REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 8th day of June, 2009 by and between WM COFFMAN LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware having its principal office at 445 Broadhollow Road, Melville, New York 11747 (the Borrower”) and RICHARD HOROWITZ, an individual residing at 90 Wheatley Road, Old Westbury, New York 11568 (the “Principal”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

The Borrower has applied to PNC Bank National Association, a national bank (the “Agent”) for loans in aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000.00 under a Revolving Credit Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 8, 2009 among the Borrower, the Agent and the various lenders party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”); and

The Principal is a substantial shareholder of P&F Industries, Inc., which is the indirect owner of the Borrower.

In order to induce the lenders and the Agent to enter into the Loan Agreement, Borrower caused Principal to apply to and enter into letter of credit documentation with New York Commercial Bank (the “Bank”) to issue two standby letters of credit, each in the amount of $145,000 naming the Agent as beneficiary (the “Letters of Credit”).

In order to cause Principal to enter into such documentation with Bank and thereby arrange for the issuance of the Letters of Credit and because of the direct benefit to Borrower related to the issuance of the Letters of Credit, Borrower has agreed to enter into this Agreement to provide for the repayment to Principal of any payments made by Principal to Bank pursuant to the letter of credit documentation arising out of or by reason of draws under the Letters of Credit.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the Borrower and the Principal hereby agree as follows:
