PURCHASE AND SETTLEMENTS

Section 2.1. Facility.

Each such Transfer is made without recourse to the Transferor; provided, however, that the Transferor shall be liable for all representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements made by the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each such Transfer shall be made among the Related Groups ratably in accordance with their respective Related Group Limits. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Agent shall accept such conveyance, transfer and assignment on behalf of the Investors. By accepting any conveyance, transfer and assignment hereunder, none of the Investors, the Administrative Agents or the Agent assumes or shall have any obligations or liability under any of the Contracts, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Transferor and the Seller.

Section 2.2. Transfers; Certificates; Eligible Receivables (a) Incremental Transfers. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth the Transferor may, at its option, request that an Incremental Transfer be made by the Agent, on behalf of each of the applicable Investors. It shall be a condition precedent to each Incremental Transfer that (i) after giving effect to the payment to the Transferor of the applicable Transfer Price, (x) the sum of the Net Investment plus the Interest Component of all outstanding Related Commercial Paper, would not exceed the Facility Limit and (y) the Percentage Factor would not exceed the Maximum Percentage Factor and (z) the Net Investment would not exceed the Facility Limit; (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 shall be true and correct both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any such Incremental Transfer and the payment to the Transferor of the Transfer Price related thereto; (iii) an Investor Report shall have been delivered prior to such Incremental Transfer as required by Section 3.2 hereof and (iv) in the case of any Incremental Transfer to be funded by the Bank Investors in any Related Group, either (x) such Bank Investors shall have previously accepted the assignment by the related Conduit Investor of all of its interest in the Affected Assets or (y) such Conduit Investor shall have had an opportunity to direct that such assignment occur on or prior to giving effect to such Incremental Transfer.

The Transferor shall, by notice to the Agent (with a copy to each Administrative Agent) given by telecopy, offer to convey, transfer and assign to the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, undivided percentage ownership

interests in the Receivables and the other Affected Assets relating thereto at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of any Incremental Transfer. Each such notice shall specify, (x) the desired Transfer Price (which shall be at least $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof) or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Facility Limit is less than such amount, such lesser amount equal to such available portion of the Facility Limit, (y) the desired date of such Incremental Transfer and (z) the desired Tranche Period(s) and allocations of the Net Investment of such Incremental Transfer thereto as required by Section 2.3 (it being understood that any request for a Eurodollar Period shall be subject to the approval of each applicable Administrative Agent). Each Administrative Agent will promptly notify the related Conduit Investor or each of the Bank Investors in its Related Group, as the case may be, of such Administrative Agent’s receipt of any request for an Incremental Transfer to be made to the Agent on behalf of such Person. To the extent that any such Incremental Transfer is requested of the Agent, on behalf of a Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor shall instruct the Agent to accept or reject such offer by notice given to the Transferor and the Agent by telephone or telecopy by no later than the close of its business on the Business Day following its receipt of any such request. Each notice of proposed Transfer shall be irrevocable and binding on the Transferor and the Transferor shall indemnify each Investor against any loss or expense incurred by any Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of a Conduit Investor, through the related Liquidity Provider Agreement) as a result of any failure for any reason (including failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent in respect thereof) by the Transferor to complete such Incremental Transfer including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by any Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of a Conduit Investor, pursuant to the related Liquidity Provider Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by any Investor or a related Liquidity Provider (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits as loans from third parties) for any Investor to fund such Incremental Transfer.

The Transferor has previously delivered to the Agent the Transfer Certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Transfer Certificate”). On the date of each Incremental Transfer, each Administrative Agent shall send written confirmation to the Transferor and to the Agent of the Transfer Price, the Tranche Period(s), the Transfer Date and the Tranche Rate(s) applicable to the portion of such Incremental Transfer made by such Administrative Agent’s Related Group. The Agent shall indicate the amount of the Incremental Transfer together with the date thereof as well as any decrease in the Net Investment on the grid attached to the Transfer Certificate. The Transfer Certificate shall evidence the Incremental Transfers.

By no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Transfer Date, each Investor participating in the relevant Transfer shall remit its Ratable Share of the aggregate Transfer Price for such Transfer either (i) to the account of the related Administrative Agent specified therefor from time to time by such Administrative Agent by notice to such Investor or (ii) if so directed by such Administrative Agent, directly to the Transferor. The obligation of each Investor to remit its Ratable Share of any such Transfer Price shall be several from that of each other Investor, and the failure of any Investor to so make such amount available to its related Administrative Agent or the Transferor, as applicable, shall not relieve any other Investor of its obligation hereunder. If the portion of the Transfer Price payable by the Investors in a Related Group is remitted to the related Administrative Agent, then, following each Incremental Transfer and such Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds from the Investors in its Related Group participating in such Transfer as aforesaid, such Administrative Agent shall remit such portion of the Transfer Price to the Transferor’s account at the location indicated in Section 10.3 hereof, in immediately available funds. Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Bank Investor in its Related Group participating in an Incremental Transfer that such Bank Investor will not make its share of any Transfer Price relating to such Incremental Transfer available on the applicable Transfer Date therefor, such Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make such Bank Investor’s share of any such Transfer Price available to the Transferor in anticipation of the receipt by such Administrative Agent of such amount from such Bank Investor. To the extent such Bank Investor fails to remit any such amount to its Administrative Agent after any such advance by such Administrative Agent on such Transfer Date, such Bank Investor, on the one hand, and the Transferor, on the other hand, shall be required to pay such amount, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal funds rate (as determined in accordance with clause (ii) of the definition of “Base Rate”), in the case of such Bank Investor, or the otherwise applicable Tranche Rate, in the case of the Transferor, to such Administrative Agent upon its demand therefor; provided that such Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to recover more than once for such amount or interest thereon. Until such amount shall be repaid, such amount shall be deemed to be Net Investment paid by the applicable Administrative Agent and such Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be the owner of a Transferred Interest hereunder. Upon the payment of such amount to such Administrative Agent (x) by the Transferor, the amount of the aggregate Net Investment shall be reduced by such amount or (y) by such Bank Investor, such payment shall constitute such Bank Investor’s payment of its share of the applicable Transfer Price for such Transfer.

(b) Reinvestment Transfers. On each Business Day occurring after the initial Incremental Transfer hereunder and prior to the Termination Date, the Transferor hereby agrees to convey, transfer and assign to the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, and in consideration of Transferor’s agreement to maintain at all times prior to the Termination Date a Net Receivables Balance in an amount at least sufficient to maintain the Percentage Factor at an amount not greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, the Agent may, on behalf of each Conduit Investor (unless such Conduit Investor has otherwise directed the Agent) and shall, on behalf of each of the Bank Investors, agree to purchase from the Transferor undivided percentage ownership interests in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, to the extent that Collections are available for such Transfer in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, such that after giving effect to such Transfer, (i) the amount of the Net Investment at the close of business on such Business Day shall be equal to the amount of the Net Investment at the close of the business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Business Day plus the Transfer Price of any Incremental Transfer made on such day, if any, and (ii) the Transferred Interest in each Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, shall be equal to the Transferred Interest in each other Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto.

(c) All Transfers. Each Transfer shall constitute a purchase by the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, of undivided percentage ownership interests in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, then existing, as well as in each and every Receivable, together with Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, which arises at any time after the date of such Transfer. The Agent’s aggregate undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables, together with the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto, held on behalf of the Investors, shall equal the Percentage Factor in effect from time to time. The Agent shall hold the Transferred Interests on behalf of the Investors in accordance with each such Investor’s percentage interest in the Transferred Interest (determined on the basis of the relationship that the portion of the Net Investment funded by such Investor bears to the aggregate Net Investment of all Investors at such time).

(d) Certificate. The Transferor has issued to the Agent the Certificate, in the form of Exhibit M. The Certificate remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

(e) Percentage Factor; Transferred Interest. The Percentage Factor shall be computed by the Collection Agent as of the opening of business of the Collection Agent on the effective date of this Agreement. Thereafter until the Termination Date, the Collection Agent shall recompute the Percentage Factor at the time of each Incremental Transfer pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and as of the close of business of the Collection Agent on each Business Day (other than a day after the Termination Date) and report such recomputation to the Agent monthly, in the Investor Report, and at such other times as may be requested by any Administrative Agent. The Percentage Factor shall remain constant from the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if any, shall be made, notwithstanding any additional Receivables arising, any Incremental Transfer made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or any Reinvestment Transfer made pursuant to Sections 2.2(b) and 2.5 during any period between computations of the Percentage Factor. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Transferred Interest” after the Termination Date may be different from the Percentage Factor. As set forth in the definition of “Transferred Interest”, the Transferred Interest shall remain constant at 100% at all times on and after the Termination Date until the date on which the Net Investment has been reduced to zero, and all accrued Discount and Servicing Fees have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full at which time the Transferred Interest shall be reduced to zero in accordance with Section 2.6.

Section 2.3. Selection of Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates.

(a) Prior to the Termination Date; Transferred Interest held on behalf of a Conduit Investor. At all times hereafter, but prior to the Termination Date with respect to any portion of the Net Investment held on behalf of a Conduit Investor that is funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper, such portion of the Net Investment shall be allocated to a CP Tranche Period as set forth in the definition of such term. Each Conduit Investor confirms that it is its intention to allocate all or substantially all of the Net Investment held on behalf of it to CP Tranche Periods, provided that such Conduit Investor or its Related CP Issuer may determine, from time to time, in its sole discretion, that funding such Net Investment through the issuance of Commercial Paper is not possible or is not desirable for any reason. If, prior to the Termination Date, any portion of the Net Investment held on behalf of a Conduit Investor is not funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper, then such portion of the Net Investment shall be allocated to a BR Tranche or a Eurodollar Tranche in accordance with Section 2.3(c) in the same manner as if such portion of the Net Investment was held by or on behalf of the Bank Investors. In the case of any Tranche Period outstanding upon the Termination Date, such Tranche Period shall end on such date unless otherwise directed by the applicable Administrative Agent.

(b) After the Termination Date; Transferred Interest Held on behalf of a Conduit Investor. At all times on and after the Termination Date, with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest which shall be held by the Agent on behalf of a Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor or its Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall select all Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates applicable thereto.

(c) Prior to the Termination Date; Transferred Interest Held on Behalf of Bank Investor. At all times with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by the Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors in any Related Group, but prior to the Termination Date, the initial Tranche Period applicable to such portion of the Net Investment allocable thereto shall be a period of not greater than 7 days and such Tranche shall be a BR Tranche, unless the Transferor has requested and the applicable Administrative Agent has approved a different Tranche Period and Tranche Rate. Thereafter, with respect to such portion, and with respect to any other portion of the Transferred Interest held on behalf of the Bank Investors (or any of them) in any Related Group, provided that the Termination Date shall not have occurred, the Tranche Period applicable thereto shall be a Eurodollar Period and the applicable Tranche shall be a Eurodollar Tranche, unless the Transferor has requested and the applicable Administrative Agent has approved a different Tranche Period and Tranche Rate. The Transferor shall give the Administrative Agent for each Related Group irrevocable notice by telephone of the new requested Tranche Period applicable to the Bank Investors in such Related Group at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any then existing Tranche Period applicable to such Related Group and, if the Transferor shall fail to provide such notice (or, if the requested Tranche Period is less than 7 days or is a Eurodollar Period, the Administrative Agent does not consent to such request), the applicable Administrative Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors in such Related Group may, in its sole discretion, select the new Tranche Period in respect of the applicable Tranche. In the case of any Tranche Period outstanding upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, such Tranche Period shall end on the date of such occurrence.

