 4 







 (j) from time to time such additional information regarding the financial position or
business of ScanSource, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Borrower) as the Bank may reasonably request. 
  
 SECTION 5.02 Subsidiaries. (a) The Borrower and Guarantors shall cause any Person (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement)
which becomes a Material Subsidiary (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) to become a party to, and agree to be bound by the terms of, this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank in all
respects and executed and delivered to the Bank within ten (10) Domestic Business Days (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) after the day on which such Person became a Material Subsidiary. The Borrower and Guarantors shall also cause the
items specified in Section 3.01(c), (f), (h), (i) and (n) of the ScanSource Loan Agreement to be delivered to the Bank concurrently with the instrument referred to above, modified appropriately to refer to such instrument and such Material
Subsidiary. 
  
 (b) The Borrower and Guarantors
shall, and shall cause any subsidiary of the Borrower or Guarantors (the “Pledgor Subsidiary”) to, pledge as collateral for all indebtedness and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents the lesser of 65% or the entire
interest owned by ScanSource, Inc. and such Pledgor Subsidiary, of the shares of capital stock or equivalent equity interests in any Person which becomes a Material Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to a pledge agreement in form and content satisfactory
to the Bank executed and delivered by the Borrower or such Pledgor Subsidiary to the Bank within ten (10) Domestic Business Days after the day on which such Person became a Material Foreign Subsidiary and shall deliver to the Bank such shares of
capital stock together with stock powers executed in blank. ScanSource, Inc. shall also cause the items specified in Section 3.01(c), (f) and (n) of the ScanSource Loan Agreement to be delivered to the Bank concurrently with the pledge agreement
referred to above, modified appropriately to refer to such pledge agreement, pledgor and such Material Foreign Subsidiary. As used herein, “Material Foreign Subsidiary” means a Foreign Subsidiary (as defined in the ScanSource Loan
Agreement) which accounts for (or in the case of a recently formed or acquired Foreign Subsidiary (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) would so account for on a pro forma historical basis) at least 2% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined
in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) or has total assets of at least $100,000. The Borrower and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the Bank may at any one time after the Closing Date request the Borrower to obtain (and the Borrower shall deliver
to the Bank within 30 calendar days of such request) a legal opinion in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Bank from counsel licensed in Canada confirming that the Pledge Agreement constitutes a valid, enforceable and perfected first
priority security interest in and lien upon the 
  

 5 







 Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) under the applicable laws of Canada. 
  
 (c) Once any Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary and
therefore becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.02 or any shares of capital stock of a Material Foreign Subsidiary are pledged to the Bank in accordance with Section 5.02, such Subsidiary (including, without limitation, the
Guarantors) thereafter shall remain a party to this Agreement and the shares of capital stock in such Material Foreign Subsidiary (including, without limitation, all initial Material Foreign Subsidiaries) shall remain subject to the pledge to the
Bank, as the case may be, even if: (i) such Material Subsidiary ceases to be a Material Subsidiary; or (ii) such Foreign Subsidiary ceases to be a Material Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if a Material Subsidiary or Material Foreign Subsidiary
ceases to be a Subsidiary of ScanSource, Inc. as a result of the transfer or sale of one hundred percent (100%) of the capital stock of such Subsidiary in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the terms of Section 5.14 of the ScanSource
Loan Agreement, the Bank agrees to release such Subsidiary from the Guaranty and release the shares of capital stock of such Subsidiary from the Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge that ScanSource Properties, LLC is not a Guarantor because
ScanSource, Inc. has advised the Bank that ScanSource Properties, LLC is party to an agreement that prohibits ScanSource Properties, LLC from being a guarantor (the “Restrictive Provision”). The Borrower and Guarantors shall immediately
notify the Bank if there is any modification, expiration or termination of the Restrictive Provision. The Borrower and Guarantors shall cause ScanSource Properties, LLC to become a party to, and agree to be bound by the terms of, this Agreement
pursuant to a joinder agreement, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank in all respects and executed and delivered to the Bank within ten (10) Domestic Business Days after the day on which there is any modification, expiration or termination
of the Restrictive Provision which would allow ScanSource Properties, LLC to execute such documentation. The Borrower shall also cause the items specified in Section 3.01(c), (f), (h), (i) and (n) of the ScanSource Loan Agreement to be delivered to
the Bank concurrently with the instruments referred to above, modified appropriately to refer to such instrument and ScanSource Properties, LLC. 
  
 SECTION 5.03 ScanSource Loan Agreement. The Borrower and Guarantors covenant and agree that from the date hereof and until payment
in full of the Term Loan, and the payment in full of all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrower and Guarantors shall observe, perform and fulfill, for the benefit of the Bank, all of those covenants and
agreements, as the same are in effect on the date hereof, contained in the ScanSource Loan Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof, the provisions of which (including, where pertinent, the defined terms used in other Sections of the 

 

 6 







 ScanSource Loan Agreement referenced, in such Sections) are incorporated herein by reference, without
regard and without giving effect to any waivers given by the Banks (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) with respect to, or amendments agreed to by the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Banks (as defined in the ScanSource Loan Agreement) of
any of such covenants and agreements, which covenants and agreements the Borrower and Guarantors will continue to observe, perform and fulfill for the benefit of the Bank notwithstanding that the indebtedness under the ScanSource Loan Agreement has
been or hereafter may be partially or fully repaid or the fact that the ScanSource Loan Agreement otherwise might be terminated. 
  
 SECTION 2.05. Amendment to Applicable Margin. The term “Applicable Margin” as defined on Schedule A to LIBOR Addendum attached to the
Note and as modified by the Amended and Restated Agreement shall mean the “Applicable Margin” determined in accordance with Section 2.06 of the ScanSource Loan Agreement, plus 0.15% per annum. For purposes of determining the Applicable
Margin for any day the Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.06 of the ScanSource Loan Agreement and changes to the Applicable Margin shall be effective on the date of each such change.

the date hereof. 
  
 SECTION 4. No Other Amendment. Except
for the amendments set forth above, the text of the Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment is not intended to effect, nor shall it be construed as, a novation. The Loan Agreement and this Amendment shall
be construed together as a single agreement. Nothing herein contained shall waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Agreement, except as herein amended, nor affect nor impair any rights,
powers or remedies under the Loan Agreement as hereby amended. The Bank does hereby reserve all of its rights and remedies against all parties who may be or may hereafter 
  

 7

 (d) The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance
hereunder and thereunder by the Borrower and Guarantors do not and will not require the consent or approval of any regulatory authority or governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Borrower or either Guarantor, nor be in
contravention of or in conflict with the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Borrower or either Guarantor, or the provision of any statute, or any judgment, order or indenture, instrument, agreement or undertaking, to which the Borrower or
