RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Dated as of November 1, 2000
MIM HEALTH PLANS, INC., a corporation organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware (together with its corporate successors and assigns,
"MIM," and in its capacity as primary servicer hereunder, the "PRIMARY
SERVICER"), each of the parties named on Schedule I hereto and as such Schedule
may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section 5.18 herein (each,
including MIM, together with each one's corporate successors and assigns, a
"PROVIDER" and, collectively, the "PROVIDERS") and MIM FUNDING LLC, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (together
with its successors and assigns, the "PURCHASER"), agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and
used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to this Agreement.
References herein and in the Exhibits and Schedules hereto to the "Agreement"
refer to this Agreement, as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from
time to time in accordance with its terms (the "AGREEMENT").
Each Provider wishes to sell or contribute to the Purchaser on
a continuing basis all of its receivables. The Purchaser is prepared to purchase
or to accept the contribution of such receivables on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
TERMS OF THE PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 1.01 Sale, Contribution and Purchase of Accounts. On each
Transfer Date until the Facility Termination Date and on the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Provider agrees to sell or contribute, without
recourse except to the extent of a required repurchase due to a breach of a
representation or warranty, all of the Provider's Accounts to the Purchaser, and
the Purchaser agrees to purchase or accept such contribution of, all of such
Provider's Accounts.
SECTION 1.02 Receivable Information and Transferred Batch
Determination. (a) On each Batching Day after the Initial Transfer Date, the
Primary Servicer, on behalf of each Provider, shall provide the Master Servicer
by Transmission the information listed on Exhibit VI hereto (as such Exhibit may
be modified by the Purchaser from time to time, the "RECEIVABLE INFORMATION")
with respect to new Accounts that it has determined constitute Eligible
Receivables (the "PROPOSED ELIGIBLE RECEIVABLES") and with respect to new
Accounts that it has determined do not constitute Eligible Receivables.
(b) All Proposed Eligible Receivables for which Receivable Information
has been received by the Master Servicer between the prior Batching Time and the
current Batching Time shall be reviewed by the HFG Group. On or prior to each
Transfer Date, the Purchaser or the Program Manager shall prepare a list of all
Proposed Eligible Receivables delineating those Proposed Eligible Receivables
that the Purchaser will purchase on the Transfer Date (a "PURCHASED
<PAGE>
BATCH", and together with the remaining Proposed Eligible Receivables and all
other Receivables that are not Eligible Receivables that will not be purchased
and instead will be contributed to the Purchaser, the "TRANSFERRED BATCH"),
together with an explanation stating that the identified Proposed Eligible
Receivables not included in the Purchased Batch are not Eligible Receivables and
the basis therefor.
SECTION 1.03 The Transfers. (a) On each Transfer Date, (i) subject to
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, the
Purchaser shall pay to the Primary Servicer for the benefit of the Providers an
amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Purchased Batch, and (ii) each
Provider will contribute to the capital of the Purchaser all other Receivables
in the Transferred Batch. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made therefor
by means of any one or a combination of the following: (a) a deposit in same day
funds to the Primary Servicer Account and (b) an increase in the Deferred
Purchase Price (subject at all times to the limitations contained in the
definition thereof). The Primary Servicer shall remit the proceeds of the
Purchase Price of the Purchased Batch to the applicable Provider in accordance
with their respective interests.
(b) Effective on each Transfer Date, in consideration of the Purchase
Price, increased capital accounts with the Purchaser, and other good and
valuable consideration, each Provider hereby sells, contributes, assigns and
conveys to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby purchases and accepts, as
absolute owner, all right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Batch
purchased or contributed on such Transfer Date.
SECTION 1.04 Collection and Payment Procedures. (a) Collections on the
Transferred Batch. With respect to each Transferred Batch, the Purchaser shall
be entitled to: (i) receive all Collections on such Transferred Batch and (ii)
have and exercise any and all rights (x) to collect, record, track and, during
the continuance of an Event of Termination or a Servicer Termination Event, take
all actions to obtain Collections with respect to each Batch Receivable payable
by Persons other than Governmental Entities, and (y) to the extent permitted by
law and in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and regulations, to
record, track and, during the continuance of an Event of Termination or a
Servicer Termination Event, take all actions to obtain Collections with respect
to each Batch Receivable payable by Governmental Entities.
(b) Distributions on Each Settlement Date. On each Settlement Date and
with respect to each Transferred Batch, Total Collections shall be distributed
to the Purchaser.
