Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive Summary
     The Compensation Committee of Parent’s Board of Directors reviews and approves compensation for all Avago Technologies executives.
     Avago Technologies has in place a compensation strategy for our executives which focuses on both individual and company performance. Compensation of our executives is structured around the achievement of near-term corporate targets (fiscal year metrics) as well as long-term business objectives and strategies. The Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating and administering all compensation programs and practices to ensure that they properly compensate and reward and that they appropriately drive corporate performance while remaining competitive with comparable semiconductor companies competing in the same or similar markets. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation policies, including executive base salaries, bonuses and equity incentive compensation.
     Our named executive officers, or NEOs, for fiscal year 2007 were Hock Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mercedes Johnson, Chief Financial Officer, Bian-Ee Tan, General Manager and President, Asia, Bryan Ingram, General Manager and James Stewart, General Manager (who left the company in December 2007). On November 1, 2007, Mr. Bian-Ee Tan was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Bryan Ingram was promoted to Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Semiconductor Division.
Objectives and Philosophy of Our Executive Compensation Program
     The Compensation Committee has adopted a compensation philosophy which is intended to keep total cash compensation (base salary plus cash incentive reward) of our executives between the fiftieth and sixtieth percentile of compensation at companies within our peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that setting cash compensation at the mid point of the market is a sufficient competitive position for attracting and retaining executives. When reviewing and setting compensation against market practices, the Compensation Committee uses industry based market salary survey data, which we refer to as Market Salary Surveys, from the following data sources:
    Radford Executive Technology Survey (U.S)
 
    Radford Benchmark Technology Survey (U.S)
 
    Radford International Technology Survey
 
    Radford International Technology Survey (Germany)
 
    Radford International Technology Survey (Italy)
 
    Mercer High Tech Salary Survey (Asia)
     The companies the Compensation Committee used as a benchmark for reviewing and setting executive compensation, which we refer to as our Peer Group Companies, and those that participate in the Market Salary Surveys, are:
    Altera Corporation
 
    Atmel Corporation
 
    Cypress Semiconductor Corporation

     Allocation of equity to executives in the form of the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares is not currently based strictly on the practice at Peer Group Companies. At the time of the Acquisition, Avago granted significant equity awards to executives in order to attract and retain them. When allocating equity, the Compensation Committee looks at each executive, his or her level of experience and expertise and overall value to the company. Equity is a long term retention plan for key executives understanding their level of value and contribution to the company. Generally, vesting of options granted under the Executive Plan are both time and performance based (with equal weighting of fifty percent). The vesting of options granted under the Executive Plan generally occurs in equal annual installments over a period of five years. The Compensation Committee approves all grants made to executives.
     Avago Technologies compensation program for executives is designed to achieve the following:
    Attract and retain qualified, experienced and talented executives, understanding competitive pressures from our Peer Group Companies;
 
    Motivate and reward executives whose skills, knowledge and performance are critical to the on-going success of our company;
 
    Encourage executives to focus on the achievement of corporate and financial performance goals and metrics by aligning the incentive reward program to the achievement of both functional/divisional goals and corporate goals; and
 
    Aligning the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. A significant portion of total compensation paid to Avago executives is in the form of equity. As such, this serves both as a long term retention strategy and aims to align the interests of our executives with shareholders by tying a significant portion of each executive’s compensation to returns realizable by our shareholders.
Components of Our Executive Compensation Program
     The components of Avago’s executive compensation program are:
    Annual Base Salary
 
    Annual (fiscal year) Cash Incentive Program
 
    Equity Incentive (opportunities to purchase ordinary shares)
 
    Perquisites
Annual Cash Compensation
      Base Salary
     The Compensation Committee believes that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program designed to attract, engage and retain key executives. Base salaries provide fixed, baseline

compensation and are set at levels which are intended to be within a competitive range with similar positions at our Peer Group Companies. The base salaries of all Avago executives are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee against positions of similar size and scope in our Peer Group Companies. Annual adjustments to an executive’s base salary takes into account:
  (i)   individual performance throughout the prior fiscal year (based on set targets);
 
  (ii)   compa–ratio, which is the actual pay rate of our executives divided by market pay rates from the Market Salary Surveys; and
 
  (iii)   internal equity.
     The process for internal equity involves comparing executives in peer roles to ensure that base salaries are comparable based on function, scope and responsibilities of the role and taking into account the executive’s experience, technical knowledge and expertise.
     In 2007, our chief executive officer, or CEO, proposed annual merit salary increases for each of our NEOs, except for the CEO, for the approval of the Compensation Committee. All increases were implemented February 1, 2007 following full review and approval by the Compensation Committee.

(1)   Mr. Bian-Ee Tan was promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Parent on November 1, 2007.
 
(2)   Converted from Malaysian Ringgits using the January 2008 conversion ratio of 3.3402 Ringgits to the U.S. Dollar.
 
(3)   Mr. Bryan Ingram was promoted to Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Semiconductor Division on November 1, 2007.
     Ms. Johnson was given an above average increase (the company average being 3.5% per employee) based on her years of experience as a Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, and the Compensation Committee and the Board’s view of her technical and strategic value to the company. Ms. Johnson’s level of responsibility had also increased substantially as she assumed direct control of the Global Human Resources Function and other support functions (Legal, Workplace Services/Facilities).
     Similarly, Mr. Stewart received an above company average increase based on his tenure with Avago (and its predecessors) as well as the general management skills he brought to his role of heading up the specialized ASIC business. Mr. Stewart possessed a large amount of both intellectual and institutional information which the CEO

