PURCHASE AND SETTLEMENTS

SECTION 2.1. Purchases of Receivables; Agreement to Purchase. (a) Pursuant to the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Seller all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each and every Receivable existing as of the Original Closing Date and Receivables arising thereafter. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Purchaser hereby purchases from the Seller, and the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Purchaser, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each and every Receivable existing as of the Closing Date as well as each and every Receivable which may arise at any time thereafter until the Termination Date, together, in each case, with the Related Security, Collections and Proceeds with respect thereto (such Related Security, Collections and Proceeds, collectively, the “Related Assets”). All of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables and the Related Assets with respect thereto arising on each day prior to the Termination Date shall, without further action of any type being required on the part of the Purchaser or the Seller (and notwithstanding any delay in making payment of the Purchase Price therefor, or any delay in making any notation reflecting payment of such Purchase Price), be automatically transferred on such day to the Purchaser, whereupon the Purchaser shall have the obligation to pay the Purchase Price in respect thereof in the manner, at the time and otherwise in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement. Prior to paying the Purchase Price hereunder in respect of any Purchase, the Purchaser may request of the Seller, and the Seller shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

(b)     It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a true sale of such Receivables and the Related Assets with respect thereto (including, in the case of Receivables, a “sale of accounts,” as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sales shall, in each case, be absolute and irrevocable and provide the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables and Related Assets. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, each sale of Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser is made without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Seller, any Transferring Affiliate or any other Person arising under or in connection with the Receivables, the Related Assets and/or the related Contracts. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Receivables rather than a loan secured by such Receivables, the Seller agrees on or prior to the date hereof to mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend, acceptable to the Purchaser, evidencing that the

11


Purchaser has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Purchaser.

(c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Purchases shall be made hereunder from and after the time of any Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Seller or the Purchaser.

SECTION 2.2. Payment for the Purchases. (a) The Purchase Price for each Purchase of Receivables hereunder shall be payable in full by the Purchaser to the Seller by one or any combination of the following means:

(i)by the issuance of equity in the manner contemplated in that certain Stockholder and Subscription Agreement dated as of August 28, 1997 between the Seller and the Purchaser or in such other manner as may from time to time be agreed as between the Seller and the Purchaser or as may be deemed to have been effected in accordance with the terms hereof (the action of the Seller giving rise to any such issuance of equity being a “Capital Contribution”);

(ii)by the delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds then available to the Purchaser or then being made available to the Purchaser in connection with its subsequent sale of an undivided percentage ownership interest in such Receivables to the Agent (on behalf of any Conduit Investor or the Bank Investors, as applicable) under the TAA;

(iii)by the delivery of a Letter of Credit procured by and for the account of the Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.8, in form and substance satisfactory to the Seller, for the benefit of such beneficiary as shall have been designated by the Seller; and/or

(iv)

by the application of the proceeds of a Revolving Loan.

The Purchase Price for each Purchase shall be payable in full by the Purchaser to the Seller or its designee on the date of such Purchase, except that the Purchaser may, with respect to any such Purchase, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid.

(b)      If the Purchase Price in respect of any Purchase shall exceed an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount then being received by the Purchaser from any Transfers under the TAA plus (ii) the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit then being issued at the request of the Seller in connection with such Purchase, the Purchaser shall, with notice to the Seller, pay such shortfall (a “Purchase Price Shortfall”) by borrowing from the Seller a revolving loan (each a “Revolving Loan”), and the Seller, subject to the remaining provisions of this paragraph, irrevocably agrees to advance, and shall be deemed to have advanced, a Revolving Loan in the amount so specified by the Purchaser; provided, however, that no such Revolving Loan shall be made to the Purchaser, if, after giving effect thereto, either (x) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Eligible Receivables minus the aggregate Net Investment outstanding at such time under the TAA or (y) the Purchaser’s net worth would be less than an amount (the “Minimum Net Worth”) that is at such time the greater of (A) $5,000,000 or (B) three percent (3.00%) of the sum of the

12


aggregate Net Investment and the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time under the TAA. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of, a promissory note in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Subordinated Note”) and shall be payable solely from funds which the Purchaser is not required under the TAA to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Agent, any Conduit Investor and/or the Bank Investors.

(c)     If, in respect of any Purchase, there shall continue to be a Purchase Price Shortfall after applying the proceeds of any Revolving Loan extended on the date of such Purchase, then the Seller shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution having a value equal to the otherwise unpaid portion of the total Purchase Price owed on such day.

(d)     The respective Purchase Prices for the Purchases made during any calendar month shall be settled on a monthly basis on the Settlement Date occurring in the succeeding calendar month, such settlement to be made based on the information contained in the Investor Report in respect of such calendar month. With respect to any such settlement, each adjustment to the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note made pursuant to this Article II and each Capital Contribution made by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Article II shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the calendar month to which such settlement relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Purchaser receives either Collections or proceeds from any Incremental Transfers, which, in either case, it is not required to hold in trust for, or remit to, the Agent, any Conduit Investor and/or any of the Bank Investors pursuant to the TAA, then the Purchaser shall remit such funds to the Seller (net of any funds needed to pay existing expenses of the Purchaser which are then accrued and unpaid) in the following order of application: first to pay the Purchase Price for any Receivables Purchased from the Seller; second to pay amounts owed by the Purchaser to the Seller under the Subordinated Note; provided, that if on any Settlement Date it is determined that the aggregate amount of funds so remitted by the Purchaser to the Seller during any calendar month exceeded the aggregate of the amounts described in clauses first and second above due and payable by the Purchaser to the Seller during such calendar month, such excess funds shall be returned forthwith by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Purchaser will be responsible for payment of all fees and expenses in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit. The Purchaser will be the sole account party on all Letters of Credit and the Seller will have no recourse liability to any L/C Issuer or any reimbursement obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.3. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. (a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is either (x) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or returned merchandise or services, any discount, credit, Contractual Adjustment, rebate, dispute, warranty claim, repossessed or returned goods, chargeback, allowance, any billing adjustment or other adjustment, or (y) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff or offset in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), the Purchaser shall be entitled to a Purchase Price Credit in an amount equal to the full amount of such reduction or cancellation. In addition, if on any day it is determined that (i) any of the representations or warranties in Article III was untrue with respect to a Receivable as of the date such representation or warranty was made or (ii) any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.1(d) or Section 3.1(j) becomes untrue with

