involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b),
such person (the &#147;<B>indemnified party</B>&#148;) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity
may be sought (the &#147;<B>indemnifying party</B>&#148;) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i)&nbsp;the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (ii)&nbsp;the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the

It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be

parties indemnified pursuant to Section&nbsp;7(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section&nbsp;7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all

such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i)&nbsp;in such proportion

the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with
the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company

a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the

Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section&nbsp;7 are not

specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of January&nbsp;15,
1997 (herein called &#147;Indenture&#148;), duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Bank Of New
York Mellon (as successor to Bank of Montreal Trust Company) (herein called the &#147;Trustee&#148;), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee,
the Company and the Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series,
which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different
redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds
(if any) and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series
designated as the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2021 of the Company, (the &#147;Notes&#148;) initially limited in
aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company
shall pay interest on overdue principal but shall not pay interest on overdue installments of
interest. If a payment date is not a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at
that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indenture contains provisions that provide that, without prior notice to any Holders, the
Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
all series affected by such supplemental indenture (all such series voting as one class), and the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series
affected thereby (all such series voting as one class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive
future compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities of such
series provided that, without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each series affected
thereby an amendment or waiver, including a waiver of past defaults, may not: (i)&nbsp;extend the
stated maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment of interest
on such Holder&#146;s Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon
(including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or any premium payable with respect
thereto, or adversely affect the rights of such Holder under any mandatory redemption or repurchase
provision or any right of redemption or repurchase at the option of such Holder, or reduce the
amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon
an acceleration of the maturity or the amount

different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public
offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms,

Default of the Securities, defeasance of the Securities and amendment of the Indenture, if any

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a &#147;safe harbor&#148; for forward-looking
statements. This press release includes forward-looking statements, including statements
addressing future financial results. These statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements
for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: industry conditions, the company&#146;s
implementation of its new global financial system and the company&#146;s planned implementation of its
new enterprise resource planning system, changes in product supply, pricing and customer demand,
competition, other vagaries in the global components and global ECS markets, changes in
relationships with key suppliers, increased profit margin pressure, the effects of additional
actions taken to become more efficient or lower costs, the company&#146;s ability to generate additional
cash flow and the other risks described from time to time in the company&#146;s reports to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (including the company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q). Forward-looking statements are those statements, which are not
statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by
forward-looking words such as &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148;
&#147;believes,&#148; &#147;seeks,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148; and similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they
are made. The company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any of the
forward-looking statements.
