PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
January 19, 2006
 
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
General
      The enclosed Proxy is solicited on behalf of Jabil Circuit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jabil”), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, January 19, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Annual Meeting will be held in the Sunset Ballroom at the Renaissance Vinoy Golf Club located at 600 Snell Isle Boulevard, St. Petersburg, Florida 33704. Jabil’s principal executive office is located at 10560 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, and its telephone number at that location is (727) 577-9749.
      These Proxy solicitation materials, together with Jabil’s 2005 Annual Report to Stockholders, were mailed on or about December 16, 2005 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Record Date
      Stockholders of record at the close of business on November 28, 2005 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 204,882,289 shares of Jabil’s common stock were issued and outstanding. For information regarding security ownership by management and by the beneficial owners of more than 5% of Jabil’s common stock, see “Other Information-Share Ownership by Principal Stockholders and Management.” The closing sales price of Jabil’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Record Date was $32.68 per share.
Revocability of Proxies
      Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to Jabil’s Secretary a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (or voting via the Internet at a later date) or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
Voting and Solicitation
      Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
      The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Jabil. In addition, Jabil may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of Jabil’s directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone, telegram, letter or facsimile. Jabil has engaged The Proxy Advisory Group of Strategic Stock Surveillance, LLC, to assist in the solicitation of proxies and to provide related advice and informational support, for a services fee and the reimbursement of customary disbursements that are not expected to exceed $15,000 in the aggregate.


Table of Contents

Quorum; Abstentions; Broker Non-Votes
      A majority of the shares of Jabil common stock outstanding on the Record Date must be present or represented at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions (votes “withheld”) and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is present and voting, the nine nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present or represented and entitled to be voted for them shall be elected as directors. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors in Proposal 1. The approval of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting together with the affirmative vote of a majority of the required quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes can have the effect of preventing approval of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 where the number of affirmative votes, although a majority of the votes cast, does not constitute a majority of the required quorum. If you own shares through a broker, you must instruct your broker how to vote in order for your vote to be counted.
Voting Results
      Votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.
Voting Electronically via the Internet
      For Shares Directly Registered in the Name of the Stockholder. Stockholders with shares registered directly with EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (“EquiServe”), Jabil’s transfer agent, may vote by mailing in the proxy or on the Internet at the following address on the World Wide Web: http://www.eproxyvote.com/jbl. Specific instructions to be followed by any registered stockholder interested in voting via the Internet are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Votes submitted via the Internet by a registered stockholder must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 18, 2006.
      For Shares Registered in the Name of a Brokerage or Bank. A number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in a program for shares held in “street name” that offers Internet voting options. This program is different from the program provided by EquiServe for shares registered in the name of the stockholder. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank participating in the street name program, you may have already been offered the opportunity to elect to vote using the Internet. Votes submitted via the Internet through the street name program must be received by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on January 18, 2006. The giving of such a proxy will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.
      These Internet voting procedures, which comply with Delaware law, are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to vote their shares and to confirm that stockholders’ votes have been recorded properly. Stockholders voting via the Internet through either of these voting procedures should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, that must be borne by the stockholders. Also, please be aware that Jabil is not involved in the operation of either of these Internet voting procedures and cannot take responsibility for any access or Internet service interruptions that may occur or any inaccuracies, erroneous or incomplete information that may appear.
      You may elect to receive future notices of meetings, proxy materials and annual reports electronically via the Internet, if then made available by Jabil. If you have previously consented to electronic delivery, your consent will remain in effect until withdrawn. If you have not yet enrolled in Jabil’s Internet delivery program, we strongly encourage you to do so as it is a cost-effective way for Jabil to send you proxy statement and annual report materials. Participation instructions are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. When next year’s proxy statement and annual report materials are available, you may be sent an e-mail telling you how to access them electronically. Please note that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) recently proposed rules regarding the electronic distribution of proxy materials on websites, as opposed to being mailed, so these procedures may change by next year.

      If you elect to access these materials via the Internet, you may still request paper copies by contacting your brokerage firm, bank or Jabil. Your participation in the new Internet program will remain in effect until you cancel your enrollment. You are free to cancel your enrollment at any time.
Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
      Proposals of stockholders of Jabil that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at Jabil’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be submitted and comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and must be received by Jabil no later than August 18, 2006 in order to be considered for possible inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. In addition, the proxy solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will confer discretionary authority to vote on any stockholder proposal presented at that meeting, unless Jabil is provided with written notice of such proposal by November 1, 2006. Any proposals must be mailed to our principal executive offices located at 10560 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716; Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Fiscal Year End
      Jabil’s fiscal year ends August 31.

Role of the Board of Directors’ Committees
      The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, and also has a committee that administers stock option plans for non-officers and non-directors.
      Audit Committee. The functions of the Audit Committee are described below under the heading “Report of the Audit Committee.” The charter of the Audit Committee was adopted on October 21, 2004, and was attached to last year’s Proxy Statement as Exhibit A, and is available in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may also be obtained upon request from Jabil’s Corporate Secretary. All of the members of the Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of SEC regulations, the listing standards of the NYSE and Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the SEC regulations and that each member has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. The Audit Committee met twelve times during fiscal year 2005.
      Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and implementing policies and practices relating to corporate governance, including reviewing and monitoring implementation of Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee develops and reviews background information on candidates for the Board of Directors and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors

Table of Contents

regarding such candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors in connection with its annual review of director independence and the Board of Directors’ performance self-evaluation. The charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was adopted on October 17, 2002, and subsequently amended on October 26, 2005. The charter is available in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may also be obtained upon request from Jabil’s Corporate Secretary. All of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE and Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met five times and did not take any action by written consent during fiscal year 2005.
      Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to the compensation of Jabil’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of Jabil’s Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives, and sets the compensation level of the Chief Executive Officer based on this evaluation. The Compensation Committee is also generally empowered to administer Jabil’s 1992 Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, each with respect to all individuals. The charter of the Compensation Committee was adopted on October 17, 2002, and is available in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). A copy of this charter may also be obtained upon request from Jabil’s Corporate Secretary. All of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE and Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Compensation Committee met five times and took action by written consent two times during fiscal year 2005.
      Committee that administers stock option plans for non-officers and non-directors. The committee that administers stock option plans for non-officers and non-directors administers Jabil’s 1992 Stock Option Plan and 2002 Stock Incentive Plan with respect to individuals who are neither directors nor officers of Jabil and currently consists of Messrs. Morean and Main. This committee met four times during fiscal year 2005.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
      In October 2005, the Board of Directors enhanced its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which were originally adopted on July 17, 2003 to: (i) require that directors submit a resignation from the board as a matter of course upon their retirement, resignation or other significant change in their professional roles and responsibilities (which the Board may decline to accept); (ii) limit non-employee directors from serving on the boards of more than four public companies; and (iii) clarify that each individual director will be periodically evaluated, not just the board as a whole. The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors exceed the new listing standards adopted during 2003 by the NYSE. The full text of the Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). A copy of these guidelines may also be obtained upon request from Jabil’s Corporate Secretary.
Selection of Nominees for the Board of Directors
      One of the tasks of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to identify and recruit candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for providing a list of nominees to the Board of Directors for nomination at the annual meeting of the stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees for board membership suggested by its members and other Board of Directors members, as well as management and stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may at its discretion retain a third-party executive search firm to identify potential nominees. Jabil’s Chief Executive Officer is included, on a non-voting basis, in the process of identifying candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate a prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set out in Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account many factors in evaluating a prospective nominee, including, among other things, having integrity and being accountable, being able to exercise informed judgment, being financially literate, and having high performance standards.

      The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will give consideration to these recommendations for positions on the Board of Directors where the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not determined to re-nominate a qualified incumbent director. For each annual meeting of stockholders, the Committee will accept for consideration only one recommendation from any stockholder or affiliated group of stockholders. An affiliated group of stockholders means stockholders constituting a group under SEC Regulation 13D. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not established a minimum number of shares that a stockholder must own in order to present a nominating recommendation for consideration, or a minimum length of time during which the stockholder must own its shares, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account the size and duration of a recommending stockholder’s ownership interest in Jabil. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will only consider recommendations of nominees who satisfy the minimum qualifications prescribed from time to time by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the full Board of Directors for board candidates, including that a director must represent the interests of all stockholders and not serve for the purpose of favoring or advancing the interests of any particular stockholder group or other constituency.
      All stockholder nominating recommendations must be in writing, addressed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee care of Jabil’s Corporate Secretary at Jabil’s principal headquarters, 10560 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33716, and received by Jabil no later than August 18, 2006 in accordance with the requirements described under “Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals.” Submissions must be made by mail, courier or personal delivery. E-mailed submissions will not be considered. If a recommendation is submitted by a group of two or more stockholders, the information regarding recommending stockholders must be submitted with respect to each stockholder in the group. Acceptance of a recommendation for consideration does not imply that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will nominate the recommended candidate.
      A nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following information concerning each recommending stockholder:
  •  The name and address, including telephone number, of the recommending stockholder;
 
  •  The number of Jabil’s shares owned by the recommending stockholder and the time period for which such shares have been held;
 
  •  If the recommending stockholder is not a stockholder of record, a statement from the record holder of the shares (usually a broker or bank) verifying the holdings of the stockholder and a statement from the recommending stockholder of the length of time that the shares have been held. (Alternatively, the stockholder may furnish a current Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5 filed with the SEC reflecting the holdings of the stockholder, together with a statement of the length of time that the shares have been held); and
 
  •  A statement from the stockholder as to whether the stockholder has a good faith intention to continue to hold the reported shares through the date of Jabil’s next annual meeting of stockholders.
      A nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the following information concerning the proposed nominee:
  •  the information required by Item 401 of SEC Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure of the name, address, any arrangements or understanding regarding nomination and five-year business experience of the proposed nominee, as well as information regarding certain types of legal proceedings within the past five years involving the nominee);
 
  •  the information required by Item 403 of SEC Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure regarding the proposed nominee’s ownership of securities of Jabil);

Table of Contents

  •  the information required by Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K (generally providing for disclosure of transactions between Jabil and the proposed nominee valued in excess of $60,000 and certain other types of business relationships with Jabil);
 