(d) After the Termination Date; Transferred Interest Held on behalf of Bank Investor. At all times on and after the Termination Date, with respect to any portion of the Transferred Interest held by the Agent on behalf of the Bank Investors in any Related Group, the Administrative Agent for such Related Group shall select all Tranche Periods and Tranche Rates applicable thereto.

(e) Eurodollar Rate Protection; Illegality. (i) If the Administrative Agent for any Related Group is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the LIBOR Rate for any proposed Eurodollar Tranche, then

(A) such Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Investors in such Related Group, as applicable, and the Transferor that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Tranche, and

(B) while such circumstances exist, neither such Administrative Agent nor any of the Investors in such Related Group shall allocate the Net Investment of any additional Transferred Interests purchased during such period or reallocate the Net Investment allocated to any then existing Tranche ending during such period, to a Eurodollar Tranche.

(ii) If, with respect to any outstanding Eurodollar Tranche, any Investor on behalf of which the Agent holds any Transferred Interest therein notifies its Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Transferred Interest or that the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Transferred Interest will not adequately reflect the cost to such Investor of funding or maintaining its respective Transferred Interest for such Tranche Period then such Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Transferor, whereupon neither such Administrative Agent nor the Investors in the Related Group shall, while such circumstances exist, allocate any Net Investment of any additional Transferred Interest purchased during such period or reallocate the Net Investment allocated to any Tranche Period ending during such period, to a Eurodollar Tranche and instead such Transferred Interest shall be purchased as, or such Net Investment shall be allocated to, a BR Tranche (notwithstanding any election made by the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.3(c) or otherwise).

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Investor shall notify its Administrative Agent that such Investor has determined (or has been notified by any Liquidity Provider) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful (either for such Investor or such Liquidity Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Investor or such Liquidity Provider, as applicable, to fund the purchases or maintenance of Transferred Interests at the Eurodollar Rate, then (x) as of the effective date of such notice from such Investor to its Administrative Agent, the obligation or ability of the such Investor to fund its purchase or maintenance of Transferred Interests at the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until such Investor notifies its Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (y) the Net Investment of each Eurodollar

Tranche in which such Investor owns an interest shall either (1) if such Investor may lawfully continue to maintain such Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate until the last day of the applicable Tranche Period, be reallocated on the last day of such Tranche Period to another Tranche Period in respect of which the Net Investment allocated thereto accrues Discount at a Tranche Rate other than the Eurodollar Rate or (2) if such Investor shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Transferred Interest at the Eurodollar Rate until the end of the applicable Tranche Period, such Investor’s share of the Net Investment allocated to such Eurodollar Tranche shall be deemed to accrue Discount at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Tranche Period.

(f) Separate Tranches for Related Groups. In no event shall portions of the Net Investment held by Investors from different Related Groups be allocated to the same Tranche.

Section 2.4. Discount, Fees and Other Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained herein, the Transferor shall pay, as and when due in accordance with this Agreement, all fees hereunder, Discount (including Discount due any Conduit Investor or any Bank Investor), all amounts payable pursuant to Article VIII hereof, if any, and the Servicing Fees. On the last day of each Tranche Period (or, in the case of a CP Tranche Period, by no later than the second Business Day following the last day of such CP Tranche Period), the Transferor shall pay to each Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Investors in its Related Group, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount for such Tranche Period together with, in the event the Transferred Interest is held on behalf of a Conduit Investor, an amount equal to the discount accrued on the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Investor or its Related CP Issuer to the extent such Commercial Paper was issued in order to fund the Transferred Interest in an amount in excess of the Transfer Price of an Incremental Transfer. Discount shall accrue with respect to each Tranche on each day occurring during the Tranche Period related thereto. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit in any way the obligations of the Transferor to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5. Non-Liquidation Settlement and Reinvestment Procedures. On each day after the date of any Incremental Transfer but prior to the Termination Date and provided that no Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall, out of Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously applied or accounted for: (i) set aside and hold in trust for the Agent, on behalf of the applicable Investors (or deposit into the Collection Account if so required pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof), an amount equal to all Discount and the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or paid and (ii) apply the balance of such Collections remaining after application of Collections as provided in clause (i) of this Section 2.5 hereof to the Transferor, for the benefit of the Agent, on behalf of the applicable Investors, to the purchase of additional undivided percentage interests in each Receivable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) hereof. Any Collections so set aside as described in clause (i) above shall be allocated, among the Related Groups ratably in proportion to the accrued Discount and Servicing Fee with respect to the Investors in each such Related Group. On the last day of each Tranche Period applicable to any portion of the Net Investment held by one or more Investors in a Related Group (or, in the case of a CP Tranche Period, by no later than the second Business Day following the last day of such CP Tranche Period), from the amounts set aside as described in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 2.5 hereof that have been allocated to the Investors in such Related Group, the Collection Agent shall deposit to the applicable Administrative Agent’s account, for the benefit of such Investors, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount for such Tranche Period and shall deposit to its own account an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee for such Tranche Period. The applicable Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in such Administrative Agent’s account, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Investors entitled thereto as set forth above; provided that if such Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts ratably (based on the amounts owing to each such Investor) to all such Investors entitled to payment thereof. In addition, the Collection Agent shall remit to the Transferor at the end of each Tranche Period, such portion of Collections not allocated to the Agent, on behalf of the applicable Investors.

Section 2.6. Liquidation Settlement Procedures. (a) If at any time on or prior to the Termination Date, the Percentage Factor is greater than the Maximum Percentage Factor, then the Transferor shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agents for the Related Groups, for the benefit of the applicable Investors in their respective Related Groups, from previously received Collections, an aggregate amount equal to the amount such that, when applied in reduction of the Net Investment, will result in the Percentage Factor being less than or equal to the Maximum Percentage Factor. Such aggregate amount shall be paid to such Administrative Agents ratably in accordance with the portion of the Net Investment held by their respective Related Groups. Any amount so paid to an Administrative Agent for a Related Group shall be applied to the reduction of the Net Investment of Tranche Periods applicable to such Related Group selected by such Administrative Agent.

(b) On the Termination Date and on each day thereafter, and on each day on which a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collection Agent shall deposit into the Collection Account all Collections received on such day. Pending such deposit, the Collection Agent shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Investors.

Transferred Interest or to enable the Agent, the Administrative Agents or the Investors to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Transferor will, and will cause the Seller to, upon the request of the Agent, any Administrative Agent or any of the Investors, in order to accurately reflect this purchase and sale transaction, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof as permitted pursuant to Section 9.7 hereof as may be requested by the Agent, any Administrative Agent or any of the Investors and (y) mark its respective master data processing records and other documents with a legend describing the conveyance to the Transferor of the Receivables (in the case of the Seller) and to the Agent, for the benefit of the Investors, of the Transferred Interest.

In case any authorized signatory of the Transferor whose signature shall appear on the Concentration Account Agreement or any Intermediate Concentration Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of the Concentration Account Notice or Intermediate Concentration Account Notice, as the case may be, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such delivery.

assignment which is valid, binding and enforceable under applicable federal and state Medicare Regulations and Medicaid Regulations; and neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document shall be construed to permit any other Person, in violation of applicable Medicare Regulations or Medicaid Regulations to collect or receive, or to be entitled to collect or receive, any such payments prior to such Originating Entity’s or such agent’s receipt thereof.

The Agent shall have the right to assume exclusive control over the Collection Account.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 6.1. Appointment of Collection Agent. The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Collection Agent”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.1. Until the Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Investors) gives notice to the Transferor of the designation of a new Collection Agent, NMC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a substitute Collection Agent, without the prior written consent of each Administrative Agent; provided that the Collection Agent may from time to time delegate to any Originating Entity such of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder as relate to the servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables originated by such Originating Entity; provided further that (i) any such delegation shall be terminated upon the replacement of the Collection Agent hereunder and (ii) the Collection Agent shall continue to remain solely liable for the performance of the duties as Collection Agent hereunder notwithstanding any such delegation hereunder. The Agent may, and upon the direction of the Majority Investors the Agent shall, after the occurrence of a Collection Agent Default or any other Termination Event designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed NMC or any successor Collection Agent, on the conditions in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and such designation of such Person is permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, applicable CHAMPUS/VA Regulations, Medicaid Regulations and Medicare

Regulations) or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Agent may notify any Obligor as to the ownership interest therein that shall have been transferred to the Transferor and, except as otherwise provided hereunder, as to the Transferred Interest hereunder.

Section 6.2. Duties of Collection Agent.

(a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all CHAMPUS/VA Regulations, Medicaid Regulations and Medicare Regulations), with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the Transferor, the Agent, the Administrative Agents and the Investors hereby appoints as its agent the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Affected Assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Transferor hereby grants to any Collection Agent appointed hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in the Transferor’s and/or any Originating Entity’s name and on behalf of the Transferor necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Collection Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Transferor’s and/or any Originating Entity’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Transferor represents and warrants that the foregoing power of attorney, in the case of any Originating Entity, has been duly granted to the Transferor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Transferor is authorized under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to authorize the Collection Agent hereunder to exercise such power. The Collection Agent shall set aside for the account of the Transferor and the Agent (for the benefit of the Investors) their respective allocable shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.6 hereof. The Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit to each Administrative Agent’s account such Administrative Agent’s allocable share of Collections of Receivables when required pursuant to Article II hereof. So long as no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Collection Agent may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable. The Transferor shall deliver to the Collection Agent and the Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Transferor, and the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records which evidence or relate to Receivables or Related Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Collection Agent (whether the Collection Agent is NMC or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security. The Collection Agent shall not make the Agent, any Administrative Agent or any of the Investors a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person.

(b) The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the Transferor any collections of any indebtedness of any Person which is not on account of a Receivable. If the Collection Agent is not NMC or an Affiliate thereof, the Collection Agent, with the prior written consent of each Administrative Agent, may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee to such other percentage as may be approved in writing by each Administrative Agent, provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed in writing by each Administrative Agent, at any time after the Percentage Factor equals or exceeds 100%, any compensation to the Collection Agent in excess of the Servicing Fee initially provided for herein shall be an obligation of the Transferor and shall not be payable, in whole or in part, from the Collections allocated to or for the benefit of any of the Investors hereunder. The Collection Agent, if other than NMC, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Transferor all Records in its possession which evidence or relate to indebtedness of an Obligor which is not a Receivable.

(c) On or before September 30 of each calendar year, the Collection Agent shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Collection Agent, the Transferor, the Seller or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing), or such other Person as may be approved by each Administrative Agent (any of the foregoing being an “Auditor”), to furnish a report to each Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit T.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, the Collection Agent, if not the Transferor or NMC, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any indebtedness that is not included in the Transferred Interest other than to deliver to the Transferor the collections and documents with respect to any such indebtedness as described in Section 6.2 (b) hereof.

