c.                                            In addition to your base salary, you will be entitled to participate in Sanmina-SCI incentive compensation bonus plans for senior executive officers. The specific amount will be based on the operating plan approved by the Board of Directors in September 2004 and pursuant to the Executive Short Term Incentive Plan at your level. This bonus will be dependent upon Sanmina-SCI’s achievement of financial performance criteria established for such bonus plan by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors as well your fulfillment of individual performance objectives which will be established by the Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers in consultation with the compensation committee. You may also be granted stock bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the compensation committee.

Participation in any such plan shall be consistent with your rate of compensation to the extent that compensation is a determinative factor with respect to coverage under any such plan.

Sanmina-SCI shall reimburse you for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by you in the performance of your services on behalf of the company, upon authorization and approval in accordance with Sanmina-SCI’s expense reimbursement policy in effect at this time.

4. Stock Options. You will also be granted a stock option grant of 250,000 (two hundred fifty thousand) shares at the closing price of the stock which will be set within the first few weeks of your start date. One fifth of the shares subject to your stock option will be exercisable after one year of service, and thereafter the remaining shares will become exercisable

in equal installments of 1/48, or 4,167 shares per month. The option will have a term of 10 years. Other terms of your stock option will be set forth in a definitive stock option agreement between you and the Company. In addition to the foregoing, you will be eligible for an additional stock option grant at the next scheduled review of executive compensation. That review is currently scheduled for October 2004, subject to your performance and the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In addition you will receive a 100,000 (one hundred thousand) share restricted stock award, which shall entitle you to purchase such shares as $.01 per share.
