WHEREAS, the General Partner and the holders of at least 85% of the outstanding Exchangeable Units (excluding any Exchangeable Units held by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) have approved this Amendment.

In the event that (i) Holdings implements the Scheme of Arrangement in substantially the form attached hereto asExhibit A on or before December 31, 2018 or such later date as is approved by the General Partner and the holders of at least 85% of the outstanding Exchangeable Units (excluding any Exchangeable Units held by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) (the “Scheme”) contemplated by that certain Implementation Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto asExhibit B, between Holdings and Broadcom Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Broadcom-Delaware”), and (ii) the Tax Condition (as defined below) is satisfied, then all outstanding Exchangeable Units (excluding any Exchangeable Units held by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be mandatorily exchanged, without any action on the part of Holdings, Broadcom-Delaware, the Partnership or any holder of such Exchangeable Units, on aunit-for-share basis, for shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware, whereupon each Limited Partner shall receive from Broadcom-Delaware one share of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware in exchange for each Exchangeable Unit held by such Limited Partner (the “Mandatory Exchange”). The Mandatory Exchange contemplated by this Section 2.9 shall be effective as of immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Scheme.

For purposes of the foregoing paragraph:

(a)

The “Tax Condition” shall mean that the holders of at least 85% of the outstanding Exchangeable Units (excluding any Exchangeable Units held by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) shall not have notified the General Partner in writing of any change in the Tax Laws following theS-4 Effective Date that could reasonably be expected to result in such holders having significant uncertainty as to whether or not the Mandatory Exchange will betax-free to a Unitholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, as amended;

(b)

“Tax Laws” shall mean the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published guidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and court decisions; and

(c)

The “S-4 Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the FormS-4 registration statement filed by Broadcom-Delaware relating to the Mandatory Exchange is declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Upon the effectiveness of such mandatory exchange:

(a)

each holder of Exchangeable Units shall have, and shall be deemed to have, exchanged all of such holder’s right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Units in consideration for the transfer to such holder of the applicable number of shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware; and

(b)

Holdings will cause Broadcom-Delaware to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to such holder, for and on behalf of Broadcom-Delaware and in the manner provided for in this Section, the applicable number of shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware in exchange for the Exchangeable Units described in Section 2.9(a).

Such mandatory exchange shall have the following effects:

(a)

Holdings will cause Broadcom-Delaware to deliver or cause the Registrar and Transfer Agent to deliver, to the relevant holder the applicable shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid andnon-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance).

(b)

The holders of Exchangeable Units shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Units and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive applicable shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware, unless issuance of such shares is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Broadcom-Delaware shall become the holders of such Exchangeable Units.

(c)

The holders of Exchangeable Units exchanged for shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware delivered to it hereunder.

(d)

As a condition to delivery of the consideration, Broadcom-Delaware and the Registrar and Transfer Agent may require presentation and surrender at the office of Broadcom-Delaware (or at any office of the Registrar and Transfer Agent as may be specified by Broadcom-Delaware) of such documents and instruments as the Registrar and Transfer Agent may reasonably require pursuant to its standard and customary practices (but, in any event, excluding any representations and warranties other than as to ownership and authority) or as required by law (e.g., Internal Revenue Service FormsW-8 orW-9).

(e)

Where a record date in respect of a distribution occurs prior to the effective date of the Scheme and there is any declared and unpaid distribution on any Exchangeable Unit exchanged hereunder, such distribution shall remain payable and shall be paid in the applicable form on the designated payment date to the former holder of the Exchangeable Unit so exchanged hereunder. In no event shall the holder of any Exchangeable Units be entitled under any circumstance whatsoever to receive any distribution on any Exchangeable Unit more than once by virtue of this Agreement.