Section 6.3. Right After Designation of New Collection Agent. At any time following the designation of a Collection Agent (other than the Transferor, the Seller or any Affiliate of the Transferor or the Seller) pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof:

(i) The Agent may direct that payment of all amounts payable under any Receivable be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

(ii) The Transferor shall, at the Agent’s request and at the Transferor’s expense, give notice of the Agent’s, the Transferor’s and/or the Bank Investors’ ownership of Receivables to each Obligor and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

(iii) The Transferor shall, at the Agent’s request, (A) assemble all of the Records, and shall make the same available to the Agent or its designee at a place selected by the Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(iv) The Transferor hereby authorizes the Agent to take, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all steps in the Transferor’s or any Originating Entity’s name (which power, in the case of each Originating Entity, the Transferor is authorized to grant pursuant to authority granted to the Transferor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement) and on behalf of the Transferor and such Originating Entity necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Transferor’s or such Originating Entity’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Agent shall not at any time direct, or cause the Transferor or any Originating Entity to direct, Obligors of Receivables or Related Security payable under the Medicare or Medicaid program to make payment of amounts due or to become due to the Transferor or any Originating Entity in respect of such Receivables or Related Security directly to either the Intermediate Concentration Account or the Concentration Account or to the Agent or its designee, except for any such payment in respect of such Receivables or Related Security or any assignment thereof that is established by, or made pursuant to, the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.2. Indemnity for Taxes, Reserves and Expenses. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any Law or bank regulatory guideline or any amendment or change in the interpretation of any existing or future Law or bank regulatory guideline by any Official Body charged with the administration, interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive of any Official Body (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of Law):

(i) shall subject any Indemnified Party to any tax, duty or other charge (other than Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest, the Receivables or payments of amounts due hereunder, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Indemnified Party of amounts payable in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest, the Receivables or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder, under a Liquidity Provider Agreement or the credit support furnished by a Credit Support Provider or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest or the Receivables (except for changes in the rate of general corporate, franchise, net income or other income tax imposed on such Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located);

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the

ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest, the Receivables or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder under a Liquidity Provider Agreement or the credit support provided by a Credit Support Provider or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest or the Receivables; or

(iii) imposes upon any Indemnified Party any other expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing) with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest, the Receivables or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder under a Liquidity Provider Agreement or the credit support furnished by a Credit Support Provider or otherwise in respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interests or the Receivables, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Transferred Interest, the Receivables, the obligations hereunder, the funding of any purchases hereunder, a Liquidity Provider Agreement or a Credit Support Agreement, by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material,

then, within ten (10) days after demand by such Indemnified Party through any Administrative Agent, the Transferor shall pay to such Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such tax, increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy or accounting principles, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Official Body, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (in each case of any bank regulatory guideline or accounting principles, whether or not having the force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or its parent) as a consequence of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto or otherwise as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Indemnified Party through any Administrative Agent, the Transferor shall pay to such Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction. For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section 8.2(b).

(c) Each Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Transferor of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.2. A notice by an Administrative Agent or the applicable Indemnified Party claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Administrative Agent or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

(d) Anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Conduit Investor enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables from one or more Other Transferors, such Conduit Investor shall allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 8.2 which are in connection with a Credit Support Agreement or the credit support provided by the Credit Support Provider (“Section 8.2 Costs”) to the Transferor and each Other Transferor; provided, however, that if such Section 8.2 Costs are attributable to any Parent Group Member and not attributable to any Other Transferor, the Transferor shall be solely liable for such Section 8.2 Costs or if such Section 8.2 Costs are attributable to Other Transferors and not attributable to any Parent Group Member, such Other Transferors shall be solely liable for such Section 8.2 Costs.

(e) If any Indemnified Party in a Related Group makes a claim for payment pursuant to this Section 8.2, then the Transferor may, at its option, remove such Related Group and terminate the Commitments of the Investors in such Related Group by paying to the Administrative Agent for such Related Group an amount (the “Payoff Amount”) equal to the sum of (i) the portion of the Net Investment funded by the Investors in such Related Group, (ii) all Discount accrued and to accrue thereon through the last day of the applicable Yield Period(s) to which such Net Investment has been allocated and (iii) all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to the members of such Related Group under the Transaction Documents accrued through the date of such payment (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.2 accrued through the date of payment). Any such removal and termination shall be made upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice delivered by the Transferor to the applicable Administrative Agent. The Payoff Amount for any Related Group shall be calculated by the

Administrative Agent and notified to the Transferor, which calculation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Upon such removal and termination, (x) the members of such Related Group shall cease to be parties to this Agreement and the Commitments of all Bank Investors in such Related Group shall be reduced to zero and (y) the Facility Limit will be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitments (determined immediately prior to such termination) of the Bank Investors, in such Related Group.

Section 8.3. Taxes. (a) All payments made hereunder by the Transferor or the Collection Agent (each, a “Payor”) to any Investor, any Administrative Agent or the Agent (each, a “Recipient”) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any assignee of such parties) (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”), but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income or gross receipts (“Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the Payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then such Payor shall:

(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to each Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) pay to the Recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Recipient with respect to any payment received by such Recipient hereunder, the Recipient may pay such Taxes and the Payor will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Recipient after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Recipient would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payor shall not be obligated to pay any such additional amounts pursuant to clause (iii) above or pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to a Bank Investor that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Bank Investor shall have failed to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 8.3 as of the time such Taxes are due and payable.

If the Payor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Payor shall indemnify the Recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any Recipient as a result of any such failure.

(b) Each Investor that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall:

(X) (i) on or before the date of any payment by a Payor to such Investor, deliver to such Payor, the Agent and the Administrative Agent for its Related Group (A) two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (B) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax;

(ii) deliver to each Payor, the Agent and the Administrative Agent for its Related Group two (2) further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to such Payor; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by either Payor, the Agent or the Administrative Agent for its Related Group; or

(Y) Each Investor or transferee that is not a “bank” under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code thereof shall:

(i) on or before the date it becomes a party hereto (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date such participant becomes a participant hereunder), deliver to each Payor, the Agent and the Administrative Agent for its Related Group (i) a statement under penalties of perjury that such Investor or transferee (x) is not a “bank” under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not subject to regulatory or other legal requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction, and has not been treated as a bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission made to any governmental authority, any

application made to a rating agency or qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or other legal requirements, (y) is not a 10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 811(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and (z) is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or applicable successor form;

(ii) deliver to each Payor, the Agent and its Administrative Agent two further properly completed and duly executed copies of such Form W-8 expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to such Payor or upon the request of such Payor; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may be reasonably requested by either Payor, the Agent or its Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Person becomes an Investor hereunder which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Investor from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Investor so advises each Payor, the Agent and its Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become an Investor or a participant of an Investor pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a participant of an Investor the obligations of such participant of an Investor pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be determined as if the participant of an Investor were an Investor except that such participant of an Investor shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Investor from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

Section 8.4. Other Costs, Expenses and Related Matters. (a) The Transferor agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to save the Investors, the Administrative Agents and the Agent harmless against liability for the payment of, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, rating agencies’ and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of any of the Investors, the Administrative Agents and/or the Agent) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or on behalf of any Investor, any Administrative Agent or the Agent (i) in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and preparation of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the perfection or protection of the Transferred Interest) and (ii) from time to time (a) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (b) arising in connection with any Investor’s, any Administrative Agent’s, the Agent’s or any Collateral Agent’s enforcement or preservation of rights (including, without limitation, the perfection and protection of the Transferred Interest under this Agreement), or (c) arising in connection with any audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (all of such amounts, collectively, “Transaction Costs”).

(b) With respect to any Tranche to which all or any portion of the Net Investment held by any of the Investors in a Related Group has been allocated, the Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for such Related Group, for the account of each applicable Investor, on demand any Early Collection Fee due on account of the reduction of such Tranche on a day prior to the last day of its Tranche Period (or, in the case of a CP Tranche Period, on or prior to the maturity date for the Commercial Paper allocated to fund or maintain such Net Investment).

Section 8.5. Reconveyance Under Certain Circumstances. The Transferor agrees to accept the reconveyance from the Agent, on behalf of the applicable Investors, of the Transferred Interest if the Agent or any Administrative Agent notifies Transferor of a material breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made pursuant to Article III of this Agreement and Transferor shall fail to cure such breach within 15 days (or, in the case of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1(d) and 3.1(j), 3 days) of such notice. The reconveyance price shall be paid by the Transferor to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Investors, as applicable, in immediately available funds on such 15th day (or 3rd day, if applicable) in an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if such 15th day (or 3rd day) is not a Business Day, such reconveyance and the related payment shall be made on the next following Business Day.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENT; BANK COMMITMENT; THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS

Section 9.1. Authorization and Action. (a) Each Investor hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction

Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Investor hereby appoints the Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that any Investor may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interests transferred or to be transferred from time to time by the Transferor hereunder, or to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove. The Majority Investors may direct the Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Majority Investors; provided, however, the Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Agent, shall be in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose the Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or Potential Termination Event, the Agent shall take no action hereunder (other than ministerial actions or such actions as are specifically provided for herein) without the prior consent of the Majority Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of all Bank Investors, agree to (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way which would (A) reduce or impair Collections or the payment of Discount or fees payable hereunder to the Investors or delay the scheduled dates for payment of such amounts, (B) increase the Servicing Fee (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), (C) modify any provisions of this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Parent Agreement relating to the timing of payments required to be made by the Transferor, any Originating Entity, FME KGaA or FMCH or the application of the proceeds of such payments, (D) permit the appointment of any Person (other than the Agent) as successor Collection Agent, (E) release any property from the lien provided by this Agreement (other than as expressly contemplated herein) or (F) extend or permit the extension of the Commitment Termination Date without the consent of each Bank Investor. The Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of each Administrative Agent, agree to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement, the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the BMA Transfer Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Parent Agreement. The Agent shall not agree to any amendment of this Agreement which increases the dollar amount of any Investor’s Commitment without the prior consent of such Investor. In addition, the Agent shall not agree to any amendment of this Agreement not specifically described in the two preceding sentences without the consent of the Majority Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event the Agent requests any Investor’s consent pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Investor within 10 Business Days of such Investor’s receipt of such request, then such Investor (and its percentage interest hereunder) shall be disregarded in determining whether the Agent shall have obtained sufficient consent hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 9.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Parent Group Member), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Investor and shall not be responsible to any Investor for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Investor for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by

telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 9.3. Credit Decision. Each Investor acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of an Administrative Agent or any other Investor and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and, if it so determines, to accept the transfer to the Agent on its behalf of any undivided ownership interest in the Affected Assets hereunder. Each Investor also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any of the Agent’s Affiliates or any other Investor and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

Section 9.4. Indemnification of the Agent. The Bank Investors agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transferor), ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent, any of the other Transaction Documents hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Bank Investors shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Bank Investors agree to reimburse the Agent, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of the Bank Investors hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Transferor. Solely for purposes of this Section 9.4, (i) the Administrative Agent for Salisbury shall be deemed to be a Bank Investor having a Commitment equal to the Commitment of Salisbury and (ii) Salisbury shall not be deemed to be a Bank Investor.

Section 9.5. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to each Investor and the Transferor and may be removed at any time with cause by the Majority Investors. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Investors shall appoint a successor Agent. Each Investor agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Investors’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Investors, appoint a successor Agent which successor Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.6. Payments by the Agent. All amounts received by the Agent on behalf of the Investors shall be paid by the Agent to the Investors (at their respective accounts specified in their respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements) on the Business Day received by the Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the Investors on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to the Investors not later than the following Business Day. All amounts received by the Agent hereunder on behalf of the Investors shall be allocated among the Related Groups in accordance with Sections 2.5 and/or 2.6, as applicable. For purposes of the foregoing, the Agent shall be deemed to be a member of the Related Group that includes Paradigm.

Section 9.7. Bank Commitment; Assignment to Bank Investors.

