(“ePlus”), entered into Amendment No. 10 (the "Amendments") to both its Amended and Restated Agreement for Wholesale Financing, dated July 23, 2012, as amended, and Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement, dated July 23, 2012, as amended, with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC ("Wells Fargo") (f/k/a GE Commercial Distribution Finance), in connection with its credit facility.

Pursuant to the Amendments, the WFCDF credit facility aggregate limit of the two components was increased to $275.0 million except during a temporary uplift. Additionally, we have an election to temporarily increase the aggregate limit to $350.0 million for a period of not less than 30 days, provided that all such periods shall not exceed 150 days in the aggregate in any calendar year. Further, the amendment increased the limit on the accounts receivable component of the WFCDF credit facility to $100.0 million, reduced the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.00%, and removed certain restrictions on ePlus Technology, inc.’s ability to pay dividends to ePlus inc.

The Company maintains deposit accounts with Wells Fargo, and from time to time the Company and its affiliates sell IT products and services to affiliates of Wells Fargo.  There are no other material relationships between the Company and Wells Fargo.