(c) Payment of Deferred Purchase Price. On each Settlement Date, the
Purchaser shall pay to the Primary Servicer accrued interest on the Deferred
Purchase Price and the Purchaser may, at its option, prepay in whole or in part
the principal amount of the Deferred Purchase Price; provided that no such
payment shall be made at any time when an Event of Termination is continuing or
would result from such payment. At such time following the Facility Termination
Date when all principal, interest, fees, expenses, costs and all other
obligations and amounts owed by the Purchaser under the Loan Agreement shall
have been paid in full, the Purchaser shall apply, on each Settlement Date,
Total Collections received by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.04(b) (and not
previously distributed) first to the repayment of accrued interest on the
Deferred Purchase Price, and then to the reduction of the principal amount of
the Deferred Purchase Price. All payments by the Purchaser under this Section
1.04(c) shall be made by a deposit in same day funds
2
<PAGE>
to the Primary Servicer Account, and the Primary Servicer shall remit the
amounts so received, on a pro rata basis, to the applicable Providers.
SECTION 1.05 Allocation of Servicer Responsibilities. (a) Tracking of
purchases, Collections and other transactions pertaining to each Transferred
Batch shall be administered by the Master Servicer in a manner consistent with
the terms of this Agreement. The responsibilities of the Providers and the
Primary Servicer to the Master Servicer have been set forth in Exhibit X
attached hereto. Each Provider shall cooperate fully with the Primary Servicer
and the Master Servicer in establishing and maintaining the Transmission of the
Receivable Information, including, without limitation, the matters described in
Exhibit X, and shall provide promptly to the Master Servicer such other
information necessary or desirable for the administration of Collections on the
Batch Receivables as may be reasonably requested from time to time.
(b) The Purchaser hereby appoints each Provider as its agent for the
administration and servicing obligations set forth in Exhibit VIII hereto with
respect to the Accounts transferred by such Provider to the Purchaser hereunder
(the "PRIMARY SERVICER RESPONSIBILITIES"), and each Provider hereby accepts such
appointment and agrees to perform the Primary Servicer Responsibilities. Each of
the Providers hereby contracts its Primary Servicer Responsibilities to the
Primary Servicer and appoints the Primary Servicer to act as its agent (in such
capacity, the "SERVICER") hereunder, provided, however, that such contracting
and appointment shall not relieve any Provider from any of its duties,
responsibilities, liabilities and obligations resulting or arising hereunder.
The Primary Servicer hereby accepts such appointment as Servicer and agrees to
perform the Primary Servicer Responsibilities on behalf of the Providers. Each
of the Providers, the Servicer and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge that the
Servicer's appointment is subject to and limited by Healthco-4's appointment of
the Purchaser as its agent for performance of the Primary Servicer
Responsibilities under the Loan Agreement and Healthco-4's rights thereunder to
replace the Purchaser (which replacement may be effectuated through the
outplacement to a qualified and experienced third-party of all back office
duties, including billing, collection and processing responsibilities, and
access to all personnel, hardware and software utilized in connection with such
responsibilities). The Purchaser may, at any time following the occurrence of a
Servicer Termination Event (and shall, without requirement of notice to any
party, upon a Servicer Termination Event resulting from the events described in
clauses (g) or (i) of Exhibit V hereto) appoint another Person to succeed the
Servicer as its agent for performance of the Primary Servicer Responsibilities
(which appointment may be effectuated through the outplacement to a qualified
and experienced third-party of all back office duties, including billing,
collection and processing responsibilities, and access to all personnel,
hardware and software utilized in connection with such responsibilities). The
Purchaser may, at any time following the occurrence of one or more Servicer
Termination Events (and may, without requirement of notice to any party, upon
one or more Servicer Termination Events resulting from the events described in
clauses (g) or (i) of Exhibit V hereto) affecting the Providers that have sold
or contributed to the Purchaser more than 20% of the Batch Receivables (whether
or not purchased) in the prior ninety days (or the number of days from the date
of this Agreement to such date, if less than ninety days) (in each case, a
"GROUP-WIDE SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT"), designate the Master Servicer or any
other Person to succeed the Servicer as its agent for performance of the Primary
Servicer Responsibilities.
3
<PAGE>
(c) As compensation for the performance of the Primary Servicer
Responsibilities, the Servicer (or the successor Servicer who performs such
Primary Servicer Responsibilities) shall be entitled to a Primary Servicing Fee
with respect to each Purchased Batch serviced by it; provided that the Primary
Servicing Fee shall be payable solely, to the extent received, from a similar
fee payable by Healthco-4 to the Purchaser, and, to the extent not received, the
Servicer hereby waives its right to receive it.
