                  Distribution Centers; Etc. Exhibit H attached hereto
                  identifies all ARFC Designated Distribution Centers and all
                  BH2 Designated Distribution Centers. Exhibit B attached hereto
                  also identifies each bank and other financial institution at

                  identifies the related post office box address and the related
                  account numbers. The Seller represents that the Seller does
                  not generate or otherwise create or maintain any Receivables
                  that are neither ARFC Designated Receivables nor BH2
                  Designated Receivable. The Seller further represents and
                  warrants that Exhibit H hereto includes as ARFC Designated
                  Distribution Centers all distribution centers of each "Seller"
                  party to the Affiliate Purchase Agreement on and as of
                  September 30, 2002 (including, without, limitation, James
                  Brudnick Company, Inc. and C.D. Smith Healthcare, Inc.).

                  SECTION 4.  Representations and Warranties; Etc. In order to
induce the Buyer to execute and deliver this Amendment, the Seller hereby
represents and warrants on the date hereof (after giving effect to this
Amendment and the Tenth Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement), that
each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 of the
Purchase Agreement is true and correct; provided that, references in Section 3.1
of the Purchase Agreement to "this Agreement" or the "Facility Documents" shall
mean and be a reference to, or shall include, the Purchase Agreement (after
giving effect to this Amendment and the Tenth Amendment to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement).

                  SECTION 5.  Amendments to Exhibits.  Exhibit I attached hereto
is hereby inserted immediately after Exhibit H attached to the Purchase
Agreement.

                  SECTION 6.  Purchase Agreement in Full Force and Effect, as
Amended. Except as specifically stated herein, all of the terms and conditions
of the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All references
to the Purchase Agreement in any Facility Document or any other document or
instrument shall be deemed to mean the Purchase Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Purchase
Agreement, but shall constitute an amendment thereto. The parties hereto agree
to be bound by the terms and obligations of the Purchase Agreement, as amended
by this Amendment, as though the terms and obligations of the Purchase Agreement
were set forth herein.

hereto (including the consent of the Administrative Agent and General Electric

                                                                              to

                                     FORM OF
                             RECONVEYANCE AGREEMENT

            THIS RECONVEYANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of [INSERT DATE], between AMERISOURCE RECEIVABLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer") and AMERISOURCEBERGEN DRUG CORPORATION
(f/k/a AmeriSource Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Seller"). All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                               Statement of Facts

            Pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 14,
1999, between the Buyer and the Seller (as amended, restated supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), the Buyer has
purchased from time to time from the Seller certain trade receivables (and
related rights thereto) generated at ARFC Designated Distribution Centers.

            The Seller has given notice to the Buyer of the Seller's intent to
consolidate the Consolidating Location (defined below) into a BH2 Designated
Distribution Center in accordance with Section 2.5A of the Purchase Agreement
and, in connection therewith, to repurchase from the Buyer all outstanding ARFC
Designated Receivables with respect to the Consolidating Location (as set forth
in Schedule II hereto or in such other format as is acceptable to the Buyer, the
"Reassigned Receivables") and have the Buyer release its security interests
therein.

                               Statement of Terms

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set
forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

<PAGE>

     1. Distribution Center Consolidation. On the date hereof, the Seller will
consolidate the ARFC Designated Distribution Center located at [insert location
details here] (the "Consolidating Location") into the BH2 Designated
Distribution Center located at [insert location details here]. On the date
hereof, Exhibit H to the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to provide that
the Consolidating Location is not an "ARFC Designated Distribution Center" but
is a "BH2 Designated Distribution Center." [As of the date hereof, the
Outstanding Balance of the Reassigned Receivables is $[_________].]

     2. Reconveyance by Buyer.

     a.  In connection with the Distribution Center Consolidation detailed in
Paragraph 1 above, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Buyer hereby sells, assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Seller without
recourse, and the Seller hereby accepts, purchases and receives, all of the
Buyer's rights, titles and interests in and to the Reassigned Receivables. In
consideration of the Buyer's transfer and conveyance hereunder to the Seller of
the Reassigned Receivables, the Seller shall pay a purchase price $[________]
(the "Purchase Price"), to be paid as set forth on Schedule I hereto either in
cash and/or in the form of a reduction of the Subordinated Note owing by the
Buyer to the Seller, if any, which Purchase Price represents the fair market
value of the Reassigned Receivables as of the date hereof.

     b.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer hereby
releases and terminates all security interests or other rights or interests that
the Buyer may have in (i) the Reassigned Receivables, (ii) the Seller's rights
in the merchandise (including returned goods) relating to the Reassigned
Receivables, (iii) all Reassigned Accounts, (iv) any other Related Security to
the extent relating to the foregoing, and (v) all proceeds, substitutions and
replacements for each of the foregoing (the "Released Security Interest").

     3.  Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective
as of the date hereof when signed by the Buyer and the Seller and consented to
by the Administrative Agent.

     4.  Further Assurances. The Buyer hereby agrees to execute and deliver such
UCC financing statements and such other documents as the Seller may reasonably
request from time to time in order to more fully effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, those necessary
to terminate or assign Account Transfer Letters); provided, however, that any
and all such financing statements and other documents shall be prepared and/or
recorded at the Seller's expense.

     5.  Representations and Warranties. Each of the parties hereto represents
and warrants that it has the full corporate or other power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and
that this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by it (and
assuming the due and valid execution and delivery hereof by all other parties
hereto) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

     6.  Miscellaneous. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

<PAGE>

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of several counterparts, and each such counterpart
shall constitute an original and all such counterparts together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. The delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by
facsimile shall constitute delivery of an executed counterpart hereof.

