SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
  
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into on the
             day of             , 2005 by and between Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, a
Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), and                      (“Indemnitee”) and is deemed to be
effective as of the 6th day of May, 2005. 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 A. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 
  
 B. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees,
agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks while the availability and coverage of liability insurance has become severely limited. 
  
 C. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and, in part, in order
to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law. 
  
 D. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that
Indemnitee be indemnified by the Company as set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Indemnification 
  
 (a)
General Right to Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (as defined in Section 9(g) hereof) if 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 threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good
faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter a “Claim”), by reason of (or
arising in whole or in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in such capacity (hereinafter
an “Indemnifiable Event”), and the Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any and all costs, charges, expenses, 

 liabilities, losses, (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and all other costs, expenses and obligations
(including any travel related expenses) incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in, any such action, suit, proceeding,
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of
such Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement (collectively, hereinafter “Expenses”), including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses. Such indemnification shall terminate three (3) years after the date on which the relevant approval by the Company’s shareholders has been obtained
in accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK Listing Rules”) (the “Termination Date”) and shall continue to be effective as to the Indemnitee
even if the Indemnitee ceases to be a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (or to serve another entity at the request of the Company) at any time prior to the Termination Date. Such
indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, personal representatives and estate. Such payment of Expenses shall be made by the Company as soon as practicable but in any event no later than twenty days after written
demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company. The indemnification referred to in this Agreement is however subject to a maximum aggregate annual value of US$20,000,000 which is the maximum amount which the Company’s directors’
and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) will currently cover per annum for all claims against the Company’s directors and officers, provided that the Company’s liability to indemnify a particular director or
chief executive officer shall not exceed the amount payable in respect of such director or officer under the D&O Insurance. 
  
 (b) Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section 1(a) shall be subject to the condition that
the Reviewing Party (as defined in Section 9(e) hereof) shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in Section 1(c) hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under Applicable Law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 2(a) (an “Expense Advance”) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to
the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under Applicable Law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such
amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under
Applicable Law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under Applicable Law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance
until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). The Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no
interest shall be charged thereon. If there has not been a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9(c) hereof), the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), and if

  

 2 

 there has been such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control in which a majority of the members of the board
of directors of the surviving company consists of members of the Board of Directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel as selected in accordance with Section 1(c) hereof. If there
has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under Applicable Law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence
litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to
appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. 
  
 (c) Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control in which a majority
of the members of the board of directors of the surviving company consists of members of the Board of Directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then, with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the right of Indemnitee to
payments of Expenses and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as now or hereafter in effect, Independent Legal Counsel (as defined in Section 9(d) hereof)
shall be selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to
what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under Applicable Law, and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to
fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. 
  
 (d) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Subject to Sections 1(a) and 8
hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, alternative dispute resolution
mechanism or investigation referred to in Section (1)(a) hereof or in the defense of any Claim, issue or matter covered by this Agreement, or in defense of any Claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. 
  
 2. Expenses; Indemnification Procedure. 
  
 (a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee subject to the limit set forth in Section 1(a). The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to
Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later than twenty days after written demand by Indemnitee therefor to the Company. 
  
 (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified under this Agreement,
give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided, however, that failure to provide such 
  

 3 

 notice in accordance with this Section 2(b) shall not affect Indemnitee’s rights to receive any Expenses or Expense
Advances hereunder unless and except to the extent that the Company did not otherwise receive notice of such Claim and such failure of Indemnitee to provide such notice results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses.
Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition,
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information (in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable without material expense by, Indemnitee) and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s reasonable power and
control. 
  
 (c) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For
purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did
not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by Applicable Law. In addition, neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as
to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the
commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under Applicable Law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any
particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the
Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. 
  
 (d)
Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the
commencement of such Claim to the insurers 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 Indemnitee, all
amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in accordance with the terms of such policies, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2(d) shall excuse the Company from its
obligations to pay Expenses or Expense Advances to Indemnitee as provided herein. 
  
 (e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by
Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the
Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ
Indemnitee’s counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that 
  

 4 

 there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the
Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees
fit in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim against Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee, provided, however, that the Company shall not settle any Claim requiring the admission of guilt or
responsibility by Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 3. Additional Indemnification Rights; NonexclusivityScope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association or by statute. In the event of any change after the date of
this Agreement in any Applicable Law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change to the extent such change is not inconsistent with the law of the Cayman Islands. In the event of any change in any Applicable Law, statute or rule which narrows
the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall
have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 8(a) hereof. 
  
 (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and advances provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be
entitled under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. 
  
 4. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Memorandum and Articles of Association or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder. 
  
 5. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
  
 6.
Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under
this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that as long as the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ”Exchange Act”), the Company
may be required to undertake with the Securities 
  

 5 

 and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination
of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
  
 7. Liability Insurance. The Company shall, from time to time, make a good faith determination of whether or not it is practicable to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable
insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. In all policies of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if
Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company reasonably determines that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount
of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company. Among other
considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. 
  
 8. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement: 
  
 (a) Excluded Action or Omissions. To
indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the law of the Cayman
Islands, or Applicable Law; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 8(a) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification and subject to Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be
entitled under Section 2 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have
been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or Applicable Law. 
  
 (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses
to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification
under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of
Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under the law of the Cayman Islands, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense
payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be; 
  

 6 

 (c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with
respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision determines that each and every of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such
proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; 
  
 (d)
Willful or Gross Negligence. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to any Claim for an Indemnifiable Event if a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision determines that Indemnitee acted in a
manner that was willfully or grossly negligent. 
  
 (e) Claims
Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute if the
Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 8(d) regarding the
Company’s obligation to provide indemnification and subject to Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 2 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the
Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has violated said statute. 
  
 9. Construction of Certain Phrases. 
  
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger or other transaction which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to
the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines”

Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to
in this Agreement. 
  

 7 

 (c) For purposes of this Agreement a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if,
on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company
acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the ”beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a
vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority
thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger, consolidation or other transaction of the Company with any other corporation other than a merger, consolidation or other transaction which would result in the Voting Securities of
the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the Voting
Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other transaction, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale

purposes of this Agreement, a “Reviewing Party” shall mean any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Company’s Board of Directors or any other person or body appointed by the Board of Directors who is not
a party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel. 
  
 (f) For purposes of this Agreement, “Voting Securities” shall mean any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of
directors. 
  
 (g) For the purposes of this Agreement,

asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim
or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise
applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place. This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other enterprise
at the Company’s request.

Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