and the Compensation Committee viewed as being important to the company. Mr. Stewart’s salary was also adjusted to bring him closer in line with his peers in the other product development divisions. Mr. Stewart left the Company in December 2007.
     Mr. Ingram and Mr. Bian-Ee Tan received lower increases because their compa-ratios (as defined above) were already competitive and above the market midpoint.
     The Compensation Committee sets our CEO’s salary without input from our CEO. In fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee did not increase our CEO’s salary because the Compensation Committee felt that our CEO’s base salary was already comparable to the market mid point.
     Our CEO may recommend increasing the base salary of an executive at other times throughout the course of the year if a change in the scope of the executive’s role and responsibilities warrants an increase. In limited circumstances, our CEO may propose that an executive’s base salary be adjusted in response to a competitive threat or competitive labor market practice. We will revert to market data using the Market Salary Surveys to help determine the new base salary. The Compensation Committee approves any salary adjustments that are done throughout the fiscal year for executive officers.
      Annual Cash Incentive Program
     Avago has in place a performance based annual cash incentive bonus plan for all of its executive management, other than the Chief Executive Officer, whose bonus, while tied to his performance, is discretionary. The plan is reviewed and approved on a year-to-year basis by the Compensation Committee. Company goals and business metrics are also reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee prior to allocation. The Avago performance based annual cash incentive plan is designed to encourage and motivate executives to achieve both corporate level and functional/divisional level goals, thereby positively contributing to the growth and performance of the company. In fiscal year 2007, the plan structure comprised corporate and divisional goals. The corporate goals for 2007 involved free cash flow and EBITDA, which each carried a weighting of twenty percent. The targets for free cash flow and EBITDA were set at levels which the Compensation Committee thought required substantial effort to obtain. Divisional goals (set subject to business requirements by the Compensation Committee and described in the table below) carried an aggregate sixty percent weighting of the target bonus amount.
     Except for our Chief Executive Officer, each employee of Avago, including our executive officers, participates in the Avago performance based annual cash incentive bonus plan. Rates at which our employees participate in the performance based annual cash incentive bonus plan are expressed as a percent of base salary. Employees at the level of Vice President and below participate at rates set by a formula adopted by the Compensation Committee based on Market Survey data for our peer group, the levels and rates of participation used by Agilent and the Compensation Committee’s experience with similar programs. For executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above, the Compensation Committee sets the rate of participation based on its assessment of the executive’s experience, ability to influence corporate results and the competitive market data from the Market Surveys for our peer group. In particular, the Compensation Committee set the participation rates of Ms. Johnson and Mr. Bian-Ee Tan at 75% of base salary based on each executive’s experience in her or his role with the company, the level of responsibility held by each executive, which the Compensation Committee believes directly correlates to her or his ability to influence corporate results, and the target bonuses utilized by our peer group for chief financial officers and divisional presidents, respectively.
     Our CEO proposes, and the Compensation Committee reviews and approves, attainment against the set goals and metrics. For fiscal year 2007, our corporate goals, EBITDA and free cash flow, each carried a weight of 20% of the total bonus target amount and had a minimum threshold of 90% achievement to trigger 90% of the targeted bonus amount on this portion of the bonus. In fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that we achieved our free cash flow goal at 112.6% of its target resulting in the payment to each executive of 22.5% of the executive’s total target bonus amount. The Compensation Committee determined that we achieved our EBITDA goal at 83.6% of its target, which was less than the 90% threshold necessary for any payment with respect to the EBITDA goal.

     The Compensation Committee awards our CEO a discretionary bonus each year based on its assessment of our CEO’s significant contributions to the company in the prior fiscal year. For fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee considered our CEO’s role in Avago’s achievement of the corporate goals described above as well as his role in Avago’s 2007 restructuring.
     The Compensation Committee supplements the performance based cash incentive plan awards of other named executive officers from time to time based on our CEO’s recommendations and its assessment of individual contributions. For fiscal year 2007, our Compensation Committee determined that the individual contributions of each of Mr. Bian-Ee Tan, Mr. Ingram and Mr. Stewart exceeded expectations and awarded each a discretionary bonus, the amount of which correlated to our Compensation Committee’s assessment of the value of each executive’s contributions less performance based awards otherwise earned by the executive. Mr. Ingram was paid an additional discretionary bonus in lieu of a mortgage subsidy to which he was entitled under an Agilent bonus program.
     With respect to each NEO, divisional and corporate goals were set and achieved, and discretionary bonuses were paid, as follows:

(1)   The amount reported differs from that reported in the Summary Compensation Table below because of currency fluctuations. Mr. Bian-Ee Tan was awarded his bonus amount in U.S. dollars which was converted into Malaysian Ringgits at the time of payment. The Summary Compensation Table uses 3.3420 Malaysian Ringgits per U.S. dollar, which is the accounting rate for January 2008 as reported by Bloomberg L.P., to convert the amount paid in Malaysian Ringgits back into U.S. dollars.

     Using market data from the Market Salary Surveys, the Compensation Committee has determined that our cash bonus plan for executives is competitive in terms of a percentage of base salary.
Equity Incentive Compensation
     The Compensation Committee believes that long term, sustainable growth and performance will be best facilitated through a culture of executive ownership that encourages long term investment and engagement by our executive management. The aim is also to align executive performance and behaviors to create a culture conducive to shareholder investment.
     The Compensation Committee approves options to purchase Parent ordinary shares granted to executive officers. The size of initial (and any subsequent) grants for executives takes into account the executive’s position (level), compensation and the value the executive brings to the company based on their technical experience, expertise and leadership capabilities. The philosophy behind option grants is to provide the executive with a strong incentive to build value in the company over an extended period of time. While subsequent options may be proposed by our CEO and granted by the Compensation Committee, we do not have a set annual option grant program for executives.
     Options to purchase ordinary shares are governed by the Executive Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee. Generally, options granted under the Executive Plan vest in equal annual installments over five years based 50% upon the passage of time and 50% on our financial performance, as measured using operating income, subject in each case to continued employment with Parent or its subsidiaries. The operating income targets have been set to require substantial effort on the part of our executives and the company in order to be attained. The performance vesting aims to ensure that the executive has a vested interest in driving positive and sustainable corporate financial results. Generally, the exercise price of options granted under the Executive Plan is equal to the fair market value of Parent’s ordinary shares on the date of grant as determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.
Termination-Based Compensation
     Separation compensation is determined by company policy and any specific arrangements detailed in the executive’s employment agreement or contract. Severance payment typically comprises cash payment in lieu of salary, bonuses and coverage of health benefits for a limited period of time. In addition, the vesting of options granted under the Executive Plan accelerate with respect to 10% of the shares subject to the options if an executive is terminated in connection with the sale of his or her division. The Compensation Committee must approve any exceptions to severance payments including any additional cash payments and any variance from the Executive Plan regarding the treatment of options. Executives who terminate from the company are required to sign a general release of all claims against Avago to receive any severance benefits.
     Except as described below, each of our executives is eligible for severance under our policies if terminated without cause by us. Under our policies in effect in the United States at the end of fiscal year 2007, an employee would receive a minimum severance payment of two months base salary and two months COBRA plus any outstanding vacation in the absence of a general release of all claims against Avago. An additional severance payment of two weeks of base salary for every completed year of service (minimum of 5 months and maximum of 9 months) would require the employee to sign a release agreement. An employee would also receive any fiscal year cash bonus due if they were employed on the last day of the performance period, this being October 31. Changes were made to the U.S. severance policy effective January 1, 2008.  Basic severance is given to the employee in a lump sum at time of termination and consists of two weeks of base salary (or two weeks of adjusted target annual pay for employees on a sales plan), and the greater of three months of COBRA premiums for medical, dental, vision and EAP or $2,000.  In addition, in exchange for a release which is not thereafter revoked, employee is eligible for an enhanced severance payment equivalent to two weeks base salary (or two weeks of adjusted target annual pay for employees on a sales plan) for each full or partial year of service capped at 40 weeks with a minimum of no less than 8 weeks, and $1,000 lump sum for career transition services.  All payments are subject to taxes and other withholdings.
     Termination benefits for senior executives in Malaysia are decided on a case by case basis.