  •  a description of the relationships between the proposed nominee and the recommending stockholder and any agreements or understandings between the recommending stockholder and the nominee regarding the nomination;
 
  •  a description of all relationships between the proposed nominee and any of Jabil’s competitors, customers, suppliers, labor unions or other persons with special interests regarding Jabil known to the recommending stockholder or director in Jabil’s filings with the SEC;
 
  •  a statement supporting the nominating stockholder’s view that the proposed nominee possesses the minimum qualifications prescribed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nominees or directors from time to time, including those that may be set forth in Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and briefly describing the contributions that the nominee would be expected to make to the Board of Directors and to the governance of Jabil;
 
  •  a statement as to whether, in the view of the nominating stockholder, the nominee, if elected, would represent all stockholders and not serve for the purpose of advancing or favoring any particular stockholder or other constituency of Jabil; and
 
  •  the consent of the proposed nominee to be interviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chooses to do so in its discretion (and the recommending stockholder must furnish the proposed nominee’s contact information for this purpose), and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director of Jabil.
Determinations of Director Independence
      In October 2005, the Board of Directors undertook its annual review of director independence. For a director to be considered independent, the Board of Directors must determine that the director does not have any material relationship with Jabil that falls within the eight categories below. The Board of Directors has established these categories to assist it in determining director independence, which conform to or are more exacting than the independence requirements in the NYSE listing standards. As required by the NYSE listing standards, the Board of Directors will consider all material relevant facts and circumstances known to it in making an independence determination, both from the standpoint of the director and from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors determined that two-thirds of the directors of Jabil are independent, including Lawrence S. Grafstein, Mel S. Lavitt, William D. Morean, Frank A. Newman, Steven A. Raymund and Kathleen A. Walters.
      As required by applicable law, the Board of Directors will make and publicly disclose its independence determination for each director when the director is first elected to the Board of Directors and annually thereafter for all nominees for election as directors. If the Board of Directors determines that a director who satisfies the NYSE listing standards is independent even though he or she does not satisfy all of Jabil’s independence requirements, this determination will be disclosed and explained in the next proxy statement as required by applicable law.
      A director will not be independent if the director falls within one of the following categories as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof based on facts known to it in light of the meanings ascribed to those categories under applicable NYSE guidance where applicable and otherwise by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof within its discretion:
  •  the director is employed by Jabil, or an immediate family member is an executive officer of Jabil;
 
  •  the director receives more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from Jabil, other than Director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);

Table of Contents

  •  an immediate family member of the director is employed by Jabil and receives more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from Jabil;
 
  •  the director is affiliated with or employed by Jabil’s independent auditor, or an immediate family member is affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by Jabil’s independent auditor;
 
  •  a Jabil executive is on the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of a company which employs a Jabil director, or an immediate family member of that Jabil director, as an executive officer;
 
  •  the director is an executive officer or employee, or if an immediate family member is an executive officer, of another company that does business with Jabil and the sales by that company to Jabil or purchases by that company from Jabil, in any single fiscal year during, are more than the greater of two percent of the annual revenues of that company or $1 million;
 
  •  the director is an executive officer or employee, or an immediate family member is an executive officer, of another company which is indebted for borrowed money to Jabil, or to which Jabil is indebted for borrowed money, and the total amount of either of such company’s indebtedness to the other at the end of the last completed fiscal year is more than two percent of the other company’s total consolidated assets; or
 
  •  the director serves as an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and Jabil’s discretionary charitable contributions to the organization are more than two percent of that organization’s total annual charitable receipts during its last completed fiscal year.
Board of Directors Meetings During Fiscal 2005
      The Board of Directors held a total of five meetings and took action by written consent eleven times during fiscal year 2005. All directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of Board of Directors meetings and committee meetings. The independent Chairman of the Board presides over all meetings of the Board of Directors, including the executive sessions thereof.
Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
      Jabil’s Corporate Governance Guidelines requires all directors to endeavor to attend all annual stockholders meetings, absent unanticipated personal or professional obligations which preclude them from doing so. To facilitate such attendance, Jabil endeavors to schedule a regular meeting of the Board of Directors on the same date as the Annual Meeting. All of Jabil’s directors attended the 2004 Annual Meeting, other than Kathleen A. Walters who had not yet then been elected to the Board.
Directors’ Compensation
      During the 2005 fiscal year, non-employee directors received the following annual compensation, payable quarterly: $50,000 for serving as a member of the Board of Directors; $10,000 for serving as a non-chair member of the Audit Committee; $20,000 for serving as chair of the Audit Committee; $5,000 for serving as a non-chair member of the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and $10,000 for serving as the chair of Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. No director currently receives any additional cash compensation for attendance at Board of Directors or committee meetings. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board of Directors and committee meetings. In addition, non-employee directors are also eligible to receive stock option grants pursuant to Jabil’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. For the 2005 fiscal year, each non-employee director received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock of Jabil at a price per share equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors
      Effective October 2004, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approved a process for stockholders and other certain parties to communicate directly with non-Management members of the Board

Table of Contents

of Directors. Communications to non-Management directors must be in writing and sent Certified Mail in care of Jabil’s legal department to the address of Jabil’s headquarters. All communications must be accompanied by the following information:
  •  if the person submitting the communication is a stockholder, a statement of the type and amount of shares of Jabil that the person holds;
 
  •  if the person submitting the communication is not a stockholder and is submitting the communication to the non-Management directors as an interested party, the nature of the person’s interest in Jabil;
 
  •  any special interest, meaning an interest not in the capacity of a stockholder of Jabil, of the person in the subject matter of the communication; and
 
  •  the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the person submitting the communication.
      Jabil’s legal department reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the Board of Directors copies of all correspondence that, in the opinion of Jabil’s legal department, deals with the functions of the Board of Directors or committees thereof or that Jabil’s legal department otherwise determines requires their attention. Concerns relating to accounting, internal controls or auditing matters are immediately brought to the attention of the Chairman of the Audit Committee and handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Senior Code
      Jabil has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all directors, officers and employees. In addition, Jabil has adopted a senior code of ethics entitled “Code of Ethics for the Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers of Jabil” that applies to the principal executive officer, president, principal financial officer, chief financial officer, the principal accounting officer and controller. The text of both documents can be found in the Investor Relations section of Jabil’s website (www.jabil.com). A copy of both documents may also be obtained upon request from Jabil’s Corporate Secretary. Jabil currently anticipates that in the unlikely event any waivers from its Code of Ethics for the Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers are granted, notice of any such waiver will be posted on its website.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC.
2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
      The Jabil 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors in October 2001 and approved by the stockholders in January 2002. The stockholders subsequently approved amendments to the Stock Incentive Plan in January 2004. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of both “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 Internal Revenue Code and non-statutory stock options, as well as restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards. Jabil also adopted sub-plans under the Stock Incentive Plan for its United Kingdom employees (“the CSOP Plan”) and for its French employees (“the FSOP Plan”). The CSOP Plan and FSOP Plan are tax advantaged plans for Jabil’s United Kingdom and French employees, respectively. Shares are issued under the CSOP Plan and FSOP Plan from the authorized shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. A significant portion of the most recent grants under the Stock Incentive Plan to Jabil executive officers were restricted stock awards that do not vest unless certain specified performance-based criteria are met. Jabil currently anticipates that a material portion of future grants to executive officers under the Stock Incentive Plan will also include performance-based vesting criteria.
Proposal
      The Board of Directors recently adopted amendments to the Stock Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The amendments to the Stock Incentive Plan (i) provide for a 7,000,000 share increase in the aggregate number of shares of Jabil common stock that may be subject to future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan as of the Record Date from 3,515,609 shares to 10,515,609 shares (the “Share Increase Amendment”), (ii) modify the provisions relating to the calculation of the number of shares of Jabil common stock that may be subject to future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan (the “Share Counting Amendment”), and (iii) add provisions necessary to take advantage of the “qualified performance-based compensation” exception to a compensation deduction limitation under applicable federal tax law (the “162(m) Amendment”). As of the Record Date, awards covering a total of 14,641,886 shares were outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan, CSOP Plan and FSOP Plan, and 3,515,609 shares remained available for future grants.
      The Board of Directors adopted the Share Increase Amendment, the Share Counting Amendment and the 162(m) Amendment, subject to stockholder approval. Therefore, these amendments will not become effective if the stockholders do not approve them.
        The Share Increase Amendment. The Share Increase Amendment is proposed in order to give Jabil flexibility to grant restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Jabil believes that grants of stock-based awards motivate high levels of performance and provide an effective means of recognizing employee contributions to the success of Jabil. Moreover, stock-based award grants align the interests of the employees with the interests of the stockholders. When Jabil performs well, employees are rewarded along with other stockholders. Jabil believes that stock-based award grants are of great value in recruiting and retaining highly qualified technical and other key personnel who are in great demand. The Board of Directors believes that the ability to grant stock-based awards will be important to Jabil’s future success by allowing it to remain competitive in attracting and retaining such key personnel.
 
        The 162(m) Amendment. The 162(m) Amendment modifies the Stock Incentive Plan to provide that stock appreciation rights and certain restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan generally will not be subject to the tax deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Section 162(m) of the Code prevents a publicly held corporation from claiming tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 to certain of its senior executives. The executives who are subject to the compensation deduction limitation include any individual who, as of the last day of Jabil’s taxable year, is Jabil’s chief executive officer or among the four highest compensated officers other than the chief executive officer. Compensation is exempt from

12


Table of Contents

  this limitation if it is “qualified performance-based compensation.” Stockholder approval of the material terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, is required to allow Jabil to receive tax deductions for the full amount of performance-based compensation paid to key employees in the form of stock appreciation rights and certain restricted stock awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. The material terms that must be approved include: (1) the employees eligible to receive the performance-based compensation; (2) the maximum amount of performance-based compensation that can be paid to any key employee in a specified period; and (3) with respect to restricted stock awards, the performance criteria under which the performance-based compensation will be determined.
 
