                             ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.

                 8.70% Senior Exchange Note due October 1, 2005

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds
or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter called the
"Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued
under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 15, 1997 (herein called
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New York
(as successor to Bank of Montreal Trust Company) (herein called the "Trustee"),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different
sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 8.70% Senior
Exchange Notes due October 1, 2005 of the Company, limited in aggregate
principal amount to $250,000,000.

         Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal but shall not
pay interest on overdue installments of interest. If a payment date is not a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period.

         In case an Event of Default with respect to the 8.70% Senior Exchange
Notes due October 1, 2005 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Principal
hereof and the interest accrued hereon, if any, may be declared, and upon such
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

         The Indenture contains provisions that provide that, without prior
notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and
the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all
series affected by such supplemental indenture (all such series voting as one
class), and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (all such series voting as
one class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the
Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities of such series
provided that, without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each
series affected thereby an amendment or

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
waiver, including a waiver of past defaults, may not: (i) extend the stated
maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment
of interest on such Holder's Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or
the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in respect of original issue
discount), or any premium payable with respect thereto, or adversely affect the
rights of such Holder under any mandatory redemption or repurchase provision or
any right of redemption or repurchase at the option of such Holder, or reduce
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be
due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity or the amount thereof
provable in bankruptcy, or change any place of payment where, or the currency in
which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the due date therefor; (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of
outstanding Securities of the relevant series the consent of whose Holders is
required for any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance
with certain provision of the Indenture or certain Defaults and their
consequences proved for in the Indenture; (iii) waive a Default in the payment
of Principal of or interest on any Security of such Holder; or (iv) modify any
of the provisions of the Indenture governing supplemental indentures with the
consent of Securityholders, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.

         It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain
conditions, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class), by
notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default
in the payment of Principal of or interest on any Security or in respect of a
covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture: but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

         The Indenture provides that a series of Securities may include one or
more tranches (each, a "tranche") of Securities, including Securities issued in
a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more
different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but
all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms,
including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to
sections of the Indenture concerning the execution, authentication and terms of
the Securities, redemption of the Securities, Events of Default of the
Securities, defeasance of the Securities and amendment of the Indenture, if any
series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such
sections

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to
each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally
designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or
tranche pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture establishing such series or
tranche.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal of and interest on this Note in
the manner, at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin
or currency herein prescribed.

         The Notes are issuable initially only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000 at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in
the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but,
without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.

         The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations described
below, pay as additional interest on the Notes any additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") that are necessary in order that the net payment by the
Company's paying agents of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a
holder who is a non-United States person, after deduction for any present or
future tax, assessment or governmental charge of the United States or a
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, imposed by
withholding with respect to the payment, will not be less than the amount
provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the
foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: (1) to a tax,
assessment or governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason
of the holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of
the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a
person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary
holder, being considered as (a) being or having been present or engaged in trade
or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States; (b) having a current or former relationship
with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident
thereof; (c) being or having been a foreign or domestic personal holding
company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign
corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has
accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or (d) being or
having been a "10-percent shareholder" of the Company as defined in section
871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision;
(2) to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of such Note, or a
portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent
that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner
or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an
Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member
received directly

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (3) to a tax, assessment or
governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the failure
of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification
or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence,
identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner
of such note, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United
States Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax,
assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to a tax, assessment or
governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company
or a paying agent from the payment; (5) to a tax, assessment or governmental
charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law,
regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective
more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for,
whichever occurs later; (6) to an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise,
transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or
governmental charge; (7) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or
interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by
any other paying agent; or (8) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2),
(3), (4), (5), (6) and (7).

         The Securities will be redeemable in whole or from time to time in
part, at the option of the Company on any date (a "Redemption Date"), at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 percent of the principal amount
of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of the
interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date;
provided that installments of interest on the Securities which are due and
payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the relevant
Redemption Date shall be payable to the holders of such Securities, registered
as such at the close of business on the relevant record date according to their
terms and the provisions of the Indenture.

         The Notes will be redeemable, as a whole, but not in part, at the
option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal
amount, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption,
if (a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any
regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in,
or amendments to, official positions regarding the application or interpretation
of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or
becomes effective on or after the date hereof, the Company becomes or will
become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to either series of
Notes as described above or (b) any act is taken by a taxing authority of the
United States on or after the date

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
of this Offering Circular, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the
Company or any affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the
Company will or may be required to pay such Additional Amounts.

                             ARROW ELECTRONICS, INC.