     For some NEOs, we agreed to separation compensation terms reflective of the senior nature of the position and as a means of attracting the executives to work for Avago. Also in order to attract some NEOs to the company, the Compensation Committee provided a “change in control” clause in the executive’s employment contract or agreement. The following Avago executives have severance benefits in their employment contracts which set out compensation payable in the event of termination by Avago without cause, by the executive for good reason, disability or death and in the event of a termination in connection with a change in control of Parent:
         
Name   Termination Benefit   Termination Benefit
 
  (Without cause or for good reason, death or disability)   (Without cause or for good reason, death or disability within 3 months prior to or 12 months following a change of control)
 
       
Hock E. Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer
  Continued salary for 12 months paid in 12 monthly installments, and an amount equal to the lesser of his prior year’s bonus or prior year’s target bonus paid in 12 monthly installments   Continued salary for 24 months paid in 24 monthly installments, and an amount equal to 200% of the lesser of his prior year’s bonus or prior year’s target bonus paid in 24 monthly installments
 
       
 
      12 months accelerated vesting for options held by him which would otherwise vest based upon the passage of time and his continued employment
 
       
Mercedes Johnson, Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer
  Continued salary for 6 months paid in 6 monthly installments, and an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of her prior year’s bonus or prior year’s target bonus paid in 6 monthly installments   Continued salary for 12 months paid in 12 monthly installments, and an amount equal to the lesser of her prior year’s bonus or prior year’s target bonus paid in 12 monthly installments
 
       
 
  Continuation of benefits (group health, dental and vision) for herself and any covered dependents for up to 6 months   12 months accelerated vesting for options held by her which would otherwise vest based upon the passage of time and her continued employment
 
       
 
      Continuation of benefits (group health, dental and vision) for herself and any covered dependents for up to 12 months
     Such agreements were entered into with Mr. Tan and Ms. Johnson on the basis of their level of seniority and as means to attract them to join the company.
     In October 2007, Avago entered into an employment agreement effective fiscal year 2008 with a change of control clause with Bryan Ingram, Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Semiconductor Division. We did so with the intention of retaining and engaging Mr. Ingram through and beyond the period of a significant restructuring of our company. Mr. Ingram is considered by the Compensation Committee and the Board to be valuable to the company in terms of his market experience and his technical expertise in his business division. Mr. Ingram’s employment agreement was proposed by our CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee. Please see “Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements with Named Executive Officers – Bryan Ingram” below.

Other Compensation
     All of our executive officers are eligible to participate in certain benefits plans and arrangements offered to employees generally. Such benefits include health, dental, life and disability insurance and in the case of U.S. based executives, the 401(k) plan. Avago pays the full-monthly premium for each U.S. based employee, including each executive, for basic medical coverage.  For other medical, dental and vision coverage, Avago pays a portion of the cost and the employees, including executives, pay a portion of the cost.  Avago pays 100% of the premium for all employees, including executives, for Basic Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Business Travel Accident Insurance and the Employee and Family Assistance Plan.  Avago pays 100% of the premiums for all Colorado employees, including executives, for Short Term and Long Term Disability.  Employees in California, including executives, contribute .08% of the first $86,698 in annual earnings to the California Voluntary Disability Plan for Short Term Disability and Avago pays 100% of the premium for Long Term Disability.  Avago provides access to a Group Universal Life and Long-Term Care coverage but the entire cost is paid by the employee, including executives.
     Consistent with Avago’s overall compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain our current benefits plan for executives as well as other employees. The Compensation Committee in its discretion may revise, amend or add to any executive’s benefits and perquisites if it deems necessary.
     U.S. based executives may also participate in the Avago Technologies U.S. Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan which is a non-qualified plan offered to employees on the U.S. payroll who have an annual base salary plus targeted commissions of $175,000 or more.  The plan was established in response to the Internal Revenue Code’s limitation on 401(k) Plan contributions.  Participants defer compensation on a pre-tax basis in addition to the amounts deferred into the Avago 401(k) Plan.  Contributions are held in a Rabbi Trust.  Contributions and interest earned are tax deferred until the year in which they are paid to the participant or beneficiary.   Investment options in the plan do not include Parent ordinary shares or options to purchase ordinary shares and there are no employer matching contributions.
     While we do not currently believe that compensation in the form of perquisites is a necessary form of attraction and retention for all of our executives, where it is deemed necessary and subject to approval by the Compensation Committee, we will pay certain items or expenses for an executive officer if this means attracting or retaining them. In fiscal year 2007, the following executives received the following perquisites:
     
Name   Perquisites
Hock E. Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer
  Relocation expenses and reimbursement for travel to a residence in Pennsylvania
 
   
Bian-Ee Tan, General Manager and President, Asia
  Housing allowance and club memberships
 
   
James Stewart, Former Vice President and General Manager, ASIC Products Division
  Use of company car and car allowance

