(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the role of Credit Suisse (or its designee) under this Article V is solely to facilitate the assignments contemplated hereunder, and nothing herein shall obligate Credit Suisse or its designee to purchase or assume any Term Loans, expend any of its own funds, or otherwise participate in any of the assignments contemplated hereunder.

- 8 -    
 


irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against the Borrowers, Holdings or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(ii)    waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment in any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(iii)    consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.15 of the Loan Agreement.
Section 6.7.    Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Annex A
Reaffirmation Agreement

THIS REAFFIRMATION AGREEMENT, dated as of [________], 201_ (this "Reaffirmation Agreement"), is made by undersigned parties, for the benefit of Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders under and as defined in that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2013 (the “Amendment”), among WESCO International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), WESCO Distribution Inc. (the “US Borrower”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, WDCC Enterprises Inc., an Alberta corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Canadian Borrower”, and together with the US Borrower, the “Borrowers”, and each a “Borrower”), each of the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings set forth in the Amendment.

Substantially contemporaneously herewith, certain of the Loan Parties are engaging in a restructuring of their Subsidiaries in an effort to achieve a more tax efficient structure in light of recent changes to Canadian tax and thin capitalization laws. In furtherance thereof, the Borrowers have executed and delivered the Amendment which, among other things, waives the provisions of the Loan Agreement to the extent such provisions prohibit or otherwise impair the ability of the Loan Parties to consummate the Restructuring (as defined below). This Reaffirmation Agreement is delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Amendment.

The Restructuring (as defined below) is being accomplished as described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. The transactions described on Exhibit A, including without limitation the transfers of Indebtedness, transfers of membership interests and all transactions reasonably incidental thereto and necessary to effectuate the foregoing are hereinafter referred to in their integrated entirety as the “Restructuring”. The Restructuring entails the transfer of certain equity interests (the “Transferred Interests”) in WDINESCO III CV, a commanditaire vennootschap organized under the laws of the Netherlands and a Netherlands Subsidiary Guarantor, from Wesco Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a US Guarantor, to WDCH US LP, a Delaware limited partnership and Loan Party. The Transferred Interests have heretofore been pledged by WESCO Enterprises, Inc. to the Collateral Agent pursuant to and in accordance with a deed of disclosed pledge over partnership rights WDINESCO III C.V. among WESCO Distribution II ULC, WESCO Distribution Canada Co and WESCO Enterprises, Inc. as pledgors, WESCO Distribution II ULC acting as managing partner for and in the name of WDINESCO III C.V. as partnership and the Collateral Agent as pledgee, dated December 12, 2012 (the “Dutch Pledge ”).

Without qualifying, limiting or otherwise affecting Borrower's continuing obligations under Section 5.12 of the Loan Agreement and Section 2.1 of the Amendment, WDCH US LP is concurrently herewith executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent [a deed of assumption of contract among, amongst others, WESCO Enterprises, Inc., WDCH US LP, WESCO Distribution II ULC acting as managing partner for and in the name of WDINESCO III C.V. and the Collateral Agent, governed by the laws of the Netherlands (the “Deed of Assumption of Contract”)]. Pursuant to the [Deed of Assumption of Contract], WDCH US LP assumes, by means of a transfer of legal relationship (contractsoverneming) within the meaning of section 6:159 of the Netherlands Civil Code, all rights and obligations under the Dutch Pledge from WESCO Enterprises, Inc. All references to the Dutch Pledge in the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document shall henceforth be deemed a reference to the Dutch Pledge together with the [Deed of Assumption of Contract], and as further supplemented, modified or amended from time to time, together with any replacement or restatement thereof.

Each of the Undersigned hereby confirms and agrees that (a) each of the Collateral Agreements and the Dutch Pledge are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, (b) the agreements and obligations of each of the Undersigned, including, without limitation, WESCO Distribution II ULC, WESCO Distribution Canada Co and WDCH US LP contained therein and in this Reaffirmation Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Person, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, and such Person has no valid defense to the enforcement of such obligations, and (c) the Collateral Agent is and shall be entitled to the rights,

 



remedies and benefits provided for under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents and applicable law. WDCH US LP hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has succeeded to the obligations and liabilities of its corresponding predecessor in interest under the Dutch Pledge, and is, by virtue of the Restructuring and the [Deed of Assumption of Contract], a Pledgor (as defined in the Dutch Pledge) under the Dutch Pledge and hereby affirms and ratifies all of its liabilities, obligations and agreement under the Loan Agreement, the Dutch Pledge and the other Loan Documents to which its predecessor transferee was a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Undersigned, each as a debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other similar capacities in which such party grants liens or security interests in its properties or is a guarantor, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents, hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations and obligations to indemnify, contingent or otherwise, under each of such documents to which such Person is a party by virtue of the Restructuring, and each such Person hereby ratifies and reaffirms its grant of liens on or security interests in its properties pursuant to such documents to which it is now a party as security for the Obligations, and confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests hereafter secure all of the Obligations. Each of the Undersigned hereby covenants that it will not contest that the Administrative Agent has and will continue to possess valid and perfected security interests in, and liens upon, all of the collateral as set forth in the Loan Documents, including the US Collateral Agreement and the Dutch Pledge.

WESCO Distribution II ULC, WESCO Distribution Canada Co, WESCO Enterprises, Inc., WESCO Distribution II ULC acting as managing partner for and in the name of WDINESCO III C.V. and the Collateral Agent hereby furthermore confirm and agree that, at the time of the entering into the Dutch Pledge, it was their intention (and with respect to WESCO Distribution II ULC, WESCO Distribution Canada Co and WESCO Distribution II ULC acting as managing partner for and in the name of WDINESCO III C.V., it is still their intention and agreement) that the security rights created pursuant to the Dutch Pledge would secure the US Obligations and Canadian Obligations as they may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including the amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents such as the amendments to be effected by the Amendment and the Restructuring.

Each of WESCO Enterprises, Inc., CBC LP Holdings, LLC, WDINESCO II B.V., WDCH, LP, WESCO Distribution Canada Co. and WDCH US LP hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that before and after giving effect to the Restructuring such Person is and will be Solvent.
    
Each of the Undersigned hereby acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation, written or oral, express or implied, by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in entering into this Reaffirmation Agreement. This Reaffirmation Agreement constitutes a Loan Document.

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

This Reaffirmation Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or by electronic mail transmission in portable display format (pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Reaffirmation Agreement.
