Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 2.8) of, and the associated interest earned with respect to, $28.5 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Debt (as defined in Section 2.24); 

WHEREAS, the Company’s parent, CDW Corporation, a Delaware corporation, has filed an S-1 registration statement in contemplation of
an IPO registered public offering of its common stock (the “IPO”);

 WHEREAS, as a result of the
anticipated redemption of a portion of the Senior Subordinated Debt, the Compensation Committee (as defined in Section 2.4), in consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management, has determined
to amend the Plan in certain respects. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby amends and restates the Plan in its entirety as
follows, which amendment and restatement shall take effect immediately prior to, and subject to, the consummation of the IPO:

shall retain a qualified independent appraiser, mutually selected by the Company and the Participant holding the largest number of RDUs, to determine the Fair Market Value of any assets other than cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities. The

SECTION 4 

Principal Component 
  

	4.1	Description of Principal Component 

  

	 	(a)	General. 

 The principal
component of a Participant’s RDUs will represent a fractional interest in the Fair Market Value of the Debt Pool. Each Participant’s fractional interest shall be determined by dividing such Participant’s number of RDUs by 28,500.
Participants shall vest in the principal component of their RDUs according to the vesting rules set forth in Section 6. 
  

	 	(b)	Treatment of Unissued RDUs (Reserve Pool).

 -6 -

	4.3	Payment Form 

 As
determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith, payments under this Section 4 with respect to each Participant shall be made in cash in an amount equal to, or in unrestricted marketable securities that have been registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and that have a Fair Market Value equal to, the Fair Market Value of each such Participant’s fractional interest in the principal component of the Debt Pool (calculated pursuant to Section 4.1).

 SECTION 5 
 Interest Component 
  

	5.1	Description of Interest Component 

  

	 	(a)	General. 

 The interest component
of a Participant’s RDUs shall consist of semi-annual cash payments equal to a pro rata share (based on number of RDUs held by a Participant) of the interest payable on the Debt Pool (which shall be the interest payable on the Senior
Subordinated Debt, or, if Section 7 applies, the interest, dividend or other equivalent periodic payment on the Replacement Assets). Interest shall begin accruing on March 10, 2010, but shall be paid in accordance with Section 5.2
below. 
  

	 	(b)	Reserve Pool. 

 Interest
attributable to RDUs held in the Reserve Pool shall be accumulated in the Reserve Pool. To the extent the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, has not allocated interest accumulated in the Reserve Pool in conjunction with an RDU grant,
immediately prior to December 31, 2014 or an earlier Payment Event, such interest shall be allocated in the same manner as RDUs are allocated on that date pursuant to Section 4.1; provided, however, that if no RDUs remain in the
Reserve Pool on that date, the unallocated previously accumulated interest attributable to earlier periods shall be allocated to Participants who are then employed with the Company, CDW Corporation or their respective subsidiaries pro rata according
to each Participant’s number of RDUs held at such time. 
  

	5.2	Payment Timing 

  

	 	(a)	General. 

 Unless and until a
Payment Event occurs, eligible Participants (as defined in Section 5.3) shall be paid their share of the interest component semi-

  
 -7 -

 
annually in the payroll periods that include the Interest Payment Dates; provided, however, that any and all interest payments payable through December 2011 shall accrue and be paid to
eligible Participants in January 2012, subject to Section 5.3 herein. If a Payment Event occurs between Interest Payment Dates, Participants shall receive a pro rata interest payment for the period ending on the Payment Event date. 

 

	 	(b)	Reserve Pool. 

 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, accumulated interest allocated to Participants pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall be paid on the Payment Event. 
  

	5.3	Payment Eligibility 

 A
Participant who is, on an Interest Payment Date, and has been continuously (except for any absences for vacation, leave, etc. in accordance with the policies of the Company, CDW Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries) (a) employed
by the Company, CDW Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or (b) serving as a member of the Board of Directors or Board of Managers of the Company, CDW Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries (“Director”),
through such Interest Payment Date, shall be eligible to receive payment of the interest component due on that date with respect to the vested and unvested RDUs that have been granted to that Participant. Subject to Section 9 and unless
otherwise provided in a Participant’s RDU award agreement, if a Participant’s employment or service as a Director terminates for any reason, then (1) the Participant shall continue to receive interest component payments with respect
to vested RDUs, and (2) the Participant’s right to receive interest component payments with respect to unvested RDUs shall terminate. Subject to Section 9 and unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s RDU award agreement, if a
Participant’s employment or service as a Director terminates for any reason between Interest Payment Dates, that Participant shall receive a pro rata interest payment with regard to unvested RDUs for the period ending on the date of that
Participant’s termination from employment. 
 Subject to Section 9 and unless otherwise provided in a
Participant’s RDU award agreement: (1) a Participant who is, on December 31, 2011, and has been continuously (except for any absences for vacation, leave, etc. in accordance with the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’
policies) (a) employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (b) serving as a Director), through December 31, 2011, shall be eligible to receive payment of the interest that has accrued on that Participant’s vested and
unvested RDUs pursuant to Section 5.2(a); and (2) if a Participant’s employment or service as a Director terminates for any reason on or before December 31, 2011, that Participant shall forfeit the right to any interest that has
accrued pursuant to Section 5.2(a). 
  

