			AVNET, INC.
		

		
			STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions for Nonqualified Stock Options (the “Standard Terms and Conditions”) apply to any Options granted under the Avnet, Inc. 2013 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that are identified as nonqualified stock options and evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Administrator that refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			

			
	
			
			TERMS OF OPTION

		
			Avnet, Inc. (“Avnet” or the “Company”) has granted to the Participant named in the attached Term Sheet a nonqualified stock option (the “Option”) to purchase up to the number of shares of Avnet's common stock (the “Stock”) set forth in the Term Sheet, at the purchase price per share and upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan.  For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, the “Company” refers to Avnet and its Subsidiaries.
		

			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

		
			The Option is not intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
		

			
	
			
				 3.
			

			
	
			
			EXERCISE OF OPTION

		
			The Option shall not be exercisable as of the grant date set forth in the Term Sheet (the “Grant Date”).   After the Grant Date, the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it becomes vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Term Sheet, subject to termination or acceleration as provided in these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Plan.  If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates, the Option shall cease to be exercisable, except to the extent set forth in Section 4, below.  
		

		
			The vesting period and/or exercisability of an Option may be adjusted by the Administrator to reflect the decreased level of employment during any period in which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis, provided that the Administrator may take into consideration any accounting consequences to the Company.  
		

		
			To exercise the Option (or any part thereof), the Participant shall provide notice to Avnet, in a form approved by Avnet, specifying the number of whole shares of Stock Participant wishes to purchase, and shall pay the Exercise Price for such shares.
		

		
			The exercise price of the Option (the “Exercise Price”) is set forth in the Term Sheet.  The Exercise Price and/or any required tax withholding may be paid in cash or by certified or cashiers' check, by “cashless” exercise methods such as direct share withholding, or by such other method (including transfer of Stock previously owned by the Participant, or broker-assisted Regulation T simultaneous exercise and sale), as the Administrator permits in its sole discretion. Fractional shares may not be exercised.  
		

		
			

		 

		

			

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

		

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

Shares of Stock will be issued as soon as practical after exercise; provided, however, that Avnet shall not be obligated to deliver shares of Stock if (a) the Participant has not satisfied all applicable tax withholding obligations, (b) the Stock is not properly registered or subject to an applicable exemption therefrom, (c) the Stock is not listed on the stock exchanges on which Avnet's Stock is otherwise listed, or (d) Avnet determines that the exercisability of the Option or the delivery of shares hereunder would violate any federal or state securities or other applicable laws.  The Option may be rescinded if necessary to ensure compliance with federal, state or other applicable laws.  The Participant shall not acquire or have any rights as a shareholder of Avnet until shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option are actually issued and delivered to the Participant in accordance herewith.
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			EXPIRATION OF OPTION

		
			Except as provided in this Section 4, the Option shall expire and cease to be exercisable as of the Expiration Date set forth in the Term Sheet.  
		

			
	
			
				 A.
			

			
	
			
			If  the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates for any reason other than death, disability, or Retirement (as defined below), the Option shall immediately expire and cease to be exercisable.  

			
	
			
				 B.
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates by reason of Retirement (as defined below), the Option shall continue to vest as set forth in the Term Sheet and these Standard Terms and Conditions and, subject to the special rules that apply in the event of death (as set forth in Paragraph D, below), shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the termination event or (ii) the Expiration Date (unless such Option shall sooner be surrendered for termination or expire).  For purposes hereof, a cessation of employment will be treated as a “Retirement” if (and only if) (a) the cessation of employment occurs after (I) the Participant has attained at least age 55 and been credited with at least five years of service with the Company and (II) the combination of the Participant’s age plus years of service is no less than 65; and (b) the Participant has signed a non-competition agreement in a form acceptable to the Company.  

			
	
			
				 C.
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company terminates or ceases by reason of disability (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), the Option shall remain exercisable only to the extent vested as of such cessation of employment or service and shall cease to be exercisable upon the earlier of (i) three months after the date of the termination event or (ii) the Expiration Date (unless such Option shall sooner be surrendered for termination or expire).  Unless the provisions of Section 4.B apply, the provisions of this Section 4.C shall apply to a Participant who has not provided services to the Company for twelve consecutive months due to long-term disability leave.

