Cause (as defined below), all shares of Restricted Stock which are then subject
to any restrictions set forth above, shall upon such termination of employment
be forfeited and returned to the Corporation.  If the employment of the Employee
terminates by reason of death, Total Disability or Retirement (as defined

          In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, "Just Cause" shall mean
prior to a Change in Control Event that the Corporation, acting in good faith

responsibilities to the Corporation (other than as a result of incapacity due to
the Employee's disability); or (ii) been convicted of a crime involving moral
turpitude; or (iii) refused to perform his required duties and responsibilities
or performed them incompetently; or (iv) violated any fiduciary duty owed to the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Corporation; or (v) taken actions which are injurious to the Corporation and
which involve moral turpitude or actual malice towards the Corporation. For a
discharge which occurs coincident with or after a Change in Control Event, "Just
Cause" means (x) Employee's conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude; or
(y) actions of Employee which are injurious to the Corporation and involve moral
turpitude or actual malice toward the Corporation.

          7. Stock Certificate. A stock certificate issued in respect of the
             -----------------
shares of Restricted Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be registered
in the name of the Employee and shall be deposited by the Employee with the
Corporation together with a stock power endorsed in blank.  The Corporation
shall provide the Employee with a receipt for such stock certificate
acknowledging that the Corporation is holding such certificate pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.

          All stock certificates for shares of Restricted Stock during the
Restricted Period shall bear the following legend:

     "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
     represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions contained in an
     Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Wyle Electronics.
     A copy of such Agreement is on file in the office of the Secretary of Wyle
     Electronics, 15370 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, California 92718."

          With regard to any shares of Restricted Stock which cease to be
subject to restrictions pursuant to Section 5, the Corporation shall, within 60
days of the date such shares cease to be subject to restrictions, transfer such
shares free of all restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement to the
Employee or, in the event of such the Employee's death, to the Employee's legal
representative, heir or legatee.

Restricted Stock, all rights of a shareholder of the Corporation, including the
right to vote such shares and the right to receive all regular cash dividends
paid with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock; provided, that the right to
receive regular cash dividends shall terminate immediately with respect to any
shares of Restricted Stock upon forfeiture of those shares pursuant to Section 6
of this Agreement.

          9. Regulatory Compliance. The issue and sale of shares of
             ---------------------
Restricted Stock shall be subject to full compliance with all then applicable
requirements of law and the requirements

                                       4
<PAGE>

of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Corporation may
be listed.


          10. Withholding Tax. The Employee agrees that, in the event the
              ---------------
purchase of the Restricted Stock or the expiration of restrictions thereon
results in the Employee's realization of income which for federal, state or
local income tax purposes is, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation,
subject to withholding of tax at source by the Corporation, the Employee will
pay to the Corporation an amount equal to such withholding tax (or the
Corporation may withhold such amount from the Employee's salary or from
dividends deposited with the Corporation with respect to the Restricted Stock).

          11. Investment Representation. The Employee represents and agrees
              -------------------------
that if the Employee purchases the Restricted Stock at a time when there is not
in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") a registration
statement relating to the shares and there is not available for delivery a
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act,
(i) the Employee will acquire the shares upon such purchase for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to their resale or distribution, (ii) that upon
such purchase, the Employee will furnish to the Corporation an investment letter
in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, (iii) prior to selling or
offering for sale any such shares, the Employee will furnish the Corporation
with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it to the effect that such sale may
lawfully be made and will furnish it with such certificates as to factual
matters as it may reasonably request, and (iv) that certificates representing
such shares may be marked with an appropriate legend describing such conditions
precedent to sale or transfer.

          12. Federal Income Tax Election. The Employee hereby acknowledges
              ---------------------------
receipt of advice that pursuant to current federal income tax laws, (i) the
Employee has 30 days in which to elect to be taxed in the current taxable year
on the difference between the amount paid, if any, for the Restricted Stock and
the Fair Market Value thereof in accordance with the provisions of Internal
Revenue Code Section 83(b) and, (ii) if no such election is made, the taxable
event will occur when the shares of Restricted Stock cease to be subject to
restriction, and the tax will be measured by the difference between the amount
paid, if any, for the Restricted Stock and the Fair Market Value of the
Restricted Stock on the date of the taxable event.

          13. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Corporation under the
              -------
terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at
its principal office located at 15370 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, California
92718, Attention: Corporation Secretary, and any notice to be given to the

Plan.  The Committee with the consent of the Employee may make such

the Committee shall deem advisable, including, without limitation, those
adjustments described in Section 6.6(d) of the Plan.

          15. General Terms. The award of Restricted Stock and this Agreement
              -------------
are subject to, and the Corporation and the Employee agree to be bound by, the
provisions of the Plan that apply to the Restricted Stock, including but not
limited to Articles I, IV, VI and VII.  Such provisions are incorporated herein
by this reference.  The Employee acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan and
reading its applicable provisions.  Provisions of the Plan that grant
discretionary authority to the Committee shall not create any rights in the
Employee, unless such rights are expressly set forth herein.
