THIS WAIVER AND FIRST AMENDMENT TO RECEIVABLES FACILITY LOAN DOCUMENTS, dated as of September 29, 2016 (this “Amendment”), is made by and among ANIXTER RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), ANIXTER INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Servicer”), the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein) party hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2015, by and among the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders (as defined therein) and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”); and that certain Security Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2015, by and between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive a certain Amortization Event as hereinafter provided, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Required Lenders are willing to do so; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain terms of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement as hereinafter provided and the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders are willing to make such modifications, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of their mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
1.Definitions.  Defined terms used herein unless otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement and the rules of construction set forth in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment.
2.    Waiver.  Pursuant to Section 6.01(d) of the Credit Agreement, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Perfection Certification or a supplement to the Perfection Certificate.  For the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2015, the Borrower failed to make such delivery, which failure constitutes an Amortization Event under Article IX(d) of the Credit Agreement.  The Required Lenders hereby waive the aforementioned Amortization Event.  The foregoing waiver is limited to the aforementioned Amortization Event and does not constitute a waiver of any other Amortization Event or indicate an agreement on the part of the Required Lenders to grant any such waiver in the future.
3.    Amendment of Credit Agreement.

(a)    Each reference to “Chase” and “Chase Parties” in the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with “JPMCB” and “JPMCB Parties”, respectively.

(i)    “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day, subject to the interest rate floors set forth therein.  Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.  If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clause (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.
(ii)    Last paragraph in the definition of “Applicable Rate”:  “For purposes of the foregoing, the Applicable Rate shall be redetermined by the Administrative Agent as of the first day of each Fiscal Quarter.”
(iii)    clause (ee) of the definition of “Eligible Receivables”:  “(ee) if it was acquired in an acquisition permitted by Section 7.04(a)(v), until the completion of a field examination of such Receivable reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which field examination may be conducted prior to the closing of such acquisition); or”

2

(ii)    “Federal Funds Effective Rate” means, for any day, the rate calculated by the NYFRB based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depositary institutions (as determined in such manner as the NYFRB shall set forth on its public website from time to time) and published on the next succeeding Business Day by the NYFRB as the federal funds effective rate.  

(iii)    “NYFRB” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
(iv)    “NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on such day (or for any day that is not a Banking Day, for the immediately preceding Banking Day); provided that if none of such rates are published for any day that is a Business Day, the term “NYFRB Rate” means the rate for a federal funds transaction quoted at 11:00 a.m. on such day received by the Administrative Agent from a Federal funds broker of recognized standing selected by it provided, further, that if any of the aforesaid rates shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(d)    Section 6.01(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(d) commencing with the 2016 calendar year and thereafter, in the event that there the aggregate value of the Collateral described in a Perfection Certificate or supplement thereto has changed in an amount of $1,000,000 or more for a Fiscal Year, as soon as available but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of such Fiscal Year and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, a Perfection Certificate or a supplement to the Perfection Certificate;”
(e)    The last sentence of Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Borrower or any member of the Consolidated Group be liable for any costs or expenses relating to any matter referred to in this Section other than those matters for which it is expressly provided that such matters are at the Borrower’s “sole cost and expense”, provided that the cost and expense of any field examination described in clause (ee) of the definition of “Eligible Receivables” shall also be included as a cost and expense of the Borrower covered under this Section 6.06.”

The Servicer shall maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Collection Account Agreement) of each Lock-Box and each Collection Account pursuant to the Receivables Facility Transactions and shall ensure that no right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account is granted at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person except to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Transactions Documents.”

The Grantor shall close any of its Collection Accounts (and establish replacement Collection Accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days after notice from the Administrative Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, 

4

(b)    The first sentence of Section 7.1(a) of the Security Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Except as set forth on Schedule 6.22 of the Credit Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, the Grantor shall (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent Collection Account Agreements for each Collection Account (other than the Communication Cables Account) maintained by the Grantor into which all cash, checks or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables will be deposited, which Collection Accounts are identified as such on Exhibit B, and (ii) establish Lock-Boxes with the bank(s) set forth on Exhibit B, which Lock-Boxes shall be subject to irrevocable lockbox agreements in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the Lock-Box is located of the Lien of the Administrative Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to the related Collection Account (each, a “Lock-Box Agreement”).”

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer, by executing this Amendment, hereby certifies and confirms that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and any and all other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith (i) have been authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Borrower and the Servicer, (ii) will not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or (iii) conflict with or violate the Borrower’s Organization Documents; (b) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement (each as amended by this Amendment) and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on the date hereof with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except representations and warranties which relate solely to an earlier date or time, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof)  on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein); (c) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event under the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment; and (d) the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement (each as amended by this Amendment) and all other Loan Documents are and remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Borrower and the Servicer each reconfirms, restates, and ratifies each of  Loan Documents to which it is a party and except as amended by this Amendment, each of the Borrower and the Servicer confirms that all such Loan Documents to which it is party remain in full force and effect since the date of their execution.
8.    Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Illinois, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.
9.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and delivery of executed signature pages hereof by telecopy or other electronic transmission from one party to another shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery of this Amendment by such party.
10.    Release; Indemnification.
(a)    Release.

This provision shall survive and continue in 

6

full force and effect whether or not the Borrower and the Servicer shall satisfy all other provisions of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) or the other Loan Documents.
(b)    Related Indemnity.  The Borrower or the Servicer hereby agrees that its release of the Releasees set forth in Section 10(a) shall include an obligation to indemnify and hold the Releasees, or any of them, harmless with respect to any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by the Releasees, or any of them, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to any proceeding by, or on behalf of any Person, including officers, directors, agents, trustees, creditors, partners or shareholders of the Borrower or the Servicer or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower or the Servicer, whether threatened or initiated, asserting any claim for legal or equitable remedy under any statutes, regulation, common law principle or otherwise arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of this Amendment or any other document executed in connection herewith; provided, that neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall be liable for any indemnification to a Releasee to the extent that any such liability, obligation, loss, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement results from the applicable Releasee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and the other Loan Documents.
