monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law (the

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

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 the company&#146;s directors and officers. In addition,
Broadcom may, at its discretion, provide indemnification to persons whom it is not obligated to
indemnify, including its 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;).

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.

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a),

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

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 personal liability of a director became
effective or (ix) acts or omissions as an officer, notwithstanding that the
II-1
Table of Contents
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 the company's directors and officers. In addition,
Broadcom may, at its discretion, provide indemnification to persons whom it is not obligated to
indemnify, including its 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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:
(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in 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 the registration
statement; and
(B) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is
on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the 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.
(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.
(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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d0 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
foregoing provisions, 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.
