BROADCOM CORPORATION
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

RECITALS

          A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of selected Employees and consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

          B. Participant is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program.

          C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix A.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

          1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Corporation hereby awards to the Participant, as of the Award Date, Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock on the vesting date specified for that unit in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the awarded Restricted Stock Units, the applicable vesting schedule for those shares, the date or dates on which those vested shares shall become issuable to Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the award (the “Award”) shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY

Participant:		_____________________________
Award Date:		______________________, 20____
Vesting Commencement Date:		______________________, 20___ (the “Vesting Commencement Date”)
Number of Shares Subject to Award:		______________ shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”)
Vesting Schedule:		The Shares shall vest in a series of sixteen (16) successive equal quarterly installments upon the Participant’s completion of each successive three (3)-month period of continuous Service (each date on which such three (3)-month period ends, a “Vesting Date”) over the forty-eight (48)-month

		period measured from the Vesting Commencement Date (the “Normal Vesting Schedule”). However, the Shares may also vest in whole or in part on an accelerated basis in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 6 of this Agreement. The duration of the Normal Vesting Schedule may be extended in connection with certain leaves of absence or changes in Employee status, as set forth and subject to the limitations contained in Section 4 of this Agreement.
Issuance Schedule:		Subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, each quarterly installment of Shares to which the Participant becomes entitled in accordance with the Normal Vesting Schedule shall be issued, subject to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes, on the date that installment vests in accordance with such schedule or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Vesting Date. Any Restricted Stock Units that vest on an accelerated basis pursuant to Section 3 or 6 of this Agreement shall be issued in accordance with the applicable provisions of such section. The Corporation shall in all instances collect the applicable Withholding Taxes with respect to the issued Shares pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.

          2. Limited Transferability. Prior to actual receipt of the Shares that become issuable hereunder, the Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares or pledge or otherwise hedge the sale of those Shares, including (without limitation) any short sale or any acquisition or disposition of any put or call option or other instrument tied to the value of those Shares. Any attempt by the Participant to do so will result in an immediate forfeiture of all of the Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant hereunder. Any Shares that vest hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of the Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of the Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. The Participant may also direct the Corporation to immediately re-issue the stock certificates for any Shares that in fact vest and become issuable to Participant under the Award during his or her lifetime to one or more designated Family Members or a trust established for the Participant and/or his or her Family Members. The Participant may make such a beneficiary designation or certificate directive at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator or its designee.

          3. Cessation of Service.

               (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 or Section 6 below, should the Participant cease Service for any reason prior to a Vesting Date, then the Award shall be immediately cancelled with respect to those unvested Shares. Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.

               (b) The Normal Vesting Schedule requires continued active Service by the Participant through each Vesting Date as a condition to the vesting of that quarterly

installment and the rights and benefits provided under this Agreement with respect to that installment. Accordingly, if the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason prior to an applicable quarterly Vesting Date, this Award shall be immediately cancelled, and no further Restricted Stock Units shall thereafter vest. Service for only a portion of a quarterly vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Participant to any proportionate vesting for that quarter or avoid or mitigate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units that will occur upon the termination of his or her Service prior to vesting in all the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award. Upon the cancellation of one or more Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled units.

               (c) The Participant is also a participant in the Corporation’s special officer severance program pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement between the Corporation and the Participant (the “Severance Agreement”). The Severance Agreement sets forth certain terms and conditions under which the Participant’s equity or equity-based awards from the Corporation, including this Award, may vest in whole or in part on an accelerated basis in connection with the Participant’s cessation of Employee status under various specified circumstances. The Severance Agreement also sets forth the date or dates on which the shares of Common Stock subject to the awards that vest on such an accelerated basis, including the Shares subject to this Award, are to be issued, subject to certain required delays as set forth in the Severance Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Severance Agreement, as they apply to this Award, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall have the same force and effect as if expressly set forth in this Agreement.

               (d) In the event that Participant’s Employee status terminates prior to vesting in all the Shares due to his or her death or Disability, then the applicable death and Disability provisions of the Severance Agreement shall govern the Participant’s rights and entitlements.

