and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the

relating to the application of Federal or state securities laws or the laws,
rules or regulations of any jurisdiction outside the United States, as it may
deem necessary or advisable.
(b) Committee Discretion Binding. Unless otherwise expressly provided in
the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions
under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole
discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all Persons, including Ingram Micro, any Affiliate,
any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, any shareholder and any
Employee.
SECTION 4. Shares Available for Awards.
(a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b)
and 4(c), the number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under
the Plan and all Sub-Plans shall be 20,000,000, plus Shares authorized for
issuance and not issued under the Prior Plans. If, after the effective date of
the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan or to which such
an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award is settled for cash or
otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Shares, then the
Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, or the number of
Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares with respect to
which Awards may be granted, to the extent of any such settlement, forfeiture,
termination or cancellation, shall, in the calendar year in which such
settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation occurs, again become Shares
with respect to which Awards may be granted unless any dividends have been paid
thereon prior to such settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in Section
4(b), (i) no Employee of Ingram Micro may receive Awards under the Plan in any
calendar year that relate to more than 2,000,000 Shares and (ii) no more than
8,000,000 Shares may be issued under the Plan in connection with Awards other
than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; and (iii) no more than 1,000,000
Shares may be issued under the Plan in connection with Awards other than Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights that contain either (A) no restrictions, (B)
restrictions of less than one year relating to Performance Awards, or (C)
restrictions based solely on continuous employment or services of less than
three years (except, in any such cases where termination of employment occurs by
reason of death, Retirement, or Disability, or where the Shares are granted in
lieu of earned compensation).
(b) Adjustments. In the event that the Committee determines that any
dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split,
-3-
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of Ingram
Micro, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of Ingram Micro, or other similar corporate transaction or event
affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the
Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of
the number of Shares of Ingram Micro (or number and kind of other securities or
property) with respect to which Awards may thereafter be granted, the number of
Shares or other securities of Ingram Micro (or number and kind of other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and the grant or exercise
price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a
cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, in each case, that
except to the extent deemed desirable by the Committee, no such adjustment of
Awards (i) of Incentive Stock Options shall be authorized to the extent that
such authority would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, as
from time to time amended, or (ii) with respect to any Award would be
inconsistent with the Plan's meeting the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code, as from time to time amended.
(c) Substitute Awards. Any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not,
except in the case of Shares with respect to which Substitute Awards are granted
to Employees who are officers or directors of Ingram Micro for purposes of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or any successor section thereto, be counted
against the Shares available for Awards under the Plan.
(d) Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any Shares delivered
pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and
unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

Non-Qualified Stock Options, or to grant both types of options. In the case of
Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be
subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the
Code, as from time to time amended, and any regulations implementing such
statute.

Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant.

to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter.
(d) Payment. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an
Option until payment in full of the option price therefore is received by Ingram
Micro. Such payment may be made: in cash; in Shares already owned for at least
six months by a Participant (the value of such Shares shall be their Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise); by a combination of cash and such Shares; if
approved by the Committee, in accordance with a cashless exercise program under
which either, if so instructed by a Participant, Shares may be issued directly
to such Participant's broker or dealer upon receipt of the purchase price in
cash from the broker or dealer, or Shares may be issued by Ingram Micro to such
Participant's broker or dealer in consideration of such broker's or dealer's
irrevocable commitment to pay to Ingram Micro that portion of the proceeds from
the sale of such Shares that is equal to the exercise price of the Option(s)
relating to such Shares; or in such other manner as permitted by the Committee
at the time of grant or thereafter.

the exercise thereof; provided, however, that except in connection with (i)
Substitute Awards and (ii) adjustment of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights
pursuant to Section 4(b), the per share grant price of a Stock Appreciation
Right shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with another Award, in
addition to another Award, or freestanding and unrelated to another Award. Stock
Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with or in addition to an Award may be
granted either at the same time as the Award or at a later time. Stock

applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine, at or after the grant
of a Stock Appreciation Right, the term, methods of exercise, methods and form
of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation
Right. Any such determination by the Committee may be changed by the Committee
from time to time and may govern the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights
granted or exercised prior to such determination as well as Stock Appreciation
Rights granted or exercised thereafter. The Committee may impose such conditions
or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem
appropriate.

Participant shall not be entitled and, by applying for or accepting
the grant of any Non-Qualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement, by
way of compensation for loss of office or damages for breach of
contract or otherwise howsoever, to any sum or other benefit to

the termination of such employment or service.
(iii) Disability. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise
provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's
employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by

and Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Participant shall continue to
vest pursuant to the vesting schedule in effect on the date of Disability
and such Participant shall have the right to exercise such Non-Qualified
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right through the one year period
following the last vesting date, but in no event shall such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right be exercisable later than the date the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been for the termination
of such employment or service. If a Participant dies while under a
Disability, such Participant's rights with respect to such Option or Stock
Appreciation Right shall be determined under Clause (ii) above.

provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's

a date earlier than that set forth above, that an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted to a Participant may terminate at a date later
than that set forth above, provided such date shall not be beyond the date
the Option or Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been
for the termination of a Participant's employment or service, and that an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right may become immediately exercisable when
it finds that such acceleration would be in the best interests of Ingram
Micro.
(b) Incentive Stock Options and Related Stock Appreciation Rights.
(i) Termination of Employment or Service.
(A) Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or
as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's
employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is
terminated for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, or
Cause, such Participant's right to exercise any Incentive Stock Option
or related Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and such Option
or related Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, on the earlier of
(x) the ninetieth day (or, if later, on the Extended Date, in which
case such Option shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option)
following such termination of employment or service or (y) the date
such Option or related Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had
it not been for the termination of employment or services. A
Participant shall have the right to exercise such Option or related
Stock Appreciation Right prior to such expiration to the extent it was
exercisable at the date of such termination of employment or service
and shall not have been exercised.
(B) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section
11(b)(i)(A), in respect of a Participant employed outside the United
States, such Participant's right to exercise any Incentive Stock
Option and related Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and such

related Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been
for the Notice/Termination. A
-7-
Participant shall have the right to exercise such Option and related
Stock Appreciation Right prior to such expiration to the extent it was
exercisable at the date of Notice/Termination and shall not have been
exercised. Any such Participant shall not be entitled, and by applying
for or accepting the grant of any Incentive Stock Option, whether or
not in conjunction with a Stock Appreciation Right, shall be deemed
irrevocably to have waived any entitlement, by way of compensation for
loss of office or damages for breach of contract or otherwise
howsoever to any sum or other benefit to compensate for the loss of
any rights under the Plan.
(C) If a Participant's employment with Ingram Micro or its
Affiliates is terminated for Cause, all Incentive Stock Options and
Related Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Participant shall
expire and terminate on the date of such termination.
(ii) Death, Disability or Retirement. Except as the Committee may at
any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if
a Participant's employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates
is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, such
Participant or his Successors (if employment or service is terminated by
death) shall have the right to exercise any exercisable Incentive Stock
Option or related Stock Appreciation Right during the 90 day period
following such termination of employment or service, but in no event shall
such option or right be exercisable later than the date the Incentive Stock
Option or related Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not
been for the termination of such employment or services. To the extent such
Incentive Stock Option or related Stock Appreciation Right is not exercised
prior to the termination of such 90 day period, the unexercised balance of
such Option automatically will be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option, and
such Option and related Stock Appreciation Right will vest and be
exercisable as provided in Section 11(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof, as the
case may be, but in no event shall such Option or related Stock
Appreciation Right be exercisable later than the date the Option or related
Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been for the
termination of such employment or service, provided that in the event that
a Participant dies in such 90-day period the Option will continue to be an
Incentive Stock Option to the extent provided by Section 421 or Section 422
of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder.

foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide at any time that
an Option and related Stock Appreciation Right granted to a Participant may
vest at a date earlier than that set forth above, that an Option and
related Stock Appreciation Right granted to a Participant may terminate at
a date later than that set forth above, provided such date shall not be
beyond the date the Option and related Stock Appreciation Right would have
expired had it not been for the termination of such Participant's
employment or service, and that an Option and related Stock Appreciation
Right may become immediately exercisable when it finds that such
acceleration would be in the best interests of Ingram Micro.