(a) Assignments by Conduit Investors. A Conduit Investor may, at any time, assign all or any portion of its interests in the Net Investment, the Receivables, and Collections, Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to any Bank Investor, Administrative Agent, Liquidity Provider or Credit Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates without the consent of any other party. In addition to and not in limitation of any other provision hereof which permits

assignments by a Conduit Investor, any Conduit Investor may, from time to time, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interests in the Net Investment, the Receivables, and Collections, Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to another special purpose company (an “SPC Assignee”) which (i) is administered by such Conduit Investor’s Administrative Agent or by any Affiliate of such Administrative Agent and (ii) has activities generally similar to such Conduit Investor. The Administrative Agent for the assigning Conduit Investor shall notify the Transferor and the Agent of such assignment promptly following the effective date thereof. Upon and to the extent of such assignment to an SPC Assignee, (i) the SPC Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the Net Investment, (ii) the relevant Administrative Agent will act as Administrative Agent for the SPC Assignee as well as for the assigning Conduit Investor, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted herein to such Administrative Agent, (iii) the SPC Assignee shall be a Conduit Investor hereunder and its credit and liquidity support providers and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the assigning Conduit Investor and its credit and liquidity support providers and other related parties, respectively, herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against the assigning Conduit Investor or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against the assigning Conduit Investor, and the right to assign to another SPC Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) the SPC Assignee shall assume all obligations, if any, of the assigning Conduit Investor under and in connection with this Agreement, and the assigning Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the assigning Conduit Investor (if any) and the SPC Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of Net Investment or Discount shall be made to the assigning Conduit Investor and the SPC Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests (or in the case of Discount, the accrued amounts thereof), (vi) the rate used to calculate the Discount with respect to the portions of the Net Investment owned by the SPC Assignee and funded with commercial paper notes issued by the SPC Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of the “CP Rate” on the basis of the discount or interest rates applicable to commercial paper issued by the SPC Assignee (rather than the assigning Conduit Investor), (vii) in the event that the relevant Related Group, by reason of such assignment, shall contain more than one Conduit Investor, then each reference in this Agreement to “Conduit Investor” shall mean and refer to, in the case of such Related Group, each such Conduit Investor individually or all of such Conduit Investors collectively, as the context may require, (viii) any reference in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the assigning Conduit Investor shall mean and be a reference to such assigning Conduit Investor and/or the relevant SPC Assignee, as the context may require, (ix) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (x) if requested by the relevant Administrative Agent, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the relevant Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing.

(b) Assignments by Bank Investors. No Bank Investor may assign all or a portion of its interests in the Net Investment, the Receivables, and Collections, Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person unless approved in writing by the Administrative Agent for its Related Group, on behalf of the related Conduit Investor (it being understood and agreed that no consent from the Transferor or any other Person shall be required in connection with any assignment by a Bank Investor). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood for the avoidance of doubt that an Administrative Agent may condition any approval on its receipt of written confirmation from each applicable Rating Agency that such assignment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Commercial Paper issued by the related Conduit Investor. In the case of an assignment by a Conduit Investor to the Bank Investors or by a Bank Investor to another Person, the assignor shall deliver to the assignee(s) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, duly executed, assigning to the assignee a pro rata interest in the Net Investment, the Receivables, and Collections, Related Security and Proceeds with respect thereto and the assignor’s rights and obligations hereunder and the assignor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to protect, or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to such interest and to enable the Agent, on behalf of such assignee, to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. Upon any such assignment, (i) the assignee shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assignor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party with respect to such interest for all purposes, it being understood that the Bank Investors, as assignees, shall (x) be obligated to fund Incremental Transfers under Section 2.2(a) in accordance with the terms thereof, notwithstanding that related Conduit Investor was not so obligated and (y) not have the right to elect the commencement of the amortization of the Net Investment pursuant to the definition of “Reinvestment Termination Date”, notwithstanding that the related

Conduit Investor had such right) and (ii) the assignor shall relinquish its rights with respect to such interest for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. No such assignment shall be effective unless a fully executed copy of the related Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be delivered to the Agent, the Administrative Agent for the applicable Related Group and the Transferor. All costs and expenses of the Agent, the applicable Administrative Agent and the assignor and assignee incurred in connection with any assignment hereunder shall be borne by the Transferor and not by the assignor or any such assignee. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Related Group, no Bank Investor shall assign any portion of its Commitment hereunder without also simultaneously assigning an equal portion of its interest in the applicable Liquidity Provider Agreement.

(c) Effects of Assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any such other instrument or document; (ii) the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Transferor, any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent or the performance or observance by the Transferor, any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the BMA Transfer Agreement, the Parent Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the BMA Transfer Agreement, the Parent Agreement, and such other instruments, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to purchase such interest; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, or the assignor and based on such agreements, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Receivables, the Contracts and the Related Security; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Receivables, the Contracts and the Related Security, (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are required to be performed by it as the assignee of the assignor; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit Investor any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 10.9 prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Investor or its Related CP Issuer.

(d) Transferor’s Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts. The Transferor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for a Conduit Investor or, in the case of GBFC, to such Conduit Investor, for the account of such Conduit Investor, in connection with any assignment by such Conduit Investor to its related Liquidity Providers, an aggregate amount equal to all Discount to accrue through the end of each outstanding Tranche Period plus all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than the Net Investment) owing to such Conduit Investor.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Downgrade of Bank Investor. If (at any time prior to any assignment by a Conduit Investor to the Bank Investors in its Related Group as contemplated pursuant to this Section 9.7) the short term debt rating of any Bank Investor in such Related Group shall be “A-2” or “P-2” from Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, respectively, with negative credit implications, such Bank Investor, upon request of the applicable Administrative Agent, shall, within 30 days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” and “P-2” from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s,

respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications). If the short term debt rating of a Bank Investor in a Related Group shall be “A-3” or “P-3”, or lower, from Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, respectively (or such rating shall have been withdrawn by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s), such Bank Investor, upon request of the applicable Administrative Agent, shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” and “P-2” from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications). In either such case, if any such Bank Investor in a Related Group shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Agreement within the applicable time period described above, the related Conduit Investor shall have the right to require such Bank Investor to accept the assignment of such Bank Investor’s Pro Rata Share of the Net Investment; such assignment shall occur in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 9.7. Such Bank Investor shall be obligated to pay to such Conduit Investor, in connection with such assignment, in addition to the Pro Rata Share of the Net Investment, an amount equal to the Interest Component of the outstanding Commercial Paper issued to fund the portion of the Net Investment being assigned to such Bank Investor, as reasonably determined by the applicable Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon any such assignment to a downgraded Bank Investor as contemplated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate available amount of the applicable Related Group Limit, solely as it relates to new Incremental Transfers to such Conduit Investor, shall be reduced by the amount of unused Commitment of such downgraded Bank Investor; it being understood and agreed, that nothing in this sentence or the two preceding sentences shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded Bank Investor’s Commitment to the Transferor or such downgraded Bank Investor’s other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

Section 9.8. Appointment of Administrative Agents. (a) Each Investor in a Related Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent for its Related Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to such Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, each Investor in a Related Group hereby appoints the Administrative Agent for its Related Group as its agent to execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that such Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate or that any Investor may reasonably request to enable any of them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. Bank Investors representing at least 66 and 2/3% of the aggregate Commitments of all Bank Investors in a Related Group (the “Group Majority Investors” for such Related Group) may direct the Administrative Agent for such Related Group to take any such incidental action hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental to the actions specifically delegated to an Administrative Agent hereunder, such Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Group Majority Investors; provided, however, no Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of such Administrative Agent, shall be in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose such Administrative Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or Potential Termination Event, the Administrative Agent for a Related Group shall take no action hereunder (other than ministerial actions or such actions as are specifically provided for herein) without the prior consent of the Group Majority Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Administrative Agent for a Related Group shall not, without the prior written consent of all Bank Investors in such Related Group, agree to (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way which would (A) reduce or impair Collections or the amount or payment of Net Investment, Discount or fees payable hereunder to the Bank Investors, in such Related Group or delay the scheduled dates for payment of such amounts, (B) increase the Servicing Fee (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), (C) modify any provisions of this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Parent Agreement relating to the timing of payments required to be made by the Transferor, any Originating Entity, FME KGaA or FMCH or the application of the proceeds of such payments, (D) permit the appointment of any Person (other than the Agent) as successor Collection Agent, (E) release any property from the lien provided by this Agreement (other than as expressly contemplated herein) or any party from its obligations under the Parent Agreement or (F) extend or permit the extension of the Commitment Termination Date without the consent of each Bank Investor, in such Related Group. The Administrative Agent for a Related Group shall not agree to any amendment of this Agreement which increases the dollar amount of the Commitment of a Bank Investor in such Related Group without the prior consent of such Bank Investor. In addition, no Administrative Agent shall agree to any amendment of this Agreement not specifically described in the two preceding sentences without the consent of the related Group Majority Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event an Administrative Agent requests any Investor’s consent pursuant

to the foregoing provisions and such Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either positive or negative) from such Investor within 10 Business Days of such Investor’s receipt of such request, then such Investor (and its percentage interest hereunder) shall be disregarded in determining whether such Administrative Agent shall have obtained sufficient consent hereunder.

(b) Each Administrative Agent shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 9.9. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither any Administrative Agent nor any directors, officers, agents or employees of an Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Parent Group Member), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Investor and shall not be responsible to any Investor for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Parent Group Member or the Collection Agent; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Investor for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Section 9.10. Indemnification of the Administrative Agents. The Bank Investors, in each Related Group agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent for such Related Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Transferor), ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Administrative Agent, any of the other Transaction Documents hereunder or thereunder (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent for Salisbury, for any amounts payable by such Administrative Agent by reason of the last sentence of Section 9.4), provided that the Bank Investors, in a Related Group shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the applicable Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Bank Investors, in each Related Group agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such Related Group, ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by such Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of such Bank Investors, hereunder and/or thereunder and to the extent that such Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Transferor.

Section 9.11. Successor Administrative Agents. Any Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, each Investor in its Related Group and the Transferor and may be removed at any time with cause by the applicable Group Majority Investors. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Group Majority Investors for such Related Group shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Each Investor agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed for such Related Group, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Group Majority Investors’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Investors in such Related Group, appoint a successor Administrative Agent for such Related Group which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties

and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Payments by the Administrative Agents. Unless specifically allocated to an Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by an Administrative Agent on behalf of the Investors in its Related Group shall be paid by such Administrative Agent to the Investors in its Related Group (at their respective accounts specified in their respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements) in accordance with their respective related pro rata interests in the Net Investment on the Business Day received by such Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case such Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the Investors in its Related Group on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Investors in accordance with their respective related pro rata interests in the Net Investment not later than the following Business Day.

This Agreement shall terminate on the date following the Termination Date upon which the Net Investment has been reduced to zero, all accrued Discount and Servicing Fees have been paid in full and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full, in each case, in cash; provided, however, that (i) the rights and remedies of the Agent, the Investors and the Administrative Agents with respect to any representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by the Transferor pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, Section 9.4 and Section 9.10, and (iii) the agreement set forth in Section 10.9 hereof, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.2. Waivers; Amendments. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Investor or any Administrative Agent in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, in the case of any amendment, such amendment is in writing and is signed by the Transferor, the Agent, each Administrative Agent and the Majority Investors and in the case of any waiver, such waiver is granted in writing by each Administrative Agent; provided that no Administrative Agent for a Conduit Investor shall consent to any such amendment or waiver unless each applicable Rating Agency shall have either (i) received prior notice of such amendment or waiver and, in the case of any material amendment or waiver, confirmed that such amendment or waiver will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of the Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Investor or (ii) advised such Conduit Investor or its related Administrative Agent that amendments or waivers may be effected without the need for any further confirmation by such Rating Agency.

