AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as administrative
agent for the Purchasers ("Administrative Agent").

                                   Background

        1. Seller, SCI, Guarantor, Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are
parties to that certain Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2002 (as amended, the "Receivables Purchase

        2. The parties hereto desire to amend the Receivables Purchase Agreement
in certain respects as set forth herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

        SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the
Receivables Purchase Agreement.

        SECTION 2. Amendments to Receivables Purchase Agreement. Effective as of
the Effective Date, the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:

            2.1. Clause (p) of Section 10.01 of the Receivables Purchase
        Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

        (p) the long-term senior unsecured debt rating (or, if such long-term
        senior unsecured debt rating is not available, an implied equivalent
        thereof published by the relevant rating agency) of the Guarantor (i)
        fails to be at least Ba3 by Moody's at any time from the period from
        October 1, 2002 through and including December 31, 2002, (ii) fails to
        be at least Ba2 by Moody's at any time after December 31, 2002 or (iii)
        fails to be at least BB- by S&P.

            2.2. The definition of "Regulatory Change" in Appendix A to the
        Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby amended (i) to replace clause
        (ii)(B) thereof with the following "(B) any fiscal, monetary or other
        authority (including any accounting board or authority (whether or not a
        governmental authority) which is responsible for the establishment or
        interpretation of national or international accounting principals), in
        each case whether foreign or domestic having jurisdiction over the
        Affected Party" and (ii) add the following to the end of such
        definition: "For the avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of
        Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting
        Standards Board shall constitute a Regulatory Change."

<PAGE>

            2.3. The definition of "Trigger Event" in Appendix A to the
        Receivables Purchase Agreement is amended to replace "long-term senior
        unsecured debt rating" therein with "long-term senior unsecured debt
        rating (or, if such rating is not available, an implied equivalent
        thereof published by the relevant rating agency)".

        SECTION 3. Waiver. The Administrative Agent and the Purchasers hereby
waive (i) the occurrence of a Termination Event under Section 10.01(p) of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement caused solely by the failure of the Guarantor to
have the requisite rating from Moody's specified in such Section 10.01(p) on the
date of (but prior to giving effect to Section 2.1 of) this Amendment and (ii)
the consequences thereof. This Amendment shall constitute notice by SCI, Seller
and Guarantor of such Termination Event as required by Section 7.02(e) of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement. This waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any
other Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event (including any
Termination Event resulting from the failure of the ratings of the Guarantor to
satisfy on or after the date hereof the requirements specified in Section
10.01(p), as amended by this Amendment).

        SECTION 4. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective
as of the date (the "Effective Date") when (i) the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterpart signatures of all parties to this Amendment and the
Purchaser Fee Letter dated as of the date hereof and (ii) each Related
Administrator has confirmed receipt of an amendment fee equal to 0.05% of the
aggregate Commitments of the Bank Purchasers of the applicable Related Group.

        SECTION 5. Miscellaneous. The Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended
hereby, remains in full force and effect. Any reference to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement from and after the date hereof shall be deemed to refer to
the Receivables Purchase Agreement as amended hereby, unless otherwise expressly
stated. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the internal laws of the State of New York. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Seller, SCI and Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to pay on
demand all costs and expenses, including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, actually incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the negotiation, preparation, execution or delivery of this Amendment.

        SECTION 6. No Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of the
Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any
Purchaser or the Administrative Agent under the Receivables Purchase Agreement
or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith,
nor constitute a waiver of any provision contained therein, except as
specifically set forth herein.

        SECTION 7. Reaffirmation of Guarantee. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby reaffirms all of its obligations under
the guarantee set forth in Article XIV of the Receivables Purchase Agreement,
both before and after giving effect to the Amendment and such guarantee is

Plan with respect to any Deferral Period by submitting a Participation Agreement
to the Committee, prior to the date established by the Committee, in the
calendar year immediately preceding the Deferral Period. Notwithstanding the

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS

        4.1 Accounts. For record keeping purposes only, separate accounts shall
be maintained on Sanmina-SCI's books and records for each Participant to reflect
the Participant's interest under the Plan.

        4.2 Deferred Compensation. The amount of Compensation deferred by each
Participant shall be credited to his or her Account as of the date the deferred
Compensation would otherwise have been payable. Any withholding of taxes or
other amounts which is required by state, federal or local law with respect to
deferred Compensation shall be withheld from the Participant's non-deferred
Compensation to the maximum extent possible with any excess reducing the amount
deferred.

        4.3 Share Units. The amounts credited to a Participant's Account shall
be converted into Share Units. The number of Share Units shall be determined by
dividing the Compensation deferred by the Market Value of one share of Common
Stock on the date as of which the amount is credited.

