          Section 4. Amendments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
               (a) Section 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
   Section 1.2 Increases. Seller shall provide the Agent, by 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time) at least two Business Days prior to the date of each Incremental Purchase, with prior written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of such Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof (and, in the case of the initial Purchase Notice, Section 6.1) and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $10,000,000) and date of purchase and, in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will promptly notify each Company of such Purchase Notice after the Agent’s receipt thereof and the Agent will identify the Companies that agree to make the purchase. If any Company declines to make a proposed purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interests, which such Company has declined to purchase, will be made by such declining Company’s Related Financial Institutions in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed Incremental Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, the Agent shall send notice of the proposed Incremental Purchase to the applicable Financial Institutions concurrently by telecopier, telex or cable specifying (i) the date of such Incremental Purchase, which date must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase

6


 

Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and the requested Tranche Period. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the Companies and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Company that has agreed to make such Incremental Purchase, such Company’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing. Each Financial Institution’s Commitment hereunder shall be limited to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group has declined to purchase. Each Financial Institution’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution to make available to Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any purchase.
               (b) Section 1.3 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide the Agent with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and the Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser of such Reduction Notice after the Agent’s receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Companies and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Companies (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on

7


 

the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably to each Financial Institution, based on the ratio of such Financial Institution’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction. No Aggregate Reduction will be made following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without the consent of the Agent.
               (c) Section 1.4 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser, they shall be paid to the Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at 1 Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the Agent, and the Agent agrees to remit any such amounts received to the applicable Purchaser. If such amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to the Agent at 1 Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the Agent. Upon notice to Seller, the Agent (on behalf of itself and/or any Purchaser) may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. All computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letters shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

In accordance with this Section 2.6, Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 97% or, if the Purchaser Interest Condition is existing at such time, 100%. If as of the date of any Weekly Report or Monthly Report the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 97% or, if the Purchaser Interest Condition is existing at such time, 100%, Seller shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 97% or, if the Purchaser Interest Condition is existing at such time, 100%. If at any time (other than as of the date of any Weekly Report or Monthly Report) the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 97% or, if the Purchaser Interest Condition is existing at such time, 100%, Seller shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within five (5) Business Days an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 97% or, if the Purchaser Interest Condition is existing at such time, 100%.

The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or the Agent.

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if no rating for Long-Term Debt shall be available from either Moody’s or S&P, such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating for the Long-Term Debt of Avnet which is one rating grade higher than the subordinated debt rating grade of Avnet, (ii) if no rating for Long-Term Debt or subordinated debt of Avnet shall be available from either Moody’s or S&P, each of the Facility Fee and the Program Fee shall be as set forth in Category 4, (iii) if the ratings

 


 

established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P shall fall within different Categories, each of the Facility Fee and the Program Fee shall be based upon the numerically higher Category; provided, however, that if such ratings shall differ by more than one numerical Category, each of the Facility Fee and the Program Fee shall be based on the Category that is one numerical Category lower than the Category containing the lower rating and (iv) if any rating established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s or S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of either Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which such change is first announced by the rating agency making such change.