ARTICLE II
GENERAL PAYMENT MECHANICS; GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
PAYMENT MECHANICS; MISDIRECTED PAYMENTS
SECTION 2.01 General Payment Mechanics. (a) On or prior to the Initial
Transfer Date, each of the Primary Servicer, the Providers, the Purchaser,
Healthco-4, and the Lockbox Bank shall have entered into the Depositary
Agreement and shall have caused the Lockbox Bank to establish the Purchaser
Lockbox and the Purchaser Lockbox Account.
(b) Each Provider shall prepare, execute and deliver to each
non-Governmental Entity who is proposed to be a payor of Receivables, with
copies to the Purchaser, on or prior to the Initial Transfer Date, a Notice to
Obligors addressed to each such non-Governmental Entity, which Notice to
Obligors shall state that all present and future Receivables owing to such
Provider have been and will be transferred to the Purchaser and that all checks
from such non-Governmental Entity on account of Receivables shall be sent to the
Purchaser Lockbox and all wire transfers from such non-Governmental Entity on
account of Receivables shall be wired directly into the Purchaser Lockbox
Account.
(c) Each Provider covenants and agrees that, on and after the Initial
Transfer Date, all invoices (and, if provided by such Provider, return
envelopes) to be sent to non-Governmental Entities shall set forth only the
address of the Purchaser Lockbox as a return address for payment of Receivables,
and only the Purchaser Lockbox Account with respect to wire transfers for
payment of Receivables. Each Provider hereby further covenants and agrees to
instruct and notify each of the members of its accounting and collections staff
to provide identical information in communications with non-Governmental
Entities with respect to Collections.
SECTION 2.02 Governmental Entities Payment Mechanics. (a) On or prior
to the Initial Transfer Date, each of the Primary Servicer, the Providers, the
Purchaser, Healthco-4, and the Lockbox Bank shall have entered into the
Depositary Agreement, and the Providers shall have caused the Lockbox Bank to
establish the Provider Lockbox and the Provider Lockbox Account. Each Provider
shall prepare, execute and deliver to each Governmental Entity or its fiscal
intermediary who is proposed to be an Obligor of Receivables, with copies to the
Purchaser, on or prior to the Initial Transfer Date, Notices to Governmental
Entities, which Notices to Governmental Entities shall provide that all checks
from Governmental Entities on account of Receivables shall be sent to the
Provider Lockbox and all wire transfers on account of Receivables shall be wired
directly into the Provider Lockbox Account.
4
<PAGE>
(b) Each Provider covenants and agrees that, on and after the Initial
Transfer Date, all invoices to be sent to Governmental Entities (and, if
provided by such Provider, return envelopes) shall set forth only the address of
the Provider Lockbox as a return address for payment of Receivables, and only
the Provider Lockbox Account with respect to wire transfers for payment of
Receivables. Each Provider further covenants and agrees to instruct and notify
each of the members of its accounting and collections staff to provide identical
information in communications with Governmental Entities with respect to
Collections.
(c) The Providers shall maintain the Provider Lockbox Account
exclusively for the receipt of payments on account of Receivables from
Governmental Entities. The Providers and the Primary Servicer shall take all
actions necessary to ensure that no payments from any Person other than a
Governmental Entity shall be deposited in the Provider Lockbox Account.
SECTION 2.03 Misdirected Payments. (a) In the event that a Provider
receives a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check, such Provider shall
immediately send such Misdirected Payment, in the form received by the Provider,
by overnight delivery service to the appropriate Purchaser Lockbox or Provider
Lockbox, as the case may be, together with the envelope in which such payment
was received. In the event a Provider receives a Misdirected Payment in the form
of cash or wire transfer, such Provider shall immediately wire transfer the
amount of such Misdirected Payment directly to the Purchaser Lockbox Account.
All Misdirected Payments shall be sent promptly upon receipt thereof, and in no
event later than the close of business, on the first Business Day after receipt
thereof.
(b) If a Misdirected Payment in the form of a check is received by the
Purchaser more than seven Business Days after the postmark date on the envelope
enclosing a check from the Obligor (or, if no such envelope is sent to the
Purchaser Lockbox by a Provider, more than seven Business Days after the date of
such check or wire transfer with respect thereto), then the Providers shall pay
interest on such Misdirected Payment to the Purchaser from such seventh
subsequent day to and including the date such check is received in the Purchaser
Lockbox, at a rate equal to the LIBO Rate then in effect under the Loan
Agreement (or the maximum rate legally permitted if less than such rate).
