with and into other persons, make acquisitions and sell assets; (iii) customary events of default, upon the occurrence of which, after any applicable grace period, the lenders will have the ability to accelerate all outstanding loans thereunder and terminate the commitments; and (iv) customary representations and warranties. In addition, subject to certain conditions (including the receipt of sufficient commitments for such increase from the lenders), Intermediate Holdco has the ability, at any time after the initial borrowing date under the Credit Agreement, to increase the aggregate term loans and/or revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount equal to (i) a dollar amount equal to the greater of (x) U.S.$6,000,000,000 and (y) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters ended prior to such date for which financial statements have been provided under the Credit Agreement at such date, plus (ii) an unlimited amount so long as on a pro forma basis the first lien leverage ratio (as set forth in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed to 3.00 to 1.00, plus (iii) an amount equal to all voluntary prepayments of term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement (other than any such prepayments with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness) and revolving loans under the Credit Agreement (other than any such prepayments with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness) to the extent accompanied by a corresponding, permanent reduction in the commitments therefor. The Borrowers have agreed to pay the lenders a commitment fee at a rate per annum that varies based on the applicable public ratings assigned to the senior secured, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money of Finance Holdco by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and any successor to each such rating agency business.

The Broadcom Plan Amendments amend the Broadcom Equity Plans to provide that the securities issuable in connection with awards thereunder cover Holdco Ordinary Shares (rather than common stock of Broadcom Corporation). In addition, the Broadcom Plan Amendments amend the Broadcom 2012 Plan to adjust the share reserve thereunder to reflect the consummation of the Transactions, and to remove the provisions relating to automatic grants of awards thereunder to non-employee directors.

Upon the consummation of the Transactions, Holdco assumed the Broadcom Equity Plans (as amended by the Broadcom Plan Amendments) and assumed each outstanding and unvested Broadcom stock option and restricted stock unit (with appropriate adjustments to the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price of, such awards) and to provide that the securities issuable in connection with the awards thereunder are Holdco Ordinary Shares. The assumed awards will continue to have substantially the same terms and conditions that applied to the underlying Broadcom awards prior to the consummation of the Transactions.

Amended Avago Equity Award Plans

On February 1, 2016, Holdco’s board of directors approved amendments (the “Avago Amendments”) to the LSI Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “LSI Equity Plan”), the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Avago Executive Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Senior Management Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Avago Management Plan” and together with the LSI Equity Plan, and the Avago Executive Plan, the “Avago Equity Plans”), which became effective immediately upon consummation of the Transactions. The Avago Amendments amend the Avago Equity Plans to provide that the securities issuable in connection with awards thereunder cover Holdco Ordinary Shares (rather than Avago Ordinary Shares).

Upon the consummation of the Transactions, Holdco assumed the Avago Equity Plans (as amended by the Avago Amendments) and assumed each outstanding Avago share option and restricted share unit. The assumed awards will continue to have substantially the same terms and conditions that applied to the underlying Avago awards prior to the consummation of the Transactions.

Amended and Restated Employee Share Purchase Plan

On February 1, 2016, Holdco assumed the Amended and Restated Avago Technologies Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), effective immediately upon the consummation of the Transactions, and provided that the securities issuable in connection with purchase rights thereunder cover Holdco Ordinary Shares (rather than Avago Ordinary Shares). On February 1, 2016, Holdco’s board of directors also approved the Second Amended and Restated Broadcom Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Second Amended and Restated ESPP”), which will become effective on March 15, 2016. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated ESPP has two components in order to give Holdco increased flexibility in the granting of purchase rights under the Second Amended and Restated ESPP to U.S. and to non-U.S. employees. Specifically, the Second Amended and Restated ESPP authorizes the grant of purchase rights that are intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal tax treatment (the “Section 423 Component”) under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To facilitate participation for employees located outside of the United States in light of non-U.S. law and other considerations, the Second Amended and Restated ESPP also provides for the grant of purchase rights that are not intended to be tax-qualified under Code Section 423 (the “Non-Section 423 Component”). The plan administrator will designate offerings made under the Non-Section 423 Component and the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component generally will be operated and administered in the same manner. A description of the material terms of the ESPP (prior to the foregoing assumption and amendment and restatement) is included in Avago’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on August 3, 2009, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

The preceding description of the Second Amended and Restated ESPP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amended and Restated ESPP, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Avago Severance Benefits Agreements

On February 1, 2016, Holdco’s board of directors assumed the following agreements: (i) the Severance Benefit Agreement by and between Avago and Hock E. Tan, dated January 23, 2014; (ii) the Severance Benefit Agreement by and between Avago and Anthony E. Maslowski, dated January 24, 2014; (iii) the Severance Benefit Agreement by and between Avago and Charlie Kawwas, dated June 3, 2015; (iv) the Severance Benefit Agreement by and between Avago and Bryan T.

McCall, dated January 24, 2014; and (vi) the Offer of Continuing Employment by and between Avago and Mr. Ingram, dated October 16, 2015 (collectively, the “Executive Severance Agreements”).

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the Executive Severance Agreements will be deemed amended to the extent necessary so that all references to compensatory equity or equity-linked awards covering Avago ordinary shares shall mean and refer to compensatory equity or equity-linked awards covering shares of Holdco. The Executive Severance Agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