        The Share Counting Amendment. The Stock Incentive Plan currently provides that any shares exchanged by a participant as payment in connection with the exercise of a stock option award or the withholding of taxes related to such an award, shall again be available for subsequent awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, the Stock Incentive Plan currently permits the calculation of the number of available shares by counting against the Stock Incentive Plan’s share limit only shares actually delivered as a result of exercise of a stock appreciation right. Under the Share Counting Amendment, shares exchanged or withheld to pay a stock option exercise price or satisfy tax withholding obligations will not be available for subsequent awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Also, the Share Counting Amendment requires that all underlying shares to which the exercise of a stock appreciation right relates be counted against the Stock Incentive Plan share limits if the stock appreciation right is settled in the form of a stock payment.
      In addition to the Share Increase Amendment, the Share Counting Amendment and the 162(m) Amendment, the Board of Directors recently adopted amendments to the Stock Incentive Plan to add provisions necessary to permit electronic administration of awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. Stockholder approval of the amendments relating to electronic administration is not required and is not requested.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
      The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of Jabil to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in Jabil through their participation in the Stock Incentive Plan and that thereby encourage them to remain in Jabil’s employ and more closely align their interests with those of the stockholders. The Board of Directors also believes that it is in the best interests of Jabil to maximize its federal income tax deductions for compensation awards that provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in Jabil.
      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
Summary of the Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended, Subject to Stockholder Approval
      The following summary of the Stock Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which reflecting the amendments referenced herein is attached to this proxy as Appendix A.
      Purpose. The purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants of Jabil and to promote the success of Jabil’s business.
      Awards. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for awards of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock awards, performance units, performance shares and stock appreciation rights. The Board may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries. With limited exceptions, the rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan. The ability to adopt such sub-plans will facilitate Jabil’s global expansion.
      Stock Subject to the Stock Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan as of the Record Date, subject to adjustment upon

13


Table of Contents

a change in capitalization, is 3,515,609 shares. Such shares of common stock may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares of common stock. Shares of common stock that were subject to Stock Incentive Plan awards that expire or become unexercisable without having been exercised in full shall become available for future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. With respect to stock appreciation rights, when a stock-settled stock appreciation right is exercised, the shares of common stock subject to the stock appreciation right shall be counted against the shares of common stock available for issuance as one share for every share subject to the stock appreciation right, regardless of the number of shares used to settle the stock appreciation right upon exercise.
      Administration. The Stock Incentive Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors or one or more committees of the Board (the “Administrator”). The Board may require that the Administrator be constituted to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Section 162(m) of the Code, or both. Subject to the other provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, the Administrator has the power to determine the terms of each award granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the award and the exercisability thereof. The Administrator may not modify or amend any outstanding stock option so as to specify a lower exercise price or accept the surrender of an outstanding stock option and authorize the granting of a new stock option with a lower exercise price in substitution for the surrendered stock option. In accordance with applicable law, the Board may, by a resolution adopted by the Board, authorize one or more officers of Jabil to designate officers (other than the officer so authorized) and employees of Jabil to be recipients of stock options and determine the number of stock options to be granted. Such a Board resolution must specify the total number and the terms, including exercise price, of the stock options that an officer or officers of Jabil may grant.
      Eligibility. The Stock Incentive Plan provides that the Administrator may grant awards to employees and consultants, including non-employee directors. However, the Administrator may grant incentive stock options only to employees. A grantee who has received a grant of an award may, if he is otherwise eligible, receive additional award grants. The Administrator selects the grantees and determines the number of shares of common stock to be subject to each award. In making such determination, the Administrator shall take into account the duties and responsibilities of the employee or consultant, the value of his services, his potential contribution to the success of Jabil, the anticipated number of years of future service and other relevant factors. The Administrator shall not grant to any employee, in any fiscal year of Jabil, stock options to purchase more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
      Maximum Term and General Terms and Conditions of Awards. With respect to any grantee who owns stock possessing 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of stock of Jabil (a “10% Stockholder”), the maximum term of any incentive stock option granted to such optionee must not exceed five years. The term of all other options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan may not exceed ten years.
      Each award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is evidenced by a written agreement between the grantee and Jabil and is subject to the following general terms and conditions:
        (a) Termination of Employment. If a grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant terminates for any reason (other than upon the grantee’s death or disability), the grantee may exercise his unexercised option or stock appreciation right, but only within such period of time as is determined by the Administrator (with such determination being made at the time of grant and not exceeding 3 months in the case of an incentive stock option) and only to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event may the option or stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such award as set forth in the award agreement). A grantee’s stock award shall be forfeited, to the extent it is forfeitable immediately before the date of such termination, or settled by delivery of the appropriate number of unrestricted shares, to the extent it is nonforfeitable. A grantee’s performance shares or performance units with respect to which the performance period has not ended as of the date of such termination shall terminate.
 
        (b) Disability. If a grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant terminates as a result of permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the grantee may exercise his unexercised option or stock appreciation right, but only within 12 months from the date of such

14


Table of Contents

  termination, and only to the extent that the optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event may the option or stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such award as set forth in the award agreement). A grantee’s stock award shall be forfeited, to the extent it is forfeitable immediately before the date of such termination, or settled by delivery of the appropriate number of unrestricted shares, to the extent it is nonforfeitable. A grantee’s performance shares or performance units with respect to which the performance period has not ended as of the date of such termination shall terminate.
 
        (c) Death. In the event of a grantee’s death, the grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the deceased grantee’s option or stock appreciation right by bequest or inheritance may exercise the option or stock appreciation right, but only within 12 months following the date of death, and only to the extent that the grantee was entitled to exercise it at the date of death (but in no event may the option or stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such award as set forth in the award agreement). A grantee’s stock award shall be forfeited, to the extent it is forfeitable immediately before the date of such termination, or settled by delivery of the appropriate number of unrestricted shares, to the extent it is nonforfeitable. A grantee’s performance shares or performance units with respect to which the performance period has not ended as of the date of such termination shall terminate.
 
        (d) Nontransferability of Awards. Except as described below, an award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is not transferable by the grantee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the grantee’s lifetime only by the grantee. In the event of the grantee’s death, an option or stock appreciation right may be exercised by a person who acquires the right to exercise the award by bequest or inheritance. To the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law and the Administrator, a grantee may transfer an award to certain family members and other individuals and entities.
      Terms and Conditions of Options. Each option granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is subject to the following terms and conditions:
        (a) Exercise Price. The Administrator determines the exercise price of options to purchase shares of common stock at the time the options are granted. As a general rule, the exercise price of an option must be no less than 100% (110% for an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. This general rule is different than the exercise price provision of the 1992 Stock Option Plan, which does not place such a restriction on the exercise price of a nonstatutory stock option. The Stock Incentive Plan provides exceptions for certain options granted in connection with an acquisition by Jabil of another corporation or granted as inducements to an individual’s commencing employment with Jabil. For so long as Jabil’s common stock is traded on the NYSE, the fair market value of a share of common stock shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid if no sales were reported) as quoted on such system on the last market trading day prior to the date of determination of such fair market value.
 
        (b) Exercise of the Option. Each award agreement specifies the term of the option and the date when the option is to become exercisable. The terms of such vesting are determined by the Administrator. An option is exercised by giving written notice of exercise to Jabil, specifying the number of full shares of common stock to be purchased and by tendering full payment of the purchase price to Jabil.
 
        (c) Form of Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of an option is determined by the Administrator and set forth in the award agreement. Such form of consideration may vary for each option, and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory note, other shares of Jabil’s common stock, any combination thereof, or any other legally permissible form of consideration as may be provided in the Stock Incentive Plan and the award agreement.
 
        (d) Value Limitation. If the aggregate fair market value of all shares of common stock subject to a grantee’s incentive stock option which are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the excess options shall be treated as nonstatutory options.

15


Table of Contents

        (e) Other Provisions. The award agreement may contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Stock Incentive Plan as may be determined by the Administrator. Shares of common stock covered by options which have terminated and which were not exercised prior to termination will be returned to the Stock Incentive Plan.
      Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant stock appreciation rights in tandem with an option or alone and unrelated to an option. Tandem stock appreciation rights shall expire no later than the expiration of the related option. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised by the delivery to Jabil of a written notice of exercise. The exercise of a stock appreciation right will entitle the grantee to receive the excess of the percentage stated in the award agreement of the fair market value of a share of common stock over the exercise price for each share of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. Payment upon exercise of a stock appreciation right may be in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator shall not grant to any employee, in any fiscal year of Jabil, stock appreciation rights covering more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
      Stock Awards. The Administrator may grant awards of shares of common stock in such amount and upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator specifies in the award agreement. No more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted pursuant to stock awards to an individual in any calendar year.
      Code Section 162(m) Provisions. To the extent the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors considers it desirable for compensation delivered pursuant to a stock award to be eligible to qualify for an exemption from the limit on tax deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee may provide that the lapsing of restrictions on the stock award and the distribution of shares, as applicable, shall be subject to satisfaction of one, or more than one, objective performance targets. The Compensation Committee shall determine the performance targets that will be applied with respect to each such stock award at the time of grant, but in no event later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance target(s) relate. The performance criteria applicable to such stock awards will be one or more of the following criteria: stock price; market share; sales; earnings per share, core earnings per share or variations thereof; return on equity; costs; revenue; cash to cash cycle; days payables outstanding; days of supply; days sales outstanding; cash flow; operating income; profit after tax; profit before tax; return on assets; return on sales; inventory turns; invested capital; net operating profit after tax; return on invested capital; total shareholder return; earnings; return on equity or average shareowners’ equity; total shareowner return; return on capital; return on investment; income or net income; operating income or net operating income; operating profit or net operating profit; operating margin; return on operating revenue; contract awards or backlog; overhead or other expense reduction; growth in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; credit rating; strategic plan development and implementation; net cash provided by operating activities; gross margin; economic value added; customer satisfaction; financial return ratios; and market performance.
      The Compensation Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under the criteria set forth above to exclude certain items or events or in such other manner and to such extent as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate under the applicable circumstances. The Compensation Committee may not increase the number of shares granted pursuant to any such stock award, nor may it waive the achievement of any performance target. Prior to the payment of any such stock award, the Compensation Committee shall certify in writing that the applicable performance target(s) was met.
      Performance Units and Performance Shares. The Administrator may grant awards of performance units and performance shares in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions, including the performance goals and the performance period, as the Administrator specifies in the award agreement. The Administrator will establish an initial value for each performance unit on the date of grant.
      The initial value of a performance share will be the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Payment of earned performance units or performance shares will be occur following the close of