13


respect to a Receivable (whether on or after the date of any transfer thereof to the Purchaser as contemplated hereunder) or (iii) a Receivable that was formerly treated as or represented to be an Eligible Receivable does not satisfy the requirements in paragraph (xi) of the definition of “Eligible Receivable” in the TAA or becomes a Diluted Government Program Receivable, then, in any such case, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a Purchase Price Credit in an amount equal the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (determined without giving effect to any write-off with respect thereto). If any Purchase Price Credit to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.3 exceeds the Purchase Price of the Receivables to be sold hereunder on any date, then the Seller shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit to the Purchaser in cash on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if the Termination Date has not occurred, the Seller shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note.

(b)     Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Purchaser, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor which was included in a Purchase hereunder (starting with the oldest such Receivable) before being applied to any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 2.4. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Purchaser, upon demand, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at a rate equal to 2% per annum plus the Base Rate. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Any computations by the Purchaser of amounts payable by the Seller hereunder shall be binding upon the Seller absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.5. Transfer of Records to Purchaser. (a) In connection with the Purchases of Receivables hereunder, the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Purchaser all of the Seller’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables included in any Purchase hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with any such Purchase. In connection with such transfer, the Seller hereby grants to each of the Purchaser and the Collection Agent (including, without limitation, any successor Collection Agent appointed in accordance with the TAA) an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software now or hereafter used by the Seller to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by others and used by the Seller under license agreements with respect thereto (the “Software”). As of the date hereof, with respect to all Software now existing, either (i) no consent by any licensor of the Seller to such grant is required, (ii) if any such consent is required, such consent has been obtained, or (iii) the data administered and managed with the use of such Software is in a form such that other types of software that are generally available may be used to administer and manage such data in the same fashion as then being administered and managed with the applicable Software. If after the date hereof the consent by any licensor of the Seller to such

14


grant shall be required, the Seller shall promptly obtain such consent. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall not expire until the date on which this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms.

(b)     The Seller shall take such action requested by the Purchaser and/or the Agent, from time to time hereafter, that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Purchaser (and its assignees) has (i) an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from the Seller hereunder and (ii) an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

SECTION 2.6. Protection of Ownership Interest of the Purchaser. (a) The Seller agrees that it will, and will cause each Transferring Affiliate to, from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be necessary or as the Purchaser or the Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect or protect the ownership interest of the Purchaser in the Receivables and Related Assets with respect thereto or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, upon the request of the Purchaser or the Agent, in order to accurately reflect the purchase and sale of the Receivables and Related Assets hereunder, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof as may be requested by the Purchaser or the Agent. The Seller shall, upon request of the Purchaser or the Agent, obtain such additional search reports as the Purchaser or the Agent shall request. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Purchaser and the Agent shall be permitted to sign and file continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any Transferring Affiliate to, change its respective name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-507 of the UCC as in effect in any applicable state) nor relocate its respective chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given each of the Purchaser and the Agent at least thirty (30) days prior notice thereof and (ii) prepared at Seller’s expense and delivered to each of the Purchaser and the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents necessary to preserve and protect the Purchaser’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Assets with respect thereto or requested by the Purchaser or the Agent in connection with such change or relocation. Any filings under the UCC or otherwise that are occasioned by such change in name or location shall be made at the expense of the Seller.

(b)    In addition and without limiting the authority of the Purchaser or the Agent set forth in subsection (a) above, but subject to subsection (c) below, the Seller shall, and shall cause each Transferring Affiliate to (i) instruct any or all of the Special Account Banks (which instructions shall be maintained in full force and effect) to transfer directly to the Concentration Account or to an Intermediate Concentration Account, all Collections from time to time on deposit in the applicable Special Accounts on a daily basis in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Special Account Letter, and (ii) instruct each Intermediate Concentration Account Bank (which instructions shall be maintained in full force and effect at all times) to transfer directly to the Concentration Account all Collections from time to time on deposit in the applicable Intermediate Concentration Accounts on a daily basis in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Intermediate Concentration Account Agreement. In the

15


event the Seller shall at any time determine, for any of the reasons described in subsection (c) below, that the Seller or any Transferring Affiliate shall be unable to comply fully with the requirements of this subsection (b), the Seller shall promptly so advise the Purchaser and the Agent, and the Purchaser, the Agent and the Seller shall commence discussions with a view toward implementing an alternative arrangement therefor satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Agent.

(c)     Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all Medicare or Medicaid payments which are made by an Obligor with respect to any Receivables shall be collected from such Obligor only by (i) the applicable Originating Entity or (ii) an agent of such Originating Entity, except to the extent that an Obligor may be required to submit any such payments directly to a Person other than such Originating Entity pursuant to a court-ordered 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.

SECTION 2.7. Additional Transferring Affiliates. (a) If (i) one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Seller (other than the Transferring Affiliates) now owned or hereafter acquired, is primarily engaged in the same business as is conducted on the date hereof by the Seller and the Transferring Affiliates or (ii) the Seller reorganizes its corporate structure such that facilities generating Receivables on the date hereof (or acquired as contemplated by clause (i)) are owned by one or more additional wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Seller, any or all of the wholly-owned subsidiaries referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) may, with the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), become Transferring Affiliates under this Agreement upon delivery to the Purchaser and the Agent of (x) counterparts of the Transferring Affiliate Letter duly executed by such subsidiary or subsidiaries and (y) the documents relating to such subsidiary or subsidiaries of the kind delivered by or on behalf of the Transferring Affiliates pursuant to Section 4.1, together with such other instruments, documents and agreements as either the Purchaser or the Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.

(b)     Upon the addition of any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller as a Transferring Affiliate pursuant to subsection (a) above, the provisions of this Agreement, including Exhibit J, shall, without further act or documentation, be deemed amended to apply to such subsidiary to the same extent as the same apply to the Transferring Affiliates as of the date hereof and the term “Transferring Affiliate” in this Agreement shall mean and refer to such subsidiary as well as each then existing Transferring Affiliate.

