Exhibit 10.1

ADDENDUM

THIS ADDENDUM (the “Addendum”) to the Master Distributor Agreement effective as of March 12, 2014 (the “Distributor Agreement”) is effective as of April 2, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between and Xilinx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having offices at 2100 Logic Drive, San Jose, CA 95124, Xilinx Ireland Unlimited Company (formerly known as Xilinx Ireland), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland and having its registered office at 2020 Bianconi Avenue, Citywest Business Campus, Saggart, Co. Dublin, and Xilinx Sales International Pte. Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of Singapore, having its principal office at 5 Changi Business Park Vista, Singapore 486040 (collectively and individually “Xilinx”), and Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation, having its principal office at 2211 South 47th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034 (“Distributor”).

BACKGROUND

I.    Xilinx and Distributor are parties to the Distributor Agreement, and

II.    Xilinx and Distributor desire to focus on growing Xilinx’s channel business through enhanced sales support and account management at Distributor, and

III.    This Addendum sets forth the terms by which Xilinx will manage adjustments to Distributor’s account due to customer-specific suggested prices and creates a framework for Xilinx and Distributor to set development and performance measures.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

		
	1.
	Definitions.

		
	1.1.
	Distributor Demand Creation (or DDC) means sales demand that is created by Distributor; Xilinx may move customers to or from this demand creation classification at any time upon written notice to Distributor.

		
	1.2.
	Shared Demand Creation (or SDC) means sales demand that is created by both Distributor and Xilinx; Xilinx may move customers to or from this demand creation classification at any time upon written notice to Distributor.

		
	1.3.
	Xilinx Demand Creation (or XDC) means sales demand that is created by Xilinx; Xilinx may move customers to or from this demand creation classification at any time upon written notice to Distributor.

		
	1.4.
	All capitalized terms, if not defined in this Addendum, have the same meaning as in the Distributor Agreement.

		
	2.
	Authorized Suggested Resale Price.  

		
	2.1.
	From time to time, Xilinx may provide Distributor with an Authorized Suggested Resale Price (or “Authorized SRP”) for certain Products for sales to certain customers (“Authorized Customers”) that is lower than Xilinx’s Suggested Resale Price as published in the Price Book.  When Xilinx provides Distributor with an Authorized SRP, Xilinx will also provide Distributor with an Authorized Adjusted Distributor Cost (or “Authorized ADC”) for the Products.  

1 of 7

Thereafter, Xilinx will reduce the amount Distributor currently owes Xilinx by an amount that is equal to the difference between the Book Price and the Authorized ADC for Distributor’s sales to the Authorized Customer.
		
	2.2.
	Authorized ADC is calculated by subtracting a percentage (the “Authorized Distributor Margin” or “ADM”) of Authorized SRP from the Authorized SRP.  Except in limited circumstances and based on the need to meet competitive pricing, Xilinx will apply an Authorized Distributor Margin using the Standard Authorized Distributor Margin Percentages (“Standard Percentages”) indicated in the table below based upon the region and product category applicable to the Product and Authorized Customer’s delivery location. 

		
	2.3.
	When Distributor issues a quotation, sales contract, offer to sell, or other communication concerning a price based entirely or in part on an Authorized SRP (a “Customer Price”), Distributor must clearly state that the Customer Price offered is applicable solely to the Authorized Customer associated with the Authorized SRP, as issued by Xilinx.  

		
	2.4.
	Authorized Distributor Margin does not apply to Distributor’s list sales (where Distributor purchases from Xilinx at Book Price and sells Products to customers at the price agreed between Distributor and the customer).

	3.
	Sales Exhibit.  This Addendum incorporates the sales exhibit attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Sales Exhibit”).  Unless indicated otherwise, all revenue figures contained in this Addendum, including the Sales Exhibit are post-split.  The parties may agree to issue additional Sales Exhibits under this Addendum by executing a document similar to Exhibit A that references this Addendum (each a “Sales Exhibit”).  

		
	4.
	Grandfather Period.  In the event that a customer is moved from Distributor Demand Creation to Shared Demand Creation, Distributor Demand Creation or Shared Demand Creation to Xilinx demand creation, or from Shared Demand Creation to Xilinx Demand Creation, Xilinx will provide a [***] year “grandfather” period where Distributor will maintain the existing ADM then in effect for continuing sales that are subject to an existing Adjusted SRP at the beginning of the grandfather 

2 of 7

period.  Customer accounts that are moved to a Xilinx direct fulfillment model are not subject to a grandfather period.

		
	5.
	Entire Agreement.  This Addendum represents and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, may only be amended in writing signed by both parties, and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, arrangements, and understandings with respect to incentive programs, target margins, expansion programs, and other matters covered by this Addendum.  In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Distributor Agreement, the terms of this Addendum supersede any conflicting terms of the Distributor Agreement.  The foregoing notwithstanding, this Addendum does not terminate the remaining period of any currently existing grandfather periods.

To evidence the parties’ agreement to this Addendum, they have signed and delivered it on the date(s) below, but as of the date set forth in the preamble.

EXHIBIT 10.182

AMENDMENT TO ITC HOLDINGS CORP.
2017 OMNIBUS PLAN
This Amendment to the ITC Holdings Corp. 2017 Omnibus Plan (the “Plan”) is made this 10th day of July, 2017 pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Plan.
1.  The definition of “Retirement” in Section 1.3 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Retirement” means the retirement of a Participant from Service with the Company or a Subsidiary upon or after attaining “normal retirement age” as defined in the International Transmission Company Retirement Plan as in effect from time to time.
2.  Section 4.1(e) is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Each Participant’s Unit Account shall be credited with additional Units equal to the “dividend equivalent” when a cash dividend is paid on Common Shares. Such “dividend equivalent” shall be equal to a fraction where the numerator is the product of (a) the number of Units in such Participant’s Unit Account on the date that dividends are paid, including Units previously credited as “dividend equivalents,” multiplied by (b) the dividend paid per Common Share, and the denominator of which is the Market Price of one Common Share calculated on the date that dividends are paid, converted to U.S. dollars based on the Award Conversion Rate. Any additional Units credited to a Participant’s Unit Account as a “dividend equivalent” shall have a Payment Date or Vesting Date, as applicable, which is the same as the Payment Date or Vesting Date, as applicable, for the Units in respect of which such additional Units are credited.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have discretion to modify the terms and timing of payment relating to dividend equivalents or to determine that any Unit Award is not entitled to dividend equivalents, in each case as set forth in the applicable Agreement.
3.  Section 7.3 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board, in whole or in part, except as to rights already accrued hereunder unless the affected Participant consents to any such change in writing; provided, however, that an amendment, suspension or termination the effect of which is not adverse to such Participant shall not require such Participant’s consent. If the Plan is terminated, prior awards shall, at the discretion of the Committee, either (a) subject to Section 2.5, become immediately payable in accordance with Article V or Section 6.3, as applicable, or (b) remain outstanding and in effect in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions.  In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall pay all outstanding amounts in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Plan and the Plan will terminate as of the later of the effective date of such Change of Control or the completion of the payment of all Awards under the Plan.
4.  Except as specifically modified herein, the remaining provisions of the Plan remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ITC Holdings Corp. has caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