(c) Each Provider hereby agrees and consents to the Purchaser taking
such actions, solely during the continuation of an Event of Termination, as are
reasonably necessary to ensure that future payments from the Obligor of a
Misdirected Payment shall be made in accordance with the Notice previously
delivered to such Obligor, including, without limitation, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, (i) the Purchaser, its assigns or designees, or any member of
the HFG Group executing on a Provider's behalf and delivering to such Obligor a
new Notice, and (ii) the Purchaser, its assigns or designees, or any member of
the HFG Group contacting such Obligor by telephone to confirm the instructions
previously set forth in the Notice to such Obligor. At any time, upon the
Purchaser's request, a Provider shall promptly (and in any event, within two
Business Days from such request) take such similar actions as the Purchaser may
request.
SECTION 2.04 Unidentified Payments; Right of Presumption. If a payment
is received and, after consultation with the Primary Servicer, the Purchaser is
unable to determine the invoice or the Obligor to which it should apply, such
payment shall be applied against the oldest
5
<PAGE>
Purchased Batch as the Purchaser reasonably determines. Each of the Providers
and the Purchaser agrees and consents that, after the occurrence of an Event of
Termination, the HFG Group or its designees or assigns may apply any payment it
receives from an Obligor or any other payor against a Purchased Batch if the HFG
Group is unable in good faith to determine whether such payment relates to a
Purchased Batch.
SECTION 2.05 No Rights of Withdrawal. None of the Providers, the
Primary Servicer nor the Purchaser shall have any rights of direction or
withdrawal with respect to amounts held in the Purchaser Lockbox Account.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS;
EVENTS OF TERMINATION
SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Each Provider
makes, on the Initial Transfer Date and on each subsequent Transfer Date, the
representations and warranties on and as of such dates, and hereby agrees to
perform and observe the covenants, set forth in Exhibits III and IV,
respectively, hereto.
SECTION 3.02 Group-Wide Events of Termination; (a) Events of
Termination. If any Group-Wide Event of Termination shall occur and be
continuing, the Purchaser may, by notice to the Primary Servicer on behalf of
each of the Providers (which notice shall be deemed to have been given to each
Provider), take either or both of the following actions: (x) declare the
Facility Termination Date to have occurred (except with respect to the
Group-Wide Event of Termination in clause (g) of Exhibit V, in which case the
Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically and
without notice), and (y) without limiting any rights hereunder, terminate the
appointment of the Providers and the Primary Servicer to perform any or all of
the Primary Servicer Responsibilities and replace the Servicer in the manner set
forth in Section 1.05(b). Upon any such declaration or designation, the
Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have
under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided after default under
the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be
cumulative.
(b) If an Event of Termination shall occur and be continuing, the
Purchaser may terminate the appointment of the Providers and the Primary
Servicer, or any of their agents, to perform any or all of the Primary Servicer
Responsibilities in the manner set forth in Section 1.05(b), and, with respect
to an individual Provider that does not constitute a Group-Wide Event of
Termination, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may require the immediate
removal of such Provider from the program. In such event, such Provider shall
also withdraw as a member of the Purchaser; provided, however, that such
Provider's capital account as a member of the Purchaser shall not be paid out
until the date of termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.07
herein.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION;
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
SECTION 4.01 Indemnification and Set-Off Rights for Denied Receivables.
(a) If a breach of any of the representations or warranties contained herein
relating to a Purchased Receivable shall be discovered at any time (each, a
"DENIED RECEIVABLE"), the Primary Servicer or the Providers shall, on the next
Settlement Date, repurchase such Denied Receivable from the Purchaser at the
Repurchase Price.
(b) For ease of administration, the Purchaser shall be entitled to
presume that the failure of any Purchased Receivable (or portion thereof) to be
paid in full on or after the 180th day following the Invoice Date thereof is the
result of a breach of a representation or warranty contained herein with respect
to such Purchased Receivable, unless the Purchaser shall have actual knowledge
to the contrary (such as, by way of example, actual knowledge of the financial
inability of an Obligor to pay its obligations represented by a Receivable). In
the event the Purchaser receives the Repurchase Price for any such Purchased
Receivable and it is thereafter determined that the failure of such Purchased
Receivable to be paid in full was not the result of a breach of representation
or warranty contained herein, the parties hereto shall make an appropriate
adjustment by increasing the Purchase Price of any Purchased Batch to be
purchased on or after such date.
(c) Upon receipt by (or on behalf of) the Purchaser of the Repurchase
Price with respect to any Denied Receivable, the Purchaser shall be deemed to
have reassigned and resold to the applicable Provider such Denied Receivable
without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, and, thereafter,
neither the Purchaser nor any member of the HFG Group shall have any further
servicing or other obligation to such Provider with respect to such Denied
Receivable.
(d) From time to time at the request of a Provider, the Purchaser shall
deliver to such Provider (at such Provider's sole cost and expense) such
documents, assignments, releases, notices and instruments of termination as such
Provider may reasonably request to evidence the reconveyance by the Purchaser of
a Denied Receivable pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01(c).
SECTION 4.02 Indemnities by the Provider. Without limiting any other
rights that the Purchaser, the Program Manager, the Master Servicer or any of
their respective Affiliates (together with their respective directors, officers,
agents, representatives, shareholders, lenders, counsel and employees, each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY") may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Provider
hereby agrees jointly and severally to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and
against any and all claims, losses and liabilities actually incurred (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) (all of the foregoing being
collectively referred to as "INDEMNIFIED AMOUNTS") arising out of or resulting
from any of the following:
(a) the sale of any Receivable which purports to be part of a
Purchased Batch but which is not, at the date of such sale, an
Eligible Receivable;
7
<PAGE>
(b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any
Provider (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this
Agreement which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when
made;
(c) the failure by any Provider or any Batch Receivable to comply
with any applicable law, rule or regulation;
(d) the failure to vest in the Purchaser a perfected ownership
interest in each Receivable included in a Transferred Batch and the
Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any Liens except for
Permitted Liens;
(e) any dispute, claim, set-off or defense to the payment, in
whole or in part, of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a
defense based on such Receivable not being a legal, valid and binding
obligation) or any other claim resulting from the services or
merchandise related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to
furnish such services or merchandise or relating to collection
activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection
activities were performed by any Provider or any of its Affiliates
acting as Servicer), provided, however, this clause (e) shall not be
deemed to include any dispute, claim, set-off or defense to the
payment of any Receivable (i) arising out of the financial inability
of an Obligor to pay its obligations represented by such Receivable
including, without limitation, a discharge in bankruptcy, or (ii)
arising principally and directly as a result of actions taken by any
member of the HFG Group;
(f) a failure of any Provider, including, without limitation, the
Servicer's actions on behalf of the Providers under Section 1.05(b) of
this Agreement with respect to Primary Servicer Responsibilities, to
perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions
hereof or to perform its duties or obligations hereunder; or
(g) the commingling by any Provider of Collections at any time
with other funds of such or any other Provider,
provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing
indemnification of any claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or which
constitute recourse for an uncollectible Purchased Receivable.
Such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Primary Servicer, on
behalf of the Providers, of such claim, provided that the failure to so notify
shall not affect or invalidate the indemnity granted pursuant to this Section
4.02.
SECTION 4.03 Right of Set-Off. Unless a Provider notifies the Purchaser
in writing that it desires to pay on the date when due the Repurchase Price
under Section 4.01 or any Indemnified Amounts under Section 4.02 and such
Provider makes such payment to the Purchaser in immediately available funds on
such date, each such Provider hereby irrevocably instructs the Purchaser to
set-off the full amount of the Repurchase Price or the Indemnified Amounts, as
the case may be, against the Purchase Price of any Purchased Batch to be
purchased on or after such date. No further notification, act or consent of any
nature whatsoever is required prior to the right of the
8
<PAGE>
Purchaser to exercise such right of set-off, provided, however, that so long as
no Event of Termination is continuing, the Purchaser will not set-off any
Repurchase Price or any Indemnified Amounts that are being contested in good
faith by a Provider; provided, further, that the Purchaser or a member of the
HFG Group shall notify the Primary Servicer on behalf of such Provider that a
set-off pursuant to this Section 4.03 occurred, the amount of such set-off and a
description of the Denied Receivable or Indemnified Amounts, as the case may be,
so long as the failure to so notify shall not affect or invalidate the indemnity
granted pursuant to Section 4.02. The Purchaser shall exercise its right to
set-off hereunder to the extent funds are available prior to making a demand for
indemnification under Section 4.02.