Section 10.3. Notices. Except as provided below, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other party at its address or telecopy number set forth below or at such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for the purposes of notice to such party.

The Transferor agrees to deliver promptly to each such Investor or Administrative Agent or the Agent, as applicable, a written confirmation of each telephonic notice directed to such Person signed by an authorized officer of Transferor. However, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice.

1. Perfection Representations:

(a) (i) Each purchase of Receivables under the Transferring Affiliate Letter constitutes a true sale of such Receivables from the applicable Transferring Affiliate to the Seller, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from such Transferring Affiliate. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such purchase of Receivables is deemed not to be a true sale, then the Transferring Affiliate Letter creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in such Receivables in favor of the Seller, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferring Affiliates. In addition, the Transferring Affiliate Letter creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables arising after the Termination Date in favor of the Seller, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferring Affiliates.

(ii) Each purchase of Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement constitutes a true sale of such Receivables from the Seller to the Transferor, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such purchase of Receivables is deemed not to be a true sale, then the Receivables Purchase Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in such Receivables in favor of the Transferor, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller. In addition, the Receivables Purchase Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables arising after the Termination Date in favor of the Transferor, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Seller.

(iii) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Agent, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from Transferor.

(b) The Receivables constitute “accounts” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(c) Immediately prior to each purchase of Receivables under the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the applicable Transferring Affiliate had good and marketable title to such Receivables free and clear of any Adverse Claim, claim or encumbrance of any Person. Immediately prior to each purchase of Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Seller had good and marketable title to such Receivables free and clear of any Adverse Claim, claim or encumbrance of any Person. The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Adverse Claim, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

(d) The Transferor, the Seller and the Transferring Affiliates have caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from the Transferring Affiliates to the Seller, and from the Seller to the Transferor, and the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Agent hereunder. None of the Transferor, the Seller or the Transferring Affiliates is aware of any judgment or tax filings against it.

(e) Other than the transfer of the Receivables from the Transferring Affiliates to the Seller under the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the transfer of the Receivables from the Seller to the Transferor under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Transferor nor any Originating Entity has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. Neither Transferor nor any Originating Entity has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against Transferor or any Originating Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Agent hereunder or that has been terminated.

2. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments or any replacement of the Collection Agent or termination of Collection Agent’s rights to act as such) until such time as all Aggregate Unpaids have been finally and fully paid and performed.

3. No Waiver. The Administrative Agent for each Conduit Investor agrees that it: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Commercial Paper relating to such Conduit Investor, waive any of the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and (iii) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Investor(as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

4. Collection Agent to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Collection Agent covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Transferor, the Agent, the Administrative Agents and the Investors under this Agreement, the Collection Agent shall take such action, and execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by any Administrative Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Agent’s security interest in the Receivables. The Collection Agent shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Agent for the Agent to authorize (based in reliance on the opinion of counsel hereinafter provided for) the Collection Agent to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Receivables as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). The Collection Agent shall present each such Filing to the Agent together with (x) to the extent requested by any Administrative Agent, an opinion of counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the security interest to the Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (ii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Agent’s signature. Upon receipt of such opinion of counsel and form of authorization, Agent shall promptly authorize in writing Collection Agent to, and Collection Agent shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of Transferor or Agent where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Collection Agent shall not have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the Agent in accordance with this paragraph.

FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED

TRANSFER AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

LIST OF ACTIONS AND SUITS

SECTIONS 3.1(g), 3.1(k) and 3.3(e)

3.1(g)(i) Transferor: None

3.1(g)(ii) Affiliates: The following is an excerpt from the Form 6-K filing of Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ending September 30, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

The Company is routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory and tax audits, investigations and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of its business of providing healthcare services and products. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always difficult to accurately predict and outcomes that are not consistent with the Company’s view of the merits can occur. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the legal matters pending against it and is defending itself vigorously. Nevertheless, it is possible that the resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Commercial Litigation

The Company was originally formed as a result of a series of transactions it completed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of February 4, 1996, by and between W.R. Grace & Co. and Fresenius SE (the “Merger”). At the time of the Merger, a W.R. Grace & Co. subsidiary known as W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn. had, and continues to have, significant liabilities arising out of product-liability related litigation (including asbestos-related actions), pre-Merger tax claims and other claims unrelated to National Medical Care, Inc. (“NMC”), which was W.R. Grace & Co.’s dialysis business prior to the Merger. In connection with the Merger, W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn. agreed to indemnify the Company, FMCH [Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.], and NMC against all liabilities of W.R. Grace & Co., whether relating to events occurring before or after the Merger, other than liabilities arising from or relating to NMC’s operations. W.R. Grace & Co. and certain of its subsidiaries filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Grace Chapter 11 Proceedings”) on April 2, 2001.

Prior to and after the commencement of the Grace Chapter 11 Proceedings, class action complaints were filed against W.R. Grace & Co. and FMCH by plaintiffs claiming to be creditors of W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn., and by the asbestos creditors’ committees on behalf of the W.R. Grace & Co. bankruptcy estate in the Grace Chapter 11 Proceedings, alleging among other things that the Merger was a fraudulent conveyance, violated the uniform fraudulent transfer act and constituted a conspiracy. All such cases have been stayed and transferred to or are pending before the U.S. District Court as part of the Grace Chapter 11 Proceedings.

In 2003, the Company reached agreement with the asbestos creditors’ committees on behalf of the W.R. Grace & Co. bankruptcy estate and W.R. Grace & Co. in the matters pending in the Grace Chapter 11 Proceedings for the settlement of all fraudulent conveyance and tax claims against it and other claims related to the Company that arise out of the bankruptcy of W.R. Grace & Co. Under the terms of the settlement agreement as amended (the “Settlement Agreement”), fraudulent conveyance and other claims raised on behalf of asbestos claimants will be dismissed with prejudice and the Company will receive protection against existing and potential future W.R. Grace & Co. related claims, including fraudulent conveyance and asbestos claims, and indemnification against income tax claims related to the non-NMC members of the W.R. Grace & Co. consolidated tax group upon confirmation of a W.R. Grace & Co. bankruptcy reorganization plan that contains such provisions. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company will pay a total of $115,000 without interest to the W.R. Grace & Co. bankruptcy estate, or as otherwise directed by the Court, upon plan confirmation. No admission of liability has been or will be made. The Settlement Agreement has been approved by the U.S. District Court. Subsequent to the Merger, W.R. Grace & Co. was involved in a multi-step transaction involving Sealed Air Corporation (“Sealed Air,” formerly known as Grace Holding, Inc.). The Company is engaged in litigation with Sealed Air to confirm its entitlement to indemnification from Sealed Air for all losses and expenses incurred by the Company relating to pre-

H-2

Merger tax liabilities and Merger-related claims. Under the Settlement Agreement, upon confirmation of a plan that satisfies the conditions of the Company’s payment obligation, this litigation will be dismissed with prejudice.

On April 4, 2003, FMCH filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, styled Fresenius USA, Inc., et al., v. Baxter International Inc., et al., Case No. C 03-1431, seeking a declaratory judgment that FMCH does not infringe patents held by Baxter International Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Baxter”), that the patents are invalid, and that Baxter is without right or authority to threaten or maintain suit against FMCH for alleged infringement of Baxter’s patents. In general, the alleged patents concern the use of touch screen interfaces for hemodialysis machines. Baxter filed counterclaims against FMCH seeking more than $140,000 in monetary damages and injunctive relief, and alleging that FMCH willfully infringed on Baxter’s patents. On July 17, 2006, the court entered judgment on a jury verdict in favor of FMCH finding that all the asserted claims of the Baxter patents are invalid as obvious and/or anticipated in light of prior art.

On February 13, 2007, the court granted Baxter’s motion to set aside the jury’s verdict in favor of FMCH and reinstated the patents and entered judgment of infringement. Following a trial on damages, the court entered judgment on November 6, 2007 in favor of Baxter on a jury award of $14,300. On April 4, 2008, the court denied Baxter’s motion for a new trial, established a royalty payable to Baxter of 10% of the sales price for continuing sales of FMCH’s 2008K hemodialysis machines and 7% of the sales price of related disposables, parts and service beginning November 7, 2007, and enjoined sales of the 2008K machine effective January 1, 2009. We appealed the court’s rulings to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On September 10, 2009, the Court of Appeals reversed the district court’s decision and determined that the asserted claims in two of the three patents at issue are invalid. As to the third patent, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s decision; however, the Court of Appeals vacated the injunction and award of damages. These issues have been remanded to the lower court for reconsideration in light of the invalidity ruling on most of the claims. As a result, FMCH is no longer required to fund the court-approved escrow account set up to hold the royalty payments ordered by the district court, although funds already contributed will remain in escrow until the case is concluded. The remaining patent has been found invalid in re-examination by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Baxter has appealed this finding. If we prevail with respect to the invalidity of the final remaining patent, the escrowed funds will be returned to us with interest. In October 2008, we completed design modifications to the 2008K machine that eliminate any incremental hemodialysis machine royalty payment exposure under the original district court order, irrespective of the outcome of the remanded issues.

On April 28, 2008, Baxter filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (Chicago), styled Baxter International, Inc. and Baxter Healthcare Corporation v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. and Fresenius USA, Inc., Case No. CV 2389, asserting that FMCH’s hemodialysis machines infringe four recently issued patents (late 2007-2008), all of which are based on one of the patents at issue in the April 2003 Baxter case described above. The new patents expire in April 2011 and relate to trend charts shown on touch screen interfaces and the entry of ultrafiltration profiles (ultrafiltration is the removing of liquid from a patient’s body using pressure). The court has stayed the case pending the outcome of the appeal in the April 2003 Baxter case. The Company believes that its hemodialysis machines do not infringe any valid claims of the Baxter patents at issue, all of which are now subject to re-examination at, and a preliminary finding of invalidity by, the USPTO.

On October 17, 2006, Baxter and DEKA Products Limited Partnership (DEKA) filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas which was subsequently transferred to the Northern District of California, styled Baxter Healthcare Corporation and DEKA Products Limited Partnership v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Fresenius Medical Care North America and Fresenius USA, Inc., Case No. CV 438 TJW. The complaint alleges that FMCH’s Liberty peritoneal cyclers infringe certain patents owned by or licensed to Baxter. Sales of the Liberty cyclers commenced in July 2008. The Company believes that the Liberty peritoneal cycler does not infringe any valid claims of the Baxter/DEKA patents.

