Company and of CDW, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to
evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Units; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f)    Additional Acknowledgements. As an inducement to the Company to issue the
Executive Units to Executive and as a condition thereto, Executive hereby
acknowledges and agrees that:
(i)    Neither the issuance of the Executive Units to Executive nor any
provision contained in this Agreement shall entitle Executive to remain in the
employment of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or affect the right of
the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate Executive's employment
at any time; and
(ii)    Except as expressly set forth in the LLC Agreement or as required by
applicable law, the Company shall have no duty or obligation to disclose to
Executive, and Executive shall have no right to be advised of, any material

hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been executed and
delivered, and the Executive Units have been issued hereunder, in connection
with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between the
Company and Executive, and pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Each of the Executive Units granted hereunder is intended to qualify for an
exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, pursuant
to Rule 701 (the "Exemption") and under similar exemptions under applicable
state securities laws. In the event that any provision of the Plan or this
Agreement would cause the Executive Units granted hereunder to not qualify for
the Exemption, Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement shall be
deemed automatically amended to the extent necessary to cause the Executive
Units to qualify for the Exemption.

termination of Executive's services (including service as a Manager, advisor or
consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in the event Executive ceases to be
employed by or provide services (including service as a Manager, advisor or
consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries due to Executive's death or Disability, an additional
portion of the Executive Units, equal to the amount that would vest over a
period of one (1) year, will vest on the date of death or Disability.
(c)    Acceleration of Vesting on Sale of the Company. Immediately prior to a
Sale of the Company, all Executive Units which have not yet become Vested Units
shall immediately vest and become Vested Units, if, and only if, Executive is,

accordance with the Company's or its Subsidiaries' policies) since the date
hereof employed or providing services (including service as a Manager, advisor
or consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701 promulgated under the
Act) to the Company or its Subsidiaries as of such date.
(d)    Cancellation of Executive Units.
(vi)    If Executive's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and the
services Executive provides (including service as a Manager, advisor or
consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the Company and all
of its Subsidiaries terminate for any reason, all Unvested Units shall be
automatically cancelled on the date of termination without any consideration
paid therefor and without further action on the part of the Company or any
holder of any of the Unvested Units.
(vii)    All Vested Units shall also be automatically cancelled without any
consideration paid therefor and without further action on the part of the
Company or any holder of any of the Vested Units if Executive's employment with
the Company and all of its Subsidiaries and the services Executive provides
(including service as a Manager, advisor or consultant as contemplated by and
described in Rule 701) to the Company and all of its Subsidiaries are terminated
for Cause or if Executive violates any agreement between Executive and the
Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to non‑competition, non‑solicitation,
confidentiality or protection of trade secrets (or similar provision regarding
intellectual property).
3.    Repurchase Option.
(a)    Repurchase of Vested Units on Termination of Employment or Services. If
Executive's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and the services
that Executive provides (including service as a Manager, advisor or consultant
as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries terminate for any reason other than Cause (including, without
limitation, as a result of Executive's death or Disability, or as a result of
Executive's retirement or resignation), first the Company and then the
Institutional Investors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase all or any portion of the Vested Units at a price per unit equal to
Fair Market Value of such Executive Unit as of the date of repurchase; provided,
however, if Executive Units are repurchased at the Fair Market Value thereof
pursuant to this Section

