Award Agreement for Deferred Compensation Plan 

Dear Carrie:

            I am pleased to confirm that Flextronics International USA, Inc. (the “Company”) has agreed to
provide you with a deferred long term incentive bonus in return for services to be rendered in the
future as an employee of the Company (the “Deferred Bonus”). The Deferred Bonus will equal thirty
percent (30%) of your annual base salary in effect on July 1, 2005, and on July 1st of
each subsequent year. Thus, on July 1, 2005, subject to the limitations below, and on each
subsequent July 1st on which you are eligible to earn the Deferred Bonus, you will earn
a Deferred Bonus equal 30% of your annual base salary in effect on that day.

            Before July 1st of each subsequent year, the Company will make a determination, in
its sole and absolute discretion, of your eligibility to earn the Deferred Bonus for that July
1st. From time to time, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make
additional contributions to your Deferred Bonus. The Company reserves the right to amend or
terminate the Deferred Bonus at any time for all amounts of the Deferred Bonus that have not been
earned on the date of the amendment or termination. If your employment with the Company is
terminated for any reason, you will no longer be eligible to earn the Deferred Bonus.

            The Deferred Bonus will not be paid currently to you. Instead, the amount of the Deferred
Bonus will be credited to the account (the “Deferral Account”) established on your behalf under the
Flextronics International USA, Inc. 2005 Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan (the
“Deferred Compensation Plan”). (This agreement will constitute the Award Agreement referred to in
Section 3 of your Deferral Agreement entered into pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan.)

            The Deferred Account will vest as follows: One-third of the unvested balance of the Deferral
Account will vest on the first July 1st that occurs at least one year after the day that
(i) the sum of your age and your years of service with the Company equals or exceeds 60 and (ii)
you have fulfilled at least five years of service with the Company (the “First Vesting Day”).
One-half of the remaining unvested balance of the Deferral Account will vest one year after the
First Vesting Day (the “Second Vesting Day”). Accordingly 2/3 rds of the Deferral Account
will be vested on the Second Vesting Day (assuming no accelerated vesting has occurred as a result
of a Change of Control, as addressed below). The remaining unvested portion of the Deferral Account
will vest one year after the Second Vesting Day (the “Third Vesting Day”). Thus, the Deferred
Account will be 100% vested on the Third Vesting Day.

            In particular, we understand that, on July 1, 2005 you will be 39 years old and will have 3
years of service with the Company, so that the sum of your age and years of service will be 42.
Therefore, if you remain continuously employed with the Company until July 1, 2015, that day will
be the first July 1st that occurs at least one year after the day on which your years of
service plus your age will equal or exceed 60. Accordingly, that day will be the First Vesting Day,
and 1/3rd of the unvested balance of your Deferral Account will vest on that day.
One-half of the remaining unvested balance of your Deferral Account
will vest on July 1, 2016, i.e., the Second Vesting Day; and the remaining unvested portion of your Deferral Account will vest
on July 1, 2017, i.e., the Third Vesting Day.

            Any amounts of the Deferred Bonus that are earned when any portion of your Deferral Account
has already vested will vest as if they had been earned before any portion was vested. That is, the
percentage of any such Deferred Bonus that equals the vested percentage of your Deferral Account on
the earning day will be credited to the vested portion of the Deferral Account, and the remainder
will be credited to the unvested portion of your Deferral Account, which will vest in accordance
with the normal vesting schedule. The entire amount of any Deferred Bonus earned on or after the
Third Vesting Day will be credited to the vested portion of the Deferral Account when earned, since
the Deferral Account will be 100% vested on and after that date.

            Special vesting rules apply in the event of your death or a “Change of Control” as defined in
the Deferred Compensation Plan. Specifically, your account shall be 100% vested upon your death, if
you are employed with the Company at that time. Upon a “Change of Control” as defined in the
Deferred Compensation Plan, if you are still employed with the Company you will be deemed to have
vested in that percentage of any unvested portion of the Deferred Account equal to the number of
complete months during which you have remained continuously employed with the company during the
twelve-year period from July 1, 2005 through July 1, 2017 divided by 144. Any portion of your
Deferral Account that remains unvested after a Change of Control shall continue to vest in
accordance with the schedule described above. For example, if a Change of Control occurs on July 1,
2006, and you are still employed with the Company, then 1/12th of your Deferral Account
will vest on the Change of Control; 1/3rd of the 11/12ths portion of your
Deferral Account that remained unvested immediately after the Change of Control will vest on the
First Vesting Day (so that 7/18ths will then be vested); an additional 1/2 of the
11/18ths portion of your Deferral Account that remained unvested immediately after the
First Vesting Day will vest on the Second Vesting Day (so that 25/36ths will then be
vested); and the remaining unvested portion of your Deferral Account will vest on the Third Vesting
Day.