          4. Leaves of Absence/Change of Employee Status. The Participant shall not be deemed to have ceased Service while on a leave of absence authorized by the Corporation, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Appendix to this Agreement with respect to the date on which Participant is deemed to have a Separation from Service. However, the Participant may not be deemed to remain in active Service during the period of such leave, and the Participant may accordingly fail to vest in one or more quarterly installments under the Normal Vesting Schedule by reason of such absence from active Service. In such event, the Normal Vesting Schedule for the Restricted Stock Units may be extended (and the corresponding settlement date(s) delayed) by one or more quarterly periods following the Participant’s return to active Service upon the expiration of such leave, so that the Participant may have the opportunity to vest in those missed installments over his or her subsequent period of continuous active Service. In addition, a change in Participant’s Employee status from full-time or part-time may also result in a similar extension of the Normal Vesting Schedule, to the extent such change in status results in a slower rate of vesting accrual. The actual effect that a leave of absence or change in Employee status may have upon the Normal Vesting Schedule and the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award will be determined by the Corporation’s policies governing those subjects that are in effect at the time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

herein, the Normal Vesting Schedule shall only be extended in accordance with this Section 4 (and the Restricted Stock Unit settlement date correspondingly delayed) to the extent that any delayed vesting and settlement will not require Participant to include in income under Code Section 409A amounts payable in respect of the Restricted Stock Units. In the event that any extension of the Normal Vesting Schedule (and corresponding delay in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units) that would apply under this Section 4 is limited in accordance with the preceding sentence, any Restricted Stock Units that would have vested and been settled during any disallowed portion of an extended Normal Vesting Schedule but for such limitation shall, as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, either (i) vest and be settled prior to the expiration of the Normal Vesting Schedule (as may be extended in accordance with this Section 4), or (ii) terminate and be forfeited by Participant.

          5. Shareholder Rights.

               (a) The Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award do not impose any fiduciary obligations upon the Corporation and create only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation to issue the Shares that vest in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

               (b) Participant shall not have any shareholder rights, including voting, dividend or liquidation rights, with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares upon their actual issuance following the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

               (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7, no adjustments will made to this Award for dividends or other shareholder distributions for which the record date is prior to the date Participant becomes the record holder of the Shares subject to this Award.

          6. Change of Control.

               (a) Any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award at the time of a Change in Control may be assumed by the successor entity or otherwise continued in full force and effect or may be replaced with a cash retention program of the successor entity that preserves the Fair Market Value (at the time of the Change in Control) of the unvested shares of Common Stock subject to the Award and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting and issuance schedules applicable to the Award. In the event of such assumption or continuation of this Award or such replacement of the Award with a cash retention program, no accelerated vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the underlying Shares shall occur at the time of the Change in Control.

               (b) In the event this Award is assumed or otherwise continued in effect, the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of the Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the Shares subject to those units immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of that Change in Control had those Shares actually been issued

and outstanding at that time. To the extent the actual holders of the outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation (or parent entity) may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award at that time, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equal to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in Control transaction, provided the substituted common stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities exchange or market.

               (c) Any Restricted Stock Units that are assumed or otherwise continued in effect in connection with a Change in Control or replaced with a cash retention program under Section 6(a) shall be subject to accelerated vesting in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Severance Agreement incorporated herein.

               (d) If Participant’s Employee status continues until the Change in Control and the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award at the time of the Change in Control are not assumed or otherwise continued in effect or replaced with a cash retention program in accordance with Section 6(a), then those units will vest immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to those vested units shall be converted into the right to receive the same consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the other shareholders of the Corporation in consummation of that Change in Control, and such consideration per Share shall be distributed to Participant upon such Change in Control or at such later time or times as the consideration is paid to the other holders of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control, but only to the extent that any such delayed payments will not require Participant to include amounts payable in respect of the Restricted Stock Units in income under Code Section 409A.

               (e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

          7. Adjustment in Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award. The adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate to reflect such change, and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of Section 6 shall be controlling.

          8. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

               (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6(d), on any applicable date that Shares are to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the vested shares of Common Stock to be issued on that date.