The expense reported in the table reflects the amount we accrued in fiscal year 2007. In fiscal year 2008, the Compensation Committee adjusted our preliminary estimate of achievement in fiscal year 2007 from 43% to 90% using the adjustment factors provided for under the Executive Plan. For all options granted on or subsequent to our adoption of SFAS 123R, we expensed both the time and performance vesting portions.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transaction, Director Independence
     Since November 1, 2006, there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction where the Company was or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of Parent’s voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than as set forth below and the compensation, employment and other agreements and transactions which are described in “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees.”
Shareholder Agreement
     Investors (the “Equity Investors”) invested approximately $1,300 million in our business as part of the Acquisition. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, Parent entered into a Shareholder Agreement with the Equity Investors, other than members of management, who are party to separate agreements. The Shareholders Agreement was amended in February 2006.
      Board Composition.   The Shareholder Agreement provides that Parent’s Board of Directors shall be comprised as follows:
    three designees of KKR for so long as KKR and its affiliates either continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 24% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares or have not transferred any shares to an unaffiliated third party, provided that KKR has the right to designate two directors for so long as KKR and its affiliates continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 15% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares and one director for so long as KKR and its affiliates continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares;
 
    three designees of Silver Lake for so long as Silver Lake and its affiliates either continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 24% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares or have not transferred any shares to an unaffiliated third party, provided that Silver Lake has the right to designate two directors for so long as Silver Lake and its affiliates continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 15% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares and one director for so long as Silver Lake and its affiliates continue to own, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares;

    one designee of Seletar Investments Pte. Ltd., an affiliate of Temasek Capital (Private) Limited (“Seletar”), so long as it either continues to own, directly or indirectly, 2.5% of Parent’s outstanding shares and has not sold any of its shares, or continues to own, directly or indirectly, 5% of Parent’s outstanding shares;
 
    Parent’s Chief Executive Officer; and
 
    two directors mutually agreeable to the Sponsors (KKR and Silver Lake).
     Each of KKR, Silver Lake and Seletar has the right to remove and replace its director-designees at any time and for any reason and to fill any vacancies otherwise resulting in such director positions. If the number of directors that an Equity Investor is entitled to designate is reduced, any vacant seats on our Board of Directors will be filled by the Board of Directors acting in accordance with its nomination and governance procedures. The composition of our Board of Directors conforms to that of Parent.
      Sponsor Approval.   The Shareholder Agreement provides that the following actions by Parent or any of its subsidiaries require approval of the Sponsors:
    changing the size or composition of Parent’s Board of Directors;
 
    amending, modifying or waiving any provision of Parent’s memorandum of association or articles of association;
 
    undertaking any share split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, exchange or any other combination in any manner of Parent’s equity securities in connection with which any Equity Investor would receive more than a de minimis amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares;
 
    entering into a change of control transaction;
 
    acquiring or disposing of assets or entering into joint ventures with a value in excess of $25 million;
 
    undertaking an initial public offering;
 
    issuing any equity securities or derivative equity securities, other than pursuant to employee benefit and incentive plans approved by the Sponsors;
 
    repurchasing or redeeming any equity securities, other than from employees pursuant to arrangements approved by Parent’s Board of Directors;
 
    declaring or paying any dividend or distributions to equityholders, other than payments by wholly owned subsidiaries;
 
    creating or materially amending any material employee benefit or incentive compensation plan;
 
    incurring indebtedness in excess of $25 million;
 
    filing for voluntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding;
 
    entering into transactions outside of the ordinary course of business or that are reasonably likely to require expenditures or generate proceeds in excess of $10 million;
 
    hiring or firing the Chief Executive Officer or any other member of senior management, or approving the compensation arrangements of any of them;
 
    commencing any litigation, dispute or claim involving amounts in dispute in excess of $5 million, or settling any litigation, dispute or claim for a payment or payments, or discounts on products or services, in excess of $5 million, whether pursuant to a license or otherwise, or which restrict the business of Parent or its subsidiaries in any material manner;
 
    entering into certain transactions with the Sponsors or any of their affiliates;
 
    approving or modifying annual operating budgets or capital expenditure budgets;
 
    making material changes in the nature of the business of Parent or its subsidiaries;

     Mr. Michael Marks, a director designated by KKR, resigned from Parent’s Board of Directors effective July 31, 2007. The Sponsors consented to Parent’s Board of Directors’ appointment of Mr. Macleod and Ms. Lien to the Board of Directors in November 2007. Ms. Lien resigned in January 2008 for personal reasons.
      Co-Investor Protections.   The Shareholder Agreement provides that, other than actions specifically set forth therein, Parent will not take any action in respect of any class of its shares that has a materially disproportionate

Table of Contents

effect on the specified Co-Investors of such class of shares, as compared to the Sponsors, in their capacity as shareholders, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Co-Investors holding a majority of such class of shares then held by the Co-Investors.
      Preemptive Rights.   The Shareholder Agreement provides that, until the earlier of a change of control transaction or initial public offering, the Sponsors and certain Co-Investors will have a pro rata preemptive right to acquire equity securities issued by Parent or any subsidiary, subject to customary exceptions, including issuances:
    pursuant to the exchange, conversion, or exercise terms of other equity or debt securities;
 
    to employees, directors or consultants;
 
    in connection with any acquisition, business combination or joint venture approved by the Sponsors;
 
    in connection with an initial public offering;
 
    in connection with any proportional stock split, stock dividend or stock recapitalization;
 
    which take the form of “equity kickers” in debt financing transactions;
 
    by a wholly owned subsidiary company to Parent or Holdings or another subsidiary of Parent or Holdings; or
 
