<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. The Registrant&#146;s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the directors&#146; fiduciary duty, and in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for
actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment
of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director&#146;s
responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always"><A HREF="#toc">Table of Contents</A></H5><P>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provide that the Registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant
believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and
gross negligence by indemnified parties, and permits the Registrant to advance
litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other
actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances
if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws permit, and its Board of Directors
has authorized, the purchase of liability insurance for the Registrant&#146;s
officers and directors.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with
its directors and officers. These agreements require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by
reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than
liabilities arising from actions not taken in good faith or in a manner the
director or officer believed to be opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified (subject to certain
conditions), and to obtain liability insurance for any director with terms of
insurance no less favorable than those provided to any other director of the
Registrant, and for any officer with terms of insurance no less favorable than
those provided to any other officer of the Registrant. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable. The Registrant believes that its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.

and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee

Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (see Item&nbsp;6) or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The following documents filed with the Commission by the Registrant, Jabil
Circuit, Inc., a Delaware corporation, are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August
31, 2001 (including information specifically incorporated by reference into the

February 28, 2002.
(d)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
May 31, 2002.
(e)  The description of the Common Stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated April 28, 1998, filed pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, including any future

including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such

(g)  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. The Registrant's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. This provision in the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, and in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for
actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment
of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful
under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director's
responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or
state or federal environmental laws.
II-2
Table of Contents
In addition, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant will
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant
believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and
gross negligence by indemnified parties, and permits the Registrant to advance
litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other
actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party to repay such advances
if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to
indemnification. The Registrant's Bylaws permit, and its Board of Directors
has authorized, the purchase of liability insurance for the Registrant's
officers and directors.
The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with
its directors and officers. These agreements require the Registrant, among
other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by
reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than
liabilities arising from actions not taken in good faith or in a manner the
director or officer believed to be opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified (subject to certain
conditions), and to obtain liability insurance for any director with terms of
insurance no less favorable than those provided to any other director of the
Registrant, and for any officer with terms of insurance no less favorable than
those provided to any other officer of the Registrant. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is
therefore unenforceable. The Registrant believes that its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
(a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
II-3
Table of Contents
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement.
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (see Item 6) or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
