         This Amendment No. 1 is made as of the 30th day of April, 2002 by the
Board of Directors of Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc. (the "Company");

         WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the Pioneer-Standard
Electronics, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Plan"); and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to increase the number
of Common Shares subject to the Plan by 105,000 Common Shares;

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the Board of Directors
resolved on April 30, 2002 to amend the Plan, subject to the approval of the
shareholders of the Company;

         NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, Section 3 of the
Plan is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

         "3. Shares Subject to the Plan. The shares to be issued upon the
exercise of the options granted under the Plan shall be Common Shares of the
Company. Either treasury or authorized and unissued Common Shares, or both, as
the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine, may be so issued.
Common Shares which are the subject of any lapsed, expired or terminated options
may be made available for reoffering under the Plan. If an option granted under
this Plan is exercised pursuant to the terms and conditions of subsection 5(b),
any Common Shares which are the subject thereof shall not thereafter be
available for reoffering under the Plan.

         Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph of this
Section 3, the aggregate number of Common Shares for which options may be
granted under the Plan shall be Two Hundred Ten Thousand (210,000) Common
Shares.

         In the event that, after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board
of Directors, the Common Shares should, as a result of a stock split, stock
dividend, combination or exchange of shares, exchange for other securities,
reclassification, reorganization, redesignation, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, spin-off or other such change, be increased or decreased or
changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or
other securities of the Company or of another corporation, then (i) there shall
automatically be substituted for each Common Share subject to an unexercised
option (in whole or in part) granted under the Plan and each Common Share made
available for grant to each eligible director pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each
outstanding Common Share shall be changed or for which each such Common Share
shall be exchanged, (ii) the option price per Common Share or unit of securities
shall be increased or decreased proportionately so that the aggregate purchase
price for the securities subject to the option shall remain the same as
immediately prior to such event, and (iii) the Board shall make such other
adjustments as may be appropriate and equitable to prevent enlargement or
dilution of option rights. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination
of fractional shares."<PAGE>

                                   "Appendix A

Section 1  General Rules

1.1      Effective Date. The provisions of this Appendix A will apply for
         purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar
         years beginning with the 2003 calendar year.

1.2      Precedence. The requirements of this Appendix A will take precedence
         over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan except that no provision
         of this Appendix A shall be deemed to require a distribution under the
         Plan in a form other than a lump sum.

1.3      Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions
         required under this Appendix A will be determined and made in
         accordance with the Treasury regulations under Section 401(a)(9) of the
         Internal Revenue Code.

1.4      TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions
         of this Appendix A, distributions may be made under a designation made
         before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax
         Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the
         Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

Section 2 Time and Manner of Distribution.

2.1      Required Beginning Date. The Participant's entire interest will be
         distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later
         than the Participant's required beginning date.

2.2      Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant
         dies before distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will
         be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

         (a)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's
                  sole designated Beneficiary, then, except as provided in the
                  adoption agreement, distributions to the surviving spouse will
                  begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately
                  following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or
                  by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant
                  would have attained age 70 1/2, if later.

         (b)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's
                  sole designated Beneficiary, then, except as otherwise
                  provided in the Plan, distributions to the designated
                  Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
                  immediately following the calendar year in which the
                  Participant died.

         (c)      If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of
                  the year following the year of the Participant's death, the
                  Participant's entire interest will be distributed by December
                  31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
                  the Participant's death.

         (d)      If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's
                  sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies
                  after the Participant but before distributions to the
                  surviving spouse begin, this Section 2.2, other than Section
                  2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
                  Participant.

         For purposes of this Section 2.2 and Section 4, unless Section 2.2(d)
         applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's
         required beginning date. If Section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are
         considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to
         the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a). If distributions under an
         annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the
         Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or to the
         Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are
         required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a)), the
         date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions
         actually commence.

                                       5
<PAGE>

2.3      Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is distributed
         in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a
         single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first
         distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance
         with Sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix A. If the Participant's interest
         is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance
         company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the
         requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury
         regulations.

Section 3  Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime.

3.1      Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar
         Year. During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will
         be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:
         (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance
         by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in
         Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the
         Participant's age as of the Participant's birthday in the distribution
         calendar year; or
         (b) if the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary for the
         distribution calendar year is the Participant's spouse, the quotient
         obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the number in
         the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of
         the Treasury regulations, using the Participant's and spouse's attained
         ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the distribution
         calendar year.

3.2      Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of
         Participant's Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined
         under this Section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar
         year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that
         includes the Participant's date of death

Section 4  Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death.

4.1.     Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

         (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant
         dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated
         Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
         distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death is
         the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's Account balance by
         the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the
         remaining life expectancy of the Participant's designated Beneficiary,
         determined as follows:

                  (1) The Participant's remaining life expectancy is calculated
                  using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced
                  by one for each subsequent year.

                  (2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's
                  sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of
                  the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution
                  calendar year after the year of the Participant's death using
                  the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that
                  year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the
                  surviving spouse's death, the remaining life expectancy of the
                  surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving
                  spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the
                  spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar
                  year.

                  (3) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the
                  Participant's sole designated Beneficiary, the designated
                  Beneficiary's remaining life expectancy is calculated using
                  the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of
                  the Participant's death, reduced by one for each subsequent
                  year.

         (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the
         date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of
         September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant's death, the
         minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar
         year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained
         by dividing the Participant's Account balance by the Participant's
         remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant
         in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

4.2      Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

         (a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as otherwise
         provided in the Plan, if the Participant dies before the date
         distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum
         amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year
         after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by
         dividing the Participant's Account balance by the remaining life
         expectancy of the Participant's designated Beneficiary, determined as
         provided in Section 4.1.

         (b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date
         distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of
         September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant's death,
         distribution of the Participant's entire interest will be completed by
         December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of
         the Participant's death.

         (c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse
         Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date
         distributions begin, the Participant's surviving spouse is the
         Participant's sole designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse
         dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse
         under Section 2.2(a), this Section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving
         spouse were the Participant.

5.2      Distribution Calendar Year. A calendar year for which a minimum
         distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the
         Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is the
         calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains
         the Participant's required beginning date. For distributions beginning
         after the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is
         the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under
         Section 2.2. The required minimum distribution for the Participant's
         first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the
         Participant's required beginning date. The required minimum
         distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the
         required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in
         which the Participant's required beginning date occurs, will be made on
         or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

5.3      Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life
         Table in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

5.4      Participant's Account Balance. The Account balance as of the last
         valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the
         distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the
         amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated
         to the Account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after
         the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation
         calendar year after the valuation date. The Account balance for the
         valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred
         to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the
         distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the
         valuation calendar year.
