     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT to the Littelfuse, Inc. Retirement Plan, as amended and restated January

duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), as follows:

     1. Section 1.1(A)(9) “Credited Service” is amended to add a new subparagraph (e) to the end
thereof to read as follows:

     “(e) any service with the Employer on or after April 1, 2009 will be excluded from the
Employee’s Credited Service unless otherwise required by law; provided that this
subparagraph (e) shall not apply in determining the Credited Service a Participant would
have accrued on his Normal Retirement Date if he continued in the fulltime service of the
Employer until his Normal Retirement Date for purposes of calculating the denominator of the
fraction in Section 1.1(A)(1)(b), and, provided further, that this subparagraph (e) shall
not apply in determining “Vesting Service” under paragraph (a) of Section 1.1(A)(41).”

Compensation from the Employer for the five consecutive calendar years, out of the 10
completed calendar years immediately preceding the first day of the month coincident with or
next following the earlier of the date as of which his service terminates for any reason
(or, where applicable, immediately preceding such other date as is specified hereunder) and
March 31, 2009, that give the highest average monthly rate of Compensation for the
Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of a Participant’s Final
Average Monthly Compensation, shall not, except to the extent as may be required by law,
take into account any portion of the Participant’s Compensation from the Employer on or
after April 1, 2009.”

     3. The definition of “Monthly Covered Compensation” in Section 1.1(A)(23) is amended to read
in full as follows:

     “(23) ‘Monthly Covered Compensation’ shall be equal to one-twelfth of the ‘covered
compensation,’ (within the meaning of Section 401(l)(5)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code and
regulations and rulings issued pursuant thereto) as determined for the earlier of the year
prior to the year of the Participant’s termination of employment or 2008, that applies to
the Participant based upon his year of birth.”

     4. Section 1.1(A)(41) “Vesting Service” is amended to add the following new subparagraph (e)
to the end thereof to read as follows:

     “(e) notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, an Employee shall continue
to earn Vesting Service on and after April 1, 2009, as described in this Section (41),
irrespective of the freezing of the Plan on such date.”

 

 

     5. A new Section 1.2(E) is added to the Plan to read as follows:

     “(E) No New Participants On or After April 1, 2009. No Eligible Employee or other
individual shall be permitted to become a Participant in the Plan on or after April 1, 2009
(i) as a new Participant or (ii) except to the extent required by applicable law or Section

determined as of March 31, 2009, has been distributed to him or her or otherwise discharged
by the Plan.”

     6. The first paragraph of Section 2.2(D) is amended to read in full as follows:

     “A Participant who, as of April 1, 2009, had attained age 62 and completed 10 years of
Vesting Service and who retires from the service of the Employer under the
provisions of this Section 2.2 prior to his Normal Retirement Date and on or after both
January 1, 1993 and the date as of which he has both attained the age of 62 years and
completed 10 years of Vesting Service shall be entitled, in addition to the monthly
retirement income described above in this Section 2.2, to a temporary supplemental monthly
retirement income, in the amount determined under Subsection (1) below, that is payable in

LITTELFUSE, INC.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

restated effective January 1, 2010

     1. Establishment.
On February 1, 2008, the Board of Directors of Littelfuse, Inc. “Littelfuse”, upon
recommendation by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, approved an incentive plan
for executives and key employees of the Company as described herein, which plan was known as the
“Littelfuse, Inc. 2008 Annual Incentive Plan.” The Plan was approved by the shareholders on April
25, 2008. This restatement of the Plan is hereby being approved by the Board of Directors of
Littelfuse, effective January 1, 2010, to change the name of the Plan to the “Littelfuse, Inc.
Annual Incentive Plan.”

     2. Purpose.
The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests of Littelfuse and its shareholders by
attracting and retaining key employees, and by stimulating the efforts of such employees to
contribute to the continued success and growth of the business of the Company.

     3. Definitions.
When the following terms are used herein with initial capital letters, they shall have the
following meanings:

     3.1 Award — a right granted by the Compensation Committee to Participants in the Plan to
receive cash incentive payments upon the achievement by the Company of certain Performance Factors,
subject to the provisions of the Plan.

     3.2 Base Salary — a Participant’s annualized base salary, as determined by the Compensation
Committee, as of the time the determinations under Section 4.3 are made with respect to a
Participant for a particular Performance Period.

     3.3 Code — the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time, and any
proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations or other authoritative administrative guidance
promulgated thereunder.

