In addition to the cash fee of $1,000 which I will receive for each meeting I
attend of the Ingram Micro Inc. Board of Directors and its committees on which I
serve, I hereby elect the following fixed compensation for my services as a
member of the Corporation's Board of Directors for the period January 1, [Insert

A.    CASH REMUNERATION:
<S>                                                                                                               <C>
      I elect to receive a cash retainer in the amount noted at "A" ($0.00 -
      $67,000 or $82,000 if committee chairman), to be paid in four equal
      quarterly installments, unless I make an election to defer receipt.                                          A. $___________

B.    STOCK OPTIONS:

      I elect to receive stock options with the "projected value" noted at "B"
      (must be, when combined with the amount noted at "C", $100,000 or
      greater). Options will be granted as NQSOs, effective the first business
      day in February [Insert Year]. The number of options granted will be equal
      to the "projected value", noted at "B", divided by the Black-Scholes value
      of the Corporation's stock options, using the average closing price of the
      Corporation's Class A Common Stock on the NYSE during the 90 day period
      ending December 31, [Insert Year], rounded up to the next whole share. The
      options will be exercisable at the closing price of the Corporation's stock
      on the NYSE on the date of grant, vest one-twelfth per month and have a term
      of 10 years.                                                                                                B. $ ___________

C.    RESTRICTED STOCK:

      I elect to receive shares of restricted stock from the Corporation with
      the "projected value" noted at "C" (must be, when combined with the amount
      noted at "B", $100,000 or greater). Shares of restricted stock will be
      granted effective the first business day in February [Insert Year]. The
      number of restricted shares granted will equal the "projected value",
      noted at "C", divided by the closing price on the NYSE of the Corporation's
      Class A Common Stock on that day, rounded up to the next whole share.
      Restrictions on disposition of these shares will lapse twelve months from
      the date of grant, unless I make an election to defer the lapse date.                                       C. $ ___________

D.    TOTAL FIXED COMPENSATION:                                                                                   TOTAL:

     The sum of compensation noted at "A", "B" and "C" shall equal $167,000 and
     $182,000 for committee chairman.

                                                                                                                  D. $167,000 and
                                                                                                                     $182,000 for
                                                                                                                     committee
                                                                                                                     chairman

      shares of Ingram Micro common stock (with vested but unexercised stock
      options counted as outstanding shares) beginning five years from the date
      of my election to the Board.