SECTION 2.8. Letters of Credit. (a) Upon the request of the Seller, and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the TAA (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Purchaser agrees to request one or more L/C Issuers to issue, on any date of Purchase specified by the Seller, Letters of Credit in favor of the beneficiaries specified by the Seller. The aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on the date of any Purchase on behalf of the Seller shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to the Seller on the date of such Purchase

16


pursuant to Section 2.1. To the extent that the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Settlement Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to the Seller on such Settlement Date, such excess shall be deemed to be a (i) reduction in the outstanding principal balance of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the Subordinated Note payable to the Seller and/or (ii) a reduction in the Purchase Price payable on the date of any Purchase immediately following the date any such Letter of Credit is issued. In the event that any such Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its face amount undrawn, (ii) has its face amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the Purchaser’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount, such decrease or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid by the Purchaser in cash to the Seller on the next Settlement Date or, if the Purchaser does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be (x) first, added to the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Note issued to the Seller to the extent that such addition would not cause the Purchaser’s net worth to be less than the Minimum Net Worth, and (y) second¸ a Capital Contribution to the capital of the Purchaser. Under no circumstances shall the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Purchaser)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b)     In the event that the Seller requests one or more Letters of Credit hereunder, the Seller shall on a timely basis provide the Purchaser with such information as is necessary for the Purchaser to obtain such Letters of Credit from one or more L/C Issuers, and shall otherwise comply with any requests for information made by the Purchaser or the applicable L/C Issuers to facilitate the issuance of such Letters of Credit.

(c)     The Seller acknowledges the limitations on liability of each L/C Issuer contained in the TAA, including, without limitation, under Section 2.22 thereof.

(a) It is the intention of the parties that each Purchase hereunder 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 this Agreement should be deemed a financing and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing a “Recharacterization”), 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 now or hereafter arising that are sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(b)          In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Seller and the Purchaser represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and the Purchaser. In addition, to further protect the interests of the Purchaser and its assigns, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser (for the benefit of itself and the other Indemnified Parties) a first priority perfected and continuing security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the 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 Seller hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents

43


(including, without limitation, all indemnification and other obligations of the Seller under Article VIII of this Agreement). The Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser all of its rights and remedies under the Transferring Affiliate Letter (and all instruments, documents and agreements executed in connection therewith) with respect to the Receivables and the Related Assets and with respect to any obligations thereunder of any Originating Entity with respect to the Receivables and the Related Assets (including, without limitation, all security interests granted by the Transferring Affiliates under the Transferring Affiliate Letter and all indemnification obligations of the Transferring Affiliates under Section 17 of the Transferring Affiliate Letter).

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.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE

E-1


Subordinated Revolving Note

Lexington, Massachusetts

August 28, 1997

1.            Note. For value received, the undersigned, NMC Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of National Medical Care, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Lender), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the Collection Date (as defined below) the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all Revolving Loans made from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 28, 1997 between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Purchase Agreement). Reference to Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. The Collection Date shall be the later to occur of (i) the Termination Date under that certain Transfer and Administration Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the TAA) among the Borrower, Enterprise Funding Corporation (the Company), certain Bank Investors from time to time party thereto (together with the Company, the Investors), National Medical Care, Inc. as Collection Agent and NationsBank, NA., as Agent for the Investors, and (ii) the date all of the Aggregate Unpaids under the TAA shall have been repaid in full and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Investors and the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith shall have been indefeasibly satisfied in full (such Aggregate Unpaids and other obligations being the Senior Claim). All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2.            Interest.

(a)          The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount of any Revolving Loans from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate per annum equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (as reported in the Bloomberg proprietary online service) plus 1.5% (the Interest Rate). The Interest Rate shall be re-set on the first Business Day of each month, based on the rate reported in Bloomberg on that date, and the re-set rate shall be in effect during the month then beginning.

(b)          If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any principal hereof, the Borrower promises to, on demand, pay interest at the rate of the Interest Rate plus 1.0% on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment.

(c)          Interest shall be payable on the first calendar day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day) in arrears, provided, however, that the Borrower may elect, on the date any interest payment is due hereunder, to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Revolving Note.

Page 1


3.           Principal Payments.

(a)          The outstanding principal of any loan made under this Subordinated Revolving Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

(b)          The Lender is authorized and directed by the Borrower to enter in the Lender’s books and records the date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Revolving Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of the Lender to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

4.            Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Revolving Note is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Borrower’s obligations under the TAA. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, the Agent and the Investors and/or any of their assignees (collectively, the Senior Claimants) under the TAA. Until the Collection Date, the Lender shall not demand, accelerate, sue for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment or security of all or any of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Revolving Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same. The Lender hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Borrower any proceeding of the type constituting an Event of Bankruptcy unless and until the date that is one year and one day after the Collection Date has occurred. Nothing in this paragraph shall restrict the Borrower from paying, or the Lender from requesting, any payments under this Subordinated Revolving Note so long as (i) the Borrower is not required under the TAA to set aside the funds proposed to be used for such payments for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over such funds to, any of the Senior Claimants, (ii) no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and then be continuing under the TAA and no Collection Agent Default shall have occurred and then be continuing under the TAA and (iii) the making of such payment would not otherwise violate the terms and provisions of either the Purchase Agreement or the TAA. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by the Lender in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

5.            Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Bankruptcy involving the Borrower as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of the Senior Claim (including Discount accruing under the TAA after the commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Discount is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before the Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of this Subordinated Revolving Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all

Page 2


indebtedness under this Subordinated Revolving Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

6.            Amendments. This Subordinated Revolving Note shall not be amended, modified or terminated except in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

7.            Governing Law. This Subordinated Revolving Note shall be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of New York. Wherever possible each provision of this Subordinated Revolving Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Subordinated Revolving Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Subordinated Revolving Note.

8.            Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. The Lender additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this Subordinated Revolving Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.