			
	
			
				 D.
			

			
	
			
			If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates by reason of death or the Participant dies within five years after Retirement from the Company (as defined above), the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent vested as of the date of death and shall cease to be exercisable upon the earliest of (i) the first anniversary of the Participant’s death, (ii) the Expiration Date, or (iii) the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s termination date, as set forth in Paragraph B, above.    

		
			 
		

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES OF OPTION SHARES

		
			The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions, and limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Stock issued as a result of the exercise of the Option, including (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other optionholders, (c) requiring that you acknowledge and accept these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, and (d) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
		

			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			TAXES

		
			The Participant acknowledges that the delivery of shares of Stock following exercise of the Option will generally give rise to a withholding tax obligation, and that the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder is conditioned on timely satisfying such withholding obligation.  The Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for satisfying such withholding obligations.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may allow the Participant to satisfy all or part of such tax obligation through withholding of shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant; the Participant transferring to Avnet nonrestricted shares of Stock previously owned by the Participant; and/or allowing the Participant to engage in a broker-assisted Regulation T simultaneous exercise and sale.  No provision of the Plan, the Term Sheet, or these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be construed to transfer to the Company or any of its affiliates any responsibility of the Participant to pay any income, employment, excise, or other taxes attributable to the grant or exercise of the Option or the disposition of the underlying shares.
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION

		
			Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.D and this Section 7, the Option shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant.  The Option may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, exchanged, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, except (i) by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) to the extent otherwise permitted by the Plan, if (and only if) approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
		

			
	
			
				 8.
			

			
	
			
			THE PLAN; DEFINED TERMS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

		
			In addition to these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, and the rules of construction set forth in the Plan shall also apply to these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

		
			The Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Option.  Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Option are superseded.
		

			
	
			
				 9.
			

			
	
			
			LIMITATION OF INTEREST IN SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION

		
			Neither the Participant (individually or as a member of a group) nor any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through the Participant shall have any right, title, interest, or privilege in or to 

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

any shares of Stock allocated or reserved for the purpose of the Plan or subject to the Term Sheet or these Standard Terms and Conditions, except as to such shares of Stock, if any, that have been issued to such person upon exercise of the Option or any part of it.  Nothing in the Plan, the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company's employ or service or limit in any way the Company's right to terminate the Participant's employment or service at any time and for any reason.  As this grant was made in the absolute discretion of management and the Administrator, receipt of these Options does not confer upon the Participant any right to future awards or participation in any equity compensation program.
		

		
			Neither the Award of this Option nor any shares of Stock issuable pursuant thereto shall be included in compensation for purposes of determining the amount payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, savings, retirement, life insurance, or other employee or director benefits arrangement of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the plan sponsor.
		

			
	
			
				 10.
			

			
	
			
			GENERAL

		
			If any provision of these Standard Terms and Conditions is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid, and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision.
		

		
			The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of these Standard Terms and Conditions, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.
		

		
			The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan, the Plan prospectus, and Avnet's most recent annual report to its shareholders has been delivered to the Participant.  
		

		
			The Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be governed, construed, interpreted, and administered solely in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
		

		
			All questions arising under the Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion.  It is expressly understood that the Administrator is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions; all such determinations shall be binding upon the Participant.
		

		
			

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

Exhibit 10.1(b)
		

		
			 
		

		
			AVNET, INC.
		

		
			2013 STOCK COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
		

		
			STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
		

		
			PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS
		

		
			FISCAL 2016 - FISCAL 2018 PERFORMANCE PERIOD
		

		
			 
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions for Performance Stock Units (the “Standard Terms and Conditions”) apply to any Performance Stock Units granted under the Avnet, Inc. 2013 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the Fiscal 2016 through Fiscal 2018 Performance Period (as defined below) that are identified as performance stock units and evidenced by a Term Sheet or an action of the Administrator that refers to these Standard Terms and Conditions. 
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			

			
	
			
			TERMS OF PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS

		
			Avnet, Inc. (“Avnet” or the “Company”) has granted to the Participant named in the attached Term Sheet performance stock units (the “Performance Stock Units” or “PSUs”), subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan.  For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, the “Company” refers to Avnet and its subsidiaries.
		

