(As Amended and Restated Effective June 1, 1997)

RICHARDSON ELECTRONICS, LTD., a Delaware corporation, hereby amends the Richardson Electronics, Ltd. Employees Stock Ownership Plan, as previously amended and restated effective June 1, 1997 and as thereafter further amended (the “Plan”), as follows:

1. The following sentence is added to Section 2.1l(c) of the Plan effective for Plan Years and Limitation Years beginning after May 31, 1998:

In addition to the foregoing, “Compensation” shall include any amount which is contributed or deferred by the Employer at the election of such Participant and which is not includable in the gross income of such Participant by reason of Section 132(f)(4) of the Code.

2. The following sentence is added to Section 6.1(b) of the Plan effective June 2, 2002:

Effective for Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002, the preceding sentence shall read as follows: “The Participants who shall be eligible to receive an allocation under this Section 6.1 with respect to a Plan Year shall be limited to Participants who are Employees on the last work day of such Plan Year (including Participants who incurred a Termination of Employment on such date) and who are credited with a Year of Service for such Plan Year.”

3. Section 7.4 of the Plan is deleted and the following is substituted in its place effective June 1, 2002:

7.4 Crediting of Forfeitures

(a) Forfeitures, if any, occurring during the Plan Year pursuant to Section 18.3(d) and allocated from the Forfeiture Suspense Accounts shall be allocated among the Employer Contribution Accounts of all Participants eligible to receive an allocation of the Employer’s contribution under Section 6.1(a) in the proportion that the Compensation paid or accrued to each such Participant during such Plan Year bears to the Compensation paid or accrued to all such Participants during such Plan Year. Forfeitures to be allocated with respect to the Plan Year ending June 1, 2002 shall include the amounts treated as forfeitures pursuant to Section 18.3(g). This Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002.

(b) Forfeitures occurring in Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002 shall be used to pay the expenses of administering the Plan (including

reimbursing the Employer for such expenses paid by it) and to restore the Accounts of Participants in accordance with Section 18.3(i). Any forfeitures arising during such a Plan Year but not utilized pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the Employer Contribution Accounts of all Participants eligible to receive an allocation of the Employer’s contribution under Section 6.1(a) in the proportion that the Compensation paid or accrued to each such Participant during such Plan Year bears to the Compensation paid or accrued to all such Participants during such Plan Year.

4. Effective for distributions on or after October 17, 2000, the fourth sentence of Section 9.1(d) is deleted.

5. The following sentence is added to Section 9.8(b) of the Trust effective June 1, 2002:

This Section 9.8(b) shall not apply to dividends on Stock paid to the Trust in Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002.

6. Section 9.8(c) is added to the Plan to read as follows, effective with respect to dividends on Stock paid to the Trust in Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002:

(c) Effective with respect to dividends on Stock paid to the Trust in Plan Years beginning on or after June 2, 2002, the following procedures shall govern the distribution and reinvestment of dividends paid on Stock:

- 2 -

- 3 -

- 4 -

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there shall be subtracted from the amount distributed and the amount used to purchase additional Stock any expenses incurred by the Plan in connection with making cash distributions or purchasing Stock, as the case may be. Stock which is purchased shall be allocated to the Employer Contribution Accounts of the Part II Participants for whose benefit such Stock was purchased.

7. Sections 18.3(g) through 18.3(j) are added to the Plan to read as follows effective June 1, 2002:

(g) Section 18.3(d) shall not apply to Participants who terminate employment on or after June 2, 2002. Notwithstanding Section 18.3(d), the balances in all Forfeiture Suspense Accounts at June 1, 2002 shall be treated as forfeitures and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 7.4(a) for the Plan Year ending on said date as if all Participants as to whom such Forfeiture Suspense Accounts had been established had incurred 5 consecutive Breaks in Service on said date. In the event any Participant described in the preceding sentence returns to the employment of the Employer or any Related Employer on or after June 2, 2002 and before incurring 5 consecutive Breaks in Service, there shall be credited to his Employer Contribution Account (by using accumulated forfeitures for this purpose and thereafter, to the extent necessary, by means of a special contribution from Employer for this purpose) the amount which had been transferred to his Forfeiture Suspense Account.

(h) If a Participant terminates his employment on or after June 2, 2002, any portion of his Account (including any amounts credited after his

- 5 -

termination of employment) not payable to him under Section 9.1 shall be forfeited by him upon the complete distribution to him of the vested portion of his Account, if any, subject to the possibility of reinstatement as described in Section 18.3(i). For purposes of this Section 18.3(h), if the value of a Participant’s Vested Account Balance is zero, he shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his vested interest immediately following termination of employment. All amounts so forfeited shall be held in a short-term interest-bearing bank account or in a money market mutual fund pending disposition in accordance with Section 7.4(b).

(i) If a Participant forfeits any portion of his Account under Section 18.3(h) but again becomes an Employee after such date, the amount so forfeited shall be re-credited to his Account, but only if he repays to the Plan (without interest) the amount previously distributed to him under Section 9.1, before the earlier of:

(1) 5 years after the date of his re-employment; or

(2) The date he incurs 5 consecutive Breaks in Service following the date of the distribution.

If a Participant is deemed to have received a distribution pursuant to Section 18.3(h) and resumes employment before 5 consecutive Breaks in Service, he shall be deemed to have repaid such distribution on the date of his re-employment. Upon such an actual or deemed repayment, the provisions of the Plan shall thereafter apply as if no forfeiture had occurred. The amount to be re-credited pursuant to this Section 18.3(i) shall be derived first from the forfeitures, if any, which as of the date of re-crediting have yet to be applied as provided in Section 7.4(b) and, to the extent such forfeitures are insufficient, from a special contribution to be made by the Employer for this purpose.

(j) If a Participant elects not to receive the vested portion of his Account following his termination of employment, the non-vested portion of his Account shall be forfeited after the Participant has incurred 5 consecutive Breaks in Service. The amount so forfeited shall be held in a short-term interest-bearing bank account or in a money market mutual fund pending disposition in accordance with Section 7.4(b).