9.            Assignment. This Subordinated Revolving Note may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred to any party without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such attempted transfer shall be void.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is routinely involved in 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 health care services and products. Legal matters that the Company currently deems to be material or noteworthy are described below. The Company records its litigation reserves for certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters to the extent that the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. For the other matters described below, the Company believes that the loss probability is remote and/or the loss or range of possible losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always difficult to predict accurately 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.

Beginning in 2012, the Company received certain communications alleging conduct in countries outside the United States that might violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other anti-bribery laws. The Company conducted investigations with the assistance of outside counsel and, in a continuing dialogue, advised the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) about these investigations. The DOJ and the SEC also conducted their own investigations, in which the Company cooperated. In the course of this dialogue, the Company identified and reported to the DOJ and the SEC, and took remedial actions with respect to, conduct that resulted in the DOJ and the SEC seeking monetary penalties including disgorgement of profits and other remedies. This conduct revolved principally around the Company's products business in countries outside the United States.

F-1


On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement (“NPA”) with the DOJ and a separate agreement with the SEC intended to resolve fully and finally the U.S. government allegations against the Company arising from the investigations. Both agreements included terms starting August 2, 2019. The DOJ NPA is scheduled to terminate on August 2, 2022 and the dismissal of the SEC Order is scheduled to occur on November 30, 2022. The Company paid a combined total in penalties and disgorgement of approximately $231,715 (€205,854) to the DOJ and the SEC in connection with these agreements. The entire amount paid to the DOJ and the SEC was reserved for in charges that the Company recorded in 2017 and 2018 and announced in 2018. As part of the resolution, the Company agreed to certain self-reporting obligations and to retain an independent compliance monitor. Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the monitorship program faced certain delays, but the Company is working to have all its obligations under the resolution with the DOJ and SEC completed in 2022.

In 2015, the Company self-reported to the German prosecutor conduct with a potential nexus to Germany and continues to cooperate with government authorities in Germany in their review of the conduct that prompted the Company's and United States government investigations.

Since 2012, the Company has made and continues to make further significant investments in its compliance and financial controls and in its compliance, legal and financial organizations. The Company's remedial actions included separation from those employees responsible for the above-mentioned conduct. The Company is dealing with post-FCPA review matters on various levels. The Company continues to be fully committed to compliance with the FCPA and other applicable anti-bribery laws.

On October 30, 2020, Mexico’s primary social security and health care agency filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Boston) asserting claims for common law fraud against the Company and FMCH. 2020 Civ. 11927-IT (E. D. Mass.). The allegations of the complaint rely on the Company’s resolution under the FCPA. After both FMCH and the Company moved to dismiss the complaint, the plaintiff moved on June 23, 2021 to dismiss the complaint voluntarily without prejudice. The court granted plaintiff’s motion the same day.

FMCH's insurers agreed to the settlement in 2017 of personal injury litigation related to FMCH's Granuflo® and Naturalyte® acid concentrate products and funded $220,000 (€179,284) of the settlement fund under a reciprocal reservation of rights. FMCH accrued a net expense of $60,000 (€48,896) in connection with the settlement, including legal fees and other anticipated costs. Following the settlement, FMCH's insurers in the AIG group initiated litigation against FMCH seeking to be indemnified by FMCH for their $220,000 (€179,284) outlay and FMCH initiated litigation against the AIG group to recover defense and indemnification costs FMCH had borne. National Union Fire Insurance v. Fresenius Medical Care, 2016 Index No. 653108 (Supreme Court of New York for New York County).

Discovery in the litigation is complete. The AIG group abandoned certain of its coverage claims and submitted expert reports on damages asserting that, if AIG prevails on all its remaining claims, it should recover $60,000 (€48,896). FMCH contests all of AIG’s claims and submitted expert reports supporting rights to recover $108,000 (€88,012) from AIG, in addition to the $220,000 (€179,284) already funded. A trial date has not been set in the matter.

In August 2014, FMCH received a subpoena from the United States Attorney’s Office (“USAO”) for the District of Maryland inquiring into FMCH's contractual arrangements with hospitals and physicians involving contracts relating to the management of in-patient acute dialysis services. On August 27, 2020, after the USAO declined to pursue the matter by intervening, the United States District Court for Maryland unsealed a 2014 relator’s qui tam complaint that gave rise to the investigation. United States ex rel. Martin Flanagan v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., 2014 Civ. 00665 (D. Maryland). The relator has served the complaint and litigation is proceeding. In response to FMCH’s motion to dismiss the unsealed

F-2


complaint, the relator filed an amended complaint on February 5, 2021 making broad allegations about financial relationships between FMCH and nephrologists.

In July 2015, the Attorney General for Hawaii issued a civil complaint under the Hawaii False Claims Act alleging a conspiracy pursuant to which certain Liberty Dialysis subsidiaries of FMCH overbilled Hawaii Medicaid for Liberty's Epogen® administrations to Hawaii Medicaid patients during the period from 2006 through 2010, prior to the time of FMCH's acquisition of Liberty. Hawaii v. Liberty Dialysis—Hawaii, LLC et al., Case No. 15-1-1357-07 (Hawaii 1st Circuit). The State alleges that Liberty acted unlawfully by relying on incorrect and unauthorized billing guidance provided to Liberty by Xerox State Healthcare LLC, which acted as Hawaii's contracted administrator for its Medicaid program reimbursement operations during the relevant period. With discovery concluded, the State has specified that its demands for relief relate to $7,700 (€6,275) in overpayments on approximately twenty thousand “claims” submitted by Liberty. After prevailing on motions by Xerox to preclude it from doing so, FMCH is pursuing third-party claims for contribution and indemnification against Xerox. The State's False Claims Act complaint was filed after Liberty initiated an administrative action challenging the State's recoupment of alleged overpayments from sums currently owed to Liberty. The civil litigation and administrative action are proceeding in parallel. Trial in the civil litigation has been postponed because of COVID-19-related administrative issues and has been rescheduled for January 2022.

On August 31, 2015, FMCH received a subpoena under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado (Denver) inquiring into FMCH’s participation in and management of dialysis facility joint ventures in which physicians are partners. FMCH continues to cooperate in the Denver USAO investigation, which has come to focus on purchases and sales of minority interests in ongoing outpatient facilities between FMCH and physician groups.

