PFSweb, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Supplies Distributors, Inc., and eCOST.com, Inc., are collectively referred to as the “Company;” “Supplies Distributors” refers to Supplies Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries; “eCOST” refers to eCOST.com, Inc.; and “PFSweb” refers to PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries excluding Supplies Distributors and eCOST.
PFSweb Overview
     PFSweb is an international provider of integrated business process outsourcing services to major brand name companies seeking to maximize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional and e-commerce initiatives in the United States, Canada, and Europe. PFSweb offers a broad range of services such as professional consulting, technology collaboration, managed web hosting and internet application development, order management, web-enabled customer contact centers, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, information management, facilities and operations management, kitting and assembly services, and international fulfillment and distribution services.
Supplies Distributors Overview
     Supplies Distributors, PFSweb and InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”), a joint venture company owned by Ricoh and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), have entered into master distributor agreements under which Supplies Distributors acts as a master distributor of various products, primarily IPS product.
     Supplies Distributors has obtained certain financing that allows it to fund the working capital requirements for the sale of primarily IPS products. Pursuant to the transaction management services agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors, PFSweb provides to Supplies Distributors transaction management and fulfillment services such as managed web hosting and maintenance, procurement support, web-enabled customer contact center services, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services, information management, and international distribution services. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon IPS’ sales force and product demand generation activities for its sale of IPS products. Supplies Distributors sells its products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
     All of the agreements between PFSweb and Supplies Distributors were made in the context of a related party relationship and were negotiated in the overall context of PFSweb’s and Supplies Distributors’ arrangement with IPS. Although management believes that the terms of these agreements are generally consistent with fair market values, there can be no assurance that the prices charged to or by each company under these arrangements are not higher or lower than the prices that may be charged by, or to, unaffiliated third parties for similar services.
eCOST Overview
     eCOST is a multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise, selling products primarily to customers in the United States. eCOST offers products in several merchandise categories, including computers, networking, electronics and entertainment, TV’s, plasmas and monitors, cameras and camcorders, memory and storage, “For the Home” and sports and leisure. eCOST carries products from leading manufacturers such as Sony, JVC, Canon, Hewlett-Packard, Denon, Dyson, Sennheiser, Garmin, Panasonic, Toshiba and Microsoft.
     The Company’s liquidity has been negatively impacted as a result of the merger with eCOST. Since the merger, eCOST has experienced a net use of cash primarily due to operating losses. As a result, the Company has had to support eCOST’s cash needs with the goal of reducing losses. The amount of additional cash needed to support eCOST operations will depend upon working capital requirements, bank

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
financing availability as well as eCOST’s continued ability to improve its financial results. Further advances to eCOST may be limited by the Company’s current cash and future cash flow and may be restricted by the Company’s credit facility obligations.
     In the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, it may fail to comply with one or more of the financial covenants required under its working capital line of credit. In such event, absent a waiver, the working capital lender would be entitled to accelerate all amounts outstanding thereunder and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and demand for payment under the Company parent guaranty. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations.
     Management currently believes eCOST will meet the Company’s expectations related to improved overall profitability. The Company has reported improvement in eCOST’s financial results beginning in 2007, excluding the impact of any non-cash impairment charges, and currently expects improvement as a result of efforts to increase sales, improve product mix and control operating costs, although there can be no assurance that these future improvements will be achieved. If eCOST does not meet expectations, the Company currently anticipates that it would be able to terminate or sublease eCOST’s facilities, liquidate remaining inventory through the eCOST website and reduce certain personnel related costs as needed so as to minimize any material impact upon the Company’s other segments.
Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion of management and subject to the foregoing, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2009, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Results of the Company’s operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
     All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues and operating expenses in these consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.
     Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management

is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. These uncertainties are discussed in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Investment in Affiliates
     Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PFSweb, has made advances to Supplies Distributors that are evidenced by a Subordinated Demand Note (the “Subordinated Note”). Under the terms of certain of the Company’s debt facilities, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note cannot be increased to more than $6.5 million or decreased to less than $5.0 million without prior approval of the Company’s lenders. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Note was $5.5 million. The Subordinated Note is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     PFS has also made advances to eCOST, which aggregated $10.6 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Certain of the Company’s debt facilities provide that the total advances to eCOST may not be less than $2.0 million without prior approval of eCOST’s lender. PFS has received the approval of its lender to advance incremental amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including eCOST, if needed. PFSweb has also advanced to eCOST $5.0 million and $4.7 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Concentration of Business and Credit Risk
     The Company’s service fee revenue is generated under contractual service fee relationships with multiple client relationships. No service fee clients or product revenue customers exceeded 10% of consolidated total net revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2009. A summary of the nonaffiliated customer and client concentrations is as follows:
                 
    Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
    2009   2008
Product Revenue (as a percentage of Product Revenue):
               
Customer 1
    12 %     11 %
Customer 2
    9 %     10 %
 
               
Service Fee Revenue (as a percentage of Service Fee Revenue):
               
Client 1
    13 %     39 %
Client 2
    15 %     10 %
 
               
Accounts Receivable:
               
Client/Customer 1
    12 %     10 %
     Client 1 did not renew its contract with PFS effective January 2009, though certain project work continued to occur during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
     PFSweb has provided certain collateralized guarantees of its subsidiaries’ financings and credit arrangements. These subsidiaries’ ability to obtain financing on similar terms would be significantly impacted without these guarantees.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     The Company has multiple arrangements with IBM and IPS and is dependent upon the continuation of such arrangements. These arrangements, which are critical to the Company’s ongoing operations, include Supplies Distributors’ master distributor agreements, certain of Supplies Distributors’ working capital financing agreements, product sales to IBM and IPS business units and an IBM term master lease agreement. Substantially all of the Supplies Distributors’ revenue is generated by its sale of product purchased from IPS. Supplies Distributors also relies upon IPS’ sales force and product demand generation activities and the discontinuance of such services would have a material impact upon Supplies Distributors’ business.
     eCOST’s arrangements with its vendors are terminable by either party at will. Loss of any vendors could have a material adverse effect on eCOST’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Sales of HP and HP-related products represented 42% of eCOST’s net revenues (10% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues) in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 52% of eCOST’s net revenues (12% of the Company’s consolidated total net revenues) in the comparable 2008 period.
Inventories
     The Company establishes inventory reserves based upon estimates of declines in values due to inventories that are slow moving or obsolete, excess levels of inventory or values assessed at lower than cost. Recoverability of the inventory on hand is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the inventory to the fair value of the inventory.
     Supplies Distributors assumes responsibility for slow-moving inventory under certain master distributor agreements, subject to certain termination rights, but has the right to return product rendered obsolete by engineering changes, as defined. In the event PFSweb, Supplies Distributors and IPS terminate the master distributor agreements, the agreements provide for the parties to mutually agree on a plan of disposition of Supplies Distributors’ then existing inventory.
Property and Equipment
     The Company’s property held under capital leases amounted to approximately $2.8 million and $3.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $9.4 million and $8.4 million, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
     During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 352,767 options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company.
Long-Lived Assets
     The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment periodically, but at a minimum annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets include property, intangible assets, goodwill and certain other assets. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value would be determined using appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis or similar valuation techniques. The Company makes judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives. The Company records impairment losses in the period in which it determines that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This may require the Company to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of their future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.

