------
other Person which may from time to time become a party hereto as an Originator
pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof, each an "Originator" and collectively, the

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"),
----------------------- ------

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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
(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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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
<PAGE>
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. Such Originator is a corporation
----------------------------
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
state of incorporation, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all

of the Purchase made hereunder, are within its corporate powers and authority
and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part.
This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a
party has been duly executed and delivered by such Originator.
(c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Originator of

agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction
or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the
creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of such Originator or its

such Originator.

any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially
misleading.

------------------------------------------------------------
Each Originator will comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules,
regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which
it may be subject which, if violated, would have a Material Adverse Effect.
Each Originator will preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights,

describing the Purchaser Interests under the Purchase Agreement and
(B) upon the request of Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing
Agent, as Buyer's assignee), (x) mark each Contract with a legend
describing Buyer's ownership interests in the Receivables and further
describing the Purchaser Interests of the Managing Agents (on behalf
of the Purchasers) and (y) deliver to Buyer (or the Collateral Agent,

(f) Compliance with Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Each
----------------------------------------------------------
Originator will timely and fully (i) perform and comply with all provisions,
covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts
related to the Receivables, and (ii) comply in all respects with its Credit and
Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related Contract.

--------
(h) Ownership. Each Originator will, at its expense, take all
---------
necessary action to establish and maintain, irrevocably in Buyer, legal and
equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections,
free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of Buyer
(and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees)
(including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other
---------- ------------------
similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law)
of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer's interest in such
Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the interest of Buyer (and the Collateral Agent
and each Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) as Buyer (or the Collateral Agent
or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) may reasonably request).
(i) Purchasers' Reliance. Each Originator acknowledges that the
--------------------
Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement in reliance upon Buyer's identity as a legal entity that is separate
from each Originator and any Affiliates thereof. Therefore, from and after the
date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Originator will take all
reasonable steps including, without limitation, all steps that Buyer (or the
Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) may from time to
time reasonably request, to maintain Buyer's identity as a separate legal entity
and to make it manifest to third parties that Buyer is an entity with assets and
liabilities distinct from those of any Originator and any Affiliates thereof and
not just a division of any Originator. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, each
Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts
of Buyer nor purport to own the Receivables and other assets acquired by Buyer,
(ii) will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that Buyer is
at all times in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the
--------------
Purchase Agreement and (iii) will cause all tax liabilities arising in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise to be
allocated between such Originator and Buyer on an arm's-length basis and in a
manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations
(S)(S)1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-1.
(j) Collections. Each Originator will cause (1) all proceeds from
-----------
all Lock-
19
<PAGE>
Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account
and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a
Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect; provided,
--------
however, that with respect to each Collection Account existing on the date of
-------
this Agreement and not subject to an Existing Collection Account Agreement, such
Collection Account need not be subject to a Collection Account Agreement until
the date 90 days after the date of this Agreement; and, provided further, that
-------- -------
with respect to each Existing Collection Account Agreement, such agreement shall
have been assigned to the Collateral Agent on or prior to the date hereof (in
the case of each Existing Collection Account Agreement with Bank of America,
National Association or Bank One, NA), or shall be replaced by a new Collection
Account Agreement on or prior to the date thirty (30) days after the date of
this Agreement, and in the case of each Collection Account Agreement assigned to
the Collateral Agent on or before the date of this Agreement, shall be replaced
by a new Collection Account Agreement on or prior to the date 90 days after the
date of this Agreement. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are
remitted directly to an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, such
Originator will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted by any
such Affiliate) directly to a Collection Bank for deposit into a Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof and, at all times
prior to such remittance, such Originator will itself hold or, if applicable,
will cause such payments to be held by any such Affiliate, in trust for the
exclusive benefit of Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent, as
Buyer's assignees, for the benefit of the Purchasers). Each Originator will
transfer exclusive ownership, dominion and control of its respective Lock-Box
and Collection Account to Buyer and, will not grant the right to take dominion
and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the
occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to Buyer (or the Collateral
Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) as contemplated by this
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. Only Collections of Receivables shall be
deposited into the Collection Accounts.
(k) Taxes. Each Originator will file all tax returns and reports
-----
required by law to be filed by it and promptly pay all material taxes and
governmental charges (including any governmental charges the nonpayment of which
could result in a Lien on the Receivables or the Related Security) at any time
owing; provided, however, that no Originator shall be required to pay any such
-------- -------
taxes or governmental charges which are not yet delinquent or are being
diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which
adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books
unless the failure to make any such payment (1) shall give rise to an immediate
right to foreclose on an Adverse Claim securing such amounts, (2) shall result
in the attachment of an Adverse Claim securing such amounts in excess of
$1,000,000 in the aggregate, or (3) could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originators. Until the date on
---------------------------------
which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms and all obligations
or such Originator
20
<PAGE>

thereof and (ii) delivered to Buyer (and to the Collateral Agent and each

Agent, as Buyer's assignees) shall have received, at least ten (10) days before
the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition,
termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank
or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement
with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that

an Originator may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if
such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing
Collection Account.
(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Such Originator will not make any change to its Credit and Collection Policy
that could materially and adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables
or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables, without the
prior written consent of Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each Managing
Agent, as Buyer's assignees). Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as
Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, O&M Medical will
------------
not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any
Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the related Originator's
Credit and Collection Policy.

