Prime Referenced Rate Addendum To 

Loan and Security Agreement





     This Prime Referenced Rate Addendum to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Addendum”) is
entered into as of March ___, 2009, by and between Comerica Bank (“Bank”) and Priority Fulfillment
Services, Inc. (“Borrower”). This Addendum supplements the terms of the First Amended and Restated
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 29, 2004 (as the same may be amended, modified,
supplemented, extended or restated from time to time, collectively, the “Agreement”).


1. Definitions. As used in this Addendum, the following terms shall have the
following meanings. Initially capitalized terms used and not defined in this Addendum shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.




     a. “Applicable Margin” means two percent (2.00%) per annum.



     b. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day designated as
a holiday under Federal or applicable State statute or regulation, on which Bank is open for all or
substantially all of its domestic and international business (including dealings in foreign
exchange) in San Jose, California, and, in respect of notices and determinations relating the Daily
Adjusting LIBOR Rate, also a day on which dealings in dollar deposits are also carried on in the
London interbank market and on which banks are open for business in London, England.



     c. “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal
to the quotient of the following:




	 	(1)	 	for any day, the per annum rate of interest determined on the basis
of the rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a period equal to one (1)
month appearing on Page BBAM of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Information
Service as of 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as practical) on
such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding
Business Day. In the event that such rate does not appear on Page BBAM of the
Bloomberg Financial Markets Information Service (or otherwise on such Service) on
any day, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall be determined by
reference to such other publicly available service for displaying eurodollar
rates as may be reasonably selected by Bank, or in the absence of such other
service, the “Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate” for such day shall, instead, be
determined based upon the average of the rates at which Bank is offered dollar
deposits at or about 8:00 a.m. (California time) (or as soon thereafter as
practical), on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately
preceding Business Day, in the interbank eurodollar market in an amount
comparable to the principal amount of the Obligations and for a period equal to
one (1) month;
	 
	 	 	 	divided by
	 
	 	(2)	 	1.00 minus the maximum rate (expressed as a decimal) on such day at
which Bank is required to maintain reserves on “Euro-currency Liabilities” as
defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or, if such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as
Bank is required to maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which
includes eurodollar deposits or includes a category of assets which includes
eurodollar loans, the rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained
on such category.





     d. “Prime Rate” means the per annum interest rate established by Bank as its prime rate for
its borrowers, as such rate may vary from time to time, which rate is not necessarily the lowest
rate on loans made by Bank at any such time.



     e. “Prime Referenced Rate” means, for any day, a per annum interest rate which is equal to the
Prime Rate in effect on such day, but in no event and at no time shall the Prime Referenced Rate be
less than the sum of the Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for such day plus two and one-half percent
(2.50%) per annum. If, at any time, Bank determines that it is unable to determine or ascertain the
Daily Adjusting LIBOR Rate for any day, the Prime Referenced Rate for each such day shall be the
Prime Rate in effect at such time, but not less than two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum.


2. Interest Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum, the
Obligations under the Agreement shall bear interest at the Prime Referenced Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.



3. Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid balance of the
Obligations outstanding under the Agreement shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the 15th day
of each month, until maturity (whether as stated herein, by acceleration, or otherwise). In the
event that any payment under this Addendum becomes due and payable on any day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, to
the extent applicable, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon during such
extension at the rates set forth in this Addendum. Interest accruing hereunder shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be assessed for the actual number of days elapsed,
and in such computation, effect shall be given to any change in the applicable interest rate as a
result of any change in the Prime Referenced Rate on the date of each such change.




-1-









 







4. Bank’s Records. The amount and date of each advance under the Agreement, its
applicable interest rate, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Bank’s
records, which records shall be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error;
provided, however, any failure by Bank to make any such notation, or any error in
any such notation, shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay Bank all amounts payable
by Borrower to Bank under or pursuant to this Addendum and the Agreement, when due in accordance
with the terms hereof.



5. Default Interest Rate. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, and
so long as any such Event of Default remains unremedied or uncured thereafter, the Obligations
outstanding under the Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate of five percent (5%) above
the otherwise applicable interest rate hereunder, which interest shall be payable upon demand. In
addition to the foregoing, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each late payment
hereunder may be charged on any payment not received by Bank within ten (10) calendar days after
the payment due date therefor, but acceptance of payment of any such charge shall not constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default under the Agreement. In no event shall the interest payable under
this Addendum and the Agreement at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.



6. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any
Obligations at any time without premium or penalty. Any prepayment hereunder shall also be
accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid. Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not, in any way whatsoever, limit,
restrict, or otherwise affect Bank’s right to make demand for payment of all or any part of the
Obligations under the Agreement due on a demand basis in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.



7. Regulatory Developments or Other Circumstances Relating to the Daily Adjusting LIBOR
Rate.




     a. If the adoption after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in, any
applicable law, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) of any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof: (a) shall subject Bank
to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Addendum or any Obligations under the
Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal of or
interest under this Addendum or any other amounts due under this Addendum in respect thereof
(except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the
jurisdiction in which Bank’s principal executive office is located); or (b) shall impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or shall impose on Bank or the foreign
exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting this Addendum or the Obligations
hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of maintaining
any part of the Obligations hereunder or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
Bank under this Addendum by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then Borrower shall pay to
Bank, within fifteen (15) days of Borrower=s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such
compensation, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or
reduction. A certificate of Bank, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and
submitted by Bank to Borrower, setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.



     b. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or
foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or
directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based
capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank), and Bank determines that the amount of
such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any obligations of Bank hereunder or
the maintaining of any Obligations hereunder, and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate
of return on Bank’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such
obligations or the maintaining of such Obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or
such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Borrower shall pay to Bank,
within fifteen (15) days of Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Bank demanding such
compensation, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling
corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank
reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of any obligations of the Bank hereunder or
to maintaining any Obligations hereunder. A certificate of Bank as to the amount of such
compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by Bank to
the undersigned, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.


8. Commitment Fee. In consideration of Bank’s commitment to make Advances, Borrower
will pay to Bank a commitment fee determined on a daily basis by applying the per annum rate of
0.50% to the Unused Borrowing Base determined at the end of each day. The commitment fee shall be
due and payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter and at the Revolving Maturity
Date. The term “Unused Borrowing Base” means, at any time of determination, the Borrowing Base
minus the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances and amounts outstanding under the Letter of
Credit Sublimit



9. Legal Effect. Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and
conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.



10. Conflicts. As to the matters specifically the subject of this Addendum, in the
event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall
control.