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3(a) but Executive violates any agreement between Executive and the Company or
its Subsidiaries with respect to non‑competition, non‑solicitation,
confidentiality or protection of trade secrets (or similar provision regarding
intellectual property), then Executive shall immediately remit a cash payment to
the Company equal to the Fair Market Value of each such Executive Unit as of the
date of repurchase; provided, further, however, that any obligation arising
under the foregoing proviso may be offset against any other amounts due to
Executive by the Company under any promissory note received in consideration of
the repurchase of such Executive Units.
(b)    Repurchase Procedure for the Company. The Company may elect to repurchase
all or any portion of the Executive Units (the "Available Executive Units")
pursuant to Section 3(a) by delivery of written notice (a "Company Repurchase
Notice") to Executive (and any other holder of Executive Units) within 90 days
after the Date of Termination for any Executive Units vested more than six
months and one day prior to the Date of Termination (or in the case of Executive
Units vested less than six months and one day prior to the Date of Termination,
no earlier than six months and one day, and no later than 241 days, after the
Date of Termination) (the "Repurchase Notice Period"). The Company Repurchase
Notice shall set forth the number of Executive Units to be acquired and the time
and place for the closing of the transaction.
(c)    Repurchase Procedure for the Institutional Investors. If for any reason
the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Available Executive Units,
then the Institutional Investors shall be entitled to repurchase all or any
portion of the Available Executive Units that were not repurchased by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(b) above (the "Remaining Executive Units"). As
soon as practicable after the Company has determined that it will not purchase
all of the Available Executive Units, but in any event within 60 days after the
beginning of the Repurchase Notice Period corresponding to such Available
Executive Units, the Company shall give written notice (the "Remaining Executive
Units Notice") to each Institutional Investor setting forth the number of
Remaining Executive Units and the purchase price for the Remaining Executive
Units. The Institutional Investors may elect to purchase all or any portion of
the Remaining Executive Units by giving written notice to the Company within 30
days after the Remaining Executive Units Notice has been delivered to the
Institutional Investors by the Company (but no later than the end of the
Repurchase Notice Period if no Remaining Executive Units Notice is delivered).
If the Institutional Investors elect to purchase an aggregate amount of
Remaining Executive Units in excess of the amount of Remaining Executive Units
specified in the Remaining Executive Units Notice, then the Remaining Executive
Units shall be allocated among the Institutional Investors on a pro rata basis
according to the amount of Common Units owned by each Institutional Investor on
the date of the Remaining Executive Units Notice. Any Institutional Investor may
condition its election to purchase such Remaining Executive Units on the
election of one or more other Institutional Investors to purchase Remaining
Executive Units. As soon as practicable, and in any event within the 30 day
period beginning on the date the Remaining Executive Units Notice is delivered
to the Institutional Investors pursuant to this Section 3(c) (but no later than
the end of the Repurchase Notice Period if no Remaining Executive Units Notice
is delivered), the Company shall deliver a further repurchase notice (the
"Investor Repurchase Notice") to the holders of such Remaining Executive Units
setting forth the number of Remaining Executive Units to be acquired pursuant to
such Institutional Investor election, the aggregate consideration to be paid by
the respective Institutional Investors for such Remaining Executive Units and
the time and place for

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the closing of the transaction. At the time the Company delivers such Investor
Repurchase Notice to the holders of such Remaining Executive Units, the Company
shall also deliver written notice to each Institutional Investor setting forth
the amount of Executive Units such Institutional Investor is entitled to
purchase, the aggregate consideration to be paid therefor, and the time and
place of the closing of the transaction.
(d)    Restrictions on Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Units by the Company
shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Act and in the
Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If any
such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Units hereunder which the
Company is otherwise entitled to make, the time periods provided in this Section
3 shall be suspended, and the Company shall make such repurchases at the
applicable purchase price therefore following the lapse of such restrictions.
(e)    Deemed Repurchase. Upon delivery of the full consideration for the
Executive Units at the closing of a repurchase pursuant to this Section 3
(including delivery of any subordinated promissory note pursuant to Section
3(g)), then from and after such time, the holder of such Executive Units from
whom such securities are to be purchased shall cease to have any rights as a
holder of such securities, and such securities shall be deemed purchased in
accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the purchaser thereof shall
be deemed the owner (of record and beneficially) and holder(s) of such
securities, whether or not the certificate representing such Executive Units has
been delivered as required by this Agreement.
(f)    Revocation of Election. Any election by the Company or the Institutional
Investors (or any of their designees) to purchase Executive Units pursuant to
this Section 3 shall be revocable by such Person (with respect to all or any
portion of the Executive Units elected to be purchased) at any time prior to the
closing of such purchase, without any liability whatsoever to such Person in
respect of the rights and obligations in this Section 3.
(g)    Manner of Payment. If the Company elects to purchase all or any portion
of such Executive Units, including Executive Units held by one or more of
Executive's Transferees, then, within 90 days following the delivery of the
Company Repurchase Notice, the Company shall pay for such Executive Units, at
the Company's option, (i) only in the event the Company's and its Subsidiaries'
debt financing agreements restrict the Company from repurchasing such Executive
Units, with a subordinated promissory note of the Company, which subordinated
promissory note shall (x) bear interest at the prime rate (as published from
time to time in The Wall Street Journal, electronic edition) (compounded
calendar quarterly and which shall be payable annually in cash unless otherwise
prohibited), (y) have all principal payments due promptly following such time as
the Company's debt financing agreements permit the Company to make such
repurchase in cash (but in no event later than the fifth anniversary of the date
of issuance of such promissory note) and prior to the payment of any dividends
or other distributions on any of the Company's equity securities, and (z) be
subordinated on terms and conditions satisfactory to the holders of the
Company's or its Subsidiaries' indebtedness for borrowed money (but only to the
extent required by the terms of such indebtedness), (ii) by certified check or
wire transfer of funds, (iii) by delivery of a number of shares of common stock
of VH Holdings having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate repurchase