16

the applicable performance period and in the form of cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
      Adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of changes in the outstanding stock of Jabil by reason of any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, recapitalizations or other change in the capital structure of Jabil, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors in: (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the Stock Incentive Plan, (ii) the number and class of shares of common stock subject to any award outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan, and (iii) the exercise price of any such outstanding award. The determination of the Board of Directors as to which adjustments shall be made shall be conclusive.
      Change in Control. In the event of a change in control of Jabil, any award outstanding on the date of such change in control that is not yet vested shall become fully vested on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of such change in control, if the grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant of Jabil does not terminate prior to such anniversary, or (ii) the date of termination of the grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant of Jabil as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor without cause or resignation by the grantee for good reason. However, an award will not become fully vested due to a change in control if the grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant terminates as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor for cause or resignation by the grantee without good reason.
      In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of Jabil, all outstanding awards will terminate immediately before the consummation of such proposed action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any option or stock appreciation right shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each grantee the right to exercise his option or stock appreciation right as to all or any part of the stock covered by such award, including shares as to which the option or stock appreciation right would not otherwise be exercisable.
      In the event of a merger of Jabil with or into another corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of Jabil or the acquisition by any person, other than Jabil, of 50% or more of Jabil’s then outstanding securities, each outstanding option and stock appreciation right shall be assumed or an equivalent option and stock appreciation right shall be substituted by the successor corporation; provided, however, if such successor or purchaser refuses to assume the then outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, the Stock Incentive Plan provides for the acceleration of the exercisability of all or some outstanding options and stock appreciation rights.
      Amendment and Termination of the Stock Incentive Plan. The Board may at anytime amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Stock Incentive Plan. Jabil shall obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan in such a manner and to such a degree as is necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act or Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the common stock is listed or quoted). Furthermore, Jabil shall obtain stockholder approval of any modification or amendment to the extent that the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably determines, in accordance with the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the common stock is listed or quoted, that such modification or amendment constitutes a material revision or material amendment of the Stock Incentive Plan. No amendment or termination of the Stock Incentive Plan shall impair the rights of any grantee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the grantee and Jabil, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the grantee and Jabil. In any event, the Stock Incentive Plan shall terminate on October 17, 2011. Any awards outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan at the time of its termination shall remain outstanding until they expire by their terms.
Federal Tax Information
      Pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan, Jabil may grant either “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, nonstatutory options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance units or performance shares.

Table of Contents

      An optionee who receives an incentive stock option grant will not recognize any taxable income either at the time of grant or exercise of the option, although the exercise may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax.
      Upon the sale or other disposition of the shares more than two years after the grant of the option and one year after the exercise of the option, any gain or loss will be treated as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the holding period. If these holding periods are not satisfied, the optionee will recognize ordinary income at the time of sale or disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of (a) the fair market of the shares at the date of the option exercise or (b) the sale price of the shares. Jabil will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Any gain or loss recognized on such a premature disposition of the shares in excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be characterized as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.
      All options that do not qualify as incentive stock options are referred to as nonstatutory options. An optionee will not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she receives a nonstatutory option grant. However, upon exercise of the nonstatutory option, the optionee will recognize ordinary taxable income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased on the date of exercise over the purchase price. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by an optionee who is also an employee of Jabil will be subject to tax withholding by Jabil. Upon the sale of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. Jabil will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of a nonstatutory option.
      With respect to stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares that may be settled either in cash or in shares of common stock that are either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture under Section 83 of the Code, the grantee will realize ordinary taxable income, subject to tax withholding, equal to the amount of the cash or the fair market value of the shares of common stock received. Jabil will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the compensation income is received by the participant.
      With respect to shares of common stock that are both nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will realize ordinary taxable income equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the first time the shares of common stock are either transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Jabil will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the ordinary taxable income realized by the grantee.
      All of the above-described deductions are subject to the limitations on deductibility described in Section 162(m) of the Code. It is Jabil’s intention that the plan be construed and administered in a manner that maximizes the deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
      The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon the grantee and Jabil with respect to the grant and exercise of awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, does not purport to be complete, and does not discuss the tax consequences of the grantee’s death or the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a grantee may reside.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
APPROVAL OF THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
      The Jabil Circuit, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 27, 2005. The complete text of the Annual Incentive Plan is set forth in Appendix B.
      The Board of Directors adopted the Annual Incentive Plan subject to stockholder approval. Therefore, the Annual Incentive Plan will not become effective if the stockholders do not approve it. The Annual Incentive Plan is designed so that annual incentive awards granted pursuant to its terms generally will not be subject to the tax deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code prevents a publicly held corporation from claiming tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 to certain of its senior executives. The executives who are subject to the compensation deduction limitation include any individual who, as of the last day of Jabil’s taxable year, Jabil’s chief executive officer or among the four highest compensated officers other than the chief executive officer. Compensation is exempt from this limitation if it is qualified “performance-based compensation.”
      The purpose of this proposal is to request stockholder approval of the material terms of the Annual Incentive Plan in order to take advantage of this exception and ensure that Jabil is able to receive tax deductions for the full amount of performance-based compensation paid to officers in the form of annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. The material terms that must be approved include (1) the employees eligible to receive the performance-based compensation, (2) the performance criteria under which the performance-based compensation will be determined, and (3) the maximum amount of performance-based compensation that could be paid to any executive in a fiscal year.
      The following is a summary of the material terms of the Annual Incentive Plan, including the material terms that stockholders are being asked to approve.
Description of the Annual Incentive Plan
      Purpose. The purpose of the Annual Incentive Plan is to motivate and reward short-term performance by providing cash bonus payments based upon the achievement of pre-established and objective performance goals. The Annual Incentive Plan also provides for discretionary bonus awards.
      Administration. The Annual Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Among other things, the Compensation Committee has the authority to select participants in the Annual Incentive Plan from among Jabil’s executive officers, and to determine the performance goals, the bonus amounts to be paid upon achievement of the performance goals, to make other discretionary bonus awards, and to determine other terms and conditions of awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to establish and amend rules and regulations relating to the Annual Incentive Plan and to make all other determinations necessary and advisable for the administration of the Annual Incentive Plan. All decisions made by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the Annual Incentive Plan are made in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion and are final and binding.
      Eligibility. Executive officers designated by the Compensation Committee are eligible to be granted annual incentive awards and discretionary awards under the Annual Incentive Plan. Although Section 162(m) of the Code limits deductibility only for compensation paid to the five most highly compensated executive officers, the performance goals with respect to annual incentive awards are applied to all executive officers in the event that one or more should become subject to the limits of Section 162(m) of the Code.
      Terms of Annual Incentive Awards. Annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan are made for each fiscal year. Annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan consist of cash amounts payable upon the achievement during a fiscal year of specified objective performance goals. Within the first 90 days of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will establish the performance goal(s) and the target bonus, which will be earned if the performance goal(s) are achieved. The target bonus for each participant will be determined as a percentage of the participant’s base salary or as the sum of a percentage of the funds available for the payment of such bonus and a percentage of the participant’s base salary up to a designated

19


Table of Contents

maximum percentage of the participant’s base salary. After the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee will certify in writing the extent to which the performance goals are achieved and determine the amount of the annual incentive award that is payable, provided that the Compensation Committee will not have the discretion to increase the amount of incentive compensation actually paid. All annual incentive award amounts payable under the Annual Incentive Plan will be paid as soon as practicable after the Compensation Committee’s certification.
      Performance Goals. Performance goals applicable to annual incentive awards under the Annual Incentive Plan will be based on one or more of the following performance objectives: stock price; market share; sales; earnings per share, core earnings per share or variations thereof; return on equity; costs; revenue; cash to cash cycle; days payables outstanding; days of supply; days sales outstanding; cash flow; operating income; profit after tax; profit before tax; return on assets; return on sales; inventory turns; invested capital; net operating profit after tax; return on invested capital; total shareholder return; earnings; return on equity or average shareowners’ equity; total shareowner return; return on capital; return on investment; income or net income; operating income or net operating income; operating profit or net operating profit; operating margin; return on operating revenue; contract awards or backlog; overhead or other expense reduction; growth in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; credit rating; strategic plan development and implementation; net cash provided by operating activities; gross margin; economic value added; customer satisfaction; financial return ratios; and market performance.
      Maximum Annual Incentive Award Payable. For purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, Jabil is required to establish a maximum amount of performance-based compensation that may be paid to any participant pursuant to an annual incentive award under the Annual Incentive Plan in any one fiscal year. The maximum annual incentive award amount payable under the Plan is 300% of the participant’s base salary. This limitation may not be increased without stockholder approval.
      Termination of Employment. A participant whose employment terminates during the fiscal year will not be entitled to any payment with respect to the annual incentive award.
      Discretionary Awards. The Annual Incentive Plan also authorizes the Compensation Committee to make cash bonus awards to executive officers in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as shall the Compensation Committee determine in its discretion. Discretionary awards are not qualified “performance-based compensation” and are not exempt from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.
      Amendment and Discontinuance. The Annual Incentive Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time, but no such amendment, modification or termination will affect the payment of any award for a fiscal year that has already ended or increase the amount of any award.
      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE JABIL CIRCUIT, INC.
2002 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
      The Jabil 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors in October 2001 and approved by the stockholders in January 2002. The Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, permits eligible employees to purchase shares of Jabil’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions.
Proposal
      The Board of Directors recently amended the Stock Purchase Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan provides for a 2,000,000 share increase in the aggregate number of shares of Jabil common stock that may be issued under the Stock Purchase Plan as of the Record Date from 517,528 shares to 2,517,528 shares.
      The Board of Directors adopted the amendment, subject to stockholder approval. Therefore, the amendment will not become effective if the stockholders do not approve it.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
      The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of Jabil to provide employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in Jabil through their participation in the Stock Purchase Plan through their participation in the Stock Incentive Plan and thereby encourage them to remain in Jabil’s employ and more closely align their interests with those of the stockholders.
      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.
Summary of the Stock Purchase Plan, as Amended, Subject to Stockholder Approval
      The following summary of the principal features and effects of the Stock Purchase Plan is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which reflecting the amendment referenced herein is attached to this proxy as Appendix C.
      Purpose. The purpose of the Stock Purchase Plan is to provide employees of Jabil and certain of its subsidiaries as designed by the Board (the “Subsidiaries”) with an opportunity to purchase common stock through accumulated payroll deductions. Jabil intends to have the Stock Purchase Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. The Board may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. With limited exceptions, the rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of the Stock Purchase Plan. The ability to adopt such sub-plans will facilitate Jabil’s global expansion.
      Administration. The Stock Purchase Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board (the “Administrator”). Every finding, decision and determination by the Administrator shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. The Board may adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation of the Stock Purchase Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures.
      Eligibility. All employees of Jabil or its Subsidiaries are eligible to participate after 90 days of continuous employment if they are regularly employed for at least 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year. Participation in the Stock Purchase Plan ends automatically on termination of employment with Jabil or a Subsidiary. Eligible employees may become a participant by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions and filing it with Jabil’s payroll office at least ten business days before the applicable enrollment date.

