Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

The parties hereto desire to further amend and restate the Existing Agreement as of the date hereof and to continue the security interest created in Original Agreement and continued in the Existing Agreement.

Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE CREDIT

Section 1.1 The Facility . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Borrower (or the Servicer on Borrower’s behalf) may from time to time during the Revolving Period request Advances by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Co-Agents in accordance with Section 2.1.

(a) If any Co-Agent’s Group includes a Conduit, then upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Request from Borrower or Servicer, such Co-Agent shall determine whether its Conduit will make a Loan in an amount equal to its Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Request, and in the event that its Conduit elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, such Co-Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Request (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall apply to all Lenders), each of the related Conduit’s Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of such Conduit’s Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Conduit’s Liquidity Banks’ Commitments, and (ii) such Conduit Group’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Conduit Allocation Limit” ).

(b) If any Co-Agent’s Group does not include a Conduit, the Lenders in such Group shall, unless the Borrower has canceled its Borrowing Request pursuant to clause (a) above, make a Loan in an amount equal to its Percentage of the requested Advance, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans at any time outstanding exceed the applicable Allocation Limit.

(c) Each Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $500,000. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Advances hereunder exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base. Each Committed Lender’s Commitment under this Agreement shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date. Each of the Loans, and all other Obligations of Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article XIII.

Section 1.2 Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings .

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made by each Group and (except for any Advance which does not increase the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding) shall be made in such proportions by each Group such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans outstanding from each Group shall be in proportion to such Group’s Percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Advances then outstanding hereunder. Any Advance which does not increase the aggregate principal amount outstanding may be funded solely by one or more of the members of a single Group.

(b) Each Lender funding any portion of an Advance shall wire transfer the principal amount of its Loan to its applicable Co-Agent in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date and, subject to its receipt of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall wire transfer such funds to the account specified by Borrower in its Borrowing Request not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing Date; provided that a Lender may wire transfer its portion of an Advance directly to the Borrower for receipt by 2:00 p.m.

(c) While it is the intent of each of the Conduits, if any, to fund its respective Loans through the issuance of Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that, when applicable, if any Conduit is unable, or determines in its reasonable business judgment that it is undesirable for any reason to issue Commercial Paper to fund or maintain all or any portion of its Loans at a CP Rate, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit or its related Liquidity Bank will fund such Loan, or a portion thereof, as a Liquidity Funding. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, or a combination thereof; provided, however, that each Liquidity Funding shall be an Alternate Base Rate Loan at least for the first two (2) Business Days after it is funded. In addition, the parties acknowledge that Commercial Paper is issued at a discount and at varying discount rates; accordingly, it may not be possible for all CP Rate Loans to be made in amounts precisely equal to the amounts specified in a Borrowing Request. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes an assignment of a Loan or the sale of one or more participations therein or any other obtaining of funding for all or any portion of any Loan, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the same rights as its Conduit has hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Liquidity Bank had directly made a Loan to Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Lender to make CP Rate Loans and it is contemplated that each Loan made by a Lender that is not a Conduit or acting in its role as a Liquidity Bank shall be either an Alternate Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, or a combination thereof, as specified in the Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided herein.

Section 1.3 Interest Rates .

(a) Each CP Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of each CP Tranche Period to (and including) the last day of such CP Tranche Period at the applicable CP Rate. On the 5th Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Co-Agent whose Group includes a Conduit shall calculate the amount of CP Costs for its Conduit for the applicable CP Tranche Period and each shall notify Borrower of such amount which shall be payable on such Settlement Date.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(b) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR for such LIBOR Loan and such Interest Period (or in the case of a LIBOR Loan which is a LMIR Loan, at the LIBOR Market Index Rate for each day in such Interest Period, including the last day of such Interest Period); provided that (i) the applicable Co-Agent has received the notice as and when required under Section 2.2(b) and (ii) the applicable Co-Agent determines that circumstance described in Section 2.2(c) does not exist.

(c) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such Alternate Base Rate Loan for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 1.3(a), (b) or (c), upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event, and during the continuance thereof, all Obligations shall bear interest, payable upon demand, at the Default Rate.

(e) Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received by each Lender (or where such Lender is a Conduit, its Co-Agent) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Section 1.4 Payment Dates; Absence of Notes to Evidence Loans .

(a) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each CP Rate Loan on the last day of its CP Tranche Period.

(b) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each LIBOR Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

(c) Borrower promises to pay the principal of each Alternate Base Rate Loan on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Facility Termination Date, and (ii) the refinancing of such Loan with a CP Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan.

(d) Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan for each Settlement Period or CP Tranche Period on its applicable Settlement Date(s).

(e) Each Lender shall maintain (or cause its respective Co-Agent to maintain) in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

Upon request of Borrower, such Lender’s Co-Agent or the Administrative Agent, such Lender will confirm the outstanding principal balances of its Loans and the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall absent manifest error be correct evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender (or Co-Agent) to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

Section 1.5 Prepayments . Subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, to the funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3:

(a) Borrower may from time to time voluntarily prepay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), any portion of the outstanding Advances by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Co-Agents in the form of Exhibit XII hereto (each, a “ Prepayment Notice ”): (i) given within the Required Notice Period and (ii) providing for, in the case of LIBOR Loans, such prepayment to occur on the last day of the Interest Period for any Lender’s LIBOR Loans so prepaid; provided that each such prepayment of principal complying with the provisions of this section or otherwise is accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, together with all amounts (if any) due under Section 4.3 and any Broken Funding Costs (if any) due because of such prepayment, and is made between the Lenders in such proportions so that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans outstanding from each Lender shall be in proportion to such Lender’s percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Advances then outstanding hereunder.

(b) If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from any Group exceeds such Group’s Allocation Limit, then in each case Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the relevant Lender (or in the case of a Lender in a Conduit Group, the relevant Co- Agent (for distribution to its Constituent Lenders)) received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day thereafter of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid.

(c) Upon receipt of any wire transfer pursuant to Section 1.5(a) or (b), the applicable Co-Agent shall wire transfer to each of its Constituent Lenders their respective shares thereof not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when received. Any prepayment required pursuant to Section 1.5 (b) shall be applied in such order as each Co-Agent may determine.

Section 1.6 Changes in Aggregate Commitment .

