The parties hereto are the current parties to the Original Agreement and they now desire to amend the Original Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as more particularly described herein.

AGREEMENT

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

Section 1. Definitions Used Herein.   Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in, or incorporated by reference into, the Original Agreement.

Section 2. Amendment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Original Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 7.1(p) of the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(p)General Ledger and Certain Receivables.  Such Seller Party shall maintain its consolidated general accounting ledger such that all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Originator or in which Originator has a security interest or other interest arising in connection with the sale of merchandise or the rendering of services by Originator and sold to Seller are recorded as part of general ledger category “company code 0100,” “company code 1001” or “company code US10”; provided however, that from and after December 28, 2010 indebtedness or other obligations owed to Originator or in which

 

Amendment No. 8 to

Avnet Receivables Purchase Agreement

Originator has a security interest or other interest arising in connection with the sale of merchandise or the rendering of services by the business previously conducted by businesses acquired by Originator in an Excluded Acquisition shall not be recorded as part of general ledger category “company code 0100,” “company code 1001” or “company code US10”  until such time, if any, as such indebtedness or other obligations are originated, serviced and collected in a manner substantially similar to the Receivables.”

(b) The definition of “Excluded Receivable” in Exhibit I to the Original Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

““Excluded Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Originator or in which Originator has a security interest or other interest (including, without limitation, any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible) arising in connection with the sale of merchandise or the rendering of services by Originator and further includes, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto, which, in any case:

(i) the account debtor for which is Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc. and such indebtedness or other obligation was originated after May 22, 2015; or

(ii) both (a) arises in connection with the sale of merchandise or the rendering of services by the business previously conducted by any businesses acquired by Originator in an Excluded Acquisition and (b) is not recorded or maintained in Avnet’s consolidated general ledger accounting records as part of general ledger category “company code 0100,” “company code 1001” or “company code US10” (other than any Receivables previously coded under “company code 0100,” “company code 1001” or “company code US10”  that have been coded under any other category without the Agent’s prior written consent). 

Indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute an Excluded Receivable separate from an Excluded Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be an Excluded Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or Seller treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.”

Section 3. Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent that:

(a) Amendment.  The Agent and each Seller Party shall have received, on or before the date hereof, executed counterparts of this Amendment, duly executed by each of the parties hereto.

occurrences constituting breaches of any representation or warranty, to the extent waived in writing by the Financial Institutions and the Companies, ceased to constitute any such breach (solely with respect to such specific occurrence or occurrences) from and after the date of such waiver.

(d) Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart constituting an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(e) Severability.  Any provision contained in this Amendment which is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability or validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