			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			VESTING AND PERFORMANCE

		
			The number of PSUs that become vested shall be determined based upon performance over a 3-year performance cycle, beginning as of June 28, 2015, and ending on June 30, 2018 (the “Performance Period”).  Except as set forth elsewhere in these Standard Terms and Conditions, the vesting of the PSUs is subject to (a) the Participant remaining continuously employed by, or in the service of, the Company from the Grant Date through the last day of the 3-year Performance Period (as described in Section 3, below), and (b) Avnet achieving the Annual Relative Economic Profit Performance (“Annual Relative EP”) and Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance (“Relative TSR”) goals set forth below.  For purposes hereof:
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			“Annual Relative EP” means, with respect to each fiscal year in the Performance Period, Avnet’s economic profit per dollar of average capital for such fiscal year as compared to the economic profit per dollar of average capital of the companies in the S&P SuperComposite Technology Distributors Index--Sub-Industry Index, excluding Avnet (see Exhibit A) (the “Distributors Index”).  

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			“Economic profit” for a business means operating income after tax (assuming an effective tax rate of 35%), less a capital charge of 10% on the amount of capital invested in the business.  For purposes hereof, “operating income” excludes certain items as determined by the Administrator, such as restructuring charges, asset writedowns, impairments, and financial impacts of accounting, tax, and regulatory changes, etc. 

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			“Relative TSR” means the percentile rank (from 0%ile for the lowest to 100%ile for the highest) of Avnet’s Total Shareholder Return compared to the individual total shareholder return of each company in the S&P MidCap 400 Information Technology Index, including Avnet, over the 3-year Performance Period (the “Technology Index”).

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			“Total Shareholder Return” means, for each company in the Technology Index, the percentage calculated using the following formula:

		
			Average stock price at end of period – average stock price at start of period + dividends
		

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

		
			Average stock price at start of period
		

		
			A company’s average stock price at the start of the relevant period shall equal its 30-trading day average immediately before and including the start day, and a company’s average stock price at the end of the relevant period shall equal its 30-trading day average immediately before and including the end day of the applicable period. 
		

		
			Performance Goals.  The number of PSUs that become vested under this award (subject to satisfying the service conditions) shall equal the sum of (i) the Annual Relative EP portion, plus (ii) the Relative TSR portion, each as described below.
		

		
			(i)Annual Relative EP Portion.  The Annual Relative EP portion equals one-third of the annual Earned EP Percentage (described below) for each fiscal year, multiplied by the Target Number of Shares set forth in the Term Sheet, multiplied by 50%.  The calculation includes the following elements:
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			The annual Earned EP Percentage for each year shall be a percentage ranging from 0% to 200%, according to the following matrix:

			
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

					
					
						 

				
	
					
						Annual Relative EP 

					
					
						-10%

					
					
						-5%

					
					
						0%

					
					
						+5%

					
					
						+10%

				
	
					
						Annual Earned EP Percentage 

					
					
						0%

					
					
						50%

					
					
						100%

					
					
						150%

					
					
						200%

				

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			If Avnet’s Annual Relative EP for a year is between two achievement levels set forth in the table above, the annual Earned EP Percentage for the fiscal year shall be determined by linear interpolation.

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			The Participant’s total Earned EP Percentage will be one-third of the annual Earned EP Percentages for each fiscal year, as follows:

		
			Total Earned EP Percentage =Fiscal 2016 Earned EP Percentage x 1/3 +
Fiscal 2017 Earned EP Percentage x 1/3 +
Fiscal 2018 Earned EP Percentage x 1/3
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			The Participant’s Annual Relative EP portion equals the Participant’s total Earned EP Percentage times the Target Number of Shares times 50%.

		
			(ii)Relative TSR Portion.  The Relative TSR Portion equals the Earned TSR Percentage (described below) for the three-year Performance Period, multiplied by the Target Number of Shares set forth in the Term Sheet, multiplied by 50%.  The Earned TSR Percentage shall be a percentage ranging from 0% to 200%, according to the following matrix:
		

			
					
						Relative TSR 
(Percentile Rank)

					
					
						<30%ile

					
					
						30%ile

					
					
						50%ile

					
					
						75%ile+

				
	
					
						Earned TSR Percentage

					
					
						0%

					
					
						50%

					
					
						100%

					
					
						200%

				

		
			If Avnet’s actual Relative TSR percentile rank is between two achievement levels set forth in the table above, the Earned TSR Percentage shall be determined by linear interpolation.  
		