    for which the Sponsors have waived the preemptive rights.
      Transfer Restrictions.   Neither KKR nor Silver Lake may transfer its shares prior to an initial public offering, or within 2 years after our initial public offering, without the approval of the other Sponsor, subject to certain permitted transfers. No Co-Investor may transfer its shares without the approval of the Sponsors, except (i) to permitted transferees and (ii) if either Sponsor has reduced the number of shares it holds relative to the number of shares initially held by it, each Co-Investor may sell up to the number of shares as would cause such Co-Investor to reduce the number of shares it holds in the same proportion as that of such Sponsor. These transfer restrictions will terminate upon a change of control transaction unless terminated earlier by the Sponsors.
      Right of First Refusal.   Prior to making any permitted transfer of shares (other than certain customary permitted transfers and transfers effected in an initial public offering), any prospective selling Co-Investor is required to provide written notice to Parent and each Sponsor setting forth the terms of such proposed transfer. Parent may purchase any number of shares at the price and on the terms set forth in such notice. If there are any shares remaining after Parent has exercised its right of first refusal, the Sponsors may purchase any remaining shares, with each Sponsor entitled to purchase at least its pro rata portion of such remaining shares, at the price and on the other terms set forth in such notice. If Parent and/or the Sponsors do not offer to purchase 100% of the shares proposed to be transferred by the prospective selling Co-Investor, such Co-Investor may (a) accept the offers of Parent and the Sponsors and sell any remaining shares to a third-party purchaser or (b) if the third-party purchaser is unwilling to purchase less than all of such shares, sell all of such shares to such third-party purchaser, in each case on terms that are no less favorable than the terms offered to Parent and the Sponsors. This right of first refusal will terminate upon the earlier to occur of a change of control transaction or an initial public offering.
      Tag Along Right.   Prior to making any transfer of shares (other than certain customary permitted transfers, transfers in connection with sales pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, transfers pursuant to Rule 144 and certain distributions and charitable contributions), any prospective selling Sponsor must provide written notice to each Co-Investor setting forth the terms of such proposed transfer. Each Co-Investor may elect to sell up to its pro rata portion of the shares (based upon the ownership of such shares by the transferring Sponsor and all persons entitled to participate in such transfer) to be sold in such transfer. This tag along right will terminate upon a change of control transaction unless terminated earlier by the Sponsors.
      Drag Along Right.   If the Sponsors approve a change of control transaction, each Co-Investor will be required to vote in favor of and not oppose such transaction and, if structured as a sale of shares, sell its shares to a prospective buyer on the same terms that are applicable to the Sponsors. This drag along right will terminate upon a change of control transaction.

Advisory Agreement
     In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, our Parent and our indirect subsidiary Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited, a Singapore private limited company, entered into an Advisory Agreement with KKR and Silver Lake, pursuant to which Parent retained KKR and Silver Lake to provide general executive, management and other services as mutually agreed by Parent and KKR and Silver Lake, for which Parent pays each of them advisory fees of $625,000 per quarter, which is subject to a 5% increase each fiscal year during the agreement’s term (beginning in December 2005) and reimburses them for their out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended October 31, 2007, we recorded $5 million of expenses in connection with the Advisory Agreement.
     In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, Parent paid each of KKR and Silver Lake an advisory fee of $18 million for services provided to us in evaluating, negotiating, documenting, financing and closing the Acquisition. In connection with the closing of any subsequent change of control transaction, acquisition, disposition or divestiture, spin-off, split-off or financing completed during the term of the Advisory Agreement (or after if contemplated during the term) in each case with an aggregate value in excess of $25 million, we will pay each of KKR and Silver Lake a fee of 0.5% based on the aggregate value of such transaction. In connection with the closing of the sale of our storage business and the printer ASICs business, we paid each of KKR and Silver Lake $3.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the sale of our image sensor business, we paid less than $1 million to the Sponsors.
     The Advisory Agreement has a 12-year term that is automatically extended on an annual basis. We may terminate the Advisory Agreement in connection with a change of control transaction or an initial public offering. In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated, we will be required to pay all unpaid fees through the date of termination plus the net present value of unpaid quarterly fees for the remainder of the term.
Indemnification; Costs and Fees
     Parent provides customary indemnification to the Equity Investors for liabilities arising from their ownership of shares of Parent and from the Acquisition. Parent will pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Equity Investors from and after the closing of the Acquisition in connection with the Equity Investors’ enforcement of their rights under the Shareholder Agreement, registration rights agreement and Articles of Association.
     Parent has entered into indemnity agreements with all directors and executive officers of the Company. The indemnity agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of the Company, subject to and to the fullest extent permitted under the Singapore Company Act, as amended, and Parent’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Other Relationships
     In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a management consulting agreement for post-acquisition support activities with Capstone Consulting (“Capstone”), a consulting company affiliated with KKR. Under this agreement, we paid $1 million to Capstone during the year ended October 31, 2006. An affiliate of Capstone has been granted options to purchase 800,000 ordinary shares of Parent with an exercise price of $5 per share. One half of these options vests over four years, and the other half vests upon the achievement of certain company financial performance metrics defined in the Share Option Agreement, dated February 3, 2006. These options are subject to variable accounting and we recorded a charge of $1 million and $2 million for the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the issuance of these options.
     Investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake are investors in Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore limited company (“Flextronics”), and Mr. Davidson, a director, also serves as a director of Flextronics. Agilent sold its Camera Module Business to Flextronics in February 2005. In the ordinary course of business, we continue to sell to Flextronics, which in the year ended October 31, 2007 accounted for $144 million of net revenue from continuing operations and the trade accounts receivable due from Flextronics as of October 31, 2007 was $23 million. Flextronics continues to pay the deferred purchase price in connection with its acquisition of the Camera Module Business at the rate of $1 million per quarter.

     Mr. Joyce, a director, also serves as a director of Hewlett-Packard Company effective July 2007. In the ordinary course of business, we continue to sell to Hewlett-Packard Company, which in the year ended October 31, 2007 accounted for $20 million of net revenue from continuing operations and trade accounts receivable due from Hewlett-Packard Company as of October 31, 2007 was $7 million.

     All executive officers and certain key employees have executed a Management Shareholders Agreement with Parent and Bali Investments S.àr.l. Please see “Management — Equity Plans — Management Shareholders Agreement” in our Registration Statement.
Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions
     As provided by Parent’s written Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must review all related party transactions required to be disclosed in the Company’s financial statements, and approve any such related party transaction, unless the transaction is approved by another independent committee of the Board of Directors. Parent’s written Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that directors, officers and employees make appropriate disclosure of potential conflicts of interest situations to the Audit Committee, in the case of directors and officers, and the supervisor who will then seek authorization from the compliance officer, in the case of employees.
Director Independence
     Among the current members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Macleod, Mr. Diller and Mr. B.S. Tan are “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered transactions and relationships between each director or his immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were material and, therefore, inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.

PART II
Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert
     The Board has determined that Mr. Macleod qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of regulations adopted by the Commission by virtue of his relevant experience listed in his biographical information provided herein. Mr. Macleod is “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Item 16B. Code of Ethics
     The Parent’s Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct on May 30, 2006. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is applicable to all members of the Board of Directors, executive officers and employees, including the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Company’s Investor Relations website (www.avagotech.com/investor_comms) under “Code of Ethics.” The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct addresses, among other things, issues relating to conflicts of interests, including internal reporting of violations and disclosures, and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The purpose of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is to deter wrongdoing and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct and to ensure to the greatest possible extent that the Company’s business is conducted in a legal and ethical manner. The Company intends to promptly disclose (1) the nature of any amendment to the Company’s code of ethics that applies to executive officers and (2) the nature of any waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the Company’s code of ethics that is granted to one of these specified officers, the name of such person who is granted the waiver and the date of the waiver on the Company’s website in the future.

