THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
WITH XXXXXX X. X’XXXXXXX
DATED OCTOBER 21, 2005
The parties to this Amendment, dated as of March 10, 2006 (the “Amendment Date”), are Artesyn
Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxx X. X’Xxxxxxx (the
“Executive”). The Company and the Executive are parties to a Third Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2005 (the “Existing Agreement”). The Company and the Executive
desire to remove restrictions under the terms of the Existing Agreement on the Executive seeking
potential employment with another entity. Unless otherwise defined herein, defined terms used in
this Amendment have the same meaning as such terms in the Existing Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties, for good and valuable consideration and intending to be legally
bound, agree that the Existing Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Effective as of the Amendment Date, the second sentence of Section 1.3 of the Existing
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and that Section, as amended, shall read as follows:
1.3 Full-Time Position. The Executive hereby agrees that, during the
Employment Term he shall devote all of his business time, attention and skills to the
business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, except during vacation time as
provided by Section 3.3 hereof and any periods of illness. Subject to the foregoing,
nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Executive from (i) managing his personal
investments, personal business affairs and other personal matters, (ii) serving on the
boards of directors of companies that do not compete directly or indirectly with the
Company, (iii) serving on civic or charitable boards or committees or (iv) delivering
lectures, fulfilling speaking engagements or teaching at educational institutions;
provided, that none of such activities, either singly or in the aggregate,
interfere with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. The Executive must
receive approval of the Board prior to assuming any other directorships. It is hereby
acknowledged that the Executive has received the necessary approvals to serve as a member
of the Board of Directors of Parametric Technology Corporation.
2. Except as specifically amended in this Amendment, the terms of the Existing Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.
3. This Amendment and the Existing Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings of the parties hereto, oral and written, including all prior employment agreements.
Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, other than as contained herein, no other
representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made, expressly or impliedly, by the
other party hereto.
4. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by each of the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and this Amendment shall become
effective when one or more counterparts has been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered
to the other party hereto.
5. This Amendment will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida applicable to contracts
made and to be wholly performed therein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Amendment to the Existing Agreement on
the Amendment Date.