		
			(iii)Administrator’s Determination.  The Administrator shall determine the Earned EP Percentage, Earned TSR Percentage, and number of PSUs that become vested in its sole discretion; provided that if the Participant is a “covered employee” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the level of achievement shall be determined in a manner that 

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

satisfies the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code for performance-based compensation and shall be evidenced by written certification of the Compensation Committee of Avnet’s Board of Directors.  
		

		
			Except as expressly provided otherwise in Sections 4 and 5 herein below, any PSUs that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing shall be forfeited without consideration.
		

		
			Payout.  Following the vesting of all or a portion of the PSUs, one share of Avnet common stock (“Stock”) shall be issuable for each PSU that vests (the “PSU Shares”).  Thereafter, Avnet shall transfer such PSU Shares to the Participant.  Such transfer shall occur as soon as practicable after the end of the 3-year Performance Period and satisfaction of all required tax withholding obligations, securities law registration, and other requirements, and applicable stock exchange listing, and in any event no later than December 31st of the calendar year in which the 3-year Performance Period ends.  
		

		
			No fractional shares shall be issued with respect to vesting of PSUs.  
		

		
			The Participant shall not acquire or have any rights as a shareholder of Avnet by virtue of these Standard Terms and Conditions (or the Award evidenced thereby) until the PSU Shares issuable pursuant to this Award are actually issued and delivered to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

			
	
			
				 3.
			

			
	
			
			TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE

		
			Except as provided below with respect to death, disability, or Retirement, if the Participant ceases to be employed by or in the service of the Company for any reason before the end of the 3-year Performance Period, the Participant shall immediately forfeit all of the PSUs without consideration.
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			DEATH OR DISABILITY OF PARTICIPANT

		
			If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company terminates or ceases by reason of the Participant’s death or disability (as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), the Participant shall vest in a pro-rata share of the PSUs equal to the number of PSUs that would have become vested had the Participant remained continuously employed by, or provided services to, the Company through the end of the 3-year Performance Period (based on Avnet’s performance through the end of the 3-year Performance Period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar quarters in the Performance Period that have been completed as of the date of death or disability, and the denominator of which is 12.  Unless the provisions of Section 5, below, apply, this Section 4 shall apply to a Participant who has not provided services to the Company for twelve consecutive months by reason of long-term disability leave. The number of PSU Shares payable (before application of the pro-ration rule set forth in this Section 4) and the timing of the transfer of such PSU Shares shall be determined in accordance with Section 2, above (without regard to the service requirement set forth therein).  All non-vested PSUs shall be forfeited.  
		

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			RETIREMENT

		
			If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates by reason of Retirement (as defined herein), the Participant shall vest in the PSUs equal to the number of PSUs that would have become vested had the Participant remained continuously employed by the Company through the end of the 3-year Performance Period (based on Avnet’s relative performance through the end of the 3-year Performance Period).  For purposes hereof, a cessation of employment will be treated as a “Retirement” if (and only if) (a) the cessation of employment occurs after (I) the Participant has attained at least age 55 and been credited with at least five years of service with the Company and (II) the combination of the Participant’s age plus years of service is no less than 65; and (b) the Participant has signed a non-competition agreement in a form 

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

acceptable to the Company.  The number of PSU Shares payable and the timing of the transfer of such PSU Shares shall be determined in accordance with Section 2, above (without regard to the service requirement set forth therein).  All non-vested PSUs shall be forfeited. 
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			TAXES

		
			The Participant acknowledges that the delivery of PSU Shares will generally give rise to a withholding tax obligation, and that the issuance of shares of Stock hereunder is conditioned on timely satisfying such withholding obligation.  The Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for satisfying such withholding obligations.  For Participants residing in the United States, Canada, Austria, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Avnet will issue “net shares,” meaning that shares will be withheld to cover the estimated withholding tax liability. Participants residing in other countries are subject to the laws of the appropriate tax jurisdiction. 
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted consistent with the intent to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties as a result of any amount paid or payable as a result of the award of the PSUs. Any ambiguity or inconsistency in the provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be resolved consistent with such intent.  
		

