                                PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished to the stockholders of PFSweb, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("PFSweb" or the "Company"), in connection with the
solicitation of proxies for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the "Annual Meeting"), to be held at the Stonebriar Country Club, Frisco,
Texas, on Friday, September 15, 2000, at 10:00 a.m. and at any and all
adjournments thereof.

     This solicitation is being made on behalf of the Board of Directors of the
Company. This Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
enclosed proxy card and the Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K were first
mailed to stockholders on or about July 31, 2000.

     The shares represented by a proxy in the enclosed form, if such proxy is
properly executed and is received by the Company prior to or at the Annual
Meeting, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon.
Proxies on which no specification has been made by the stockholder will be
voted:

        (i) in favor of the election of the two nominees to the Board of
            Directors listed in this Proxy Statement;

        (ii)  in favor of the adoption of the Company's 2000 Employee Stock
              Purchase Plan; and

        (iii) to ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's
              independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001.

     Any proxy given by a stockholder may be revoked at any time before its
exercise by sending a subsequently dated proxy or by giving written notice of
revocation, in each case, to the Company's Secretary, at the Company's principal
executive offices at the address set forth above. Stockholders who attend the
Annual Meeting in person may withdraw their proxies at any time before their
shares are voted by voting their shares in person.

     Stockholders of record at the close of business on July 20, 2000 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On
the Record Date, the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company
consisted of 17,870,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), each of which is entitled to one vote on all matters which may
properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

     The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to
constitute a quorum. Each item presented herein to be voted on at the Annual
Meeting must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of
the number of shares present either in person or represented by proxy. The
inspector of elections appointed by the Company will count all votes cast, in
person or by submission of a properly executed proxy, before the closing of the
polls at the meeting. Abstentions and "broker non-votes" (nominees holding
shares for beneficial owners who have not voted on a specific matter) will be
treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at
the Annual Meeting. However, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no
effect on the vote, because the vote required is a majority of the votes
actually cast (assuming the presence of a quorum).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

     All references in this Proxy Statement to the Company's fiscal year mean
the 12 month period ending on March 31 of such year.

     Prior to July 6, 2000, the Company was a subsidiary of Daisytek
International Corporation ("Daisytek"). During the Company's 2000 fiscal year,
the Company completed an initial public offering of approximately
<PAGE>   5

19.9% of its outstanding common stock as the first step in the spin-off and
separation of the Company from Daisytek. In order to effect this spin-off, on
June 8, 2000 Daisytek declared a dividend on its common stock consisting of a
total of 14,305,000 shares of PFSweb common stock owned by Daisytek (the
"Distribution" or "spin-off"). The dividend was paid at the close of business on
July 6, 2000 to the holders of record of Daisytek common stock as of the close
of business on June 19, 2000, in the amount of 0.81 of a share of PFSweb common
stock for each share of outstanding Daisytek common stock.

ITEM I  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Board of Directors consists of seven members which are divided into
three classes. Each class serves three years, with the terms of office of the
respective classes expiring in successive years. The term of Class I directors
expires at the Annual Meeting. Each director elected as a Class I director at
the Annual Meeting will have a term of three years. The nominees for the Class I
directors are Peter P. J. Vikanis and James F. Reilly who have been nominated
and recommended by the Board of Directors. If elected, Messrs. Vikanis and
Reilly are expected to serve until the Company's 2003 annual meeting of
stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. The shares
represented by proxies in the accompanying form will be voted for the election
of these nominees unless authority to so vote is withheld. The Board of
Directors has no reason to believe that such nominees will not serve if elected,
but if they should become unavailable to serve as directors, and if the Board
designates substitute nominees, the persons named as proxies will vote for the
substitute nominees designated by the Board. Directors will be elected by a
majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

     The following information, which has been provided by the individuals
named, sets forth the nominees for election to the Board of Directors and the
continuing Class II and III directors, such person's name, age, principal
occupation or employment during at least the past five years, the name of the
corporation or other organization, if any, in which such occupation or
employment is carried on and the period during which such person has served as a
director of the Company.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

     The Board of Directors met eight times during the Company's 2000 fiscal
year. No Director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of
the Board and Committees on which such director served.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

     The Board of Directors currently has standing Audit, Compensation and Stock
Option Committees.

     During fiscal year 2000, the general function of the Audit Committee was to
make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the engagement or discharge
of the independent auditors, review the plan and results of the auditing
engagement with the independent auditors, review the adequacy of the Company's
system of internal accounting controls, monitor compliance with the Company's
business conduct policy and
                                        4
<PAGE>   8

direct and supervise investigations into matters within the scope of its duties.
The Audit Committee met once in respect of fiscal year 2000. During fiscal year
2000, the members of the Audit Committee were Messrs. Vikanis and Murray who are
non-employee directors.

     The Compensation Committee approves, or in some cases recommend, to the
Board, remuneration and compensation arrangements involving the Company's
executive officers and other key employees. During fiscal year 2000, the members
of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Murray and Reilly, who are non-
employee directors. The Compensation Committee also serves as the Stock Option
Committee to administer the Company's employee stock option and purchase plans.
The Compensation Committee and Stock Option Committee met four times in fiscal
year 2000.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     In June 1999 the Company adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock Option and
Retainer Plan (the "Non-Employee Director Plan"). As of the date of the adoption
of the Non-Employee Director Plan, each non-employee director received an option
to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $10.45 per
share. The Non-Employee Director Plan also provides for the future issuance to
each non-employee director of options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
as of the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, if and to
the extent the Board authorizes the payment of non-employee director retainer
fees, each non-employee director may elect to receive payment of such fees in
shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash.