Cash Paid for Interest and Taxes
     The Company made payments for interest of approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income taxes of approximately $0.5 million and $0.1 million were paid by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Subsequent Events
     The Company has evaluated its subsequent events through August 14, 2009. There were no events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 that required disclosure in the financial statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, at least annually, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and the Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted fair value measurement treatment for nonfinancial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. Statement No. 141R modified the accounting and disclosure requirements for business combinations and broadens the scope of the previous standard to apply to all transactions in which one entity obtains control over another business. Statement No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. The Company applied the provisions of the new standards in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of the statement did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP No. 142-3”). This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s entity-specific factors. FSP No 142-3 was effective beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(“SFAS 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 will become effective in the third quarter of 2009 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Given the structure of this facility and as outstanding balances, which represent inventory purchases, are repaid within twelve months, the Company has classified the outstanding amounts under this facility as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Inventory and Working Capital Financing Agreement, Europe
     Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary has a short-term credit facility with IBM Belgium Financial Services S.A. (“IBM Belgium”) to finance its distribution of IPS products in Europe.

Credit Facility — eCOST
     eCOST has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million from Wachovia, through May 2011, which is collateralized by substantially all of eCOST’s assets. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Outstanding amounts under the facility bear interest at rates ranging prime rate plus 0.75% to 1.25% or Eurodollar rate plus 3.0% to 4.0%, depending on eCOST’s financial results. There were no outstanding amounts as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, eCOST had $1.0 million of letters of credit outstanding and $1.3 million of available credit under this facility. In connection with the line of credit, eCOST entered into a cash management arrangement whereby eCOST’s operating amounts are considered restricted and swept and used to repay outstanding amounts under the line of credit. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the restricted cash amount was $0.2 million in each period. The credit facility restricts eCOST’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, and requires a minimum tangible net worth of $0 million, as defined.

Factoring Agreement
     Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary has a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (“Fortis”) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.6 million) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2010. As of June 30, 2009, Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary had approximately 0.9 million euros ($1.3 million) of available credit under this agreement. Borrowings accrue interest at Euribor plus 0.8% (1.6% at June 30, 2009). This agreement contains various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary to, among other things, merge, consolidate and incur indebtedness, as well as financial covenants, such as minimum net worth. This agreement is secured by a guarantee of Supplies Distributors, up to a maximum of 200,000 euros.
Taxable Revenue Bonds
     PFS has a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the “MBFC”) in connection with the issuance by the MBFC of $5 million MBFC Taxable Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. Project) (the “Bonds”). The MBFC loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to PFS for the purpose of financing the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets located in one of the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi distribution facilities. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate (1.3% as of June 30, 2009), as determined by Comerica Securities, as Remarketing Agent. PFS, at its option, may convert the Bonds to a fixed rate, to be determined by the Remarketing Agent at the time of conversion.
     The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the initial face amount of $5.1 million issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between PFS and Comerica under which PFS is obligated to pay to Comerica all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has a maturity date of April 2010 at which time, if not renewed or replaced, will result in a draw on the undrawn face amount thereof. If the Letter of Credit is renewed or replaced, the Bonds require future annual principal repayments of $800,000 in January of each year through 2012. PFS’ obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of PFS, including restricted cash of $1.5 million and a Company parent guarantee.
Debt Covenants
     To the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with covenants applicable to its debt or vendor financing obligations, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and required level of shareholders’ equity or net worth, and one or all of the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, the Company would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. In particular, in the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, or if PFS service fee revenue declines from expected levels and it is unable to reduce costs to correspond to such reduced revenue levels or if Supplies Distributors revenue or gross profit declines from expected levels, such events may result in a breach of one or more of the financial covenants required under its working capital line of credit. In such event, absent a waiver, the working capital lender would be entitled to accelerate all amounts outstanding thereunder and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and demand for payment under the Company parent guaranty. Any acceleration of the repayment of the credit facilities would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and no assurance can be given that the Company would have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations.
Master Lease Agreements
     The Company has a Term Lease Master Agreement with IBM Credit Corporation (“Master Lease Agreement”) that provides for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets, which generally have terms of three years. The amounts outstanding under this Master Lease Agreement ($1.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2008) are secured by the related equipment.

     The Company has two other master agreements with financing companies that provide for leasing or financing transactions of certain equipment. The amounts outstanding under these agreements were $1.2 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and are secured by the related equipment.
     The Company has other leasing and financing agreements and will continue to enter into those arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements are generally secured by the related equipment.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     The Company receives municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 the Company received notice from a municipality that it did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. In December 2006, the Company received notice that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to the Company’s tax abatement. The Company has disputed the adjustment, but if the dispute is not resolved favorably, additional taxes of approximately $1.7 million could be assessed against the Company.
          The Company is subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties. If the party asserting such claims commences litigation, the Company could be required to defend itself or its customers. The Company is not aware of any such litigation.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Information
     We have made forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and there can be no guarantee that these statements will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements include assumptions as to how we may perform in the future. When we use words like “seek,” “strive,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “target” and “estimate” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those set forth above or elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. These factors include:
    our ability to retain and expand relationships with existing clients and attract and implement new clients;
 
    our reliance on the fees generated by the transaction volume or product sales of our clients;
 
    our reliance on our clients’ projections or transaction volume or product sales;
 
    our dependence upon our agreements with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and InfoPrint Solutions Company (“IPS”), a joint venture company owned by Ricoh and IBM;
 
    our dependence upon our agreements with our major clients;
 
    our client mix, their business volumes and the seasonality of their business;
 
    our ability to finalize pending contracts;
 
    the impact of strategic alliances and acquisitions;
 
    trends in e-commerce, outsourcing, government regulation both foreign and domestic and the market for our services;
 
    whether we can continue and manage growth;
 
    increased competition;
 
    our ability to generate more revenue and achieve sustainable profitability;
 
    effects of changes in profit margins;
 
    the customer and supplier concentration of our business;
 
    the unknown effects of possible system failures and rapid changes in technology;
 
    foreign currency risks and other risks of operating in foreign countries;
 
    potential litigation;
 
    impact of reverse stock split;
 
    potential delisting;
 
    our dependency on key personnel;
 
    the impact of new accounting standards, and changes in existing accounting rules or the interpretations of those rules;