		
			No provision of the Plan, the Term Sheet, or these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be construed to transfer to the Company or any of its affiliates any responsibility of the Participant to pay any income, employment, excise, or other taxes attributable to a PSU.  
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			THE PLAN; DEFINED TERMS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

		
			In addition to these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, and the rules of construction set forth in the Plan shall also apply to these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

		
			The Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the PSUs.  Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the PSUs are superseded.
		

			
	
			
				 8.
			

			
	
			
			RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES

		
			The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions, and limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Stock issued pursuant to the PSUs, including (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other holders of awards granted under the Plan, (c) requiring that you acknowledge and accept these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Term Sheet, and (d) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
		

			
	
			
				 9.
			

			
	
			
			NO ASSIGNMENT

		
			Performance Stock Units granted under the Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, exchanged, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until after the PSUs have vested and the corresponding shares of Stock have been issued, except to the limited extent permitted by the Plan and approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
		

			
	
			
				 10.
			

			
	
			
			GENERAL

		
			

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

If any provision of these Standard Terms and Conditions is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid, and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision.
		

		
			The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of these Standard Terms and Conditions, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.
		

		
			The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan, the Plan prospectus, and Avnet’s most recent annual report to its shareholders has been delivered to the Participant.
		

		
			Nothing in the Plan, the Term Sheet, these Standard Terms and Conditions, or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company’s employ or service or limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time and for any reason.  As this grant was made in the absolute discretion of management and the Administrator, receipt of this Award does not confer upon the Participant any right to future awards or participation in any equity compensation program.
		

		
			Neither this Award nor any shares of Stock issuable hereunder shall be included in compensation for purposes of determining the amount payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, savings, retirement, life insurance, severance, or other employee or director benefits arrangement of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the plan sponsor.
		

		
			The Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be governed, construed, interpreted, and administered solely in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
		

		
			All questions arising under the Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion.  It is expressly understood that the Administrator is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, the Term Sheet, and these Standard Terms and Conditions; all such determinations shall be binding upon the Participant.

(“Avnet”) has granted to the Participant named in the attached award letter restricted stock units (the “Incentive Stock Units”) covering the number of shares of its common stock (the “Stock”) set forth in the award letter, subject to the conditions set forth in these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan.  For purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions and the award letter, the “Company” refers to Avnet and its subsidiaries.
		

			
	
			
				 2.
			

			
	
			
			VESTING AND PERFORMANCE

		
			Subject to the provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions, 25% of the Incentive Stock Units will vest on the first business day of January in each of 2016 through 2019.    Upon the vesting, one share of Stock shall be issuable for each Incentive Stock Unit that vests.  Thereafter, Avnet shall transfer such Stock to the Participant.  Such transfer shall occur during the Participant’s tax year in which vesting occurs, as soon as practicable after the satisfaction of all required tax withholding obligations, securities law registration and other requirements, and applicable stock exchange listing.  
		

		
			The Participant shall not acquire or have any rights as a shareholder of Avnet by virtue of these Standard Terms and Conditions (or the Award evidenced thereby) until the shares of Stock issuable pursuant to this Award are actually issued and delivered to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

			
	
			
				 3.
			

			
	
			
			TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE

		
			Except as provided below with respect to death or Retirement (as such term is defined below), if the Participant ceases to be employed by, or ceases providing services to, the Company for any reason before the Incentive Stock Units have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2, the Participant shall immediately forfeit all of the Incentive Stock Units without consideration therefor. This Section 3 shall apply to a Participant who has not provided services to the Company for twelve consecutive months due to long-term disability leave.
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			DEATH 

		
			If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of the Participant’s death, the Incentive Stock Units shall become immediately and fully vested and payable, and one share of Stock shall be issued for each Incentive Stock Unit on a date determined by the Company, which date shall be no later than 90 days after the Participant’s death.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

 
		

			
	
			
				 5.
			