(f)

All filing fees, transfer taxes, sales taxes, document stamps or other similar charges levied by any Governmental Authority in connection with the exchange of the Exchangeable Units pursuant to this Section shall be paid by Broadcom-Delaware;provided,however, that the holder of such Exchangeable Units shall pay any such fees, taxes, stamps or similar charges that may be payable as a result of any transfer of the consideration payable in respect of such Exchangeable Units to a Person other than such holder. Except as provided in Section 5.4(f) of this Agreement, each party will bear its own costs in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)

For the avoidance of doubt, and in consideration of the fact that following such exchange the holders of shares of common stock of Broadcom-Delaware will have voting rights with respect thereto, (i) all of the rights of a holder with respect to its Attached Voting Interest in respect of an Exchangeable Unit shall be deemed to be surrendered by such holder together with such Exchangeable Unit, and such Attached Voting Interest shall cease to exist immediately, upon the exchange of such Exchangeable Unit pursuant to this Section and (ii) in no event shall the holder of any Exchangeable Units be entitled under any circumstance whatsoever to vote the Holdings Shares underlying such holder’s Exchangeable Units more than once by virtue of the Voting Trust Agreement.

(h)

If the Mandatory Exchange is required to become effective pursuant to this Section 2.9, Holdings will take any and all actions (and will cause Broadcom-Delaware to take any and all actions, including the assumption of Holdings’ obligations under this Section 2.9) as necessary to cause the Mandatory Exchange to be implemented in accordance with this Section 2.9.

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Agreement is, and shall remain, in full force and effect.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, and the Partners hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands.

Prior to the Effective Time, New US Topco will designate a nationally-recognized U.S. financial institution to act as exchange agent in the Redomiciliation (the “Exchange Agent”). At or immediately after the Effective Time, New US Topco shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, acting as exchange agent and solely for the account and benefit of the Ordinary Shareholders, for exchange in accordance with Clauses 4.2 and 4.3, book entry shares representing the full number of New US Topco Shares issuable pursuant to Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 in exchange for outstanding Broadcom Limited Ordinary Shares (such New US Topco Shares, the “Broadcom Consideration Fund”).

4.6.2

Promptly following the Effective Time, New US Topco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Ordinary Shareholder who is a holder of record of Broadcom Limited Certificates whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Consideration pursuant to Clauses 4.2 and 4.3: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Broadcom Limited Certificates in exchange for payment of the Consideration, the form and substance of which letter of transmittal and instructions shall be in a form prepared by New US Topco. Upon surrender of a Broadcom Limited Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and with such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Broadcom Limited Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding of Taxes, the Consideration, if any, pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 4 and Clause 5.7, and the Broadcom Limited Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid to holders of Broadcom Limited Certificates in connection with, or accrued on, the Consideration. If any Consideration is to be paid to a person other than a person in whose name the Broadcom Limited Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of payment of the Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Broadcom Limited Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

4.6.3

At and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the register of transfer of Broadcom of Broadcom Limited Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Broadcom Limited Certificates are presented to New US Topco,

4.6.4

Any portion of the Broadcom Consideration Fund that remains unclaimed by the Ordinary Shareholders ninety calendar days after the Effective Time shall (upon request by New US Topco) be delivered to New US Topco. Any holders of Broadcom Limited Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Clause 4 with respect to such Broadcom Limited Certificates shall thereafter (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws) look only to New US Topco for payment of their claim for the Consideration in respect thereof.

4.6.5

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any person in respect of Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Broadcom Limited Certificate shall not have been surrendered or transferred prior to the date on which any Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Agency pursuant to applicable Laws, any Consideration in respect of such Broadcom Limited Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of New US Topco.

4.6.6

If any Broadcom Limited Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (such affidavit shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to New US Topco and the Exchange Agent) by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Broadcom Limited Certificate, the Consideration to which such person is entitled in respect of such Broadcom Limited Certificate pursuant to this Clause 4; provided, however, that New US Topco may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Broadcom Limited Certificate to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as New US Topco may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against New US Topco, the Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Broadcom Limited Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.6.7

No dividends or other distributions with respect to New US Topco Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Broadcom Limited Certificate representing Broadcom Limited Ordinary Shares as at the Effective Time until the surrender of such Broadcom Limited Certificate in accordance with this Clause 4. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Broadcom Limited Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the New US Topco Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole New US Topco Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to New US Topco Shares.