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

price for such Executive Units (the "Repurchase Shares"); provided that, in the
event any Repurchase Shares are issued, promptly following the closing of the
repurchase transaction, the Company may direct VH Holdings and VH Holdings may
accordingly redeem, and the holder of such Repurchase Shares shall sell to VH
Holdings, all of the Repurchase Shares for an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate repurchase price for the Executive Units (or the portion thereof
previously assigned to the Repurchase Shares), which amount shall be paid in
cash unless the conditions of clause (i) of this Section 3(g) shall have been
met, in which case, such amount may be paid through the issuance of a
subordinated promissory note of VH Holdings containing and subject to the same
terms as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(g), or (iv) any combination of
the foregoing. If an Institutional Investor elects to purchase all or any
portion of the Remaining Executive Units, such Institutional Investor shall pay
for such Executive Units by certified check or wire transfer of funds.
(h)    Termination of Repurchase Options. The provisions of this Section 3 shall
terminate with respect to all Executive Units upon the first to occur of (i) the
consummation of an IPO or (ii) the consummation of a Sale of the Company, except
if, following such event, Executive's employment with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or the services Executive provides (including service as a Manager,
advisor or consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries are terminated for Cause or Executive
violates any non competition, non solicitation or confidentiality covenants in
favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any new parent entity of CDW or VH
Holdings) by which Executive is bound (whether contained in this Agreement or
any other agreement), then the repurchase rights under this Section 3 shall
again apply to the repurchase of the Executive Units as if the date of such
event were the Date of Termination for purposes of this Section 3; provided,
however, that no such repurchase may occur after any transaction that reduces
the Institutional Investors' Class A Common Units to less than 10% of the Class
A Common Units acquired as of the date hereof.
4.    Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)    Transfer of Executive Units. The holders of Executive Units shall not
Transfer any interest in any Executive Units, except pursuant to (i) a Public
Sale (following an IPO), (ii) a Sale of the Company or in connection with a
Section 351 Transaction, (iii) the provisions of Section 3 above or (iv) the
provisions of Section 4(b) below.
(b)    Certain Permitted Transfers. The restrictions set forth in this Section 4
shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Vested Units made (i) in the
event of the death of such holder of Executive Units, by will or pursuant to
applicable laws of descent and distribution, (ii) to such Person's legal
guardian (in case of any mental incapacity) or (iii) among such Person's Family
Group (each such Transfer, a "Permitted Transfer"); provided that the
restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the
Executive Units after any Transfer pursuant to Section 4(b). At least 15 days
prior (other than in the case of Transfers pursuant clauses (i) or (ii) above,
in which case as promptly as practical following such Transfer) to the Transfer
of Executive Units pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Transferee(s) will deliver
a written notice to the Company, which notice shall disclose in reasonable
detail the identity of such Transferee. Any Transferee of Executive Units
pursuant to a Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) is
herein referred to as a "Permitted Transferee." Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(A) no party hereto