21


Table of Contents

      Offering Periods. The Stock Purchase Plan is implemented by consecutive six month offering periods commencing on the first trading day on or after July 1, 2002 and on January 1 and July 1 of each year thereafter.
      Purchase Price. The purchase price per share of the shares offered under the Stock Purchase Plan in a given offering period shall be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the enrollment date or 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date. The fair market value of the common stock on a given date shall be the closing sale price of a share of common stock for such date as reported by the NYSE or any other established stock exchange or national market system on which the common stock is listed. The shares of Jabil common stock purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan will represent newly-issued shares.
      Payroll Deductions. The purchase price for the shares of common stock is accumulated by payroll deductions during the offering period in amounts elected by the participants not exceeding 10% of such participants eligible compensation during the offering period, which is defined in the Stock Purchase Plan to include all regular straight earnings and any payments for overtime, shift premiums, commissions, incentive compensation, incentive payments, regular bonuses and other compensation. A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Stock Purchase Plan at any time during the offering period. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday following the enrollment date, and shall end on the exercise date of the offering period unless sooner terminated as provided in the Stock Purchase Plan. No interest shall accrue on a participant’s payroll deductions.
      Grant and Exercise of Option. The maximum number of shares placed under option to a participant in an offering period is that number determined by dividing the amount of the participant’s total payroll deductions to be accumulated prior to an exercise date by the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period or on the exercise date, provided that a participant will not be permitted to purchase during each offering period more than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the fair market value of Jabil’s common stock on the enrollment date. Unless a participant withdraws from the Stock Purchase Plan, such participant’s option for the purchase of shares of common stock will be exercised automatically on each exercise date for the maximum number of whole shares of common stock at the applicable price. As promptly as practicable after each exercise date on which a participant’s purchase of shares of common stock occurs, Jabil will arrange the delivery to the participant of a certificate representing the shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of the participant’s option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no employee will be permitted to subscribe for shares of common stock under the Stock Purchase Plan if, immediately after the grant of the option, the employee would own five percent or more of the voting power or value of all classes of stock of Jabil or of any of its subsidiaries (including stock that may be purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan or pursuant to any other options), nor shall any employee be granted an option that would permit the employee to buy under all employee stock purchase plans of Jabil more than $25,000 worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time the option is granted) in any calendar year. Options may be granted under the Stock Purchase Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by employees of another corporation who become, or who became prior to the effective date of the Stock Purchase Plan, employees of Jabil or one of its subsidiaries as a result of a merger with or acquisition by Jabil.
      Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. Employees may end their participation in the offering at any time during the offering period, and participation ends automatically on termination of employment with Jabil or a Subsidiary. A participant will be required to withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account and not yet used and must give written notice of such withdrawal to Jabil.
      Transferability. No rights or accumulated payroll deductions of a participant under the Stock Purchase Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or by designation of a beneficiary as provided in the Stock Purchase Plan) and any such attempt may be treated by Jabil as an election to withdraw from the Stock Purchase Plan.
      Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control. Subject to any required action by Jabil’s stockholders, the shares of common stock reserved under the Stock

22


Table of Contents

Purchase Plan, as well as the price per share of common stock covered by each option under the Stock Purchase Plan that has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by Jabil; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of Jabil shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of Jabil, the offering period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Jabil or a merger of Jabil with or into another corporation, the Stock Purchase Plan provides that each option under the Stock Purchase Plan be assumed or an equivalent option be substituted by the successor or purchaser corporation, unless the Board determines to shorten the offering period or to cancel each outstanding right to purchase and to refund all sums collected during that offering period to the participants.
      Amendment and Termination. Jabil’s Board of Directors may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Stock Purchase Plan. Except as provided in the Stock Purchase Plan with respect to adjustments upon changes in capitalization, dissolution, merger, asset sale or change of control, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an offering period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any exercise date if the Board determines that the termination of the Stock Purchase Plan is in the best interests of Jabil and its stockholders. Except as provided in the Stock Purchase Plan with respect to adjustments upon changes in capitalization, dissolution, merger, asset sale or change of control, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted that adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended, or under Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law or regulation), Jabil shall obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan in such a manner and to such a degree as required. Unless terminated sooner, the Stock Purchase Plan will terminate on October 17, 2011.
Federal Tax Information
      The Stock Purchase Plan and the rights of participants to make purchases under the Stock Purchase Plan are intended to qualify under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the Plan are sold or otherwise disposed of. Upon sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock, the participant will generally be subject to tax, and the amount of the tax will depend upon the holding period. If the shares of common stock are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years from the first day of the offering period, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of such sale or disposition over the purchase price, or (b) an amount equal to 15% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock as of the first day of the offering period. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the shares of common stock are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of this holding period, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. Jabil is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of ordinary income recognized by participants upon a sale or disposition of shares of common stock prior to the expiration of the holding period(s) described above. The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon the participant and Jabil with respect to the shares of common stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan. Reference should be made to the applicable provisions of the Code. In addition, the summary does not discuss the tax consequences of a participant’s death or the income tax laws of any state or foreign country in which the participant may reside.

PROPOSAL NO. 5
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected KPMG LLP to audit the financial statements of Jabil for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006, and to perform other appropriate services. KPMG LLP (or its predecessor firm) has audited Jabil’s financial statements since the fiscal year ended August 31, 1984. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
      Jabil Circuit, Inc.’s Audit Committee serves to assist Jabil’s Board in fulfilling the oversight responsibilities it has under the law with respect to financial reports and other financial information provided by Jabil to the public, Jabil’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting that management and the Board have established and Jabil’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally.
      The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent directors, as defined in recently implemented, more stringent listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as other statutory, regulatory and other requirements applicable to Jabil.
      The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which was attached as an Exhibit to the Proxy Statement relating to Jabil’s 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Audit Committee annually reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter in order to insure early or timely compliance with statutory, regulatory, listing and other requirements applicable to Jabil.
      Jabil’s management has primary responsibility for the preparation, presentation and integrity of Jabil’s financial statements and its financial reporting process. Jabil’s independent registered public accountant, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of Jabil’s audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accountant.
      The Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the independent registered public accountant. The Audit Committee also has periodic discussions with management and the independent registered public accountant with regard to the quality and adequacy of Jabil’s internal controls. Management’s and the independent registered public accountant’s presentations to, and discussions with, the Audit Committee also cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between management and the independent registered public accountant.
      In this context, the Audit Committee reports as follows:
        1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with Jabil’s management and KPMG LLP.
 
        2. The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standard, AU §380).
 
        3. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standards No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence from Jabil.

        4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to Jabil’s Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in Jabil’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has also appointed KPMG as Jabil’s independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2006.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit, Audit-Related and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Independent Registered Public Accountants
      The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-

Table of Contents

approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Management is required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accountants in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. During fiscal year 2005, all services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
      If the stockholders do not approve the selection of KPMG LLP, the appointment of the independent registered public accountants will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Jabil’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Jabil’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the SEC. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish Jabil with copies of all such forms that they file.
      Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by Jabil from certain reporting persons, Jabil believes that, during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were met, except that Wesley B. Edwards failed to timely file one Form 4 relating to one exercise of an employee stock option. In addition, subsequent to fiscal year end, William D. Morean filed, or amended, four Form 4s relating to previous fiscal years, three relating to three separate gifts of shares and one relating to sales of shares.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
      Jabil’s Compensation Committee was formed in November 1992 and is currently composed of Messrs. Lavitt, Newman and Raymund. No member of the Compensation Committee is currently or was formerly an officer or an employee of Jabil or its subsidiaries. There are no compensation committee interlocks and no insider participation in compensation decisions that are required to be reported under the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year
      The following table sets forth information as to stock options granted to all Named Officers during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. These options were granted under our existing equity compensation plans and, unless otherwise indicated, provide for vesting as to 12% of the underlying common stock six months after the date of grant, then 2% per month thereafter. Options were granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The amounts under “Potential Realizable Value at Assumed Annual Rate of Stock Appreciation for Option Term” represent the hypothetical gains of the options granted based on assumed annual compound stock appreciation rates of 5% and 10% over their exercise price for the full ten-year term of the options. The assumed rates of appreciation are mandated by the rules of the SEC and do not represent our estimate or projection of future common stock prices.

Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year End Option Values
      The following table sets forth certain information concerning the exercise of options during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, and the aggregate value of unexercised options at August 31, 2005, for each of the Named Officers.

