directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the
California General Corporation Law (the &#147;California Law&#148;). Under the California
Law, a director&#146;s liability to a company or its shareholders may not be limited
with respect to the following items: (i)&nbsp;acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii)&nbsp;acts or
omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the
company or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the
part of the director, (iii)&nbsp;any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit, (iv)&nbsp;acts or omissions that show a reckless
disregard for the director&#146;s duty to the company or its shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in
the ordinary course of performing a director&#146;s duties, of a risk of a serious
injury to the company or its shareholders, (v)

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that
amounts to an abdication of the director&#146;s duty to the company or its
shareholders, (vi)&nbsp;contracts or transactions between the company and a director
within the scope of Section&nbsp;310 of the California Law, (vii)&nbsp;improper
distributions, loans and guarantees under Section&nbsp;316 of the California Law,
(viii)&nbsp;acts or omissions occurring prior to the date such provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director became effective or (ix)&nbsp;acts
or omissions as an officer, notwithstanding that the officer is also a director
or that his or her actions, if negligent or improper, have been ratified by the
directors. The limitation of liability does not affect the availability of
injunctions and other equitable remedies available to Broadcom&#146;s shareholders
for any violation by a director of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty to Broadcom or
its shareholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Broadcom&#146;s Articles of Incorporation also include an authorization for
Broadcom to indemnify its &#147;agents&#148; (as defined in Section&nbsp;317 of the California
Law) through bylaw provisions, by agreement or otherwise, to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Pursuant to this provision, Broadcom&#146;s Bylaws provide for
indemnification of Broadcom&#146;s directors. In addition, Broadcom may, at its
discretion, provide indemnification to persons whom Broadcom is not obligated
to indemnify, including its officers, employees and other agents. The Bylaws
also allow Broadcom to enter into indemnity agreements with individual
directors, officers, employees and other agents. Such indemnity agreements have
been entered into with all directors and executive officers and provide the
maximum indemnification permitted by law. These agreements, together with
Broadcom&#146;s Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, may require Broadcom, among
other things, to indemnify these directors or executive officers (other than
for liability resulting from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to
advance expenses to them as they are incurred, provided that they undertake to
repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that they are not entitled to indemnification, and to
obtain directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance if available on reasonable terms.
Section&nbsp;317 of the California Law and Broadcom&#146;s Bylaws makes provision for the
indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons, under certain circumstances, for
liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;).

period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (ii)&nbsp;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
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii)&nbsp;to include any material information with

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement; <I>provided, however, </I>that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
each such post-effective amendment 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; and (3)&nbsp;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 offerings of those securities made pursuant to the
Alphamosaic Limited 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan, as assumed by Broadcom.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this 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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6
above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

rights and provisions applicable to Broadcom's Class A Common Stock, and
any other amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such
description.
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of
this Registration Statement and 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 into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Unless expressly incorporated
into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K under the
Exchange Act shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Broadcom's Articles of Incorporation limit the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the
California General Corporation Law (the "California Law"). Under the California
Law, a director's liability to a company or its shareholders may not be limited
with respect to the following items: (i) acts or omissions that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or
omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the
company or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the
part of the director, (iii) any transaction from which a director derived an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless
disregard for the director's duty to the company or its shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in
the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of a serious
injury to the company or its shareholders, (v)
II-1
Table of Contents
acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that
amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the company or its
shareholders, (vi) contracts or transactions between the company and a director
within the scope of Section 310 of the California Law, (vii) improper
distributions, loans and guarantees under Section 316 of the California Law,
(viii) acts or omissions occurring prior to the date such provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director became effective or (ix) acts
or omissions as an officer, notwithstanding that the officer is also a director
or that his or her actions, if negligent or improper, have been ratified by the
directors. The limitation of liability does not affect the availability of
injunctions and other equitable remedies available to Broadcom's shareholders
for any violation by a director of the director's fiduciary duty to Broadcom or
its shareholders.
Broadcom's Articles of Incorporation also include an authorization for
Broadcom to indemnify its "agents" (as defined in Section 317 of the California
Law) through bylaw provisions, by agreement or otherwise, to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Pursuant to this provision, Broadcom's Bylaws provide for
indemnification of Broadcom's directors. In addition, Broadcom may, at its
discretion, provide indemnification to persons whom Broadcom is not obligated
to indemnify, including its officers, employees and other agents. The Bylaws
also allow Broadcom to enter into indemnity agreements with individual
directors, officers, employees and other agents. Such indemnity agreements have
been entered into with all directors and executive officers and provide the
maximum indemnification permitted by law. These agreements, together with
Broadcom's Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, may require Broadcom, among
other things, to indemnify these directors or executive officers (other than
for liability resulting from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to
advance expenses to them as they are incurred, provided that they undertake to
repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that they are not entitled to indemnification, and to
obtain directors' and officers' insurance if available on reasonable terms.
Section 317 of the California Law and Broadcom's Bylaws makes provision for the
indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons, under certain circumstances, for
liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

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, (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
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration

Table of Contents
Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement;
provided, however,
that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
each such post-effective amendment 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; and (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 offerings of those securities made pursuant to the
Alphamosaic Limited 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan, as assumed by Broadcom.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6
above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
