FIRST AMENDMENT TO NOTE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT dated as of June 25, 2019 (the or this “First Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 15, 2018 is among Plexus Corp., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Company”), and each of the institutions which is a signatory to this First Amendment (collectively, the “Noteholders”).
RECITALS:
A.    The Company and each of the Noteholders have heretofore entered into the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 15, 2018 (the “Note Agreement”). The Company has heretofore issued (i) $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.05% Series A Senior Notes due June 15, 2025 (the “Series A Notes”) and (ii) $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.22% Series B Senior Notes due June 15, 2028 (the “Series B Notes”; and together with the Series A Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Note Agreement. The Noteholders are the holders of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
B.    The Company and the Noteholders now desire to amend the Note Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth.
C.    Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.
D.    All requirements of law have been fully complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this First Amendment a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this First Amendment set forth in §3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Noteholders do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.
AMENDMENTS.
Section 1.1.    Section 22.2 of the Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 22.2.    Accounting Terms. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner






consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.5, except that any calculation or determination which is to be made on a consolidated basis shall be made for the Company and all of its Subsidiaries, including those Subsidiaries, if any, which are unconsolidated on the Company’s audited financial statements; provided, however that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value,” as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Agreement, and the Company or the Required Holders shall so request, the Company and the Required Holders shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Holders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and the Company shall provide to the holders of Notes reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.
