<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Broadcom&#146;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
&#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)&nbsp;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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&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;).

represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement and
(iii)&nbsp;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; <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)&nbsp;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 Broadcom Corporation 1998

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

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.

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) 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
II- 1
Table of Contents
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 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 Broadcom Corporation 1998
Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, the Broadcom Corporation 1998 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, as amended and restated, and the Broadcom Corporation 2007 International Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, as amended.
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.
