5. Option Grants
     From time to time, the Committee will 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 Share Options, 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 Options as the Committee deems appropriate. In addition to other restrictions contained in the Plan and Grant Agreement, Share Options granted under this Section 5 (i) may not be exercised more than 10 years after the Grant Date (5 years in the case of Grants to non-Employees), (ii) unless granted in substitution or exchange for other options in connection with a corporate transaction, may not have an option exercise price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, (iii) except with regard to Share Options granted to an officer (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act), Non-Employee Director or Consultant, must not become vested and exercisable at a rate of less than twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the Grant Date, subject to reasonable conditions, such as continued employment or service with the Company or its Subsidiaries and (iv) must remain exercisable for thirty (30) days following the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company for other than Cause and six (6) months following the Participant’s termination of employment or service because of death or disability or such longer period of time provided in the Participant’s Grant Agreement. 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; provided, however, that the option exercise price may also be paid, upon the termination by the Company of the Participant’s employment or service without Cause, the Participant’s resignation for Good Reason, or termination by reason of the Participant’s death or disability, pursuant to a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the

6


 

Plan, provided that such cashless exercise would not, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, (i) cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to breach any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money, (ii) result in a violation or in adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder, (iii) be otherwise prohibited by the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder or (iv) result in negative accounting treatment under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
     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 Executive Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Executive Plan”) shall be 30,000,000 Shares. The issuance of a Share under the Executive 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 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.
     (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

7


 

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. 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.

The Participant, the Participant’s Estate and/or the Participant’s Trust, as the case may be, shall notify the Company of its intention to sell Shares and/or terminate Share Options pursuant to the preceding sentence by sending to the Company a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 8(c) hereof.

For purposes of this Plan, a “Qualified Public Offering” means the first Public Offering which results in gross proceeds in excess of $250,000,000.
     (a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to Transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to Transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).
     (b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be Transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the Purchase Price determined in accordance with Section 9(c) hereof.
     (c) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 9 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
     (d) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.
     (e) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be Transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 9, then the Holder may sell or otherwise Transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other Transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other Transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If

13


 

the Shares described in the Notice are not Transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise Transferred.
     (f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9 notwithstanding, the Transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Participant’ s lifetime or on the Participant’s death by will or intestacy to the Participant’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the Participant’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 9. “Immediate Family’ as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section 9, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.
10. Share Transfer Restrictions
     Except for Transfers contemplated under Sections 8 and 11 hereof, at no time during the period commencing on the Grant Date and continuing through the later of (i) the fifth anniversary thereof, unless written consent providing otherwise has been obtained from the Company and (ii) the date that is the earlier of (A) the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of any class of its equity securities or (B) the date on which any class of securities of the Company become registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, shall the Participant Transfer any Shares, and any attempt to do so shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10 shall prevent Transfers: (i) to the Company following the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date; (ii) to the Participant’s Estate or the Estate of a Person who has become a holder of Shares in accordance with the terms of this Plan; or (iii) to the Participant’s Trust that is made after the Grant Date in compliance with U.S. federal securities laws, provided that in such Transfers are made expressly subject to this Plan and that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.
11.  “Bring-Along” Right
     In the event that at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of a Public Offering, LU, KKR or SLP (or an Affiliate thereof to which Shares have been Transferred) proposes to transfer for value any of their holdings of Shares to any person (a “Proposed Purchaser”), in any transaction other than a Public Offering (a “Bring-Along Sale”), LU, KKR or SLP may provide the Participant or the Participant’s Estate or Participant’s Trust, as the case may be, written notice (a “Bring-Along Notice”) of such Bring-Along Sale and the material terms thereof not less than 10 business days prior to the proposed date of the Bring-Along Sale (the “Bring-Along Sale Date”), and the Participant hereby agrees to sell to such Proposed Purchaser, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to Shares that LU, KKR or SLP, as the case may be (or the Affiliate thereof) proposes to sell in the Bring-Along Sale, the number of Shares equal to the product of (a) the sum of the number of Shares (i) then held by the Participant or the Participant’s Estate or the Participant’s Trust, including all Shares subject to Options that are exercisable and (ii) any Share Options that will become exercisable prior to or in connection with

14


 

the Bring-Along Sale, multiplied by (b) the ratio of (i) the number of Shares that LU, KKR or SLP (or an Affiliate to which Shares have been Transferred) proposes to sell in the proposed Bring-Along Sale, divided by (ii) the number of Shares then held by LU, KKR or SLP, as the case may be (or an Affiliate to which Shares have been Transferred) at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions applicable to the Transfer of Shares held by LU, KKR or SLP, as the case may be (or an Affiliate to which Shares have been Transferred). The Participant, Participant’s Trust or Participant’s Estate, as the case may be, shall exercise Share Options to the extent necessary to obtain a number of Shares sufficient to fulfill its obligation to sell Shares in a Bring-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 11. The provisions of this Section 11 shall apply regardless of the form of consideration in the Bring-Along Sale.
     12. Lock-Up Period
          The Participant, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the “Managing Underwriter”) in connection with any registration of the public offering of any securities of the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares not covered by such registration within 8 days prior to, or within 180 days (or such other period as may be requested in writing by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Standoff Period”) after, the effective date of such registration statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of a Market Standoff Period.

     14. Transfers and Leaves of Absence

     15. 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 which results in the distribution of Shares or other equity securities without the receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall adjust appropriately the number and kind of Shares subject to the Plan and available for or covered by Grants and Share prices related to outstanding Grants, and make such other revisions to outstanding Grants as it deems are equitably required.
