the Agent. All capitalized terms not defined herein but defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement, and if not defined in the Credit Agreement, then the meanings given to such terms in the
UCC (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
1. Guaranty. In consideration of financing provided or to be provided by the
Lenders to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, EPLUS GROUP INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the immediate payment when due of all current and future liabilities owed by
any Borrower to Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether such liabilities are direct or indirect, now existing or hereafter arising (“Liabilities”).
2. Consents. This First Amended and Restated Collateralized Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) will not be released, discharged or affected by, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to, any: (a) change in the manner, place, interest rate, finance or other charges, or
terms of payment or performance in any current or future agreement between any Secured Party and any Borrower, the release, settlement or compromise of or with any party liable for the payment or performance thereof or the substitution, release,
non-perfection, impairment, sale or other disposition of any collateral thereunder; (b) change in any Borrower’s financial condition; (c) interruption of relations between any Borrower and any Secured Party or Guarantor; (d) claim or action by any
Borrower against any Secured Party; and/or (e) increases or decreases in any credit Secured Parties may provide to Borrowers.
3. Unconditional Obligations. Guarantor will pay Agent even if Agent has not: (a)
notified Borrowers that an Event of Default has occurred and/or that Agent intends to accelerate or has accelerated the payment of all or any part of the Liabilities, or (b) exercised any of Agent’s rights or remedies against Borrowers, any other
person or any current or future collateral. If any Borrower hereafter undergoes any change in its ownership, identity or organizational structure, this Guaranty will extend to all current and future obligations which such new or changed legal
entity owes to Secured Parties.
4. Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor irrevocably waives notice of: Agent’s acceptance of this Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, dishonor, nonpayment, nonperformance, breach or default, Agent’s intent to accelerate and Agent’s acceleration of any
indebtedness of Borrowers, the amount of indebtedness of Borrowers outstanding at any time, the number and amount of advances made by Secured Parties to Borrowers in reliance on this Guaranty, and any claim or action against Borrowers. Guarantor
further waives all right of contribution from other guarantors, all other demands and notices required by law, all rights of offset and counterclaims against Secured Parties or Borrowers, all defenses to the enforceability of this Guaranty
(including, without limitation, fraudulent inducement), and all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral, and defenses which the Borrowers may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to, failure of consideration,
breach of warranty, fraud, payment, statute of frauds, bankruptcy, lack of legal capacity, statute of limitations, lender liability, deceptive trade practices, accord and satisfaction and usury. Guarantor also waives all rights to claim, arbitrate

guarantor to any of Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against Borrowers or any other guarantor, (b) of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and restoration from Borrowers or any other guarantor, and (c) to assert any other claim or action
against Borrowers or any other guarantor directly or indirectly relating to this Guaranty, such subordinations to last until Secured Parties have been paid in full for all Liabilities. All of Guarantor’s waivers and subordinations herein will
survive any termination of this Guaranty.
5. Warranties and Representations. Guarantor has made an independent investigation
of the financial condition of Borrowers and gives this Guaranty based on that investigation and not upon any representation made by any Secured Party. Guarantor has access to current and future Borrower financial information which enables Guarantor
to remain continuously informed of each Borrower’s financial condition. Guarantor represents and warrants to Agent that Guarantor has received and will receive substantial direct or indirect benefit by making this Guaranty and incurring the
Liabilities. Guarantor also represents and warrants to Agent that Guarantor is solvent and Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty will not make Guarantor insolvent. Guarantor further represents and warrants to Agent that: (a) the value of the
assets of Guarantor (at present fair saleable value) is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of Guarantor, (b) Guarantor is able to pay all liabilities of Guarantor as such liabilities
mature, and (c) Guarantor does not have unreasonably small capital.
6. Security Interest. To secure payment of all Liabilities and all of Guarantor’s
current and future debts to Secured Parties, whether under this Guaranty or any current or future guaranty or other agreement, Guarantor grants Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and to the following, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”): all Inventory financed by Secured Parties (i) which is the subject of a purchase order issued

rights, powers, and remedies (but none of the duties or obligations, if any) of Guarantor in connection therewith; and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. Agent’s security interest shall extend to each item of Lender-Financed Inventory until such
time as Borrowers have been paid in full for such item of Lender-Financed Inventory.

13. Reserved.
14. Rights of Agent Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default:
| (a) |
Agent may at any time, without notice or demand to Borrowers or Guarantor, do any one or more of the following: declare all or any part of the debt Guarantor owes Secured Parties, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether arising
hereunder or under any other agreement between Guarantor and any Secured Party, immediately due and payable, together with all costs and expenses of Agent’s collection activity, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees; exercise any rights
under applicable law; and/or cease extending any additional credit to Guarantor, if applicable, or any Borrower, which shall not be construed to limit the discretionary nature of any credit facility.

|

past, current or future Default or Event of Default.