------------
operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including,

any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any
Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection
Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than,
in each case, (1) the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer
provided for herein or (2) an Adverse Claim resulting from the nonpayment of
taxes which is permitted to exist under Section 4.1(k)), and such Originator
--------------
shall
21
<PAGE>
defend the right, title and interest of Buyer (and the Collateral Agent and each
Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignees) in, to and under any of the foregoing
property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such
Originator. Such Originator shall not create or suffer to exist any mortgage,
pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar
arrangement on any inventory the sale or lease of which would give rise to a
Receivable.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Accounting for Purchase. Such Originator will not, and will not
-----------------------
permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial statements
or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the
sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by such Originator to Buyer or
in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby
in any manner other than as a sale of the Receivables and the Related Security
by such Originator to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not
recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(g) Merger. No Originator shall merge or consolidate with or into,
------
or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction
or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all

however, that any Originator may merge with or into (i) any other Originator or

obligations of such Originator hereunder and the Parent confirms that the

such surviving entity as Originator.

be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a

--------

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 Indemnities by Originators. (a) Without limiting any
--------------------------
other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, each
Originator, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, the
Collateral Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser, as Buyer's assignees,
and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an
"Indemnified Party") from and against any and all damages, losses, claims,
-----------------
taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including
reasonable attorneys' fees (which attorneys may be employees of Buyer) and
disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
"Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of
--------------------
or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or
indirectly, by Buyer of an interest in the Receivables, excluding, however:
(i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;
(ii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in
respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related
Obligor; or
(iii) any Excluded Taxes;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
--------- --------
liability of any Originator or limit the recourse of Buyer to any Originator for
amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Originator under the
terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, each
Originator shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Buyer for Indemnified Amounts
(including, without
24
<PAGE>
limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of
whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to such Originator)
relating to or resulting from:
(i) any representation or warranty made by such Originator (or any
officers of such Originator) under or in connection with this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or
report delivered by such Originator pursuant hereto or thereto, which
shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;
(ii) the failure by such Originator, to comply with any applicable
law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract
related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract
included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or
any failure of such Originator to keep or perform any of its
obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;
(iii) any failure of such Originator to perform its duties, covenants
or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
(iv) any products liability or similar claim arising out of or in
connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the
subject of any Contract;
(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in
bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any
Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such
Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale
of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the
furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;
(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with
other funds;
(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or
arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the
Purchase, the ownership of the Receivables or any other investigation,
litigation or proceeding relating to such Originator in which any
Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby;
(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in
respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune
from civil and commercial
25
<PAGE>
law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal
action, suit or proceeding;
(ix) any Amortization Event described in Section 5.1(d);
--------------
(x) [Reserved];
(xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, or to
transfer to Buyer, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the
Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear
of any Adverse Claim;
(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of
any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to
any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of the
Purchase or at any subsequent time;
(xiii) any action or omission by such Originator which reduces or
impairs the rights of Buyer with respect to any Receivable or the
value of any such Receivable; and
(xiv) any attempt by any Person (other than a Purchaser) to void the
Purchase hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or
equitable action.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
solely for the purposes of determining Indemnified Amounts owing under this
Section 6.1, any representation, warranty or covenant qualified by materiality
-----------
or the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect shall not be so qualified.
(c) Taxes. (i) Any and all payments made hereunder to an
Indemnified Party shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding: (A) franchise
---------
taxes, excise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by all or part of the gross
or net income (but not including any such tax in the nature of a withholding
tax) of such Indemnified Party, in each case, by the jurisdiction under the laws
of which such Indemnified Party is organized or has its applicable lending
office or any political subdivision of any thereof, to the extent that the
imposition of such taxes is consistent with the Intended Characterization of the
Purchaser Interests for income tax purposes, and (B) taxes that would not have
been imposed if the only connection between such Indemnified Party and the
jurisdiction imposing such taxes was the activities of such Indemnified Party
pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement (including entering into, lending
money or extending credit pursuant to, receiving payments under, or enforcing
this Agreement) (all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
26
<PAGE>
deductions, changes, withholding and liabilities collectively or individually
referred to herein as Excluded Taxes" and all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
--------------