     3.4 Company — Littelfuse, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries or affiliates,
whether now or hereafter established.

     3.5 Compensation Committee — the Compensation Committee, a standing committee of the Board of
Directors of Littelfuse, or such other committee as may be designated by the Board of Directors to
administer the plan. At least two members of the Compensation Committee shall be “outside
directors” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.162-27(e)(3), and if there are other
members of the Compensation Committee that are not outside directors as so defined, any grant to,
or determination with respect to, a Named Executive shall
be made by a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee composed only of the outside directors
as so defined.

     3.6 Maximum Award — a dollar amount or a percentage of Base Salary, as determined by the
Compensation Committee with respect to each Participant for each Performance Period, which
represents the payment that the Participant will earn if the maximum level of the Participant’s
Performance Factors is achieved.

 

 

     3.7 Named Executives — all Participants for a given Performance Period designated by the
Compensation Committee as “Named Executives” for purposes of this Plan. The Compensation Committee
may designate as a Named Executive for any Performance Period any Participant who it determines, in
its discretion, may (i) be a “covered employee” under Treasury Regulations §1.162-27(c)(2), as
interpreted by IRS Notice 2007-49, and (ii) receive total compensation in excess of $1,000,000, for
that Performance Period.

     3.8 Other Participants — all Participants for a given Performance Period who are not
designated as “Named Executives” by the Compensation Committee for such Performance Period.

     3.9 Participants — any management or key employee of the Company who is designated by the
Compensation Committee during the first 90 days of a Performance Period as Participants in this
Plan. Directors of the Company who are not also employees of the Company are not eligible to
participate in the Plan. Participants shall be designated as either Named Executives or Other
Participants by the Compensation Committee as provided in Section 4.3 below. A person who is hired
by the Company, or promoted to a position in which he is eligible to be a Participant, during a
Performance Period may also be designated as a Participant by the Compensation Committee at the
time of hire or promotion, in which event the Performance Period for such Participant shall be the
portion of the Performance Period remaining after the person is designated a Participant, and
Compensation Committee shall establish the terms of such Participant’s Award at the time the person
is designated as a Participant, but in no event after the expiration of 25 percent of the days in
the Participant’s Performance Period.

     3.10 Performance Factor — the performance goals selected by the Compensation Committee for
each Participant with respect to each Performance Period, the achievement of which shall determine
the amount of the Participant’s Award for the Performance Period, as follows:

	 	(a)	 	The Performance Factors for each Named Executive shall be objective and shall
be based solely upon one or more of the following business criteria, which may apply to
the individual in question, an identifiable business unit or the Company as a whole,
and on an annual or other periodic or cumulative basis: (i) sales values, (ii) margins
(including profit, operating profit, or gross margins), (iii) volume, (iv) cash flow,
(v) stock price, (vi) market share, (vii) revenue, (viii) sales, (ix) earnings per
share (either primary or fully diluted), (x) profits, (xi) net income, (xii) cash from

tangible assets), (xx) return on sales, (xxi) return on capital employed, (xxii)
economic value added, or (xxiii) total shareholder return (in each case, whether
compared to pre-selected peer groups or not).
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Performance Factors for Other Participants may include any of the criteria
listed in Section 3.10(a), and may also include such other business criteria as the
Compensation Committee may determine to be appropriate, which may include

2

 

	 	 	 	financial and
nonfinancial performance goals that are linked to such individual’s business unit or
the Company as a whole or to such individual’s areas of responsibility, and which may
include subjective determinations by the Compensation Committee or the Other
Participant’s superiors.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Compensation Committee shall provide the manner in which any Performance
Factor shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to prevent dilution or enlargement of
any Award as a result of extraordinary events or circumstances, as determined by the
Compensation Committee, or to exclude the effects of extraordinary, unusual, or
non-recurring items; changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles;
currency fluctuations; discontinued operations; non-cash items, or reserves; asset
impairment; or any recapitalization, restructuring, reorganization, merger,
acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, combination, liquidation,
dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporate transaction; provided, however,
that no such adjustment will be made if the effect of such adjustment would cause the
Named Executive’s Award to fail to qualify as “performance based compensation” within
the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

     3.11 Performance Period — each consecutive twelve-month period commencing on January 1 of each
year during the term of this Plan, beginning with January 1, 2008, or a portion of such twelve
month period with respect to a person who becomes a Participant during such period as provided in
the last sentence of Section 3.9.

     3.13 Target Award — a dollar amount or a percentage of Base Salary, as determined by the
Compensation Committee with respect to each Participant for each Performance Period, which
represents the payment that the Participant will earn if the target level of the Participant’s
Performance Factors is achieved.

     3.14 Threshold Award — a dollar amount or a percentage of Base Salary, as determined by the
Compensation Committee with respect to each Participant for each Performance Period, which
represents the payment that the Participant will earn if the threshold level of the Participant’s
Performance Factors is achieved.

     4. Administration.

     4.1 Power and Authority of Compensation Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee shall have full
power and authority, subject to all the applicable provisions of the Plan and applicable law,
to (a) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it
deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan, (b) construe, interpret and
administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to the Plan, and (c) make all other
determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, each determination made and each action
taken by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Plan or any instrument or

3

 

agreement relating to
the Plan shall be (i) within the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, (ii) may be made
at any time and (iii) shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes on all persons,
including, but not limited to, Participants, and their legal representatives and beneficiaries, and
employees of the Company.

     4.2 Delegation. The Compensation Committee may delegate its powers and duties under the Plan
to one or more officers of the Company or a committee of such officers, subject to such terms,
conditions and limitations as the Compensation Committee may establish in its sole discretion;
provided, however, that the Compensation Committee shall not delegate its power (a) to make grants
to or determinations (including certification pursuant to Section 4.4) regarding officers of the
Company who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act or (b) in such a manner as would cause the
Plan not to comply with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

     4.3 Determinations at the Outset of Each Performance Period. On or before the 90th day of
each Performance Period, the Compensation Committee shall:

     (a) designate all Participants (including designation as Named Executives or Other
Participants) for such Performance Period;

     (b) establish a Threshold Award, Target Award and Maximum Award for each Participant; and

     (c) with respect to each Participant, establish one or more Performance Factors and a formula
to determine the amount of the Award that will be earned at different levels of achievement of the
Performance Factors. For a Named Executive, the terms of the Award shall be such that an outside
party, with knowledge of all relevant factors, could calculate the amount of the Award (subject to
the Compensation Committee’s authority to exercise negative discretion to reduce the amount of the
Award as provided in Section 5.2(a).

     4.4 Certification. Following the close of each Performance Period and prior to payment of any
amount to any Participant under the Plan, the Compensation Committee must certify in writing which
of the applicable Performance Factors for that Performance Period (and the corresponding Award
amounts) have been achieved and certify as to the attainment of all other factors upon which any
payments to a Participant for that Performance Period are to be based. Such certification shall be
made in time to permit payments to be made not later than the fifteenth day of the third month
following the end of the Performance Period.

     4.5 Shareholder Approval. The material terms of this Plan were disclosed to and approved by
shareholders of the Company in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code at the annual meeting of
shareholders held on April 25, 2008. No amount was payable to any Named
Executive under this Plan unless such shareholder approval was been obtained, and if the
shareholders failed to approve the Plan all Awards previously made to Named Executives would have
been null and void.

4

 

     5. Incentive Payment.

     5.1 Formula. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Plan, each Participant shall receive
an incentive payment for each Performance Period in the amount determined by the extent to which
his Performance Factors have been achieved under the terms of his Award.

     5.2 Limitations.

     (a) Discretionary Increase or Reduction. The Compensation Committee shall retain sole and
absolute discretion to increase or reduce the amount of any incentive payment otherwise payable to
any Participant under this Plan, but may not increase the payment to any Named Executive for any
Performance Period.

     (b) Continued Employment. Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, no
incentive payment under this Plan with respect to a Performance Period shall be paid or owed to a
Participant whose employment terminates prior to the last day of such Performance Period. In the
event that a Participant dies, becomes permanently disabled, or is terminated by the Company
without cause, during the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee may, but shall not be
obligated to, provide for the payment of an appropriate portion (as determined by the Compensation
Committee in its sole discretion) of such Participant’s Award for the Performance Period.

     (c) Maximum Payments. No Participant shall receive a payment under this Plan for any
Performance Period in excess of $2,000,000.00.

     6. Benefit Payments. Time and Form of Payments. All payments of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall be made not
later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the Performance Period;
provided that the Compensation Committee may permit Participants to elect to defer payment of their
Awards pursuant to a deferred compensation plan established by the Company that satisfies the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code. All such deferral elections shall be made not later than
the last day immediately prior to the commencement of the Performance Period, and shall be
irrevocable, except as otherwise provided by the terms of such deferred compensation plan and
permitted by Section 409A; provided that the Compensation Committee may permit a deferral election
to be made either within thirty (30) days after a Participant first becomes eligible to participate
in any elective deferred compensation plan of the Company (in which event the election shall apply
only to the portion of the Award earned after the date of the election), or not later than six (6)
months prior to the end of the Performance Period if the Compensation Committee determines (taking
into account the terms of any employment or other agreement that may affect the payment of the
Award) that an Award constitutes qualified performance based compensation for purposes of Section
409A.