Two patent infringement actions have been pending in Germany between Gambro Industries (“Gambro”) on the one side and Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH (“D-GmbH”) and FMC-AG & Co. KGaA on the other side (hereinafter collectively “Fresenius Medical Care”). Gambro herein alleged patent infringements by Fresenius Medical Care concerning a patent on a device for the preparation of medical solutions. The first case was dismissed as being unfounded. Such decision has already become final. In the second case, the District Court of Mannheim rendered a judgment on June 27, 2008 deciding in favor of Gambro and declaring that Fresenius Medical Care has infringed a patent. Accordingly, the court ordered Fresenius Medical Care to pay compensation (to be determined in a separate court proceeding) for alleged infringement and to stop offering the alleged patent infringing technology in its original form in Germany. D-GmbH brought an invalidity action in the Federal German Patent Court (“BPatG”) against Gambro’s patent. This case is currently pending with the Federal Court of Justice as the court of appeal. Fresenius Medical Care has also filed an appeal against the District Court’s verdict. On January 5, 2009,

H-3

Gambro enforced such verdict provisionally by way of security. However, preceding such enforcement Fresenius Medical Care had already developed design modifications, being an alternative technical solution, and replaced the alleged patent infringing technology in all of the affected devices. In view of the pending appeal against BPatG’s verdict and Fresenius Medical Care’s appeal against the District Court’s verdict, Fresenius Medical Care continues to believe that the alleged patent infringing technology does not infringe any valid patent claims of Gambro. Therefore, the Company has made no provision in the financial statements for any potential liability in this matter.

Other Litigation and Potential Exposures

Renal Care Group, Inc. (“RCG”) was named as a nominal defendant in a second amended complaint filed September 13, 2006 in the Chancery Court for the State of Tennessee Twentieth Judicial District at Nashville against former officers and directors of RCG which purports to constitute a class action and derivative action relating to alleged unlawful actions and breaches of fiduciary duty in connection with the Company’s acquisition of RCG (the “RCG Acquisition”) and in connection with alleged improper backdating and/or timing of stock option grants by RCG. The amended complaint was styled Indiana State District Council of Laborers and Hod Carriers Pension Fund v. Gary Brukardt et al. The complaint sought damages against defendant and its former officers and directors but did not state a claim for money damages directly against RCG. As of August 24, 2009, appellate proceedings that reversed the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint had concluded. The litigation is accordingly proceeding toward trial in the Chancery Court.

FMCH and its subsidiaries, including RCG (prior to the RCG Acquisition), received subpoenas from the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, in connection with a joint civil and criminal investigation. FMCH received its subpoena in April 2005. RCG received its subpoena in August 2005. The subpoenas require production of a broad range of documents relating to FMCH’s and RCG’s operations, with specific attention to documents related to clinical quality programs, business development activities, medical director compensation and physician relationships, joint ventures, and anemia management programs, RCG’s supply company, pharmaceutical and other services that RCG provides to patients, RCG’s relationships to pharmaceutical companies, and RCG’s purchase of dialysis equipment from FMCH. The Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Texas have also confirmed that they are participating in the review of the anemia management program issues raised by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Missouri. We will continue to cooperate in the ongoing investigation.

On July 17, 2007, the U.S. Attorney’s office filed a civil complaint against RCG and FMCH in its capacity as RCG’s current corporate parent in United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri. The complaint seeks monetary damages and penalties with respect to issues arising out of the operation of RCG’s Method II supply company through 2005, prior to the date of FMCH’s acquisition of RCG. The complaint is styled United States of America ex rel. Julie Williams et al. vs. Renal Care Group, Renal Care Group Supply Company and FMCH. On August 11, 2009, the Court granted RCG’s motion to transfer venue to the Middle District of Tennessee (Nashville), where the case is proceeding toward trial. The Company believes that RCG’s operation of its Method II supply company was in compliance with applicable law and will defend this litigation vigorously.

On November 27, 2007, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (El Paso) unsealed and permitted service of two complaints previously filed under seal by a qui tam relator, a former FMCH local clinic employee (qui tam is a legal provision under the United States False Claims Act, which allows private individuals to bring suit on behalf of the U.S. federal government, as far as such individuals believe to have knowledge of presumable fraud committed by third parties). The first complaint alleges that a nephrologist unlawfully employed in his practice an assistant to perform patient care tasks that the assistant was not licensed to perform and that Medicare billings by the nephrologist and FMCH therefore violated the False Claims Act. The second complaint alleges that FMCH unlawfully retaliated against the relator by discharging her from employment constructively. The United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas declined to intervene and to prosecute on behalf of the United States. Litigation on the relator’s complaint is continuing.

On June 25, 2009, FMCH received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena seeks information relating to the results of certain laboratory tests ordered for patients treated in FMCH’s dialysis facilities during the years 2004 through 2009. The Company intends to cooperate fully in the government’s investigation.

We have filed claims for refunds contesting the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) disallowance of FMCH’s civil settlement payment deductions taken by Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. (“FMCH”) in prior year tax returns. As a result of a settlement agreement with the IRS to resolve our appeal of the IRS’s disallowance of deductions for the civil settlement payments made to qui tam relators in connection with the resolution of the 2000

H-4

U.S. government investigation, we received a refund in September 2008 of $37,000, inclusive of interest. We continue to pursue our claims for the remaining refunds in the U.S. Federal courts.

For the tax year 1997, we recognized an impairment of one of our subsidiaries which the German tax authorities disallowed in 2003 at the conclusion of its audit for the years 1996 and 1997. We have filed a complaint with the appropriate German court to challenge the tax authority’s decision.

The IRS tax audits of FMCH for the years 2002 through 2006 have been completed. The IRS has disallowed all deductions taken during these audit periods related to intercompany mandatorily redeemable preferred shares. The Company has protested the disallowed deductions and some routine adjustments and will avail itself of all remedies. An adverse determination in this litigation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

Following Fresenius Medical Care & Co KGaA’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”) on May 7, 2009, two shareholders challenged, on the basis of alleged insufficient disclosure during the AGM, resolutions taken by the shareholders on (i) the approval of the actions of the General Partner and (ii) the approval of the actions of the members of the Supervisory Board. Upon conclusion of the proceedings, the court will either uphold the respective resolutions or order their annulment. The Company is of the opinion that the challenges are without merit and will defend this litigation vigorously.

From time to time, the Company is a party to or may be threatened with other litigation or arbitration, claims or assessments arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management regularly analyzes current information including, as applicable, the Company’s defenses and insurance coverage and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of these matters.

The Company, like other health care providers, conducts its operations under intense government regulation and scrutiny. It must comply with regulations which relate to or govern the safety and efficacy of medical products and supplies, the operation of manufacturing facilities, laboratories and dialysis clinics, and environmental and occupational health and safety. The Company must also comply with the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, the Stark Law, and other federal and state fraud and abuse laws. Applicable laws or regulations may be amended, or enforcement agencies or courts may make interpretations that differ from the Company’s interpretations or the manner in which it conducts its business. Enforcement has become a high priority for the federal government and some states.

In addition, the provisions of the False Claims Act authorizing payment of a portion of any recovery to the party bringing the suit encourage private plaintiffs to commence “whistle blower” actions. By virtue of this regulatory environment, the Company’s business activities and practices are subject to extensive review by regulatory authorities and private parties, and continuing audits, investigative demands, subpoenas, other inquiries, claims and litigation relating to the Company’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company may not always be aware that an inquiry or action has begun, particularly in the case of “whistle blower” actions, which are initially filed under court seal.

The Company operates many facilities throughout the United States. In such a decentralized system, it is often difficult to maintain the desired level of oversight and control over the thousands of individuals employed by many affiliated companies. The Company relies upon its management structure, regulatory and legal resources, and the effective operation of its compliance program to direct, manage and monitor the activities of these employees. On occasion, the Company may identify instances where employees, deliberately or inadvertently, have submitted inadequate or false billings. The actions of such persons may subject the Company and its subsidiaries to liability under the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law and the False Claims Act, among other laws.

Physicians, hospitals and other participants in the health care industry are also subject to a large number of lawsuits alleging professional negligence, malpractice, product liability, worker’s compensation or related claims, many of which involve large claims and significant defense costs. The Company has been and is currently subject to these suits due to the nature of its business and expects that those types of lawsuits may continue. Although the Company maintains insurance at a level which it believes to be prudent, it cannot assure that the coverage limits will be adequate or that insurance will cover all asserted claims. A successful claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon it and the results of its operations. Any claims, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation and business.

The Company has also had claims asserted against it and has had lawsuits filed against it relating to alleged patent infringements or businesses that it has acquired or divested. These claims and suits relate both to operation of the businesses and to the acquisition and divestiture transactions. The Company has, when appropriate, asserted its

AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSFERRING AFFILIATE LETTER

Dated as of October 16, 2008

NATIONAL MEDICAL CARE, INC.

920 Winter Street

Waltham, MA 02451

Attention: Mark Fawcett

Dear Sirs:

We refer to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 16, 2008 between National Medical Care, Inc. (the “Seller”) and NMC Funding Corporation (the “Purchaser”) (such Agreement, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time being the “Agreement”). The undersigned Transferring Affiliates are parties to that certain Transferring Affiliate Letter dated as of August 28, 1997 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Transferring Affiliate Letter’). The undersigned Transferring Affiliates hereby desire to amend and restate the Existing Transferring Affiliate Letter. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amended and Restated Transferring Affiliate Letter (this “Transferring Affiliate Letter”) have the meanings specified in the Agreement or, if not defined in the Agreement, in the Transfer and Administration Agreement referred to therein.

Effective as of the date hereof, this Transferring Affiliate Letter amends, restates and supersedes the Existing Transferring Affiliate Letter. This Transferring Affiliate Letter is not intended to constitute a novation of any obligations under the Existing Transferring Affiliate Letter. Upon the effectiveness of this Transferring Affiliate Letter, each reference to the Existing Transferring Affiliate Letter in any other document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Transferring Affiliate Letter.

1. Each of the undersigned Transferring Affiliates will from time to time forthwith sell to the Seller, and the Seller will from time to time forthwith purchase from such Transferring Affiliate, all of the present and future Receivables, and all Related Security, if any, with respect thereto, which are owed from time to time to such Transferring Affiliate for an amount equal to the face amount of such Receivables, which amount the Seller shall pay to such Transferring Affiliate in cash or by way of a credit to such Transferring Affiliate in the appropriate intercompany account by the last Business Day of the month following the month in which such purchase was made; it being further agreed that (a) that each such purchase of each such Receivable and Related Security with respect thereto shall be deemed to be made on the date such Receivable is created, and (b) the Seller shall settle from time to time each such credit to the account of such Transferring Affiliate, by way of payments in cash or by way of credits in amounts equal to cash expended, obligations incurred or the value of services or property provided by or on behalf of the Seller, in each case for the benefit of such Transferring Affiliate in accordance with the Seller’s and such Transferring Affiliate’s cash management and accounting policies.

It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Purchase under the Agreement shall constitute a sale of such Receivables, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto, from the Seller to the Purchaser, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and that such Receivables and Related Assets not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of an insolvency. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transactions contemplated under the Agreement should be deemed a financing, the Seller and the Purchaser intend that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser a first priority perfected and continuing security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto, and together with all of the Seller’s rights hereunder, under the BMA Transfer Agreement and all other Transaction Documents with respect to the Receivables and with respect to any obligations thereunder of any Originating Entity with respect to the Receivables, and that the Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller under the Agreement has assigned to the Purchaser all of its rights and remedies hereunder and under the BMA Transfer Agreement (and all instruments, documents and agreements executed in connection therewith) with respect to the Receivables and with respect to any obligations thereunder of any Originating Entity with respect to the Receivables.

2. Each Transferring Affiliate hereby severally agrees as follows:

(a) Such Transferring Affiliate shall make each such sale strictly in accordance with the terms of this Transferring Affiliate Letter, without regard to whether any other Transferring Affiliate has performed or failed to perform any of such other Transferring Affiliate’s obligations hereunder.

