(1) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

(2) The directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation.

(4) No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the GCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the GCL, as so amended.

(5) With respect to any persons serving as a director or officer of NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (“NetLogic”) or any NetLogic Subsidiary prior to the effective time of the merger of I&N Acquisition Corp. with and into NetLogic pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 11, 2011, by and among Broadcom Corporation,


I&N Acquisition Corp. and NetLogic, from and after the effective time, the Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any such individual made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such individual, such individual’s testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation. “NetLogic Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, association, business entity, partnership, limited liability company or other organization or entity, whether incorporated or unincorporated, of which such party, either alone owns or together with one or more subsidiaries or by one or more subsidiaries, (i) directly or indirectly owns or controls securities or other interests representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any limited liability company or joint stock company), firm or other enterprise, association, organization or entity (collectively, a “Person”) or (ii) is entitled, by contract or otherwise, to elect, appoint, or designate directors constituting at least a majority of the members of such Person’s board of directors or other governing body.