                 9.15% Senior Exchange Note due October 1, 2010

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds
or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter called the
"Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued
under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 15, 1997 (herein called
"Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New York
(as successor to Bank of Montreal Trust Company) (herein called the "Trustee"),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Securities. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different
sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series designated as the 9.15% Senior
Exchange Notes due October 1, 2010 of the Company, limited in aggregate
principal amount to $200,000,000.

         Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal but shall not
pay interest on overdue installments of interest. If a payment date is not a
Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the
intervening period.

         In case an Event of Default with respect to the 9.15% Senior Exchange
Notes due October 1, 2010 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Principal
hereof and the interest accrued hereon, if any, may be declared, and upon such
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

         The Indenture contains provisions that provide that, without prior
notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and
the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all
series affected by such supplemental indenture (all such series voting as one
class), and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (all such series voting as
one class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the
Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities of such series
provided that, without the consent of each Holder of the Securities of each
series affected thereby an amendment or

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
waiver, including a waiver of past defaults, may not: (i) extend the stated
maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any installment
of interest on such Holder's Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or
the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in respect of original issue
discount), or any premium payable with respect thereto, or adversely affect the
rights of such Holder under any mandatory redemption or repurchase provision or
any right of redemption or repurchase at the option of such Holder, or reduce
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be
due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity or the amount thereof
provable in bankruptcy, or change any place of payment where, or the currency in
which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the due date therefor; (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of
outstanding Securities of the relevant series the consent of whose Holders is
required for any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance
with certain provision of the Indenture or certain Defaults and their
consequences proved for in the Indenture; (iii) waive a Default in the payment
of Principal of or interest on any Security of such Holder; or (iv) modify any
of the provisions of the Indenture governing supplemental indentures with the
consent of Securityholders, except to increase any such percentage or to provide
that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.

         It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain
conditions, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class), by
notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a Default
in the payment of Principal of or interest on any Security or in respect of a
covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture: but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereto.

         The Indenture provides that a series of Securities may include one or
more tranches (each, a "tranche") of Securities, including Securities issued in
a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more
different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but
all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms,
including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Indenture, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to
sections of the Indenture concerning the execution, authentication and terms of
the Securities, redemption of the Securities, Events of Default of the
Securities, defeasance of the Securities and amendment of the Indenture, if any
series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such
sections

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to
each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally
designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or
tranche pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture establishing such series or
tranche.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal of and interest on this Note in
the manner, at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin
or currency herein prescribed.

         The Notes are issuable initially only in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $1,000 at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in
the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but,
without the payment of any service charge, Notes may be exchanged for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations.

         The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations described
below, pay as additional interest on the Notes any additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") that are necessary in order that the net payment by the
Company's paying agents of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a
holder who is a non-United States person, after deduction for any present or
future tax, assessment or governmental charge of the United States or a
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, imposed by
withholding with respect to the payment, will not be less than the amount
provided in the Notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the
foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply: (1) to a tax,
assessment or governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason
of the holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of
the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a
person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary
holder, being considered as (a) being or having been present or engaged in trade
or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States; (b) having a current or former relationship
with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident
thereof; (c) being or having been a foreign or domestic personal holding
company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign
corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has
accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or (d) being or
having been a "10-percent shareholder" of the Company as defined in section
871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision;
(2) to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of such Note, or a
portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent
that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a beneficial owner
or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an
Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member
received directly

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (3) to a tax, assessment or
governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the failure
of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification
or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence,
identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner
of such note, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United
States Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax,
assessment or other governmental charge; (4) to a tax, assessment or
governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company
or a paying agent from the payment; (5) to a tax, assessment or governmental
charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law,
regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective
more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for,
whichever occurs later; (6) to an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise,
transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or
governmental charge; (7) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or
interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by
any other paying agent; or (8) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2),
(3), (4), (5), (6) and (7).

         The Securities will be redeemable in whole or from time to time in
part, at the option of the Company on any date (a "Redemption Date"), at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 percent of the principal amount
of the Securities to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of the
interest accrued to such Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date;
provided that installments of interest on the Securities which are due and
payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the relevant
Redemption Date shall be payable to the holders of such Securities, registered
as such at the close of business on the relevant record date according to their
terms and the provisions of the Indenture.

     The Notes will be redeemable, as a whole, but not in part, at the option of
the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount,
together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, if (a)
as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or
rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or
amendments to, official positions regarding the application or interpretation of
such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or
becomes effective on or after the date hereof, the Company becomes or will
become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to either series of
Notes as described above or (b) any act is taken by a taxing authority of the
United States on or after the date

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
of this Offering Circular, whether or not such act is taken with respect to the
Company or any affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the
Company will or may be required to pay such Additional Amounts.