			
	
			
			RETIREMENT

		
			If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company terminates by reason of Retirement, the Incentive Stock Unit shall continue to vest in accordance with the schedule prescribed by Paragraph 2 (subject to acceleration in the event of death pursuant to Paragraph 4).  One share of Stock shall be delivered with respect to each vested Incentive Stock Unit at the time prescribed by Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 4, as applicable. For purposes hereof, a cessation of employment will be treated as a “Retirement” if (and only if) (a) the cessation of employment occurs after (I) the Participant has attained at least age 55 and been credited with at least five years of service with the Company and (II) the combination of the Participant’s age plus years of service is no less than 65; and (b) the Participant has signed a non-competition agreement in a form acceptable to the Company.  
		

			
	
			
				 6.
			

			
	
			
			TAXES

		
			The Participant acknowledges that Incentive Stock Units and shares of Stock provided under this Agreement are subject to income and employment tax withholding obligations and that, in some cases, withholding obligations will arise before shares are deliverable.  The Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for satisfying such withholding obligations.  For Participants residing in the United States, Canada, Austria, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Avnet will issue “net shares,” meaning that shares will be withheld to cover estimated withholding tax liability.  Participants residing in other countries are subject to the laws of the appropriate tax jurisdiction. No provision of the Plan, the award letter, or these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be construed to transfer to the Company or any of its affiliates any responsibility of the Participant to pay any income, employment, excise, or other taxes attributable to an Incentive Stock Unit.  
		

			
	
			
				 7.
			

			
	
			
			THE PLAN; DEFINED TERMS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

		
			In addition to these Standard Terms and Conditions, the Incentive Stock Units shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, which are incorporated into these Standard Terms and Conditions by this reference.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, and the rules of construction set forth in the Plan shall also apply to these Standard Terms and Conditions.
		

		
			The award letter, these Standard Terms and Conditions, and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between the Participant and the Company regarding the Incentive Stock Units.  Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Incentive Stock Units are superseded.
		

			
	
			
				 8.
			

			
	
			
			RESTRICTIONS ON RESALES

		
			The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions, and limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Incentive Stock Units, including (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy, (b) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales by the Participant and other holders of awards granted 

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

under the Plan, requiring that you acknowledge and accept these Standard Terms and Conditions, and (c) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales or other transfers.
		

			
	
			
				 9.
			

			
	
			
			SECTION 409A

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted consistent with the intent to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties as a result of any amount paid or payable as a result of the award of the Incentive Stock Units. Any ambiguity or inconsistency in the provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be resolved consistent with such intent.  
		

		
			If, as of the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, as determined by the Company, the Participant is a “specified employee” (as determined by the Company in accordance with its guidelines established pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)), any amount payable to the Participant upon such separation from service shall be subject to the six (6) month delay required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code; provided however, that such six (6) month delay shall not be required with respect to any payment for which the payment event is not such separation from service or with respect to any payment that is not subject to Section 409A by reason of the “short-term deferral” rule described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) or otherwise.
		

			
	
			
				 10.
			

			
	
			
			NO ASSIGNMENT

		
			Incentive Stock Units granted under the Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, exchanged, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the Incentive Stock Units have vested and the corresponding shares of Stock have been issued, except to the limited extent permitted by the Plan and approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
		

			
	
			
				 11.
			

			
	
			
			GENERAL

		
			If any provision of these Standard Terms and Conditions is declared to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid, and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of these Standard Terms and Conditions shall not be affected except to the extent necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision. 
		

		
			The headings preceding the text of the sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of these Standard Terms and Conditions, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction, or effect.
		

		
			These Standard Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.
		

		
			The Participant acknowledges that a copy of the Plan, the Plan prospectus, and Avnet’s most recent annual report to its shareholders has been delivered or made available to the Participant.
		

		
			Nothing in the Plan, the award letter, these Standard Terms and Conditions, or any other instrument executed pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Company’s employ or service or limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate the 

		 

 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

Participant’s employment or service at any time and for any reason.  As this grant was made in the absolute discretion of management and the Administrator, receipt of this Award does not confer upon the Participant any right to future awards or participation in any equity compensation program.
		

