inc. (“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

Pursuant to the Amendments, the WFCDF credit facility aggregate limit of the two components was increased to $275.0 million

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.