(a) Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or ratably between the Groups in part, in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Co-Agents in the form of Exhibit VII-l hereto (each, a “ Commitment Reduction Notice ”),

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

which notice shall specify the aggregate amount of any such reduction and the Committed Lenders’ respective amounts thereof, provided, however, that (a) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Principal unless accompanied by a prepayment pursuant to Section 1.5 in the amount necessary to ensure that the Aggregate Principal does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (b) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below $100,000,000 unless the Aggregate Commitment is terminated in full. All accrued and unpaid fees, including Broken Funding Costs, if any, shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment. Each Commitment Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Co-Agents.

(b) At any time prior to the Facility Termination Date, Borrower may request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment (up to an Aggregate Commitment not to exceed $500,000,000) ratably between the Groups (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 1.6 (b)), in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice to the Co-Agents in the form of Exhibit VII-2 hereto (each, a “Commitment Increase Request” ), which request shall specify the aggregate amount of any such increase and the Committed Lenders’ proposed respective amounts thereof. On or within thirty (30) Business Days after its receipt of a Commitment Increase Request, each of the Co-Agents shall notify Borrower in writing in the form of Exhibit VII-3 hereto (each, a “Commitment Increase Response” ) as to whether the Lenders in its Group, in their sole and absolute discretion, will agree to such Group’s requested increase in whole or in part. Failure by any Co-Agent to issue a Commitment Increase Response within such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be deemed to constitute a denial by the Lenders in such Co-Agent’s Group. If any of the Co-Agents issues a Commitment Increase Response that is affirmative, in whole or in part, the agreed portion of the increase requested from its Group will become effective on the thirtieth (30 ^th ) Business Day after the date of the applicable Commitment Increase Request. If any of the Co-Agents issues a Commitment Increase Response that is negative, in whole or in part, or fails to issue a timely Commitment Increase Response, Borrower may request each other Co-Agent (on behalf of its Group) to agree to the declined portion of such increase by issuing another Commitment Increase Request pursuant to this Section 1.6 (b).

Section 1.7 Distribution of Certain Notices; Notification of Interest Rates . Promptly after receipt thereof, each Co-Agent will notify its Constituent Lenders of the contents of each Monthly Report, Borrowing Request, Commitment Reduction Notice, Prepayment Notice, notice of default or other notice received by it from Borrower or the Servicer hereunder. In addition, each of the Co-Agents shall promptly notify its Constituent Lenders and Borrower of each determination of and change in Interest Rates and of any decision by the Liquidity Banks in its Group, if any, not to extend their Liquidity Termination Date. Each Co-Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of each determination of and change in Interest Rate.

Section 1.8 Extension of the Scheduled Termination Date .

(a)(i) Provided that no Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event exists and is continuing, Borrower may request the Lenders in each Group to extend by a calendar year their Scheduled Termination Date by submitting a request for such extension (each, an “ Anniversary Extension Request ”) to the Co-Agents at least 35 days and no more than 90 days prior to each anniversary of the Effectiveness Date.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

Each Anniversary Extension Request must specify the new Scheduled Termination Date that gives effect to the calendar year extension and the date as of which the Co-Agents (on behalf of their respective Constituent Lenders) must respond to the Anniversary Extension Request (the “ Anniversary Response Date ”). The Anniversary Response Date must be at least 30 days after the Anniversary Extension Request is delivered to the Co-Agents.

(ii) Promptly upon receipt of an Anniversary Extension Request, each Co-Agent shall notify its Constituent Lenders of the receipt thereof and shall request each applicable Lender to approve such Anniversary Extension Request. Each applicable Lender approving such Anniversary Extension Request shall deliver its written approval to its Co-Agent no later than the Anniversary Response Date, whereupon such Co-Agent shall notify the other Co-Agents(s) and Borrower within one Business Day thereafter as to which (if any) of such Co-Agent’s applicable Lenders have approved such Anniversary Extension Request.

(iii) If any Lender does not approve the Anniversary Extension Request, its Co-Agent shall promptly notify the other Co-Agent(s), if applicable, and Borrower, and the Anniversary Extension Request shall be deemed denied and the Scheduled Termination Date shall remain unchanged. If all applicable Lenders approve the Anniversary Extension Request by the Anniversary Response Date, the calendar year extension of the Scheduled Termination Date shall become effective on the Anniversary Response Date, and each of the Co-Agents shall promptly notify Borrower and the other Co-Agent(s), if any, of the applicable Lenders’ new Scheduled Termination Date.

(b)(i) Provided that no Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event exists and is continuing, Borrower may also request one or more Liquidity Bank(s) to extend its Scheduled Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “ Extension Request ” ) to the Co-Agents no more than 90 days prior to each Liquidity Bank’s respective Scheduled Termination Date then in effect. Each Extension Request must specify the new Scheduled Termination Date requested by Borrower for such Liquidity Bank(s) and the date (which must be at least 30 days after the Extension Request is delivered to the Co-Agents) as of which the Co-Agents and the applicable Liquidity Bank(s) must respond to the Extension Request (the “ Response Date ” ).

(ii) Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, each Co-Agent shall notify its Constituent Lenders of the receipt thereof and shall request each applicable Liquidity Bank to approve such Extension Request. Each applicable Liquidity Bank approving such Extension Request shall deliver its written approval to its Co-Agent no later than the Response Date, whereupon such Co-Agent shall notify the other Co-Agents(s) and Borrower within one Business Day thereafter as to which (if any) of such Co-Agent’s applicable Constituent Liquidity Banks have approved such Extension Request.

(iii) If any Liquidity Bank does not approve the Extension Request (each such non-approving Liquidity Bank, a “ Non-Approving Lender ” ), the Co-Agent for such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Co-Agent(s), and the Borrower shall have the right to (x) require such Non-Approving Lender to assign all, but not less than all, of its Commitment and outstanding Obligations by entering into written assignments with one or more Eligible Assignees not later than such Non-Approving Lender’s existing Scheduled Termination Date,

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

or (y) to pay in full all Obligations (if any) owing to such Non-Approving Lender and terminate its Commitment no later than such Non-Approving Lender’s existing Scheduled Termination Date. Each assignment pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(x) above to an Eligible Assignee (which may include a Constituent of another Co-Agent) shall become effective on the existing Scheduled Termination Date and, subject to receipt of payment in full on such exiting Scheduled Termination Date of all Obligations, if any, owing to such Non-Approving Lender, such Non-Approving Lender shall make each such requested assignment; provided, that any amount which would be owing to such Non-Approving Lender pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof shall be payable by the Borrower as if the Borrower had prepaid the Loans of the assigning Lenders. If no assignment of a Non-Approving Lender’s Commitment to an Eligible Assignee is executed pursuant to clause (b)(iii)(x) above by such Non-Approving Lender’s existing Scheduled Termination Date, the Scheduled Termination Date for all Lenders shall remain unchanged. If all Liquidity Banks approve an Extension Request by the Response Date, the Scheduled Termination Date specified in such Extension Request shall become effective on such Response Date as to the approving Liquidity Banks, and each of the Co-Agents shall promptly notify the Borrower and, if applicable, the other Co-Agents of the applicable Liquidity Banks’ new Scheduled Termination Date.

Section 1.9 Eligible Originators . A list of Eligible Originators as of the Effectiveness Date is attached hereto as Exhibit X. After the Effectiveness Date, BSX may request that additional Eligible Originators be designated by submitting a written request to the Co-Agents. If the Co-Agents, in their sole discretion, approve any such request in writing within 30 days after receiving such request, Exhibit X will be automatically deemed amended to add the name of such newly approved Eligible Originator. If the Co-Agents have not approved such request in writing within thirty (30) days (or if any Co-Agent notifies BSX and the other Co-Agents) that such request is not approved), such request shall be considered to have been denied.

ARTICLE II
BORROWING AND PAYMENT MECHANICS; CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS

Section 2.1 Request a Borrowing . Borrower (or the Servicer, on Borrower’s behalf) shall give the Co-Agents irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit II hereto (each, a “ Borrowing Request ”) not later than (x) in the case of a Co-Agent for any LMIR Lender in respect of a LMIR Loan, 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Borrowing Date of each Advance and (y) in the case of a Co-Agent for any other Lender, 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days before the Borrowing Date of each Advance. On each Borrowing Date, each applicable Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in accordance with Section 1.2(b).

Section 2.2 CP Tranche Periods; Interest Periods; LIBOR Unavailability .

(a) In the case of a Group that includes a Conduit, unless the Co-Agent for such Group shall have received written notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the last day of a CP Tranche Period that Borrower intends to reduce the aggregate principal amount of its CP Rate Loans outstanding, such Co-Agent and its related Conduit shall be entitled to assume that Borrower desires to refinance the principal and interest of each maturing CP Rate Loan on the last day of its CP Tranche Period with new CP Rate Loans;

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

provided, however, that Borrower shall remain liable to pay in cash any portion of the principal or interest on the maturing CP Rate Loan when due to the extent that the applicable Conduit cannot issue Commercial Paper or avail itself of a Liquidity Funding, in either case, in the precise amount necessary to refinance the maturing CP Rate Loan and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b) Unless a Co-Agent shall have received written notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan that Borrower intends to reduce the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans outstanding, such Co-Agent and its related Lender(s) shall be entitled to assume that Borrower desires to refinance its maturing LIBOR Loans on the last day of such Interest Period with Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(c) If any Lender or Co-Agent determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, in connection with any Borrowing Request that (i) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount of the Advance requested in such Borrowing Request and as a result, the applicable LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition thereof, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the applicable LIBOR with respect to a requested Advance, or (iii) the applicable LIBOR with respect to a requested Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Advance, such Lender or Co-Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of such Lender to make or maintain a Loan at LIBOR shall be suspended (as set forth in the immediately following sentence with respect to pending or outstanding Advances or Loans) until such Lender or Co-Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Request requesting a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a Borrowing Request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein and (b) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically switch to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the first day of the next succeeding Settlement Period.

Section 2.3 Computation of Concentration Limits and Outstanding Balance . The Obligor Concentration Limits and the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables of each Obligor and its Affiliates who are Obligors (if any) shall be calculated as if each such Obligor and its Affiliates who are Obligors were one Obligor.

Section 2.4 Maximum Interest Rate . No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate” ). If at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “ Charges ” ), shall exceed the Maximum Rate which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

(b) Late Payments . Upon demand, Borrower or the Servicer (on Borrower’s behalf), as applicable, shall pay to the applicable Lender (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, to the related Co-Agents for the account of its Lenders) to whom payment of any Obligation is due, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (without taking into account any applicable grace period) at the Default Rate.

(c) Method of Computation . All computations of interest at the Alternate Base Rate or the Default Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed. All other computations of interest, and all computations of Servicing Fee, any per annum fees payable under Section 4.1 and any other per annum fees payable by Borrower to the Lenders, the Servicer or any of the Agents under the Transaction Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(d) Avoidance or Rescission of Payments . No payment of any Obligation shall be considered to have been paid if at any time such payment is rescinded or must be returned for any reason.

Section 2.6 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Co-Agents . Unless a Lender notifies its Co-Agent prior to the date and time on which it is scheduled to fund a Loan that it does not intend to fund, such Co-Agent may assume that such funding will be made and may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such Loan available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender has not in fact funded its Loan proceeds to the applicable Co-Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by such Co-Agent, repay to such Co-Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by such Co-Agent until the date such Co-Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day.

SETTLEMENTS

Section 3.1 Monthly Reporting . Not later than the Monthly Reporting Date in each calendar month hereafter, the Servicer shall deliver to each of the Co-Agents, a Monthly Report accompanied by an electronic file in a form reasonably satisfactory to each of such Lenders and Co-Agents. At or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each of the Co-Agents shall notify Borrower and the Servicer of (i) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans that are then outstanding from its Constituents, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all principal, interest and fees that will be due and payable by Borrower to such Co-Agent’s Constituents on such Settlement Date.