(3)   Other fees: Other fees consist of fees related to the license for specialized accounting research software.
     In considering the nature of the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Company management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulation concerning auditor independence promulgated by the Commission to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
     The services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2006 and 2007 were pre-approved in accordance with the requirements of the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy described below.
     Except as stated above, there were no other fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for 2006 and 2007. The Audit Committee considers the provision of these services to be compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent auditors. None of the fees paid to the independent auditors under the categories Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees described above were approved by the Audit Committee after services were rendered pursuant to the de minimus exception established by the Commission.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies
     Parent’s Audit Committee is responsible for selecting the independent registered public accounting firm to be employed by us to audit our financial statements, subject to approval by our shareholders for appointment. The Audit Committee also assumes responsibility for the retention, compensation, oversight and termination of any independent auditor employed by us. We have adopted a policy (the “Policy”), which was approved in advance by the Audit Committee, for the pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP). The Policy defines those audit-related services eligible to be approved by the Audit Committee.
     All engagements with the external auditors, regardless of amount, must be authorized in advance by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy and its pre-approval authorization or otherwise.
     The independent auditors submit a proposal for audit-related services to the Audit Committee on a regular basis in order to obtain prior authorization for the amount and scope of the services. The independent auditors must state in the proposal that none of the proposed services affect their independence. The proposal must be endorsed by the office of our CFO with an explanation of why the service is needed, the reason for sourcing it to the audit firm and validation of the amount of fees requested.
     We do not intend to retain our independent auditors for permissible non-audit services other than by exception and within a limited amount of fees, and the Policy provides that such services must be explicitly authorized by the Audit Committee.
     The Vice President and Corporate Controller is responsible for monitoring that actual fees comply with the pre-approval amount and scope authorized by the Audit Committee. During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, all services provided to us by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Committee shall have the power, authority and the discretion to administer, construe and interpret the Plan and Grant Agreements, to make rules for carrying out the Plan and to make changes in such rules. Any such interpretations, rules, and administration shall be made and done in good faith and consistent with the basic purposes of the Plan and be subject to all applicable laws.
     (b) The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under the Plan subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee shall prescribe except that only the Committee may designate and make Grants to Non-Employee Directors and Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code.
     (c) The Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers or other persons.

4. Eligibility
     (a) The Committee may from time to time make Grants under the Plan to such Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants, and in such form and having such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may determine. Grants may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. The terms, conditions and limitations of each Grant under the Plan shall be set forth in a Grant Agreement, in a form approved by the Committee, consistent, however, with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, such Grant Agreement shall contain provisions dealing with the treatment of Grants in the event of the termination, death or disability of the Participant, and may also include provisions concerning the treatment of Grants in the event of a change of control of the Company.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, prior to the Committee making a Grant under the Plan to an Employee, Non-Employee Director or Consultant, such Employee, Non-Employee Director or Consultant shall have executed a Shareholder’s Agreement in a form acceptable to the Company.
5. Share Options
     From time to time, the Committee may grant options to purchase Shares which are not “incentive stock options,” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. At the time of a Grant of a Share Option, the Committee shall determine, and shall have specified in the Grant Agreement or other Plan rules, the option exercise period, the option exercise price, and such other conditions or restrictions on the grant or exercise of the Share Option as the Committee deems appropriate. In addition to other restrictions contained in the Plan and Grant Agreement, Share Options granted under this Section 5 may not be exercised more than 10 years (five years in the case of Grants to non-Employees) after the date of Grant. Payment of the option exercise price shall be made in cash or, with the consent of the Committee, in Shares (including Shares acquired by contemporaneous exercise of other Share Options), or a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Grant Agreement and any applicable guidelines of the Committee in effect at the time.
6. Share Purchase Rights
     Share Purchase Rights may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with Share Options granted under the Plan. After the Committee determines that it will offer Share Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions to which the offer is subject, which may include the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must accept such offer; provided, however, that the purchase price of such Shares shall not be less than the purchase price required under applicable law. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Grant Agreement in the form determined by the Committee.

7. Limitations and Conditions
     (a) The aggregate number of Shares available for Grants under this Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan for Senior Management Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Senior Management Plan”) shall be 30,000,000 Shares. The issuance of a Share under the Senior Management Plan shall reduce the number of Shares available for Grants under the Plan, and vice versa. Unless restricted by applicable law, Shares related to Grants that are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire unexercised, shall immediately become available for Grants.
     (b) The term of a Grant shall not exceed ten years (five years in the case of non-Employee Participants). No Grants shall be made under the Plan beyond ten years after the effective date of the Plan, but the terms of Grants made on or before the expiration thereof may extend beyond such expiration. At the time a Grant is made or amended or the terms or conditions of a Grant are changed, the Committee may provide for limitations or conditions on such Grant.
     (c) Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time or for any reason.
     (d) Except as otherwise prescribed by the Committee, the amounts of the Grants for any employee of a Subsidiary, along with interest, dividends, and other expenses accrued on deferred Grants shall be charged to the Participant’s employer during the period for which the Grant is made. If the Participant is employed by more than one Subsidiary or by a combination of the Company and a Subsidiary during the period for which the Grant is made, the Participant’s Grant and related expenses will be allocated between the companies employing the Participant in a manner prescribed by the Committee.
     (e) Other than as specifically provided by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the terms of any applicable trust, no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit shall, prior to receipt thereof by the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.
     (f) A Participant shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable or otherwise acquired in connection with any Grant unless and until certificates representing any such Shares have been issued by the Company to such Participants; provided however that no delay in the issuance of certificates due to be issued hereunder representing any such Shares shall operate to impair or prejudice any Participant’s rights to participate in a corporate transaction providing for the disposition of such Shares.