               (b) The applicable Withholding Taxes with respect to the issued Shares or any other consideration distributed to Participant shall be collected from Participant as and when such taxes become due. Participant may, with respect to the issued Shares, satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes through one or more of the following methods:

          (i) The delivery of a separate check payable to the Corporation;

          (ii) if and to the extent expressly authorized by the Plan Administrator at the time, through a share withholding procedure, pursuant to which the Corporation will automatically withhold, immediately upon the issuance of the Shares, a portion of those Shares with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”); provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Corporation’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income. Participant will be notified (either in writing or through electronic transmission) of the time or times when the Share Withholding Method will actually be available with respect to one or more vested Shares that become issuable under this Agreement (such notification will also set forth the procedures authorized and established by the Plan Administrator for such purpose);

          (iii) irrevocable instructions given by Participant to a broker to remit to the Corporation cash, in an amount equal to such Withholding Taxes, from a previously established account Participant maintains with such broker; or

          (iv) to the extent the Share Withholding Method is not otherwise available at the time one or more vested Shares become issuable, Participant may also satisfy the applicable Withholding Taxes with respect to those Shares through the use of proceeds from a next day sale of the issued Shares, provided and only if (i) such a sale is permissible under the Corporation’s insider trading policies governing sales of Corporation shares and (ii) such transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

               (c) If any withholding event is other than the issuance of the Shares, or if the Corporation for any reason is unable to collect the applicable Withholding Taxes with

respect to the issuance of the Shares through any of the foregoing collection procedures specified in this Section 8, then the Corporation shall be entitled to require Participant to make a cash payment and/or to deduct from other compensation payable to him or her the amount of such applicable Withholding Taxes.

               (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the employee portion of the federal, state and local employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation in connection with the vesting of the Shares or any other amounts hereunder (the “Employment Taxes”) shall in all events be collected from the Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which the Shares or other amounts vest hereunder. Accordingly, to the extent the issuance date for one or more vested Shares or the distribution date for such other amounts is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those Shares or other amounts vest hereunder, the Participant shall, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which the Shares or other amounts vest, deliver to the Corporation a check payable to its order in the dollar amount equal to the Employment Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those Shares or other amounts. The provisions of this Section 8(d) shall be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Code Section 3121(v).

               (e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3, Section 6 or Section 8(b), the settlement of all Restricted Stock Units that vest under the Award shall be made solely in shares of Common Stock. In no event, however, shall any fractional shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued at the time the Award vests shall, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole share to avoid the issuance of a fractional share.

          9. Code Section 409A Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, should this Agreement be deemed a deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Code:

          - In no event shall the Shares that become issuable under this Agreement in connection with the Participant’s cessation of Employee status be actually issued, nor shall Participant have any right to the issuance of those Shares, prior to the date on which the Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to that cessation of Employee status

          - If the issuance date for the Shares is tied to the Participant’s Separation from Service in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or the Severance Agreement, then in no event will the Shares be issued (or such amounts be distributed) prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of such Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Corporation, and such

delayed commencement is otherwise required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, the Shares shall be issued in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month after the date of Participant’s Separation from Service, or if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Corporation receives proof of Participant’s death.

          In addition, it is the intent of the Corporation and the Participant that the provisions of this Agreement comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

          10. Deferred Release Date. Should the Restricted Stock Unit settlement date occur during any period Participant is under investigation by the Corporation for any act or transaction that might constitute grounds for termination for Misconduct, then those issued Shares and/or the net proceeds from any sale or sales of those Shares during such period (the gross sale proceeds less withholding taxes due the Corporation and broker commissions) will be held by the Corporation in escrow until such time as the investigation is satisfactorily completed. If it is determined that Participant has not engaged in any action or transaction that might constitute grounds for a termination for Misconduct. then the escrowed Shares and/or funds will be released to Participant, subject to the Corporation’s collection of all applicable Withholding Taxes not otherwise previously collected, as soon as administratively practicable following the completion of the investigation, but in no event later than the close of the calendar year in which such determination is made. If it is determined that the Participant has engaged in any act or transaction that constitutes grounds for termination for Misconduct, then Participant shall cease to have any further right, title or interest in the escrowed Shares and/or funds, and those Shares and funds shall be returned to the Corporation.

