Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 28, 2007, ScanSource, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a 5-year $250 million multicurrency revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks led by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as lead arranger and book runner, Wachovia Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, and Regions Bank and Wells Fargo, N.A. serving as documentation agents. This revolving credit facility has a $50 million accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility up to a total of $300 million subject to obtaining commitments for the incremental capacity from existing or new lenders. This revolving credit facility refinances and replaces the Company’s previous $180 million multicurrency revolving credit facility. The loans under the New Credit Facility will be available for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

The New Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and some of its subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the New Credit Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the applicable LIBO rate or prime rate, as chosen by the Company. This spread is dependent on the Company’s ratio of Total Debt to EBITDA and ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% for LIBOR-based loans, and from 0.00% to 0.25% for prime rate-based loans. The spread in effect at closing was 0.625% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% for prime rate-based loans.

The New Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including, among others, restrictions on the payment of cash dividends) and events of default (and related remedies, including acceleration and increased interest rates following an event of default). It also contains financial covenants tied to the Company’s leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio

A copy of the New Credit Agreement is provided as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Company’s press release dated October 1, 2007 announcing the new facility is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference and made available through the Company’s website at www.scansource.com.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

The New Credit Agreement referenced in Item 1.01 above refinanced and replaced the Company’s previous Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 16, 2004 among the Company and certain subsidiaries and the lenders named therein, which established a $180 million multicurrency revolving credit line (with a $20 million accordion feature).
