SECTION 3. Amendments
(a) Amendment to Section 10.1(a). Section 10.1(a) of the
original Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following (solely for
convenience changed language is italicized):
"(a) The Company and each Bank Investor hereby appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance, and without
limiting the generality, of the foregoing, the Company and
each Bank Investor hereby appoints the Agent as its agent to
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action that the Agent may deem necessary or
appropriate or that the Company or a Bank Investor may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the interests transferred or to be transferred from
time to time by the Transferor hereunder, or to enable any of
them to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution by the
Agent as secured party/assignee of such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments
thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables now
existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes
stated hereinabove. The Company and/or the Majority Investors
may direct the Agent to take any such incidental action
hereunder. With respect to other actions which are incidental
to the actions specifically delegated to the Agent hereunder,
the Agent shall not be required to take any such incidental
action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting) upon the direction of the Majority
Investors; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required
to take any action hereunder if the taking of such action, in
the reasonable determination of the Agent, shall be in
violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or
contrary to any provision of this Agreement or shall expose
the
0111920.07-01S7a
3
Agent to liability hereunder or otherwise. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Termination Event or
Potential Termination Event, the Agent shall take no action
hereunder (other than ministerial actions or such actions as
are specifically provided for herein) without the prior
consent of the Majority Investors (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Agent shall not,
without the prior written consent of all Bank Investors, agree
to (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement
in any way which would (A) reduce or impair Collections or the
payment of Discount or fees payable hereunder to the Bank
Investors or delay the scheduled dates for payment of such
amounts, (B) increase the Servicing Fee (other than as
permitted pursuant to Section 6.2(b)), (C) modify any
provisions of this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase
Agreement relating to the timing of payments required to be
made by the Transferor, the Seller or the Guarantor or the
application of the proceeds of such payments, (D) permit the
appointment of any Person (other than the Agent) as successor
Collection Agent, (E) release any property from the lien
provided by this Agreement (other than as expressly
contemplated herein) or (F) release Tech Data from any of its
obligations under the Guaranty. Notwithstanding Section 11.2
hereof, the Agent (together with the Transferor, Tech Data,
the Company and the applicable Bank Investor or financial
institution) may agree to any amendment of this Agreement
which (A) increases the dollar amount of a Bank Investor's
Commitment (and similarly increases the Facility Limit and the
Maximum Net Investment) or (B) increases the Facility Limit
(and similarly increases the Maximum Net Investment) by adding
a financial institution as a Bank Investor party hereto;
provided, that in each case after giving effect to any such
amendment the aggregate Bank Investors' Commitment at least
equals the Facility Limit, and provided, further, that no such
amendment shall increase the dollar amount of a Bank
Investor's Commitment without the prior consent of such Bank
Investor. In addition, the Agent shall not agree to any
amendment of this Agreement not specifically described in the
two preceding sentences without the consent of the related
Majority Investors (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). "Majority Investors" shall mean, at any
time, the Agent and those Bank Investors which hold
Commitments aggregating in excess of 66 and 2/3% of the
Facility Limit as of such date. In the event the
0111920.07-01S7a
4
Agent requests the Company's or a Bank Investor's consent
pursuant to the foregoing provisions and the Agent does not
receive a consent (either positive or negative) from the
Company or such Bank Investor within 10 Business Days of the
Company's or Bank Investor's receipt of such request, then the
Company or such Bank Investor (and its percentage interest
hereunder) shall be disregarded in determining whether the
Agent shall have obtained sufficient consent hereunder. "
(b) Amendment to Section 10.5. Section 10.5 of the original
Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following (solely for
convenience additional language is italicized):
"SECTION 10.5 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to each Bank Investor,
the Company and the Transferor and may be removed at any time
with cause by the Majority Investors. Upon any such
resignation or removal, (i) if no Termination Event shall have
occurred, the Transferor,with the consent of the Majority
Investors, shall appoint a successor Agent and (ii) if a
Termination Event shall have occurred, the Company and the
Majority Investors shall appoint a successor Agent. The
Transferor and the Company and each Bank Investor, as
applicable, each agrees that it shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its approval of the appointment of a
successor Agent. If no such successor Agent shall have been so
appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30
days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation or the Majority Investors' removal of the retiring
Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Company
and the Bank Investors, appoint a successor Agent which
successor Agent shall be either (i) a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States or of any state
thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall

original Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following (solely for

delegate any of its duties hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company and the Majority Investors. No
provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the