5


 

     (g) No election as to benefits or exercise of Share Options, Share Purchase Rights or other rights may be made during a Participant’s lifetime by anyone other than the Participant except by a legal representative appointed for or by the Participant.
     (h) Absent express provisions to the contrary, no Grant under this Plan shall be deemed “compensation” for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. This Plan is not a “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
     (i) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no benefit or promise under the Plan shall be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Plan.
8. Transfers and Leaves of Absence
     For purposes of the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise:  (a) a transfer of a Participant’s employment without an intervening period of separation among the Company and any Subsidiary shall not be deemed a termination of employment, and (b) a Participant who is granted in writing a leave of absence shall be deemed to have remained in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary during such leave of absence.
9. Adjustments
     In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares (including an exchange for cash) by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, stock dividend, stock combination or reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, change of control, or similar event, the Committee shall adjust appropriately the number and kind of Shares subject to the Plan and available for, covered by or issued pursuant to Grants and Share prices related to outstanding Grants, and make such other revisions to outstanding Grants as it deems are equitably required.
10. Merger, Consolidation, Exchange, Acquisition, Distribution, Liquidation or Dissolution

Unless restricted by applicable law, Shares related to Grants that are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire unexercised, shall immediately become available for Grants.
     (b) The term of a Grant shall not exceed 10 years (5 years in the case of Grants to non-Employees, including, without limitation, Consultants and Non-Employee Directors). No Grants shall be made under the Plan beyond ten years after the effective date of the Plan, but the terms of Grants made on or before the expiration thereof may extend beyond such expiration. At the time a Grant is made or amended or the terms or conditions of a Grant are changed, the Committee may provide for limitations or conditions on such Grant.
     (c) Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time or for any reason.

No such benefit shall, prior to receipt thereof by the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.
     (f) A Participant shall not be, and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares purchasable or otherwise acquired in connection with any Grant unless and until certificates representing any such Shares have been issued by the Company to such Participants; provided however that no delay in the issuance of certificates due to be issued hereunder representing any such Shares shall operate to impair or prejudice any Participant’s rights to participate in a corporate transaction providing for the disposition of such Shares. Once certificates representing any such Shares have been issued by the Company to such Participants, such Participants shall have all of the rights and privileges of shareholders of the Company.
     (g) No election as to benefits or exercise of Share Options or other rights may be made during a Participant’s lifetime by anyone other than the Participant except by a legal representative appointed for or by the Participant.
     (h) Absent express provisions to the contrary, no Grant under this Plan shall be deemed “compensation” for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. This Plan is not a “Pension Plan” or “Welfare Plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
     (i) Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no benefit or promise under the Plan shall be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Plan.

COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE
5.1 Confidentiality Agreement. Executive hereby acknowledges and understands that Executive remains bound by the Confidentiality Agreement, and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or of Executive’s employment relationship with the Company as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.
5.2 Non-Compete. During the Term, Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, individually or by or through any Covered Entity, participate in, assist, aid or advise in any way, any business or enterprise that competes with the Business in the Territory. During the Term Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, individually or by or through any Covered Entity, invest in (whether through debt or equity securities), contribute any capital or make any advances to, take an ownership interest or profit-sharing percentage in, seek to purchase or acquire, or receive income, compensation or consulting fees from, any entity or person involved in the Business in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.2 prohibits Executive or any Affiliate of Executive from owning less than two percent (2%) of any class of voting securities publicly held and quoted on a recognized securities exchange or inter-deal quotation system, of any issuer, and no such issuer shall be considered a Covered Entity solely by virtue of such ownership or the incidents thereof; provided , however , that Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the ownership of securities permitted herein is limited to a passive investment and that Executive is hereby prohibited from actively participating in the business of or otherwise maintaining a relationship with such issuer that

6


 

would contravene the restricted activities contemplated by this Section 5.2, other than to participate in the general rights and benefits as a shareholder thereof.
5.3 Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly and shall not permit any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Executive to, either directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, or take any other action that is intended to solicit, the business of any customers of the Company or any of its Affiliates, (b) solicit, take away, or attempt to solicit or take away (either on such Executive’s behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) any person (i) who is then an employee of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or (ii) who has terminated his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company within the six (6) months preceding such solicitation or other action, or (c) entice or solicit or attempt to induce, solicit or influence (either on such Executive’s behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) any employee of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to terminate or otherwise leave their employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
5.4 Enforcement; Remedies. Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Company has a valid and legitimate business interest in protecting the Business in the Territory from any activity prohibited by Article V hereof. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s expertise in the Business is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of the covenants in Article V hereof by Executive will cause serious and irreparable harm to the Company. Executive therefore acknowledges that a breach of the covenants in Article V hereof by Executive cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent. By reason thereof, Executive acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement without any requirement to prove actual damages or post a bond. Executive acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a particular legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive.
5.5 Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant. It is the parties’ intent that each of the covenants under this Article V be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition of the covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is also the parties’ intent that if it is determined any of the covenants are unenforceable because of overbreadth, then the covenants shall be modified so as to make them reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
      This Agreement is made and entered into as of this 31st day of October, 2007, by and between Avago Technologies Limited, a public company limited by shares organized under the laws of the Republic of Singapore (the “Company”), and                      (“Director”).
Recitals
      Whereas, Director performs a valuable service to the Company in his or her capacity as a director;
      Whereas, the members of the Company have adopted a Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Articles”) providing for the indemnification of the Company’s directors, auditors, secretary and other officers, as authorized by the Companies Act (Chapter 50 of Singapore), as amended from time to time (the “Act”);
      Whereas, the Articles and the Act permit contracts between the Company and its directors, auditors, secretary and other officers with respect to indemnification of such persons; and

      2. Indemnity of Director; Insurance. Subject to, and to the maximum extent permitted by the Articles, the Act or other applicable law, the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director from and against all matters of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising by reason of or in connection with Director’s provision of services under clause 1 above.

