Dear Mike:



On behalf of Insight, it is my pleasure to extend an offer to you for the position of Chief
Information Officer of Insight Enterprises, Inc. (“Insight”), a Section 16 Reporting Officer,
reporting to me, with a start date of November 1, 2010.



BASE COMPENSATION



The annual base salary for your position is $330,000, paid bi-weekly.



VARIABLE INCENTIVE



You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Cash Incentive Compensation Plan (“CICP”);
however, in lieu of any payment or bonus under the 2010 CICP, we will pay you a guaranteed bonus of
$140,000 on the date 2010 CICP payments are made, subject to the Reimbursement Agreement to be
provided to you. Your annual variable target will be 45% of base salary, at 100% attainment of
objectives. Further details will be provided upon commencement of your assignment. Insight
reserves the right to change the Terms and Conditions of the compensation plan.



STOCK PLANS 



The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has approved an award of service-based
restricted stock units (RSUs) equal in value to $500,000, to be issued to you on the
10th day of the month following your start date, based on the closing stock price of
NSIT on that date. The RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on the first three
anniversaries of the date of grant and are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Omnibus
Plan, as amended. You will also participate in future stock incentive plans approved by the
Compensation Committee for the Company’s Section 16 officers. Although the design and awards under
any such future plan are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, for 2010, your award as a
Section 16 Officer would have been $375,000, with 60% of the awards performance-based and the
remaining 40% service-based, each vesting over three years.



BENEFITS



As a new Insight teammate, you will be eligible to participate in our benefit plans. Please refer
to the 2010 Benefit Enrollment Guide and Enrollment Instructions included in this package. You can
enroll once you have started work and have access to Insight’s intranet, but you must enroll by the
31st day after your start date. Benefits are effective on the first of the month after
completing 30 days with Insight.

VACATION



You will be provided with four weeks of vacation in the first full year of employment. In
addition to vacation, you will also receive floating holidays, and seven and a half paid holidays
per year. Please see details in the Benefit Enrollment Guide.



EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT



We also enclose a form of Employment Agreement approved by our Compensation Committee, along with a
standard Indemnification Agreement.



CONTINGENCIES 



By signing and returning this letter, you are representing to us that you have not entered into any
agreement with any other company that prohibits you from working for Insight or limits your ability
to carry out the duties of the position we are offering you at Insight. In the event you are a
party to such an agreement, you acknowledge that your obligations under such agreement are personal
to you and are not the responsibility of Insight. In addition, Insight may make its offer of
employment contingent upon successful resolution of any restrictions arising out of your work for a
previous employer.



You also agree that you have not taken and are not in possession of any information from any other
company that is marked as confidential and/or proprietary or which you have reason to believe is
confidential and/or proprietary (“Prior Employer Proprietary Information”). Insight prohibits the
use of Prior Employer Proprietary Information unless the owner of such Prior Employer Proprietary
Information expressly authorizes Insight to use it, or it is otherwise proper for Insight to use
such information. We require that you do not use Prior Employer Proprietary Information in
carrying out your duties at Insight and do not disclose Prior Employer Proprietary Information to
Insight. By signing and returning this letter, you are agreeing to abide by these restrictions.



This offer is also contingent upon you signing the enclosed Confidentiality, Intellectual Property,
Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement, Arbitration Agreement, and other policies and
agreements included in this package. This offer is also contingent upon you passing a
pre-employment drug screen and criminal background check. Please complete, sign and return the
enclosed authorization form so that we may proceed with your background check.



Federal law requires Insight to obtain identification and employment eligibility documentation
within three business days of your hire date. Please bring original documents to verify both your
identity and eligibility to work. Please refer to the back of the enclosed I-9 form for a list of
permissible documents. You must bring with you either: (a) one document from List A; or (b) one
document from list B and one document from List C. Failure to provide these documents within three
business days of your hire date will result in the suspension and/or termination of employment. If
you are working remotely (not in an Insight office), please review the instructions with the I-9
form for your options in having your original documents viewed.



EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP



During your employment, you will be required to adhere to the company’s policies and procedures
located on the Policy Center of the company’s intranet. These policies may be modified
periodically at the discretion of company management. Employment with the company is at-will, which means that either you or Insight may terminate the employment relationship at any
time, with or without advance notice, and with or without cause. If you elect to resign your
employment, Insight requests, as a courtesy, that you provide us two weeks notice of the intended
separation from employment. This letter is not an express or implied contract for employment for
any period of time.