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall avoid the provisions of this Agreement or the LLC Agreement by (i) making
one or more Transfers to one or more Permitted Transferees and then disposing of
all or any portion of such party's interest in any such Permitted Transferee or
(ii) Transferring the securities of any entity holding (directly or indirectly)
Executive Units, and (B) if the Board determines that the Transfer of Executive
Units to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 4(b) would have an
adverse effect on the Company, including by causing the Company to become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Board may
prohibit any such Transfer pursuant to this Section 4(b).
(c)    Termination of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Section 4
shall continue with respect to each Executive Unit until the earlier to occur of
an IPO or a Sale of the Company.
5.    Additional Transfer Restrictions.
(a)    Restrictive Legend. Any certificates representing the Executive Units
shall bear the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN REPURCHASE PROVISIONS, AND CERTAIN OTHER
AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A CLASS B COMMON UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
COMPANY AND EXECUTIVE DATED AS OF ____________, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED
BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT
CHARGE."
(b)    Opinion of Counsel. No holder of Executive Units may Transfer any
Executive Units (except pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Act) without first delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company that registration
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law is not required
in connection with such transfer.
(c)    Holdback. In connection with an IPO, the holders of Executive Units shall
enter into any holdback, lockup or similar agreement requested by the
underwriters managing such IPO; provided, however, that no such holder shall be
required to enter into an agreement that is more restrictive than that of any
other holder.
(d)    Transfer of Executive Units. Prior to the Transfer of any Executive Units
(other than pursuant to a Public Sale or a Sale of the Company or in a Section
351 Transaction) to any Person, the Transferring holder of Executive Units
subject to this Agreement shall cause the prospective Transferee to be bound by
this Agreement and to execute and deliver to the Company and the other
unitholders a counterpart of or joinder to the LLC Agreement as a condition to
the effectiveness of such Transfer. Upon the execution and delivery of such
counterpart or joinder by such Person, subject to the requirements of the LLC
Agreement, such Person's acquired Executive Units shall be "Executive Units"
under this Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.    Sale of the Company.
(a)    Subject to the terms of this Section 6, if the Institutional Investors
(so long as the Institutional Investors collectively continue to hold at least
51% of the outstanding Class A Common Units) (the "Approving Holders") approve a
Sale of the Company (and, in the case of any sale or other company transaction
which requires the approval of the managers of a Delaware manager-managed
limited liability company pursuant to applicable Delaware law, the Board shall
have approved such Sale of the Company) (the "Approved Sale"), and the
Institutional Investors invoke the provisions of this Section 6 by written
notice to the holders of Executive Units, the holders of Executive Units shall
vote for (to the extent permitted to vote thereon), consent to and raise no
objections against such Sale of the Company or the process by which such
transaction was arranged. If the Sale of the Company is structured as a (i)
merger or consolidation, each holder of Executive Units or other equity
securities or interests shall waive any dissenters' rights, appraisal rights or
similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of
Company Units or other equity securities or interests, each holder of Executive
Units or other equity securities or interests shall sell and surrender all of
such holder's Executive Units or other equity securities or interests and rights
to acquire Executive Units or other equity securities or interests on the terms
and conditions approved by the Approving Holders and the Board (to the extent
such approval is required by applicable Delaware law). Each holder of Executive
Units or other equity securities or interests shall take all necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Sale of the
Company, including without limitation, executing a sale contract pursuant to
which each holder of Company Units will: (i) severally (but not jointly), on a
pro rata basis as determined in accordance with Section 6(d) below, give the
same indemnities as the Approving Holders for representations and warranties
regarding the Company and its assets, liabilities and business and for covenants
of the Company (collectively, the "Company Indemnities") and (ii) solely on
behalf of such holder, make such representations, warranties, covenants and give
such indemnities concerning such holder and the Company Units or other equity
securities or interests (if any) to be sold by such holder (collectively, the
"Unitholder Obligations") as may be also applicable to all other parties holders
of Company Units and the Company Units to be sold by such other parties set
forth in any agreement approved by the Investors and the Board (to the extent
required by applicable Delaware law); provided that: (A) the pro rata share of a
holder of Company Units for any amounts payable in connection with any claim
under the Company Indemnities by the purchaser(s) in such Sale of the Company
transaction (any such amount payable, an "Indemnity Loss") shall be determined
in accordance with Section 6(d) below, and (B) if any holder of Company Units
pays for more than such holder's pro rata share (as determined in accordance
with Section 6(d) below) of an Indemnity Loss (such amount, the "Loss
Overpayment"), then each other holder of Company Units shall simultaneously
contribute to such holder an amount equal to such other holder's allocable share
(based upon such holder's pro rata share, as determined in accordance with
Section 6(d) below, of the Indemnity Loss) of such Loss Overpayment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no holder of Company
Units shall be required to agree to be liable for Indemnity Losses in an amount
in the aggregate greater than the total consideration received by such holder in
connection with such Sale of the Company.
(b)    In the event that a Sale of the Company involves a sale of less than all
of the Company Units, each holder of Company Units shall be required to sell
his, her or its Company