      3. Additional Indemnity. In addition to and not in limitation of the indemnification otherwise provided for herein, and subject only to the exclusions set forth in clause 4 hereof, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director:
           (a) against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Director becomes legally

1


 

obligated to pay because of any claim or claims made against or by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company) to which Director is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Director is, was or at any time becomes a director, auditor, secretary, other officer or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise; and
           (b) otherwise to the fullest extent as the Company may provide to Director under Article 151 of the Articles.
      4. Limitations on Indemnity . The Company will not provide indemnity pursuant to clauses 3 and 5 hereof:
           (a) on account of any determination or judgment against Director solely for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Director of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any United States federal, state or local statutory law;
           (b) on account of Director’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;
           (c) in respect of any liability that cannot be indemnified by reason of section 172 of the Act;
           (d) on account of Director’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Director was not legally entitled;
           (e) for which payment is actually made to Director under a valid and collectible insurance policy (other than a policy maintained by Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C. or Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. or one of its affiliated management companies or investment funds) or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause, article or agreement (other than any clause, article or agreement set forth in the limited partnership agreement of Silver Lake Partners II Cayman, L.P. or in the organization documents of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. or one of its affiliated management companies or investment funds), except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such insurance, clause, article or agreement;
           (f) if indemnification is not lawful under the Act or otherwise; or
           (g) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Director, or any proceeding by Director against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the Act, or (iv) the proceeding is initiated pursuant to clause 8 hereof.
      5. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Director is a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or other

2


 

agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Director shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Director was serving in the capacity referred to herein.
      6. Partial Indemnification. Subject to the exclusions in clause 4 hereof, Director shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Director becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in clause 3 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Director for the portion thereof to which Director is entitled.
      7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days after Director’s receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to which Director may make a claim in respect thereof against the Company under this Agreement, Director will notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but any omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of any liability it may have to Director under this Agreement except to the extent, and only to the extent, it can be shown that Director’s failure to timely notify directly caused damage to Director or the Company in such proceeding. Further, no such failure to notify shall relieve the Company of any liability it may have to Director otherwise than under this Agreement.
     With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding for which Director provides notice to the Company of the commencement thereof:
           (a) the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
           (b) except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Director. After notice from the Company to Director of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Director under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Director in connection with the defense thereof, except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Director shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Director unless (i) the Company authorizes Director’s employment of separate counsel, (ii) Director reasonably concludes, and so notifies the Company, that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Director in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Director’s separate counsel shall be at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Director shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above;
           (c) the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Director under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall be permitted to settle any action in its discretion, provided, however, that any such settlement of an action with respect to which Director is to be indemnified hereunder shall include a full, unconditional release of Director, and provided further that no settlement may impose any penalty or limitation on Director without Director’s written consent, which Director may give or withhold in Director’s sole discretion;

3


 

           (d) the Company shall advance all expenses Director incurs in connection with such proceeding promptly following Director’s delivery of a written (i) request therefor and (ii) undertaking to repay said amounts if it is determined ultimately that Director is not entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles, the Act or otherwise; and
           (e) nothing in this clause 7 shall entitle Director to any indemnification, reimbursement or payment other than in accordance with section 172 of the Act and applicable law.
      8. Enforcement. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Director shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Director in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within sixty (60) days of request therefor. Director, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his or her claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim for indemnification is made under clauses 3 or 5 hereof that Director is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in clause 4 hereof. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or its members) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of Director is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or its members) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Director is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.
      9. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Director, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
      10. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on Director by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Director may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, agreement, vote of members or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.
      11. Survival of Rights.
           (a) The rights conferred on Director by this Agreement shall continue after Director has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Director’s heirs, executors and administrators.
           (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
      12. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then

4


 

the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Director to the fullest extent provided by the Articles, the Act or any other applicable law.
      13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore.
      14. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.
      15. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
      16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.
      17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such communication was directed or (ii) upon the third business day after the date on which such communication was mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid:

           (b) on account of Officer’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;
           (c) in respect of any liability that cannot be indemnified by reason of section 172 of the Act;
           (d) on account of Officer’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Officer’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Officer was not legally entitled;
           (e) for which payment is actually made to Officer under a valid and collectible insurance policy or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause, article or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such insurance, clause, article or agreement;
           (f) if indemnification is not lawful under the Act or otherwise; or
           (g) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Officer, or any proceeding by Officer against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other officers, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the Act, or (iv) the proceeding is initiated pursuant to clause 8 hereof.
      5. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Officer is a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Officer shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Officer was serving in the capacity referred to herein.

      6. Partial Indemnification. Subject to the exclusions in clause 4 hereof, Officer shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Officer becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in clause 3 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Officer for the portion thereof to which Officer is entitled.
      7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days after Officer’s receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to which Officer may make a claim in respect thereof against the Company under this Agreement, Officer will notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but any omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of any liability it may have to Officer under this Agreement except to the extent, and only to the extent, it can be shown that Officer’s failure to timely notify directly caused damage to Officer or the Company in such proceeding. Further, no such failure to notify shall relieve the Company of any liability it may have to Officer otherwise than under this Agreement.
     With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding for which Officer provides notice to the Company of the commencement thereof:
           (a) the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
           (b) except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Officer. After notice from the Company to Officer of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Officer under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Officer in connection with the defense thereof, except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Officer shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Officer unless (i) the Company authorizes Officer’s employment of separate counsel, (ii) Officer reasonably concludes, and so notifies the Company, that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Officer in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Officer’s separate counsel shall be at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Officer shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above;
           (c) the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Officer under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall be permitted to settle any action in its discretion, provided, however, that any such settlement of an action with respect to which Officer is to be indemnified hereunder shall include a full, unconditional release of Officer, and provided further that no settlement may impose any penalty or limitation on Officer without Officer’s written consent, which Officer may give or withhold in Officer’s sole discretion;
           (d) the Company shall advance all expenses Officer incurs in connection with such proceeding promptly following Officer’s delivery of a written (i) request therefor and (ii) undertaking to repay said amounts if it is determined ultimately that Officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of this Agreement, the Articles, the Act or otherwise; and

3


 

           (e) nothing in this clause 7 shall entitle Officer to any indemnification, reimbursement or payment other than in accordance with section 172 of the Act and applicable law.
      8. Enforcement. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within sixty (60) days of request therefor. Officer, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his or her claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim for indemnification is made under clauses 3 or 5 hereof that Officer is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in clause 4 hereof. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or its members) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of Officer is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or its members) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Officer is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.
      9. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Officer, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
      10. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on Officer by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Officer may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, agreement, vote of members or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.
      11. Survival of Rights.
           (a) The rights conferred on Officer by this Agreement shall continue after Officer has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of Officer’s heirs, executors and administrators.
           (b) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
      12. Separability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Officer to the fullest extent provided by the Articles, the Act or any other applicable law.
      13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore.

      14. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.
      15. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
      16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.
      17. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such communication was directed or (ii) upon the third business day after the date on which such communication was mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid:
