(including, without limitation, by means of capital contribution) of any
Receivable (or interest therein) by WESCO
6
or any other Originator to the Receivables Seller pursuant to the Receivables
Purchase and Sale Agreement, any Lenders Interest of the Lenders or the Lenders
Agent solely in such Receivables and all Receivables Assets with respect thereto
shall automatically and without further action cease and be forever released and
discharged and the Lenders Agent and the Lenders shall have no Lenders Interest
therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this SECTION 2.1 shall be deemed to
constitute a release by the Lenders Agent and the Lenders of: (i) any Lenders
Interest in the proceeds received by WESCO or any other Originator from the

Interest or right the Lenders or the Lenders Agent have in any Unsold
Receivables and the proceeds thereof. If any goods or merchandise, the sale of

upon payment by WESCO or any other Originator and the Receivables Seller of all
adjustments required on account thereof under the Receivables Purchase Agreement
and the other Receivable Documents, the Receivables Interest in such Returned
Goods shall automatically and without further action cease to exist and be

Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Receivables Purchaser) agrees that it

Receivables Agent and the Receivables Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables
Documents) and hereby releases any Receivables Interest in any such collateral

satisfied in full in cash and each of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents is terminated and, thereafter, any remaining proceeds shall be paid to
WESCO or as otherwise required by applicable law. The Receivables Seller and the
Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Receivables Purchaser)
agrees that none of the Receivables Seller, the Receivables Agent or the
Receivables Purchasers have, nor shall they have, any Receivables Interest in

other Originator under the Receivables Documents or otherwise.
(b) All proceeds of the Receivables Assets shall be paid to

Lenders Agent such Lenders Collateral (and until delivered to the Lenders Agent
such Lenders Collateral shall be held in trust for the Lenders Agent). Each of
the Receivables Seller, the Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each
Receivables Purchaser) further agrees to immediately turn over the proceeds of
any Disposition of Lenders Collateral which it (or any Receivables Purchaser)
might receive while any Lenders Claim, any other obligations or liabilities
under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any commitment to make
financial accommodations thereunder remain outstanding, regardless of whether
the Lenders Agent has a perfected and enforceable lien in the assets of WESCO or
any other Originator from which the proceeds of any such Disposition have been
received.
(d) In the event that any of the Lenders or the Lenders Agent
now or hereafter obtains possession of any Receivables Assets, it shall
immediately deliver to the Receivables Agent such Receivables Assets (and until

trust for the Receivables Agent). The Lenders Agent (for itself and on behalf of
each Lenders) further agrees to immediately turn over the proceeds of any
Disposition
8
of Receivables Assets to the Receivables Agent which it (or the Lenders) might

thereunder remain outstanding, regardless of whether the Receivables Agent has a
perfected and enforceable lien in the assets from which the proceeds of such
Disposition have been received.
(e) To the extent that any Inventory of WESCO or any other
Originator has been commingled with Returned Goods in which the Receivables
Interest continues as provided in SECTION 2.1 above, and the Lenders Agent or
any Lenders receives any proceeds on account of such Returned Goods (whether by
reason of sale or by reason of insurance payments on account thereof) prior to

(c) The Lenders Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any
rights it may have under the Loan Documents to send any notices to Obligors

such Obligors to make payments in any particular manner of any amounts due under
the Receivables prior to the payment in full of the Receivables Claim and the
termination of the Receivables Documents, except that from and after any date on

unpaid Receivables Claim have been written off in accordance with their terms,
the Lenders Agent may inform any Obligors of Unsold Receivables that such Unsold
Receivables have been assigned to the Lenders Agent, so long as such notices do
not under any circumstances direct that payments on account of such Unsold
Receivables be made to any location or account to which payments on account of
Purchased Receivables are required to be made pursuant to the terms of the
Receivables Documents.
2.5. ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. Each of the Lenders Agent and the
Receivables Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to give an Enforcement Notice

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Lenders Agent shall not otherwise take any
action to foreclose or realize upon or to enforce any rights it may
have with respect to uncommingled Returned Goods without the
Receivables Agent's prior written consent unless the Receivables Claim
shall have been first paid and satisfied in full and the Receivables
Documents have terminated.