(1)  The closing price for Jabil’s common stock as reported through the NYSE on August 31, 2005 was $29.44. “Value Realized” is calculated on the basis of the difference between the option exercise price and $29.44 multiplied by the number of shares of common stock to which the exercise relates.
 
(2)  These values, unlike the amounts set forth in the column entitled “Value Realized,” have not been, and may never be, realized and are based on the positive spread between the respective exercise prices of outstanding options and the closing price of Jabil’s common stock on August 31, 2005, the last day of trading for fiscal 2005.
Change in Control Arrangements
      All options issued under Jabil’s 1992 Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan provide that, in the event of a change in control of Jabil, any award outstanding under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan on the date of such change in control that is not yet vested will become fully vested on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the date of such change in control, if the grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant of Jabil does not terminate prior to such anniversary, or (ii) the date of termination of the grantee’s

31


Table of Contents

continuous status as an employee or consultant of Jabil as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor without cause or resignation by the grantee for good reason. However, an award will not become fully vested due to a change in control if the grantee’s continuous status as an employee or consultant terminates as a result of termination by Jabil or its successor for cause or resignation by the grantee without good reason.
      The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan provide that, in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of Jabil, all outstanding awards will terminate immediately before the consummation of such proposed action. The Board of Directors may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any option awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan or the 1992 Stock Option Plan, or stock appreciation right awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, will terminate as of a date fixed by the Board of Directors and give each grantee the right to exercise his option or stock appreciation right as to all or any part of the stock covered by such award, including shares as to which the option or stock appreciation right would not otherwise be exercisable.
      In the event of a merger of Jabil with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of Jabil, each outstanding option awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan, and each stock appreciation right awarded under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, will be assumed or an equivalent option and stock appreciation right will be substituted by the successor corporation, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion. If such successor or purchaser refuses to assume or provide a substitute for the outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1992 Stock Option Plan provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and termination of all or some outstanding and unexercisable options and stock appreciation rights, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion. In the event of the acquisition by any person, other than Jabil, of 50% or more of Jabil’s then outstanding securities, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights which are vested and exercisable shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
      During 2005, Jabil was a party to an agreement with an entity (“Indigo”) controlled by William D. Morean, a director of Jabil, for Jabil’s use of Indigo’s aircraft for Jabil’s business purposes. Under the lease, Jabil paid market competitive hourly rental rates and certain ancillary costs incurred while the aircraft was being used by Jabil, such as fuel, oil, landing fees, etc. Jabil did not pay for Mr. Morean’s personal use of the aircraft. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Jabil paid approximately $74,000 for its use of Indigo’s aircraft. During 2005, Jabil provided Mr. Morean limited personal use of Jabil’s aircraft. Under applicable Federal Aviation Administration Rules, Jabil was limited to charging Mr. Morean, for such use, an amount equal to two-times the cost of fuel for flights, plus certain related expenses such as landing fees, tie down fees, etc., which totaled approximately $64,000. Mr. Morean and Indigo also had an agreement with Jabil at market competitive rates for the limited use of Jabil’s flight crew to operate a non-Jabil aircraft for non-Jabil use and for maintenance scheduling fees. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Mr. Morean and Indigo paid Jabil approximately $145,000 for such flight crew’s services, maintenance scheduling and the cost of pilot training attributable to Indigo’s aircraft. Jabil and Indigo also insure their respective aircraft under a mutual policy, which enabled Jabil to take advantage of a quantity discount for aircraft insurance and pay less for its aircraft insurance than it would pay without the Indigo aircraft on the policy. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Jabil paid approximately $93,000 for the portion of the cost of the policy attributable to Indigo’s aircraft, which was subsequently reimbursed by Indigo. Apart from Jabil’s use of Indigo’s aircraft and the other matters described above, during fiscal year 2005 Mr. Morean used aircraft owned by Jabil for personal use pursuant to the terms of a “time-share” agreement.
      During 2005, Thomas A. Sansone, a director of Jabil, had an agreement with Jabil at market competitive rates for the limited use of Jabil’s flight crew to operate a non-Jabil aircraft for non-Jabil use. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, Mr. Sansone paid Jabil approximately $72,000 for such flight crew’s services.
      Mr. Charles A. Main, a brother of Timothy L. Main, the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of Jabil, is employed by Jabil’s Business Development division and earned an aggregate compensation

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
      The Committee’s Responsibilities: The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has responsibility for setting and administering the policies which govern executive compensation. The Committee is composed entirely of outside directors. The purpose of this report is to summarize the philosophical principles, specific program objectives and other factors considered by the Committee in reaching its determinations regarding the compensation of Jabil’s executive officers.
      Compensation Philosophy: The Committee has approved principles for the management compensation program which:
  •  encourage the development and the achievement of strategic objectives that enhance long-term stockholder value;
 
  •  attract, retain and motivate key personnel who contribute to long-term success of Jabil; and
 
  •  provide a compensation package that recognizes individual contributions and company performance.
      Compensation Methodology: Jabil strives to provide a comprehensive executive compensation program that is competitive and performance-based in order to attract and retain superior executive talent. In making its recommendations to the Committee, management reviews market data and assesses Jabil’s competitive position for three components of executive compensation: (1) base salary; (2) annual incentives; and (3) long-term incentives. To assist in benchmarking the competitiveness of its compensation programs, Jabil uses Mercer Human Resource Consulting (“Mercer”), a nationally recognized executive compensation firm. Mercer utilizes a number of national compensation surveys and provides databases for companies of similar size to Jabil, as well as specific analysis of the compensation information contained in the proxy statements of a number of companies in the same industry as Jabil.
      Components of Compensation:
  •  Base Salary. Base salary for all executive officer positions is targeted to be competitive with the average salaries of comparable executives at technology companies of similar size and is also intended to reflect consideration of an officer’s experience, business judgment and role in developing and implementing overall business strategy for Jabil. It is the intent of the Committee that Jabil’s compensation of executive officers fall within the median of industry compensation levels. Base salaries are based upon qualitative and subjective factors and no specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor.
 
  •  Bonuses. Bonuses for executive officers are intended to reflect Jabil’s belief that a significant portion of the annual compensation of the executive should be contingent upon the performance of Jabil, as well as the individual’s contribution. Bonuses are paid on an annual or quarterly basis and are based solely on quantitative factors, including the pre-tax profitability of Jabil, business development and operational performance, earnings per share, returns on invested capital and other measures of performance appropriate to the officer compensated.
 
  •  Long-Term Incentives. Jabil utilizes stock options and restricted stock awards as long-term incentives to attract and retain key personnel or reward exceptional performance. Stock options and restricted stock are granted periodically by the Committee and are based on both qualitative and subjective factors. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Jabil’s common stock on the last market trading day prior to the date of determination (determined in accordance with the option plan) and grants made during the last fiscal year generally vest over a period of 50 months. Restricted stock grants generally vest in five years. Both options and restricted stock may also be subject to accelerated vesting on the achievement of certain performance-based criteria. Option and

  restricted stock grants are designed to create an incentive to increase stockholder value over the long-term since the value of the grants will increase when the price of the stock increases.
      Chief Executive Officer and President Compensation: In establishing the targeted amounts of Mr. Main’s base salary, bonus and equity-based compensation, the Committee considered the findings contained in the Mercer report regarding the average compensation of comparable executives at technology companies of similar size. In addition, when considering Mr. Main’s base salary, the Committee evaluated Mr. Main’s contributions to the Company in the areas of leadership; strategy development; organizational development; governance; compliance; and financial performance. Mr. Main’s bonus opportunity was predicated on the Company achieving targeted levels of core operating income, return on invested capital and core operating margins. Based on all of these considerations, Mr. Main’s compensation increased in fiscal year 2005.
      IRS Limits on Deductibility of Compensation: An income tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code, will generally be available for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Named Executives only if that compensation is “performance-based” and complies with certain other tax law requirements. Although the Committee considers deductibility issues when approving executive compensation elements, the Committee believes that the other compensation objectives, such as attracting, retaining and providing incentives to qualified managers, are important and may supersede the goal of maintaining deductibility. Consequently, the Committee may make compensation decisions without regard to deductibility when it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so.

Subject to the following provision, the term during which an Award may be outstanding shall not extend more than ten years after the Date of Grant, and shall be subject to earlier termination as specified elsewhere in the Plan or Award Agreement; provided, however, that any deferral of a cash payment or of the delivery of Shares that is permitted or required by the Administrator pursuant to Section 10 of the Plan may, if so permitted or required by the Administrator, extend more than ten years after the Date of Grant of the Award to which the deferral relates.

An Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of an Option following the Date of Termination would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of Shares would violate Company policy regarding compliance with Applicable Law, then the exercise period shall terminate on the earlier of (A) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 6(b) of the Plan or (B) the expiration of a period of 10 days after the Date of Termination during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such requirements;

        (iv) any Performance Shares or Performance Units with respect to which the Performance Period has not ended as of the Date of Termination shall terminate immediately upon the Date of Termination.

