In order to provide additional incentive through stock ownership for certain officers and key employees of Plexus Corp. (the Corporation) and its subsidiaries, you (the Grantee) are hereby granted a Stock Appreciation Right (SAR) effective as of (the Grant Date), with respect to shares of the Corporations Common Stock at a grant price per share of $ (the Grant Price).
This SAR is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plexus Corp. 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. This SAR shall become exercisable as follows:
Years After | Percentage of Grant | |||
Grant Date | Which May Be Exercised | |||
Less than 1 | 0 | % | ||
1 but less than 2 | Fifty percent (50%) | |||
2 or more | One hundred percent (100%) |
This SAR will lapse after seven (7) years from the Grant Date and thus may not be exercised thereafter. No part of this SAR is transferable or assignable, in whole or in part, unless otherwise provided for in the Plan.
You may exercise this SAR provided that it meets all vesting requirements, by logging on to www.etrade.com/stockplans or by calling E*Trade at ###-###-#### in the U.S. or ###-###-#### outside the U.S. The website provides you with detailed instructions on how to exercise SARs as well as other relevant information pertaining to your grant. Keep in mind that if you are considered an insider you are subject to blackout restrictions which may prevent exercise during certain time periods referred to as the blackout period. If you are considered an insider you have been notified of the restrictions via email.
Upon exercise, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (a) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value per share on the exercise date over the Grant Price per share of the SAR, multiplied by (b) the number of SARs being exercised pursuant to such notice, divided by (c) the Fair Market Value per share on the exercise date.
This SAR shall terminate on the date you cease to be employed by the Corporation or its subsidiaries, except that (i) during the ninety day period following the date of such termination of employment and if such termination is not for cause, you shall be entitled to exercise the SAR granted hereunder to the extent such SAR was exercisable on the date of the termination of your
employment, (ii) during the one-year period following the date of termination of employment due to permanent disability or death, you or your representative shall be entitled to exercise the SAR granted hereunder to the extent such SAR was exercisable on the date of the termination of your employment due to permanent disability or death (to the extent not previously exercised) and (iii) during the three-year period following the date of your retirement in accordance with normal Corporation retirement practices, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, you shall be entitled to exercise the SAR granted hereunder to the extent such SAR was exercisable on the date of your retirement (to the extent not previously exercised). Such ninety day, one-year or three-year period shall not, however, extend the term of any SAR beyond the date such SAR would otherwise have lapsed.
Prior to the exercise of an SAR you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences thereof. No shares shall be issued upon exercise of an SAR until withholding taxes, if any, and any other withholding obligation, if any, have been satisfied (as applicable). The Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Board (the Committee) may provide that, if and to the extent withholding of any federal, state or local tax is required in connection with the exercise of an SAR, the Grantee may elect, at such time and in such manner as the Committee may prescribe, to satisfy this withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Corporation withhold shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum marginal total tax which could be imposed on the transaction.
Under applicable securities laws, you may not be able to sell any shares for a period of time after your purchase, and you must comply with the Companys Insider Trading Restrictions and Policies. The Corporations counsel should be consulted on your ability to sell your shares under the 1934 Act.
The Plan provides that no SAR may be exercised unless the Plan is in full compliance with all laws and regulations applicable thereto.
No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement, in whole or in part, shall be binding unless consented to in writing by the Corporation and no amendment may cause any Grantee to be unfavorably affected with respect to any SAR already granted hereunder.
Neither the establishment of, nor the awarding of SARs under this Plan shall be construed to create a contract of employment between any Grantee and the Corporation or its subsidiaries; nor does it give any Grantee the right to continue in the employment of the Corporation or its subsidiaries or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to discharge any Grantee at any time and without notice, with or without cause, or to any benefits not specifically provided by this Plan, or in any manner modify the Corporations right to establish, modify, amend or terminate any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit plans.