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Units in such Sale of the Company, subject to complying with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 6. The number of Company Units which shall
be sold by each holder of Company Units participating in such Sale of the
Company shall be equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Company
Units owned by such holder multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the aggregate number of Company Units being sold by the Institutional
Investors in such sale and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
Company Units owned by the Institutional Investors at the time of such sale.
(c)    Executive's obligation to participate in a Sale of the Company is subject
to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) upon consummation of the
Sale of the Company, Executive shall receive the proceeds from such sale in
accordance with the terms of Section 6(d) below, and if the holders of any class
of Company Units are given an option as to the form of consideration to be
received, all holders of such class of Company Units shall be given the same
option subject to Section 6(d) below; provided that the condition that each
holder is provided with the same option to receive the same form of
consideration as set forth above shall be deemed satisfied even if certain
holders elect to receive, to the exclusion of others, securities of the
acquiring Person or any of its Affiliates or a mix of such securities and cash,
so long as each holder of the same class of Company Units receives the same
amount of value with respect to each per Company Unit of such class, whether in
cash or such securities, as the Board shall determine in good faith after review
of all facts and circumstances it deems relevant, as of the closing of such Sale
of the Company; and (ii) all holders of then currently exercisable rights to
acquire Company Units (including Company Units that become (or would become)
vested and exercisable in connection with a Sale of the Company) shall be given
an opportunity to exercise such rights (including by means of a "cashless
exercise" if provided in the agreement and/or company benefit plan pursuant to
which such rights were granted) prior to the consummation of the Sale of the
Company and participate in such sale as holders of Company Units.
(d)    In the event a Sale of the Company occurs (whether under this Section 6
or otherwise), each holder of Company Units shall receive in exchange for the
Company Units held by such holder an amount equal to such amount that such
holder would have received in respect of such holder's Company Units if the
aggregate consideration (after satisfaction or assumption of all debts and
liabilities) from such Sale of the Company had been distributed by the Company
in a complete liquidation of the Company in accordance with (including, without
limitation, in the order of priority as set forth in) the terms of the LLC
Agreement (and, if less than all of the Company Units of the Company are
included in such transaction, then the allocation of such aggregate net
consideration shall be determined as if the Company Units included in such
transaction were all of the Company Units of the Company then outstanding and
the Company distributed the aggregate consideration in a complete liquidation on
that basis, and, for purposes of this Section 6(d), the terms of the LLC
Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with this assumption) (such amount
is referred to herein as the "Sale Proceeds Amount"). The allocable share of
each holder of Executive Units of any Indemnity Loss shall be an amount equal to
the amount by which such holder's Sale Proceeds Amount would have been reduced
had the aggregate consideration from such Sale of the Company been distributed
by the Company in accordance with the sentence immediately foregoing after
deducting from such aggregate consideration the aggregate amount of such
Indemnity Loss. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6 with
respect to the Unitholder Obligations, each

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

holder of Company Units shall take all necessary or desirable actions in
connection with the distribution of the aggregate consideration from such Sale
of the Company as requested by the Board.
(e)    Each holder of Executive Units shall bear such holder's pro rata share
(based upon the aggregate consideration received by each holder of Company Units
in such sale) of the expenses incurred in connection with a Sale of the Company
(whether under this Section 6 or otherwise) to the extent such expenses are
incurred for the benefit of all holders of Company Units and are not otherwise
paid by the Company or the acquiring party. For purposes of this Section 6(e),
expenses incurred in exercising reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions
in connection with the consummation of the Sale of the Company shall be deemed
to be for the benefit of all holders of Company Units. Expenses incurred by any
holder of Company Units on such holder of Company Units' own behalf shall not be
considered expenses of the transaction and shall be the responsibility of such
holder of Company Units.
(f)    The provisions of this Section 6 shall terminate upon the consummation of
an IPO.
7.    Noncompete, Nonsolicitation and Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges
that in the course of his/her employment with or provision of services
(including service as a Manager, advisor or consultant as contemplated by and
described in Rule 701) to the Company or its Subsidiaries, Executive has and
will become familiar with trade secrets and other confidential information
concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and that Executive's services will
be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its
Subsidiaries. Executive also acknowledges that the Company’s Confidential
Information will retain continuing vitality throughout and beyond the
Noncompetition Period, and that should Executive leave the Company and work for
a Competitor during the Noncompetition Period, it would be highly likely, if not
inevitable, that Executive would use or disclose the Company’s Confidential
Information. For these and other reasons, Executive agrees and acknowledges that
the restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the
Company’s legitimate business interests.
(a)    Noncompete. In consideration for the issuance of the Executive Units and
other good and valuable consideration, Executive agrees not to become employed
by, perform services for, form, develop, or otherwise become associated with (as
an employee, officer, director, manager, partner or consultant or member,
stockholder or investor owning more than a 2% interest or other similar role) a
Competitor (as defined below) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any
time during Executive's employment with or service to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or for twelve months after the termination of Executive's
employment with or service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the
"Noncompetition Period"). For purposes of this Section 7, "Competitor" shall
mean any Person conducting or planning to conduct a business similar to and in
competition with any business conducted or planned by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in any geographic area in which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is conducting such business or plans to conduct such business as of
the date of termination of Executive's employment with or services to the
Company or its Subsidiaries, if Executive, while employed by or providing
services to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, was involved in such
business or had knowledge of the operations of such

