DEFINITIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

	
S&P 500 Index:
    	
 
    	
The   S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index operated by Standard and   Poor’s and used as a “Leading Indicator” of United States economy. The Index   trades with the ticker symbol of $SPX or ^GSPC.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Extended EMS Group
    	
 
    	
The   Extended EMS Group includes: Benchmark Electronics Inc., Celestica Inc.,   Jabil Circuit Inc., Plexus Corp., Sanmina Corp., Hon Hai Precision Ind.   Co., Ltd., Compal Electronics, Inc., Inventec Corporation,   Pegatron Corp., Quanta Computer Inc., Wistron Corp., Avnet, Inc., Arrow   Electronics, Inc., Ingram Micro Inc., Tech Data Corp. and TTM   Technologies Inc.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Total Shareholder Return:
    	
 
    	
Total   Shareholder Return (TSR) is used to represent the cumulative return of an   investment and includes both the change in the stock price as well as   Dividend Value from a specified start and ending period. The formula for the   calculation is as follows:
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
TSR = (Price End - Price Begin + Dividend Value) / Price Begin
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Payout Calculation:
    	
 
    	
The   Payout Calculation is determined as follows:

 

(i)                  with respect   to 60% of the Target Shares, by comparing the Company’s Total Shareholder   Return with respect to the S&P 500 Index;
    


 

3











 

	
 
    	
 
    	
The   formula for this calculation is as follows:

 

((Company TSR% - S&P TSR%) / abs(S&P TSR%))   + 100%

 

(ii)               with respect   to 40% of the Target Shares, by calculating the Total Shareholder Return of   every company within the Extended EMS Group and determining the percentile   rank of the Company’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Extended   EMS Group (that is, the number of members of the Extended EMS Group with   Total Shareholder Returns at or below the Total Shareholder Return of the   Company).
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
The   formula for this calculation is as follows:

 

(B + .5E)/N * 100

 

Where

 

B = Number of EMS Group TSRs below Company TSR

E = Number of TSRs Equal to Company TSR

N = 17 (the number of members of the EMS Group + the   Company)
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Payout Interpolation:
    	
 
    	
If   the minimum payout is not reached, then the shares will be forfeited. If   performance payouts are reached, shares will be rewarded on an interpolated   basis between 50% and 200% of the Target Shares per the Payout Tables above   (or 50% to 100% for payouts under the Company percentile ranking if Total   Shareholder Return is negative). Fractional percentiles and percentage points   will be rounded to nearest % point and fractional shares awarded will be   rounded down the nearest whole share.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
90-Day Trading Average for Measuring Performance:
    	
 
    	
To   avoid the effects of short-term price fluctuations, a 90-Day Trading Average   will be used for measuring the Performance Criteria, and will be calculated   using a basic average of the Company’s, the S&P 500 Index’s and the   Extended EMS Group’s Closing Prices on the previous 90 trading days prior to   the end of the Measurement Period.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
90-Day Trading Average = (Sum of Prior 90 day Closing   Prices) / 90

Measurement Period:
    	
 
    	
The   Measurement Period used to calculate the TSR will start on             ,   20     and end on           ,   20      .
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Vesting / Release Date:
    	
 
    	
If   the Performance Criteria is met, shares will vest or be released on the next   business day following the end of the Measurement Period. Applicable tax   withholding and reporting will be contingent on the Closing Price of the   Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Release Date.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Closing Price Methodology:
    	
 
    	
Only   the Daily Closing Price will be used to determine Total Shareholder Return   values as reported by the Wall Street Journal or any other reputable   financial services information provider.
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Dividend Value and Stock Splits:
    	
 
    	
Dividends   will be assumed reinvested at the Closing Price on the Payout Date and all   calculations will be adjusted for Stock Splits.

1. Grant of RSU Award.

 

1.1 Grant of RSU Award. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an RSU Award for the number of ordinary shares set forth above under “RSU Award” (the “Shares”).

 

(a) Vesting Criteria. The RSU Award shall vest, and the Shares shall be issuable to the Participant, according to the Performance Criteria set forth above. If application of the Performance Criteria causes vesting of a fractional Share, such Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. Shares that vest and are issuable pursuant to the Performance Criteria are “Vested Shares.”

 

(b) Termination of Service. The RSU Award, all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement, shall terminate on the earlier of the Participant’s Termination Date (as defined in the Plan) or the date when all the Shares that are subject to the RSU Award have been allotted and issued, or forfeited in the case of any portion of the RSU Award that fails to vest; provided, however, that if the Participant has a Termination of Service due to Retirement, then (i) the RSU Award and all rights and obligations hereunder will not terminate and (ii) a pro-rata number of vested Shares shall be issued to the Participant upon the vesting of the RSU Award pursuant to the Performance Criteria, with the number of Shares that vest determined by multiplying the full number of Shares subject to the RSU Award by a fraction, which shall be (x) the number of complete months of continuous service as an Employee from the grant date of the RSU Award to the date of Retirement, divided by (y) the number of months from the grant date to the vesting date; provided, further, that if within twelve months of Retirement, the Participant violates the terms of a non-disclosure agreement with, or other confidentiality obligation owed to, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, then the RSU Award and all of the Company’s obligations and the Participant’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Participant’s voluntary Termination of Service after the Participant has attained the age of sixty (60) years and completed at least ten (10) years of service as an Employee of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 

(c) Allotment and Issuance of Vested Shares. The Company shall allot and issue the Vested Shares as soon as practicable after such Shares have vested pursuant to the Performance Criteria. The Company shall have no obligation to allot and issue, and the Participant will have no right or title to, any Shares, and no Shares will be allotted and issued to the Participant, until satisfaction of the Performance Criteria.