          11. Securities Law Compliance. The Corporation shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to assure that all Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are registered under the federal securities laws. However, no Shares will be issued pursuant to this Award if such issuance would otherwise constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations or the requirements of any Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance of any Shares hereunder shall defer the Corporation’s obligation with respect to the issuance of such Shares until such approval shall have been obtained.

          12. Transfer Restriction. None of the issued Shares may be sold or transferred in contravention of (i) any market blackout periods the Corporation may impose from time to time or (ii) the Corporation’s insider trading policies to the extent applicable to you from time to time.

          13. Parachute Payment . In the event the accelerated vesting and issuance of the Shares subject to this Award would otherwise constitute a parachute payment under Code Section 280G, then the applicable parachute payment provisions of the Severance Agreement shall govern the Participant’s rights and entitlements.

          14. Notice. Any notice to be given or delivered to the Corporation relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice to be given or delivered to Participant relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to Participant at the address indicated below his or her signature line on the last page of this Agreement or such other address of which Participant may later advise the Corporation in writing. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

          15. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and upon Participant and the legal representatives, heirs and the legatees of his or her estate.

          16. Construction. This Agreement and the Award evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to interpret and construe any term or provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and such interpretation shall be binding on all persons having an interest in the Award.

          17. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

          18. At Will Employment. Nothing in this Agreement or the Award shall provide Participant with any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way Participant’s right or the right of the Corporation to terminate Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause, or for no reason.

          19. Mandatory Arbitration. ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN PARTICIPANT AND THE CORPORATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR OTHERWISE CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS EVIDENCED HEREBY OR THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE SETTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION TO BE HELD IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH PARTICIPANT IS (OR HAS MOST RECENTLY BEEN) EMPLOYED BY THE CORPORATION (OR ANY PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY) AT THE TIME OF SUCH ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY (i) THE NATIONAL RULES FOR THE RESOLUTION OF EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES THEN IN EFFECT OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND (ii) THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE SAME, BUT NO GREATER,

REMEDIAL AUTHORITY AS WOULD A COURT HEARING THE SAME DISPUTE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION AND SHALL BE IN LIEU OF THE RIGHTS THOSE PARTIES MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH DECISION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CORRECTION, CONFIRMATION OR VACATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS AND STANDARDS OF APPLICABLE LAW GOVERNING THE JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ARBITRATION AWARDS. THE PREVAILING PARTY IN SUCH ARBITRATION, AS DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR, AND IN ANY ENFORCEMENT OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, SHALL BE ENTITLED, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE OTHER PARTY FOR ALL OF THE PREVAILING PARTY’S COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY’S FEES. HOWEVER, THE ARBITRATOR’S COMPENSATION AND OTHER FEES AND COSTS UNIQUE TO ARBITRATION SHALL IN ALL EVENTS BE PAID BY THE CORPORATION. JUDGMENT SHALL BE ENTERED ON THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EITHER PARTY MAY IN AN APPROPRIATE MATTER APPLY TO A COURT PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1281.8, OR ANY COMPARABLE STATUTORY PROVISION OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE, FOR PROVISIONAL RELIEF, INCLUDING A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER OR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROCEEDINGS AND RESULTS, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION, SHALL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.

          20. Electronic Delivery. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any document related to the Award, the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan by electronic means, and Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery.

          21. Remaining Terms. The remaining terms and conditions of this Award are governed by the Plan, and this Award is also subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations that may from time to time be adopted under the Plan. The official prospectus summarizing the principal features of the Plan and the restricted stock units issuable under the Plan is available for review on the Corporation’s website at http://finbu.broadcom.com/stock/default.aspx. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall be controlling. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Severance Agreement, the provisions of the Severance Agreement shall be controlling. Provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the Board or the Plan Administrator do not (and shall not be deemed to) confer in Participant any rights, except to the extent such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise in the sole discretion of the Board or the Plan Administrator expressly conferred by appropriate action after the date hereof.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day and year first indicated above.