     6.2 Nontransferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, no
right to any incentive payment hereunder, whether payable in cash, shares or other property, shall
be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution;
provided, however, that if so determined by the Compensation Committee, a Participant may, in the
manner established by the Compensation Committee

5

 

designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any cash, shares or property hereunder upon the
death of the Participant. No right to any incentive payment hereunder may be pledged, attached or
otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and
unenforceable against the Company.

     6.3 Tax Withholding. In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income, social
security, payroll, withholding or other tax laws or regulations, the Compensation Committee may
establish such policy or policies as it deems appropriate with respect to such laws and
regulations, including without limitation, the establishment of policies to ensure that all
applicable federal or state income, social security, payroll, withholding or other taxes, which are
the sole and absolute responsibility of the Participant, are withheld or collected from such
Participant.

     7. Amendment and Termination; Adjustments. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in
the Plan:

     (a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company may amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue or terminate the Plan, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, except
that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made that,
absent such approval, would violate the rules or regulations of NASDAQ or the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. that are applicable to the Company, or cause Awards granted to Named
Executives to fail to qualify as qualified performance based compensation for purposes of Section
162(m) of the Code.

     (b) Waivers of Incentive Payment Conditions or Rights. The Compensation Committee may waive
any conditions of or rights of the Company under any right to an incentive payment hereunder,
prospectively or retroactively.

     (c) Limitation on Amendments to Incentive Payment Rights. Neither the Compensation Committee
nor the Company may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any rights to an incentive
payment, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of the Participant or holder or
beneficiary thereof, except as otherwise herein provided.

     (d) Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Compensation Committee may
correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner
and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

     8. Miscellaneous. Effective Date. This Plan shall be deemed effective, subject to shareholder approval, as
of the date on which it is approved by the Board of Directors of Littelfuse.

     8.2 Term of the Plan. Unless the Plan shall have been discontinued or terminated, the Plan
shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the date on which it is approved by the shareholders of
Littelfuse. No right to receive an incentive payment shall be granted after the termination of the
Plan. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, any right to receive an incentive
payment theretofore granted may extend beyond the termination of the Plan,

6

 

and the authority of the
Board of Directors and Compensation Committee to amend or otherwise administer the Plan shall
extend beyond the termination of the Plan.

     8.3 Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a
convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or
relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

     8.4 Applicability to Successors. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company and each Participant, the successors and assigns of the Company, and the beneficiaries,
personal representatives and heirs of each Participant. If the Company becomes a party to any
merger, consolidation or reorganization, this Plan shall remain in full force and effect as an
obligation of the Company or its successors in interest.

     8.5 Employment Rights and Other Benefit Programs. The provisions of this Plan shall not give
any Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Company. In the absence of any
specific agreement to the contrary, this Plan shall not affect any right of the Company, or of any
affiliate of the Company, to terminate, with or without cause, any Participant’s employment at any
time. This Plan shall not replace any contract of employment, whether oral or written, between the
Company and any Participant, but shall be considered a supplement thereto. This Plan is in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other employee benefit plan or program in which any
Participant may be or become eligible to participate by reason of employment with the Company. No
compensation or benefit awarded to or realized by any Participant under the Plan shall be included
for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation under any compensation-based
retirement, disability, or similar plan of the Company unless required by law or otherwise provided
by such other plan.

     8.6 No Trust or Fund Created. This Plan shall not create or be construed to create a trust or
separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any affiliate and a
Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Company or any affiliate pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or of any affiliate.

     8.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any incentive payment
payable under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

     8.8 Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended
without, in the determination of the Compensation Committee, materially altering the purpose or
intent of the Plan, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, and the remainder of
the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

     8.9 Certain Tax Matters. All of the terms and conditions of the Plan shall be interpreted in
such a fashion as to qualify all compensation paid to a Named Executive hereunder as “qualified
performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the

7

 

Code, and so that no
payments constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code unless a Participant
elects to defer a payment pursuant to a deferred compensation plan.

     This restated Plan is hereby approved this            day of February, 2010.