On November 25, 2015, FMCH received a subpoena under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn) also inquiring into FMCH’s involvement in certain dialysis facility joint ventures in New York. On September 26, 2018, the Brooklyn USAO declined to intervene on the qui tam complaint filed under seal in 2014 that gave rise to this investigation. CKD Project LLC v. Fresenius Medical Care, 2014 Civ. 06646 (E.D.N.Y. November 12, 2014). The court unsealed the complaint, allowing the relator to proceed on its own. On January 27, 2021, the Magistrate Judge recommended dismissal of the complaint with prejudice and without leave to amend. The relator is appealing the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation.

Beginning October 6, 2015, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn) has led an investigation, through subpoenas issued under the False Claims Act, of utilization and invoicing by FMCH’s subsidiary Azura Vascular Care for a period beginning after FMCH’s acquisition of American Access Care LLC ("AAC") in October 2011. FMCH is cooperating in the Brooklyn USAO investigation. The Brooklyn USAO has indicated that its investigation is nationwide in scope and is focused on whether certain access procedures performed at Azura facilities were medically unnecessary and whether certain physician assistants employed by Azura exceeded their permissible scope of practice. Allegations against AAC arising in districts in Connecticut, Florida and Rhode Island relating to utilization and invoicing were settled in 2015.

On November 18, 2016, FMCH received a subpoena under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn) seeking documents and information relating to the operations of Shiel Medical Laboratory, Inc. (“Shiel”), which FMCH acquired in October 2013. In the course of cooperating in the investigation and preparing to respond to the subpoena, FMCH identified falsifications and misrepresentations in documents submitted by a Shiel salesperson that relate to the integrity of certain invoices submitted by Shiel for laboratory testing for patients in long term care facilities. On February 21, 2017, FMCH terminated the employee and notified the United States Attorney of the termination and its circumstances. The terminated employee's conduct is expected to result in demands for

F-3


FMCH to refund overpayments and to pay related penalties under applicable laws, but the monetary value of such payment demands cannot yet be reasonably estimated. FMCH contends that, under the asset sale provisions of its 2013 Shiel acquisition, it is not responsible for misconduct by the terminated employee or other Shiel employees prior to the date of the acquisition. The Brooklyn USAO continues to investigate a range of issues involving Shiel, including allegations of improper compensation (kickbacks) to physicians, and has disclosed that multiple sealed qui tam complaints underlie the investigation.

On December 12, 2017, FMCH sold to Quest Diagnostics certain Shiel operations that are the subject of this Brooklyn subpoena, including the misconduct reported to the United States Attorney. Under the Quest Diagnostics sale agreement, FMCH retains responsibility for responding to the Brooklyn investigation and for liabilities arising from conduct occurring after its 2013 acquisition of Shiel and prior to its sale of Shiel to Quest Diagnostics. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

In May 2017, the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee (Nashville) issued identical subpoenas to FMCH and two subsidiaries under the False Claims Act concerning FMCH's retail pharmaceutical business. The subpoenas, and the subsequent investigation in which FMCH cooperated, were apparently predicated on but were not limited to a complaint filed on November 6, 2015 by two former employees. United States ex rel. Keasler et al. v. Fresenius Medical Care Rx, LLC, 03:15-Civ-01183 (M.D. Tenn. 2015). On July 9, 2021, the United States declined to intervene in the matter. On July 13, 2021, the Court allowed the relators’ complaint to be unsealed. The relators may elect to serve the complaint.

On March 12, 2018, Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd. and Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma France S.A.S. (collectively, “VFMCRP”) (see note 3), filed a complaint for patent infringement against Lupin Atlantis Holdings SA and Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively, “Lupin”), and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case 1:18-cv-00390-MN, “first complaint”). The patent infringement action is in response to Lupin and Teva’s filings of Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA") with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for generic versions of Velphoro®. Velphoro® is protected by patents listed in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also known as the Orange Book. The complaint was filed within the 45-day period provided for under the Hatch-Waxman legislation, and triggered a stay of FDA approval of the ANDAs for 30 months (specifically, up to July 29, 2020 for Lupin’s ANDA; and August 6, 2020 for Teva’s ANDA. In response to another ANDA being filed for a generic Velphoro®, VFMCRP filed a complaint for patent infringement against Annora Pharma Private Ltd., and Hetero Labs Ltd. (collectively, “Annora”), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on December 17, 2018. The case was settled among the parties, thus terminating the court action on August 4, 2020. On May 26, 2020, VFMCRP filed a further complaint for patent infringement against Lupin in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 1:20-cv-00697-MN) in response to Lupin’s ANDA for a generic version of Velphoro® and on the basis of a newly listed patent in the Orange Book. On July 6, 2020, VFMCRP filed an additional complaint for patent infringement against Lupin and Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 1:20-cv-00911-MN, “second complaint”) in response to the companies’ ANDA for generic versions of Velphoro® and on the basis of two newly listed patents in the Orange Book. All cases involving Lupin as defendant were settled among the parties, thus terminating the corresponding court actions on December 18, 2020. In relation to the remaining pending cases and the defendant Teva, trial took place for the first complaint between January 19 and 22, 2021. Another patent newly listed in the Orange Book was added to the second complaint on June 23, 2021. Trial is scheduled for the second complaint for June 2022.

On December 17, 2018, FMCH was served with a subpoena under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado (Denver) as part of an investigation of allegations against DaVita, Inc. involving transactions between FMCH and DaVita. The subject transactions include sales and purchases of dialysis facilities, dialysis-related products and pharmaceuticals, including dialysis machines and dialyzers, and contracts for certain administrative services. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

F-4


On June 28, 2019, certain FMCH subsidiaries filed a complaint against the United States seeking to recover monies owed to them by the United States Department of Defense under the Tricare program, and to preclude Tricare from recouping monies previously paid. Bio-Medical Applications of Georgia, Inc., et al. v. United States, CA 19-947, United States Court of Federal Claims. Tricare provides reimbursement for dialysis treatments and other medical care provided to members of the military services, their dependents and retirees. The litigation challenges unpublished administrative actions by Tricare administrators reducing the rate of compensation paid for dialysis treatments provided to Tricare beneficiaries based on a recasting or “crosswalking” of codes used and followed in invoicing without objection for many years. Tricare administrators have acknowledged the unpublished administrative action and declined to change or abandon it. On July 8, 2020, the U.S. government filed its answer (and confirmed their position). The parties will proceed to discovery. The court has not yet set a date for trial in this matter. FMCH has imposed a constraint on revenue otherwise recognized from the Tricare program that it believes, in consideration of facts currently known, sufficient to account for the risk of this litigation.