     All options to be issued to non-employee directors under the Non-Employee
Director Plan are non-qualified options for federal income tax purposes and have
an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock as
of the date of the annual meeting upon which such option is granted. All options
have a ten year term and are subject to a one year vesting schedule.

     Generally, unless the Non-Employee Director Plan administrator otherwise
provides, options are non-transferable other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. At the time of any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the corporate
structure or capitalization affecting the Company's common stock, the
Non-Employee Director Plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to
the exercise price, number and kind of shares to be issued under the
Non-Employee Director Plan and any outstanding options. Unless terminated
earlier, the Non-Employee Director Plan will terminate ten years from its
adoption, and no stock options will be granted after the Non-Employee Director
Plan terminates. The Board of Directors has the authority to amend, modify,
suspend or terminate the Non-Employee Director Plan at any time.

     Directors who are also employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
receive no remuneration for serving as directors or Committee members.

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

     The Company and each of the officers named above have entered into Change
in Control and Severance Agreements. Under these agreements, and in
consideration of certain commitments of the officer to continue employment, upon
the occurrence of a change in control, all unvested options held by the officer
immediately vest and become exercisable. In addition, during the two year period
following a change in control, if the employment of the officer is terminated
(other than for cause, death, disability or retirement), or if there is a
material adverse change in the officer's responsibilities, compensation or
benefits to which the officer does not consent, then, in each case, the officer
is entitled to receive from the Company all salary and bonus amounts accrued
through the date of termination plus a severance payment equal to twice the
officer's salary and bonus. If applicable, the officer is also entitled to
receive an additional payment to compensate the officer for any additional
excise tax liability arising by reason of the receipt of such severance payment.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     During fiscal year 2000, the members of the Compensation Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors were Timothy M. Murray and James F. Reilly who are
non-employee directors. Messrs. Murray and Reilly also serve as the members of
the Compensation Committee of Daisytek. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" below for a summary of the relationship between the Company and
Daisytek.

<PAGE>   12

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL YEAR
2000

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") is
responsible for approval or recommendation to the Board of Directors of the
compensation arrangements for the Company's senior executive officers. During
fiscal year 2000, the members of the Committee were Timothy M. Murray and James
F. Reilly who are non-employee directors. Such persons also served as the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Daisytek.

     The Committee believes that the total compensation of the Company's senior
executive officers should be primarily based on the subjective determination of
the Committee as to the Company's overall financial performance and the
individual contribution to such performance. The Committee further believes that
a portion of total compensation should consist of variable, performance-based
components such as stock option awards and bonuses, which it can increase or
decrease to reflect its assessment of changes in corporate and individual
performance. These incentive compensation programs are intended to reinforce
management's commitment to enhance profitability and stockholder value.

     In formulating compensation levels and policies for the 2000 fiscal year,
the Committee did not retain an independent compensation consultant, nor did the
Committee rely upon any formal study or review of comparable companies in the
Company's industry.

     The Committee annually establishes the salaries to be paid to the Chief
Executive Officer and other senior executive officers during each fiscal year.
Base salaries for senior executive officers are set to reflect the duties and
level of responsibility in each position. In setting salaries, the Committee
takes into account several factors including individual job performance, the
level of responsibility and, to the extent information is available, competitive
pay practices in the Company's industry. The Committee does not assign specific
relative weights to the various factors it considers, however, but rather
exercises its discretion and makes a judgment after considering all factors it
deems relevant.

     For fiscal year 2000 and for services rendered to Daisytek and the Company,
the base salary of Mr. Mark Layton, Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President and Chief Executive Officer, was $337,857, which approximated his base
salary of $337,818 for the prior fiscal year. The Committee believes that this
amount appropriately reflected Mr. Layton's services to Daisytek and the
Company, although such determination was not based upon any specific qualitative
or quantitative formula.

     The Committee also administers the Company's stock option plans and
recommends other option grants which are used to further link executive
compensation to the Company's performance. All options are subject to a
multi-year cumulative vesting schedule and have an exercise price not less than
the fair market value on the date of grant. During fiscal year 2000, Mr. Layton
received options to purchase 90,000 shares of Company common stock at an
exercise price of $10.45 per share.

     As part of its overall consideration of executive compensation, the
Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment of various payments and
benefits, including the applicability of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code which provides a limit on the deductibility of compensation for certain
executive officers in excess of $1,000,000 per year. The Committee believes that
no named officer in the Summary Compensation Table had taxable compensation for
fiscal year 2000 in excess of the deduction limit. The Committee intends to
continue to evaluate the impact of this Code provision.

     The Committee believes that the policies and programs described above have
supported the Company's business objectives and have contributed to the
Company's performance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

  The Company's Ongoing Relationship With Daisytek

     Daisytek completed the spin-off of the Company in July 2000. Messrs.
Layton, Powell, Yates, Murray, Vikanis and Reilly, directors of the Company,
also presently serve as directors of Daisytek, and Messrs. Layton and Powell
also serve as executive officers of Daisytek.

     The Company and Daisytek presently have, and expect to continue to have,
significant ongoing relationships. The Company and Daisytek are parties to
various agreements providing for the separation of their respective business
operations. These agreements govern various interim and ongoing relationships
between the companies, including the transaction management services that the
Company provides for Daisytek and the transitional services that Daisytek
provides to the Company.

