<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Wyle Electronics Retirement Plan set forth herein (the &quot;Plan&quot;) was initially adopted effective February 1, 1973.  The Plan was amended and restated effective February 1, 1989 and was subsequently amended and restated effective December 17, 1993 to reflect, in each case, amendments adopted since the prior restatement, to conform with applicable statutes and regulatory requirements, and to make other changes deemed desirable in order to effect the purposes of the Plan.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan is hereby further restated to incorporate amendments adopted through December 31, 2000 and in order to make changes deemed necessary or advisable to comply with changes in applicable law, including those necessary to comply with the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (also referred to as GATT), the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, as well as other amendments determined by the Company to be appropriate to further the purposes of the Plan, effective as of the dates required by such provisions of law or as expressly set forth, provided that clarifications of existing provisions are effective as of the same dates as the provisions which they clarify.  References herein to Paragraphs whose numbering has changed since the prior Plan restatement shall, where the context so requires, refer to corresponding Paragraphs of the Plan as previously in effect.

Furthermore, compensation for those personnel who are compensated on a commission basis and who are required to pay their own expenses from such commissions shall be an amount equal to the total commissions paid or accrued to such personnel.

The family aggregation rules in effect prior to January 1, 1997 are repealed as of that date.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect only to each Participant who is a Section 401(a)(17) Employee as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(17)-1(e)(2)(i), the preceding provisions of this subparagraph shall be applied so that such Participant's accrued benefit in each Year, commencing with the Year beginning February&nbsp;1, 1989 (the statutory effective date as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(17)-1(d)(1)(i)), shall consist of the greater of (A) the Participant's Section 401(a)(17) frozen accrued benefit, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(17)-1(e)(2)(iv), plus the Participant's accrued benefit determined under the formula applicable to benefit accruals in the current Plan Year as applied to Years of service after the Section 401(a)(17) fresh start date (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(17)-1(e)(2)(ii), or (B) the greater of (i) the Participant's Section 401(a)(17) frozen accrued benefit, as defined hereinbefore, or (ii) the benefit calculated under the terms of the Plan as though the provisions of Code Section 401(a)(17) had always been in force.</P>