On August 21, 2020, FMCH was served with a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts requesting information and documents related to urgent care centers that FMCH owned, operated, or controlled as part of its ChoiceOne and Medspring urgent care operations prior to its divestiture of and exit from that line of business in 2018. The subpoena appears to be related to an ongoing investigation of alleged upcoding in the urgent care industry, which has resulted in certain published settlements under the federal False Claims Act. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

On March 25, 2021, FMCH received a grand jury subpoena issued from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas). The subpoena seeks documents comprising communications between employees of FMCH and DaVita and partially overlaps in content the 2018 Denver subpoena. The Dallas subpoena is part of a separate investigation by the Anti-Trust Division of the Department of Justice into possible employee “no poaching” and similar agreements to refrain from competition and is related to the indictment in United States v. Surgical Care Affiliates, 3:2021-Cr-0011 (N.D. Tex.) and United States v. DaVita, Inc. et al., 1:21-cr00229 (D.Col.). The unnamed co-conspirators described in the Surgical Care Affiliates and DaVita indictments do not include FMCH, the Company, or any of their employees. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

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, insurance plans and suppliers, 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 marketing and distribution of such products, the operation of manufacturing facilities, laboratories, dialysis clinics and other health care facilities, and environmental and occupational health and safety. With respect to its development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical products, if such compliance is not maintained, the Company could be subject to significant adverse regulatory actions by the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S. These regulatory actions could include warning letters or other enforcement notices from the FDA, and/or comparable foreign regulatory authority which may require the Company to expend significant time and resources in order to implement appropriate corrective actions. If the Company does not address matters raised in warning letters or other enforcement notices to the satisfaction of the FDA and/or comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S., these regulatory authorities could take additional actions, including product recalls, injunctions against the distribution of products or operation of manufacturing plants, civil penalties, seizures of the Company’s products and/or criminal prosecution. FMCH completed remediation efforts with respect to one pending FDA warning letter and is awaiting confirmation as to whether the letter is now closed. The Company must also comply with the laws of the United States, including the federal

F-5


Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act, the federal Stark Law, the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law and the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as 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 whistleblower 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, 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 whistleblower actions, which are initially filed under court seal.

The Company operates many facilities and handles the personal data ("PD") of its patients and beneficiaries throughout the United States and other parts of the world and engages with other business associates to help it carry out its health care activities. 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 and its business associates. On occasion, the Company or its business associates may experience a breach under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule and Security Rules, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and or other similar laws ("Data Protection Laws") when there has been impermissible use, access, or disclosure of unsecured PD or when the Company or its business associates neglect to implement the required administrative, technical and physical safeguards of its electronic systems and devices, or a data breach that results in impermissible use, access or disclosure of personal identifying information of its employees, patients and beneficiaries. On those occasions, the Company must comply with applicable breach notification requirements.

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 its employees. On occasion, the Company may identify instances where employees or other agents deliberately, recklessly or inadvertently contravene the Company’s policies or violate applicable law. The actions of such persons may subject the Company and its subsidiaries to liability under the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, Data Protection Laws, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, among other laws and comparable state laws or laws of other countries.

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 own claims, and claims for indemnification. A successful claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect upon its business, financial condition, 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.

F-6


In Germany, the tax audits for the years 2006 through 2009 have been substantially completed. The German tax authorities have indicated a re-qualification of dividends received in connection with intercompany mandatorily redeemable preferred shares into fully taxable interest payments for these and subsequent years until 2013. The Company has defended its position and will avail itself of appropriate remedies. The Company is also subject to ongoing and future tax audits in the U.S., Germany and other jurisdictions in the ordinary course of business. Tax authorities routinely pursue adjustments to the Company’s tax returns and disallowances of claimed tax deductions. When appropriate, the Company defends these adjustments and disallowances and asserts its own claims. A successful tax related claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect upon its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other than those individual contingent liabilities mentioned above, the current estimated amount of the Company's other known individual contingent liabilities is immaterial.

EXECUTION VERSION

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSFERRING AFFILIATE LETTER

Dated as of August 11, 2021

NATIONAL MEDICAL CARE, INC.

920 Winter Street

Waltham, MA 02451 Attention: Mark Fawcett

Dear Sirs:

We refer to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 11, 2021 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 October 16, 2008 (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 Second 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.     (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 Assets, 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 (i) in cash, (ii) by way of a credit to such Transferring Affiliate in the appropriate intercompany account, (iii) by delivery of one or more Letters of Credit procured by the Seller in such form or forms and for the benefit of such beneficiary or beneficiaries as may have been requested by such Transferring Affiliate or (iv) in any combination of the foregoing, in each case by the last Business Day of the month following the month in which such purchase was made (the related “TAL Settlement Date”). Each purchase of a Receivable and the Related Assets with respect thereto shall be deemed to be made on the date such Receivable is created.


The Seller shall settle from time to time each credit to the account of a Transferring Affiliate by way of (i) payments in cash, (ii) credits in amounts equal to cash expended, obligations incurred or the value of services or property provided by or on behalf of the Seller or (iii) delivery of one or more Letters of Credit procured by the Seller as requested by such Transferring Affiliate, 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 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.

In the event the Seller shall have procured one or more Letters of Credit for a Transferring Affiliate as part of the Intercompany Purchase Price for any Receivables, and the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the aggregate Intercompany Purchase Price payable to such Transferring Affiliate on the related TAL Settlement Date, then an amount equal to such excess shall be debited from the appropriate intercompany account and shall be deemed to be a prepayment for application on a later TAL Settlement Date toward the Intercompany Purchase Price for Receivables subsequently purchased hereunder.

