Dear Thomas:
We are pleased to offer you the following employment contract in the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer covering the period from December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013 (the “Transition Date”). During this period, you will be entitled to annual base salary of $375,810, plus the equivalent of an annualized bonus of $500,000, payable bi-weekly, only through May 31, 2013 together with your base salary. This will result in bi-weekly payments of approximately $33,685.00, subject to applicable withholding. Upon appointment of a new CFO, your role will transition to a consulting role through May 31, 2013 with continued employment status including ongoing employee benefits.
In addition, provided you remain in continuous employment through the Transition Date, you will be entitled to receive the following benefits:
(1) a stay bonus of $375,000, payable in a lump sum subject to applicable withholding within 30 days of the Transition Date, and
(2) continued vesting and extension of the exercise period of your outstanding equity awards through January 31, 2014.
The benefits described in this letter agreement are subject to your compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference) and the terms of your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with SYNNEX Corporation.
This letter covers the terms of your continued employment with us during this period and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto, including your offer letter dated March 21, 2007 (but not your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, which remains in full force and effect).
To accept the foregoing terms, please sign and return this letter to me by November 8, 2012.
Sincerely,

/s/ Kevin M Murai
Kevin M. Murai

Reasonableness of Covenant.

(b)
Relief. Without limiting any remedies available to the Corporation, you acknowledge and agree that a breach of the covenants contained in paragraph (a) will result in injury to the Corporation and its subsidiaries for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely. Therefore, you agree that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Corporation shall be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction, without bond or other security, restraining you from engaging in activities prohibited by paragraph (a) or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in paragraph (a).