        4.4 Dividends. On each dividend record date, the Participant's Accounts
shall be credited with the cash equivalent of any dividends which Sanmina-SCI
would have otherwise paid on Common Stock shares equal to the number of Share
Units credited to the Accounts. Such contributions shall be converted into
additional Share Units based on the valuation method provided in Section 4.3. In
addition, the stock equivalent of any stock dividends paid on Common Stock shall
be credited to the Participant's Account on the record date and will be
reflected as additional Share Units. Dividends shall continue to be credited to
a Participant's Account until the final payment is made from the Account.

        4.5 Determination of Accounts. The value of each Participant's Account
shall be determined at the end of each trading day. The value shall be based on
the Market Value for that day times the number of Share Units credited to the
Account.

        4.6 Vesting of Accounts. Participants shall be 100% vested in their
Accounts at all times.

        4.7 Statement of Accounts. The Committee shall submit to each
Participant, within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter
and at such other time as determined by the Committee, a statement setting forth
the balance of and the credits to the Accounts maintained for such Participant.

        4.8 Adjustment of Share Units. In the event of any change in the Common
Stock occurring by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of
shares, or any rights offering to purchase such shares at a price substantially
below fair market value, or any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the
number and kind of shares represented by the Share Units shall be appropriately
adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Committee, in its
sole

Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors                         Page 4

<PAGE>

discretion, may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of
the rights granted to, or available for, the Participants hereunder. The
Committee shall give notice to each Participant of any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section and, upon such notice; such adjustment shall be effective and
binding for all purposes of the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                 PLAN BENEFITS

        5.1 After Termination of Director Service. Upon a Participant's
termination of service as a Director, the Participant shall become entitled to
receive the payment of the Participant's Account. The value of the Participant's
Account as of such date shall be payable in whole shares of Common Stock (and
cash to the extent of any fractional shares) in a single payment no later than
ninety (90) days thereafter. In the event that the Participant terminates
service as a Director because of his or her death, payment will be made to the
Participant's Beneficiary within ninety (90) days of Participant's death.

        5.2 Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
of the occurrence of a "Change of Control", the value of each Participant's
Account, determined as of the date of the Change of Control, shall be paid to
each Participant in cash in a single payment no later than ten (10) days
following such change of control.

        5.3 Tax Withholding. To the extent required by federal, state, or local
law in effect at the time payments are made, Sanmina-SCI shall withhold from any
amount that is included in the Participant's income hereunder any taxes required
to be withheld by such law(s).

        5.4 Payment to Guardian. The Committee may direct payment to the duly
appointed guardian, conservator, or other similar legal representative of a
Participant or Beneficiary to whom payment is due. In the absence of such a
legal representative, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
make payment to a person having the care and custody of a minor, incompetent or
person incapable of handling the disposition of property upon proof satisfactory
to the Committee of incompetence, minority, or incapacity. Such distribution
shall completely discharge the Committee from all liability with respect to such
benefit.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

        6.1 Beneficiary Designation. Subject to Section 6.3, each Participant
shall have the right, at any time, to designate one (1) or more persons or an
entity as Beneficiary (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under
this Plan shall be paid in the event of such Participant's death prior to
complete distribution of the Participant's Accounts. Each Beneficiary
designation shall be in a written form prescribed by the Committee and shall be
effective only when filed with the Committee during the Participant's lifetime.

        6.2 Changing Beneficiary. Subject to Section 6.3, any Beneficiary
designation, other than the Participant's spouse, may be changed by a
Participant without the consent of the

Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors                         Page 5

previously named Beneficiary by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with
the Committee. The filing of a new properly completed Beneficiary designation
shall cancel all Beneficiary designations previously filed.

        6.3 Community Property. If the Participant resides in a community
property state, any Beneficiary designation shall be valid or effective only as
permitted under applicable law.

        6.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If any Participant fails to designate a
Beneficiary in the manner provided in Section 6.1 and subject to Section 6.3, if
the Beneficiary designation is void, or if the Beneficiary designated by a
deceased Participant dies before the Participant or before complete distribution
of the Participant's Accounts, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be the person
in the first of the following classes in which there is a survivor:

               (a) The Participant's spouse;

               (b) The Participant's children in equal shares, except that if
        any of the children predeceases the Participant but leaves issue
        surviving, then such issue shall take, by right of representation, the
        share the parent would have taken if living; or

               (c) The Participant's estate.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 ADMINISTRATION

        7.1 Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have the discretionary authority to interpret and enforce all
appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and decide
or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may
arise. A majority vote of the Committee members shall control any decision.
Members of the Committee may be Participants under this Plan.