Overview
     We are an international provider of integrated eCommerce and business process outsourcing solutions to major brand name companies seeking to optimize their supply chain efficiencies and to extend their traditional business and e-commerce initiatives. Through our eCOST.com business unit, we are a leading multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise. We derive our revenues from three business segments: as an eCommerce and business process outsourcer, a master distributor and an online discount retailer.
     First, in our eCommerce and business process outsourcing segment we derive our revenues from a broad range of services, including professional consulting, technology collaboration, order management, managed web hosting and web development, the development of an eCommerce technology platform, customer relationship management, financial services including billing and collection services and working capital solutions, kitting and assembly services, information management and international fulfillment and distribution services. We offer our services as an integrated solution, which enables our clients to outsource their complete infrastructure needs to a single source and to focus on their core competencies. Our distribution services are conducted at warehouses that we lease or manage and include real-time inventory management and customized picking, packing and shipping of our clients’ customer orders. We currently offer the ability to provide infrastructure and distribution solutions to clients that operate in a range of vertical markets, including technology manufacturing, computer products, cosmetics, fragile goods, contemporary home furnishings, apparel, aviation, telecommunications and consumer electronics, among others.
     In this eCommerce and business process outsourcing segment, we do not own the underlying inventory or the resulting accounts receivable, but provide management services for these client-owned assets. We typically charge our service fee revenue on a cost-plus basis, a percent of shipped revenue basis or a per-transaction basis, such as a per-minute basis for web-enabled customer contact center services and a per-item basis for fulfillment services. Additional fees are billed for other services. We price our services based on a variety of factors, including the depth and complexity of the services provided, the amount of capital expenditures or systems customization required, the length of contract and other factors.
     Many of our service fee contracts involve third-party vendors who provide additional services such as package delivery. The costs we are charged by these third-party vendors for these services are often passed on to our clients. Our billings for reimbursements of these and other ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses include travel, shipping and handling costs and telecommunication charges are included in pass-through revenue.
     Our second business segment is a product revenue model. In this segment, we are a master distributor of product for IPS and certain other clients. In this capacity, we purchase, and thus own, inventory and recognize the corresponding product revenue. As a result, upon the sale of inventory, we own the accounts receivable. Freight costs billed to customers are reflected as components of product revenue. This business segment requires significant working capital requirements, for which we have senior credit facilities to provide for approximately $90 million of available financing.
     Our third business segment is a web-commerce product revenue model focused on the sale of products to a broad range of consumer and small business customers. In this segment we operate as a multi-category online discount retailer of new, “close-out” and recertified brand-name merchandise. Our product line currently offers approximately 300,000 products in several primary merchandise categories, primarily including computers, networking, electronics and entertainment, TV’s, plasmas and monitors, cameras and camcorders, memory and storage, “For the Home” and sports and leisure.
     Growth is a key element to achieving our future goals, including achieving and maintaining sustainable profitability. Growth in our eCommerce and business process outsourcing segment is driven by two main

18


Table of Contents

elements: new client relationships and organic growth from existing clients. We focus our sales efforts on larger contracts with brand-name companies within two primary target markets, online brands and retailers and technology manufacturers, which, by nature, require a longer duration to close but also have the potential to be higher-quality and longer duration engagements.
     Growth within our product revenue business is primarily driven by our ability to attract new master distributor arrangements with IPS or other manufacturers and the sales and marketing efforts of the manufacturers and third party sales partners.
     Growth within our web-commerce product revenue model is primarily driven by eCOST’s ability to increase sales by generating organic growth, new customers and expand its product line.
     We continue to monitor and control our costs to focus on profitability. While we are targeting our new service fee contracts to yield increased gross profit, we also expect to incur incremental investments to implement new contracts, investments in infrastructure and sales and marketing to support our targeted growth and increased public company professional fees.
     Our expenses comprise primarily four categories: 1) cost of product revenue, 2) cost of service fee revenue, 3) cost of pass-through revenue and 4) operating expenses.
     Cost of product revenues — consists of the purchase price of product sold and freight costs, which are reduced by certain reimbursable expenses. These reimbursable expenses include pass-through customer marketing programs, direct costs incurred in passing on any price decreases offered by vendors to cover price protection and certain special bids, the cost of products provided to replace defective product returned by customers and certain other expenses as defined under the master distributor agreements. Vendor marketing programs, such as co-op advertising, also reduce cost of product revenue.
     Cost of service fee revenue — consists primarily of compensation and related expenses for our web-enabled customer contact center services, international fulfillment and distribution services and professional consulting services, and other fixed and variable expenses directly related to providing services under the terms of fee based contracts, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.
     Cost of pass-through revenue — the related reimbursable costs for pass-through expenditures are reflected as cost of pass-through revenue.
     Operating expenses — consist primarily of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses such as compensation and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, advertising, online marketing and catalog production, distribution costs (excluding freight) applicable to the Supplies Distributors and eCOST businesses, executive, management and administrative personnel and other overhead costs, including certain occupancy and information technology costs and depreciation and amortization expenses.
     Monitoring and controlling our expenditures and available cash balances continues to be a primary focus. Our cash and liquidity positions are important components of our financing of both current operations and our targeted growth.

     Product Revenue, net. eCOST product revenue was $20.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009, an 11.9% decrease as compared to $23.0 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. eCOST product revenue was $41.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 19.2% decrease as compared to $51.0 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The decreases are primarily due to a decline in sales in its business to business channel resulting from the impact of the current economic environment and eCOST’s reduced emphasis on this lower margin channel. Partially offsetting these decreases is an increase in sales in the higher margin business to consumer sales channel, primarily due to continued emphasis on growth through an expanded product line, improved service capabilities and enhanced website capabilities.
     Supplies Distributors product revenue of $45.3 million decreased $14.8 million, or 24.6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Product revenue of $90.6 million decreased $31.7 million, or 25.9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decreases are primarily due to decreased sales volume resulting from the impact of the overall global economic pressures and inventory rationalization by customers. In addition, product revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was negatively impacted by a $1.4 million reduction of revenue arising from a customer bankruptcy.

     Service Fee Revenue. Service fee revenue of $12.4 million decreased $8.9 million, or 41.8%, in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Service fee revenue of $29.5 million decreased $12.6 million, or 29.9%, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in service fee revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to the non-renewal of a certain U.S. government agency client relationship partially offset by increased service fees generated from the impact of new service contract relationships. The change in service fee revenue is shown below ($ millions):
                 
    Three     Six  
    Months     Months  
Period ended June 30, 2008
  $ 21.3     $ 42.1

     The impact of the non-renewal of the U.S. government agency client is included in the existing client line item above as there was activity with this client in each period presented.
     Cost of Product Revenue. The gross margin for eCOST was $1.9 million or 9.7% of product revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.9 million or 8.3% of product revenue during the comparable period of 2008. The gross margin for eCOST was $4.0 million or 9.7% of product revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $4.1 million or 8.1% of product revenue during the comparable period of 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage in both periods is primarily due to a shift in product sales to the higher margin business-to-consumer channel. As we continue to target an increasing percentage of eCOST revenues to be generated from the business-to-consumer channel, we expect overall gross margin for eCOST in 2009 will continue to be higher than the prior year.
     Supplies Distributors cost of product revenue decreased by $13.2 million, or 24.0%, to $42.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of decreased product sales. The resulting gross profit margin was $3.3 million, or 7.3% of product revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $4.8 million, or 8.0% of product revenue, for the comparable 2008 period. Supplies Distributors cost of product revenue decreased by $29.6 million, or 26.0%, to $83.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of decreased product sales. The resulting gross profit margin was $6.7 million, or 7.4% of product revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $8.8 million, or 7.2% of product revenue, for the comparable 2008 period. The 2008 three and six month periods include the impact of certain incremental inventory cost reductions. The 2009 margin percentages include an increase due to incremental gross margin earned on product sales resulting from certain product price increases, which is partially offset by a reduction in revenue arising from a customer bankruptcy during the first quarter of 2009.
     Cost of Service Fee Revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of service fees was 23.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 28.9% in the same period of the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of service fees was 29.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 31.2% in the same period of the prior year. The margins in the prior year periods included the benefit of six months of higher margin incremental project work associated with the U.S. government contract relationship that was not renewed and was completed in the second quarter of 2009.
     We target to earn an overall average gross profit of 25-30% on existing and new service fee contracts, but we have and may continue to accept lower gross margin percentages on certain contracts depending on contract scope and other factors.
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $1.4 million to $10.7 million from $12.1 million in the same 2008 period. As a percentage of total net revenue, operating expenses were 12.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 10.9% in the comparable period. The increase in percentage of total net sales is primarily due to the reduction in total net revenues and the impact of certain personnel related expenses.

21


Table of Contents

     Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $2.9 million to $21.4 million from $24.3 million in the same 2008 period. As a percentage of total net revenue, operating expenses were 12.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 10.7% in the comparable period. The increase in percentage of total net sales is primarily due to the reduction in total net revenues and the impact of certain personnel related expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we implemented certain cost reductions, primarily including personnel related adjustments, to help reduce the impact of the lower service fee revenue.
     Income Taxes. We recorded a tax provision associated primarily with state income taxes and our subsidiary Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a tax benefit relating to our adoption of a new transfer pricing policy between certain international subsidiaries. This policy adoption resulted from the completion of a transfer pricing study and its approval by appropriate tax regulators. A valuation allowance has been provided for the majority of our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, which are primarily related to our net operating loss carryforwards, and certain foreign deferred tax assets. We expect that we will continue to record an income tax provision associated with state income taxes and Supplies Distributors’ Canadian and European results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and primarily resulted from a $12.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, a decrease in inventories of $6.3 million, cash income before working capital changes of $1.4 million and a $1.3 million decrease in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other assets, partially offset by a $16.6 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and primarily resulted from a $10.0 million of increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $8.8 million decrease in accounts receivable and cash income before working capital changes of $4.6 million. These benefits were offset by a $5.9 million increase in prepaid expenses, other receivables and other assets and a $5.8 million increase in inventories.
     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, resulting primarily from capital expenditures.
     Capital expenditures have historically consisted primarily of additions to upgrade our management information systems, and general expansion and upgrades to our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures to support new contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. Based on our current client business activity and our targeted growth plans, we anticipate our total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities and information technology services for the upcoming twelve months will be approximately $3 to $5 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed through client reimbursements, debt, operating or capital leases or additional equity. We may elect to modify or defer a portion of such anticipated investments in the event we do not obtain the financing or achieve the financial results necessary to support such investments.
     Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily representing payments on debt and capital lease obligations.
     Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily representing payments on debt and capital lease obligations and a $1.7 million increase in restricted cash.
     Our liquidity has been negatively impacted as a result of the merger with eCOST. Since the merger, eCOST has experienced a net use of cash primarily due to operating losses. As a result, PFSweb has had to support eCOST’s cash needs with the goal of reducing operating losses. The amount of further cash needed to support eCOST operations will depend upon the financing available as well as eCOST’s ability to improve its financial results. eCOST’s results, excluding the impact of any non-cash impairment charges, have improved beginning in 2007, and we currently expect improvement as a result of efforts to increase sales, improve product mix and further improve operational efficiencies.

     Our liquidity may also be negatively impacted by an expected decline in service fee revenue due to the current general economic decline as well as the nonrenewal of a U.S. government agency contract and certain other client contracts. To help minimize the impact of lower service fee revenue, we have implemented certain measures that reduced variable costs and expenses and redeployed existing infrastructure to other client activities. No assurance can be given that a further decline in service fee revenue, beyond those noted, will not have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our working capital decreased to $17.1 million from $21.4 million at December 31, 2008, partially due to the reclassification of our taxable revenue bonds to short-term debt due to the April 2010 maturing of the related letters of credit securing the taxable revenue bonds and the paydown of other long-term debt facilities. To obtain additional financing in the future, in addition to our current cash position, we plan to evaluate various financing alternatives including the sale of equity, utilizing capital or operating leases, borrowing under our credit facilities, expanding our current credit facilities, entering into new debt agreements or transferring to third parties a portion of our subordinated loan balance due from Supplies Distributors. In conjunction with certain of these alternatives, we may be required to provide certain letters of credit to secure these arrangements. We currently believe that our cash position, financing available under our credit facilities and funds generated from operations (including cost reductions related to the nonrenewal of our U.S. government contract) will satisfy our presently known operating cash needs, our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, our current debt and lease obligations, and additional loans to our subsidiaries Supplies Distributors and eCOST, if necessary, for at least the next twelve months.
     Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States and foreign governments. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to renew our credit facilities.
     The following is a schedule of our total contractual cash obligations which is comprised of operating leases, debt, vendor financing and capital leases (including interest) as of June 30, 2009, (in millions):
                                         
