<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On February&nbsp;22, 2005, CDW Logistics, Inc. (&#147;CDW Logistics&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDW
Corporation, entered into an Industrial Lease (the &#147;Lease Agreement&#148;) with DP Industrial, LLC (the
&#147;Landlord&#148;). Pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, Landlord has agreed to construct a
warehouse and distribution center containing approximately 513,240 square feet for CDW Logistics on
an approximately 25 acre site in North Las Vegas, Nevada (the &#147;Leased Premises&#148;). The Lease
Agreement requires that the Landlord deliver the Leased Premises to CDW Logistics by September&nbsp;26,
2005, subject to extension for certain unavoidable and/or tenant-caused delays. If the Leased
Premises are not delivered to CDW Logistics by February&nbsp;10, 2006 (which date is also subject to
extension for certain unavoidable and/or tenant-caused delays), CDW Logistics has the right to
terminate the Lease Agreement. Costs relating to the construction of the Leased Premises are
generally the responsibility of the Landlord, with the Lease Agreement providing for certain costs
to be borne by CDW Logistics.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Lease Agreement provides for an initial lease term (the &#147;Initial Term&#148;) of 15&nbsp;years commencing
on the date on which the Leased Premises are substantially completed by the Landlord. Following
the Initial Term, the Lease Agreement provides CDW Logistics with the option to renew the lease for
up to four consecutive renewal terms of five years each during which the base rent will be 95% of
then-prevailing market rents.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The base rent per month to be paid by CDW Logistics under the Lease Agreement during the Initial
Term is as follows:

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In addition to the base rent, the Lease Agreement requires CDW Logistics to pay certain operating
costs and taxes relating to the Leased Premises, which are estimated to be $0.054 per square foot
per month during the first year of the Initial Term.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Among other items, the Lease Agreement grants CDW Logistics the option to purchase the real
property on which the Leased Premises are located, including all buildings and improvements
thereon, for a purchase price of $29,500,000 at any time during the first two years following the
execution of the Lease Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">CDW Corporation has guaranteed all of CDW Logistics&#146; obligations under the Lease Agreement,
including its obligation to pay the base rent, pursuant to a separate guaranty agreement.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>CDW Announces New Distribution Center to Expand Capacity</B><BR>
<I>State-of-the-art Nevada facility slated to open by year end</I>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">VERNON HILLS, Ill. &#151;  February&nbsp;23, 2005 &#150; CDW Corporation (NASDAQ: CDWC), a leading provider
of technology products and services to business, government, and education, today announced the
signing of a lease for a 513,240 square-foot distribution center to be constructed in North Las
Vegas, Nevada. The company expects the new facility to be completed and operational by year end.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The new facility will predominantly serve customers located in the Western United States and
complements CDW&#146;s existing 450,000 square-foot Vernon Hills, Ill. distribution center, which is
nearing capacity following two expansions to its current size. Capital expenditures for the new
distribution center are expected to be between $30 and $40&nbsp;million in 2005 for machinery, equipment
and leasehold improvements. CDW expects to incur between $5 and $6&nbsp;million of operating and
start-up costs related to the facility, primarily in the third and fourth quarters of 2005.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;This is an important milestone for CDW. The growth of our business has created an opportunity for
us to expand our operations geographically and enhance CDW&#146;s superior customer service,&#148; said Doug
Eckrote, senior vice president of purchasing and operations, CDW. &#147;The speed and accuracy of our
distribution systems are a key competitive advantage for us. Our new facility&#146;s operations will
allow us to improve efficiency and productivity, while enhancing our ability to respond with a
sense of urgency to our customers&#146; IT needs.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Under current plans, CDW&#146;s North Las Vegas distribution facility will feature a product
configuration center in a clean-room type setting. At approximately 25,000 square feet &#150; more than
three times the size of the company&#146;s existing Enterprise Configuration Center in Vernon Hills &#150;
the center will offer expanded capability for CDW technicians to configure products to customers&#146;
specifications.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">To foster the company&#146;s renowned &#147;coworker-first&#148; corporate culture at the new facility, CDW plans
to transfer about 30 experienced coworkers to Nevada from Illinois on a permanent basis. Including
these experienced coworkers, CDW will initially have 170 to 180 coworkers at the Nevada
distribution center. The company plans to replace those coworkers transferred from its Vernon
Hills facility.