        7.2 Agents. The Committee may, from time to time, employ agents and
delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, and may, from time
to time, consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.

        7.3 Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Committee
with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the
administration, interpretation and application of this Plan and the rules and
regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding upon
all persons having any interest in this Plan.

        7.4 Indemnification of Committee. The Sanmina-SCI shall indemnify and
hold harmless the members of the Committee against any and all claims, loss,
damage, expense or liability arising from any action or failure to act with
respect to this Plan on account of such member's service on the Committee,

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                       AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

        8.1 Amendment. The Board of Directors may at any time amend this Plan by
written instrument, notice of which is given to all Participants and to any
Beneficiaries to whom a benefit is due. No amendment shall reduce the amount
accrued in any Accounts as of the date such notice of the amendment is given.

        8.2 Right to Terminate Plan. The Board of Directors may at any time
partially or completely terminate this Plan if, in its judgment, the tax,
accounting, or other effects of the continuance of this Plan would not be in the
best interests of Sanmina-SCI.

               (a) Partial Termination. The Board of Directors may partially
        terminate this Plan by instructing the Committee not to accept any
        additional Deferral Commitments. If such a partial termination occurs,
        this Plan shall continue to operate and be effective with regard to
        Deferral Commitments entered into prior to the effective date of such
        partial termination.

               (b) Complete Termination. The Board of Directors may completely
        terminate this Plan by choosing not to accept any additional Deferral
        Commitments, and by terminating all ongoing Deferral Commitments. If
        such a complete termination occurs, this Plan shall cease to operate and
        the Employer shall pay out all Accounts. Payment shall be made in
        accordance with Section 5.1 within sixty (60) days after the Plan is
        terminated.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

        9.1 Unfunded Plan. A Participant shall have the status of a general
unsecured creditor of Sanmina-SCI with respect to his or her right to receive
any payment under the Plan. The Plan shall constitute a mere promise by
Sanmina-SCI to make payments in the future of the benefits provided for herein.
It is intended that the arrangements reflected in this Plan be treated as
unfunded for tax purposes.

        9.2 Trust Fund. Sanmina-SCI may, but shall not be required to, establish
a trust to assist it in providing for any of its payment obligations under the
Plan. If any such trust is established, all of the assets of the trust shall, at
all times prior to payment to Participants, remain subject to the claims of
Sanmina-SCI's creditors; and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the
trust. Any trust so established shall also contain such other terms and
provisions as will permit the trust to be treated as a "grantor trust" under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, of which Sanmina-SCI is the grantor. If any such
trust is established, Sanmina-SCI shall be relieved of its obligation hereunder
to pay any amounts or shares of Common Stock to any Participant or Beneficiary,
to the extent that such amounts or shares are paid to the Participant or
Beneficiary from such trust.

        9.3 Nonalienability. The Committee may recognize the right of an
alternate payee

Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors                         Page 7

<PAGE>

named in a domestic relations order to receive all or a portion of a
Participant's benefit under this Plan, provided that (a) the domestic relations
order would be a "qualified domestic relations order" within the meaning of Code
Section 414(p) if Code Section 414(p) were applicable to this Plan; (b) the
domestic relations order does not purport to give the alternate payee any right
to assets of the Sanmina-SCI or its affiliates; and (c) the domestic relations
order does not purport to give the alternate payee any right to receive payments
under this Plan before the Participant is eligible to receive such payments.
Except as set forth in the preceding two sentences with respect to domestic
relations orders, and except as required under applicable federal, state, or
local laws concerning the withholding of tax, rights to benefits payable under
this Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment or other legal process, or encumbrance
of any kind. Any attempt to alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or
otherwise encumber any such supplemental benefit, whether currently or
thereafter payable, shall be void.

        9.4 Governing Law. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and
interpreted according to the laws of the state of California.

        9.5 Validity. In case any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal
or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

        9.6 Notice. Any notice required or permitted under this Plan shall be
sufficient if in writing and hand delivered or sent by registered or certified
mail. Such notice shall be deemed as given as of the date of delivery or, if
delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt
for registration or certification. Mailed notice to the Committee shall be
directed to the Company's address. Mailed notice to a Participant or Beneficiary
shall be directed to the individual's last known address in Sanmina-SCI's
records.

        9.7 Successors. The obligations of Sanmina-SCI under the Plan shall be
binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Sanmina-SCI, or upon any
successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the
assets and business of Sanmina-SCI.

In Witness Whereof, Sanmina-SCI has caused its duly authorized officers to
execute this Plan as of the ___ day of September, 2002.
