Gentlemen:
Plexus Corp., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), hereby agrees with
each of you as follows:
1. Definitions. Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of June 15, 2000, as amended to date (the "Credit
Agreement"), between the Company and each of you pursuant to which the Company
has issued its Line of Credit Notes dated June 15, 2000 (the "Original Notes").
All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to such terms by the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
2. Background. The Company has requested that the Aggregate Line
Commitment under the Credit Agreement be increased on a temporary basis from
$50,000,000 to $80,000,000 through December 31, 2000. On January 1, 2001, the
Aggregate Line Commitment under the Credit Agreement will automatically decrease
to $50,000,000. The Banks have agreed to such temporary increase subject to all
of the terms and conditions of this Amendment. Any additional Line of Credit
Loans made from the date hereof through December 31, 2000, pursuant to the
Credit Agreement as amended hereby, together with the unpaid balance of the
Original Notes, shall be evidenced by new promissory notes of the Company in the
form of Exhibit 1.4 to the Credit Agreement (the "Temporary Notes"), dated as of
the date hereof, in the aggregate principal amount of $80,000,000. The
Temporary Notes shall each be in the principal amount of each Bank's respective
Line Commitment and shall be executed by the Company and delivered to the Banks
against the return of the Original Notes to the Company. Accrued interest, if
any, on the Original Notes outstanding on the date of issuance of the Temporary
Notes shall be included in the interest due on the Temporary Notes on the first
interest payment date specified therein or
2
in the Credit Agreement. On January 1, 2001, the Aggregate Line Commitment
under the Credit Agreement will automatically decrease to $50,000,000. Promptly
after January 1, 2001, the Company shall execute and deliver new promissory
notes in the form of Exhibit 1.4 to the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 1,
2001, in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the "New Notes"). The
New Notes shall be issued in replacement of the Temporary Notes and shall be
executed by the Company and delivered to the Banks against the return of the
Temporary Notes to the Company. Accrued interest, if any, on the Temporary
Notes outstanding on January 1, 2001, shall be included in the interest due on
the New Notes upon the first interest payment date specified therein or in the
Credit Agreement.
3. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Credit Agreement shall be amended, as of the date first
written above, as follows:
(a) All references to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement and in
any other agreements relating thereto shall refer to the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby.
(b) All references in the Credit Agreement to the Line of Credit Notes
issued thereunder and the loans evidenced thereby shall refer to the Temporary
Notes or New Notes, as the case may be, issued hereunder and the loans
evidenced thereby (including the unpaid balance of the Temporary Notes or
Original Notes).
(c) Section 1.4 is amended and restated as follows:
Line of Credit. From time to time prior to June 15, 2001 or the
earlier termination in full of the Commitments (in either case the "Line
Termination Date"), and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Company may obtain loans from each of the Banks ("Line of
Credit Loans"), pro rata according to each Bank's Percentage Interest of
the Aggregate Line Commitment, up to the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Line
Commitment (and as to each Bank's respective Percentage Interest thereof,
its "Line Commitment"), as terminated or reduced pursuant to Section 1.11,
or (ii) the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceeds the sum of (A)
the outstanding principal amount of all Line of Credit Loans and Swingline
Loans, (B) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, and (C)
the aggregate face amount of outstanding Commercial Paper; provided,
however, that no Bank shall be required to make Line of Credit Loans in
excess of its Line Commitment. From the Effective Date through December
31, 2000, the Aggregate Line Commitment shall be $80,000,000 and the Line