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities collectively or
individually referred to herein as "Taxes"). If any Originator shall be required
-----
to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Indemnified Party: (A) the sum payable shall be increased by
the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required
-----------------
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 6.1(c)) such Indemnified Party shall receive an amount equal to
--------------
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such
Originator shall make such deductions and (C) such Originator shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(ii) In addition, each Originator agrees to pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law all taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, assessments or fees of any kind (including but not
limited to any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise
or property taxes, charges, or similar levies, but excluding any Excluded Taxes)
imposed upon any Indemnified Party as a result of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the
execution, delivery, or registration of or otherwise similarly with respect to,
this Agreement ("Other Taxes").
-----------
(iii) Each Originator agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from
and against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes arising out of this
Agreement (whether directly or indirectly) imposed upon or paid by such Person
and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses)) arising with respect thereto, whether or not such
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed upon such
Person on account of the Intended Characterization not being respected by a
relevant Government Authority). 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. A written demand will be considered
"timely" for purposes of the preceding sentence only if it is received by such
Originator no later than 180 days after the earlier of (A) the date on which
such Indemnified Party makes such payment of Taxes or Other Taxes or liability
arising therefrom or with respect thereto and (B) the date on which the relevant
Governmental Authority or other party makes written demand upon such Indemnified
Party for payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes or liability arising therefrom or
with respect thereto.
(iv) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes by an Originator to a Governmental Authority hereunder, such
Originator will deliver to
27
<PAGE>
the relevant Indemnified Party the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.
(v) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section
-------
6.1(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
------
(vi) Each Purchaser and each Participant that is granted a
participating interest in the Purchaser Interests and that is organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof, or
the District of Columbia (each a "Non-U.S. Purchaser") shall deliver to Buyer or
------------------
the Collateral Agent: (A) two copies of either United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (whichever is applicable and including any
successor forms thereto), or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Purchaser claiming an
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(b) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a form W-8BEN (or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) and a certificate
representing that such Non-U.S. Purchaser is not a bank for purposes of Section
881(c) of the Code, in either case properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Purchaser claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax
on payments by the Originators under this Agreement. 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"). In addition,
------------------
each Non-U.S. Purchaser shall deliver such forms promptly after (or, if
reasonably practicable, prior to) the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 6.1(c)(vi), a Non-U.S. Purchaser shall not be required
------------------
to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.1(c)(vi) that such Non-U.S.
------------------
Purchaser is not legally able to deliver. Each Purchaser or Participant (other
than any exempt person as described in applicable Treasury Regulations) that is
organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the
District of Columbia shall deliver to Buyer an original copy of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) properly completed and duly
executed by such Purchaser or Participant.
(vii) No Originator shall be required to indemnify any Non-U.S.
Purchaser, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Purchaser, in
respect of United States Federal withholding tax (or any withholding tax imposed
by a state that applies only when such United States federal withholding tax is
imposed) pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) to the extent that: (A) the obligation
--------------
to withhold amounts with respect to United States federal withholding tax
existed on the date such Non-U.S. Purchaser became a party to the Purchase
Agreement or was granted a participating interest in the Purchaser Interests, as
applicable, or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such
Non-U.S. Purchaser designated such New Lending Office;
28
<PAGE>
provided, however, that this clause (A) shall not apply to any Non-U.S.
-------- -------
Purchaser or New Lending Office that is granted, assigned, or transferred a
participating interest in the Purchaser Interests at the request of Buyer and
provided further, however, that this clause (A) shall not apply to any Non-U.S.
Purchaser or New Lending Office that is assigned an interest in the Purchaser
Interests by a Purchaser to the extent that the indemnity payment or additional
amounts such Non-U.S. Purchaser or New Lending Office would be entitled to
receive (without regard to this clause (A)) do not exceed the indemnity payment
or additional amounts that the Purchaser making the assignment to such Non-U.S.
Purchaser or New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the
absence of such assignment; or (B) the obligation to make such indemnification
or to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by
such Non-U.S. Purchaser to comply with the provisions of paragraph (vi) above
(it being understood that the Non-U.S. Purchaser shall not have failed to comply
with the provisions of paragraph (vi) above if it is legally unable to deliver
the forms described therein on any date after it is granted a participation
interest in Purchaser Interests or designated 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.
Section 6.2 Other Costs and Expenses. The Originators shall pay to
------------------------
Buyer on demand all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder. The Originators shall pay to Buyer on demand any and all costs and
expenses of Buyer, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents
delivered hereunder and in connection with any amendment, restructuring or
workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this
Agreement following an Amortization Event.

provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided
by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Transaction Documents and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or
that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to Buyer or its
designee (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee,

30
<PAGE>
(b) If any Originator fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's
assignee) may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of,
such obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (or the Collateral
Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee) in connection therewith shall
be payable by such Originator as provided in Section 6.2. Each Originator
-----------
irrevocably authorizes Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as
Buyer's assignee) at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of
Buyer (or the Collateral Agent or any Managing Agent, as Buyer's assignee), and