15. Sale of Collateral. Guarantor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, if Agent conducts a sale of any Collateral by requesting bids from ten (10) or more dealers or distributors in that type of Collateral, or pursuant to any internet auction or sale posting on a third party
auction sale site, any sale by Agent of such Collateral in bulk or in parcels within one hundred twenty (120) days of: (a) Agent’s taking possession and control of such Collateral; or (b) when Agent is otherwise authorized to sell such Collateral;
whichever occurs last, to the bidder submitting the highest cash bid therefor, is a commercially reasonable sale of such Collateral under the UCC. Guarantor agrees that the purchase of any Collateral by a vendor, as provided in any agreement
between Agent and the vendor, is a commercially reasonable disposition and private sale of such Collateral under the UCC, and no request for bids shall be required. Guarantor further agrees that seven (7) or more days prior written notice will be
commercially reasonable notice of any public or private sale (including any sale to a vendor). Guarantor irrevocably waives any requirement that Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after a trial or final judgment. If
Agent disposes of any Collateral other than as herein contemplated, the laws of the state governing this Guaranty will determine the commercial reasonableness of such disposition.
16. Power of Attorney. Guarantor grants Agent an irrevocable power of attorney to:
execute or endorse on Guarantor’s behalf any checks, financing statements, instruments, and Certificates of Title and Statements of Origin pertaining to the Collateral, to the extent consistent with the terms of this Guaranty; supply any omitted
information and correct errors in any documents between Secured Parties and Guarantor; initiate and resolve any insurance claim pertaining to the Collateral; and do anything to protect and preserve the Collateral and Agent’s rights and interest
therein.
17. Termination. Guarantor may terminate this Guaranty by a written notice to
Agent, the termination to be effective ninety (90) days after Agent receives and acknowledges it, but the termination will not terminate Guarantor’s obligations hereunder for Liabilities arising prior to the effective termination date.
18. Binding Effect. Guarantor cannot assign this Guaranty without Agent’s prior
written consent. Agent may assign its interest herein without notice to, or consent from, Guarantor. This Guaranty will protect and bind Agent’s and Guarantor’s respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns.

and documents will be sufficiently given or served if mailed or delivered: (a) to Guarantor at its address below; (b) to Xxxxx Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC as Agent at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention:
General Counsel; or such other address as the parties may specify from time to time in writing.
20. Severability; Punitive Damage Waiver. If any provision of this Guaranty or its
application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Guaranty will not be impaired or affected and will remain binding and enforceable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor and Agent
irrevocably waive all rights to claim punitive and/or exemplary damages.
21. Supplement. Except as provided in Section 19 above, if Guarantor and
any Secured Party have previously executed other guaranties or agreements pertaining to all or any part of the Collateral, this Guaranty will supplement such guaranty or agreement, and this Guaranty will neither be deemed a novation nor a
termination of such guaranty or agreement, nor will execution of this Guaranty be deemed a satisfaction of any obligation secured by such guaranty or agreement.
22. Receipt of Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges that it has received a true and
complete copy of this Guaranty and of all agreements between Secured Parties and Borrowers. Guarantor has read and understood all terms and provisions of this Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent may rely on any
facsimile copy, electronic data transmission, or electronic data storage of: this Guaranty, any agreement between Secured Parties and Borrowers, any Transaction Statement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), billing statement, financing statement,
authorization to pre-file financing statements, invoice from a vendor, financial statements or other reports, which will be deemed an original, and the best evidence thereof for all purposes.
6
23. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or to
forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew such debt are not enforceable. To protect Guarantor and any Secured Party from misunderstanding or disappointment, any agreements Guarantor and any Secured Party or
any Borrower and any Secured Party reach covering such matters are contained in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, or another agreement between Guarantor and any Secured Party or between any Borrower and any Secured Party, which agreement(s) is
(are) the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Guarantor and such Secured Parties and between such Borrowers and such Secured Parties, except as specifically provided herein, in such other agreement(s), or as Guarantor and
Secured Parties or Borrowers and Secured Parties may later agree in writing.
24. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty will survive any federal and/or state bankruptcy
or insolvency action involving any Borrower. If any Secured Party is required in any action involving any Borrower to return or rescind any payment made to or value received by Secured Party from or for the account of any Borrower, this Guaranty
will remain in full force and effect and will be automatically reinstated without any further action by Agent and notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty or Agent’s release of Guarantor. Any delay or failure by Agent, or Agent’s successors
or assigns, in exercising any of Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder will not waive any such rights or remedies. If Guarantor fails to pay any taxes, fees or other obligations which may impair Agent’s interest in the Collateral, or fails to keep
the Collateral insured, Agent may, but shall not be required to, pay such amounts. Such paid amounts will be: (a) an additional debt which Guarantor owes to Secured Parties, which shall be subject to finance charges at the highest rate allowed by
law; and (b) due and payable immediately in full. Guarantor will pay all of Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses which Agent incurs in enforcing Agent’s rights hereunder. The Section titles used herein are for convenience only, and do
not define or limit the contents of any Section.
25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

or in connection with this Guaranty by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of the Guarantor specified herein (and shall be

other manner provided by law.

Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), voidable under applicable Requirements of
Law (as defined in the Credit Agreement) relating to voidable transfers, fraudulent conveyances, or fraudulent transfers, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force

further force or effect.