	5.4	Payment Form 

 Payment of
the interest component shall be in cash or such other form of periodic payments or distributions (if any) associated with Replacement Assets as provided in Section 7. 

  
 -8 -

 SECTION 6 
 Vesting 
 A Participant becomes vested in his or her RDUs according to the
vesting schedule in the Participant’s RDU award agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Participant’s RDU award agreement, immediately following a Participant’s termination of employment or service as a Director, any unvested RDUs
(and any interest payments associated with those RDUs pursuant to Section 5 following the date of termination) shall be forfeited and all forfeited RDUs shall be returned to the Reserve Pool. 

SECTION 7 

Impact of Restructuring, Recapitalization, Refinancing and Prepayment 

If a restructuring, recapitalization or refinancing with regard to the entire tranche of Senior Subordinated Debt (or with regard to only
a portion of the Senior Subordinated Debt but on a pro rata basis across the entire tranche of Senior Subordinated Debt) occurs in a manner that does not trigger a Payment Event, the Debt Pool (or the equivalent pro rata portion of the Debt Pool if
such transaction is with regard to less than the entire tranche), shall be deemed to be replaced with a hypothetical pool of assets equivalent to the assets that would be received by the holders of $28.5 million principal amount of Senior
Subordinated Debt (the “Replacement Assets”), and Participants shall be eligible to receive (i) periodic payments with respect to such pool equivalent to the interest, dividends or other periodic payments associated with the
Replacement Assets, which amounts shall be payable at the time specified in Section 5.2, and (ii) upon a Payment Event, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Replacement Assets as of the date of such Payment Event. 

If the Company’s Senior Subordinated Debt (or the Replacement Assets) is prepaid (i.e., the Senior Subordinated Debt is paid off
using available cash and not replaced with alternative indebtedness or equity) in full or prepaid in part on a pro rata basis across the entire tranche of Senior Subordinated Debt, the Debt Pool or Replacement Assets, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to be replaced (in whole or, in the case of a partial pro rata prepayment, on an equivalent pro rata basis) with cash equal to the amount of such prepayment: provided that any prepayment premium that would be associated with the $28.5
million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Debt (or the Replacement Assets) shall be treated as principal hereunder and shall be allocated pro rata according to each Participant’s number of RDUs and paid on a Payment Event. 

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any transaction constituting a prepayment, or an exchange or similar transaction, in each
case with regard to only a portion of the Senior Subordinated Debt and that is on a non-pro rata basis, there shall be no change to the Debt Pool. 

  
 -9 -

 If at any time the holders of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Debt (or the
Replacement Assets) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause such Senior Subordinated Debt (or Replacement Assets) to be redeemed or sold in a transaction with an unrelated party, the Compensation Committee shall determine, in good
faith, whether and to what extent it shall be in the best interests of the Participants to have the hypothetical assets in the Debt Pool or the Replacement Assets be deemed to have been sold or redeemed in such transaction, with any such deemed
proceeds being paid to the Participants or reinvested on the Participants’ behalf in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above. Any such Compensation Committee determination shall be made simultaneously with the actual consummation of
the relevant transaction. 
 With respect to the portion of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Debt that is prepaid after
the IPO, the interest component of each Participant’s RDUs that accrued prior to the date of such prepayment shall be paid on the first Interest Payment Date to occur after the date of such prepayment. Pursuant to the discretion reserved by the
Compensation Committee, no additional interest shall accrue on the cash amount that is allocated to Participants pursuant to this Section 7 upon the prepayment of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Debt, whether such prepayment occurs in
connection with the IPO or thereafter. 
 SECTION 8 

Retention Payments 
  

	8.1	First Retention Pool 

 As
of the First Retention Payment Date, the First Retention Pool shall be allocated to Participants who are then employed by the Company, CDW Corporation or their respective subsidiaries pro rata according to the number of RDUs held by each Participant
who is eligible to receive an allocation under this Section 8.1, and the amount so allocated to each such Participant shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment not later than 30 days after the First Retention Payment Date. 

 

	8.2	Second Retention Pool 

 As
of December 31, 2015, the Second Retention Pool shall be allocated to Participants who are then employed by the Company, CDW Corporation or their respective subsidiaries pro rata according to the number of RDUs held by each Participant who is
eligible to receive an allocation under this Section 8.2, and the amount so allocated to each such Participant shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment on the Second Retention Payment Date. 

  
 -10 -

	8.3	Third Retention Pool 

 If
any portion of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Debt is prepaid on or after the Second Retention Payment Date and prior to a Payment Event, a Third Retention Pool shall be established and shall be allocated to all Participants pro rata
according to the number of RDUs that were held by each Participant as of the Second Retention Payment Date, and the amount so allocated to each such Participant shall be paid during the 2017 calendar year; provided that upon a Sale of the
Company, any unpaid installments shall be paid in a lump such cash payment within 30 days after such Sale of the Company. 

SECTION 9

agrees that if Seller refuses to consent to invasive testing recommended by any independent third party professional
retained by Purchaser to conduct environmental due diligence of the Property, and as a result thereof Purchaser terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then, in such event, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its

5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on the last day of the Inspection Period for any reason or for no reason (a “Termination Notice”). If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Termination Notice to Seller, such failure shall be deemed
Purchaser’s election to proceed with “Closing” (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event that the Closing fails to occur solely as a result of

returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall be terminated, and neither Party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to the other (other than the indemnification obligations with respect to
