On behalf of Flextronics, I am delighted to offer you the position of President, Flextronics Global

an incentive opportunity (multiplier) up to 300% (for certain metrics). Actual payout level is
dependent upon company performance and in accordance with the bonus plan for your organization.
Your shares of Flextronics stock will continue to vest at your previous service dates. The vesting

able to make an election until the next annual Open Enrollment. Consult the plan booklet for
more information. You should also note that the Company reserves the right to modify wages and
benefits from time to time at its discretion.

jointly determine whether to renew the special incentives, normalize your compensation and benefits

in this paragraph is intended to alter your at-will employment status.
In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential

right to terminate the employment relationship at any time for any lawful reason, with or without
advance notice, with or without cause. The at-will nature of employment with Flextronics is an
aspect of your employment that cannot be changed, except in writing signed by you and an officer of

superseded by this offer. In addition, the Company has the right to take any personnel action
(e.g., change of status, relocation, change of salary and benefits, etc.) at any time, for any
lawful reason, with or without advance notice, with or without cause.
Additionally, in the event of a separation of employment for reasons other than good cause or due
to redundancy, upon signing of a release and waiver of all claims agreement with Flextronics (which
will include clauses providing for non-disclosure of confidential or proprietary information and
non-solicitation of customers or employees), you will be eligible to receive a severance package
consistent with that offered to executives at your level and as approved by the Compensation
Committee. However, if you voluntarily resign your employment with Flextronics or if your
employment with Flextronics is terminated for good cause (other than redundancy), you may not be
entitled to severance. Note that neither this provision nor anything in this document is intended
to modify or alter your at-will employment status.
Your eligibility for severance consistent with that offered to executives at your level and as
approved by the Compensation Committee as described above will be in lieu of any severance provided
for in any currently existing employment agreement, policy and/or practice, written or otherwise,
