Rabbi Trust Agreement










































This rabbi trust agreement is based on the IRS model rabbi trust provisions contained in Revenue Procedure 92-64.  Provisions from the IRS model rabbi trust have been selected which are frequently chosen by many if not most of Wells Fargo rabbi trust clients.  Additional provisions have been added to reflect Wells Fargo operating procedures and administrative requirements.  A Company should carefully review the trust agreement with its legal counsel to determine if it is appropriate for its particular situation.  Wells Fargo does not provide legal advice and makes no representations concerning the tax consequences of a Company’s execution of this Agreement.

Tech Data Deferred Compensation Plan
TRUST AGREEMENT


This Agreement, made and entered into as of February 1, 2015 by and between Tech Data Corporation (the “Company”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., (the "Trustee"),


WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, Company has adopted the non-qualified deferred compensation Plan(s) titled Tech Data Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”);


WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the terms of such Plan with respect to the individuals participating in such Plan; and 


WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish or has established a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") and wishes to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company’s Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan(s);


WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan(s) as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;


WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plan(s);


NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:


ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST


Section 1.1    Company hereby deposits with Trustee in trust $0, which shall become the principal of the Trust, along with assets transferred from the prior trustee, if any, all to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.


Section 1.2    The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable by Company.


Section 1.3    The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part 1, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.  However, Trustee does not warrant and shall not be liable for any tax consequences associated with the Trust or participation in the Plan.


Section 1.4    The principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general creditors as herein set forth.  Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust.  Any rights created under the Plan(s) and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against Company.  Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3.1 herein.


Section 1.5    Company, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property acceptable to the Trustee in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.  Neither Trustee nor any Plan participant or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.


Section 1.6    The Trustee agrees to accept contributions that are paid to it by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.  Such contributions shall be in cash or in such other form that may be acceptable to the Trustee.  The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or collect contributions under the Plan(s) and shall have no responsibility for any property until it is received and accepted by the Trustee.  The Company shall have the sole duty and responsibility for the determination of the accuracy or sufficiency of the contributions to be made under the Plan(s), the transmittal of the same to the Trustee and compliance with any statute, regulation or rule applicable to contributions.


ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES


Section 2.1    Company shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plan(s)), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts.  


Please select either (a) or (b) to complete this section 2.1:


		
	[X]
	(a) The Trustee shall remit such payment to Company and Company shall make such payments to the Plan participants and beneficiaries.  Company shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities. Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from any and all liability to which the Trustee may become subject due to Company’s failure to properly withhold and/or remit amounts due or to pay benefits to participants in connection with the Trust.




Or


		
	[  ]
	(b) The Trustee shall make payments to the Plan Participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule.  The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of federal and state taxes (other than FICA, FUTA or local taxes) that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may direct the Trustee with respect to the state and federal income tax withholding on such payments, and must direct the Trustee if any tax withholding is required on a payment subject to state/local income taxes in a state/locality other than the state/locality in which the participant currently resides (“Non-resident taxes”).  If applicable, Company shall direct the Trustee to remit any FICA, FUTA or local taxes with respect to the benefit payments to Company and Company shall have the responsibility for determining, reporting and paying the FICA, FUTA or local taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities. Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from any and all liability to which the Trustee may become subject due to Company’s failure to properly withhold and remit FICA, FUTA or local taxes in connection with payments from the Trust, or for failure to direct the Trustee regarding withholding on any payment subject to Non-resident taxes.




Section 2.2    The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan(s) shall be determined by Company or such party as it shall designate under the Plan(s), and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plan(s).


Section 2.3    Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan(s), and may request reimbursement for such payments upon presentation of appropriate evidence of payment to Trustee.  Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or their beneficiaries.  In addition, if the principal of the Trust and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan(s), Company shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due.  Trustee shall notify Company where principal and earnings are not sufficient.  Trustee shall not be liable for the inadequacy of the Trust to pay all amounts due under the Plan.


ARTICLE III
TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO TRUST BENEFICIARY WHEN COMPANY IS INSOLVENT


Section 3.1    Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants and their beneficiaries if the Company is Insolvent.  Company shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable state or federal regulatory law.


Section 3.2    At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section 1.4 hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and state law as set forth below.


(1)    The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer (or if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the highest ranking officer) of Company shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Company's Insolvency.  If a person claiming to be a creditor of Company alleges in writing to Trustee that Company has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Company is Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries.  


(2)    Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's Insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Company is Insolvent.  Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Company's solvency.


(3)    If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Company's general creditors.  Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of the Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Company with respect to benefits due under the Plan(s) or otherwise.


