 EXHIBIT 10.17(C) 
  
 SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS 
  
 THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND OTHER FINANCING
AGREEMENTS (this “Amendment”), dated as of October 31, 2002, is entered into among CONGRESS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WESTERN), a California corporation (“Lender”), PC MALL, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known
as IdeaMall, Inc. (“PC Mall”), PC MALL SALES, INC., a California corporation formerly known as Creative Computers, Inc. (“PC Mall Sales”) ECOST.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ecost”),
ELINUX.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (“eLinux”), CCIT, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Creative Computers Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“CCIT”), WF ACQUISITION SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“WF Sub”), COMPUTABILITY LIMITED, a Delaware corporation (“Computability” and together with PC Mall, PC Mall Sales, ecost, eLinux, CCIT and WF Sub, collectively referred to herein as “Existing
Borrowers”), AF SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AF Services”), PC MALL GOV, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PCMG”), CLUBMAC, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ClubMac”), ONSALE, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (“Onsale”), AV ACQUISITION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AV Acquisition”), MALL ACQUISITION 1, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as PCM.com, Inc. (“Acquisition 1”)
and MALL ACQUISITION 2, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as PCMall.com, Inc. (“Acquisition 2”) and together with AF Services, PCMG, ClubMac, Onsale, AV Acquisition and Acquisition 1, collectively referred to herein as
“New Borrowers”). Existing Borrowers and New Borrowers will collectively be referred to herein as “Borrowers”. 
  
 RECITALS 
 A. Existing Borrowers and
Lender have previously entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated March 7, 2001 as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender has made certain loans and financial accommodations available to Existing
Borrowers. Terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. 
  
 B. In connection with the Loan Agreement, PC Mall and Lender have previously entered into that certain Stock Pledge Agreement dated March 7, 2001 (the
“Pledge Agreement”), covering the capital stock of the other Existing Borrowers. 
  
 C. PC Mall owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of New Borrowers. 
  
 D. AF Services was formed to purchase inventory and provide administrative and fulfillment services for the other Borrowers
and to conduct sales under the tradename “PC Mall Services”. 
  
 E. PCMG was formed to conduct sales to governmental entities under the name “PC Mall Gov”. 







 F. ClubMac will acquire the business purchased by PC Mall from Pacific Business Systems, Inc. (the
“PBS Business”). 
  
 G. Onsale was formed to
conduct internet auction sales. 
  
 H. AV Acquisition, Acquisition
1 and Acquisition 2 were formed for future acquisitions. 
  
 I.
Borrowers have requested Lender to add New Borrowers as co-borrowers under the Loan Agreement and to make loans and provide other financial accommodations to all Borrowers upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement (as amended hereby), and
Lender is willing to accede to such request upon the terms and conditions set forth below. 
  
 J. As affiliated companies under the common ownership of PC Mall, the financial success of each Borrower is largely dependant on the financial success of the other Borrowers. Although certain of the Borrowers operate
separate and distinct core businesses in designated geographical areas, administrative and other service functions will be performed for all of the Borrowers under the auspices of AF Services and all of the Borrowers are providing technology-related
goods and services for the ultimate benefit of PC Mall and its shareholders. It would be extremely impractical and unfeasible for each Borrower to report separately its Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory and to receive separately the proceeds
of advances based upon such Borrower’s Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory alone. Borrowers have therefore requested Lender to make funds available under the Loan Agreement to all Borrowers based upon all of their Eligible Accounts and
Eligible Inventory. All advances and credit accommodations made under the Loan Agreement will thereby benefit all of the Borrowers by providing an available source of credit for all of the Borrowers, as needed, to fund their working capital needs.

  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Amendments. 
  
 (a) Addition of New Borrowers. New Borrowers are hereby added as co-borrowers under the Loan Agreement with the same force and effect as if New
Borrowers had duly executed and delivered the Loan Agreement as Borrowers thereunder in addition to the Existing Borrowers. Without limiting the foregoing: 
  
 (i) The definitions of “Borrower” and “Borrowers” in the preamble of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended to include New Borrowers
in addition to the Existing Borrowers. 
  
 (ii) Each of the New
Borrowers and each of the Existing Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations. 
  

 2 








 (iii) To secure payment and performance of all Obligations, each of the New Borrowers hereby grants to
Lender a continuing security interest in, a lien upon, and a right of set off against, and hereby assigns to Lender as security, all Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or existing, and wherever located. 
  
 (iv) The Information Certificates of New Borrowers attached hereto as
Exhibit A are hereby included in Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement in addition to the Information Certificates of the Existing Borrowers.

Section 9.10(d) hereof.” 
  
 (c) Acquisitions. Section
9.10(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

PC Mall (the “Total Consideration”) or the amount of the subject Subsidiary Investments (as applicable), plus (B) the aggregate sum of the 

  

 3 








 
Total Considerations for all Targets previously acquired by Borrowers (excluding Pacific Business Systems, Inc. and Wareforce Incorporated) plus all
Subsidiary Investments previously made by Borrowers, shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000); 
  
 (iii) As of the date of the acquisition of the subject Target and any related Targets or the making of the subject Subsidiary Investments (as applicable)

 (vi) The subject Target and the Person acquiring the subject Target or the subject New Subsidiary (as applicable) shall guaranty the Obligations, and the
assets and capital stock of the subject Target and such Person or the subject New Subsidiary (as applicable) shall be pledged to Lender, all pursuant to documents in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; 
  
 (vii) No Event of Default, or event that with notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the acquisition of the subject Target or the making of the subject Subsidiary Investments (as applicable); 
  
 (viii) Borrowers shall give prior written notice to Lender of the
acquisition of the subject Target or the making of the subject Subsidiary Investments as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the closing thereof if the Total Consideration for the subject
Target and any related Targets or the amount of the Subsidiary Investments (as applicable) is greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000); 
  
 (ix) Lender shall have received true, correct and complete copies of the acquisition agreement(s) for the subject Target and all exhibits, schedules,

hereunder, but only at the sole election of Lender. Regardless of whether the subject Target or the Person acquiring the 

  

 4 








 
subject Target or the subject New Subsidiary (as applicable) is or becomes a borrower hereunder, and regardless of whether the Accounts and Inventory of the

Eligible Inventory shall be subject to:

upon which Lender is expressly permitted to rely; 
  
 (xii) The
completion of a field examination by Lender of the subject Target or New Subsidiary with results reasonably satisfactory to Lender; 
  
 (xiii) Such additional eligibility criteria, Availability Reserves and percentage advance rates as Lender shall establish in its commercially reasonable

 (xiv) The chief executive office and jurisdiction of organization of the subject Target or New Subsidiary (as applicable) shall be in the United States, and in any event, only those Accounts generated and invoiced
