From time to time, Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore company
(the "Company"), may enter into one or more warrant agreements that provide for
the issuance and sale of warrants ("Warrants") to purchase debt securities of
the Company ("Debt Securities"). The standard provisions set forth herein may be
included or incorporated by reference in any such warrant agreement (a "Warrant
Agreement"). The Warrant Agreement, including the provisions incorporated
therein by reference, is herein referred to as this "Agreement." The person
named as the "Warrant Agent" in the first paragraph of the Warrant Agreement is
herein referred to as the "Warrant Agent." Unless otherwise defined in this
Agreement or in the Warrant Agreement, as the case may be, terms defined in the
Warrant Agreement are used herein as therein defined and terms defined herein
are used in the Warrant Agreement as herein defined.
ARTICLE 1
ISSUANCE, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
1.1 Issuance of Warrant Certificates. A warrant certificate (a
"Warrant Certificate") shall evidence one or more Warrants. Each Warrant
evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained
herein and therein, to purchase a Debt Security in the principal amount set
forth in the Warrant Agreement. The number of Warrants which may be issued and
delivered under this Agreement is unlimited.
There shall be established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board
of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee thereof or
established in one or more Warrant Agreements supplemental hereto, prior to the
issuance of any Warrants: the purchase price of the Warrants; the designation of
the Debt Securities for which the Warrants are exercisable; whether the Warrants
are issued together as a unit with any other securities of the Company, the date
after which such Warrants shall be freely tradable separately from such other
securities (the "Distribution Date") and if the Company may at its option or
under circumstances described therein provide for an earlier Distribution Date;
the Expiration Date pursuant to Section 2.2; the Exercise Price and any form of
consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by which
the Exercise Price may be paid pursuant to Section 2.1; the Call Price, Call
Date and Call Terms pursuant to Section 3.4 and the limitations, if any, upon
the Reduced Exercise Price and the Reduced Exercise Price Period pursuant to
Section 3.5; and the covenants of the Company, if any.
1.2 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant
Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in registered form substantially in such
form or forms as shall be established by the Company from time to time pursuant
to one or more resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or in one or
more warrant agreements supplemental hereto, and in each case shall be dated as
of the date of issuance thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other
marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the
Warrant Certificate may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of
such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, or as may be required to comply with (i) any law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or (ii) any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which the Warrant Certificates may be listed, or to conform to
usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors,
its President, a Vice President or its
1
Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and under its
seal. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized
officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof
and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates.
No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant
evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been
countersigned by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by
the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly
delivered hereunder.
If any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant
Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such
officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned
and delivered to the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may
be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such Warrant
Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Any Warrant
Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the
actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper
officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement
any such person was not an officer.
1.3 Registration and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent shall, upon
receipt of Warrant Certificates, duly executed on behalf of the Company,
countersign the Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to purchase the
principal amount of the Debt Securities set forth in the Warrant Agreement and
shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to the appropriate person or entity upon
the order of the Company. After the original issuance of the Warrant
Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall countersign a Warrant Certificate only if
the Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for, or in
connection with the registration of transfer of, one or more previously
countersigned Warrant Certificates, as hereinafter provided. The Warrant
Certificates shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.
The Warrant Agent's countersignature on all Warrants shall be in
substantially the following form:
[NAME OF WARRANT AGENT],
as Warrant Agent