parties agree to cooperate in the disposition of such Returned Goods
and Inventory and the application of the proceeds thereof as provided

for the worth of the Receivables Assets or the Lenders Collateral, or for
statements of WESCO, any other Originator, the Receivables Seller or the Credit
Parties, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of
the Receivables Claim, the Lenders Claim, the Receivables Documents, the Loan
Documents, the Receivables Agent's interest in the Receivables Assets or the
Lenders' or Lenders Agent's interest in the Lenders Collateral. The Lenders and
the Receivables Purchasers have entered into their respective agreements with
WESCO, the Originators, the Receivables Seller or the Credit Parties, as
applicable, based upon their own independent investigations. None of the
Lenders, the Receivables Agent or the Receivables Purchasers makes any warranty
or representation to the other nor does it rely upon any representation of the
other with respect to matters identified or referred to in this SECTION 2.10.
2.11. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF PARTIES TO EACH OTHER. Except
with respect to liability for breach of an express obligation under this
Agreement, no party shall have any liability to any other party except for
liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party.
2.12. AMENDMENTS TO FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS OR TO THIS
AGREEMENT. The Lenders Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to give,
concurrently with any written amendment, waiver or other modification in the
Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral, prompt notice to the Receivables
Agent of the same and the Receivables Agent agrees to use
11
reasonable efforts to give, concurrently with any written amendment, waiver or
other modification in the Receivables Documents with respect to the Receivable
Assets or the Collateral, prompt notice to the Lenders Agent of the same;
PROVIDED, however, that the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action
against any party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on
behalf of any third party or affect any such amendment or modification. Each
party hereto shall, upon reasonable request of any other party hereto, provide
copies of all such modifications or amendments and copies of all other
agreements, instruments, filings or documentation relevant to the Receivables
Assets or the Lenders Collateral. All modifications or amendments of this
Agreement must be in writing and duly executed by an authorized officer of each
party hereto to be binding and enforceable.
2.13. MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. Nothing in this Agreement will be
deemed to require either the Receivables Agent or the Lenders Agent (i) to
proceed against certain property securing the Lenders Claim (or any other
obligation or liability under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents)
or the Receivables Claim (or any other obligation or liability under the
Receivables Documents), as applicable, prior to proceeding against other
property securing such Claim or obligations or liabilities or against certain
persons guaranteeing any such obligations or (ii) to marshal the Lenders
Collateral (or any other collateral) or the Receivables Assets (as applicable)
upon the enforcement of the Lenders Agent's or the Receivables Agent's remedies
under the Loan Documents or Receivables Documents, as applicable.
2.14. RELATIVE RIGHTS.
(a) The relative rights of the Lenders, each as against the
other, shall be determined by agreement among such parties in accordance with
the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Receivables
Agent and the Receivables Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on the power and
authority of the Lenders Agent to act on behalf of all of the Lenders to the
extent the provisions hereof have the Lenders Agent so act.
(b) The Lenders Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to
rely on the power and authority of the Receivables Agent to act on behalf of the
Purchaser Agents and Receivables Purchasers to the extent the provisions hereof
have the Receivables Agent so act.
2.15. EFFECT UPON LOAN DOCUMENTS AND RECEIVABLES DOCUMENTS. By
executing this Agreement, WESCO, the other Originators and the Receivables
Seller agree to be bound by the provisions hereof (i) as they relate to the
relative rights of the Lenders and the Lenders Agent with respect to the
property of WESCO; and (ii) as they relate to the relative rights of WESCO, the
other Originators, the Receivables Seller, the Receivables Purchasers, the
Purchaser Agents and/or the Receivables Agent as creditors of (or purchasers
from) WESCO, the other Originators, or the Receivables Seller, as the case may
be. Each of WESCO and the other Obligors acknowledges that the provisions of
this Agreement shall not give it or any other Credit Party any substantive
rights as against the Lenders Agent or the Lenders and that nothing in this
Agreement shall (except as expressly provided herein) amend, modify, change or
supersede the terms of the Loan Documents as between WESCO, the other Credit
Parties, the Lenders Agent and the Lenders. Each of the Receivables Seller,
WESCO and the other Obligors acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement
shall not give the Receivables Seller, WESCO, or the other
12
Originators any substantive rights as against the Receivables Agent, the
Purchaser Agents or the Receivables Purchasers and that nothing in this
Agreement shall (except as expressly provided herein) amend, modify, change or
supersede the terms of the Receivables Documents as among the Receivables
Seller, WESCO, the other Originators, the Receivables Agent, the Purchaser
Agents or the Receivables Purchasers. WESCO, the other Originators and the
Receivables Seller further acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement
shall not give any such party any substantive rights as against the other and
that nothing in this Agreement shall amend, modify, change or supersede the
terms of the Receivables Documents as among WESCO, the other Originators and the
Receivables Seller. To the extent possible, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Receivables Documents shall be read and construed together so
as to give full effect to each of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of
the Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Receivables Purchaser),
and the Lenders Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Lenders) agrees, that,