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

business or received or was otherwise in possession of Confidential Information
as defined in Section 7(e) regarding such business. For purposes of illustration
only, the parties agree that each of the corporations, other enterprises or
Persons set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a "Competitor" of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, it being acknowledged and agreed
that (x) such list is only representative of the Company’s current Competitors
but not exhaustive and is not intended to include all of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ current Competitors and (y) other Persons could become Competitors
of the Company or its Subsidiaries at a future date.
(b)    Nonsolicitation. Executive further agrees that during the Noncompetition
Period Executive shall not (i) in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit
any CDW Employee or induce or attempt to induce any CDW Employee to terminate or
abandon his or her employment for any purpose whatsoever or (ii) on behalf of
any Competitor, call on, service, solicit or otherwise do business with any CDW
Vendor or CDW Customer.
(c)    Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit Executive from being
(i) a stockholder in a mutual fund or a diversified investment company or (ii)
an owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a
corporation, any securities of which are publicly traded, so long as Executive
has no active participation in the business of such corporation.
(d)    Extension. Because the protection of the Company’s Confidential
Information requires that Executive not perform the activities described in
Sections 7(a) and 7(b) for the full Noncompetition Period, Executive agrees that
the Noncompetition Period provided in Section 7 shall be extended for any time
during which Executive breaches this Agreement, such that Executive does not
perform the proscribed activities for a time period equal to the full amount of
time provided in Section 7.
(e)    Reformation. If, at any time of enforcement of this Section 7, a court or
an arbitrator holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under
circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period,
scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court or
arbitrator shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. This Agreement shall not
authorize a court or arbitrator to increase or broaden any of the restrictions
in this Section 7.
(f)    Confidentiality. Other than as required in the ordinary course of
Executive's employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries, and except as
specifically authorized by the Board or Executive's direct supervisor, Executive
shall not at any time make use of or disclose, directly or indirectly, any (i)
trade secret or other confidential or secret information of the Company or of
any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) other technical, business, proprietary or
financial information of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries not available
to the public generally or to Competitors ("Confidential Information"), except
to the extent that such Confidential Information (a) becomes a matter of public
record or is published in a newspaper, magazine or other periodical or on
electronic or other media available to the general public, other than as a
result of any act or omission by Executive or (b) is required to be disclosed by
any law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory commission, department
or agency, provided that Executive gives prompt notice of such requirement to
the Company to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order.
Promptly following

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the termination of Executive's employment or service (including service as a
manager, advisor or consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701)
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Executive shall surrender to the
Company all records, memoranda, notes, plans, reports, computer tapes and
software and other documents and data which constitute Confidential Information
which Executive may then possess or have under his/her control (together with
all copies thereof).
(g)    Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this
Section 7 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any obligation of
Executive under the terms of any employment or other agreement with the Company
or any Subsidiary, and in consideration of (i) employment by the Company or its
Subsidiaries or retention to provide services (including service as a manager,
advisor or consultant as contemplated by and described in Rule 701) to the
Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration
as set forth in this Agreement. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges
that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 do not preclude Executive from
earning a livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Exeuctive's
ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive acknowledges (i) that the
business of the Company or its Subsidiaries will be conducted throughout the
United States, (ii) notwithstanding the state of incorporation or principal
office of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective executives
or employees (including Executive), it is expected that the Company or its
Subsidiaries will have business activities and have valuable business
relationships within its industry throughout the United States, and (iii) as
part of Executive's responsibilities, Executive will be conducting business
throughout the United States in furtherance of the Company's business and its
relationships. Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the
Company and its Subsidiaries of the non-enforcement of this Section 7 outweighs
any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise.
Executive acknowledges that Executive has carefully read this Agreement and has
given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this
Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and
proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company,
its Subsidiaries and Affiliates now existing or to be developed in the future.
Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restraint
imposed by this Agreement is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time
period and geographical scope.

beneficiaries hereof) shall be entitled to enforce their respective rights under

provision of this Agreement, and to exercise all other rights existing in their
favor. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be

hereof) may, in their sole discretion, apply to any court of law or equity of