Stock-Based Awards.
(i) Termination of Employment or Service.
(A) Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or
as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's
employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is
terminated for any reason other than death, Disability, or Retirement,
all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be
forfeited by such Participant and reacquired by Ingram Micro at the
price (if any) paid by such Participant for such Restricted Stock and
such Participant's rights to Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards (collectively, "Designated
Awards") shall terminate and such Designated Awards shall expire. In
cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests
of Ingram Micro, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining
restrictions with respect to such Participant's shares of Restricted
Stock or cause any Designated Awards to be fully or partially vested.
Any time spent by a Participant in the status of "leave without pay"
shall extend the period otherwise required for purposes of determining
the extent to which any such Award or portion thereof has vested or
otherwise become exercisable or nonforfeitable.
(B) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11(c)(i)(A), in respect
of a Participant employed outside the United States, except to the
extent (if any) provided in the Plan in the case of termination of
such
-8-
Participant's employment by reason of death, Disability, or
Retirement, any rights of such Participant relating to Restricted
Stock and any Designated Awards shall lapse and no longer be capable
of exercise at the date of Notice/Termination. Any such Participant
shall not be entitled and, by applying for or accepting any such Award
or accepting the same he shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived
any entitlement, by way of compensation for loss of office or damages
for breach of contract or otherwise howsoever, to any sum or other
benefit to compensate for the loss of any rights under the Plan.
(ii) Death. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide
or as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's employment
or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by reason of
death all shares of Restricted Stock and all Designated Awards held by such
Participant shall be immediately vested and any applicable restrictions
thereon shall immediately be terminated.
(iii) Disability. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise
provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's
employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by
reason of Disability, all shares of Restricted Stock and all Designated
Awards held by such Participant shall continue to vest pursuant to the
vesting schedule in effect on the date of Disability. Such Participant
shall have the right to exercise any such Designated Award through the one
year period following the last vesting date, but in no event shall such
Designated Award be exercisable later than the date the Designated Award
would have expired had it not been for the termination of such employment
or service. If a Participant dies while under a Disability, such
Participant's rights with respect to such Designated Award shall be
determined under Clause (ii) above.
(iv) Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise
provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if a Participant's
employment or service with Ingram Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by
reason of Retirement, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to
restriction shall be forfeited by such Participant and reacquired by Ingram
Micro at the price, if any, paid by such Participant for such Restricted
Stock, and such Participant shall have the right to exercise any Designated
Awards exercisable on the Retirement date during the five year period
following such termination of employment or service, but in no event shall
such Designated Award be exercisable later than the date the Designated
Award would have expired had it not been for the termination of such
employment or service.
(d) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, for purposes hereof
any termination of a Participant's employment or service for any reason shall
occur on the date such Participant ceases to perform services for Ingram Micro
or any Affiliate without regard to whether such Participant continues thereafter
to receive any compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu
of notice of termination or, with respect to a member of the Board who is not
also an employee of Ingram Micro or any Affiliate, the date such Participant is
no longer a member of the Board.
SECTION 12. Merger. In the event of a merger of Ingram Micro with or into
another corporation, each outstanding Award may be assumed or an equivalent
award may be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary
of such successor corporation. If, in such event, an Award is not assumed or
substituted, the Award shall terminate as of the date of the closing of the
merger. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award shall be considered
assumed if, following the merger, the Award confers the right to purchase or
receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger,
the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective
date of the transaction (and if the holders are offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares). If such consideration received in the merger is not
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee
may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share
subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Shares in the merger.
SECTION 13. Amendment and Termination.
(a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board may terminate or discontinue the Plan
at any time and the Board or the Committee may amend or alter the Plan or any
portion thereof at any time; provided that no such amendment, alteration,
discontinuation or termination shall be made without shareholder approval if
such approval is necessary
-9-
to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement or to comply with the listing
or other requirements of any relevant exchange, including for these purposes any
approval requirement which is a prerequisite for exemptive relief from Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, for which or with which
the Board or the Committee deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply;
provided, however, that any amendment to the Plan shall be submitted to Ingram
Micro's shareowners for approval not later than the earliest annual meeting for
which the record date is after the date of such Board action if such amendment
would:
(i) materially increase the number of Shares reserved for issuance
and delivery under Section 4(a) of the Plan;
(ii) increase the per-person annual limits under Section 4(a) of the
Plan;
(iii) increase the number of Shares that may be issued and delivered
under the Plan in connection with awards other than Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights under Section 4(a) of the Plan;
(iv) except to the extent provided in Section 4(b), increase the
number of Shares which may be issued in connection with Awards described in
Section 4(a)(iii) of the Plan;
(v) permit unrestricted Shares to be granted other than in lieu of
such payments under the Plan or other incentive plans and programs of
Ingram Micro and its Affiliates;
(vi) amend or replace previously granted Options in a transaction
that constitutes a "repricing," as such term is used in Instruction 3 to
Item 402(b)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission; or
(vii) amend any of the terms and conditions of this Section 13(a).
(b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable
law, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of,
or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore
granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver,
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination
that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or
beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be
effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or
beneficiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not waive, shorten
or terminate any restriction period imposed on Awards other than Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights except (i) in the event of death, Retirement or