SECTION 4.04 Grant of Security Interest. (a) As collateral security for
the Providers' existing and future (i) obligations to repurchase Denied
Receivables under Section 4.01 hereof, (ii) indemnification obligations to the
Purchaser under Section 4.02 hereof, and (iii) obligations to pay costs,
expenses and fees under Section 5.05 hereof, each Provider hereby grants to the
Purchaser a first priority lien on and security interest in, and right of
set-off against, (x) all of the Accounts now or hereafter owned or held by such
Provider, (y) all proceeds thereof and (z) any and all cash collateral reserve
accounts established pursuant to this Agreement from time to time.
(b) In connection with the grant under (a) above, this Agreement shall
be deemed to be a security agreement as understood under the UCC. Each Provider
agrees to execute, and hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file, one or more
financing statements or continuation statements or amendments thereto or
assignments thereof in respect of the lien created pursuant to this Section 4.04
which may at any time be required or, in the opinion of the Purchaser, be
desirable, and to do so without the signature of such Provider where permitted
by law.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 5.01 Amendments, etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom by a party
hereto shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Primary Servicer, the
Providers, the Purchaser, and Healthco-4 as assignee of all of the Purchaser's
rights and remedies hereunder, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given. No failure on the part of the Purchaser, the Primary Servicer or a
Provider to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right.
(b) The parties hereto agree to make any change, modification or
amendment to this Agreement as may be requested by Duff & Phelps Credit Rating
Co. or any other rating agency then rating the receivables finance program of
Healthco-4, so long as any such change, modification or amendment does not
materially adversely affect the parties hereto.

grant) (in addition to and not in substitution of the grant under Section 4.04
herein) to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in and to any and
all present and future Batch Receivables and the proceeds thereof to secure the
repayment of all amounts paid to the Providers hereunder with accrued interest

at its option exercise from time to time any and all rights and remedies
available to it under the UCC or otherwise. Each Provider agrees that ten days

Servicer on behalf of such Provider of the date of any public or private sale or
other disposition of all or any of the Batch Receivables.

shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any
such senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
SECTION 5.12 Attorney-in-Fact. Each Provider hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Purchaser, the Primary Servicer, the Master Servicer
and each Person in the HFG Group, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
regulation, as such Provider's attorneys-in-fact, which irrevocable power of
attorney is coupled with an interest, with authority to (i) endorse or sign such
Provider's name to financing statements, remittances, invoices, assignments,

for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof) fail or cease to create

Property) shall occur; or the Parent, a Provider or any of its Subsidiaries

EXHIBIT VIII
PRIMARY SERVICER RESPONSIBILITIES
Each Provider shall be responsible for the following administration and
servicing obligations (the "PRIMARY SERVICER RESPONSIBILITIES") which shall be
performed by the Primary Servicer on behalf of the Providers until such time as
a successor servicer shall be designated and shall accept appointment pursuant
to Section 1.05(b) of the Agreement:
(a) Servicing Standards and Activities. Each provider and the Primary
Servicer agree to administer and service the Batch Receivables sold or
contributed by the Providers in each Transferred Batch (i) to the extent
consistent with the standards set forth in clauses (b)(i) through (iv) below,
with the same care that it exercises in administering and servicing similar
receivables for its own account, (ii) within the parameters of services set
forth in paragraph (b) of this Exhibit VIII, as such parameters may be modified
by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser and the Primary Servicer, (iii) in
compliance at all times with applicable law and with the agreements, covenants,
objectives, policies and procedures set forth in the Agreement, and (iv) in
accordance with industry standards for servicing healthcare receivables unless
such standards conflict with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this
Exhibit VIII in which case the provisions of paragraph (b) shall control. The
Primary Servicer shall establish and maintain electronic data processing
services for monitoring, administering and collecting the Batch Receivables in
accordance with the foregoing standards and shall, within three Business Days of
the deposit of any checks, other forms of cash deposits, or other written matter
into a Lockbox, post such information to its electronic data processing
services.
(b) Parameters of Primary Servicing. The Primary Servicer
Responsibilities shall be performed within the following parameters:
(i) Subject to the review and authority of the Purchaser and except
as otherwise provided herein, the Primary Servicer shall have
full power and authority to take all actions that it may deem
necessary or desirable, consistent in all material respects with
its existing policies and procedures with respect to the
administration and servicing of accounts receivable, in
connection with the administration and servicing of Batch
Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Primary Servicer shall, in the performance of its servicing
obligations hereunder, act in accordance with all legal
requirements and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement. The Primary Servicer agrees that the Primary Servicing
Fee has been calculated to cover all costs and expenses incurred
in the performance of its servicing obligations hereunder and no
other reimbursement of costs and expenses shall be payable to the
Primary Servicer.
(ii) The Primary Servicer shall not be entitled to sue to enforce or
collect any Batch Receivable without the prior written consent of
the Purchaser unless
VIII-1
<PAGE>
the Primary Servicer shall have repurchased such Batch Receivable in accordance
with the Agreement.
The Primary Servicer shall not change in any material respect its
existing policies and procedures with respect to the
administration and servicing of accounts receivable (including,
without limitation, the amount and timing of write-offs) without
the prior written consent of the Purchaser.
(iii) The Primary Servicer will be responsible for monitoring and
collecting the Batch Receivables, including, without limitation,
contacting Obligors that have not made payment on their
respective Batch Receivables within the customary time period for
such Obligor, and resubmitting any claim rejected by an Obligor
due to incomplete information.
(iv) If the Primary Servicer determines that a payment with respect to
a Batch Receivable has been received directly by a pharmacy or
any other Person, the Primary Servicer shall promptly advise the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to presume that
the reason such payment was made to such pharmacy or other Person
was because of a breach of representation or warranty in the
Agreement with respect to such Batch Receivable (such as, by way
of example, the forms related to such Batch Receivable not being
properly completed so as to provide for direct payment by the
Obligor to the Primary Servicer), unless the Primary Servicer
shall demonstrate that such is not the case. In the case of any
such Batch Receivable which is determined not to be a Denied
Receivable, the Primary Servicer shall promptly demand that such
pharmacy or other Person remit and return such funds. If such
funds are not promptly received by the Provider, the Primary
Servicer shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such funds.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Provider may amend, waive or otherwise permit or agree to any
deviation from the terms or conditions of any Batch Receivable in
any material respect without the prior consent of the Purchaser.
(c) The Primary Servicer shall be responsible, with the Purchaser, for
the determination and application of the Eligibility Criteria and the delivery
and certification of the Borrowing Base Certificate.
(d) Aged Term Servicing. The parties hereby agree that at such time as
any Batch Receivable is unpaid for more than 120 days after the Invoice Date,
the Primary Servicer shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, turn over all of
its Primary Servicer Responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to such
Batch Receivable to a successor servicer selected by the Purchaser, and such
servicer shall thereafter service such Batch Receivable.
VIII-2
<PAGE>
(e) Termination of Primary Servicer Responsibilities; Cooperation. Upon
the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Purchaser may, by written
notice, terminate the performance of the Primary Servicer Responsibilities by
the Primary Servicer, in which event the Primary Servicer shall immediately
transfer to a successor servicer designated by the Purchaser all records,
computer access and other information as shall be necessary or desirable, in the
reasonable judgment of such successor servicer, to perform such
responsibilities. The Primary Servicer shall otherwise cooperate fully with such
successor servicer.
(f) Primary Servicing Fee. Upon the transfer of servicing with respect
to any Purchased Receivable pursuant to this Agreement, the Primary Servicer
shall no longer be paid the Primary Servicing Fee relating to such Purchased
Receivables, and such Primary Servicing Fee will be paid to the successor Person
performing the Primary Servicer Responsibilities with respect thereto.

EXHIBIT XI
SERVICER TERMINATION EVENTS
Each of the following shall be a "SERVICER TERMINATION EVENT":
(a) An event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes an Event
of Termination or that would constitute an Event of Termination but for the
requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both.
(b) The Primary Servicer is not performing in any material respect the
Primary Servicer Responsibilities set forth in Exhibit VIII hereof, or the
Purchaser, in its sole judgement, which judgment shall be commercially
reasonable, is not satisfied with the performance by the Primary Servicer, or
the Providers, of the Primary Servicer Responsibilities with respect to the
Batch Receivables.
(c) The Primary Servicer is unable to maintain the Transmission
interface described in Exhibit X to the satisfaction of the Master Servicer, or
the electronic information servicing capabilities of the Primary Servicer are
not functioning for a period of more than three consecutive Business Days for
any reason other than force majeure.
(d) The Primary Servicer has sent multiple Transmissions to the Master
Servicer in a manner that is not in compliance with the specifications set forth
in Exhibit X hereof.