as between themselves, to the extent the terms and provisions of the other Loan
Documents or the Receivables Documents are inconsistent with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
control.
2.16. NATURE OF THE LENDERS CLAIM AND MODIFICATION OF LOAN
DOCUMENTS; NATURE OF RECEIVABLES CLAIM. (a) Each of the Receivables Seller and
the Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Receivables Purchaser)
acknowledge that the Lenders Claim and other obligations and liabilities owing
under the Loan Documents are revolving in nature and that the amount of such
revolving indebtedness which may be outstanding at any time or from time to time
may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed. Except as provided in
Section 2.12, the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents may
be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and the amount thereof may
be increased or reduced, all without notice to or consent by any of the
Receivables Seller, the Receivables Agent or the Receivables Purchasers and
without affecting the provisions of this Agreement. Without in any way limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each of the Receivables Seller and the
Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Receivables Purchaser)
hereby agrees that the maximum amount of the Lenders Claim and other obligations
and liabilities owing under the Loan Documents may be increased at any time and
from time to time to any amount.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.12, the terms of the
Receivables Documents may be modified, extended or amended from time to time,
and the amount thereof may be increased or reduced, all without notice to or
consent by the Lenders Agent and without affecting the provisions of this
Agreement. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Lenders Agent (for itself and on behalf of the Lenders) acknowledges that the
Receivables Claim and other obligations owing under the Receivables Documents
are revolving in nature and the amount of such indebtedness which may be
outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced in
accordance with the terms of the Receivables Documents.
2.17. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each of the parties agrees to take
such actions as may be reasonably requested by any other party, whether before,
during or after an Enforcement Period, in order to effect the rules of
distribution and allocation set forth above in this ARTICLE 2 and to otherwise
effectuate the agreements made in this ARTICLE 2.
13
2.18. TERMINATION AND CESSATION OF TRANSFER OF RECEIVABLES.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lenders Event of Default
and upon written notice thereof by the Lenders Agent to the Receivables Agent (a
"Receivables Termination Notice"), (i) WESCO, the other Originators and the
Receivables Seller shall terminate and cease all transfers of Receivables from
WESCO and the other Originators to the Receivables Seller and (ii) the
Receivables Seller and the Receivables Agent, Receivables Purchasers and
Purchaser Agents shall terminate and cease, or shall cause the termination and
cessation of, all transfers of Receivables from the Receivables Seller to the
Receivables Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents (all such termination and
cessation to be effective at the close of business on the date such notice is
effective in accordance with SECTION 3.1; provided that in the case of a Lenders
Event of Default resulting from the commencement of a Bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceeding relating to WESCO, any Originator or any other Credit Party,
all transfers of Receivables by the Originators to the Receivables Seller
immediately and automatically shall terminate and cease without notice of any
kind; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that neither the Receivables Agent, the Receivables
Purchasers nor the Purchaser Agents shall have any responsibility for ensuring
compliance by WESCO, the other Originators or the Receivables Seller with the
provisions of this SECTION 2.18.). Nothing contained in this Section shall
affect the rights of the Receivables Seller, Receivables Agent, Receivables
Purchasers or Purchaser Agents with respect to Receivables transferred prior to
delivery of such notice.
2.19 BLOCKED ACCOUNTS. The Receivables Agent (for itself and
on behalf of the Receivables Purchasers and Purchaser Agents) hereby consents to
the execution of blocked account agreements with respect to bank accounts held
in the name of the Receivables Seller (the "Blocked Account Agreements"), in
accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement (it being understood that
the interest of Lenders Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, in such bank
accounts and amounts held therein shall extend only to Unsold Receivables and
Collections and other proceeds in respect thereof). The Receivable Agent agrees,
upon the written request of the Lenders Agent (an "Initial Notification
Request"), to provide a written response stating whether or not the Receivables
Documents have been terminated and all monetary obligations under the
Receivables Documents have been satisfied in full and, if such termination and
satisfaction have occurred, to notify the applicable banks under the Blocked
Account Agreements (it being understood that the Lenders Agent shall deliver an
Initial Notification Request only if it believes in good faith that the
Receivables Documents may have been terminated and all monetary obligations
thereunder may have been paid, or if the Lenders Agent has been instructed in
good faith by the Requisite Lenders to make such Initial Notification Request).
If the Receivables Agent does not respond in writing within five (5) Business
Days of its receipt of the Initial Notification Request, the Lenders Agent may
deliver a second notice (the "Final Notification Request") to the Receivables
Agent asking it to provide a written response stating whether or not the
Receivables Documents have been terminated and all monetary obligations under
the Receivable Documents have been satisfied in full and, if such termination
and satisfaction have occurred, to notify the applicable banks under the Blocked
Account Agreements. In the event that the Receivables Agent has not responded in
writing within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of the Final Notification
Request, the Lenders Agent shall be entitled to activate the Blocked Account
Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, if
the Receivables Agent responds in writing to an Initial Notification Request or
a Final
14
Notification Request within the respective time periods allowed herein for such
response, and such written response states that the Receivables Documents have
not terminated or that all monetary obligations in respect thereof have not been
satisfied, the Lenders Agent (regardless of whether it disputes the statements
set forth in such response) shall not be entitled to activate any of the Blocked
Accounts (or otherwise notify the applicable account banks to take other actions
with respect to such Blocked Accounts) unless and until the Receivables Agent
shall have indicated in writing (or a court of competent jurisdiction shall have
determined) that the Receivables Documents have been terminated and all monetary
obligations in respect thereof have been satisfied.
2.20 NO PETITION. The Lenders Agent, on behalf of itself and
the Lenders, agrees that it shall not institute against or join any other Person
in instituting against the Receivables Seller or a Receivables Purchaser any
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other
proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law
until after the payment in full of the Receivable Claims and termination of the
Receivable Documents.
ARTICLE 3. MISCELLANEOUS
3.1. NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including
communication by facsimile copy) and mailed, telexed, transmitted or delivered,
as to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the
signature pages hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and
communications shall be effective upon receipt, or, in the case of notice by
mail, five (5) days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, or in
the case of notice by facsimile copy, when verbal confirmation of receipt is
obtained, in each case addressed as aforesaid.
3.2. AGREEMENT ABSOLUTE. Each of the Receivables Agent and the
Receivables Purchasers shall be deemed to have entered into and continued with
the Receivables Documents in express reliance upon this Agreement and the
Lenders and the Lenders Agent shall be deemed to have entered into and continued
with the Loan Documents in express reliance upon this Agreement. This Agreement
may not be amended or otherwise modified, unless such amendment or other
modification is agreed to in writing by all of the parties hereto. This
Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition
by or against WESCO, any other Originator or the Receivables Seller or any
Credit Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and all references herein to WESCO,
any other Originator or the Receivables Seller or any Credit Party shall be
deemed to apply to a debtor-in-possession for such party and all allocations of
payments between the Lenders and the Receivables Purchasers shall, subject to
any court order to the contrary, continue to be made after the filing of such
petition on the same basis that the payments were to be applied prior to the
date of the petition.
3.3. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. The successors and assigns for WESCO and the Receivables
Seller shall include a debtor-in-possession or trustee of or for such party. The
successors and assigns for the Lenders, the
15
Receivables Purchasers, Purchaser Agents, the Lenders Agent and the Receivables
Agent, as the case may be, shall include any successor Lenders, Receivables
Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, Lenders Agent and Receivables Agent, as the
case may be, appointed under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Receivables
Documents, as applicable. Each of the Lenders Agent (for itself and on behalf of
each Lenders) and the Receivables Agent (for itself and on behalf of each
Receivables Purchaser), as the case may be, agrees not to transfer any interest
it may have in the Loan Documents or the Receivables Documents unless such
transferee has been notified of the existence of this Agreement and its terms
and conditions. In the event that the financing provided under the Credit
Agreement shall be refinanced, replaced, refunded or restated, WESCO, the
Receivables Seller and the Receivables Agent hereby agree, at the request of the
agent or lenders under the credit facility that so refinances, replaces, refunds
or restates, the financing under the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver a
new intercreditor agreement with such agent and/or lenders on substantially the
same terms as herein provided. In the event that the financing provided under
the Receivables Documents shall be refinanced, replaced, refunded or restated,
the Lenders Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Lenders) hereby agrees that,
at the request of the agent or purchasers under the facility that so refinances,
replaces, refunds or restates the financing under the Receivables Documents, to
execute and deliver a new intercreditor agreement with such agent and/or
purchasers on substantially the same terms as herein provided.
3.4. BENEFICIARIES. The terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall be for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, the Lenders, the Purchaser
Agents and the Receivables Purchasers and their respective successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or priority by reason
of this Agreement.
3.5. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN XXX XXXX XXXXXX, XXXX XX XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX SHALL HAVE
EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE
PARTIES HERETO PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
3.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY
RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE
STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES
DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.
THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL
SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT
OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED
AMONG
16
THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.
3.7. SECTION TITLES. The article and section headings
contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or
content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the
parties hereto.
3.8. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
3.9. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page by telecopy machine shall be
as effective as delivery of a manually signed, original signature page.