    Payments Due By Period

     In support of certain debt instruments and leases, as of June 30, 2009, we had $2.1 million of cash restricted for repayment to lenders. In addition, as described above, we have provided collateralized guarantees to secure the repayment of certain of our subsidiaries’ credit facilities. Many of these facilities include both financial and non-financial covenants, and also include cross default provisions applicable to other credit facilities and agreements. These covenants include minimum levels of net worth for the individual borrower subsidiaries and restrictions on the ability of the borrower subsidiaries to advance funds to other borrower subsidiaries. As a result, it is possible for one or more of these borrower subsidiaries to fail to meet their respective covenants even if another borrower subsidiary otherwise has available excess funds, which, if not restricted, could be used to cure the default. To the extent we fail to comply with our debt covenants, including the monthly financial covenant requirements and our required level of shareholders’ equity, and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, we would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. In particular, in the event eCOST is unable to increase its revenue and/or gross profit from its present levels, or if PFS service fee revenue declines from expected levels and it is unable to reduce costs to correspond to such reduced revenue levels or if Supplies Distributors revenue or gross profit declines from expected levels, such events may result in a breach of one or more of the financial covenants required under its working capital line of credit. In such event, absent a waiver, the working capital lender would be entitled to accelerate all amounts outstanding

thereunder and exercise all other rights and remedies, including sale of collateral and payment under our parent guaranty. A requirement to accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. We do not have any other material financial commitments, although future client contracts may require capital expenditures and lease commitments to support the services provided to such clients.
     In the future, we may attempt to acquire other businesses or seek an equity or strategic partner to generate capital or expand our services or capabilities in connection with our efforts to grow our business. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties and may require additional financing. Therefore, we can give no assurance with respect to whether we will be successful in identifying businesses to acquire or an equity or strategic partner, whether we or they will be able to obtain financing to complete a transaction, or whether we or they will be successful in operating the acquired business.
     To finance their distribution of IPS products, Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries have short-term credit facilities with IBM Credit LLC (“IBM Credit”) and IBM Belgium Financial Services S.A. (“IBM Belgium”). We have provided a collateralized guaranty to secure the repayment of these credit facilities. These asset-based credit facilities provided financing for up to $30.5 million and up to 16.0 million euros (approximately $22.6 million) with IBM Credit and IBM Belgium, respectively. These agreements expire in March 2010.
     Supplies Distributors also has a loan and security agreement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”) to provide financing for up to $25 million of eligible accounts receivables in the United States and Canada. The Wachovia facility expires on the earlier of March 2011 or the date on which the parties to the IPS master distributor agreement no longer operate under the terms of such agreement and/or IPS no longer supplies products pursuant to such agreement.
     Supplies Distributors’ European subsidiary has a factoring agreement with Fortis Commercial Finance N.V. (“Fortis”) to provide factoring for up to 7.5 million euros (approximately $10.6 million) of eligible accounts receivables through March 2010.
     These credit facilities contain cross default provisions, various restrictions upon the ability of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), provide guarantees, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure and pay dividends, as well as financial covenants, such as cash flow from operations, annualized revenue to working capital, net profit after tax to revenue, minimum net worth and total liabilities to tangible net worth, as defined, and are secured by all of the assets of Supplies Distributors, as well as a collateralized guaranty of PFSweb. Additionally, we are required to maintain a subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors of no less than $5.0 million, not maintain restricted cash of more than $5.0 million, are restricted with regard to transactions with related parties, indebtedness and changes to capital stock ownership structure and a minimum shareholders’ equity of at least $18.0 million. Furthermore, we are obligated to repay any over-advance made to Supplies Distributors or its subsidiaries under these facilities if they are unable to do so. We have also provided a guarantee of the obligations of Supplies Distributors and its subsidiaries to IBM and IPS, excluding the trade payables that are financed by IBM credit.
     Our subsidiary, Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. (“PFS”), has a Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), which provides for up to $10.0 million of eligible accounts receivable financing through March 2010. We entered this Agreement to supplement our existing cash position, and provide funding for our current and future operations, including our targeted growth. The Agreement contains cross default provisions, various restrictions upon our ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties (including entities directly or indirectly owned by PFSweb, Inc.), make capital expenditures, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as financial covenants of a minimum tangible net worth of $20 million, as defined, a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation

accruals, if any, as defined, and a minimum liquidity ratio, as defined. The agreement also limits PFS’ ability to increase the subordinated loan to Supplies Distributors to more than $6.5 million and permits PFS to advance incremental amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including eCOST. The Agreement is secured by all of the assets of PFS, as well as a guarantee of PFSweb.
     eCOST currently has an asset-based line of credit facility of up to $7.5 million with Wachovia, which is collateralized by substantially all of eCOST’s assets and expires in May 2011. Borrowings under the facility are limited to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and letter of credit availability is limited to a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 2009, eCOST had $1.0 million of letters of credit outstanding and $1.3 million of available credit under this facility. The credit facility restricts eCOST’s ability to, among other things, merge, consolidate, sell assets, incur indebtedness, make loans, investments and payments to subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties, make investments and loans, pledge assets, make changes to capital stock ownership structure, as well as a minimum tangible net worth of $0 million, as defined. PFSweb has guaranteed all current and future obligations of eCOST under this line of credit.
     In 2004, PFS incurred more than $5 million in capital expenditures to support incremental business from a distribution facility in Southaven, MS. PFS financed a significant portion of these expenditures through a Loan Agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance Corporation (the “MBFC”) pursuant to which the MBFC issued $5 million MBFC Taxable Variable Rate Demand Limited Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. Project) (the “Bonds”). The MBFC loaned PFS the proceeds of the Bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition and installation of equipment, machinery and related assets located in the Southaven, Mississippi distribution facility. The primary source of repayment of the Bonds is a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the initial face amount of $5.1 million issued by Comerica pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement between us and Comerica under which PFS is obligated to pay to Comerica all amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit has a maturity date of April 2010 at which time, if not renewed or replaced, will result in a draw on the undrawn face amount thereof. The amount outstanding on this Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2009 was $2.4 million. PFS’ obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets, including restricted cash of $1.5 million and a Company parent guarantee.
     To the extent we fail to comply with the various debt covenants described above, and the lenders accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations, we would be required to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. Any requirement to accelerate the repayment of the credit facility obligations would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We can provide no assurance that we will have the financial ability to repay all of such obligations. As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
     eCOST has historically incurred significant operating losses and used cash to fund its operations. As a result, we have been required to invest cash to fund eCOST’s operations, which we may not be able to continue to do without approval from our lenders. The amount of further cash needed to support eCOST operations depends upon the financing available under its credit line as well as eCOST’s ability to improve its financial results. Through June 30, 2009, we have advanced $15.6 million to eCOST to fund eCOST’s cash flow requirements and have lender approval to advance incremental amounts subject to certain cash inflows to PFS, as defined, to certain of our subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including eCOST. In the event we need to invest further cash to eCOST, we may be required to seek approval from our lenders to provide such funds. We can provide no assurance that we will receive such approval from our lenders or any terms or conditions required by our lenders in order to obtain such approval. In addition, PFSweb has provided a guaranty of eCOST’s bank line of credit and certain eCOST vendor trade payables.
     We receive municipal tax abatements in certain locations. During 2004 we received notice from a municipality that we did not satisfy certain criteria necessary to maintain the abatements. In December 2006, we received notice that the municipal authority planned to make an adjustment to our tax abatement. We have disputed the adjustment, but if the dispute is not resolved favorably, additional taxes of $1.7 million could be assessed against us.

Seasonality
     The seasonality of our service fee business is dependent upon the seasonality of our clients’ business and sales of their products. Accordingly, our management must rely upon the projections of our clients in assessing quarterly variability. We believe with our current client mix and their current business volumes, our run rate service fee business activity will be at it lowest in the quarter ended March 31. We anticipate our Supplies Distributors’ product revenue will be highest during the quarter ended December 31. Our eCOST business is moderately seasonal, reflecting the general pattern of peak sales for the retail industry during the holiday shopping season. Typically, a larger portion of our eCOST revenues occur during the fourth fiscal quarter. We believe our historical revenue growth makes it difficult to predict the effect of seasonality on our future revenues and results of operations.
     We believe that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year.
Inflation
     Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
     A description of our critical accounting policies, including goodwill and long-lived assets, is included in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
     We are exposed to various market risks including interest rates on financial instruments and foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
     Our interest rate risk exists from our outstanding balances on our inventory and working capital financing agreements, taxable revenue bonds, factoring agreement, and loan and security agreements for the financing of inventory, accounts receivable and certain other receivables and certain equipment, which amounted to $51.8 million at June 30, 2009. A 100 basis point movement in interest rates would result in approximately $0.3 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense based on the outstanding balance of these agreements at June 30, 2009.
Foreign Exchange Risk
     Currently, our foreign currency exchange rate risk is primarily limited to the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. In the future, our foreign currency exchange risk may also include other currencies applicable to certain of our international operations. We have and may continue, from time to time, to employ derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To hedge our net investment and intercompany payable or receivable balances in foreign operations, we may enter into forward currency exchange contracts.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or Rule 15-d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
     There have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissions on March 31, 2009 other than those as set forth below.
Risks Related to All Our Business Segments
Our business and future growth depend on our continued access to bank and commercial financing. The current economic crisis may negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
     Recently, the credit markets and the financial services industry have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States and foreign governments. The current economic crisis could also adversely impact our customers’ operations or ability to maintain liquidity which may negatively impact our business and results of operations.
     Our business and future growth currently depend on our ability to access bank and commercial lines of credit. We currently depend on an aggregate of approximately $110 million in credit facilities provided by various banks and commercial lenders. These facilities currently mature at various dates through May 2011 and are secured by substantially all our assets. Our ability to renew our credit facilities depends upon various factors, including the availability of bank loans and commercial credit in general, as well as our financial condition and prospects. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that these credit facilities will continue to be available beyond their current maturity on reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to renew or replace our credit facilities or find alternative financing would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
Risks Related to Our PFS and Supplies Distributors Operating Segments
Our business is subject to the risk of customer and supplier concentration.
     For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, a U.S. government agency and Xerox Corporation represented the source of approximately 13% and 15%, respectively, and approximately 39% and 10%, respectively, of our total service fee revenue, excluding pass-through revenue. The loss of, or non-payment of invoices by, any or all such clients would have a material adverse effect upon our business. In particular, the agreements under which we provide services to such clients are terminable at will upon notice by such clients. Our activity under our contract with the U.S. government agency concluded in the second quarter of 2009 and the nonrenewal of that contract, as well as the loss of, or non-payment of invoices by, any or all of such other clients are likely to have a material adverse effect upon our business.
     A substantial portion of our Supplies Distributors product revenue is generated by sales of product purchased under master distributor agreements with IPS. These agreements are terminable at will and no assurance can be given that IPS will continue the master distributor agreements with Supplies Distributors. Supplies Distributors does not have its own sales force and relies upon IPS’ sales force and product demand generation activities. Discontinuance of such activities would have a material adverse effect on Supplies Distributors’ business and the Company’s financial condition.
     Sales by Supplies Distributors to two customers accounted for approximately 31% and 29% of Supplies Distributors’ total product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively (17% and 15% of our consolidated net revenues in each six month period, respectively). The loss of any one or both of such customers, or non-payment of any material amount by these or any other customer, are likely to have a material adverse effect upon Supplies Distributors’ business.

Risks Related to eCOST, our Online Discount Retailer Segment
Our business is subject to the risk of supplier concentration.
     Our business is dependent on sales of Hewlett Packard (HP) and HP-related products, which represented approximately 42% of eCOST’s net revenues (10% of our consolidated net revenues) in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 52% of eCOST’s net revenues (12% of our consolidated net revenues) in the comparable period of 2008. If our ability to purchase direct from HP is terminated or restricted, or if the demand for HP and HP-related products declines, our business will be materially adversely affected.

Exhibit 10.1
APPENDIX A
PFSWEB, INC. 2005 EMPLOYEE STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN
     WHEREAS, PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has adopted that certain 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”); and
     WHEREAS, the Company has authorized and adopted the 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan, as an amendment and restatement of the 1999 Plan (as so amended and restated, the Plan”); and
     WHEREAS, subject to the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has authorized and adopted certain amendments to the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in order to implement and effectuate said amendments, the Plan, as so amended, shall read as follows:
ARTICLE 1
PURPOSE
     1.1. GENERAL. The PFSweb, Inc. 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan is designed to focus management on business performance that creates stockholder value; encourage innovative approaches to the business of the Company; reward for results; and encourage ownership of Company common stock by management.
ARTICLE 2
DEFINITIONS
     2.1. DEFINITIONS. As used herein the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
     (a) “Affiliate” means (i) any Subsidiary or Parent, or (ii) any entity of which the Company owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 10% of more of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, or of comparable equity participation and voting power.

A “Full-Value Award” means an Award other than in the form of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, and which is settled by the issuance of Shares.
     (c) “Award Certificate” means a written document, in such form as the Committee prescribes from time to time, setting forth the terms and conditions of an Award. Award Certificates may be in the form of individual award agreements or certificates or a program document describing the terms and provisions of an Awards or series of Awards under the Plan.

     (e) “Cause” means, with respect to a Participant’s termination of employment or termination of consultancy, the following: (a) in the case where there is no employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of determination (or such an agreement does not define “cause” (or words of like import)), (i) a Participant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with regard to the Company or an Affiliate or their assets, (ii) a Participant’s misappropriation or fraud with regard to the Company or an Affiliate or their assets (other than good-faith expense account disputes), (iii) a Participant’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform the Participant’s duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), which is not remedied within 10 days of delivery of notice to the Participant thereof, (iv) a Participant’s conviction of, or the pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or criminal offense punishable by a term of imprisonment (other than a traffic violation), or (v) the Participant’s willful violation of any written policy of the Company or an Affiliate or breach of

     (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than (x) a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph (i) or (iii) of this section, or (y) a director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the 1934 Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board;
     (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of the Company with, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, any other corporation or other entity, in each case, unless, following such merger, consolidation or sale (A) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or purchasing entity (the “Surviving Entity”)) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or the Surviving Entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or sale; and (B) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Entity were Incumbent Directors at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such merger, consolidation or sale; or
     (iv) upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Awards that constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code, Change in Control shall have the same meaning as set forth in any regulations, revenue procedure or revenue rulings issued by the Secretary of the United States Treasury applicable to such plans.
     (g) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and includes a reference to the underlying final regulations.
     (h) “Committee” means the committee of the Board described in Article 4.

2


 

     (i) “Company” means PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor corporation.
     (j) “Continuous Status as a Participant” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an employee, officer, consultant or director of the Company or any Affiliate, as applicable; provided, however, that for purposes of an Incentive Stock Option, or a Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, “Continuous Status as a Participant” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as applicable, pursuant to applicable tax regulations. Continuous Status as a Participant shall continue to the extent provided in a written severance or employment agreement during any period for which severance compensation payments are made to an employee, officer, consultant or director and shall not be considered interrupted in the case of any short-term disability or leave of absence authorized in writing by the Company prior to its commencement; provided, however, that for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed 90 days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, on the 91st day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Awards that constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A(d) of the Code, Continuous Status as a Participant shall mean the absence of any “separation from service” or similar concept as set forth in any regulations, revenue procedure or revenue rulings issued by the Secretary of the United States Treasury applicable to such plans.
     (k) “Covered Employee” means a covered employee as defined in Code Section 162(m)(3).
     (l) “Deferred Stock Unit” means a right granted to a Participant under Article 11.
     (m) “Disability” or “Disabled” has the same meaning as provided in the long-term disability plan or policy maintained by the Company or if applicable, most recently maintained, by the Company or if applicable, an Affiliate, for the Participant, whether or not such Participant actually receives disability benefits under such plan or policy. If no long-term disability plan or policy was ever maintained on behalf of Participant or if the determination of Disability relates to an Incentive Stock Option, or a Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, Disability means Permanent and Total Disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

  (1)   The expiration date set forth in the Award Certificate.
 
  (2)   The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

ARTICLE 9
PERFORMANCE AWARDS
     9.1. GRANT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares, Performance Units or Performance-Based Cash Awards to Participants on such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee.
     9.2. PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee may establish performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of the Participant, an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or an Affiliate conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in amount determined by the Committee. The foregoing two

sentences shall not apply with respect to a Performance Award that is intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award.
     9.3. RIGHT TO PAYMENT. The grant of a Performance Share to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified number of Shares, or the equivalent cash value, if the performance goals established by the Committee are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The grant of a Performance Unit to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified dollar value, which may be settled in cash or other property, including Shares, variable under conditions specified in the Award, if the performance goals in the Award are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The grant of a Performance-Based Cash Award to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified dollar value in cash variable under conditions specified in the Award, if the performance goals in the Award are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The Committee shall set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the Performance Awards in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the value of the Performance Awards that will be paid to the Participant.
     9.4. OTHER TERMS. The terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Awards shall be determined by the Committee. For purposes of determining the number of Shares to be used in payment of a Performance Award denominated in cash but payable in whole or in part in Shares or Restricted Stock, the number of Shares to be so paid will be determined by dividing the cash value of the Award to be so paid by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of determination by the Committee of the amount of the payment under the Award, or, if the Committee so directs, the date immediately preceding the date the Award is paid.

     10.4. DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the time of grant either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant.

ARTICLE 14
QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS
     14.1. OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The provisions of the Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder to any Covered Employee shall qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption.
     14.2. OTHER AWARDS. When granting an Award other than an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that the recipient is or may be a Covered Employee with respect to such Award, and the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. If an Award is so designated, the Committee shall establish performance goals for such Award within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code based on one or more of the following Qualified Business Criteria, which may be expressed in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of an Affiliate or a division, region, department, function or

11


 

combination thereof within the Company or an Affiliate: revenue; sales; profit (net profit, gross profit, operating profit, economic profit, profit margins or other corporate profit measures); earnings (EBIT, EBITDA, earnings per share, or other corporate earnings measures); net income (before or after taxes, operating income or other income measures); cash (cash flow, cash generation or other cash measures); stock price or performance; total stockholder return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends divided by beginning share price); return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, equity, or sales, and cash flow return on assets, capital, equity, or sales); market share; improvements in capital structure; expenses (expense management, expense ratio, expense efficiency ratios or other expense measures); business expansion or consolidation (acquisitions and divestitures); internal rate of return or increase in net present value; working capital targets relating to inventory and/or accounts receivable; or planning accuracy (as measured by comparing planned results to actual results).
     Performance goals with respect to the foregoing Qualified Business Criteria may be specified in absolute terms, in percentages, or in terms of growth from period to period or growth rates over time, as well as measured relative to an established or specially-created performance index of Company competitors or peers. Any member of a specially-created performance index that undergoes a corporate event or transaction of a kind described in Article 16 or that files a petition for bankruptcy during a measurement period shall be disregarded from and after such event. Performance goals need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a business criterion and could include, for example, the maintenance of the status quo or the limitation of economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to a specific business criterion).
     14.3. PERFORMANCE GOALS. Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than a market-priced Option or SAR) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee based upon one or more of the Qualified Business Criteria, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant thereof or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such performance goals will be waived upon the death or Disability of the Participant, or upon a Change in Control. Performance periods established by the Committee for any such Qualified Performance-Based Award may be as short as three months and may be any longer period. In addition, the Committee may reserve the right, in connection with the grant of a Qualified Performance-Based Award, to exercise negative discretion to determine that the portion of such Award actually earned, vested and/or payable (as applicable) shall be less than the portion that would be earned, vested and/or payable based solely upon application of the applicable performance goals.
     14.4. INCLUSIONS AND EXCLUSIONS FROM PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. The Committee may provide in any Qualified Performance-Based Award that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a performance period: asset write-downs or impairment charges; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or provisions affecting reported results; accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; acquisitions or divestitures; and foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility.
     14.5. CERTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE GOALS. Any payment of a Qualified Performance-Based Award granted with performance goals pursuant to Section 14.3 above shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied. Except as specifically provided in Section 14.3, no Qualified Performance-Based Award held by a Covered Employee or by an employee who in the reasonable judgment of the Committee may be a Covered Employee on the date of payment, may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under the Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award under the Plan, in any manner to waive the achievement of the applicable performance goal based on Qualified Business Criteria or to increase the amount payable pursuant thereto or the value thereof, or otherwise in a manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption.