Authorized Signatory
ARTICLE 2
EXERCISE PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
2.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Warrant and any other
form of consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by
which the exercise price may be paid shall be as set forth in the Warrant
Agreement. The exercise price (including moneys and such other consideration) of
the Debt Securities upon exercise of the Warrants is
2
referred to in this Agreement as the "Exercise Price" and is payable in full at
the time of exercise.
2.2 Duration of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates may be
exercised in whole at any time, and in part from time to time, during the period
set forth in the Warrant Agreement (the "Expiration Date"). Each Warrant
Certificate not exercised on or before the close of business on the Expiration
Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder thereunder and under this
Agreement shall cease.
2.3 Exercise of Warrant Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Expiration Date, a Warrant Certificate, if
countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised in whole or in part by
providing certain information set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant
Certificate and, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.1, by paying in
full (in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House
funds or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds), in United States
dollars, the Exercise Price for the Debt Securities as to which the Warrant
Certificate is exercised, to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office at
the address set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The payment must specify the
name of the holder and the number of Warrants exercised by such holder. Warrants
will be deemed to have been exercised upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the
Exercise Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed
by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal
representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be
guaranteed by a bank or trust company, by a broker or dealer which is a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a
member of a national securities exchange. If the Warrant Agent receives moneys
in payment of the Exercise Price, the Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds
received by it in the account of the Company maintained with it for such
purpose. If the Warrant Agent receives consideration other than moneys for the
Debt Securities, the Warrant Agent shall deliver such consideration directly to
the Company. In either case, the Warrant Agent shall advise the Company by telex
or telecopy at the end of each day as to the Warrant Certificates that have been
exercised and the amount of moneys deposited to its account or the type and
amount of other consideration to be delivered to it.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as
practicable, advise the Company and the Trustee of (i) the number of Warrants
exercised, (ii) the instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates
evidencing such Warrants with respect to delivery of the Debt Securities to
which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant
Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after
such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company or the Trustee
shall reasonably require.
(c) A Warrant Certificate may be exercised in part to purchase
Debt Securities only in the denominations authorized pursuant to the indenture
under which the Debt Securities are issued (the "Indenture").
(d) As soon as practicable after receipt of payment of the
Exercise Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed
at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, the Company shall issue,
pursuant to the Indenture, upon the order of the holder
3
of such Warrant Certificate, the Debt Securities in authorized denominations to
which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form in such name or names as
may be directed by such holder, and if such Warrant Certificate was not
exercised in full, upon request of the holder, a new Warrant Certificate
evidencing the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be issued if
sufficient time remains prior to the Expiration Date.
(e) The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable
to the initial issuance of Warrants and of Debt Securities upon the exercise of
Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Debt Securities in a
name other than the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon
the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
ARTICLE 3
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
3.1 No Rights as Securityholders Conferred by Warrant Certificates.
No Warrant Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of
a holder of Debt Securities, including the right to receive the payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Debt Securities or to enforce any of the
covenants of the Debt Securities or the Indenture except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture.
3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon
receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to them of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
Warrant Certificate, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them, and, in
the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent for
cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent
that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall
manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of
the same tenor and for a like number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of any new
Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expense (including the fees and expenses of
the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate
executed and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all
other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions
of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and
all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.
4
3.3 Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding
any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of any Warrant Certificate,
without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the Trustee, the holder of any Debt
Security or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in his or her own
behalf and for his or her own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain
any audit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce or otherwise in
respect of, his right to exercise his or her Warrant Certificate in the manner
provided in his or her Warrant Certificate and in his or her Agreement.
3.4 Call of Warrants by the Company. If so provided in the Warrant
Agreement, the Company shall, subject to all applicable laws and regulations,
have the right to call and repurchase any or all Warrants at the price (the
"Call Price") and on or after the date (the "Call Date") and upon the terms (the
"Call Terms") as shall be established from time to time in or pursuant to
resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or in the Warrant Agreement
before the issuance of such Warrants. Notice of such Call Price, Call Date and
Call Terms shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the
Company or the Warrant Agent.
3.5 Optional Reduction of Exercise Price. Subject to the limits, if
any, established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company or
in the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have the right, at any time or from
time to time, voluntarily to reduce the then current Exercise Price to such
amount (the "Reduced Exercise Price") and for such period or periods of time,
which may be through the close of business on the Expiration Date (the "Reduced
Exercise Price Period"), as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors
of the Company. Notice of any such Reduced Exercise Price and Reduced Exercise
Price Period shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the
Company or the Warrant Agent. After the termination of the Reduced Exercise
Price Period, the Exercise Price shall be such Exercise Price that would have
been in effect had there been no reduction in the Exercise Price pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3.5.
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
4.1 Exchange and Transfer. Upon surrender at the corporate trust office
of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged
for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants and the
transfer of Warrants may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such
other Warrant Certificates shall evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants
as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange or registration of
transfer. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in
which it shall register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of
outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to
the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of
transfer, properly completed and duly endorsed and duly signed by the registered
holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof
or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by (a) a bank
or trust company, (b) a broker or dealer that is a member of the NASD or (c) a
member of a national securities exchange and accompanied by appropriate
instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer,
all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge
shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant
Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
5
stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever any
Warrant Certificates are surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer,
an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall mutually countersign and
deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificate duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so
requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or
registration of transfer that will result in the issuance of a Warrant
Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and
a fraction of a Warrant. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange or
registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations
of the Company, evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same
benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for such
exchange or registration of transfer.
4.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. Every holder of a
Warrant Certificate, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the
Company, the Warrant Agent and with every subsequent holder of such Warrant
Certificate that, until the transfer of the Warrant Certificate is registered on
the books of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the
registered holder as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the
person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced
thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
4.3 Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate
surrendered for exercise, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if
surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent, and all Warrant
Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly
canceled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and, except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in
lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time,
or otherwise dispose of, canceled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory
to the Company.
ARTICLE 5

