Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 19, 2011, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Aruba Networks, Inc. (the Company)
approved a new form of Indemnification Agreement (the New Indemnification Agreement) to be
entered into by the Company with the members of the Board, Section 16 executive officers of the
Company and other Board-appointed officers of the Company. Effective May 19, 2011, copies of the
New Indemnification Agreement were executed on behalf of the Company and were distributed to the
eligible individuals for countersignature.
For the current members of the Board, Section 16 executive officers of the Company and other
Board-appointed officers of the Company that had entered into the Companys previous form of
indemnification agreement, the entry into the New Indemnification Agreement will replace and
supersede the previous indemnification agreement with the Company.
As is the case with the Companys previous form of indemnification agreement, the New
Indemnification Agreement obligates the Company to indemnify the indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law if the indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant
in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any legal matter
that relates to the indemnitees service to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other
entity to which the indemnitee provides services at the Companys request, subject to certain
exclusions and procedures set forth therein. As is the case with the Companys previous form of
indemnification agreement, the New Indemnification Agreement also obligates the Company to advance
expenses incurred in connection with any such legal matter, subject to repayment by the indemnitee
if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company.
The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to be a complete description of the
New Indemnification Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the New
Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
