Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 22, 2005, we entered into a written employment agreement with Ted Sanders, our Chief Financial Officer. Prior to that time, our employment arrangements with Mr. Sanders were not memorialized in a written agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of our written agreement with Mr. Sanders, Mr. Sanders is an “at will” employee and is entitled to an annual base salary of $300,000. Mr. Sanders is eligible to participate in our executive bonus plan in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, as well as to receive discretionary bonuses from time to time in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Sanders is entitled to severance pay equal to six months of his annual base salary in the event his employment is terminated without cause (as defined in his employment agreement). Mr. Sanders is also entitled to receive a monthly automobile allowance, and is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to our similarly situated employees.

On March 22, 2005, we also memorialized a change to the employment agreement of Robert Newton, our General Counsel. The change was previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on February 15, 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment to Mr. Newton’s employment agreement, Mr. Newton will be entitled to severance equal to six months of his annual base salary, which is presently $250,000, in the event his employment is terminated without cause (as defined in his employment agreement).

The foregoing descriptions of our employment agreement with Mr. Sanders and the amendment to Mr. Newton’s employment agreement are qualified by reference to the complete terms of those agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively.

RECITALS

The Company engages in the highly competitive market of offering hardware, software, peripherals, components, and accessories for users of computer products, as well as electronic equipment.

C.         The Company also has developed a substantial body of Proprietary Information regarding the methods and systems of operation, which is used by the Company for the acquisition and management of client accounts. PC Mall has also acquired, at great expense and time, Proprietary Information regarding the particularized needs of its clientele, including information regarding its client’s finances, marketing, operations, and product needs. The Company has, at all times, kept its Proprietary Information secret, and such information has given the Company a competitive advantage over others engaged in the same type of business.

Except upon prior written consent by the Company, Employee will not, during any time he is employed by the Company: (i) accept any other employment; or (ii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that might interfere with Employee’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or create a conflict of interest with the Company.

2. Warranties And Conditions Of Employment.

2.1  Employee represents and warrants that he will not use for the benefit of, disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information belonging to any former employer or any other entity unless he has the advance, written permission from the employer or entity to do so, or unless the Company has been granted such permission.

4.3  Notwithstanding Section 4.2, the Company may terminate Employee’s employment for Cause at any time, without prior notice, and without any obligation to pay any severance.

5.4  Termination Of Benefits. All benefits to which Employee is otherwise entitled shall cease upon Employee’s termination, unless explicitly continued either under this Agreement or under any specific written policy or benefit plan of the Company.

6. Proprietary Information; Non-Disclosure; and Non-Solicitation.

6.1  Proprietary Information: For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” means all information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by Employee, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company or to the Company’s affiliates (including subsidiaries), consultants, customers, and business associates, unless: (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) the information was rightfully in Employee’s possession or part of my general knowledge prior to his employment by the Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to Employee without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information and did not learn of it, directly or indirectly, from the Company. Employee further understands that the Company considers the following information to be included, without limitation, in the definition of Proprietary Information: (a) techniques, development tools and processes, computer printouts, computer programs, design manuals; (b) information about costs, profits, revenues, margins and markets; (c) plans for future development and new product concepts; (d) customer names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, credit card numbers, contact persons and customer preferences; (e) vendor names, addresses, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, contact persons, vendor preferences and pricing; (f) marketing plans, bidding information, costs of product, services and other items, proposal information, proposal methods and policies, price schedules, product profit margins, price setting methods and policies, customer service methods and policies and service plans and policies; (g) product plans, product development plans, product specifications, sources of supply, methods of operation and related materials conceived, created or reduced to practice in the performance of services for the Company; (h) the Company’s business plans, accounting records, computer records, computer systems, networking and telecommunication systems, management information systems and programs, audits and other financial data related to products and services provided by the Company; (i) labor rates, commission rates and plans, commission schedules, employee lists, employee performance evaluations and related information, employee titles, outside contracting sources and rates, benefit costs and research reports; and (j) all documents, books, papers, and other data of any kind and description, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means, that have been or will be given to Employee by the Company (or any affiliate of it), as well as written or verbal instructions or comments.