        (i) the Grantee’s unexercised Option or SAR may be exercised at any time within 12 months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Grantee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Grantee was entitled to exercise the Option or SAR at the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Grantee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option or SAR, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option or SAR shall immediately revert to the Plan. If, after death, the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option or SAR within the time specified herein, the Option or SAR shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option or SAR shall revert to the Plan;
 
        (ii) the Grantee’s Stock Awards, to the extent forfeitable immediately before the date of death, shall thereupon automatically be forfeited;
 
        (iii) the Grantee’s Stock Awards that were not forfeitable immediately before the date of death shall promptly be settled by delivery to the Grantee’s estate or a person who acquired the right to hold the Stock Grant by bequest or inheritance, of a number of unrestricted Shares equal to the aggregate number of the Grantee’s vested Stock Awards;

        (A) shall not have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined for each Incentive Stock Option at the Date of Grant) of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other employee stock option plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (“Other Plans”)), determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, that exceeds $100,000 (the “$100,000 Limit”);
 
        (B) shall, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares (determined on the Date of Grant) with respect to the portion of such grant that is exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (“Current Grant”) and all Incentive Stock Options previously granted under the Plan and any Other

A-7


Table of Contents

  Plans that are exercisable for the first time during a calendar year (“Prior Grants”) would exceed the $100,000 Limit, be exercisable as follows:
        (1) The portion of the Current Grant that would, when added to any Prior Grants, be exercisable with respect to Shares that would have an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective Date of Grant for such Options) in excess of the $100,000 Limit shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Current Grant, be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in the first subsequent calendar year or years in which it could be exercisable for the first time by the Grantee when added to all Prior Grants without exceeding the $100,000 Limit; and
 
        (2) If, viewed as of the date of the Current Grant, any portion of a Current Grant could not be exercised under the preceding provisions of this Section 6(a)(i)(B) during any calendar year commencing with the calendar year in which it is first exercisable through and including the last calendar year in which it may by its terms be exercised, such portion of the Current Grant shall not be an Incentive Stock Option, but shall be exercisable as a separate Option at such date or dates as are provided in the Current Grant.
        (ii) No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 3,000,000 Shares. The limitation described in this Section 6(a)(ii) shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 11 of the Plan. If an Option is canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 11 of the Plan), the canceled Option will be counted against the limitation described in this Section 6(a)(ii).
      (b) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be 10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Grantee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10 percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
      (c) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
        (i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(c)(i), shall be no less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.
        (A) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who on the Date of Grant owns stock representing more than 10 percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant.
 
        (B) Any Option that is (1) granted to a Grantee in connection with the acquisition (“Acquisition”), however effected, by the Company of another corporation or entity (“Acquired Entity”) or the assets thereof, (2) associated with an option to purchase shares of stock or other equity interest of the Acquired Entity or an affiliate thereof (“Acquired Entity Option”) held by such Grantee immediately prior to such Acquisition, and (3) intended to preserve for the Grantee the economic value of all or a portion of such Acquired Entity Option, may be granted with such exercise price as the Administrator determines to be necessary to achieve such preservation of economic value.
 
        (C) Any Option that is granted to a Grantee not previously employed by the Company, or a Parent or Subsidiary, as a material inducement to the Grantee’s commencing employment with the

      (d) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. An Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that it is vested according to the terms of the Award Agreement.
      (e) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. The acceptable form of consideration may consist of any combination of cash, personal check, wire transfer or, subject to the approval of the Administrator:
        (i) pursuant to rules and procedures approved by the Administrator, promissory note;
 
        (ii) Mature Shares;
 
        (iii) pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, (A) through the sale of the Shares acquired on exercise of the Option through a broker-dealer to whom the Grantee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise and irrevocable instructions to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds sufficient to pay the exercise price, together with, if requested by the Company, the amount of federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes payable by the Grantee by reason of such exercise, or (B) through simultaneous sale through a broker of Shares acquired upon exercise; or
 
        (iv) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
      (f) Exercise of Option.
        (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.
        (A) Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.
 
        (B) An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
 
        (C) An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
        (1) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement and any action taken by the Administrator pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan or otherwise) from the person entitled to exercise the Option; and
 
        (2) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan;
 
        (3) Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Grantee or, if requested by the Grantee, in the name of the Grantee and his or her spouse. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

        (4) Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
      7.     Stock Appreciation Rights.
      (a) Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator may grant SARs in tandem with an Option or alone and unrelated to an Option. Tandem SARs shall expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Option.
      (b) Limitation. No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, SARs covering more than 3,000,000 Shares. The limitation described in this Section 7(b) shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 11 of the Plan. If a SAR is canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 11 of the Plan), the canceled SAR will be counted against the limitation described in this Section 7(b).
      (c) Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercised by the delivery of a written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company (in accordance with the Award Agreement and any action taken by the Administrator pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan or otherwise), setting forth the number of Shares over which the SAR is to be exercised. Tandem SARs may be exercised:
        (i) with respect to all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option;
 
        (ii) only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then exercisable; and
 
        (iii) only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the exercise price of the Option.
The value of the payment with respect to the tandem SAR may be no more than 100 percent of the difference between the exercise price of the underlying Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Option at the time the tandem SAR is exercised.
      (d) Payment of SAR Benefit. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
        (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the SAR exercise price; by
 
        (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised;
provided, that the Administrator may provide in the Award Agreement that the benefit payable on exercise of an SAR shall not exceed such percentage of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant as the Administrator shall specify. As determined by the Administrator, the payment upon exercise of an SAR may be in cash, in Shares that have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of exercise of the SAR) equal to the amount of the payment, or in some combination thereof, as set forth in the Award Agreement.
      8.     Stock Awards.
      (a) Authorization to Grant Stock Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator may grant Stock Awards to Employees or Consultants from time to time. Each Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall set forth the conditions, if any, which will need to be timely satisfied before the grant will be effective and the conditions, if any, under which the Grantee’s interest in the related Stock will be forfeited. No more than 3,000,000 Shares may be granted pursuant to Stock Awards to an individual Grantee in any calendar year.
      (b) Code Section 162(m) Provisions.

        (ii) If a Stock Award is subject to this Section 8(b), then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the distribution of Shares pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to satisfaction of one, or more than one, objective performance targets. The Compensation Committee shall determine the performance targets that will be applied with respect to each Stock Award subject to this Section 8(b) at the time of grant, but in no event later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance target(s) relate. The performance criteria applicable to Stock Awards subject to this Section 8(b) will be one or more of the following criteria: (A) stock price; (B) market share; (C) sales; (D) earnings per share, core earnings per share or variations thereof; (E) return on equity; (E) costs; (F) revenue; (G) cash to cash cycle; (H) days payables outstanding; (I) days of supply; (J) days sales outstanding; (K) cash flow; (L) operating income; (M) profit after tax; (N) profit before tax; (O) return on assets; (P) return on sales; (Q) inventory turns; (R) invested capital; (S) net operating profit after tax; (T) return on invested capital; (U) total shareholder return; (V) earnings; (W) return on equity or average shareowners’ equity; (X) total shareowner return; (Y) return on capital; (Z) return on investment; (AA) income or net income; (BB) operating income or net operating income; (CC) operating profit or net operating profit; (DD) operating margin; (EE) return on operating revenue; (FF) contract awards or backlog; (GG) overhead or other expense reduction; (HH) growth in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; (II) credit rating; (JJ) strategic plan development and implementation; (KK) net cash provided by operating activities; (LL) gross margin; (MM) economic value added; (NN) customer satisfaction; (OO) financial return ratios; (PP) market performance.
 
        (iii) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may not increase the number of shares granted pursuant to any Stock Award subject to this Section 8(b), nor may it waive the achievement of any performance target established pursuant to this Section 8(b).
 
        (iv) Prior to the payment of any Stock Award subject to this Section 8(b), the Compensation Committee shall certify in writing that the performance target(s) applicable to such Stock Award was met.
 
        (v) The Compensation Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Stock Awards subject to this Section 8(b) as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Stock Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and any successors thereto.
      9.     Performance Units and Performance Shares.
      (a) Grant of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Administrator may grant Performance Units or Performance Shares to any Employee or Consultant in such amounts and upon such terms as the Administrator shall determine.
      (b) Value/ Performance Goals. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on the Date of Grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant. The Administrator shall set performance goals that, depending upon the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units or Performance Shares that will be paid to the Grantee.

A-11


Table of Contents

      (c) Payment of Performance Units and Performance Shares.
        (i) Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment based on the number and value of Performance Units or Performance Shares earned by the Grantee over the Performance Period, determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved.
 
        (ii) If a Grantee is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit of the Company during a Performance Period, then, to the extent the Administrator determines appropriate, the Administrator may adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable Performance Period as it deems appropriate in order to make them appropriate and comparable to the initial performance goals or Performance Period.
      (d) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units and Performance Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units or Performance Shares shall be made in a lump sum following the close of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator may pay earned Performance Units or Performance Shares in cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units or Performance Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period. Such Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Administrator. The form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award.
      10.     Deferral of Receipt of Payment. The Administrator may permit or require a Grantee to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR, the grant of or the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Stock Awards or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units or Performance Shares. If any such deferral is required or permitted, the Administrator shall establish such rules and procedures for such deferral.
      11.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Change of Control.
      (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Covered Shares, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Covered Stock, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Covered Stock.
      (b) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, then the following provisions shall apply:
        (i) Vesting. Any Award outstanding on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred that is not yet exercisable and vested on such date:
        (A) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the first anniversary of the date of such Change in Control (the “Change in Control Anniversary”) if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant does not terminate prior to the Change in Control Anniversary;
 
        (B) shall become fully exercisable and vested on the Date of Termination if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company without Cause or resignation by the Grantee for Good Reason; or

A-12


Table of Contents

        (C) shall not become full exercisable and vested if the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates prior to the Change in Control Anniversary as a result of termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the Grantee without Good Reason.
      For purposes of this Section 11(b)(i), the following definitions shall apply:
        (D) “Cause” means:
        (1) A Grantee’s conviction of a crime involving fraud or dishonesty; or
 
        (2) A Grantee’s continued willful or reckless material misconduct in the performance of the Grantee’s duties after receipt of written notice from the Company concerning such misconduct;
  provided, however, that for purposes of Section 11(b)(i)(D)(2), Cause shall not include any one or more of the following: bad judgment, negligence or any act or omission believed by the Grantee in good faith to have been in or not opposed to the interest of the Company (without intent of the Grantee to gain, directly or indirectly, a profit to which the Grantee was not legally entitled).
        (E) “Good Reason” means:
        (1) The assignment to the Grantee of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Grantee’s position (including status, titles and reporting requirement), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company that results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action that is not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of written notice thereof given by the Grantee within 30 days following the assignment or other action by the Company;
 
        (2) Any reduction in compensation; or
 
        (3) Change in location of office of more than 35 miles without prior consent of the Grantee.
        (ii) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Award is outstanding, it will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option or SAR shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Grantee the right to exercise his or her Option or SAR as to all or any part of the Covered Stock, including Shares as to which the Option or SAR would not otherwise be exercisable.
 