		
			Neither this Award nor any shares of Stock issuable hereunder shall be included in compensation for purposes of determining the amount payable to or on behalf of the Participant under any pension, savings, retirement, life insurance, severance, or other employee or director benefits arrangement of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the plan sponsor.
		

		
			The Plan, the award letter, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be governed, construed, interpreted, and administered solely in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
		

		
			All questions arising under the Plan, the award letter, and these Standard Terms and Conditions shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion.  It is expressly understood that the Administrator is authorized to administer, construe, and make all determinations necessary or appropriate to the administration of the Plan, the award letter, and these Standard Terms and Conditions; all such determinations shall be binding upon the Participant.Exhibit

	Base Salary.  For all services rendered by you to Chico’s during the period of your employment, you shall receive base salary at a rate of $1,100,000 per year (“Base Salary”), payable in accordance with Chico’s then existing payroll practices, less such deductions as are authorized or required by law.

	b)
	Incentive Cash Bonus.  Your Cash Bonus at Target is 150% of Base Salary.  Actual bonus may range from 0 - 175% of Target, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance goals consistent with the goals for other Chico's executives as established each year by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of Chico’s FAS, Inc.’s Board of Directors.  Company performance below established levels will result in no bonus payout.  Achievement of results at Threshold is 25% of Target (37.5% of Base Salary).  Achievement of results beyond Target may pay up to 175% of Target.  Payouts normally occur at or around the time of Chico’s earnings release in early March.  The terms of the bonus, including eligibility, payouts and objectives, may be modified from time to time.  For fiscal year 2015, you are guaranteed a minimum incentive bonus of $275,000.  For fiscal year 2016, you are guaranteed a minimum bonus of $1,375,000 with a maximum bonus opportunity of 175% of Target depending upon Chico’s overall financial results.  These guaranteed bonuses may not be modified without your consent.

		
	3)
	Equity Award.  Following your commencement of employment with Chico’s, you will receive an equity award designed to deliver approximately $6.5 million in value on the grant date.  The grant date will be March 1, 2016 and the grant price will be the closing price of Chico’s FAS, Inc.’s stock on the grant date.  The actual number of shares awarded will depend on the share price on the grant date.  Approximately 50% of the equity award will be in the form of restricted stock (“RSAs”).  The restricted stock will vest over a 3-year period with one-third of the restricted stock grant vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.  The balance of the equity award will be in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”).  The PSUs will also vest over a three-year period, contingent upon the achievement of corporate financial objectives.  You will have the opportunity to earn between 0% - 150% of the target PSUs awarded with the actual number of PSUs earned based on fiscal year 2016 RONA performance.  If threshold RONA is not achieved, no PSUs will be earned.  If earned, the PSUs will vest over a 3-year period with one-third of the earned PSUs vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.  All PSUs and RSAs are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of Chico’s FAS, Inc.’s 2012 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (“Stock Plan”).  You will be eligible for future equity awards at the discretion of the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Chico’s FAS, Inc. Board of Directors. 

		
	4)
	Sign-On Cash Bonus.  You will receive a $1,030,000 million bonus, less applicable taxes, payable to you in a single, lump sum payment, but only if you establish residency for you and your family within the United States, and relocate your and your family’s residency to the Fort Myers, Florida area.  Payment is due 30 days after both have occurred.  You will be required to repay 100% of the cash sign-on bonus if you resign employment with Chico’s without “Good Reason” (as defined in Chico’s FAS, Inc. Executive Severance Plan, Effective March 1, 2008, as amended (“Severance Plan”)) prior to the first anniversary of the date of your initial employment with Chico’s.  If you resign employment with Chico’s without Good Reason after the first anniversary of the date of your initial employment with Chico’s, but

prior to the second anniversary of the date of your initial employment with Chico’s, you will be required to repay 50% of the cash sign-on bonus.   
		
	5) 
	Sign-On Grant of Restricted Stock.  You will also receive a sign-on equity award in the form of restricted stock designed to deliver approximately $3 million in value on the grant date.  The grant date will be the first business day of the month after your employment commencement date and the grant price will be the closing price of Chico’s FAS, Inc. stock on the grant date.  The restricted stock will vest over a 3-year period, with 25% of the restricted stock grant vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date, 25% of the restricted stock grant vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% of the restricted stock grant vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date.  The actual number of shares awarded will depend on the share price on the grant date. Should you resign employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Severance Plan), or be terminated without “Cause” (as defined by the Restricted Stock Agreement for the Stock Plan), any unvested restricted stock provided in this Paragraph shall become 100% vested.  Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph, all restricted stock awards are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan.

