construction products and electrical and industrial maintenance, repair and operating supplies, commonly referred to

more than 24,000 suppliers utilizing a highly automated, proprietary electronic procurement and inventory
replenishment system. Our diverse customer base includes a wide variety of industrial companies; contractors for
industrial, commercial and residential projects; utility companies; and commercial, institutional and governmental
customers. Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 14% of our sales in 2005. Our leading market
positions, experienced workforce, extensive geographic reach, broad product and service offerings and acquisition
