              PAYDOWN ADDENDUM TO BUSINESS FINANCING AGREEMENT AND
                        AGREEMENT FOR WHOLESALE FINANCING
                   (Credit for Inventory Financed by DFS Only)

      This  Addendum is made to (i) that certain  Business  Financing  Agreement
executed on the ___ day August, 2000, between ePlus Technology,  inc. ("Dealer")
and Deutsche Financial Services Corporation ("DFS"), as amended ("BFA") and (ii)
that certain  Agreement for  Wholesale  Financing  between  Dealer and DFS dated
September 8, 2000, as amended ("AWF").

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DFS and Dealer agree as follows:

      1.  Section 3.2 of the BFA is hereby  amended to read as follows,  and, to
the  extent  applicable,  the  following  provision  shall  also  amend  the AWF
(capitalized  terms  shall  have the same  meaning  as defined in the BFA unless
otherwise indicated):

         "3.2 Available Credit;  Paydown. On receipt of each Schedule,  DFS will
         credit  Dealer  with such  amount as DFS may deem  advisable  up to the
         remainder of (a) the sum of (i) Ninety  Percent (90%) of the net amount
         of the eligible  Government  Accounts listed in such Schedule plus (ii)
         Eighty-Five   Percent   (85%)  of  the  net  amount  of  the   eligible
         Non-Government   Accounts  listed  in  such  Schedule  (the  applicable
         percentage set forth in (a)(i) and (a)(ii) is  hereinafter  referred to
         as the  "Advance  Rate"),  minus (b) the amount of Dealer's SPP Deficit
         (as defined  below) under  Dealer's  Agreement for Wholesale  Financing
         (the  'AWF')  with DFS as in effect  from time to time (the  'Available
         Credit').

         Dealer's 'SPP Deficit' shall mean the amount, if any, by which Dealer's
         total current  outstanding  indebtedness to DFS under the AWF as of the
         date of the Inventory  Report (as defined  below) exceeds the Inventory
         Value (as defined  below) as determined  by, and as of the date of, the
         Inventory Report.  Such SPP Deficit,  if any, will remain in effect for
         purposes of this Agreement until the preparation and delivery by Dealer
         to DFS of a new  Inventory  Report.  Dealer will  forward to DFS by the
         tenth  (10th) day of every month an  Inventory  Report  dated as of the
         last  day of the  prior  month  which  specifies  the  total  aggregate
         wholesale  invoice price of all of Dealer's  inventory  financed by DFS
         under the AWF that is unsold and in Dealer's  possession and control as
         of the date of the Inventory Report.

         The term Inventory  Value is defined herein to mean One Hundred Percent
         (100%)  of  the  total  aggregate  wholesale  invoice  price  of all of
         Dealer's  inventory financed by DFS under the AWF that is unsold and in
         Dealer's  possession and control as of the date of the Inventory Report
         and to the  extent  that  DFS has a  first  priority,  fully  perfected
         security interest therein.

         In addition,  if Dealer's  outstanding  loans under  Dealer's  accounts
         receivable  credit  facility  as set  forth  in  Section  2.1  of  this
         Agreement at any time exceed  Dealer's  Available  Credit,  Dealer will
         immediately  pay to DFS an amount not less than the difference  between
         (i)  Dealer's  outstanding  loans under  Dealer's  accounts  receivable
         credit facility as set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and (ii)
         Dealer's Available Credit.

         Furthermore,  as an  amendment  to the AWF, in the event  Dealer's  SPP
         Deficit  exceeds at any time (a) the Advance Rate  multipled by the net
         amount of Dealer's eligible  Accounts,  minus (b) Dealer's  outstanding
         loans under Dealer's  accounts  receivable credit facility as set forth
         in Section 2.1 of this Agreement,  Dealer will  immediately pay to DFS,
         as a reduction of Dealer's total current  outstanding  indebtedness  to
         DFS under the AWF, the difference between (i) Dealer's SPP Deficit, and
         (ii) (a) the  Advance  Rate  multipled  by the net  amount of  Dealer's
         eligible  Accounts minus (b) Dealer's  outstanding loans under Dealer's
         accounts receivable credit facility as set forth in Section 2.1 of this
         Agreement. DFS will loan Dealer, on request, such amount so credited or
         a part  thereof  as  requested  provided  that  at no  time  will  such
         outstanding  loans exceed Dealer's maximum accounts  receivable  credit
         facility as set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement.  No advances or
         loans need be made by DFS if Dealer is in Default."

     any kind and nature  whatsoever,  whether  direct or indirect,  absolute or
     contingent, and including obligations under capitalized leases, guaranties,

     whether or not direct  recourse  liability has been assumed by Dealer;  and
     (iv)  'Subordinated  Debt' means all of Dealer's Debt which is subordinated
     to the payment of Dealer's  liabilities  to DFS by an agreement in form and

     applied, and, if applicable, on a consolidated basis."
