Form of Indemnification Agreement between Arrow Electronics, Inc., and each of its directors and officers

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is by and between Arrow Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned director or corporate officer of the Company (the “Indemnitee”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix 1.

WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to provide, or continue to provide, services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee may not be willing to continue to serve as a director or corporate officer, as applicable, of the Company without adequate protection;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent, and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Company’s By-Laws so that Indemnitee will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that he or she will not be so indemnified.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and Indemnitee’s agreement to provide, or continue to provide, services to the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as set forth below.

(a)    Generally. If the Indemnitee is or was made or threatened to be made a party to, or is or was otherwise involved in, any Claim by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in such capacity, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall:

(i)Indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from all Expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, including disbursements actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such Claim and any appeal related thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Amounts”);

(ii)Advance all Expenses to the Indemnitee no later than ten (10) business days after the Indemnitee presents a written demand to the Secretary and a written undertaking executed and delivered by the Indemnitee in favor of the Company to repay amounts advanced to the Indemnitee if and to the extent (A) the Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction, as applicable, ultimately determines that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (B) where indemnification is granted, the Expenses so advanced exceed the indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled; and

(iii)Indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee from all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf if the Indemnitee appears as a witness or otherwise incurs legal expenses as a result of a Claim to which the Indemnitee neither is, nor is threatened to be made, a party.

(b)    Limitations. The Indemnitee shall not be entitled to the benefits of indemnification or advancement of Expenses under Section 1(a) of this Agreement if and to the extent that:

(i)    Standard of Conduct. A judgment or other final adjudication establishes that (i) the Indemnitee’s acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and in either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or (ii) the Indemnitee personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled;

(ii)    Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. The Indemnitee initiates any Claim, unless the Board acting through a quorum of Disinterested Directors has authorized or consented to the initiation of such Claim;

(iii)    Duplicative Payments. The Indemnitee otherwise receives payment of the amounts indemnifiable hereunder from any insurance policy, the Charter, the By-Laws, any other agreement of the Company, or otherwise; or

(iv)    Prior Determination of Indemnification Eligibility. A Reviewing Party has previously determined that the Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law or the terms of this Agreement.

(c)    Indemnitee’s Agreement to Refund Advancements of Expenses. If the Reviewing Party or court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnitee is not be permitted to be indemnified under this Agreement or applicable law, the Indemnitee shall, and does hereby agree to, reimburse the Company for any and all such amounts previously advanced to the Indemnitee under Section 1(a)(ii).

(d)    Determination of Entitlement.

(i)To receive indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall first submit a written request therefor and supporting information and documentation to the Secretary (the “Indemnification Request”). The Indemnification Request shall include all information reasonably necessary for a Reviewing Party or court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. Upon receipt by the Secretary of an Indemnification Request, the Secretary shall inform the Board, and the Board shall (A) select and notify the Reviewing Party and (B) coordinate the Reviewing Party’s review of the Indemnification Request. The Reviewing Party shall determine the Indemnitee’s eligibility for indemnification hereunder within sixty (60) days (or, in the event of any conflict with the By-Laws, such other period required in the By-Laws) of the Secretary’s receipt of the Indemnification Request, and promptly communicate such determination to the Indemnitee. To the extent the Reviewing Party determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall pay such indemnification in full to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after such determination.

(ii)If the Reviewing Party (A) has not made its determination within sixty (60) days (or such other period as specified in the fourth sentence of clause (d)(i) above, if applicable) of the Secretary’s receipt of the Indemnification Request or (B) determines that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall have the right until the first (1st) anniversary of the Secretary’s receipt of the Indemnification Request to commence litigation in any court in the State of New York having subject matter jurisdiction, and in which venue is proper, to (x) obtain an initial determination or (y) challenge a determination of the Reviewing Party, as applicable. The Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Otherwise, any determination by the Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Indemnitee.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the Indemnitee commences proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination of entitlement to indemnification, any adverse Reviewing Party determination shall not be binding, and the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advancement of Expenses, until a final, non-appealable judicial determination is made with respect thereto.

2.    Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control, then with respect to all matters arising thereafter concerning the rights of the Indemnitee to indemnity payments and advancements of Expenses under this Agreement, the Company shall act upon the legal advice, in the form of a written opinion, of Independent Counsel selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the event the parties are unable to agree upon Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of any such Independent Counsel.

3.    Partial Indemnity. If a Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction conclusively determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement by the Company for a portion of the Indemnified Amounts but not, however, for the total amount, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee only for such portion to which the Indemnitee is entitled. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without prejudice, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

4.    Burden of Proof and Presumptions. In connection with any determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall have the burden of proof to establish that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim, in any manner, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. In addition, prior to the Indemnitee’s commencement of legal proceedings to secure a judicial determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified hereunder, any adverse determination by the Reviewing Party shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

5.    Nonexclusivity. The right of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the By-Laws, Charter, the New York Business Corporation Law, or otherwise. If any change in the New York Business Corporation Law permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the By-Laws, Charter and/or this Agreement, the parties agree that the Indemnitee shall have any greater benefits so afforded by such change.

6.    Liability Insurance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain directors and officers liability insurance which provides the Indemnitee with coverage for any Expense, liability, or loss asserted by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status.

7.    Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights.

8.    Miscellaneous.

(a)Binding Effect and Duration. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and executors. All obligations of the Company contained herein in favor of the Indemnitee shall continue during the period the Indemnitee maintains a Corporate Status and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Claim (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Claim commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 1(d) of this Agreement) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status.

(b)Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings, and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. If the Company and Indemnitee have previously entered into an indemnification agreement providing for indemnification of Indemnitee by the Company, the parties’ entry into this Agreement shall be deemed to amend and restate such Indemnification Agreement to read in its entirety as, and to be superseded by, this Indemnification Agreement.
