Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 26, 2010, Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"), as the Servicer, and Avnet Receivable Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Seller, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 26, 2010 (the "Purchase Agreement"), with the Financial Institutions party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent. Under and subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Company may sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $600,000,000 in eligible receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The Company’s securitization facility does not qualify for sale treatment and, as a result, any borrowings under the facility are recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Purchase Agreement supersedes that certain Receivable Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2001 (the "Original Purchase Agreement"), as the same had been amended. The securitization facility under the Purchase Agreement expires on August 25, 2011. At the present time, $300,000,000 is outstanding under the facility.
The summary of the accounts receivable securitization facility described above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Concurrent with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also amended the Receivables Sale Agreement which amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
