Ladies and/or Gentlemen:
This Fifth Amended and Restated Notes Payable Subordination Agreement amends and restates in
its entirety the Amended and Restated Notes Payable Subordination Agreement dated November 13, 2002
executed by Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (PFS). Supplies Distributors, Inc., with its
principal place of business at 500 North Central Expressway, Plano, TX 75074 (SDI), is/may become
further indebted to PFS. PFS represents that no part of said indebtedness has been assigned to or
subordinated in favor of any other person, firm or corporation, other than pursuant to the Notes
Payable Subordination Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2002 by and between PFS and Wachovia Bank,
National Association (formerly known as Congress Financial Corporation (Southwest)) (Wachovia)
(Notes Payable Subordination Agreement) and that PFS does not hold any security therefor.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the
Financing Agreement referred to below.
To induce
IBM Credit LLC (IBM Credit) to continue financing SDI under the terms of the
Agreement for Inventory Financing dated March 29, 2002 with SDI (as amended, modified, and
supplemented from time to time, the Financing Agreement) and in consideration of any loans,
advances, payments, extensions or credit (including the extension or renewal, in whole or in part,
of any antecedent or other debt), benefits or financial accommodations heretofore or hereafter
made, granted or extended by IBM Credit or which IBM Credit has or will become obligated to make,
grant or extend to or for the account of SDI whether under the Financing Agreement or otherwise,
and in consideration of any obligations heretofore or hereafter incurred by SDI to IBM Credit,
whether under the Financing Agreement or otherwise, PFS agrees to make the payment of the
indebtedness referred to in the first paragraph hereof and any and all other present or future
indebtedness of SDI to PFS together with any and all interest accrued thereon (collectively the
Secondary Obligations) subject and subordinate to the prior indefeasible payment in full of any
and all debts, obligations and liabilities of SDI to IBM Credit, whether absolute or contingent,
due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct or acquired by IBM
Credit by transfer, assignment or otherwise (collectively the Primary Obligations) and that SDI
shall make no payments to PFS until the Primary Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full as
acknowledged in writing by IBM Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SDI may make payments in
respect of the Secondary Obligations provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists
immediately prior to the payment of the Secondary Obligations and that no Default or Event of
Default will occur after any payment in respect of the Secondary Obligations (ii) any such payment
shall not cause the total amount of the Secondary Obligations to be less than Six Million Dollars
($6,000,000), and (iii) such payment would be permitted under the Notes Payable Subordination
Agreement. Except as provided above, PFS agrees not to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive
payment or security for all or any part of the Secondary Obligations until and unless all of the
Primary Obligations shall have been fully paid and discharged.
Upon any distribution of any assets of SDI whether by reason of sale, reorganization,
liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, bankruptcy, receivership, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, foreclosure or otherwise, IBM Credit shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the
Primary Obligations prior to the payment of any part of the Secondary Obligations. To enable IBM Credit
to enforce its rights hereunder in any such proceeding or upon the happening of any such event, IBM Credit or any person
whom IBM Credit may from time to time designate is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact
for PFS with full power to act in the place and stead of PFS including the right to make, present,
file and vote proofs of claim against SDI on account of all or any part of said Secondary
Obligations as IBM Credit may deem
