AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, any initially
capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the
Loan Agreement.

amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“(d) upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall, at its expense, no more than two (2)
times in any twelve (12) month period, but at any time or times as Lender may
request on and after an Event of Default, deliver or cause to be delivered to
Lender, Acceptable Appraisals as to the Inventory;”
(c) Section 9.17 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety
as follows:

Adjusted Tangible Net Worth plus the amount of any Indebtedness on account of any
loan by PFSweb or its Affiliates to Borrower of not less than Zero Dollars ($0) as
of the last day of each fiscal quarter (it being understood that no rent reserve for

(d) The first sentence of Section 12.1(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
to read in its entirety as follows:
“This Agreement and the other Financing Agreements shall become effective as of the
date set forth on the first page hereof and shall continue in full force and effect

year thereafter, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.”

Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the then current
term or renewal term of this Agreement, in view of the impracticality and extreme
difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as
to a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower
agrees to pay to Lender, upon the effective date of such termination, an early
termination fee in the amount of one percent (1.0%) of the Revolving Loan Limit if
such termination is effective on or before May 31, 2008, and one-half of one percent
(0.5%) of the Revolving Loan Limit if such termination is effective after May 31,
2008.”
3. Amendment Fee. Borrower shall pay Lender an amendment fee in the amount of
$15,000, which shall be due and payable, and fully earned by Lender, on the date of this Amendment.
4. Effectiveness of this Amendment. The following shall have occurred before this
Amendment is effective:

together with the following Acknowledgment by Guarantor duly executed by PFSweb, in a sufficient
number of counterparts for distribution to all parties.

the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof.
(d) No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes a Default or
an Event of Default.
6. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and enforcement of this
Amendment and the rights of the parties hereunder, shall be determined under, governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California but excluding any
principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of
any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of California.
7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties and separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered, shall be
deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by
telefacsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by
telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so
shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Amendment.
8. Reference to and Effect on the Financing Agreements.

to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Loan Agreement,
and each reference in the other Financing Agreements to “the Loan Agreement”, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to the Loan Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to
the Loan Agreement as modified and amended hereby.
(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Loan Agreement and all other Financing
Agreements, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects
reaffirmed, ratified, approved and confirmed and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of Borrower to Lender.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lender under any of the

contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement, after giving
effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified or amended
accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement as modified or amended
hereby.

advances to Borrower under the Loan Agreement, and without limiting Borrower’s rights to contest
Lender’s monthly statements in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, there exists no right of offset, defense,
counterclaim or objection in favor of Borrower as against Lender with respect to the Obligations.
10. No Waiver. The execution of this Amendment and acceptance of any other documents
related hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement
or any breach, default or event of default under any other Financing Agreement, whether or not
known to Lender and whether or not existing on the date of this Amendment.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.

hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Amendment.
16. No Other Changes. Except as explicitly amended or modified by this Amendment, all
of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute
