Exhibit 10.33
BROADCOM CORPORATION
2007 INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as amended and restated March 12, 2008)
     I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
          This International Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of Broadcom Corporation by providing eligible employees of its Foreign Subsidiaries with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation through participation in a payroll-deduction based employee stock purchase plan.
          Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
          This Plan shall become effective with the first offering period beginning on or after the Effective Date for which there is a current, available and effective registration statement under the 1933 Act for the Common Stock issuable under the Plan. Until such time as there exists such effective registration statement, no offering period shall commence under the Plan.
     II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
          The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary to comply with the requirements of applicable law. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.
     III. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN
          A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market. As of March 12, 2008, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance in the aggregate over the term of the Plan and the U.S. Plan is 33,414,349 shares. Each share of Common Stock issued under this Plan or the U.S. Plan shall automatically reduce on a one-for-one basis the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan and the U.S. Plan.
          B. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance in the aggregate under this Plan and the U.S. Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January each calendar year during the term of the Plan by an amount equal to one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed 10,000,000 shares, in the aggregate.

 


 

          C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares 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 Company Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable in the aggregate under the Plan and the U.S. Plan, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve under the Plan and the U.S. Plan is to increase in the aggregate each calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section III.B, (iii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iv) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date and (v) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding purchase right. The adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits under the Plan and the outstanding purchase rights thereunder, and such adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.
     IV. OFFERING PERIODS
          A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan through a series of successive offering periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.
          B. The first offering period shall commence on the first business day of the first month following the date on which there is a current, available and effective registration statement in effect under the 1933 Act for the Common Stock issuable under the Plan, but in no event before February 1, 2007, and shall end on the last U.S. business day in April 2009. In no event, however, shall any offering period commence under this Plan until the Corporation has, with respect to the implementation of this Plan, complied with all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is at the time listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or regulation.
          C. Each subsequent offering period shall commence on the start date determined in advance by the Plan Administrator.
          D. Each offering period shall be of such duration as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of that offering, subject, however, to the following provisions:
          (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section IV.B above with respect to the first offering period or subparagraph (ii) below, no offering period shall exceed twenty-four (24) months in duration.
          (ii) Should the last scheduled Purchase Date in the offering period occur at a time when the Corporation cannot effect an issuance of

2


 

Common Stock under the Plan in compliance with applicable securities laws, including (without limitation) the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, then the duration of that offering period shall automatically be extended until the earlier of (a) the first date on which such issuance of Common Stock can be effected in compliance with applicable securities laws, with such date to serve as the final Purchase Date for that offering period, or (b) the expiration of the twenty-seven (27)-month period measured from the start date of that offering period.
          E. Each offering period shall be comprised of a series of one or more successive Purchase Intervals. Purchase Intervals shall run from the first U.S. business day in May each year to the last U.S. business day in October of the same year and from the first U.S. business day in November each year to the last U.S. business day in April of the following year. However, the first Purchase Interval in effect under the Plan shall commence with the start date of the first offering period implemented under the Plan in accordance with Section IV.B and shall terminate on the last U.S. business day in April 2007.
          F. Should the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on any Purchase Date within an offering period be less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the start date of that offering period, then that offering period shall automatically terminate immediately after the purchase of shares of Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and a new offering period shall commence on the next business day following such Purchase Date. The new offering period shall have a duration of twenty (24) months (subject to the extension provisions of Section IV.D (ii) above), unless a shorter duration is established by the Plan Administrator within five (5) business days following the start date of that offering period.
     V. ELIGIBILITY
          A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of any offering period under the Plan may enter that offering period on such start date or on any subsequent Quarterly Entry Date within that offering period, provided he or she remains an Eligible Employee.
          B. Each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee after the start date of an offering period may enter that offering period on any subsequent Quarterly Entry Date within that offering period on which he or she is an Eligible Employee.
          C. Each Foreign Subsidiary listed in attached Schedule A shall be a participating Foreign Subsidiary in this Plan, effective as of the start date of the first offering period implemented under the Plan in compliance with Section IV.B. Each corporation that becomes a Foreign Subsidiary at any time thereafter shall automatically become a participating corporation in the Plan effective as of the first Quarterly Entry Date coincident with or next following the date on which it becomes such a subsidiary.
          D. The date an individual enters an offering period shall be designated his or her Entry Date for purposes of that offering period.

3


 

     E. To participate in the Plan for a particular offering period, the Eligible Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan Administrator (including a stock purchase agreement and a payroll deduction authorization) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date. However, any Eligible Employee of a Foreign Subsidiary who is a participant in the U.S. Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically become a Participant in the initial offering period under the Plan and such individual’s payroll deductions under the Plan shall continue at the same rate authorized under the U.S. Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date unless the Participant shall change such rate in accordance with Section VI.B.
     VI. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS
          A. Except to the extent otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, payment for shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan shall be effected by means of the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction.
          B. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring shares of Common Stock during an offering period may be any multiple of one percent (1%) of the Cash Earnings paid to the Participant during each Purchase Interval within that offering period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The deduction rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the offering period, except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines:
          (i) The Participant may, at any time during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The reduced rate shall become effective on the first pay day of the month following the month in which such form is filed, and there shall be no limit on the number of such reductions a Participant may effect during a Purchase Interval.
          (ii) The Participant may not increase the rate of payroll deduction to be in effect for an offering period at any time after the start of that offering period. The Participant can only increase his or her rate of payroll deduction for a particular offering period by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of that offering period. The increased rate (which may not exceed the fifteen percent (15%) maximum) shall become effective with the start date of that offering period.
          C. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant shall be collected in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary and converted into U.S. Dollars on each Purchase Date on the basis of the exchange rate in effect for such date. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion to determine the applicable exchange rate to be in effect for each Purchase Date by any reasonable method (including, without limitation, the exchange rate actually used by the Corporation for its intra-company financial transactions for the month of such conversion). Any changes or fluctuations in the exchange rate at which the payroll deductions collected on the Participant’s behalf are converted into U.S. Dollars on each Purchase Date shall be borne solely by the Participant.

4


 

          D. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day following the Participant’s Entry Date into the offering period and shall (unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period. The amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant’s book account under the Plan, initially in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary until converted into U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, all purchases of Common Stock under the Plan are to be made with the U.S. Dollars into which the payroll deductions have been converted on each applicable Purchase Date. No interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time outstanding in such account. Except to the extent otherwise required by local law, the amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the Corporation or the Foreign Subsidiary and used for general corporate purposes.
          E. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant’s purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
          F. The Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a different offering period.
     VII. PURCHASE RIGHTS
          A. Grant of Purchase Right. A Participant shall be granted a separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or she participates. The purchase right shall be granted on the Participant’s Entry Date into the offering period and shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, in a series of successive installments over the remainder of such offering period, upon the terms set forth below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator may deem advisable.
          Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate.
          B. Exercise of the Purchase Right. Each purchase right shall be automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date within the offering period, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant on each such Purchase Date. The purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant’s payroll deductions (as converted into U.S. Dollars) for the Purchase Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date.

5


 

          C. Purchase Price. The U.S. Dollar purchase price per share at which Common Stock will be purchased on the Participant’s behalf on each Purchase Date within the offering period shall be equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Participant’s Entry Date into that offering period or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date.
          D. Number of Purchasable Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the offering period shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date (as converted into U.S. Dollars) by the U.S. Dollar purchase price in effect for the Participant for that Purchase Date. However, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 9,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation’s capitalization. In addition, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable in the aggregate by all Participants in this Plan and the U.S. Plan on any one Purchase Date in any offering period shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation’s capitalization. However, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the start of any offering period under the Plan, to increase or decrease the limitations to be in effect for the number of shares purchasable per Participant and in total by all Participants on each Purchase Date during that offering period.
          E. Excess Payroll Deductions. To the extent payroll deductions cannot be applied to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock on any Purchase Date, those payroll deductions shall be promptly refunded, unless the Plan Administrator determines that such deductions are to be applied to the purchase of fractional shares of Common Stock on each Purchase Date within the offering period. Any payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable per Participant or in total by all Participants on such Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded. All refunds shall be in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary.
          F. Withdrawal from Plan/Termination of Purchase Right: The following provisions shall govern the withdrawal or the termination of outstanding purchase rights:
          (i) A Participant may, at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date in the offering period, withdraw from the Plan by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to the offering period in which such withdrawal occurs. Any payroll deductions collected during the Purchase Interval in which such withdrawal occurs shall, at the Participant’s election, be promptly refunded in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary or held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such election is made at the time such withdrawal, then the payroll deductions collected with respect to the terminated right shall be refunded as soon as possible.