Section 3.2 Turnover of Collections . Without limiting any Agent’s or Lender’s recourse to Borrower for payment of any and all Obligations:

(a) If any Monthly Report reveals that a mandatory prepayment is required under Section 1.5(b), not later than the 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Settlement Date, the Servicer shall turn over to each applicable Lender (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, to each of the related Co-Agents, for distribution to its Lenders), a portion of the Collections received as of the Monthly Reporting Date on which such Monthly Report was due and not previously so distributed equal to the amount of such required mandatory prepayment;

(b) If, on any Settlement Date, any Loans are to be voluntarily prepaid in accordance with Section 1.5(a), or if the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding is to be reduced, the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Lenders (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, to each of the related Co-Agents, for distribution to its Lenders), a portion of the Collections equal to the related Group’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of such voluntary prepayment or reduction and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with such voluntary prepayment or reduction; and

(c) In addition to, but without duplication of, the foregoing, on (i) each Settlement Date and (ii) each other date on which any principal of or interest on any of the Loans becomes due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, in the case of principal, has not been reborrowed pursuant to Section 1.1, the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Lenders (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, each related Co-Agent, for distribution to their respective Lenders), the related Group’s Percentage of a portion of the Collections equal to the aggregate amount of all other Obligations that are due and owing on such date.

(d) If the aggregate amount of Collections and payments on Demand Advances received by the Lenders (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, each related Co-Agent) on any Settlement Date are insufficient to pay all Required Amounts, the aggregate amount received shall be applied to the items specified in the subclauses below, in the order of priority of such subclauses:

(i) to any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans that is then due and owing, including any previously accrued interest which was not paid on its applicable due date;

(ii) if the Servicer is not Borrower or an Affiliate thereof, to any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee that is then due and owing to such Servicer, together with any invoiced expenses of the Servicer due and owing pursuant to Section 10.3;

(iii) to the fees due on such Settlement Date pursuant to the Amended Fee Letter, plus any fees previously accrued thereunder not paid on a prior Settlement Date;

(iv) to the payment of the principal of any Loans that are then due and owing;

(v) to other Obligations that are then due and owing; and

(vi) if the Servicer is Borrower, BSX or one of their respective Affiliates, to the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee that is then due and owing to such Servicer.

(e) In addition to, but without duplication of, the foregoing, on (i) each Settlement Date and (ii) each other date on which any principal of or interest on any of the Loans becomes due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Servicer shall turn over to each of the Lenders (or, in case of Lenders in Conduit Groups, each related Co-Agent, for distribution to its Lenders), a portion of the Collections equal to the aggregate amount of all Obligations that are due and owing to their respective Group on such date.

Section 3.3 Non-Distribution of Servicing Fee . Each of the Agents and the other Secured Parties hereby agrees that prior to the occurrence of an Unmatured Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, the Servicer may retain a portion of the Collections equal to the Servicing Fee so long as the Collections received by the Servicer are sufficient to pay in full all amounts due pursuant to Section 3.2(d).

Section 3.4 Deemed Collections . If on any Settlement Date:

(a) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables as reflected in the most recent Monthly Report (net of any positive adjustments) has been reduced or cancelled for any of the following reasons:

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(i) as a result of any rejected, defective or returned services or merchandise, any cash discount or any other adjustment by the Borrower, the applicable Originator or any Affiliate thereof (regardless of whether the same is treated by such Originator or Affiliate as a write-off), or as a result of any surcharge or other governmental or regulatory action, or

(ii) as a result of any setoff or breach of the underlying agreement in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the Borrower, the applicable Originator or any Affiliate thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) on account of the obligation of the Borrower, the applicable Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(b) any of the representations or warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(n), (o) or (r) was not true when made with respect to any Receivable, or any of the representations or warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(m) is no longer true with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received during the preceding Calculation Period a Collection in an amount equal to (A) the amount of such reduction, cancellation or overstatement, in the case of the preceding clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in respect of such Receivable in calculating the Net Pool Balance, as applicable, and (B) in the full amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in the case of the preceding clause (b).

Section 3.5 Treatment of Collections and Deemed Collections . Borrower shall forthwith deliver to Servicer all Deemed Collections, and Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed Collections in the same manner as all other Collections are required to be held or distributed hereunder.

FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1 Fees . BSX or Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to each of the Agents and the Lenders certain fees from time to time in amounts and payable on such dates as are set forth in the Amended Fee Letter.

Section 4.2 Yield Protection .

(a) If any Regulatory Change occurring after the date hereof shall subject an Affected Party to (i) any increase in the cost to such Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, Liquidity Fundings or extensions of credit under any Funding Agreement (except for the avoidance of doubt, non-Excluded Taxes indemnified under Section 4.4 and Excluded Taxes) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material or

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(ii) to any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party or any corporation controlling such Affected Party and the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Affected Party’s Loans, Liquidity Fundings or its commitment to extend credit (or commitments with respect to funding or making or maintaining (or providing or agreeing to provide funding for) any, Loan, Liquidity Funding or loans or other extensions of credit) pursuant to a Funding Agreement by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, upon demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth the basis of such demand), with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party, from time to time as specified by such Affected Party, (A) in the case of Section 4.2(a)(i), additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost and (B) in the case of Section 4.2(a)(ii), additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Affected Party’s Loans or Liquidity Fundings or commitment to extend credit (or commitments with respect to funding or making or maintaining (or providing or agreeing to provide funding for) any, Loan, Liquidity Funding or loans or other extensions of credit) pursuant to a Funding Agreement.

(b) Each Affected Party will promptly notify Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Co-Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.

(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to Borrower the above-referenced certificate as to such actual increased cost or actual reduced return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower. In addition, a certificate delivered in connection with a claim for additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(ii)(B) shall include a certification by the Affected Party to the effect that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Affected Party’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Affected Party whose transactions with such Affected Party are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Affected Party shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

Section 4.3 Funding Losses . In the event that any Affected Party shall incur any loss or expense, including without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party, then, upon written notice from the applicable Co-Agent to the Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Servicer, Borrower shall pay to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay to the applicable Lender (or, in case of a Lender in a Conduit Group, the related Co-Agent) for the account of such Affected Parties upon demand, the amount of such loss or expense (which shall include without limitation all Broken Funding Costs). Such written notice (which shall include the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such actual loss or expense, in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and the Servicer.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

Section 4.4 Taxes .

