believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by
officers and directors, and requires the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of
stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the officer or director
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled
to indemnification. The Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be
deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under any statute,
provision of any Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders,
disinterested directors or otherwise.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware
law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors&#146; fiduciary
duty of care to the Company and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, 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 Company, or 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company currently has a policy providing directors and officers liability insurance with
insured directors and officers of the Company in certain circumstances. The policy also insures the
Company against losses as to which its directors and officers are entitled to indemnification.

or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by

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

Incorporation of Documents by Reference
QUALCOMM Incorporated (the "Company") hereby incorporates by reference in this registration
statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") the following documents:
(a) The Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), containing audited
financial statements for the Company's latest fiscal year ended September 26, 2010 as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2010.
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end
of the fiscal year covered by the registrant document referred to in (a) above.
(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the Company's registration
statements filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose
of updating such description.
In addition, all documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement that indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters all
such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and made part hereof from their respective dates of filing (such documents,
and the documents listed above, being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Document(s)");
provided, however, that the documents listed above or subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act in each year during which the offering made
by this Registration Statement is in effect prior to the filing with the Commission of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such year shall cease to be Incorporated Documents or

superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement contained 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

Table of Contents
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and executive officers and provide
that the Company may indemnify its other officers to the full extent permitted by law. The Company
believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence by
officers and directors, and requires the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of
stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the officer or director
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled
to indemnification. The Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be
deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under any statute,
provision of any Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders,
disinterested directors or otherwise.
In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware
law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary
duty of care to the Company and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, 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 Company, or 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.
The Company currently has a policy providing directors and officers liability insurance with
insured directors and officers of the Company in certain circumstances. The policy also insures the
Company against losses as to which its directors and officers are entitled to indemnification.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.
Undertakings
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;
Table of Contents
(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 paragraphs
(1)(i) and (l)(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 by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference in 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.
(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.
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(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
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 Securities and
Exchange Commission 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.