 

8











 

(d) No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the Participant’s employment or service relationship at any time, with or without cause.

 

(e) Nontransferability of RSU Award. None of the Participant’s rights under this Agreement or under the RSU Award may be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participants in the U.S. may transfer or assign the RSU Award to Family Members (as defined in the Plan) through a gift or a domestic relations order (and not in a transfer for value), or as otherwise allowed by the Plan. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Participant.

 

(f) Privileges of Share Ownership. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder until the Vested Shares are allotted and issued after the applicable vest date.

 

(g) Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of the terms and provisions with respect to the RSU Award and this Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and on the Participant.

 

1.2 Title to Shares. Title to Vested Shares will be provided in the Participant’s individual name on the Company’s records unless the Participant otherwise notifies Stock Administration of an alternative designation in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws.

 

2. Delivery.

 

2.1 Deliveries by Participant. The Participant hereby delivers to the Company this Agreement.

 

2.2 Deliveries by the Company. The Company will issue a duly executed share certificate or other documentation evidencing the Vested Shares in the name specified in Section 1.2 above upon vesting, provided the Participant has delivered and executed this Agreement prior to the applicable vesting date and has remained continuously employed by the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary, or Affiliate through each applicable vesting date.

 

3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares to the Participant shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of any share exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Ordinary Shares may be listed at the time of such issuance or transfer. The Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state, local or foreign securities commission or any share exchange to effect such compliance.

 

4. Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Participant will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Vested Shares which have been allotted and issued to the Participant until such time as the Participant disposes of such Vested Shares.

 

9











 

5. Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

5.1 Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Participant agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company administers transfers of its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

 

5.2 Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to register in its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any Participant or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.

 

6. Taxes and Disposition of Shares.

 

6.1 Tax Obligations.

 

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items arising out of the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU Award, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or issuance of Vested Shares underlying the RSU Award, the subsequent sale of Vested Shares acquired upon vesting and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSU Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

(b) Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company, the Employer, or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company; or (2) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Vested Shares either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Shares to be issued at vesting of the RSU Award.

 

(c) To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable

 

10












 

withholding rates. If the obligation for the Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Vested Shares, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

(d) The Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described in this section. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Vested Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

6.2 Disposition of Shares. Participant hereby agrees that the Participant shall make no disposition of the Shares (other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until the Participant shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Shares.

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(d) all decisions with respect to future RSU Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

 

(e) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

 

(f) the future value of the Shares underlying the RSU Award is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

 

(g) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from the forfeiture of the RSU Award resulting from a Termination of Service (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the RSU Award to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company and/or the Employer, waives the Participant’s ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and/or the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

 

(h) for the Participants residing outside of the U.S.A.:

 

(A) the RSU Award and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

 

11











 

(B) the RSU Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, dismissal, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to past services for the Employer, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate; and

 

(C) subject to Section 1.1(b), in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participant’s right to vest in the RSU Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date of Termination of Service and; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing service for purposes of this RSU Award.

This Exhibit A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2010. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Exhibit A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the RSU Award vests and Shares are issued to the Participant or the Participant sells Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSU Award under the Plan.

 

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to his or her situation.

The Participant also understands that providing the Company with Personal Data is mandatory for compliance with laws and is necessary for the performance of the Plan and that the Participant’s denial to provide Personal Data would make it impossible for the Company to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

Securities Law Information. The Participant should be aware of the Dutch insider-trading rules, which may impact the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions if the Participant has inside information about the Company.

 

Under Article 5:56 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, anyone who has “insider information” related to an issuing company is prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in or from the Netherlands. “Inside information” is defined as knowledge of specific information concerning the issuing company to which the securities relate or the trade in securities issued by such company, which has not been made public and which, if published, would reasonably be expected to affect the share price, regardless of the development of the price. The insider could be any Employee in the Netherlands who has inside information as described herein.

 

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain Employees working at a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate in the Netherlands may have inside information and, thus, would be prohibited from effectuating a transaction in securities in the Netherlands at a time when the Participant has such inside information.

 

If the Participant is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules apply to him or her, he or she should consult his or her personal legal advisor.

Tax Obligations. The following provisions supplement Section 6.1 of the Agreement:

 

The Participant agrees that, if Participant does not pay or the Employer or the Company does not withhold from the Participant the full amount of Tax-Related Items that the Participant owes at vesting/settlement of the RSU Award, or the release or assignment of the RSU Award for consideration, or the receipt of any other benefit in connection with the RSU Award (the “Taxable Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified in section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, then the amount that should have been withheld shall constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Employer, effective 90 days after the Taxable Event. The Participant agrees that the loan will bear interest at the HMRC’s official rate and will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company and/or the Employer may recover it at any time thereafter by withholding the funds from salary, bonus or any other funds due to the Participant by the Employer, by withholding in Shares issued upon vesting of the RSU Award or from the cash proceeds from the sale of Vested Shares or by demanding cash or a check from the Participant. The Participant also authorizes the Company to delay the issuance of any Vested Shares unless and until the loan is repaid in full.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer or executive director (as within the meaning of section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In the event that the Participant is an officer or executive director and Tax-Related Items are not collected from or paid by Participant within 90 days of the Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Tax-Related Items may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions may be payable. The Participant acknowledges that the Company or the Employer may recover any such additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in Section 6.1 Agreement, although the Participant acknowledges that he/she ultimately will be responsible for reporting any income tax or National Insurance Contributions due on this additional benefit directly to the HMRC under the self-assessment regime.

The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or the Employer.