          Purchase Agreement (other than subsection (e) thereof) and Section

          Exhibit J hereto to delete reference to each Lockbox Account and
          Permitted Lockbox related to such ARFC Designated Distribution Center
          (collectively, the "Reassigned Accounts") and (B)(1) the Seller shall
          transfer such Reassigned Accounts to AmeriSource or any other Person

          Purchase Agreement (other than subsection (d) thereof), (A) the Seller
          shall deliver an amended and restated Exhibit J hereto to add each
          lockbox account and lockbox related to such BH2 Designated
          Distribution Center and (B) the Seller shall (1) provide the

          accounts and lockboxes have been transferred to the Seller and either
          (x) deliver a fully executed Account Transfer Letter with respect to
          each such lockbox account and lockbox or (y) deliver an assignment (in
          form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) of the
          account control agreement in effect with respect to the security
          interest of the Purchasers (as defined in the BH2/GE Receivables
          Purchase Agreement) in such lockbox accounts and lockboxes or (2) take
          such other actions with respect to such lockbox accounts and lockboxes
          as the Seller and the Administrative Agent may agree.

          (iii) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this
          Agreement, the Seller shall furnish, or cause to be furnished to the

          such information with respect to any Permitted Lockbox and/or Lockbox
          Account involved in (or otherwise affected by or related to) a
          Distribution Center including, without limitation, any such Permitted
          Lockbox and/or Lockbox Account opened, closed or transferred in
          connection therewith, in such form and detail, as the Administrative
          Agent may request.

     Agreement. The period appearing at the end of Section 4.10(g) of the
     Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby replaced with "; or" and the
     following new subsection (h) is inserted immediately thereafter:

          (h) there shall have occurred any event which materially and adversely
          impairs in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent the
          ability of the Servicer to distinguish between ARFC Designated
          Receivables and BH2 Designated Receivables or to segregate Collections

                    PURCHASER INTEREST RECONVEYANCE AGREEMENT

     THIS PURCHASER INTEREST RECONVEYANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made
and entered into as of [INSERT DATE], among AMERISOURCE RECEIVABLES FINANCIAL
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Seller"), DELAWARE FUNDING CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation ("Buyer") and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as administration agent
(in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"). All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

                               Statement of Facts

     Pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May
14, 1999, among the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor, the Buyer and the
Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Receivable Purchase Agreement"), the Administrative
Agent (on behalf of the Owners) has purchased from the Seller undivided
percentage interests in certain trade receivables (and related rights thereto)
owned by the Seller and generated at ARFC Designated Distribution Centers.

     AmeriSource has given notice to the Seller of Amerisource's intent to
consolidate the Consolidating Location (defined below) into a BH2 Designated
Distribution Center in accordance with Section 2.5A of the AmeriSource Purchase
Agreement and, in connection therewith, to repurchase from the Seller all
outstanding ARFC Designated Receivables with respect to the Consolidating
Location (as set forth in Schedule I hereto or in such other format as is
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the "Reassigned Receivables"), and to
have the Seller release its security interests therein. Pursuant to Section
2.17(a) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Seller,
the Buyer and the Administrative Agent shall reconvey the Purchased Interest in
such Reassigned Receivables as provided in this Agreement.

                               Statement of Terms

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Distribution Center Consolidation. On the date hereof, AmeriSource will
consolidate the ARFC Designated Distribution Center located at [insert location
details here] (the "Consolidating Location") into the BH2 Designated
Distribution Center located at [insert location details here]. On the date
hereof, Exhibit K to the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to
provide that the Consolidating Location is not an "ARFC Designated Distribution
Center" but is a "BH2 Designated Distribution Center."

<PAGE>

         2. Reconveyance by Purchasers.

         a.   In connection with the Distribution Center Consolidation detailed
         in Paragraph 1 above, and subject to the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement, the Buyer and the Administrative Agent hereby sell, assign,
         transfer, and convey to the Seller without recourse, and the Seller
         hereby accepts, purchases and receives, all of the Buyer's and the
         Administrative Agent's right, title and interest in and to the
         Reassigned Receivables. In consideration of the transfer and
         conveyance hereunder to the Seller of the Reassigned Receivables, the
         Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
         Owners) [the amount (if any) necessary to cause the Buyer's Percentage
         Interest not to exceed 100%, after giving effect to the transfer of
         the Reassigned Receivables to the Seller].

         b.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
         Administrative Agent and the Buyer hereby release and terminate all
         security interests or other rights or interests that the
         Administrative Agent and the Buyer may have in (i) the Reassigned
         Receivables, (ii) AmeriSource's rights in the merchandise (including
         returned goods) relating to the Reassigned Receivables, (iii) all
         Reassigned Accounts, (iv) any other Related Security to the extent
         relating to the foregoing and (v) all proceeds, substitutions and
         replacements for each of the foregoing (the "Released Security
         Interest").

         3. Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective
as of the date hereof when signed by each of the parties hereto.

         4. Further Assurances. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to
execute and deliver such UCC financing statements (other than UCC-1 financing
statements) and such other documents as the Seller may reasonably request from
time to time in order to more fully effectuate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (including, without limitation, those necessary to terminate or
assign Account Transfer Letters); provided, however, that any and all such
financing statements and other documents shall be prepared and/or recorded at
the Seller's expense.

         5. Representations and Warranties. Each of the parties hereto
represents and warrants that it has the full corporate or other power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder and that this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by it (and assuming the due and valid execution and delivery hereof by
all other parties hereto) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

         6. Miscellaneous. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of several counterparts, and each such counterpart shall constitute an original
and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
The delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile shall constitute
delivery of an executed counterpart hereof.