</B></U><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.18&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><U>Hours of Service</U>.</B>  Whenever Hours of Service shall be taken into account in determining the rights or benefits hereunder with respect to any employee, such hours shall be computed in accordance with the following rules:</A></A></A></A></A></A></A></P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An Hour of Service is each hour for which an employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to payment, by an Employer or Affiliate for the performance of duties during the applicable computation period.  These hours shall be credited for the computation period or periods in which the duties were performed.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An Hour of Service is each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, has been either awarded or agreed to by the Employer or Affiliate.  These hours shall be credited for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award, agreement or payment is made.  Hours shall not be credited under both subparagraph (a) and this subparagraph (b).  Thus, for example, an employee who receives a back pay award following a determination that he or she was paid at an unlawful rate for Hours of Service previously credited will not be entitled to additional credit for the same Hours of Service.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An Hour of Service is, in addition to Hours of Service as defined in subparagraphs (a) and (b), each hour for which an employee is directly or indirectly paid, or entitled to such payment, by an Employer or Affiliate for reasons (such as vacation, sickness or Disability) other than for the performance of duties during the applicable computation period.  For purposes of this subparagraph (c), irrespective of whether these hours have accrued in other computation periods, these hours shall be counted in the computation period in which either payment is actually made or amounts payable to the Employee come due.  Thus, an employee who does not perform duties during a computation period because of a prolonged illness which is compensable by sick pay, whether previously or currently accrued, would be credited currently with Hours of Service irrespective of whether the sick pay was actually paid.  For purposes of this subparagraph (c), Hours of Service shall be determined by dividing the payments received or due for reasons other than the performance of duties by the lesser of:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employee's most recent hourly rate of compensation for the performance of duties; or</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employee's average hourly rate of compensation for performance of duties for the most recent computation period in which the employee completed more than five hundred Hours of Service.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The method of determining the number of Hours of Service to be credited and to which computation period hours will be credited for periods during which no duties are performed shall be in conformity with Sections 2530.200b-2(b), (c), and (f) of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When it shall be necessary to calculate Hours of Service for any employee who is not compensated on an hourly basis, such employee shall be credited with forty-five hours for each week during which such employee shall have been directly or indirectly compensated by an Employer or Affiliate or shall have been performing duties for an Employer or Affiliate.  Such employee shall also be credited with Hours of Service for designated absences in the same manner as provided herein with respect to hourly Employees.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Participant who separates from service with an Employer after January 1, 1989 with a vested right to benefits hereunder shall be entitled to a minimum retirement income of $50.00 a month (if paid as a single life annuity commencing at Normal Retirement Date).</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The term &quot;Primary Insurance Amount&quot; shall mean the monthly primary old-age insurance benefit available to a Participant at age sixty-five under the provisions of Title II of the Social Security Act in effect at the earliest of his termination of employment, attainment of  age sixty-five or December 31, 2000, without regard to any increases in the Social Security wage base or benefit levels that take effect after the earliest of such dates.  If an Employee terminates employment prior to age sixty-five, his Primary Insurance Amount shall be estimated by assuming continuation of his annual compensation (taking into account the compensation described in subparagraph (c) of Paragraph 2.16) until age sixty-five in the same amount as his annual Compensation for the Plan Year in which the date of his termination of employment occurs.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing in calculating the amount of offset, a Participant's actual wage history shall be used to the extent that it is available.  If such actual wage record shall not be available for all or any part of the Participant's history of employment, an estimated wage history shall be used for those periods with respect to which the actual wage history is not available.  Such estimated wages shall be calculated in conformity with any regulations or rulings that may be applicable.  Furthermore, any offset calculated on the basis of an entirely or partially estimated salary history shall be recalculated on the basis of the actual salary history, if the Participant shall provide the Company with documentation of his actual salary history within a reasonable time, but not more than nine months, after the later of the date on which he is separated from the service of his Employer or is notified of the amount of his benefit.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sum of ninety thousand dollars or such greater amount as may be specified by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue pursuant to Code Section 415(d) for the calendar year within which the last day of the Plan Year falls; provided, however, that if the current accrued benefit of a Participant hereunder as of January 31, 1983 shall have exceeded ninety thousand dollars, the amount of such current accrued benefit shall be substituted for the sum of ninety thousand dollars in applying only to the interest of such Participant hereunder the provisions of this Paragraph 6.3 and the provisions of Paragraph 6.4.  The term &quot;current accrued benefit&quot; means such Participant's accrued benefit, expressed as an annual benefit (within the meaning of Section 415(b)(2) of the Code as in effect immediately before enactment of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (hereinafter &quot;TEFRA&quot;), without taking into account any changes in the terms and conditions of the Plan after July 1, 1983, or any cost-of-living adjustment occurring after July 1, 1983.</P>

In determining actuarial equivalents under the preceding sentence, the interest rate assumption shall not be less than five percent (5%) per year ; provided, that in the case of a lump sum distribution on or after July 7, 1995, the annual interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities, as specified by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for purposes of Section 417(e) of the Code, for the second month preceding the first day of the Plan year in which the Participant's distribution is to be made or begin shall apply in lieu of five percent (5%) per year.  Effective July 7, 1995, the mortality assumption shall be determined according to the table prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for purposes of section 417(e) of the Code.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><U>Adjustment for Early Retirement</U>.</B>  If the retirement benefit of a Participant commences before the Participant's Social Security Retirement Age, the benefit payable shall not exceed the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation reduced (i) in the case of a Participant whose Social Security Retirement Age is sixty-five (65) years, by five-ninths (5/9) of one percent (1%) for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains sixty-five (65) years of age or (ii) in the case of a Participant whose Social Security Retirement Age is greater than sixty-five (65) years, by five-ninths (5/9) of one percent (1%) for each of the first thirty-six (36) months and five-twelfths (5/12) of one percent (1%) for each of the additional months (up to twenty-four (24)) by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains his or her Social Security Retirement Age.  If the benefit begins before the Participant attains sixty-two (62) years of age, the benefit shall be limited to the actuarial equivalent of the Participant's limitation for benefits commencing at sixty-two (62) years of age, with the reduced dollar limitation for such benefits further reduced for each month by which benefits commence before the month in which the Participant attains sixty-two years of age. Effective July 7, 1995, actuarial equivalents for this purpose shall be determined by using which of the following two actuarial factors produce the lower maximum benefit:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The factor determined by an interest rate assumption of five percent (5%) per year and the mortality assumption determined according to the table prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for purposes of Section 417(e) of the Code.  </P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The factor determined by multiplying the number of months by which the Participant's Early Retirement Date (as described in Section 4.2) precedes his sixty-second birthday by one-twelfth of five percent.  </P>

<P>The Social Security Retirement Age is age sixty-five (65) if the Participant was born before January 1, 1938, sixty-six (66) years of age if born before January 1, 1955, and sixty-seven (67) years of age if born after December 31, 1954. </P>

Effective July 7, 1995, equivalency shall be based an interest rate assumption of five percent (5%) per year and the mortality assumption shall be determined according to the table prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for purposes of Section 417(e) of the Code.</P>

In making such calculation the aggregate amount of annual additions for Plan Years before January 1, 1976, shall not exceed the maximum amount of such additions which could have been made under Section 415(c) for such Years.  Furthermore, the Committee may calculate the Defined Contribution Plan fraction for any Participant by applying either or both transitional rules specified in Section 415(e)(6) of the Code or Section 235(g)(3) of TEFRA.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of computing the Defined Contribution Plan fraction of Section 415(e)(1) of the Code, &quot;Annual Addition&quot; shall mean the amount allocated to a Participant's account during the Limitation Year as a result of:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employer contributions,</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee contributions,</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeitures, and</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts described in Sections 415(1)(l) and 419A(d)(2) of the Code.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Annual Addition for any Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987 shall not be recomputed to treat all Employee Contributions as an Annual Addition.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Plan satisfied the applicable requirements of Section 415 of the Code as in effect for all Limitation Years beginning before January 1, 1987, an amount shall be subtracted from the numerator of the Defined Contribution Plan fraction (not exceeding such numerator) as prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury so that the sum of the Defined Benefit Plan fraction and Defined Contribution Plan fraction computed under Section 415(e)(1) of the Code (as revised by this subparagraph (c)) does not exceed 1.0 for such Limitation Year.  </P>

</B><P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan shall be considered to be top-heavy in any Year if as of the determination date the present value of all benefits of Key Employees (as defined in Section (e) hereof ) under this Plan and all other Plans in the aggregation group as defined herein shall exceed sixty percent (60%) of a similar sum determined for all Employees under such plans.  Effective July 7, 1995, in determining the present value of benefits, the actuarial assumptions shall be those in effect on the determination date for purposes of applying the provisions of Code Section 417(e)(3).  The determination date for any Year is the last day of the preceding Year.  The Aggregation Group shall consist of this Plan, each other Plan maintained by the Employer in which a Key Employee shall be a Participant, and any other Plan the maintenance of which is necessary to permit this Plan or any Plan in which a Key Employee is a Participant to satisfy the provision of Section 410 or 401(a)(4) of the Code.  In particular, any distribution to an Employee during the five-year period ending on the determination date shall be taken into account in determining the accrued benefit of such Employee, as provided in Section 416(g)(3) of the Code; any rollover contribution made after December 31, 1983 will not be taken into account in determining whether the Plan is top-heavy, as provided in Section 416(g)(4)(A) of said Code; and the accrued benefit or account balance of any former Key Employee who is no longer a Key Employee shall not be taken into account as provided in Section 416(g)(4)(B) of said Code.</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In determining the amount of benefits to be taken into account under the provisions of the first sentence of this Section, the present value of benefits shall be calculated under the actuarial assumptions used in determining the funding requirements of the Plan; the valuation shall be as of the last valuation date which is within a twelve-month period ending on the determination date; the rules set forth in Paragraphs (3) and (4) of Section 416(g) of the Code shall be followed; and the accrued benefit of an Employee other than a Key Employee (within the meaning of Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) shall be determined under (a) the method, if any, that uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all plans maintained by the Affiliates, or (b) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional accrual rate of Section 411(b)(1)(c) of the Code.  If the Plan shall be top-heavy in any Year, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provisions hereof:</P>

A long-term Employee is any Employee who was a Participant during a Year in which the Plan was top-heavy and who, as of the first day of the Year with respect to which the top-heavy restrictions shall have become inapplicable, shall have completed at least five Years of Vesting Credit Service.