In the event the Seller shall have procured a Letter of Credit for a Transferring Affiliate as part of the Intercompany Purchase Price for any Receivables, and such Letter of Credit (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its face amount undrawn, or (ii) has its face amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder), then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or decrease, as the case may be, shall either be paid by the Seller in cash to such Transferring Affiliate on the next TAL Settlement Date or, if the Seller does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be a credit to such Transferring Affiliate in the appropriate intercompany account.

(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

2


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 and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing a “Recharacterization”), each Transferring Affiliate and the Seller intend that such 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 purportedly sold to the Seller pursuant to this Transferring Affiliate Letter, together with the Related Assets with respect thereto, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, each Transferring Affiliate and the Seller represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections by such Transferring Affiliate to the Seller hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by such Transferring Affiliate in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller and such Transferring Affiliate and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of such Transferring Affiliate and the Seller. 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).

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.

(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.

3


(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

4


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 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 Transferring Affiliate 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:

(a)          Such Transferring Affiliate is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and existing and is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified and where the failure to so qualify would materially and adversely affect the business, condition, operations or properties of such Transferring Affiliate.

(b)          The execution, delivery and performance by such Transferring Affiliate of this Transferring Affiliate Letter are within such Transferring Affiliate’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not contravene (i) such Transferring Affiliate’s charter or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation the Social Security Act, any CHAMPUS Regulation, any Medicaid Regulation or any Medicare Regulation or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction binding on or affecting such Transferring Affiliate or its properties, and do not result in or require the creation of any Adverse Claim (other than

5


pursuant hereto) upon or with respect to any of its properties; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(c)          No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by such Transferring Affiliate of this Transferring Affiliate Letter or for the perfection of or the exercise by the Seller or any assignee thereof of their respective rights and remedies under this Transferring Affiliate Letter, except for the filings of the financing statements referred to in Article IV of the TAA, all of which, on or prior to the date of the initial purchase thereunder, will have been duly made and be in full force and effect.

(d)          This Transferring Affiliate Letter is the legal valid and binding obligation of such Transferring Affiliate enforceable against such Transferring Affiliate in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(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). Upon each such sale of each such Receivable and Related Security hereunder, the Seller will acquire all right, title and interest in and to, and a valid and perfected first priority 100% ownership interest in, such Receivable and Related Security, and Collections with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim except as created by the Agreement (or any subsequent assignment by the assignee thereunder). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering any such Receivable or Related Security, or Collections with respect thereto, is on file in any recording office, except those filed in favor of the Seller relating to the Agreement (or any subsequent assignment by the assignee thereunder).

(f)           Each Investor Report (to the extent that information contained therein is supplied by such Transferring Affiliate), information, exhibit, financial statement, document, book, record or report furnished or to be furnished at any time by such Transferring Affiliate to the Seller or any of its assigns in connection the Agreement is or will be accurate in all material respects as of its date or (except as otherwise disclosed to the Seller or the applicable assignee, as the case may be, at such time) as of the date so furnished, and no such document (if not prepared by or under the direction of such Transferring Affiliate or to the extent that the information contained therein is not supplied by such Transferring Affiliate, to the best of such Transferring Affiliate’s knowledge) contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g)          (i) The chief executive office of such Transferring Affiliate, except NMC Medical Products, Inc., is located at 920 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, and (ii) the office where such Transferring Affiliate keeps its records concerning the Receivables is located at the address specified for such Transferring Affiliate in Exhibit J to the Agreement (or, in the case of each of clauses (i) or (ii) above, at such other locations, notified to the Seller and its assigns in

6


accordance with Section 2.6 of the Agreement, in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 2.6 of the Agreement has been taken and completed).

(h)          The names and addresses of all the Special Account Banks (and, if applicable, the Designated Account Agent in respect thereof), the Intermediate Concentration Account Banks and the Concentration Account Bank, together with the account numbers of the Special Accounts at such Special Account Banks, the account numbers of the Intermediate Concentration Accounts at such Intermediate Concentration Account Banks and the account number of the Concentration Account of the Transferor at the Concentration Account Bank, are specified in writing in the Account Schedule (or at such other Special Account Banks, with such other Special Accounts, Intermediate Concentration Account or with such other Designated Account Agents in respect of which all of the requirements set forth in Section 5.2(e) of the Agreement have been satisfied).

Each Transferring Affiliate acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Agreement and hereby severally represents and warrants that each representation and warranty made by the Seller under the Agreement in respect of such Transferring Affiliate, or in respect of any of the assets or properties of such Transferring Affiliate, is true and correct and shall be true and correct on each date under the Agreement on which the Seller is required to remake (or is deemed to have remade) any such representation and warranty for the benefit of the Purchaser. In addition, with respect to any covenant or undertaking required to be performed by the Seller under the Agreement which relates to any Transferring Affiliate or the assets or properties of such Transferring Affiliate, such Transferring Affiliate severally agrees to take all action, or if applicable to omit to take any action, the taking (or omission to take) of which enables the Seller to comply fully and on a timely basis with the terms and conditions of such covenant or undertaking.

7.            Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, all CHAMPUS/VA, Medicare or Medicaid payments which are made by an Obligor with respect to any Receivables shall be collected from such Obligor only by (i) the Transferring Affiliate which furnished the services for which such payments are made or (ii) an agent of such Transferring Affiliate, except to the extent that an Obligor may be required to submit any such payments directly to a Person other than a Transferring Affiliate pursuant to a court-ordered assignment which is valid, binding and enforceable under applicable federal and state CHAMPUS/VA, Medicare and Medicaid laws, rules and regulations; and this Transferring Affiliate Letter shall not be construed to permit any other Person, in violation of applicable federal and state CHAMPUS/VA, Medicare or Medicaid laws, rules and regulations to collect or receive, or to be entitled to collect or receive, any such payments prior to a Transferring Affiliate’s or such agent’s receipt thereof.