     All of the agreements between the Company and Daisytek were made in the
context of a parent-subsidiary relationship and were negotiated in the overall
context of the spin-off. Although the Company generally believes that the terms
of these agreements are consistent with fair market values, there can be no
assurance that the prices charged to or by each company under these agreements
are not higher or lower than the prices that may be charged by, or to,
unaffiliated third parties for similar services.

     We have set forth below a summary description of certain of these
agreements. This description is not complete. You should read the full text of
these agreements, which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the
Company's current and quarterly reports.

  Master Separation Agreement

     The Master Separation Agreement sets forth the agreements between the
Company and Daisytek with respect to the principal corporate transactions
required to effect the transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities
necessary to separate the PFSweb business unit from Daisytek and certain other
agreements governing this relationship thereafter.

     Transfer of Assets and Liabilities. Following completion of the Company's
initial public offering, Daisytek transferred to the Company all of the fixed
assets in Daisytek's Memphis distribution facilities as well as certain assets
associated with providing information technology services and the stock of
several subsidiaries of Daisytek representing the business operations of the
Company, and the Company transferred to Daisytek approximately $5.0 million in
cash and assumed approximately $0.3 million of capital lease obligations, as
well as the operating lease obligations related to these assets. The Company
also repaid to Daisytek, from the net proceeds of the initial public offering,
the aggregate sum of approximately $27 million, representing the outstanding
balance of the Company's intercompany payable to Daisytek.

                                       11
<PAGE>   15

     Indemnification. The Company agreed to indemnify Daisytek against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the liabilities transferred
to the Company and the conduct of the PFSweb business after the completion of
the initial public offering. Daisytek agreed to retain, and indemnify the
Company against, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from the
conduct of the PFSweb business prior to the completion of the initial public
offering.

  Initial Public Offering and Distribution Agreement

     General. Daisytek and the Company entered into an Initial Public Offering
and Distribution Agreement which governs their respective rights and duties with
respect to the Company's initial public offering and the spin-off, and sets
forth certain covenants to which they will be bound for various periods
following the offering and the spin-off.

     Preservation of the Tax-free Status of the Spin-off. Daisytek has received
a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the
spin-off will qualify as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") to Daisytek and its stockholders. In
connection with obtaining such ruling, certain representations and warranties
were made regarding the Company, Daisytek and their respective businesses. The
Company has also agreed to certain covenants that are intended to preserve the
tax-free status of the spin-off. These covenants include:

     Certain Acquisition Transactions. Until two years after the completion of
the spin-off, the Company has agreed not to enter into or permit any transaction
or series of transactions that would result in a person or persons acquiring or
having the right to acquire shares of its capital stock that would comprise 50%
or more of either the value of all outstanding shares of its capital stock or
the total combined voting power of its outstanding voting stock.

     Continuation of Active Trade or Business. Until two years after the
completion of the spin-off, the Company has agreed to continue to conduct its
active trade or business (within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code) as it
was conducted immediately prior to the completion of the spin-off. During such
time, the Company has agreed not to:

     - liquidate, dispose of or otherwise discontinue the conduct of any
       substantial portion of its active trade or business; or

     - dispose of any business or assets that would cause it to be operated in a
       manner inconsistent in any material respect with the business purposes
       for the spin-off as described in the representations made in connection
       with Daisytek's request for the IRS private letter ruling.

     Continuity of Business. Until two years after the completion of the
spin-off, the Company has agreed that it will not voluntarily dissolve or
liquidate; and, except in the ordinary course of business, neither it nor any of
its direct or indirect subsidiaries will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
or agree to dispose of assets (including any shares of capital stock of its
subsidiaries) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 60% of its assets.

     Intracompany Debt. Until two years after the completion of the spin-off,
the Company will not be able to have any indebtedness to Daisytek, other than
payables arising in the ordinary course of business.

     These covenants will not prohibit the Company from implementing or
complying with any transaction permitted by a subsequent IRS private letter
ruling or a tax opinion.

     Other Covenants Regarding Tax Treatment of the Transactions. Daisytek
intends the transfer of assets and liabilities from Daisytek to the Company as
provided by the master separation agreement (the "Contribution") to qualify as a
reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code (a "D Reorganization").
Until two years after the completion of the spin-off, the Company has agreed not
to take, or permit any of its subsidiaries to take, any actions or enter into
any transaction or series of transactions that would be reasonably likely to
jeopardize the tax-free status of the spin-off or the qualification of the
Contribution as a D Reorganization, including any action or transaction that
would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with

                                       12
<PAGE>   16

any representation made in connection with Daisytek's request for the IRS
private letter ruling. The Company has also agreed to take any reasonable
actions necessary for the Contribution and the spin-off to qualify as a D
Reorganization.

     Cooperation on Tax Matters. Daisytek and the Company have agreed to various
procedures with respect to the tax-related covenants described above, and the
Company is required to notify Daisytek if it desires to take any action
prohibited by these covenants. Upon such notification, if Daisytek determines
that such action might jeopardize the tax-free status of the spin-off or the
qualification of the Contribution as a D Reorganization, Daisytek will either
use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a private letter ruling from
the IRS or a tax opinion that would permit the Company to take the desired
action or provide all reasonable cooperation to the Company in connection with
the Company obtaining such an IRS ruling or tax opinion. In either case,
Daisytek has agreed to bear the reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining the
IRS ruling or tax opinion, unless it is determined that the Company's proposed
action will jeopardize the tax-free status of the spin-off or the qualification
of the Contribution as a D Reorganization, in which event the Company will be
responsible for such costs and expenses.