(4)    Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Article II of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has been directed that Company is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent). Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Company’s solvency (or Insolvency) as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Company’s solvency.


Section 3.3    Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan(s) for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.


ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS TO COMPANY


Except as provided in Articles II and III hereof, Company shall have no right or power to direct Trustee to return to Company or to divert to others any of the Trust assets before all payment of benefits have been made to Plan participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s).  
The Company shall have the right and power to direct the Trustee to return to the Company or a Related Employer or to divert to others any portion of the Trust assets to the extent the value of such Trust assets is in excess of the value of the participants’ Accounts (as defined in the Plan) as of the date of any valuation of the participants’ Accounts under the Plan.


ARTICLE V
INVESTMENT AUTHORITY


Section 5.1    Except as provided below, Company shall have the sole power and responsibility for the management, disposition, and investment of the Trust assets, and Trustee shall comply with written directions from Company or its designated agent, which may include a recordkeeper for the Plan.  Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to review, initiate action, or make recommendations regarding the investment of Trust assets and shall retain such assets until directed in writing to dispose of them.  Prior to issuing any such directions, Company shall certify to Trustee the person(s) at Company or its agent who have the authority to issue such directions.


Section 5.2    In the administration of the Trust, Trustee shall have the following powers; however, all powers regarding the investment of the Trust shall be exercised solely pursuant to direction of Company or its delegated agent or, if applicable, an Investment Manager, unless Trustee has been properly delegated investment authority pursuant to section 5.4 below:


(1)    To hold assets of any kind, including shares of any registered investment company, whether or not Trustee or any of its affiliates provides investment advice or other services to such company and receives compensation for the services provided;


(2)    To sell, exchange, assign, transfer, and convey any security or property held in the Trust, at public or private sale, at such time and price and upon such terms and conditions (including credit) as directed;


(3)    To invest and reinvest assets of the Trust (including accumulated income) as directed;


(4)    To vote, tender, or exercise any right appurtenant to any stock or securities held in the Trust, as directed;


(5)    To consent to and participate in any plan for the liquidation, reorganization, consolidation, merger or any similar action of any corporation, any security of which is held in the Trust, as directed;


(6)    To sell or exercise any "rights" issued on any securities held in the Trust, as directed;


(7)    To cause all or any part of the assets of the Trust to be held in the name of Trustee (which in such instance need not disclose its fiduciary capacity) or, as permitted by laws, in the name of any nominee, and to acquire for the Trust any investment in bearer form, but the books and records of the Trust shall at all times show that all such investments are part of the Trust and Trustee shall hold evidence of title to all such investments;


(8)    To make such distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement;


(9)    To hold a portion of the Trust for the ordinary administration and for the disbursement of funds in cash, without liability for interest thereon for such period of time as necessary, notwithstanding that Trustee or an affiliate of Trustee may benefit directly or indirectly from such uninvested amounts.  It is acknowledged that Trustee’s handling of such amounts is consistent with usual and customary banking and fiduciary practices, and any earnings realized by Trustee or its affiliates will be compensation for its bank services in addition to its regular fees; and


(10)To invest in deposit products of Trustee or its affiliates, or other bank or similar financial institution, subject to the rules and regulations governing such deposits, and without regard to the amount of such deposit, as directed;


(11)To invest in securities (including stock and the rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by the Company or an Employer as that term is defined in the Plan(s);


(12)To appoint custodians, subcustodians, or subtrustees, domestic or foreign (including affiliates of the Trustee), as to part or all of the Trust; provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any subcustodian appointed under this Section;


(13)To determine, as of the last day of each Plan Year and on such additional dates as designated by the Plan, the fair market value of the assets of the Trust Fund which are publicly traded, as defined in Treas. Reg. §54.4975-7(b)(iv).  The Trustee is directed to reflect Plan assets received through an in-kind transfer from a prior trustee in the Trust records of the Plan at the cost basis provided by the prior trustee and market value as of the date of transfer.  The Trustee may rely on valuations provided to it from investment funds without undertaking an independent valuation of such funds.  The Plan Administrator shall have the sole fiduciary responsibility to value all other Trust assets, including employer securities, which are not publicly traded as defined above.  The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for hiring an independent appraiser to assist it in its valuation responsibilities to the extent required by law or the Plan, deemed prudent by the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator shall provide to the Trustee for the preparation of any trust reports the value of any assets over which it has valuation responsibility along with any additional information as requested.  The Plan Administrator may have a third party recordkeeper act as its agent to inform the trustee of the value of any asset over which it has valuation responsibility.  Any valuation made by the Trustee or Plan Administrator in good faith shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties to the Plan and this Trust Agreement and upon all persons interested or who may become interested, directly, or indirectly, in the Trust hereby created.  