(a) All payments made by a Loan Party under any Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Transaction Document as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (x) such amounts shall be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to such Agent or Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in such Transaction Document as if such withholding or deduction had not been made. Whenever any Taxes are payable by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section, as promptly as possible thereafter such Loan Party shall send to the applicable Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to such Agent (in its reasonable discretion). If a Loan Party fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the applicable Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by any Agent or Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable by such Agent or Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) in respect of penalties, interest or reasonable expenses if such penalties, interest or reasonable expenses are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person seeking indemnification. If any Indemnified Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any Tax or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will be sought from any Loan Party under Section 10.1(a)(J), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt and timely notice of such attempt to the Borrower and the Borrower shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such Tax, governmental fee or charge.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(c) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.4(c)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XIII-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XIII-2 or Exhibit XIII-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XIII-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(d) If a Loan Party pays any additional amounts or makes an indemnity payment under this Section 4.4 to any Lender or Agent, and such Lender or Agent determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received in connection therewith any refund of the underlying Non-Excluded Taxes, such Lender or Agent shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund which was obtained by such Lender or Agent (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid by such Loan Party under this Section 4.4 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or the Agent with respect to such refund, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxation authority);

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

provided, however, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party to any Lender or Agent in the event any Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund, plus interest and penalties (excluding interest and penalties attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Agent). This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender or Agent to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower or any other Person (including its Tax returns).

(e) Each Lender and Co-Agent shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (but only to the extent not already paid by the Borrower), as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.4(e).

ARTICLE V

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

provided, however, that the preceding materiality standard shall not apply to those representations and warranties which themselves contain materiality standards; and provided, further, that so long as each of the Lenders (or, in case of any Lender that is a Conduit, its Liquidity Banks) remains a party to the BSX Credit Agreement, in no event will any Loan Party be required to “date-down” its representation in Section 6.1(b) or 6.1(g);

(ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance (or the continuation thereof), that will constitute an Amortization Event, and no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Advance (or the continuation thereof), that would constitute an Unmatured Amortization Event;

Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders, as to itself in any capacity, as of the date hereof, as of the date of each Advance and as of each Settlement Date as follows; provided, however, that so long as each of the Liquidity Banks and each of the Lenders that are not part of any Group containing any Conduit remains a party to the BSX Credit Agreement, in no event will any Loan Party be required to “date-down” its representation in Section 6.1(b) or 6.1(g):

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

All such annual financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, were, as of the date prepared, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or an Authorized Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). The quarterly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such quarterly statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of BSX, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Neither BSX nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, any material Guarantee Obligation, material contingent liability or material liability for taxes, or any material long‑term lease or material unusual forward or long‑term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

(b) No Change . Since the date of the most recent financial statements filed with BSX’s Form 10-Q or Form 10-K (or the equivalent thereof) under the Exchange Act, in the case of BSX, and since the date of formation in the case of Borrower, there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Ownership of Borrower and Originators. BSX owns, directly or indirectly, all the issued and outstanding equity interests of (i) the Borrower and (ii) each of the other Originators (if any), and all of such equity interests are fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law . Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries, if any, (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or other power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) (in each such case, only with respect to Subsidiaries of such Loan Party (other than the Borrower)), (c) and (d) to be true and correct could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations . Each Loan Party has the corporate or other power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions herein and therein contemplated and has taken all necessary corporate or limited liability company action to authorize the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Except for filings with respect to the disclosure of the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Exchange Act (all of which filings shall be made at or prior to the time required under applicable law), no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required with respect to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Loan Party is, or is to become, a party has been or will be, as applicable, duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Loan Party is, or is to become, a party constitutes or will constitute, as applicable, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(f) No Legal Bar . The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and transactions contemplated hereunder will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party or of any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for any Lien permitted by, or created pursuant to, any of the Transaction Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) No Material Litigation . Except as disclosed in BSX’s most recent publicly available Form 10-K or, if later, the date of BSX’s most recent publicly available Form 10-Q, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, threatened by or against such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or its respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) No Default . Neither the Servicer nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than Borrower) is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in excess of $100,000,000. Borrower is not in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing.

(i) Taxes . Each of such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(j) Use of Proceeds . The use of all funds obtained by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party will not (i) violate Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect, (ii) violate Section 7.2(e) of this Agreement or (iii) be used to acquire any security which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act.

(k) Investment Company Act; Other Regulations . Such Loan Party is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Such Loan Party is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. The Borrower is not a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (together with the implementing regulations thereunder, commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule”). In determining that the Borrower is not a “covered fund,” the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exception to the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(l) Accuracy of Information .

(i) Monthly Reports . Each Monthly Report delivered pursuant to this Agreement was true and accurate in every material respect on the date specified in such report and did not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(ii) Collateral Information . All information regarding the Collateral or any Loan Party furnished by any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates to any of the Agents or Lenders prior to the date of this Agreement was true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information was so furnished except as otherwise disclosed to the Agents and the Lenders prior to the date hereof and, when taken as a whole together with such subsequent disclosures, did not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(iii) Ongoing Collateral Information . All other information regarding the Collateral not covered by clauses (i) and (ii) above which is hereafter furnished by any Loan Party to any of the Agents or Lenders will be true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is so furnished and, when taken as a whole, will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading as of the date when so furnished.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(iv) Other Information . All other information regarding any Loan Party, its business, operations, financial condition or prospects furnished by any Loan Party to any of the Agents or Lenders in connection with the Transaction Documents after the date of this Agreement that is not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, will be true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is so furnished and, when taken as a whole together with any subsequent updates to such information, will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading as of the date when furnished or updated.

(m) Valid and Perfected Security Interest . The Borrower has a perfected ownership interest in each Receivable, and each Receivable is owned by the Borrower free and clear of any Lien except as created hereby or by the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent in form suitable for filing all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Receivables and Related Security. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in each such Receivable and its Related Security in favor of the Administrative Agent, and, upon filing of the financing statements described in the preceding sentence, together with UCC termination statements delivered as a condition precedent to the initial Advance hereunder, such security interest will be a first priority perfected security interest.

Each of the Secured Parties hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective interests in the Collateral, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Secured Parties and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Secured Parties as the true parties in interest with respect to the Collateral. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1 Restrictions on Assignments .

(a) Except to the extent permitted by the Transaction Documents, no Loan Party may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each of the Agents.

(b) Any Conduit may, at any time, assign all or any portion of any of its Loans, or sell participations therein, to (i) its Constituent Liquidity Banks or the Enhancement Providers (or to its Co-Agent for the ratable benefit of its Constituent Liquidity Banks) or (ii) another multi-seller commercial paper conduit administered by any Co-Agent which is rated at least “A-1” by S&P and “P-1” by Moody’s.