8.            No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Transferring Affiliate Letter, and no consent to any departure by any Transferring Affiliate herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Seller, each assignee of the Seller and the Transferring Affiliate or Transferring Affiliates to be bound thereby (or, in the case of waiver, by the party or parties waiving the provision hereof), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.15 of the TAA, any Transferring Affiliate may be removed as a party hereto if (i) such Transferring Affiliate, the Seller and the Transferor have delivered to each Administrative Agent and the Agent a duly executed

7


supplement substantially in the form attached to this Transferring Affiliate Letter as Exhibit 1 (a “Removal Supplement”) and (ii) such Removal Supplement shall have been acknowledged in writing by the Agent.

9.            All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including writing delivered by way of mail, email, telecopier, telegraphic, telex or cable communication) and mailed, emailed, telecopied, telegraphed, telexed, cabled or delivered, as to each party hereto, at its address set forth, in the case of each Transferring Affiliate, as its chief executive office on Exhibit J to the Agreement; in the case of the Seller, under its name on the signature pages of the Agreement; in the case of any assignee of the Seller, such address as shall have been notified by such assignee to the Transferring Affiliates; or, in the case of each party hereto (or any such assignee), at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Seller and its assignees. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, emailed, telecopied, telegraphed, telexed or cabled, be effective when deposited in the mails, emailed, telecopied, delivered to the telegraph company, confirmed by telex answerback or delivered to the cable company, respectively.

10.          This Transferring Affiliate Letter shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Transferring Affiliate, the Seller and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Transferring Affiliate shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Seller and its assigns.

11.          The Seller may assign at any time any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to any other Person without the consent of the any Transferring Affiliate. Without limiting the foregoing, each Transferring Affiliate acknowledges that (i) the Seller, pursuant to the Agreement, shall assign to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Security, together with all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, (ii) the Purchaser, pursuant to that certain Eighth Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement dated as of August 11, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “TAA”) 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” (together with the Conduit Investors, the “Investors”), the Persons parties thereto as “Administrative Agents” and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), shall assign to the Agent, for the benefit of the Investors, an undivided percentage ownership interest in all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Security, together with all of the Purchaser’s rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, and (iii) the Agent or any Investor may further assign such rights, interests, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the TAA. Each Transferring Affiliate agrees that the Agent, as the assignee of the Seller, shall, subject to the terms of the TAA, have the right to enforce this Transferring Affiliate Letter and to exercise directly all of the Seller’s rights and remedies under this Transferring Affiliate Letter (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of the Seller to be given or withheld hereunder) and each Transferring Affiliate agrees to cooperate fully with the Agent and the Collection Agent in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Each Transferring Affiliate agrees to give to the Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to the Seller hereunder and to permit the Agent and the Investors (and their assignees) to inspect the books and records of such Transferring Affiliate relating to the Receivables and the Related

8


Security at any time, upon reasonable notice given by the Agent or such Investor to the Seller and such Transferring Affiliate. Each Transferring Affiliate agrees that, to the extent the Seller is herein permitted to take any action or to provide any information or report, the Agent and the Investors (and their assignees) may similarly so direct and require (with or without the concurrence of the Seller) such Transferring Affiliate to take such action or to provide such information or report. This Transferring Affiliate Letter shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the date (the “Collection Date”) that the TAA shall be terminated in accordance with its terms and all “Aggregate Unpaids” thereunder paid in full; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Transferring Affiliate hereunder shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Transferring Affiliate Letter.

12.          Each Transferring Affiliate hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any Conduit Investor, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. Each Transferring Affiliate further covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the Collection Date, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Conduit Investor” shall include each party identified as a Conduit Investor for purposes of Section 10.9 of the TAA. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13.          No failure on the part of the Seller or any assignee thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

14.          This Transferring Affiliate Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the perfection of the interests of the Seller and its assigns, or remedies hereunder, in respect of the Receivables, any Related Security or any Collections in respect thereof, are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

15.          The Seller and each of its assignees (including the Agent) is hereby authorized by each of the Transferring Affiliates and the Seller to demand specific performance of this Transferring Affiliate Letter at any time when any of the Transferring Affiliates or the Seller shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Transferring Affiliate Letter applicable to any such Transferring Affiliate or the Seller. Each of the Transferring Affiliates and the Seller hereby irrevocable waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

9


16.          This Transferring Affiliate Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart via email or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original counterpart.

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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transferring Affiliates, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

(i)    any representation or warranty made by any Parent Group Member (including any Parent Group Member, in its capacity as the Collection Agent) or any officers of any Parent Group Member (including any Parent Group Member, in its capacity as the Collection Agent) under or in connection with this Transferring Affiliate Letter or any of the other Transaction Documents, any Investor Report or any other information or report delivered by any Parent Group Member pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

(ii)   the failure by any Parent Group Member (including any Parent Group Member, in its capacity as the Collection Agent) to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, any CHAMPUS/VA Regulation, any Medicaid Regulation or any Medicare Regulation), including with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

10

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

FORM OF ACCOUNT AGENT AGREEMENT

[Attached]

K-1


ACCOUNT AGENT AGREEMENT

Account Agent Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 11, 2021, 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 The Bank of Nova Scotia, 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 Second Amended and Restated Transferring Affiliate Letter dated as of August 11, 2021 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Transferring Affiliate Letter”) 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 Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 11, 2021 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Receivables Agreement”) 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, to NMC Funding in accordance with the terms thereof.

(3)          NMC Funding has entered into that certain Eighth Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement dated as of August 11, 2021 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “TAA”) with NMC, as the “Collection Agent” thereunder, certain “Investors” and “Administrative Agents” from time to time party thereto (together, 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.

(4)          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.

(5)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.

— 1 —


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, 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.

— 2 —


(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.

Section 2.             Acknowledgment of Interest. Each Titleholder acknowledges (i) that it has received a copy of each of the Transferring Affiliate Letter, the Receivables Agreement and the TAA, (ii) the ownership and related interests transferred to each of NMC, NMC Funding and the Agent, for the benefit of the Investors, thereunder and (iii) that for purposes of Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-313, it has received adequate notice of each of such interests.

Section 3.             Covenants. At all times from the date hereof to the Collection Date, unless each of NMC Funding and the Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, each Titleholder agrees that:

(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.

(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

— 3 —


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.