ARTICLE 15
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
     15.1. STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan. Subject to Section 17.2, Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.
     15.2. TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Option or a Stock Appreciation Right exceed a period of ten years from its Grant Date (or, if Section 7.2(d) applies, five years from its Grant Date).
     15.3. FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Certificate, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the Grant Date, including without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.
     15.4. LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Code Section 422(b), and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Awards. Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 15.4 shall be null and void.
     15.5. BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 15.4, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Company.
     15.6. STOCK CERTIFICATES. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.
     15.7. ACCELERATION UPON DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or any special Plan document governing an Award, upon a Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement during his or her Continuous Status as a Participant, (i) all of such Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs, and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the target payout opportunities attainable under all of such Participant’s outstanding performance-based equity Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the date of termination based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level and there shall be a pro rata payout to the Participant or his or her estate within thirty (30) days following the date of termination based upon the length of time within the performance

13


 

period that has elapsed prior to the date of termination. In addition, upon a Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement of a Participant, the Committee may determine that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Performance-Based Cash Awards held by that Participant shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. Any Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(c), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.
     15.8. ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or in an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant, in the event of a Change in Control or if a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the Participant resigns for Good Reason within six months after the effective date of a Change in Control, then, in the discretion of the Committee (which may be exercised prior to or following any Change in Control), the Committee may determine (which determination may be selective and non-uniform among Participants) that: (i) all of that Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised may be terminated or may be accelerated to become fully exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or (iii) the target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding of that Participant’s performance-based Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned based upon an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level and there shall be pro rata payout to such Participant within thirty (30) days following the date of Change in Control or termination of employment based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to the date of Change in Control or termination of employment.
     15.9. DISCRETIONARY ACCELERATION. Regardless of whether an event has occurred as described in Section 15.7 or 15.8 above, and subject to Article 14 as to Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that, upon the termination of service of a Participant, or the occurrence of a Change in Control, all or a portion of such Participant’s Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall terminate or become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards held by that Participant shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may be selective and non-uniform among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 15.9.
     15.10. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall not be deemed to terminate (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to an Affiliate, transfers from an Affiliate to the Company, or transfers from one Affiliate to another Affiliate, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the Company or any Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a Participant is deemed to cease to be an employee of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary for purposes of Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.
     15.11. DEFERRAL. Subject to applicable law, the Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares or other property that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR, the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Awards, and Other Stock-Based Awards. If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals.
     15.12. FORFEITURE EVENTS. The Committee may specify in an Award Certificate that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Such events may include, but are not limited to, termination of employment for cause, violation of material Company or Affiliate policies, breach of non-

14


 

competition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate.
     15.13. SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the former employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.
ARTICLE 16
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE
     16.1. GENERAL. In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may adjust the Plan and Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, (v) that performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, consistent with Code Section 162(m) where applicable, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor. To the extent that any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 16 cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.
ARTICLE 17
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
     17.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.
     (a) The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants, (ii) materially increase the number of Shares available under the Plan, (iii) expand the types of awards under the Plan, (iv) materially expand the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan, (v) materially extend the term of the Plan, or (vi) otherwise constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable to (i) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (ii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations.

15


 

     (b) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise price or base value of such Award).
     17.2. AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however:
     (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Award);
     (b) The original term of an Option may not be extended without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company; and
     (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article 16, the exercise price of an Option or SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company.
ARTICLE 18
GENERAL PROVISIONS
     18.1. NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS; NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS. No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated).
     18.2. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such Participant in connection with the Award.
     18.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan or an Award. If Shares are permitted to be surrendered to the Company to satisfy tax obligations in excess of the minimum tax withholding obligation, such Shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for such period of time, if any, as the Committee may determine. The Company shall have the authority to require a Participant to remit cash to the Company in lieu of the surrender of Shares for tax withholding obligations if the Committee so determines. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes.
     18.4. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, director or consultant at

16


 

any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise.
     18.5. UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA.
     18.6. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless specifically provided otherwise in such other plan.
     18.7. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.
     18.8. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
     18.9. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.
     18.10. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.
     18.11. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.
     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.
     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement.
     18.12. GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
     18.13. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each Award Certificate may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

17


 

     18.14. NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
     18.15. INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Article 4 shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of his or her own willful misconduct or except as expressly provided by statute. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
     18.16. FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS. In order to facilitate the granting of Awards to Eligible Participants who are foreign nationals or who are employed outside of the United States of America, the Committee may provide for such special terms and conditions, including without limitation substitutes for Awards, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Committee may approve any supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this Section 18.16 without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose, and the Secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company may certify any such documents as having been approved and adopted pursuant to properly delegated authority; provided, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements or alternative versions shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the spirit of this Plan, as then in effect. Participants subject to the laws of a foreign jurisdiction may request copies of, or the right to view, any materials that are required to be provided by the Company pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction.
     18.17. NOTICE. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Plan to the Company shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or mailed, postage pre-paid, as follows: (i) if to the Company, at its principal business address to the attention of the Secretary; and (ii) if to any Participant, at the last address of the Participant known to the sender at the time the notice or other communication is sent.
     18.18. INUREMENT OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. The rights and obligations under this Plan and any related documents shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Participants and their beneficiaries.
     18.19. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Except as otherwise provided herein, the costs and expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company, and shall not be charged to any Award nor to any Participant receiving an Award. Costs and expenses associated with the redemption or exercise of any Award under this Plan, including, but not limited to, commissions charged by any agent of the Company, may be charged to the Participant.

No fractional Shares shall be issued and any fractional Share shall be rounded to the nearest whole Share. Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, all Shares shall be issued in certificate form in the name of the Director (or any designee) as promptly as practicable following the date of payment.