        (iii) Merger or Asset Sale. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion, prior to the occurrence of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, in the event of such a merger or sale each outstanding Option or SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Option or SAR or to substitute an equivalent option or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Grantee to have the right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all or a portion of the Covered Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Administrator makes an Option or SAR exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Grantee that the Option or SAR shall be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase, for each Share of Covered Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a

A-13


Table of Contents

  choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.
 
        (iv) Except as otherwise determined by the Board, in its discretion, prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control other than the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, in the event of such a Change in Control, all outstanding Options and SARs, to the extent they are exercisable and vested (including Options and SARs that shall become exercisable and vested pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) above), shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price (reduced by the exercise price applicable to such Options or SARs). These cash proceeds shall be paid to the Grantee or, in the event of death of an Grantee prior to payment, to the estate of the Grantee or to a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance.
      12.     Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state law. The Plan shall continue in effect until October 17, 2011, unless terminated earlier under Section 13 of the Plan.
      13.     Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
      (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
      (b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 or with Section 422 of the Code (or any successor rule or statute or other applicable law, rule or regulation, including the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted). Furthermore, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any modification or amendment of the Plan to the extent that the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably determines, in accordance with the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, that such modification or amendment constitutes a material revision or material amendment of the Plan. Such stockholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the applicable law, rule or regulation.
      (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Grantee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Grantee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Grantee and the Company.
      14.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
      (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to an Award unless the exercise, if applicable, of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, Applicable Law, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
      (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

      15.     Liability of Company.
      (a) Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
      (b) Grants Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Covered Stock covered by an Award exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan without additional stockholder approval, such Award shall be void with respect to such excess Covered Stock, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan.
      16.     Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
      17.     Rights of Employees and Consultants. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon an Grantee any right with respect to continuing the Grantee’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Grantee’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
      18.     Sub-plans for Foreign Subsidiaries. The Board may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular foreign Subsidiaries. All Awards granted under such sub-plans shall be treated as grants under the Plan. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of the Plan, with the exception of Section 3, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

      5.     Annual Incentive Awards.
      (a) Each Participant shall be eligible to receive such Annual Incentive Award, if any, for each Fiscal Year as may be payable pursuant to the performance criteria described below. The Committee shall, on an annual basis, establish an Annual Incentive Award for each Participant. Annual Incentive Awards consist of cash amounts payable upon the achievement during a Fiscal Year of specified objective performance goals. No later than 90 days after the first day of the Fiscal Year, the Committee will establish the performance goal(s) and the amount to be paid if the performance goal(s) are achieved. The Annual Incentive Award, if any, for each Participant will be determined as a percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary, or as the sum of a percentage of the funds available for the payment of such Annual Incentive Award and a percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary up to a designated maximum percentage of the Participant’s Base Salary. The maximum Annual Incentive Award that may be awarded to a Participant for a Fiscal Year shall be 300% of the Participant’s Base Salary for such Fiscal Year.
      (b) Participants shall have their Annual Incentive Awards, if any, determined on the basis of the degree of achievement of performance goals which shall be established by the Committee in writing and which goals shall be stated in terms of the attainment of specified levels of or percentage changes (as compared to a prior measurement period) in any one or more of the following measurements: (1) stock price; (2) market share; (3) sales; (4) earnings per share, core earnings per share or variations thereof; (5) return on equity; (6) costs; (7) revenue; (8) cash to cash cycle; (9) days payables outstanding; (10) days of supply; (11) days sales outstanding; (12) cash flow; (13) operating income; (14) profit after tax; (15) profit before tax; (16) return on assets; (17) return on sales; (18) inventory turns; (19) invested capital; (20) net operating profit after tax; (21) return on invested capital; (22) total shareholder return; (23) earnings; (24) return on equity or average shareowners’ equity; (25) total shareowner return; (26) return on capital; (27) return on investment; (28) income or net income; (29) operating income or net operating income; (30) operating profit or net operating profit; (31) operating margin; (32) return on operating revenue; (33) contract awards or backlog; (34) overhead or other expense reduction; (35) growth in shareowner value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or a peer group index; (36) credit rating; (37) strategic plan development and implementation; (38) net cash provided by operating activities; (39) gross margin; (40) economic value added; (41) customer satisfaction; (42) financial return ratios; (43) market performance.
      The Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under the criteria set forth above to exclude certain items or events or in such other manner and to such extent as the Committee deems appropriate under the applicable circumstances. The Committee shall, for each Fiscal Year, establish the performance goal or goals from among the foregoing to apply to each Participant and a formula or matrix prescribing the extent to which such Participant’s annual incentive award shall be earned based upon the achievement of such performance goal or goals.
      (c) Each Annual Incentive Award shall be based solely on achievement of one or more of the applicable performance goals as established by the Committee pursuant to Section 5(a) above and the Committee shall not have the discretion to increase the amount of the Annual Incentive Award. No Annual Incentive Award shall be payable except upon written certification by the Committee that the performance goals have been satisfied to a particular extent and that any other material terms and conditions precedent to payment of an Annual Incentive Award have been satisfied.
      (d) Payment of any Annual Incentive Award amount to be paid to a Participant based upon the degree of attainment of the applicable performance goals shall be made at such time(s) as the Committee may in its discretion determine.
      6.     Discretionary Awards. The Committee may grant a cash award to any Participant in such amount and upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion.
      7.     Participant’s Interests. A Participant’s interest in any Awards shall at all times be reflected on the Company’s books as a general unsecured and unfunded obligation of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Plan shall not give any person any right or security interest in any asset of the Company or any fund in which any deferred payment is deemed invested. Neither the Company, the Board,

B-2


Table of Contents

nor the Committee shall be responsible for the adequacy of the general assets of the Company to discharge, or required to reserve or set aside funds for, the payment of its obligations hereunder.
      8.     Non-Alienation of Benefits; Beneficiary Designation. All rights and benefits under the Plan are personal to the Participant and neither the Plan nor any right or interest of a Participant or any other person arising under the Plan is subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, sale, transfer, or assignment. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall establish such procedures as it deems necessary for a Participant to designate one or more beneficiaries to whom any payment the Committee determines to make would be payable in the event of the Participant’s death.
      9.     Withholding for Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, the Company may withhold from any payment made by it under the Plan such amount or amounts as may be required for purposes of complying with any federal, state and local tax or withholding requirements.
      10.     Rights of Employees. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time, or confer upon any Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. A Participant shall not be entitled to any claim or recourse if any action or inaction by the Company, or any other circumstance or event, including any circumstance or event outside the control of the Participant, adversely affects the ability of the Participant to satisfy a performance goal or in any way prevents the satisfaction of a performance goal.
      11.     Determinations Final. Each determination provided for in the Plan shall be made by the Committee under such procedures as may from time to time be prescribed by the Committee and shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee. Any such determination shall be conclusive.
      12.     Adjustment of Awards. The Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the method of calculating attainment of performance goals in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Corporation or its financial statements or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his consent and that any such adjustments with respect to Annual Incentive Awards shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.
      13.     Amendment or Termination. The Board may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan from time to time. No such termination or amendment shall alter a Participant’s right to receive a distribution as previously earned, as to which this Plan shall remain in effect following its termination until all such amounts have been paid, except as the Company may otherwise determine.

approval if such change is announced at 15 days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected.
      5.     Participation.
      (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form provided by the Company and filing it with the Company’s payroll office at least 10 business days prior to the applicable Enrollment Date, unless a later time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period.
      (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.
      6.     Payroll Deductions.
      (a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10 percent of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, and the aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed 10 percent of the participant’s Compensation during said Offering Period.
      (b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be with held in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.
      (c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll reduction rate; provided, however, that a participant may not change his or her rate of payroll deductions more than once in a given Offering Period. The change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10.
      (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) herein, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent at such time during any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year (the “Current Offering Period”) that the aggregate of all payroll deductions which were previously used to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Offering Period which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to the Current Offering Period equal $25,000. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant’s subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

At any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefit attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.

      7.     Grant of Option.
      (a) On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Enrollment Date, and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10, and shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.
      (b) Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by employees of another corporation who become, or who became prior to the effective date of the Plan, Employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of such other corporation with the Company, or the acquisition by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets of such other corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary of stock of such other corporation with the result that such other corporation becomes a Designated Subsidiary.
      8.     Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10 below, his or her option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10. Any other monies left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.
      9.     Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.
      10.     Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.
      (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in the form provided by the Company. All of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made during the Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.
      (b) Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Employee for any reason or upon termination of a participant’s employment relationship (as described in Section 2(g)), the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.
      (c) In the event an Employee fails to remain an Employee of the Company for at least 20 hours per week during an Offering Period in which the Employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed to have

C-4


Table of Contents

elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to his or her account will be returned to such participant and such participant’s option terminated.
      (d) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.
      11.     Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan.
      12.     Stock.
      (a) The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be made available for sale under the Plan since the Plan became effective is 4,000,000, which includes shares that were available on November 28, 2005 for sale plus the shares sold prior to November 28, 2005, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18. If on a given Exercise Date the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.
      (b) The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.
      (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and his or her spouse.
      13.     Administration.
      (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of the Company or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. Members of the Board who are eligible Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan, provided that:
        (1) Members of the Board who are eligible to participate in the Plan may not vote on any matter affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of any option pursuant to the Plan.
 
        (2) If a Committee is established to administer the Plan, no member of the Board who is eligible to participate in the Plan may be a member of the Committee.
      (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor provision (“Rule 16b-3”) provides specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be only administered by such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.
      (c) The Board may adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which may vary with local requirements. The Board may also adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 12(a), but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

      14.     Designation of Beneficiary.
      (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.
      (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
      15.     Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10.
      16.     Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.
      17.     Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
      18.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control.
      (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.
      (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.
      (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board deter mines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of

C-6


Table of Contents

such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) or to cancel each outstanding right to purchase and refund all sums collected from participants during the Offering Period then in progress. If the Board shortens the Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least 10 business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for his option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that his option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date he has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10. For purposes of this Section, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or merger, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the sale of assets or merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the sale of assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the sale of assets or merger was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock and the sale of assets or merger.
      The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalization, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.
      19.     Amendment or Termination.
      (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