(i) each of the Lenders may assign all or any portion of its Loans and, if applicable, its Commitment and Liquidity Commitment, to any Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of (A) Borrower and (B) such Lender’s applicable Co-Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if such Eligible Assignee is already a Lender or Liquidity Bank party to this Agreement or if any Amortization Event exists and is continuing and the aggregate Liquidity Commitments, after giving effect to such assignment, would not be reduced solely because of such assignment;

Section 12.2 Register; Rights of Assignees and Participants .

(a) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in 1100 Abernathy Rd., Suite 1600, Atlanta, GA 30328 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries on the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Upon the assignment by a Lender in accordance with Section 1.2(c) or 12.1(b) or (c), the Eligible Assignee(s) receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Obligations (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).

(c) In no event will the sale of any participation interest in any Lender’s or any Eligible Assignee’s rights under the Transaction Documents or in the Obligations relieve the seller of such participation interest of its obligations, if any, hereunder or, if applicable, under the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party and such Loan Party shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. No participant shall have any right to restrict the approval of or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver to the provisions hereof except to the extent any such amendment, modification or waiver reduces the amount of Advances or the interest rate or fees payable with respect to such Advances; provided, however, that to the extent that any Liquidity Funding is deemed to be the sale of a participation, the foregoing limitation on participants’ voting rights shall not apply to any Liquidity Bank participating in such Liquidity Funding. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Section 12.3 Terms and Evidence of Assignment . Any assignment to any Eligible Assignee(s) pursuant to Section 1.2(c), 12.1(b) or 12.1(c) shall be upon such terms and conditions as the assigning Lender and the applicable Co-Agent, on the one hand, and the Eligible Assignee, on the other, may mutually agree, and any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1(c) shall be effectuated by the execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Any assignment made in accordance with the terms of this Article XII shall relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations, if any, under this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Liquidity Agreement to which it is a party) to the extent assigned. Following any such assignment, Schedule A, Schedule 14.2 and other relevant provisions of this Agreement will be deemed amended or supplemented, as appropriate, without further action, by the information contained in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.

(a) without the prior written consent of all Committed Lenders in its Group, no Co-Agent will amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement which would (i) reduce the amount of any principal or interest that is payable on account of its Group’s Loans or delay any scheduled date for payment thereof; (ii) decrease the Required Reserve, decrease the spread included in any Interest Rate or change the Servicing Fee; (iii) modify this Section 14.1; or (iv) modify any yield protection or indemnity provision which expressly inures to the benefit of assignees or participants of the Committed Lenders in its Group.

Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement

(c) No failure on the part of any Agent, any Affected Party, any Indemnified Party or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Co-Agent are each hereby authorized by Borrower and Servicer (as Servicer and as an Originator) at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or Co-Agent to or for the credit to the account of Borrower or any Originator, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, to or of any Agent, any Affected Party, any Indemnified Party or any other Secured Party, or their respective successors and assigns.

Section 14.2 Notices . Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule 14.2 hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified below its signature hereto. Borrower hereby authorizes each of the Lenders and Co-Agents to effect Advances based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Lender or Co-Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower. Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Lenders and Co-Agents a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Borrower; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Lenders or Co-Agents, the records of such Lenders or Co-Agents, as applicable, shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments . Except as provided in the next sentence, if any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Obligations owing to such Lender (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such Obligations, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Liquidity Banks in one of the Groups decline to extend their Liquidity Termination Date, their Co-Agent will promptly notify the other Co-Agents and Borrower of such decision, and Borrower shall have the right to replace the non-extending Group with a new Conduit and one or more new Liquidity Banks without repaying any portion of the other Group’s Loans at the time of such replacement, and without triggering the purchase requirements under the preceding sentence.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Borrower or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Borrower’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Lenders under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each of the Loan Parties (A) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables and Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof and, with regards to the financing statements listing the Borrower as debtor, including such financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets or all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar import), without the signature or other authorization of such Loan Party, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Administrative Agent hereunder, (B) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables or Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Administrative Agent, consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document, and approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

Except with respect to (and to the extent of) Excess Funds, no recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement or for the payment of any fee hereunder or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, in each case, against any Conduit or any stockholder, member, employee, officer, director, manager, incorporator or beneficial owner of any Conduit.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(2) Boston Scientific Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as purchaser (the “ Buyer ”).

Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Annex A hereto or, if not defined therein, in that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated as of February 7, 2017 by and among the Buyer, as “Borrower,” BSX, as “Servicer,” the lenders and co-agents party thereto from time to time and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as “Administrative Agent” (as amended, supplemented, restated, joined or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “ Credit and Security Agreement ”). In addition Annex A sets forth certain rules of interpretation that are applicable to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS , the parties hereto are parties to an Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of November 7, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof the “ Original RSA ”); and

WHEREAS , the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original RSA as of the date hereof;

NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.
CAPITALIZATION OF THE BUYER AND AMOUNTS
AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Capitalization of the Buyer . Effective on the Initial Closing Date, BSX contributed to the Buyer’s capital, in exchange for all of the Buyer’s Equity Interests all of BSX’s Receivables existing as of the Initial Cutoff Date and all Related Security and proceeds with respect thereto (such Receivables, the “ Initial Contributed Receivables ”).

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

Section 1.2 Purchases of Receivables .

(a) Effective on the Applicable Closing Date for each Seller, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each such Seller does hereby sell to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer does hereby purchase from such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Seller’s Receivables, the Related Security and all proceeds received subsequent to the Seller’s Applicable Cut-Off Date of the foregoing (other than any such assets contributed to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.1 above), in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

(b) Each Seller’s Receivables existing as of such Seller’s Applicable Cut-Off Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to Buyer on such Seller’s Applicable Closing Date. Each of such Seller’s Receivables arising after such Seller’s Applicable Cut-Off Date and on or prior to its Sale Termination Date shall be deemed to have been sold to Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation of such Receivable. The Related Security with respect to each Receivable (and proceeds of such Receivable and Related Security) shall be sold at the same time as such Receivable together with all related proceeds received on or after the Seller’s Applicable Cut-Off Date.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each conveyance of Receivables made under this Agreement shall constitute an outright “sale of accounts” (as such terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC) or other absolute transfer, which is absolute and irrevocable and shall provide the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.4 , each conveyance of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to the applicable Seller; provided , however , that (i) each Seller will be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Seller is a party, and (ii) such conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Seller or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Seller. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute outright sales of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Seller agrees that it will, from and after its Applicable Closing Date, reflect in its monthly reporting delivered to the Lenders and/or Co-Agents under the Credit and Security Agreement, that the Receivables acquired by the Buyer from it are the property of the Buyer.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude BSX from contributing to the Buyer’s capital, in lieu of selling, Receivables originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by BSX in addition to the Initial Contributed Receivables together with the Related Security associated therewith, and any such contribution is made with the intention that each such contribution, if any, will be made with the same intentions as are set forth in Section 1.2(c) above. No Purchase Price shall be payable in respect of any contributed Receivable or its associated Related Security.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

Section 1.3 Payment for the Purchases .