Section 5.3    From time to time the Company may appoint one or more investment managers who shall have investment management and control over all or a portion of the assets of the Trust ("Investment Managers").  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the appointment of the Investment Manager.  In the event more than one Investment Manager is appointed, the Company shall determine which assets shall be subject to management and control by each Investment Manager and shall also determine the proportion in which funds withdrawn or disbursed shall be charged against the assets subject to each Investment Manager's management and control.  Such Investment Manager shall direct Trustee as to the investment of assets and any voting, tendering, and other appurtenant rights of all securities held in the portion of the Trust over which the Investment Manager is appointed.  Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to review, initiate action, or make recommendations regarding the investment of the Trust assets and shall retain such assets until directed in writing to dispose of them.


Section 5.4    Company may delegate to Trustee the responsibility to manage all or a portion of the Trust if Trustee agrees to do so in writing.  Upon written acceptance of that delegation, Trustee shall have full power and authority to invest and reinvest the Trust in investments as provided herein, subject to any investment guidelines provided by Company.


            Section 5.5    The Trustee shall have no responsibility to notify the Company of any calls for redemption which do not appear in Standard New York Financial Publications, unless the Trustee actually receives written notice of such call for redemption.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of each written notice actually received by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its custodial business hereunder concerning any default of payment in connection with securities held hereunder, call for redemption, exchange offer, tender offer, rights offering, subscription rights, conversion or similar rights, merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization, or similar event or proceeding affecting the property held in the Trust, and shall take such action in respect thereto as may be directed in writing by the Company.


Section 5.6    All solicitation fees payable to the Trustee as agent in connection with tender offers or any of the aforementioned proceedings that would not otherwise be payable to the Company will be retained by the Trustee.


Section 5.7    Should any securities held in any depository be called for partial redemption by the issuer of such securities, the Trustee is authorized in the Trustee’s sole discretion to allot the called portion to the respective holders in any manner deemed to be fair and equitable in the Trustee’s judgment.  Securities called for partial redemption must be in the Trust pursuant to an actual rather than provisional credit.


ARTICLE VI
DISPOSITION OF INCOME


During the term of this Trust, all income received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.


ARTICLE VII
ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE


Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between Company and Trustee.  Within 60 days following the close of each calendar year and within 60  days after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Company a written account of its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be. Trustee’s accounting, if not objected to within 60 days of it being furnished to Company, shall be deemed accepted by Company.


ARTICLE VIII
RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE


Section 8.1    Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Company, and Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, its officers, employees, and agents from and against all liabilities, losses, and claims (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of defense) for actions taken or omitted by Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Trust.  In the event of a dispute between Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.


Section 8.2    If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.

Company shall pay the expenses for services by such individuals or entities, and if the Company does not pay such expenses in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust. 


Section 8.4    Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein; provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.  The Trustee shall not be liable for the failure or omission of any insurance company for any reason to pay any benefits or furnish any services under the policies or contracts.  Company shall have the sole responsibility to determine whether any insured under any insurance policy held in the Trust is deceased.

The Company may request the Trustee to perform a recordkeeping service with respect to property held by others and not otherwise subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement.  To the extent the Trustee shall agree to perform this service, its sole responsibility shall be to accurately reflect information on its books which it has received from an authorized party of the custodian of such property.

Section 10.3    Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor Trustee.  The transfer shall be completed within 30 days after receipt of all information reasonably required by Trustee to transfer assets to the successor Trustee, unless Company extends the time limit.


Section 10.4    If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Article XI hereof, by the effective date of resignation or removal under sections 10.1 and 10.2 of this article.

The former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary or reasonably requested by Company or the successor Trustee to evidence the transfer.

ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS


Section 13.1    Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.


Section 13.2    Benefits payable to Plan participants and their beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.

To the extent permitted by law, only the Trustee and the Company shall be necessary parties in any application to the courts for an interpretation of this Trust Agreement or for an accounting by the Trustee, and no Participant under the Plan(s) or other person having an interest in the Trust shall be entitled to any notice or service of process.  Any final judgment entered in such an action or proceeding shall, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive upon all persons.


Section 13.9    The Company and the Trustee hereby each represent and warrant to the other that it has full authority to enter into this Trust Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereof and that the individual executing this Trust Agreement on its behalf has the requisite authority to bind the Company or the Trustee to this Trust Agreement.
