INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.01
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into this ___day of ___, 2009
between Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore corporation (the “Company”), and ___,
a director and/or officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”).
RECITALS:
A. The Indemnitee, an officer and/or director of the Company, performs a valuable service in
such capacity for Company;
B. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company desires to retain highly competent
individuals to serve as directors and officers or in other capacities and to protect such
individuals against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of the Company;
C. The Board has determined that the difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is
detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to
assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;
D. It is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to contractually obligate itself to
indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or
continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;
E. Section 172 of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”), permits the Company to
indemnify by agreement its officers and directors; and
G. The Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Articles of
Association or insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve
as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires the Indemnitee to
serve in such capacity. The Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on
additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he or she be so
indemnified.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s continued service as a director and/or
officer of the Company after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve as a director
and/or officer of the Company, at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such
agreement exists), so long as he or she is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Articles of Association of the Company; provided,
however, that the Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position
(subject to any contractual obligation that the Indemnitee may have assumed apart from this
Agreement), and the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the
Indemnitee in any such position. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create any
right to continued employment or other form of service for the Company by the Indemnitee.
2. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company shall obtain and maintain one or
more policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) customary for
similarly situated companies, providing directors and officers of the Company with coverage on
customary terms and conditions, and to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement. In all policies of D&O Insurance, the Indemnitee shall be named
as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee at least the same rights and benefits
as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s Agents. The purchase, establishment
and maintenance of D&O Insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of
the Company or the Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way
limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or any other party or parties under any
such D&O Insurance.
3. Indemnity of Indemnitee.
3.1 General Indemnification. Subject to Section 7 below and to the provisions of the
Act, the Company shall hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 3.1 if the Indemnitee was or is made, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a
participant in (as a witness or otherwise) any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director and/or officer of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done by him
or her in any such capacity. Indemnitee shall be indemnified under this Section 3.1 against all
Expenses and judgments, liabilities, Fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any of
the foregoing (collectively, “Losses”), which are actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee or that may be incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee (i) in connection with any
Proceeding, or any action, discovery event, claim, issue or matter therein or related thereto, if
such indemnification is not against any liability which by law would otherwise attach to him or her
in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the Indemnitee
may be guilty in relation to the Company, (ii) in defending any Proceeding in which judgment is
given in his or her favor or in which he or she is acquitted or (iii) in connection with any
application under Sections 76A (13) or 391 or any other provision of the Act, in which relief is
granted to him or her by the court.
3.2 Additional Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitations in Section 3.1 hereof
but subject to Section 7 below, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.2 to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without
limitation (i) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Act as in
effect as of the date of this Agreement that authorize or contemplate indemnification by the
Company of the Indemnitee in his or her capacity as an Agent and (ii) to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by any amendments or additions to or replacements of such provisions which
are adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a corporation may
indemnify such a Person in such a capacity). Indemnitee shall be
2
indemnified under this Section 3.2 against all Expenses and Losses actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee or that may be incurred on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with
any Proceeding, or any action, discovery event, claim issue or matter therein or related thereto,
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an Agent, or by reason of anything done or not done
by him or her in any such capacity.
3.3 Expenses as a Witness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that, by
reason of his or her status as an Agent, the Indemnitee is a witness in any Proceeding to which the
Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection
therewith.
4. Reliance; Partial Indemnification and Contribution.
4.1 Reliance. The Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable
standard of conduct to be entitled to indemnification hereunder if in taking any action the
Indemnitee relied on the records or books of account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company (collectively, “Flextronics”), including without limitation financial statements, or on
information, opinions, reports or statements provided to the Indemnitee by the officers or other
employees of Flextronics in the ordinary course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel
for Flextronics, or on information or records given or reports made to Flextronics by an
independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by Flextronics,
or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters
the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence
and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of Flextronics. In connection with
any determination as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to the presumption that he or she has satisfied the applicable
standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the burden of proof shall be on the
Company to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, that the Indemnitee is not so entitled.
The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge or actions, or failures to act, of
any other Person serving Flextronics shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for the purposes of
determining the right to indemnification hereunder.