     Indemnification for Tax Liabilities. The Company has generally agreed to
indemnify Daisytek and its affiliates against any and all tax-related losses
incurred by Daisytek in connection with any proposed tax assessment or tax
controversy with respect to the spin-off or the Contribution to the extent
caused by any breach by it of any of its representations, warranties or
covenants. If the Company causes the spin-off to not qualify as a tax-free
distribution, Daisytek would incur federal income tax (which currently would be
imposed at a 35% rate), and possibly state income taxes on the gain inherent in
the shares distributed, which would be based upon the market value of the shares
of the Company at the time of the spin-off. This indemnification does not apply
to actions that Daisytek permits the Company to take as a result of a
determination under the tax-related covenants as described above. Similarly,
Daisytek has agreed to indemnify the Company and its affiliates against any and
all tax-related losses incurred by it in connection with any proposed tax
assessment or tax controversy with respect to the spin-off or the Contribution
to the extent caused by any breach by Daisytek of any of its representations,
warranties or covenants.

     Other Indemnification. The Company has generally agreed to indemnify
Daisytek and its affiliates against all liabilities arising out of any material
untrue statements and omissions in the Company's prospectus and the registration
statement of which it is a part and in any and all registration statements,
information statements and/or other documents filed with the SEC in connection
with the spin-off or otherwise. However, the Company's indemnification of
Daisytek does not apply to information relating to Daisytek. Daisytek has agreed
to indemnify the Company for this information.

     Expenses. In general, the Company agreed to pay substantially all costs and
expenses relating to its initial public offering, including the underwriting
discounts and commissions, and Daisytek has agreed to pay substantially all
costs and expenses relating to the spin-off.

  Tax Matters

     The Company and Daisytek have entered into a tax indemnification and
allocation agreement to govern the allocation of tax liabilities and to set
forth agreements with respect to certain other tax matters.

     Generally, under the Code, the Company ceased to be a member of Daisytek's
consolidated group upon the completion of the spin-off.

     Daisytek generally will pay all taxes attributable to the Company and its
subsidiaries for tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the
effective date of the Company's initial public offering, except to the extent of
any accruals therefor on the books and records of the Company or its
subsidiaries for such taxes under generally accepted accounting principles.
Thereafter, for tax periods or portions thereof during which the Company is a
member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group of Daisytek, the Company
will be apportioned its share of the group's income tax liability based on its
taxable income determined separately from Daisytek's taxable income, and the
Company will pay its calculated taxes to Daisytek, which will then file a
consolidated, combined or unitary return with the appropriate tax authorities.
There may be certain

                                       13
<PAGE>   17

U.S. state or local jurisdictions in which the Company will file separate income
tax returns, not combined or consolidated with Daisytek, for such tax periods.
In that circumstance, the Company would file a tax return with the appropriate
tax authorities, and pay all taxes directly to the tax authority. The Company
will be compensated for tax benefits generated by it before tax deconsolidation
and used by Daisytek's consolidated group. The Company will prepare and file all
tax returns, and pay all income taxes due with respect to all tax returns
required to be filed by it for all tax periods after it ceased to be a member of
Daisytek's consolidated, combined or unitary group.

     Daisytek is responsible for most U.S. tax adjustments related to the
Company for all periods or portions thereof ending on or before the effective
date of the Company's initial public offering. In addition, Daisytek and the
Company have agreed to cooperate in any tax audits, litigation or appeals that
involve, directly or indirectly, periods prior to the time that the Company
ceased to be a member of Daisytek's consolidated group. Daisytek and the Company
have agreed to indemnify each other for tax liabilities resulting from the
failure to cooperate in such audits, litigation or appeals, and for any tax
liability resulting from the failure to maintain adequate records.

     Notwithstanding the tax allocation agreement, for all periods in which
Daisytek owned 80% or more of the Company's capital stock, the Company will be
included in Daisytek's consolidated group for federal income tax purposes. If
Daisytek or other members of the consolidated group fail to make any federal
income tax payments, the Company will be liable for the shortfall since each
member of a consolidated group is liable for the group's entire tax obligation.

     Under the tax indemnification and allocation agreement, Daisytek has agreed
to indemnify the Company against any taxes resulting from the failure of the
spin-off to qualify for tax-free treatment, except that the Company will be
liable for, and will indemnify Daisytek against, any taxes resulting from the
failure of the spin-off to qualify for tax-free treatment if it is the result of
the Company engaging in a "Prohibited Action" or the occurrence of a
"Disqualifying Event." Neither Daisytek nor the Company have the option to
rescind the spin-off if tax liability results.

     A "Prohibited Action" is defined as:

     - if the Company takes any action which is inconsistent with the tax
       treatment of the spin-off as contemplated in the IRS private letter
       ruling; or

     - if, prior to the spin-off, the Company issued shares of stock or took any
       other action that would result in it not being controlled by Daisytek
       within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code.

     A "Disqualifying Event" includes any event involving the direct or indirect
acquisition of the shares of the Company's capital stock after the spin-off
which has the effect of disqualifying the spin-off from tax-free treatment,
whether or not the event is the result of the Company's direct action or within
the Company's control.

  Transaction Management Services Agreement

     Daisytek and the Company have entered into a transaction management
services agreement which sets forth the transaction management services that the
Company provides for Daisytek. Under this agreement, the Company provides a wide
range of transaction management services, including information management,
order fulfillment and distribution, product warehousing, inbound call center
services, product return administration and other services.

