1. Equity Grant. Subject to the provisions set forth herein and the terms of the 2000
Molex Long-Term Stock Plan (“Plan”), the terms of which are incorporated by reference, and in
consideration of the agreements of Executive herein provided, Molex grants to Executive a

3. Effect of Termination of Employment, Death or Disability. The vesting of the
Restricted Stock may be accelerated upon the death, total disablement or retirement of Executive
pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Restricted Stock will be canceled immediately upon the
termination of employment of Executive if such termination is not caused by the Executive’s death,
total disablement or retirement pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
4. Restrictions.
(a) Non-Compete. In consideration of Molex granting the Restricted Stock, Executive
agrees that during employment with Molex and for two years after separation from service thereof,
Executive will not, directly or indirectly, as a principal, officer, director, employee or in any
other capacity whatsoever, without prior written consent of Molex, engage in any activity with, or
provide services to, any person or entity engaged in, or about to engage in, any business activity
that is competitive with the business then engaged in by Molex, in any geographic area in which
Molex’s business is then conducted. Executive may make or hold any investment in securities of a
competitive business traded on a national securities exchange or traded in the over the counter
market, provided the investment does not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding stock of the
competitive business.
(b) Non-Solicitation. During employment with Molex and for two years after separation
from service, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire, solicit or make an offer to any
employee of Molex to be employed or perform services outside of Molex, (ii) solicit for competitive
business purposes any customer of Molex; or (iii) solicit, induce or attempt to induce any customer
of Molex to cease doing business in whole or in part with or through Molex.
(c) Competitors. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “competitor” means a person
or entity who or which is engaged in a material line of business conducted by Molex in any
geographic area in which Molex’s business is conducted (for purposes of this Agreement, “a material
line of business conducted by Molex” means an activity generating gross
revenues to Molex of more than US$15 million in the immediately preceding fiscal year of Molex).
(d) Forfeiture. Executive agrees that, if any provision of Sections 5 (a) or (b) is
breached as determined by Molex, Executive shall forfeit, upon written notice to such effect from
Molex: (i) all right, title and interest to the Restricted Stock (whether vested or unvested); (ii)
any Stock issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock then owned by Executive; and (iii) any and
all profits realized by Executive pursuant to any sales or transfers of any Stock underlying the
Restricted Stock within the 24 month period prior to the date of such breach. For purposes of this
Agreement, “profit” is defined as the difference between the fair market value of the Stock on the

its transfer agent with respect to the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock, and Molex further
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Executive of any fees and expenses (including

this Restricted Stock, Executive hereby consents to a deduction from any amounts Molex owes to
Executive from time to time (including amounts owed to Executive as compensation as well as any
other amounts owed to Executive by Molex) to the extent of any amounts that Executive owes Molex
hereunder. Whether or not Molex elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if Molex does not
recover by means of set-off the full amount Executive owes to Molex, calculated as set forth above,
Executive agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to Molex.
(e) Injunctive Relief. In addition, Molex shall have the right and remedy to have the
provisions of this Agreement enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction by injunction,
restraining order, specific performance or other equitable relief in favor of Molex, it being
acknowledged and agreed that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Executive will
cause irreparable injury to Molex and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to
Molex.
(f) Blue Penciling. If any provision of Sections 5 (a) or (b), or any part thereof,
are held to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have
the power to revise or modify such provision to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law and, in its revised or modified form, said provision shall then be enforceable.