6.2  Non-Disclosure. Employee agrees that his work with the Company will involve access to and creation of Proprietary Information. Employee further agrees to hold all Proprietary Information in strict confidence and never to use or disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone at any time, including after the termination of his employment, except to the extent necessary to carry out his responsibilities as an employee of the Company, or as specifically authorized in writing by an authorized officer of the Company, other than Employee.

6.3  Location And Reproduction. Employee shall maintain at his work station and any other place under his control only such Proprietary Information as he has a current “need to know.” Employee shall return to the appropriate person or location or otherwise properly dispose of Proprietary Information once that need to know no longer exists.

6.4  Return Of Third Party Information:Employee represents and warrants that he has returned all property, information, and trade secrets belonging to all prior employers, if any.

6.5  Non-Solicitation: Employee understands and agrees that, because of his responsibilities at the Company, he will help to develop, and will be exposed to the Company’s business strategies, information on customers and clients, and other valuable Proprietary Information, and that use or disclosure of such Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement would be extremely difficult to detect or prove. Employee acknowledges that the Company’s relationships with its employees, customers, clients, vendors, and other persons are valuable business assets. Therefore, Employee agrees as follows:

(a)  Employee shall not, for a period of two years after he is no longer employed by the Company, directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit, or encourage any officer, director, or employee of the Company, or any of the Company’s affiliates, to leave the Company or terminate his or her employment with the Company;

(b)  Employee shall not, for a period of one year after he is no longer employed by the Company: (i) divert or attempt to divert any business from the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates; (ii) interfere with any business relationship or contract between the Company, including the Company’s affiliates, and any of its customers, clients, members, vendors, business partners, or suppliers; or (iii) for the purpose of selling products or services competitive with the Company’s or the Company’s affiliates, solicit any person, firm, corporation or entity of any kind, that was a customer, client or prospective client of the Company at any time during the one year period preceding the termination date of Employee’s employment.

6.6  Injunctions. Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 6 are reasonable and necessary in view of the nature of Company’s businesses, in order to protect the legitimate interests of Company, and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to Company. Therefore, Employee agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of the paragraphs above, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining Employee from any violation of the foregoing.

7. Arbitration.

7.1  The Company and Employee hereby agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all claims or controversies between them (or between Employee and any present or former officer, director, agent, or employee of the Company or any parent, subsidiary, or other entity affiliated with the Company) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration.

7.2  Claims subject to arbitration shall include, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, claims relating to compensation and stock options, as well as claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation, including but not limited to any claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. However, claims for unemployment benefits, workers’ compensation claims, and claims under the National Labor Relations Act shall not be subject to arbitration.

7.3  Any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“the AAA Rules”). The arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law, with the same statutes of limitations and same remedies that would apply if the claims were brought in a court of law.

7.4  Either the Company or Employee may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or claim in any way related to any arbitrable claim, including without limitation any claim as to the making, existence, validity, or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate. Nothing in this Agreement, however, precludes a party from filing an administrative charge before an agency that has jurisdiction over an arbitrable claim. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from seeking provisional relief pursuant to Section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

7.5  All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), unless the FAA does not apply, in which case the California Arbitration Act shall apply. In all other respects, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflicts of law principles.

7.6  Each party shall pay its own costs and attorney’s fees, unless a party prevails on a statutory claim, and the statute provides that the prevailing party is entitled to payment of its attorneys’ fees. In that case, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party as provided by law. The Company agrees to pay the costs and fees of the arbitrator to the extent required by law.

7.7  The parties also understand and agree that this agreement constitutes a waiver of their right to a trial by jury of any claims or controversies covered by this agreement. the parties agree that none of those claims or controversies shall be resolved by a jury trial.

8. Severability.

8.1  Severability Of Unenforceable Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges contained in this Agreement shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.2  Scope. To the extent that any provision hereof is deemed unenforceable by virtue of its scope, but could be enforceable by reducing the scope, Employee and the Company agree that same shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought, and that the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to modify such invalid or unenforceable provision to the extent required to be valid and enforceable.

9. Successors.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company by way of reorganization, merger, acquisition or consolidation, and any assignee of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and properties.

10. Amendments; Waivers.

This Agreement may not be orally modified or amended. It may only be modified or amended by an instrument in writing signed by Employee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company, other than Employee. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof or as a waiver of any other right, remedy, or power, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or other power provided herein or by law or in equity. 

11. Notices.

All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be delivered in person, by facsimile, or by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested.