     The agreement has an initial term of five years from the completion of the
Company's initial public offering, although either party has the right to
terminate the agreement at any time, without cause. If Daisytek terminates the
agreement without cause, Daisytek must provide at least 180 days' prior notice
and pay the Company a termination fee. If the Company terminates the agreement
without cause, the Company must provide at least 365 days' prior notice and
Daisytek does not have to pay any termination fee. In addition, if there is a
change in control of Daisytek, the Company may terminate the agreement upon 90
days' prior notice and Daisytek does not have to pay the termination fee. During
the term of the agreement, Daisytek pays the
                                       14
<PAGE>   18

Company service fees based upon a percent of Daisytek shipped revenue. Daisytek
and the Company have agreed that these fees are based upon certain assumptions
regarding the nature, cost and scope of the services the Company will be
providing under the agreement. If these assumptions should materially change,
Daisytek and the Company have agreed to negotiate in good faith an adjustment to
the fees payable to the Company under the agreement.

     During the term of the agreement, the Company has agreed not to engage, on
its own behalf, in the business of selling or distributing, on a wholesale
basis, any Daisytek products. This will not restrict it, however, from providing
transaction management services to third parties who may be engaged in the
business of selling or distributing, on a wholesale basis, the same or competing
products.

     As part of the restructuring of the Company's arrangements with IBM, the
Company transferred to Daisytek certain related product inventory, accounts
receivable and accounts payable that it held under its prior agreements. In
consideration of this transfer, the Company received the net book value of these
assets and liabilities of approximately $20 million and reduced its payable to
Daisytek by a corresponding amount. The Company has also entered into
transaction management agreements with Daisytek to provide transaction
management services, on a worldwide basis, in connection with Daisytek's
distribution of various IBM products. Under these agreements, the Company
receives service fees based upon a variable percent of Daisytek's gross profit
arising from its IBM product sales. These agreements are coterminous with the
Company's IBM agreements which, generally, have terms of one to two years,
although IBM may terminate these agreements at any time.

     The Company's product revenue from sales to Daisytek under the Company's
prior agreements with IBM was $10.7 million in fiscal 2000 and service fee
revenues charged by the Company to Daisytek were $12.1 million for fiscal 2000.

  Transition Services Agreement

     Upon completion of the initial public offering, the Company and Daisytek
entered into a transition services agreement. Under this agreement, Daisytek
provides the Company with various services relating to employee payroll and
benefits, use of facilities, and other administrative services. Daisytek
provided the Company with these services until the completion of the spin-off
(the "Transition Period"), except that, with respect to any particular service,
the Company may, upon notice to Daisytek, extend the Transition Period for up to
one year from the completion of the Company's initial public offering.

     The agreement requires the Company to use all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain these transition services from a source other than Daisytek
prior to the conclusion of the Transition Period. If, however, the Company
cannot obtain any transition service from a source other than Daisytek and the
transition service is necessary for the Company to continue to operate its
business, then, the Company may require Daisytek to continue to provide the
transition service for an additional period not to exceed six months.

     Generally, the Company will pay Daisytek for these transition services an
amount equal to the cost historically allocated by Daisytek to the Company's
business, adjusted to reflect any changes in the nature, cost or level of the
services so provided. If the Company requires Daisytek to provide it with any
transition service after the expiration of the Transition Period, the Company
will pay Daisytek the fair market value of these services.

     In addition, as part of the transfer of assets and separation of the
Company from Daisytek, Daisytek has agreed to guaranty and/or join or remain as
an obligor with respect to various Company leases.

  Substitute Stock Options

     In connection with the completion of the spin-off, all outstanding Daisytek
stock options have been adjusted and/or replaced with substitute stock options
to purchase shares of Daisytek common stock and/or Company common stock (the
"Converted Options").

                                       15
<PAGE>   19

     In general, the adjustments to the outstanding Daisytek options has been
established pursuant to a formula designed to ensure that: (1) the aggregate
"intrinsic value" (i.e. the difference between the exercise price of the option
and the market price of the common stock underlying the option) of the Converted
Options will not exceed the intrinsic value of the outstanding Daisytek stock
option which is replaced by such Converted Option immediately prior to the
spin-off, and (2) the ratio of the exercise price of each option to the market
value of the underlying stock immediately before and after the spin-off is
preserved.

     Substantially all of the other terms and conditions of each Converted
Option, including the time or times when, and the manner in which, each option
will be exercisable, the duration of the exercise period, the permitted method
of exercise, settlement and payment, the rules that will apply in the event of
the termination of employment of the employee, the events, if any, that may give
rise to an employee's right to accelerate the vesting or the time or exercise
thereof and the vesting provisions, is the same as those of the replaced
Daisytek stock option, except that option holders who are employed by one
company will be permitted to exercise, and will be subject to all of the terms
and provisions of, options to acquire shares in the other company as if such
holder was an employee of such other company.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     During fiscal year 2000, Chase H&Q and its predecessors, an investment
banking firm of which Mr. Reilly is a Managing Director, performed financial
advisory and investment banking services for the Company and was the lead
managing underwriter for the Company's initial public offering. The Company
presently expects that such firm may continue to provide such services in the
current fiscal year.