Disability of the Participant, holder or beneficiary of such Award or (ii) upon
a change of control of Ingram Micro, as determined by the Committee.
(c) Cancellation. Any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to
be canceled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the
holder of such canceled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such
canceled Award.
SECTION 14. General Provisions.
(a) Dividend Equivalents. In the sole and complete discretion of the
Committee, an Award, whether made as an Other Stock-Based Award under Section 10
or as an Award granted pursuant to Sections 6 through 9 hereof, may provide a
Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, Shares,
other securities or other property on a current or deferred basis.
(b) Nontransferability.
(i) Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, no Award shall be
assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or
encumbered by a Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
(ii) Notwithstanding subsection (i) above, the Committee may determine
that an Award may be transferred by a Participant to one or more members of
a Participant's immediate family, to a partnership of which the only
partners are members of a Participant's immediate family, or to a trust
established by a Participant for the benefit of one or more members of a
Participant's immediate family. For this purpose, immediate family means a
Participant's spouse, parents, children, grandchildren and the spouses of
such parents, children and grandchildren. A transferee described in this
subsection (ii) may not further transfer an Award. A trust described in
this subsection (ii) may not be amended to benefit any Person other than a
member of a Participant's immediate family. An Award transferred pursuant
to this subsection shall remain subject to the provisions of the Plan,
including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 11 relating to the
effect on the
-10-
Award of the death, Retirement or termination of employment of a
Participant, and shall be subject to such other rules as the Committee
shall determine.
(c) No Rights to Awards. No Employee, Participant or other Person shall
have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries
of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect
to each recipient.
(d) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of
Ingram Micro or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or
the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules,
regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange upon which
such Shares or other securities are then listed and any applicable Federal,
state or foreign laws or rules or regulations, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.
(e) Withholding. A Participant may be required to pay to Ingram Micro or
any Affiliate, and Ingram Micro or any Affiliate shall have the right and is
hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer
made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount
owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other
Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an
Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan
and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of Ingram Micro
or such Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The
Committee may provide for additional cash payments to holders of Awards to
defray or offset any tax arising from any such grant, lapse, vesting, or
exercise of any Award.
(f) Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement which shall be delivered to a Participant and shall specify the terms
and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto.
(g) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the
Plan shall prevent Ingram Micro or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in
effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the
grant of options, restricted stock, Shares and other types of Awards provided
for hereunder (subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required),
and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases.
(h) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed
as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of
Ingram Micro or any Affiliate. Further, Ingram Micro or an Affiliate may at any
time dismiss a Participant from employment or service, free from any liability
or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or
in any Award Agreement.
(i) Rights as a Shareowner. Subject to the provisions of the applicable
Award, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have any
rights as a shareowner with respect to any Shares to be issued under the Plan
until he or she has become the registered holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the
applicable Award shall specify if and to what extent a Participant shall not be
entitled to the rights of a shareowner in respect of such Restricted Stock.
(j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
(k) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes
or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as
to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law
deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or
deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially
altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken
as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any
such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
(l) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares
or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it
determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other
consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, whether domestic
or foreign, or entitle Ingram Micro to recover any amounts under Section 16(b)
of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to Ingram Micro by a
-11-
Participant in connection therewith shall be promptly refunded to the relevant
Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell
securities of Ingram Micro, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and
until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer,
if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Federal
securities laws and any other laws, whether domestic or foreign, to which such
offer, if made, would be subject.
(m) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create
or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between Ingram Micro or any Affiliate and a Participant or any
other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments
from Ingram Micro or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no
greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Ingram Micro or any
Affiliate.
(n) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine
whether cash or other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred
in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights
thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.
(o) Transfer Restrictions. Shares acquired hereunder may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except as provided in
the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.
(p) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the
Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be
deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of
the Plan or any provision thereof.
(q) Sub-Plans. Subject to the terms hereof, the Committee may from time to
time adopt one or more Sub-Plans and grant Awards thereunder as it shall deem
necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion in order that Awards may comply
with the laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction; provided, however, that
neither the terms of any Sub-Plan nor Awards thereunder shall be inconsistent
with the Plan.
SECTION 15. Term of the Plan.
(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of May 7, 2003, subject
to approval by the shareowners of Ingram Micro. Awards may be granted hereunder
prior to such shareowner approval subject in all cases, however, to such
approval.
(b) Expiration Date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after May 6,
2013. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award
Agreement, any Award granted hereunder may, and the authority of the Board or
the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any
such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award shall,
continue after the authority for grant of new Awards hereunder has been
exhausted.
