Any Lender may revoke Special Obligor status at any time. As of the Fourth Omnibus Amendment Effective Date, and until such status is revoked by any Lender, (i) [*] shall be a Special Obligor with an “Individual Obligor Percentage” of 25.00% so long as [*]’s long-term

unsecured rating is equal to or greater than A by S&P and Baa2 by Moody’s; (ii) [*] shall be a Special Obligor with an “Individual Obligor Percentage” equal to a Class C Obligor under the definition of “Concentration Percentage” so long as [*]’s long-term unsecured rating is equal to or greater than BB by S&P and Baa3 by Moody’s; and (iii) [*] shall be a Special Obligor with “Individual Obligor Percentage” of 7.00%.”.
3.    Amendment to the RFA. Section 5.03(l) of the RFA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Commingling. The Borrower shall not deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections of Transferred Receivables into any Lockbox, the Concentration Account or the Accrual Account, except as otherwise contemplated under Section 4.02(1) of the Sale Agreement.  If funds that are not Collections are deposited into the Concentration Account or the Accrual Account, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly upon discovery thereof, and, the Servicer shall promptly remit (or direct the Concentration Account Bank or Accrual Account Bank, as applicable, to remit) any such amounts that are not Collections to the applicable Originator or other Person designated in such notice.”.

(a)    It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.
(b)    This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes such Person’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(c)    No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing (except for any filing required by federal securities laws), registration or qualification with, any court or governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Person of this Amendment that has not already been obtained.

shall be true and correct as of such other date) and (ii) no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
5.    Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, all provisions of the RFA and the SSA shall remain in full force and effect. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the RFA and the SSA to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar effect referring to the RFA or the SSA, as applicable, shall be deemed to be references to the RFA and the SSA as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall not be deemed to expressly or impliedly waive, amend or supplement any provision of the RFA or the SSA other than as set forth herein.
6.    Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following: (i) counterparts of this Amendment (whether by facsimile or otherwise) executed by each of the other parties hereto; and (ii) such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of the Borrower and Synnex and the authorization of this Amendment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

8.    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
9.    Severability. Each provision of this Amendment shall be severable from every other provision of this Amendment for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any provision hereof, and the unenforceability of one or more provisions of this Amendment in one jurisdiction shall not have the effect of rendering such provision or provisions unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