IX-1
<PAGE>
EXHIBIT X
INTERFACE BETWEEN MASTER SERVICER AND THE PRIMARY SERVICER
1. The Master Servicer will convey appropriate data requirements and
instructions to the Primary Servicer to establish a computer interface
between the Primary Servicer's systems and the Master Servicer's
receivables monitoring system. The interface will permit the Master
Servicer to receive electronically the Primary Servicer's accounts
receivable data, including the Receivable Information, billing data and
collection and other transaction data relating to the Receivables.
2. The Primary Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Purchaser at
least ten Business Days' notice of any coding changes or electronic data
processing system modifications made by the Primary Servicer which could
affect the Master Servicer's processing or interpretation of data received
through the interface.
3. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to return to the Primary
Servicer any information which the Master Servicer receives pursuant to the
computer interface.
4. The Primary Servicer will prepare weekly accounts receivable data files of
all transaction types for all of the Primary Servicer's sites that are
included in the program. The weekly cutoff will occur at a predetermined
time each week, and the weekly cutoff date for all of the sites must occur
at exactly the same time. The cutoff date that will be selected will be at
the end of business for a specific day of the week, or in other words, at
the end of the Primary Servicer's transaction posting process for that day.
The Primary Servicer will temporarily maintain a copy of the accounts data
files in the event that the data is degraded or corrupted during
transmission, and needs to be re-transmitted.
5. The Master Servicer will be responsible for the management of the hardware,
communications and software used in the program.
6. The Master Servicer's data center will receive the Receivable files, and
immediately confirm that the files have been passed without degradation or
corruption of data by balancing the detailed items to the control totals
that accompany the files. Any problems in this process will be immediately
reported to the Primary Servicer so that the Receivable file can be
re-transmitted, if necessary.
7. Once the receipt of the Receivable data has been confirmed, the Master
Servicer will perform certain tests and edits to ensure that each
Receivable meets the specified eligibility criteria for purchase by the
Purchaser. Compliance with concentration limits will be verified and the
Master Servicer will notify the Program Manager that the Eligible
Receivables have been determined. Upon the successful completion of a
purchase, the Master Servicer will generate a one-line trial balance
(listing all purchased accounts) confirming the Receivables that have been
X-1
<PAGE>
purchased. A copy of the trial balance will be forwarded to each Provider,
to the Primary Servicer, to the Purchaser, and to the Program Manager to
confirm the purchase.
8. The Primary Servicer's sites will continue to post daily transactions to
their respective Receivable files. The Primary Servicer's Receivable files
for each of the eligible sites will include all transactions posted through
that day. The Primary Servicer will create a transaction report and a
Receivable file for each of the eligible sites. The transaction report will
contain all transactions posted to the respective site Receivable file for
the specified period (and will indicate the respective site and the number
of items and total dollars on each transaction report for control
purposes). The Receivable file will contain balances that reflect the
transactions posted on the Primary Servicer's systems through the end of
business of the specified period.
9. The Primary Servicer will transmit the billing, transaction, and the most
current Receivable data files to the Master Servicer's data center
according to the established schedule. The Providers and the Primary
Servicer should, again, maintain the backup of each of these files in the
event that a re-transmission is necessary.
10. The Master Servicer's data center will confirm that the files have been
received intact, and will immediately communicate any problems to the
Primary Servicer in order to initiate a re-transmission. The Master
Servicer will then post the transaction files to the accounts receivable
for the previously purchased accounts that the Master Servicer is
maintaining, and consequently update the affected balances. Upon completion
of the posting process, the Master Servicer will generate summary reports
of the posting process that the Program Manager will use to complete
various funding activities. The Master Servicer summary reports will
reference the Primary Servicer's transaction codes and activity to codes
that are common to the funding program.
11. The Master Servicer will then compare the updated accounts balances on the
Master Servicer's system to the corresponding account balances reflected on
the Receivable file. The Master Servicer expects that the balances for the
funded Receivables will be congruent, and any discrepancies will be
immediately examined and resolved through the cooperative effort of the
Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer. The Master Servicer shall produce
discrepancy reports (e.g., "Funding Only" or "Out of Balance" reports) and
the Primary Servicer shall respond promptly to such reports.
12. Once the reconciliation process has been completed and any discrepancies
between the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer's Receivable files
resolved through the discrepancy report process described in paragraph 9
above, the Master Servicer will then process the Receivable file and advise
the Purchaser that it may purchase any new Receivable that is eligible. The
Master Servicer will then proceed through exactly the same process
described in paragraph 6 above.