6


 

          (ii) To resume participation in the Plan, such individual must re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before any subsequently scheduled Quarterly Entry Date.
          (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant’s payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval in which the purchase right so terminates shall be promptly refunded in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary. However, should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that Purchase Interval with the withdrawn funds to be paid in the same currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date. If the Participant fails to make an election, as a default the Corporation will use such funds for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant’s behalf during such leave. Upon the Participant’s return to active service (i) within ninety (90) days following the commencement of such leave or (ii) prior to the expiration of any longer period for which such Participant’s right to reemployment with the Corporation is guaranteed by either statute or contract, his or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return. An individual who returns to active employment following a leave of absence that exceeds in duration the applicable (i) or (ii) time period shall be treated as a new Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date into the offering period.
          G. Change in Control. Each outstanding purchase right shall automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any Change in Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for the Purchase Interval in which such Change in Control occurs to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Participant’s Entry Date into the offering period in which such Change in Control occurs or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control. For this purpose, payroll deductions shall be converted from the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary into U.S. Dollars on the exchange rate in effect on the purchase date. However, the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase, but not the limitation applicable to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable in total by all Participants.

7


 

          The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10)-days prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change in Control, and Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the Change in Control.
          H. Proration of Purchase Rights. Should the total number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan and the U.S. Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.
          I. Assignability. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.
          J. Shareholder Rights. A Participant shall have no shareholder rights with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until the shares are purchased on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of the purchased shares.
     VIII. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS
          A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Code Section 423) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.
          B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:
          (i) The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a series of installments on each successive Purchase Date during the offering period on which such right remains outstanding.
          (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock under one (1) or more

8


 

other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.
          C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then the payroll deductions that the Participant made during that Purchase Interval with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.
          D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.
     IX. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN
          A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on December 20, 2006 and shall become effective on the start date of the first offering period implemented under the Plan in accordance with Section IV.B. This amendment and restatement was adopted by the Board on March 12, 2008 and shall become effective upon approval of the related amendment and restatement of the U.S. Plan by the Corporation’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In no event, however, shall any payroll deductions be collected or purchase rights be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued, pursuant to the March 12, 2008 amendment and restatement of the Plan unless the Corporation is at the time in compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan on an appropriate and effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or regulation.
          B. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the last business day in April 2018 (or April 2017, if the Corporation’s shareholders do not approve an extension of the term of the U.S. Plan and the Plan at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders), (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan and the U.S. Plan shall have been sold pursuant to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Change in Control. No further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.
     X. AMENDMENT/TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
          A. The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase Interval.
          B. In no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or revisions to the Plan without the approval of the Corporation’s shareholders: (i) increase the

9


 

number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation’s capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Plan, or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan.
     XI. GENERAL PROVISIONS
          A. All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Corporation; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition of any shares purchased under the Plan.
          B. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Foreign Subsidiary for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s employment at any time for any reason, with or without cause, subject to applicable law and any employment agreement between the Foreign Subsidiary and the Participant.
          C. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.
          D. The Corporation and each Foreign Subsidiary shall have the right to take whatever steps the Plan Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply with all applicable withholding requirements, and the Corporation’s obligations to deliver shares under this Plan shall be conditioned upon compliance with all such withholding requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation and each Foreign Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold the required amounts from any other compensation or other amounts that it may owe to the Participant, or to require the Participant to pay to the Corporation or the Foreign Subsidiary any such amounts that the Corporation or the Foreign Subsidiary may be required to withhold with respect to such shares. In this connection, the Plan Administrator may require the Participant to notify the Plan Administrator, the Corporation or a Foreign Subsidiary before the Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any shares acquired under the Plan.
          E. The Plan Administrator may adopt such procedures and subplans and make such modifications as may be necessary or advisable to comply with local laws including favorable tax laws.