                               PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The following line graph displays the cumulative total return to
stockholders of the Company's Common Stock from December 2, 1999 (the
commencement of trading of the Company's Common Stock) to March 31, 2000,
compared to the cumulative total return for the Total Return Index for The
Nasdaq Stock Market (US) and the Russell 2000 Index. The graph assumes a $100
investment in the Company's Common Stock, on December 2, 1999 at the initial
offering price of $17 per share, and in each of the above mentioned indices. The
Russell 2000 Index is an index of companies with market capitalizations similar
to the Company. The Company has been unable to identify a peer group of
companies for comparison because no company has a comparable offering of
services as the Company. The Company's management believes that an index of
companies with similar market capitalizations provides a reasonable basis for
comparing total shareholder returns.

ITEM 2  PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE COMPANY'S 2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

     The Company's 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") was
adopted by the Company's Board of Directors in June 2000 and is subject to
approval by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The following description of the
Purchase Plan is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Purchase
Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix I to the Proxy Statement.

PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The purpose of the Purchase Plan is to provide eligible employees of the
Company and its participating subsidiaries with the continuing opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through participation in a payroll
deduction based employee stock purchase plan designed to operate in compliance
with Section 423 of the Code.

     The Company has reserved 250,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under
the Purchase Plan. These shares may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury
shares or shares purchased in the open market.

     The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Purchase Plan Committee"). The Purchase Plan Committee will consist of two or
more Directors, appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board of
Directors. The Board may, and currently intends, to limit the members of the
Purchase Plan Committee to Directors who are both "non-employee directors," as
defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
"outside directors" as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. The Purchase Plan
Committee will have complete authority to adopt such rules, regulations and
procedures as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the proper administration
of the Purchase Plan. All costs and expenses incurred in administering the
Purchase Plan will be paid by the Company.

     The Purchase Plan Committee is authorized to establish, from time to time,
one or more offering periods for each calendar year, and each participant in the
Purchase Plan may designate periodic payroll deductions from his or her salary
to be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock on each purchase date
(which will be the last business day of each offering period). The purchase
price per share at which Common Stock will be purchased on the participant's
behalf on each purchase date will be determined by the Purchase Plan Committee
for each offering period, but will not be less than 85% of the lower of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the first business day of the applicable
offering period or the fair market value of the Common Stock on the applicable
purchase date.

     The fair market value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date will
be the last sales price per share on such date as reported by NASDAQ or a
successor quotation system.

     Any individual who is employed on a basis under which he or she is
regularly expected to work for at least 20 hours per week for more than five
months per calendar year as an employee of the Company or any designated
subsidiary of the Company and has completed 15 days of employment as of the
first day of any offering period will be eligible to participate in the Purchase
Plan. As of March 31, 2000, approximately 700 employees, including the Company's
executive officers, would have been eligible to participate in the Purchase
Plan.

     The Purchase Plan imposes certain limitations upon a participant's rights
to acquire Common Stock under the Purchase Plan, including the following: (i) no
purchase right may be granted to any individual who owns stock (including stock
purchasable under any outstanding purchase rights and options, whether vested or
unvested) possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of
all classes of stock of the Company and (ii) no purchase right granted to a
participant may permit such individual to purchase Common Stock at a rate
greater than $25,000 worth of such Common Stock (valued at the time such
purchase right is granted) for each calendar year the purchase right remains
outstanding.

     A participant's purchase right will immediately terminate upon the
participant's termination of employment or loss of eligible employee status or
upon his or her withdrawal from participation. No purchase right is assignable
or transferable by an eligible employee.

                                       18
<PAGE>   22

     Participants in the Purchase Plan will have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by his or her purchase right until
such time as the shares are actually purchased on the applicable purchase date.
No adjustment will be made for dividends, distributions or other rights with
respect to any record date during an offering period which is prior to a
purchase date.

     In the event of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iii) the merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or other entity
(if the Company is not the surviving corporation of such merger on
consolidation) or (iv) the acquisition by another person or entity of 80% or
more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock, then, upon the effective
date of any such event, any outstanding offering period under the Purchase Plan
will terminate and such date will be treated as the purchase date and, in lieu
of the issuance of Common Stock to participating eligible employees, there shall
be paid, for each such share of Common Stock, as nearly as reasonably may be
determined, the cash, securities and/or property which a holder of one share of
Common Stock was entitled to receive upon and as of the effective date of such
event.

     The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the Plan or amend the
Plan from time to time; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company (i) increase the number of shares
available for purchase under the Purchase Plan, (ii) change the class of persons
eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan, or (iii) reduce the purchase price
of Common Stock below that set forth in the Purchase Plan.

     The Purchase Plan shall become effective if and when approved by the
stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting. If approved, the first
offering period will be established by the Purchase Plan Committee upon a date
following the date of the Annual Meeting.

     Participation in the Purchase Plan is voluntary and the Company cannot now
determine the amount of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the
participants therein (which include the Company's executive officers) or the
value of any such participation.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following is a summary of the federal income tax consequences to
employees participating in the Purchase Plan and to the Company, based upon
current provisions of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder
and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and does not address
any consequences under any other applicable tax laws. The provisions of the
Code, regulations thereunder and related interpretations are complicated and
their impact in any one case may depend upon the particular circumstances
relating thereto.

     Rights to purchase stock under the Purchase Plan are referred to in the
Code as "options." A participating employee will not recognize income at the
time options are granted to such employee at the commencement of an offering
period or when the employee exercises such options and purchases shares of
Common Stock at the end of an offering period. An employee will be taxed on
amounts withheld from salary under the Purchase Plan as if actually received,
and the Company will be entitled to deduct a corresponding amount.