            If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason before the entire Deferred
Bonus has vested, the unvested percentage of your Deferral Account (as
determined at the end of the day of your termination) will be terminated and forfeited for no
consideration. For example, if your employment is terminated before the First Vesting Day, you will
be entirely unvested on that date, and your entire Deferral Account will be forfeited; and if your
employment is terminated on or after the First Vesting Day but on or before the Second Vesting Day,
you will be 1/3rd vested on that date, and 2/3rds of your entire Deferral
Account will be forfeited. (These examples assume that no Change of Control occurs at any relevant
time and your employment is not terminated by reason of death.)

            After your separation from service with the Company, you will receive a distribution of any
vested balance (less applicable tax withholdings) in accordance with the provisions of the Deferred
Compensation Plan and your Deferral Agreement.

            You understand and acknowledge that your account balance under the Deferred Compensation Plan
will be reachable by the Company’s general creditors upon the insolvency of the Company. You also
understand and acknowledge that you will not be entitled to accelerate distributions from the
Deferred Compensation Plan except in the event of your Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency as
defined under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

            The Deferred Bonus will be in addition to any rights that you have under any other agreement
with the Company. Any Deferred Bonus will not be deemed to be salary or other compensation for the
purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company
for the benefit of its employees.

            If a future change in law would, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee or Plan
Administrator, likely accelerate taxation to you of amounts that would be credited to your account
under the Deferred Compensation Plan in the future, you and the Company will attempt to amend the
Deferred Compensation Plan to satisfy the requirements of the change in law and, unless and until
such an amendment is agreed to, the Company will cease to credit Deferred Bonuses to your account
established under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

            The Deferred Bonus does not give you any right to be retained by the Company, and does not
affect the right of the Company to dismiss any employee. The Company may withhold from any payment
of the Deferred Bonus as may be required pursuant to applicable law.

            Enclosed are:

            (1)           Flextronics International USA, Inc. 2005 Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan;

            (2)           Deferral Agreement Form for 2005 and Beneficiary Form; and

            (3)            Summary of the 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan.

By signing below, you represent that you have read and understand these documents and have had
adequate opportunity to ask any questions about the documents. You understand that although the
Company has attempted to structure a plan to accomplish the tax results discussed in the documents,
the Company cannot warrant that the tax effect on you will be as expected. You also understand that
the Company and its representatives are not attempting to give you tax advice. We strongly advise
you to seek any tax advice from your own tax adviser.

shall nonetheless be given effect. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California without regard to conflict of law rules.

EXHIBIT 10.04

AMENDMENT TO

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

          This Amendment (the “Amendment”) is entered into as of the 19 day of June, 2007, by and
between Flextronics International Ltd (the “Company”), a Singapore corporation (“FIL”), and Thomas
J. Smach, an officer of FIL and the Company (the “Employee”).

          Whereas, pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement dated as of January 8, 2003 by and
among the Company and Employee (the “Indemnification Agreement”), the Company agreed to indemnify
Employee and advance expenses to Employee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete)
permitted by law and as set forth in the Indemnification Agreement;

          Whereas, from time to time, FIL, directly or through its subsidiaries, makes
investments in third party companies (each a “Company”) and in connection with such investments,
FIL obtains a contractual right to designate a director to the Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Company Board”); and

          Whereas, from time to time, FIL may request that Employee serve as FIL’s representative
on the Company Board (the “Flextronics Representative”); and

          Whereas, pursuant to the Flextronics Group’s Employee Outside Board Service Policy a
copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Service Policy”), the Flextronics Group will
agree to indemnify Employee against claims related to Employee’s service as a Flextronics
Representative subject to Employee’s agreement that any compensation paid by the Company with
respect to any period during which the Employee is serving as the Flextronics Representative will
be transferred to the Flextronics Group as further provided in the Service Policy.

          Now, therefore, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:

	 	1.	 	The Indemnification Agreement be, and it hereby is, amended as follows:

	 	a.	 	Section 1.1 is amended to provide that the term “agent” also includes
service as a Flextronics Representative as provided in this Amendment;
	 
	 	b.	 	Section 1.4 is amended to provide that for purposes of this Amendment
only, “subsidiary” means any Company for whom Employee serves as a
Flextronics Representative.
	 
	 	c.	 	Section 2 is amended to provide, for purposes of this Amendment only,
that Employee’s service as an “agent” for FIL shall only apply for so long
as FIL has the right to designate a Flextronics Representative and FIL so
designates Employee as the Flextronics Representative.

1

 

	 	2.	 	Employee agrees to transfer any compensation he may receive from his service on
a Company Board as the Flextronics Representative to the Flextronics Group in
accordance with the Service Policy.
	 
	 	3.	 	Except as otherwise modified by this Amendment, the Indemnification
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
	 
	 	4.	 	In the event of any conflict between this Amendment and the Services Policy, the
order of precedence will be: Services Policy; Amendment; Indemnification
Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement effective as of the
date first written above.