4.2 Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses or Losses
incurred by him or her, but is not entitled to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof,
then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the
portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. For the avoidance of
doubt, if the Indemnitee is not wholly successful in any Proceeding but is successful, on the
merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in any
Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with each successfully
resolved claim, issue or matter. The Indemnitee’s satisfaction of the applicable standard of
conduct described in Section 4.1 with respect to a particular claim, issue or matter shall be
considered a successful resolution as to such claim, issue or matter. Furthermore,
3
subject to the provisions of the Act, for purposes of this Agreement, and without limitation,
the termination of any claim, issue or matter by dismissal with or without prejudice shall be
deemed to be a successful resolution as to such claim, issue or matter. In any review or
Proceeding to determine the extent of indemnification, the Company shall bear the burden to
establish by clear and convincing evidence, the lack of a successful resolution of a particular
claim, issue or matter and which amounts sought in indemnity are allocable to claims, issues or
matters which were not successfully resolved.
4.3 Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the
indemnification and hold harmless rights provided in Section 3 are unavailable to the Indemnitee in
whole or in part in respect of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first
instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such Proceeding without requiring the
Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right
of contribution it may have against the Indemnitee. The Company shall not enter into any
settlement in any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would
be if joined in such Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of
all claims asserted against the Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnitee from any claims for contribution which may be brought by any Agent of the
Company other than the Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with the Indemnitee.
5. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. Subject to Section 8 below, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred or to be incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, including in connection with the investigation,
defense, settlement or appeal of any such Proceeding, or any action, discovery event, claim, issue
or matter therein or related thereto, to which the Indemnitee was or is made, or is threatened to
be made, a party to or a participant in (as a witness or otherwise) by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was an Agent, or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in such
capacity. The Indemnitee hereby undertakes to promptly repay such amounts advanced only if, and to
the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles of Association of
the Company, the Act or otherwise. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid from time to
time, whether prior to or after the final disposition of any Proceeding, by the Company to the
Indemnitee within ten (10) days following delivery of a written request therefor by the Indemnitee
to the Company and the presentation to the Company of an invoice or other substantiation of the
specific nature and amount of each Expense to be advanced by the Company. Such advances shall be
unsecured, interest free and shall be made without regard to the Indemnitee’s ability to repay the
Expenses and without regard to the Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the
other provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Company advances an amount in excess of
any properly documented Expense, the Indemnitee shall return such excess to the Company within ten
(10) days of (i) the discovery by the Indemnitee of the excess of such advance or (ii) the
notification by the Company of its discovery of the excess of such advance. The Indemnitee’s right
to advancement of Expenses hereunder is absolute and shall not be subject to any prior
determination by any Person that the Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct
for indemnification.

6. Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.
6.1 Notice and Request for Indemnification. The Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify
the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint,
indictment, information or other notice of the commencement of or the threat of the commencement of
any Proceeding, if the Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought
from the Company under this Agreement. The failure of the Indemnitee to so notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this
Agreement or otherwise. The Indemnitee shall at such time or at any time thereafter deliver to the
Company a written request for indemnification in accordance with this Agreement. Any such request
may be delivered at such time or times as the Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole
discretion. Promptly, following such request for indemnification, the Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
6.2 Notice to D&O Insurance Providers. At the time of the receipt of a notice of the
commencement of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such Proceeding to the providers of D&O Insurance then in effect in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance
policies.
6.3 Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company shall be obligated to advance
Expenses to the Indemnitee and so long as there shall not have occurred a Change in Control, the
Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by the
Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), upon the delivery to the Indemnitee
of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such
counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be
liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees and Expenses of counsel subsequently
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that: (a) the
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in any such Proceeding at the
Indemnitee’s sole expense (not to be reimbursed or otherwise indemnified or paid by the Company);
(b) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with any
such Proceeding, at the expense of the Company, if such counsel serves in a reviewer, observer,
advice and counseling capacity and does not otherwise materially control or participate in the
defense of such Proceeding; and (c) if (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been
previously authorized by the Company, (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense
of such Proceeding, then the fees and Expenses of the Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense
of the Company. The Company shall not settle any action, claim or Proceeding (in whole or in part)
which would impose any Expense, Loss or limitation on the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior
written consent.

7. Determination of Right to Indemnification.
7.1 Payment. If the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days following the request for
indemnification under Section 6.1 and the presentation to the Company of an invoice or other
substantiation of the specific nature and amount of each indemnifiable Expense or Loss, as
determined necessary and appropriate by the Company. In the event that the Company pays or
reimburses an amount in excess of any properly documented indemnifiable Expense or Loss, the
Indemnitee shall return such excess to the Company within ten (10) days of (i) the discovery by the
Indemnitee of the excess payment or reimbursement or (ii) the notification by the Company of its
discovery of the excess payment or reimbursement.
7.2 Enforcement of Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the