     If an employee does not dispose of the shares of Common Stock purchased
pursuant to the Purchase Plan until more than two years after the date of grant
of the options and one year after the transfer of the shares to the employee, or
if the employee dies without having disposed of such shares, such employee must
include in gross income as compensation (as ordinary income and not as capital
gain) for the taxable year of disposition or death an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of
disposition or death over the amount paid for the shares, or (ii) the excess of
the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant of the options over the
exercise price. If the amount realized upon such a disposition by way of sale or
exchange of the shares exceeds the purchase price plus the amount, if any,
included in income as compensation, such excess will be capital gain. This
capital gain will be long or short term capital gain depending upon the length
of time the employee has held the stock prior to the date of sale.

                                       19
<PAGE>   23

     The Company will not be entitled to any deduction in respect of options
granted under the Purchase Plan or shares of Common Stock issued and delivered
pursuant to the exercise of such options, if the holding period requirements are
met or the employee dies prior to disposing of the shares acquired upon
exercise.

     If an employee disposes of the shares of Common Stock within two years from
the date of grant of the option or within one year from the date of exercise (an
"Early Disposition"), the employee will recognize ordinary income at the time of
disposition which will equal the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the
shares on the date of exercise over the amount paid for such shares. The Company
may be required to withhold taxes related to such ordinary income from other
payments due the employee. The Company will generally be entitled to a deduction
in an amount equal to such income. The excess, if any, of the amount realized on
disposition of such shares over the fair market value of such shares on the date
of exercise will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the
holding period for the shares. If an employee disposes of such shares for less
than his or her basis in the shares, the difference between the amount realized
and such basis will be a long-term or short-term capital loss, depending upon
the holding period for the shares.

     At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders will be asked to approve
the proposal to adopt the Purchase Plan. The Board of Directors believes that
approval of the Purchase Plan is in the best interest of the Company, its
stockholders and its employees because it will encourage employees to share in
the economic growth and success of the Company.

     The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR adoption of the Company's 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

ITEM 3  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The Company has appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001. Arthur Andersen LLP has
audited the Company's (and its predecessors) financial statements for all fiscal
years since 1997. Ratification of the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the
Company's independent auditors will require the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting. In the event shareholders do not ratify the
appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent auditors, such
appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and the Board of
Directors. Representatives of Arthur Andersen LLP will be present at the Annual
Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they
may desire.

     The Board of Directors of the Company recommends a vote FOR ratification of
Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2001.

SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     The purpose of the PFSweb, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") is to provide employees of PFSweb, Inc. (the "Company") and designated
Subsidiaries an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company
through the purchase of shares of common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company
("Common Stock"). It is intended that the Plan qualify as an "employee stock

is open for the transaction of business.

        (b) "Fair Market Value" means, with respect to the Common Stock as of
any date (i) the closing price of a share of the Common Stock on the principal
exchange on which shares of the Common Stock are then trading, if any, on such
date, or, if shares were not traded on such date, then on the next preceding
trading day during which a sale occurred; or (ii) if the Common Stock is not
traded on an exchange but is quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system,
(1) the last sales price (if the Company's Common Stock is then listed as a
National Market Issue under the NASD National Market System) or (2) the mean
between the closing representative bid and asked prices (in all other cases) for
the Company's Common Stock, in each case, on such date as reported by NASDAQ or
such successor quotation system; or (iii) if the Common Stock is not publicly
traded on an exchange and not quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system,

date, as determined in good faith by the Committee; or (iv) if the Common Stock
is not publicly traded, the fair market value established by the Committee

Period.

<PAGE>   27

SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

     The Plan shall be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Committee"). The Committee shall consist of two or more
Directors, appointed by and holding office at the pleasure of the Board. The
Board may limit the members of the Committee to directors who are both "non-
employee directors," as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and "outside directors," as defined in
Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the limitations set forth in the
preceding sentence, the powers of the Committee may be exercised by the
Compensation Committee or the Stock Option Committee of the Board. Appointment
of Committee members shall be effective upon acceptance of appointment.
Committee members may be removed by the Board at any time and may resign at any
time. Vacancies in the Committee shall be filled by the Board. The Board
reserves the right to serve as the Committee if it so elects, and, in which
event, the term "Committee" shall mean the Board. Any action of the Committee in
administering the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons,
including the Company, its Subsidiaries, employees, persons claiming rights from
or through employees and the stockholders of the Company.

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full and
final authority in its discretion (a) to designate the Subsidiaries whose
employees will participate in the Plan, (b) to determine the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock to be acquired by each Eligible Employee during each
Offering Period, (c) to determine the terms and conditions of each Offering, (d)
to determine the length of each Offering Period and the Commencement Date
thereof, (e) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan, (f) to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and
regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the
Plan and the conduct of each Offering, and (g) to make all other determinations
as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

SECTION 4. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

     (a) Only individuals who are employees of a Participating Company shall be
eligible to acquire Common Stock pursuant to any Offering under the Plan. Except
as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, every Eligible Employee on the Commencement
Date of an Offering shall be eligible to participate in such Offering, provided
such individual remains an Eligible Employee until the Purchase Date.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Eligible
Employee shall be eligible to participate in any Offering if:

        (i) on the Commencement Date, such Eligible Employee would own stock
(together with stock owned by any other person or entity that would be
attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) of
the Company (including, for this purpose, all shares of stock subject to any
outstanding options to purchase such stock, whether or not currently exercisable
and irrespective of whether such options are subject to the favorable tax
treatment of Section 421(a) of the Code) possessing five percent (5%) or more of
the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company
or a Subsidiary; or

        (ii) the Eligible Employee belongs to a class or group of Eligible
Employees which the Committee deems ineligible for participation in any Offering
(as the Committee may determine from time to time), so long as the exclusion of
such class or group of Eligible Employees from participation in an Offering does
not jeopardize the qualification of the Plan under Section 423 of the Code or
other applicable law.