(a) Performance by the Company. The Company agrees that it will
take any corporate action that may be reasonably necessary in order to fulfill
its obligations under this
6
Agreement and the Warrant Certificates, and that it will not take any action
that would impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement
and the Warrant Certificates.

to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for
all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees)
incurred by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder
by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in
connection with its acting as the Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the costs
and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises.
(c) Agent for the Company. In acting under this Warrant Agreement
and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting
solely as an agent of the Company, and the Warrant Agent does not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or
holders of the Warrant Certificates.
(d) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel

(f) Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent and its officers,
directors and employees may act as Trustee under the Indenture and may become
the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrant Certificates, with the
same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Warrant Agent
hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, they may engage or be
interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act
on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of
the Debt Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were
not the Warrant Agent.

Warrant Agent herein and for its countersignature on the Warrant Certificates),
all of which are made solely by the Company.
(j) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated
to perform such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates
specifically set forth, but no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The
Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder
which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which
within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The
Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for
the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the
Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or
for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates.
The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by
the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained in the
Warrant Certificates or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a
holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default, including any duty
or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or
otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, to make any demand upon
the Company.
(k) Instructions. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and
directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder from the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President, any Vice President, the Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
instructions of any such officer or in good faith reliance upon any statement
signed by any one of such officers of the Company with respect to any fact or
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically
prescribed) which may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by
such signed statement
5.3 Resignation and Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent.
(a) The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time
to time of the Warrant Certificates, that at all times there shall be a Warrant
Agent hereunder until all the Warrant Certificates are no longer exercisable.
(b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by
giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying
the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided that
such date shall not be less than 60 days after the date on which such notice is
given unless the Company agrees to accept less notice. The Warrant Agent may be
removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by
or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal an the date when it
shall become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the
appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Warrant
Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or of any State, in good standing, and
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers) and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. Upon its
resignation or removal, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to the payment by
the Company of the
8
compensation agreed to under Section 5.2(b) hereof for, and to the reimbursement
of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with, the
services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent.
(c) If at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or shall be
removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking relief under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or under any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy law or similar law or make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or consent to the appointment of a receiver or
custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver
or custodian of it or of all or any substantial part of its property shall be
appointed, or if an order of any court shall be entered for relief against it
under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or
under any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy or similar law or if any
public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its
property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in
writing, filed with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment of a
successor Warrant Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment, the
Warrant Agent so superseded shall cease to be the Warrant Agent hereunder.
(d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor
Warrant Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and
obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as
Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and
disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver
and pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all
moneys, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such
predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder.