O-2

(b) Such Transferring Affiliate will instruct all Obligors to cause all Collections to be deposited directly into a Special Account.

(c) Such Transferring Affiliate will act as the Seller’s agent for any Collections received by such Transferring Affiliate with respect to Receivables sold by such Transferring Affiliate to the Seller and such Collections will be held in trust and segregated from the other funds of such Transferring Affiliate until the same are delivered to the Seller. Such Transferring Affiliate agrees that such Collections constitute the Seller’s property and shall be promptly deposited directly to a Special Account.

(d) Such Transferring Affiliate will not add or terminate any bank as a Special Account Bank to or from those listed in Exhibit C to the Agreement, nor make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Special Account Bank; provided that a Transferring Affiliate may (A) add any bank as a Special Account Bank for purposes of this Transferring Affiliate Letter at any time following delivery to the Seller and its assigns of written notice of such addition and a Special Account Letter duly executed by such bank, and (B) terminate any Special Account Bank at any time following delivery to the Seller and its assigns of written notice of such termination and evidence satisfactory to the Seller and its assigns that the affected Obligors shall have been instructed to remit all subsequent Collections to another Special Account.

(e) In the event any Transferring Affiliate has instructed its Obligors to remit Collections to a Special Account that is maintained in the name of any Person other than such Transferring Affiliate, such Transferring Affiliate shall at all times ensure that such Person qualifies as a Designated Account Agent, including, without limitation, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the Seller an Account Agent Agreement and by causing such Account Agent Agreement to remain in effect at all times. In furtherance of the foregoing, each such Transferring Affiliate hereby authorizes and directs each Person maintaining a Special Account on behalf of such Transferring Affiliate to (i) execute, and deliver to the Seller and its assigns, an Account Agent Agreement, (ii) execute and deliver a Special Account Letter in respect of each such Special Account maintained by such Person, and (iii) otherwise take all actions, or omit to take all actions, required to be taken, or required to be omitted to be taken, by such Transferring Affiliate with respect to such Special Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Transferring Affiliate Letter.

3. Each Transferring Affiliate shall provide (or, if applicable, shall cause its Designated Account Agents to provide) standing instructions to each Special Account Bank (which standing instructions shall be maintained in full force and effect at all times) to transfer, prior to the close of business each banking day (i) all Collections on deposit during such banking day in the Special Accounts at such Special Account Bank to the Concentration Account or an Intermediate Concentration Account and (ii) if an Intermediate Concentration Account has been established at such Special Account Bank, all Collections on deposit during such banking day in such Intermediate Concentration Account to the Concentration Account; provided, however, that if the Collections on deposit in any Special Account during such banking day shall be less than $20,000.00 (the “Minimum Amount”), the Special Account Bank shall transfer such Collections to the Concentration Account, or to the Intermediate Concentration Account, as applicable, on the next succeeding banking day in which Collections in such Special Account first exceed the Minimum Amount.

4. Each Transferring Affiliate hereby authorizes the Seller and its assigns, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to take any and all steps in such Transferring Affiliate’s name and on behalf of such Transferring Affiliate to collect all amounts due under such Receivables and Related Security, including, without limitation, endorsing such Transferring Affiliate’s name on checks and other instruments representing collections and enforcing such Receivables and Related Security and the related Contracts; provided, however, neither that the Seller nor any of its assigns shall have the power or authority to direct Obligors of Receivables or Related Security payable under the CHAMPUS/VA, Medicare or Medicaid program to make payments of amounts due or to become due to such Transferring Affiliate in respect of such Receivables or Related Security directly either to the Intermediate Concentration Account or the Concentration Account or to the Seller, the Seller’s assigns or any of their respective designees, except for any such payment in respect of such Receivables or Related Security or any assignment thereof that is established by, or made pursuant to, the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

5. Each Transferring Affiliate agrees that from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Seller or its assigns may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the ownership interest of the Seller in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections, and any interest therein acquired by any assignee of the Seller, or to enable the Seller or its assigns to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder or under the Agreement or the Certificate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Transferring Affiliate will, upon the request of the Seller or its assigns: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments

O-3

thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to perfect, protect or evidence the ownership interest of the Seller or the interest of any assignee thereof; (ii) mark conspicuously each of its records evidencing each Receivable and Related Security and the related Contract with a legend, acceptable to the Seller and its assigns, evidencing that such Receivable and Related Security have been sold in accordance with this Transferring Affiliate Letter, the Agreement or any document, instrument or agreement made in favor of any assignee; and (iii) mark its master data processing records evidencing such Receivables and Related Security and related Contracts with such legend. Each Transferring Affiliate hereby authorizes the Seller to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to the Receivables and Related Security sold by it to the Seller or any assignee now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of such Transferring Affiliate where permitted by law. If any Transferring Affiliate fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Letter, the Seller or any of its assigns may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Seller or any of its assigns incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Transferring Affiliate.

6. Each Transferring Affiliate hereby severally represents and warrants as to itself as follows:

(e) Such Transferring Affiliate will be, at the time of each sale hereunder, the legal and beneficial owner of each Receivable, and any Related Security with respect thereto, originally owed to such Transferring Affiliate and sold from time to time to the Seller hereunder, free and clear of any Adverse Claim except as created by the Agreement (or any subsequent assignment by the assignee thereunder).

1.8 The RPA is further amended to add the following new Section 9.13 immediately after Section 9.12:

“Section 9.13 Perfection Representations. The Perfection Representations shall be a part of the Agreement for all purposes. The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in the Perfection Representations as of the date of each sale of Receivables hereunder. The Perfection Representations shall survive termination of this Agreement.”

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective and be deemed effective as of the date hereof upon (i) the receipt by the Purchaser of counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Purchaser and the Seller and (ii) the effectiveness of the Fifth Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement of even date herewith among the Purchaser, as “Transferor”, the Seller, as the initial “Collection Agent” thereunder, the Persons parties thereto as “Conduit Investors”, the Persons parties thereto as “Bank Investors”, the Persons parties thereto as “Administrative Agents” and WestLB AG, New York Branch, as “Agent”.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

Dated as of November 17, 2009

AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSFERRING AFFILIATE LETTER

Dated as of October 16, 2008

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”) dated as of November 17, 2009 is entered into by and among (i) NATIONAL MEDICAL CARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and (ii) the entities listed on the signature pages hereof under the heading “New Transferring Affiliates” (collectively, the “New Transferring Affiliates”) and (iii) the other entities listed on the signature pages hereof under the heading “Existing Transferring Affiliates” (collectively, the “Existing Transferring Affiliates” and, together with the New Transferring Affiliates, the “Transferring Affiliates”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

A. The Seller and the Existing Transferring Affiliates are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Transferring Affiliate Letter dated as of October 16, 2008 (as amended or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Transferring Affiliate Letter”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Transferring Affiliate Letter or in the RPA referred to therein.

B. The parties hereto desire to add the New Transferring Affiliates as Transferring Affiliates under the Transferring Affiliate Letter and to amend the Transferring Affiliate Letter on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Section 1. Amendments.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the New Transferring Affiliates are hereby added as “Transferring Affiliates” under the Transferring Affiliate Letter. From and after the effective date of this Amendment, each New Transferring Affiliate shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Transferring Affiliate under the Transferring Affiliate Letter. Accordingly, on the effective date of this Amendment, each New Transferring Affiliate shall sell to the Seller, and the Seller will forthwith purchase from such New Transferring Affiliate, all of the Receivables with respect to such New Transferring Affiliate and all Related Security with respect thereto. All Receivables with respect to such New Transferring Affiliate arising after the effective date of this Amendment and all Related Security with respect thereto shall be sold to the Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transferring Affiliate Letter in the same manner as if such New Transferring Affiliate had been an original party thereto.

(b) Fresenius USA Sales, Inc. and RenalNet Arizona, Inc. are hereby terminated as Transferring Affiliates as of the effective date of this Amendment. Each of Fresenius USA Sales, Inc. and RenalNet Arizona, Inc. have no further right or obligation to transfer any of its Receivables hereunder and shall cease to be a “Transferring Affiliate” hereunder except with respect to Receivables that arose prior to such termination.

1. (a) Each of the undersigned Transferring Affiliates will from time to time forthwith sell to the Seller, and the Seller will from time to time forthwith purchase from such Transferring Affiliate, all of the present and future Receivables, and all Related Security, if any, with respect thereto, which are owed from time to time to such Transferring Affiliate for an amount equal to the Intercompany Purchase Price (as defined below) of such Receivables, which amount the Seller shall pay to such Transferring Affiliate in cash or by way of a credit to such Transferring Affiliate in the appropriate intercompany account by the last Business Day of the month following the month in which such purchase was made; it being further agreed that (a) that each such purchase of each such Receivable and Related Security with respect thereto shall be deemed to be made on the date such Receivable is created, and (b) the Seller shall settle from time to time each such credit to the account of such Transferring Affiliate, by way of payments in cash or by way of credits in amounts equal to cash expended, obligations incurred or the value of services or property provided by or on behalf of the Seller, in each case for the benefit of such Transferring Affiliate in accordance with the Seller’s and such Transferring Affiliate’s cash management and accounting policies. As used herein, the term “Intercompany Purchase Price” shall mean a purchase price as may be agreed from time by each Transferring Affiliate and the Seller and which would

P-6

provide the Seller with a reasonable return on its purchases hereunder after taking into account (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of such Receivables and the cost to the Seller of financing its investment in such Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors. Each Transferring Affiliate and the Seller may agree from time to time to change the Intercompany Purchase Price based on changes in the items described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the previous sentence, provided that any change to the Intercompany Purchase Price shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the purchase price of Receivables sold prior to the date on which the Transferring Affiliate and the Seller agree to make such change.

(b) If on any day the Purchaser becomes entitled to a Purchase Price Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Agreement, the Seller shall become entitled to a credit against the Intercompany Purchase Price in the same amount as such Purchase Price Credit, which will be owed to the Seller by the Transferring Affiliate that originated the Receivable giving rise to the Purchase Price Credit. If any credit to which the Seller becomes so entitled on any date exceeds the aggregate Intercompany Purchase Price of the Receivables sold hereunder by such Transferring Affiliate on such date, then such Transferring Affiliate shall pay the remaining amount of such credit to the Seller in cash on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if the Termination Date has not occurred, such Transferring Affiliate shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such credit from any indebtedness owed to it by the Seller with respect to other purchases of Receivables hereunder.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase of Receivables under this Transferring Affiliate Letter shall constitute a sale of such Receivables, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto, from the applicable Transferring Affiliate to the Seller, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and that such Receivables and Related Assets not be part of the applicable Transferring Affiliate’s estate in the event of an insolvency. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the transactions contemplated under this Transferring Affiliate Letter should be deemed a financing, each Transferring Affiliate and the Seller intend that each Transferring Affiliate shall be deemed to have granted to the Seller a first priority perfected and continuing security interest in all of such Transferring Affiliate’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables now or hereafter arising that are sold to the Seller pursuant to this Transferring Affiliate Letter, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto. In addition, to further protect the interests of the Seller and its assigns, each Transferring Affiliate hereby grants to the Seller (for the benefit of itself and the other Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 17)) a first priority perfected and continuing security interest in all of such Transferring Affiliate’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables arising after the Termination Date, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto. The security interests deemed granted and granted pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall secure all obligations of the Transferring Affiliates hereunder and under the other Transaction documents (including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations of the Transferring Affiliates under Section 17 of this Transferring Affiliate Letter).