(a) The Purchase Price for each purchase of Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) and Related Security from any Seller will be payable in full by the Buyer to such Seller on its date of sale or deemed sale in accordance with Section 1.2(b) (except that the Buyer may, with respect to any such purchase, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts due and owing from such Seller to the Buyer hereunder), and shall be paid to such Seller in one or both of the following manners:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of the Buyer’s Available Funds; and

(ii) solely to the extent such Available Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount of Purchase Price then due and owing, by delivery of a Subordinated Note made by the Buyer to the applicable Seller (and making a notation of a Subordinated Loan thereunder), so long as the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Loans outstanding at any one time under such Subordinated Notes does not exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii) , each of the Sellers irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by the Buyer on or prior to such Seller’s Sale Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans owing to each Seller will be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions, of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from Available Funds at the time of each such payment. Each Seller is hereby authorized by the Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Subordinated Loan thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of the Buyer thereunder.

(c) On each Monthly Reporting Date after its Applicable Closing Date, each Seller will (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to the Buyer and the Agents a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each such report being herein called a “ Purchase Report ”) with respect to the Receivables sold by such Seller to the Buyer during the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Each such Purchase Report shall list the applicable Seller separately and shall specify, as applicable: (i) the Receivables sold by such Seller during the Calculation Period then most recently ended, and (ii) the amount of the Receivables described in the foregoing clause (i) that were Eligible Receivables on the date they were acquired by the Buyer.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each purchase of Receivables and Related Security shall be due and payable in full by the Buyer to the applicable Seller on the date of such purchase, settlement of the Purchase Price between the Buyer and such Seller will be effected on monthly Settlement Dates with respect to all purchases within the most recently ended Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered for such Calculation Period pursuant to Section 1.3(c) . Although cash settlements shall be effected on monthly Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the Subordinated Loans shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

Section 1.4 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments . If on any day:

(a) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by any Seller as reflected in the preceding Purchase Report (net of any positive adjustments) has been reduced or canceled for any of the following reasons:

(i) as a result of any rejected, defective or returned services or merchandise, any cash discount or any other adjustment by the applicable Seller or any Affiliate thereof (regardless of whether the same is treated by such Seller or Affiliate as a write-off), or as a result of any surcharge or other governmental or regulatory action, or

(ii) as a result of any setoff or breach of the underlying agreement in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the applicable Seller, Buyer or any Affiliate of the foregoing (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) on account of the obligation of the applicable Seller or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) as a result of any Outstanding Balance of any Receivable on the date of its sale or contribution proving to have been less on such date than the amount reflected on the applicable Purchase Report, or

(b) any of the representations or warranties of the applicable Seller set forth in Section 2.1(a) , (k) or (s) was not true when made with respect to any Receivable originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by it, or any of the representations or warranties of the applicable Seller set forth in Section 2.1(t) is no longer true with respect to any Receivable originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable, Receivable purchased, by any Seller,

then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “ Purchase Price Credit ”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to (A) the amount of such reduction, cancellation or overstatement, in the case of the preceding clauses (a)(i) , (a)(ii) , (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) , and (B) in the full amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in the case of the preceding clause (b) .

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 6.3 , each Seller (i) shall take such action requested by the Buyer and/or any of the Agents, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to ensure that the Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Seller hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Buyer and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each of the Sellers hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of such Seller’s Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, and in all Related Security with respect thereto, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens thereto. After the occurrence of a Seller’s Sale Termination Event, the Buyer and its assigns shall have as against the applicable Seller, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(b) Each Seller hereby covenants and agrees to do all things necessary under each of its Contracts to facilitate collection of the Receivables arising thereunder by the Buyer and its assigns, and to secure its obligations under this Section 1.7(b) .

ARTICLE II.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations of the Sellers . In order to induce the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to make purchases and accept the contributions hereunder, each Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties, as to itself, as of the date of each sale or contribution by it hereunder; provided , however , that so long as each of the Liquidity Banks remains a party to the BSX Credit Agreement, no Seller will be required to “date-down” its representation in Section 2.1(b) or 2.1(g) hereof:

(a) Financial Condition . The consolidated balance sheet of BSX and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to Buyer and Lenders, are complete and correct and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of BSX as at such dates, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of BSX and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2016 or, if later and prior to the date of this Agreement, the date of BSX’s most recent publicly available Form 10-Q and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal period ended on such date, certified by an Authorized Officer, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to Buyer and each Lender, are complete and materially correct and present fairly (subject to normal year‑end audit adjustments) the consolidated financial condition of BSX and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal period then ended. All such annual financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, were, as of the date prepared, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or an Authorized Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). The quarterly financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, such quarterly statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of BSX, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Neither BSX nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, any material Guarantee Obligation, material contingent liability or material liability for taxes, or any material long‑term lease or material unusual forward or long‑term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

(b) No Change . Since the date of the most recent financial statements filed with BSX’s Form 10‑Q or Form 10‑K (or the equivalent thereof) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(c) Ownership of Such Seller . BSX owns, directly or indirectly, all the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of (i) the Buyer and (ii) each of the other Sellers (if any), and all of such Equity Interests are fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law . Each Seller and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or other power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) (in each such case, only with respect to Subsidiaries of a Seller (other than the Buyer)), (c) and (d) to be true and correct could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations . Each Seller has the corporate or other power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions herein and therein contemplated and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Except for filings with respect to the disclosure of the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (all of which filings shall be made at or prior to the time required by applicable law), no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required with respect to such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents to which such Seller is a party. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller is, or is to become, a party has been or will be, as applicable, duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Seller. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller is, or is to become, a party constitutes or will constitute, as applicable, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(f) No Legal Bar . The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and transactions contemplated hereunder will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for any Lien permitted by or created pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(g) No Material Litigation . Except as disclosed in BSX’s most recent publicly available Form 10-K or, if later, the date of BSX’s most recent publicly available Form 10-Q, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of such Seller, threatened by or against such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or its respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(h) No Default . Neither such Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in excess of $100,000,000. No Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing.

