Re: SERP Credit

Dear Rick:

     The purpose of this letter is to recognize in a tangible, although
deferred, way the valuable service which you have been rendering, and are
expected to continue to render, to Pioneer-Standard Electronics Inc. (the
"Company"). Because you were hired in mid-career, it will be impossible under
the terms of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") maintained
by the Company for you to achieve a full service benefit by the time you
otherwise would be eligible to retire because eligibility for a full service
benefit under the SERP requires 15 y
