COLLATERALIZED GUARANTY
TO: GE COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION FINANCE CORPORATION ("CDF")
1. Guaranty and Indemnification. In consideration of financing provided or to be
provided by you to ePlus Technology, inc. ("Dealer"), and for other good and
valuable consideration received, the undersigned (individually and/or
collectively "Guarantor") unconditionally and absolutely guaranty to CDF, from
property held separately, jointly or in community, the immediate payment when
due of all current and future liabilities ("Liabilities") owed by Dealer to CDF
for inventory financed by CDF: (i) which is the subject of a purchase order
issued by Guarantor to Dealer and (ii) for which Dealer has not received payment
in full ("CDF-Financed Inventory").
2. Consents. This 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 CDF and Dealer, 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 Dealer's financial
condition; (c) interruption of relations between Dealer and CDF or Guarantor;
(d) claim or action by Dealer against CDF; and/or (e) increases or decreases in
any credit CDF may provide to Dealer.
3. Unconditional Obligations. Guarantor will pay CDF even if CDF has not: (a)
notified Dealer that it is in default of the Liabilities, and/or that CDF
intends to accelerate or has accelerated the payment of all or any part of the
Liabilities, or (b) exercised any of CDF's rights or remedies against Dealer,
any other person or any current or future collateral. If Dealer 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 CDF.
4. Waivers. Guarantor irrevocably waives notice of: CDF's acceptance of this
Guaranty, presentment, demand, protest, dishonor, nonpayment, nonperformance,
breach or default, CDF's intent to accelerate and CDF's acceleration of any
indebtedness of Dealer, the amount of indebtedness of Dealer outstanding at any
time, the number and amount of advances made by CDF to Dealer in reliance on
this Guaranty, and any claim or action against Dealer. 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 CDF or Dealer,
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 Dealer 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 for or sue for any punitive or exemplary damages. In addition,
Guarantor hereby irrevocably subordinates to CDF any and all of Guarantor's
present and future rights and remedies: (a) of subrogation against Dealer or any
other guarantor to any of CDF's rights or remedies against Dealer or any other
guarantor, (b) of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and restoration
from Dealer or any other guarantor; and (c) to assert any other claim or action
against Dealer or any other guarantor directly or indirectly relating to this
Guaranty, such subordinations to last until CDF has 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 Dealer and gives this Guaranty based
on that investigation and not upon any representation made by CDF. Guarantor has
access to current and future Dealer financial information which enables
Guarantor to remain continuously informed of Dealer's financial condition.
Guarantor represents and warrants to CDF 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 CDF that
Guarantor is solvent and Guarantor's execution of this Guaranty will not make
Guarantor insolvent. Guarantor further represents and warrants to CDF that: (a)
the present fair salable value of Guarantor's assets is greater than the amount
required to pay Guarantor's liabilities (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured and unliquidated liabilities); (b) Guarantor is able to pay all of its
liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated
liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; 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 CDF, whether under this Guaranty or any
current or future guaranty or other agreement, Guarantor grants CDF a security
interest in all CDF-Financed inventory, all accounts, chattel paper, rental or
lease payments and other amounts which are due or to become due to Guarantor
arising from the sale or lease of CDF-Financed inventory; all judgments, claims,
insurance policies and payments owed or made to Guarantor thereon; all 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
(collectively "Collateral"). CDF's security interest shall extend to each item
of CDF-Financed Inventory until such time as Dealer has been paid in full for
such item of CDF-Financed Inventory. All of such terms for which meanings are
provided in the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable state, as the same may
be amended, are used herein with such meanings.
7. Additional Warranties and Representations. Guarantor warrants and represents
to CDF that: (a) Guarantor has good title to all Collateral; (b) CDF's security
interest in the Collateral financed by CDF for Dealer or Guarantor is not now
and will not become subordinate to the security interest or claim of any person;
(c) Guarantor will execute all documents CDF requests to perfect and maintain
CDF's security interest in the Collateral, and will cause all third parties in
possession of Collateral to provide such acknowledgment or control of CDF's
security interest as CDF may require; (d) Guarantor will deliver to CDF
immediately upon each request, and CDF may retain, each Certificate of Title or

to any Collateral. Guarantor will keep the Collateral insured for its full
insurable value under an "all risk" property insurance policy with a company
