distribution of IPS products in the United States, providing financing for eligible IPS inventory
and for certain receivables up to $30.5 million through its expiration in March 2009. As of
September 30, 2008, Supplies Distributors had $5.6 million of available credit under this facility.
The credit facility contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of

loans and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb,
Inc.), provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock

includes a monthly service fee. Given the structure of this facility and as outstanding balances,