		
	6)
	Benefits.  You will be entitled to participate in the various employee benefit plans and policies (including paid time off and holidays, 401k, stock purchase, health, life, and disability) which Chico’s may establish and modify from time to time for the benefit of other Chico’s executive employees, if and when you satisfy the eligibility requirements for such employee benefit plans and policies. Chico’s retains the right to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefits plans and policies in its sole discretion.

		
	7)
	Relocation Related Expenses.  You will be relocating from Canada to the Fort Myers, Florida area by July 31, 2016.  In connection with that relocation, Chico’s will reimburse you as follows:

		
	a) 
	Relocation Expenses.  Chico’s will reimburse you for relocation costs you incur with respect to your move from Canada to Florida, based on Chico’s Tier 1 relocation policy and subject to repayment as described in such policy. In light of the fact that you will be residing in Florida while your spouse and children temporarily remain in Canada so that your children may complete the school year already in progress, benefits outlined in the Tier 1 relocation policy will be modified so that: (i) Temporary Living will be extended through July 31, 2016; (ii) you will be provided up to 8 trips between Florida and Canada; and (iii) we will cover expenses both for your move and for your spouse and children’s move, if separate. 

		
	b)  
	Tax Preparation Services Reimbursement.  You will be reimbursed for the cost of preparation of your 2015 and 2016 Canadian and United States tax returns by your tax accountant, which tax accountant will be approved by Chico’s.

		
	c)  
	Mitigation of Taxes/Currency Exchange. Chico’s will reimburse you, grossed up for any US taxes: (i) for amounts you are required to pay in Canada as income tax

associated with the deemed distribution of assets at the time your and your family’s residency in Canada is terminated; and (ii) in conjunction with the sale of your personal residence in Canada: (A) for income tax liability, if any, in the United States (and any state) because you are required to recognize discharge of indebtedness income as a result of the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Canadian Dollar at the time of such sale, and (B) the loss to you, in US Dollars, on the value of your down-payment because the Canadian Dollar has decreased in value compared to the US Dollar between the date you purchased the home and the date you sell it.  The reimbursement payment under this Paragraph will be net of any foreign tax credit utilized by you in the United States based upon the sourcing of income as between United States and Canada and will not exceed US$750,000.
		
	8) 
	Severance.  You will be a participant in, and eligible for benefits under, the Severance Plan.    For purposes of this offer letter, the definition of “Good Reason” in Section 3.02(e) of the Severance Plan shall be deemed amended by adding the following at the conclusion of the Section:  “or (4) the Company’s fraudulent, criminal or other serious misconduct which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and which occurred prior to your becoming Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.”  Furthermore, a “Change in Control” as defined in the Stock Plan shall constitute “Good Reason” under Section 3.02(e)(1) of the Severance Plan.  Any modification of the Severance Plan will not result in a lesser severance benefit to you, whether paid inside or outside of the Severance Plan.  Your rights under the Stock Plan, including but not limited to your rights under Paragraph 5 hereof, will survive any separation and release agreement entered into pursuant to Exhibit A of the Severance Plan.

		
	9)
	409A Compliance.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this letter to the contrary and, to the extent applicable, this letter shall be interpreted, construed, and administered (including with respect to any amendment, modification, or termination of the letter), in such a manner so as to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and any related Internal Revenue Service guidance promulgated thereunder.  In addition, for purposes of this letter, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to you pursuant to the letter, which constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary, in the event that you are a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, any payment due and payable to you hereunder as a result of your severance from service with Chico’s shall not be made before the date which is six (6) months after such severance from service.

Chico’s is an at-will employer. That means that either you or Chico’s are free to end the employment relationship at any time, with or without notice or cause.  By accepting our offer of employment, you acknowledge the at-will nature of our relationship.  Additionally, you represent that you are not a party to any agreement that would bar or limit the scope of your employment with Chico’s.
