Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The Companys Receivable Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2000 among Graybar Commerce Corporation, as Seller; Graybar Electric Company, Inc., as Servicer; Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation, as Conduit; JPMorgan Chase Bank NA (successor by merger to Bank One, NA), as Agent; and other banks named therein was renewed for a period of 364 days, effective as of October 9, 2009. The Company elected to reduce the size of the facility from $215,000,000 to $100,000,000 because of the Companys reduced need for borrowing capacity and the increased cost of
maintaining the larger facility. In addition, the requirements for the amount of receivables eligible to act as collateral were amended and the consolidated leverage ratio was modified in order to make it consistent with the covenants in the Companys other financing documents.
