Re:Amendment No. 1 to Third Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement and related Documents
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among PC Connection, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and RBS Citizens, National Association, as the lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”) and agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”).
We have requested that the Agent and Lender agree to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement and we have been advised that the Agent and Lender are prepared and would be pleased to make the amendments to the Credit Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.
Accordingly, in consideration of the premises, promises, mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and fully intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a)The term, “Documents” shall, wherever used in the Credit Agreement or Other Documents, be deemed to also mean and include this Amendment. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
(b)The Credit Agreement is amended as follows:
(i) | Section 1.2 Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Permitted Vendor Debt” in its entirety and replacing it with the following: |
“Permitted Vendor Debt” shall mean Indebtedness of the Borrower under trade credit agreements secured by Inventory of the Borrower, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 in aggregate advances (including principal, interest, fees and other amounts) at any time outstanding without the prior written consent of the Agent and Lender, and refinancing thereof; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that aggregate advances do not exceed $50,000,000, the consent of Agent and Lender shall not be required for Borrower to enter into a trade credit facility with commitments that exceed $50,000,000.

Each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries to the Lender in the Credit Agreement and other Documents was true and correct in all material respects when made and is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Date with the same full force and effect as if each of such representations and warranties had been made by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries on the Amendment Date and in this Amendment, except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to a prior date.
(b)No Default of Events of Default. No Default or Event of Default exists on the Amendment Date.
(c)Binding Effect of Documents. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained herein constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Telecopied signatures hereto shall be of the same force and effect as an original of a manually signed copy. In making proof of this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart thereof signed by each of the parties hereto. Except to the extent specifically amended and supplemented hereby, all of the terms, conditions and the provisions of the Credit Agreement and each of the other Documents shall otherwise remain unmodified, and the Credit Agreement and each of the other Documents, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, are confirmed as being in full force and effect.
