Date as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) below. ------------- (c) "Facility Fee Percentage" as measured on any Settlement Date ----------------------- (or the Amortization Date) means for each Originator a percentage determined in accordance with the following formula: FFP = (OTD/360) x FR 9 where: FFP = the Facility Fee Percentage as measured on such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date); OTD = the "Originator Turnover Days" for such Originator, which shall ------------------------ be equal to the product of (x) the quotient of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables originated by such Originator during the Accrual Period which occurs two months prior to the month in which such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date) occurs, divided by (ii) the aggregate amount of the Collections received during the Accrual Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date) on Receivables originated by such Originator, multiplied by (y) the number of days in the calendar month coinciding with such Accrual Period; and FR = the Funding Rate as measured on such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date), as determined pursuant to paragraph (d) ------------- below. (d) "Funding Rate" as measured on any Settlement Date (or the ------------ Amortization Date) means a per annum percentage rate determined in accordance with the following formula: FR = 0.02% + DRP + SFP + EXP where: FR = the Funding Rate as measured on such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date); DRP = the "Discount Rate Percentage", which shall be equal to a ------------------------ fraction (expressed as a percentage) (x) the numerator of which is the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (A) each CP Rate, Base Rate or LIBO Rate applicable to Capital outstanding as of the first day of the Accrual Period ending immediately prior to such Settlement Date (or the Amortization Date), times (B) the amount of Capital to which such CP Rate, Base Rate or LIBO Rate applied on such first day, and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding amount of Capital on such first day; 10 SFP = the "Servicer's Fee Percentage", which shall be equal to the per ------------------------- annum percentage rate set forth in Section 8.6 of the Purchase ------------ Agreement; and EXP = the amount, which shall be equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage), (x) the numerator of which is the sum of any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer during the Accrual Period preceding such Settlement Date or Amortization Date (and not accounted for in the Adjustment Factor), including, without limitation, reserve costs, tax payments and indemnity obligations of Buyer for which Buyer is not indemnified pursuant to this Agreement and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables that were purchased from such Originator during the Accrual Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date or Amortization Date; provided, however, -------- ------- that, for purposes of minimizing fluctuations in the rate calculated as the Funding Rate, the Servicer may allocate and spread any unscheduled or unaccruable costs and expenses of Buyer over several Settlement Dates and the Amortization Date at the Servicer's reasonable discretion, subject to the requirement that such allocation be reasonably calculated to allow Buyer to recover such costs and expenses over a reasonable period of time. Section 1.10 Limited Role of the Parent. Although certain of the -------------------------- Originators may do business under the name "Owens & Minor", legal and beneficial ownership of the Receivables (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder) remains in the name of the Originator that generated such Receivables. The Parent is an Originator for the sole purpose of transferring any right, title or interest, if any, it may have in the Receivables. ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Originators. Each --------------------------------------------- Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and each Purchaser, as assignee of Buyer, that: (a) Corporate Existence and Power.

Each sale made by such Originator pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a valid sale, transfer and assignment of Receivables to Buyer, enforceable against creditors of, and purchasers from, such Originator.

A certificate as to the amounts prepared by an Indemnified Party, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive, and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Indemnified Party makes a timely written demand therefor or the time at which such amount is payable after a timely written demand therefor has been made, whichever is earlier.

Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Purchaser before the date it receives its first payment with respect to a Purchaser Interest, and before the date it receives its first payment with respect to a Purchaser Interest occurring after the date, if any, that such Non-U.S. Purchaser changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office").

(viii) Any Indemnified Party claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall use reasonable -------------- efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by an Originator or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the good faith determination of such Indemnified Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Indemnified Party. (ix) Nothing contained in this Section 6.1(c) shall require an -------------- Indemnified Party to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary). (x) If any Indemnified Party receiving an indemnification payment hereunder with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes or liabilities arising therefrom shall subsequently receive a refund from any taxing authority which is specifically attributable to such indemnification payment, such Person shall promptly pay such refund to the applicable Originator.