SECTION 5. OFFERINGS

     (a) The Plan shall be implemented by a series of Offerings to all Eligible
Employees, the duration and frequency of which will be specified from time to
time by the Committee.

     (b) Each Offering shall permit each Eligible Employee to purchase on the
Purchase Date shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share determined by
the Committee which shall not be less than the lower of (i) 85% of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the Commencement Date, or (ii) 85% of the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date.
                                       A-2
<PAGE>   28

     (c) No Offering Period pursuant to the Plan shall be for a period greater
than 12 months from the Commencement Date.

     (d) All Eligible Employees participating in an Offering under the Plan
shall have the same rights and privileges, except that the Committee may from
time to time provide for differences in the rights and privileges of Eligible
Employees so long as such differences do not jeopardize the qualification of the
Plan under Section 423 of the Code or violate other applicable law.

SECTION 6. SHARES AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock available for purchase pursuant to all Offerings under
the Plan shall be 250,000 shares, which may be authorized but unissued shares,
treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market.

     (b) If the total number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased on any
Purchase Date when added to the number of shares of Common Stock previously
purchased pursuant to Offerings under the Plan exceeds the number of shares then
available under the Plan, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the
shares available for purchase in such Offering in as nearly a uniform manner as
shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable, and the amounts
received from each Eligible Employee in excess of the amounts applied to
purchase Common Stock shall be refunded to each Eligible Employee.

SECTION 7. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

     In the event that the Committee determines that any stock dividend,
recapitalization, forward split or reverse split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, combination, share exchange or other similar
transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of
Eligible Employees under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as
it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of
Common Stock which may thereafter be available under the Plan, (ii) the number
and kind of shares of Common Stock issuable or to be purchased in respect of any
current Offering, and (iii) the purchase price relating to any purchase of
Common Stock to be acquired in any Offering; provided, however, that no
adjustment shall be made if, or to the extent that, such adjustment would cause
the Plan to violate Section 423 of the Code.

SECTION 8. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

     (a) No Eligible Employee shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire
Common Stock in any Offering under this Plan (which right shall accrue on the
Purchase Date for an Offering Period) if, and to the extent, such accrual, when
aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued under any other
Offering under this Plan during the same calendar year and (ii) rights accrued
under any other employee stock purchase plan (within the meaning of Section 423
of the Code) of the Company or any Subsidiary during the same calendar year,
would cause such Eligible Employee to be able to purchase more than Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of Common Stock or stock of any Subsidiary
(determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such stock on the date or
dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any
time outstanding.

SECTION 9. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, LIQUIDATION, ETC.

     Upon the effective date of any Corporate Transaction (as herein defined),
any outstanding Offering under the Plan will terminate and such date shall be
treated as the Purchase Date, and in lieu of the issuance of Common Stock to
participating Eligible Employees, there shall be paid to such Eligible
Employees, for each such share of Common Stock, as nearly as reasonably may be
determined, the cash, securities and/or property which a holder of one share of
the Common Stock was entitled to receive upon and as of the effective date of
such Corporate Transaction. As used herein, the term "Corporate Transaction"
shall mean (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iii) the merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or entity (if the
Company is not the

                                       A-3
<PAGE>   29

surviving corporation of such merger or consolidation) or (iv) the acquisition
by another person or entity of 80% or more of the Company's than outstanding
voting stock.

SECTION 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     (a) Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as
giving any employee or Eligible Employee any right to be retained in the employ
of the Company or any Subsidiary, and no employee of any Subsidiary which is not
a Participating Company shall have any claim or right to participate in any
Offerings under the Plan.

     (b) No right of an Eligible Employee to purchase Common Stock pursuant to
an Offering under the Plan shall be assigned or transferred by such Eligible
Employee and such rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to an Offering shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Eligible Employee only by the Eligible
Employee.

     (c) No Offering shall confer on any Eligible Employee any of the rights of
a stockholder of the Company unless and until Common Stock is duly issued or
transferred to the Eligible Employee in accordance with the terms of the
Offering.

     (d) This Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act and
any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, including without limitation Rule 16b-3. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the rights
to purchase in any Offering shall be granted and may be exercised, only in such
a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, this Plan and rights granted hereunder shall be
deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and
regulations.

     (e) The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware without giving effect to applicable conflict-of-laws rules.

SECTION 11. EFFECTIVE DATE; AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

     (a) The Plan shall become effective if and when approved by the
stockholders of the Company at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

     (b) The Board of Directors of the Company may terminate the Plan or amend
the Plan from time to time; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of
the Company shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company
(i) increase the number of shares available for purchase pursuant to all
Offerings, (ii) change the class of persons eligible to participate in Offering
under the Plan, or (iii) reduce the purchase price of Common Stock below that
set forth in Section 5(b) herein.

     (c) Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors of the Company, the
Plan shall terminate when all shares available for issuance or purchase under
the Plan have been purchased pursuant to an Offering under the Plan, or the date
of any Corporate Transaction, if earlier.