(i) Intentionally Omitted.

(j) Taxes . Each of such Seller and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of such Seller, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Seller or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be), except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(k) Federal Regulations . The use of all funds obtained by such Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party will not violate Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

(l) ERISA . Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five‑year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, where the liability which could be reasonably expected to result could have a Seller Material Adverse Effect; provided , however , that with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, such representation is made only to the knowledge of such Seller. No termination of a Single Employer Plan pursuant to Section 4041(c) or 4042 of ERISA has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither such Seller nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan and to the knowledge of such Seller, neither such Seller nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if such Seller or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made which liability could be reasonably expected to result could have a Seller Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(m) Investment Company Act; Other Regulations . Such Seller is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Such Seller is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

(n) Disclosure . The statements and information contained herein and in any of the information provided to the Agents or the Lenders (other than financial projections) in connection with this Agreement, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of any material fact, or omit to state a fact necessary in order to make such statements or information not misleading in any material respect, in each case in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made or information provided as of the date so provided. Each Purchase Report delivered by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement was true and accurate in every material respect on the date specified in such report and did not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(o) Valid and Perfected Security Interest . Each such Receivable originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable, Receivable purchased, by such Seller has been transferred to the Buyer free and clear of any Lien except as created hereby or by the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, such Seller has delivered to the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee) in form suitable for filing all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivable and the Administrative Agent’s collateral assignment thereof. This Agreement creates a valid security interest in each such Receivable and its Related Security in favor of the Buyer, and, upon filing of the financing statements described in the preceding sentence, together with UCC termination statements delivered hereunder, such security interest will be a first priority perfected security interest.

(p) Nature of Receivables . Each Receivable constitutes an “Account” and is not a “Health-care insurance receivable”, in each case, as defined in the UCC in effect in the State of New York.

(q) Title to Receivables and Quality of Title .

(i) Upon issuance of its shares of capital stock to BSX (in the case of Initial Contributed Receivables and any Receivables that BSX, in its sole discretion, may elect to contribute thereafter) and payment of the applicable Purchase Price for each purchased Receivable in one or both of the manners permitted by this Agreement, the Buyer will have irrevocably obtained all legal and equitable title to such Receivable and its Related Security (other than any Related Security constituting a Contract that contains a prohibition on assignment, in which case the Buyer has obtained a valid and perfected first priority perfected security interest in the applicable Seller’s right to receive payments thereunder to the extent contemplated by Section 9-406 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction), and the Buyer has the legal right to sell and encumber, each such Receivable and its Related Security. Without limiting the foregoing, there have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivable.

Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

(ii) No financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering any portion of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as may be filed (A) in favor of a Seller in accordance with the Contracts, (B) in favor of the Buyer and its assigns in connection with this Agreement, (C) in favor of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit and Security Agreement, (D) in connection with any Lien arising solely as the result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent or one of the Secured Parties, or (E) which shall be terminated or amended pursuant to the UCC termination statements or amendments delivered hereunder.

As of the date hereof, such Seller is a “registered organization” (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC as in effect in its jurisdiction of organization). Since the date of this Agreement, such Seller has not changed its jurisdiction of organization.

(s) Collection Accounts . Such Seller has instructed all Obligors thereon to pay all Collections (i) directly by mail addressed to a Lockbox listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement, (ii) by wire transfer or other electronic funds transfer directly to a Collection Account listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement or (iii) in the case of the Collections of any Acquired Receivables, to any lockbox or bank account to which Collections for such Acquired Receivables were paid by the Obligors prior to such receivables becoming Acquired Receivables, if any and all payments or balances in such lockbox or bank account on any day are automatically transferred within two (2) Business Days to a Lockbox listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement or a Collection Account listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement.

(t) Eligible Receivables . Each Receivable originated or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by such Seller that is included as an Eligible Receivable on any Purchase Report was an Eligible Receivable on the date on which it was sold or contributed to the Buyer pursuant hereto.

(v) Credit and Collection Policy . With respect to the Receivables originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by such Seller, such Seller has complied in all material respects with its applicable Credit and Collection Policy, and no change has been made to such Credit and Collection Policy since the date of this Agreement which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by such Seller or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables originated, or, in the case of any Acquired Receivable(s), Receivable(s) purchased, by such Seller except for such changes as to which each of the Agents has received the notice required under Section 7.1(a)(vii) of the Credit and Security Agreement and has given its prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(w) Payments to Sellers . With respect to each Receivable sold or contributed to the Buyer by such Seller under this Agreement, the Buyer has given reasonably equivalent value to such Seller in consideration for such Receivable and the Related Security with respect thereto and no such transfer is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§101 et seq.), as amended.

(x) Reliance on Separate Legal Identity . Such Seller is aware that the Lenders, the Liquidity Banks and the Agents are entering into the Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity separate from such Seller and any of its other Affiliates.

Each Seller agrees to direct all Obligors to make payments of such Seller’s Receivables directly to a Collection Account that is the subject of a Collection Account Agreement at a Collection Bank or, in the case of such Seller’s Acquired Receivables, to any lockbox or bank account to which Collections for such Acquired Receivables were paid by the Obligors prior to such receivables becoming Acquired Receivables, so long as any and all payments or balances in such lockbox or bank account on any day are automatically transferred within two (2) Business Days to a Lockbox listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement or a Collection Account listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement.

Section 6.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases . (a) Each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Buyer’s ownership of the Receivables generated by, or in the case of any Acquired Receivables purchased by, such Seller (and the Related Security) purchased by the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

Section 6.4 Application of Collections . Except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by the underlying Contract or law: any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to such Seller or to the Buyer shall be applied first , as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Receivables (unless another reasonable basis for allocation of such payments to the Receivables of such Obligor exists), and second , to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.