(d) The Transferring Affiliate Letter is further amended to add the following new Sections 17 and 18 immediately after Section 16:

17. Indemnities by the Transferring Affiliates. Without limiting any other rights which the Seller or any other Indemnified Party (as defined below) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Transferring Affiliates hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Seller and any successors and permitted assigns (including, without limitation, the Purchaser, Conduit Investors, the Bank Investors, the Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agents, the Liquidity Providers and the Credit Support Providers) and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (which such attorneys may be employees of any Liquidity Provider, any Credit Support Provider, the Agent, any Administrative Agent, any Collateral Agent or the Purchaser, as applicable) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between any Transferring Affiliate or any Parent Group Member (including any Parent Group Member, in its capacity as the Collection Agent) and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Transferring Affiliate Letter, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, by the Seller and its assigns of Receivables and Related Assets or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, excluding, however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party, Indemnified Amounts for which the Seller is compensated under Section 1(b), or (iii) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Transferring Affiliate Letter) for uncollectible Receivables.

(xvii) any reduction or extinguishment of, or any failure by any Obligor to pay (in whole or in part), any Receivable or any Related Security with respect thereto as a result of or on account of any violation of or prohibition under any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter in effect from time to time, including without limitation and CHAMPUS/VA Regulation, any Medicaid Regulation or any Medicare Regulation, or as a result of or on account of the entering of any judicial or regulatory order or agreement adversely affecting the Seller or any Parent Group Member; or

(xviii) any failure by the Seller or any Parent Group Member to maintain all governmental and other authorization and approvals necessary to render the services, or sell the merchandise, resulting in Receivables.

FORM OF ACCOUNT AGENT AGREEMENT

ACCOUNT AGENT AGREEMENT

ACCOUNT AGENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 28, 1997, made by each of the parties identified on the signature pages hereto as being a “Titleholder”, for the benefit of NMC Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“NMC Funding”) and NationsBank, N.A., as agent (the “Agent” ) for certain “Investors” (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) National Medical Care, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NMC”) has entered into that certain Transferring Affiliate Letter (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Transferring Affiliate Letter”) dated as of even date herewith with each of the “Transferring Affiliates” named therein, under which each Such Transferring Affiliate has agreed to sell and assign on each day hereafter all of its right, title and interest in and to each “Receivable” and all “Related Security” (each as defined therein) to NMC in accordance with the terms thereof.

(2) NMC has entered into that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “BMA Transfer Agreement”) dated as of even date herewith with Bio-Medical Applications Management Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BMA”), under which BMA has agreed to sell and assign on the date hereof all of its right, title and interest in and to each “Receivable” and all “Related Security” (each as defined therein) to NMC in accordance with the terms thereof.

(3) NMC has entered into that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Receivables Agreement”) dated as of even date herewith with NMC Funding, under which NMC has agreed to sell and assign on each day hereafter all of its right, title and interest in and to each “Receivable” and all “Related Security” (each as defined therein), including, without limitation, all Receivables and Related Security acquired by NMC from the Transferring Affiliates under the Transferring Affiliate Letter and from BMA under the BMA Transfer Agreement, to NMC Funding in accordance with the terms thereof.

(4) NMC Funding has entered into that certain Transfer and Administration Agreement (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “TAA”) dated as of even date herewith with Enterprise Funding Corporation (“Enterprise”), NMC, as the “Collection Agent” thereunder, certain “Bank Investors” from time to time party thereto (together with Enterprise, the “Investors”) and the Agent, under which NMC Funding shall from time to time sell and assign undivided percentage ownership interests in all “Receivables” and “Related Security” (each as defined therein), including, without limitation, in all Receivables and Related Security acquired by NMC Funding from NMC under the Receivables Agreement, to the Agent for the benefit of the Investors in accordance with the terms thereof. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned under the TAA.

(5) Each Titleholder maintains, for the benefit of certain of the Transferring Affiliates, one or more deposit accounts (each, a “Remittance Account”) to which Obligors on Receivables that have been originated by such Transferring Affiliate have been directed to remit payment on such Receivables.

(6) NMC Funding, as a condition to its entering into the Receivables Agreement, and the Investors and the Agent, as a condition to their entering into the TAA, have required that the Titleholders enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration (the sufficiency and receipt of which are acknowledged), each Titleholder agrees as follows:

Section 1. Representations and Warranties. Each Titleholder represents and warrants that:

(a) Such Titleholder maintains one or more Remittance Accounts for the benefit of one or more Transferring Affiliates. In each case, such Titleholder is acting exclusively in its capacity as agent for such Transferring Affiliate in the establishment and maintenance of each Remittance Account, and acts exclusively at the direction of such Transferring Affiliate in respect of the handling and disposition of all monies, checks,

R-1

instruments, collections, remittances or other payment items received in the Remittance Accounts (the “Payment Items”). Each Remittance Account exists solely for the administrative convenience of the applicable Transferring Affiliate.

(b) Such Titleholder does not hold or claim any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance, or other right or claim in, of or on (i) any Receivables originated by any Transferring Affiliate, (ii) any Payment Items in respect of any such Receivables or (iii) any Related Security with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Affected Assets”). To the extent that the Titleholder at any time comes into possession, whether by reason of a remittance to a Remittance Account or otherwise, of any Affected Assets, such Titleholder holds such Affected Assets in trust for the benefit of the applicable Transferring Affiliate.

(c) Such Titleholder satisfies, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, the requirements set forth in the Receivables Agreement and the TAA for being a “Designated Account Agent” for purposes of those agreements.

(d) Such Titleholder is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all corporate power and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is now conducted. Such Titleholder is duly qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The maintenance of each Remittance Account for the benefit of the applicable Transferring Affiliates, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Titleholder of this Agreement, are within such Titleholder’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Official Body or official thereof and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, any CHAMPUS/VA Regulation, any Medicaid Regulation or any Medicare Regulation) or of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of such Titleholder or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, writ, decree or other instrument binding upon such Titleholder.

(f) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Titleholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(g) Each Remittance Account meets the requirements for being a Special Account under the terms of each of the Receivables Agreement and the TAA, and a Special Account Letter is in effect with respect thereto. The names and addresses of each Remittance Account, together with the account numbers thereof and the Special Account Banks with respect thereto, are specified in Exhibit C to the Receivables Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Agreement). Neither such Titleholder nor, to the best of such Titleholder’s knowledge, any Transferring Affiliate has granted to any Person dominion and control over any Remittance Account or the right to take dominion and control over any Remittance Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event and each Remittance Account is otherwise free and clear of any Adverse Claim.

On each day that a “Purchase” is made under the Receivables Agreement, each Titleholder shall be deemed to have certified that all representations and warranties described in this Section 1 are correct on and as of such day as though made on and as of such day.

(a) Such Titleholder shall take all action, or omit to take all action, required to be taken (or to be omitted) by each Transferring Affiliate as it may relate to the Remittance Accounts under the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the Receivables Agreement, or the TAA, including, without limitation any such action that relates to any covenant or undertaking on the part of such Transferring Affiliate or any of its assigns in respect of “Special Accounts,” the “Concentration Account” or any “Designated Account Agent” thereunder.

R-2

(b) Such Titleholder will furnish to each of NMC Funding and the Agent from time to time such information with respect to the activity in the Remittance Accounts as NMC Funding or the Agent may reasonably request, and will at any time and from time to time during regular business hours permit NMC Funding and the Agent, or any of their respective agents or representatives, (i) to examine and make copies of and take abstracts from records of such Titleholder in respect of the Remittance Accounts and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of such Titleholder for the purpose of examining such records.

(c) Such Titleholder will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse claim upon (or the filing of any financing statement against) or with respect to any of the Affected Assets or any of the Remittance Accounts. The Payment Items mailed to, and funds deposited to or otherwise available in, the Remittance Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of such Titleholder, all of which such Titleholder hereby waives. To the extent there are any amounts due to any Titleholder in respect of its fees and expenses for the maintenance and operation of any of the Remittance Accounts, or in respect of any other claim such Titleholder may from time to time hold against any Transferring Affiliate or any affiliate thereof, such claims shall be settled separately as between such Titleholder and such Transferring Affiliate (or other affiliate), by disbursement from the general operating funds of the applicable Transferring Affiliate (or other affiliate), by disbursement from the general operating funds of the applicable Transferring Affiliate (or other affiliate) and not by way of set-off against, or otherwise from, funds at any time available in the Remittance Accounts.

Section 4. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement may not be terminated at any time by or as to any Titleholder except in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Agreement.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, amended, modified or waived orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by NMC Funding and the Agent.

(c) No Titleholder may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of NMC Funding and the Agent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, NMC Funding, the Agent, each of the Titleholders and their respective successors and assigns.

Agreed Upon Procedures

Procedures performed and findings are presented as follows. For purposes of reporting our findings, in those instances in which one or both the compared amounts were rounded to the same degree, we have nevertheless stated that we found the compared amounts to be in agreement. Minor or insignificant differences, as determined by management of the company (“management), between source or testing data and the Investor Report are not discussed herein and are noted as such in the body of the report, as indicated by the tickmark “P”. All testing is performed on the monthly Investor Report for the period ending January 20 .

1A. For Dialysis Products Division (DPD) and Fresenius Medical Services (FMS), obtain the January 20 Monthly Investor Reports (IR) from management and compare gross receivables (line item 1), all components of the Net Receivables Balance calculation (line items 6-19b), Self-Pay Receivables (line items 26-31) and all components of the Monthly Activity calculation (line items 32-37) to the general ledger (GL) and aged trial balance (ATB). Obtain and document management’s reconciliation of differences in the Agreed Upon Procedures Report (the “Report”).

1B. For FMS, obtain from management a list of void & rebills issued in January 20 , select 60 and complete the following:


	Arrow Pointing Right	Document management’s explanation of credit memos and void & rebills.

	Arrow Pointing Right	Obtain from management a list of each obligor, amount and reason for the issuance of the void & rebill. Document management’s response in the Report in table format.

	Arrow Pointing Right	Calculate and document in the Report the average dilution horizon for each void & rebill selected above. The dilution horizon is defined as the period from the average of the original and ending claim dates to the void & rebill date for those claims.

1B. For DPD obtain from management a list of 20 credit memos issued in January 20 and complete the following:


	Arrow Pointing Right	Obtain from management a list of each obligor, amount and reason for the issuance of the credit memo. Document management’s response in the Report in table format.

	Arrow Pointing Right	Calculate and document in the Report the weighted average dilution horizon for each credit memo selected above. The dilution horizon is defined as the period from original invoice date to the issuance of a credit memo against that invoice. For credits issued for future purchases the dilution horizon is zero. For cash rebates, where the A/R is not discounted and is paid in full, the dilution horizon is zero.

2A. Obtain from management the agings as represented in the selected Monthly Reports and compare amounts to the Company’s ATB and to the GL (DPD and FMS). For each of the divisions, illustrate in the Report the amount as shown in the aged trial balance, the GL and the selected IR. Obtain and document management’s reconciliation of differences.

2B. For DPD and FMS inquire of management the definition of the receivable aging policy utilized (i.e. invoice date or due date). Document management’s representation in the Report.

2C. For FMS, select 60 claims from the January 31, 20 aging and determine if the claims were aged properly in accordance with the Company’s aging policy. Note in the report any invoices/claims that may not be aged in accordance with the aging policy in Procedure 2B.
