ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Bermuda law permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers,
except for any act of fraud or dishonesty. Marvell has provided in its Bye-laws
that the directors and officers and the liquidators and trustees, if any, of
Marvell will be indemnified and secured harmless to the full extent permitted by
law out of the assets of Marvell from and against all actions, costs, charges,
losses, damages and expenses incurred by reason of any act done, concurred in or
omitted in or about the execution of their duties of supposed duties, or in
their respective offices or trusts, and none of them shall be answerable for the
acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the others of them or for joining in any
receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other persons with
whom any moneys or effects belonging to Marvell shall or may be lodged or
deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency or deficiency of any security
upon which any moneys of or belonging to Marvell shall be placed out on or
invested, or for any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the
execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto, other
than in the case of any fraud or dishonesty. In addition, Marvell has provided
in its Bye-laws that each shareholder of Marvell agrees to waive any claim or
right of action, individually or in the right of Marvell, against any director
or officer of Marvell on account of any action taken by such director or
officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action, in the
performance of his duties with or for Marvell, other than with respect to any
matter involving any fraud or dishonesty on behalf of such director or officer.
We recently amended our Bye-laws to provide that the waiver is not applicable to
claims arising under United States federal securities laws. The amendment
received shareholder approval on June 17, 2000.

     Bermuda law also permits Marvell to purchase insurance for the benefit of
its directors and officers against any liability incurred by them for the
failure to exercise the requisite care, diligence and skill in the exercise of
their powers and the discharge of their duties, or indemnifying them in respect
of any loss arising or liability incurred by them by reason of negligence,
default, breach of duty or breach of trust. Marvell plans to purchase
indemnification insurance for its officers and directors.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     From January 1, 1997 through June 20, 2000, we have issued and sold the
following unregistered securities:

          1. In June 1997, we issued convertible promissory notes in the
     aggregate principal amount of $2,211,250 to six investors for $2,211,250 in
     cash. In conjunction with the issuance of the convertible promissory notes,
     we issued warrants to purchase 76,544 shares of Series D preferred stock to
     such investors at an exercise price of $4.33 per share, which warrants were
     exercised in June 2000. The number of shares subject to such warrant
     equaled 15% of the principal amount of each purchaser's note divided by the
     exercise price, which was $6.50 prior to the June 1998 stock split. In
     December 1997, these noteholders converted the convertible promissory notes
     into 510,288 shares of Series D Preferred at a conversion price of $4.33
     per share.

          2. In December 1997, as partial consideration for acting as our
     placement agents, we issued warrants to InveStar Capital, Inc. and
     Hambrecht & Quist LLC to purchase an aggregate of 16,929 shares of Series D
     preferred stock at an exercise price of $4.33 per share, which warrants
     were exercised in June 2000.

          3. During the period December 1997 through March 2000, we sold an
     aggregate of 2,548,288 shares of Series D preferred stock to 54 accredited
     investors pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D. We sold the shares at a
     purchase price of $4.33 per share for an aggregate consideration of
     $11,042,506 in cash.

          4. In May 1998, in connection with a loan agreement we issued a
     warrant to our bank to purchase up to 45,000 shares of Series D preferred
     stock at an exercise price of $4.33 per share.

          5. In June 1999, in connection with a loan agreement we issued a
     warrant to our bank to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common stock at an
     exercise price of $1.50.

          6. In September 1999, we sold an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Series
     E preferred stock to an investor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share
     for an aggregate consideration of $3,500,000 in cash.

          7. As of June 20, 2000, 18,054,831 shares of common stock had been
     issued to our employees, directors and consultants upon exercise of options
     at exercise prices ranging from $0.03 to the initial public offering price
     per share and 14,546,809 shares of common were issuable upon exercise of
     outstanding options under our stock option plans at exercise prices ranging
     from $0.03 to the initial public offering price per share.

     All share numbers and exercise prices for common stock have been adjusted
to reflect the 50% stock dividend in June 1998 and the two 100% common stock
dividends approved by our shareholders on March 17, 2000. All share numbers and
exercise prices for preferred stock have been adjusted to reflect the 50% stock
dividend in June 1998. Although the number of shares of Series D preferred stock
and the Series E preferred stock were not affected by the two 100% common stock
dividends approved by our shareholders on March 17, 2000, all of the 2,617,140
outstanding shares of Series D preferred stock and the 350,000 shares of Series
E preferred stock will automatically convert on a four-for-one basis into shares
of common stock upon the consummation of this offering.

     The sales and issuances of securities listed above were deemed to be exempt
from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D
thereunder as transactions not involving a public offering or by virtue of Rule
701 as transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts
relating to compensation. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted
securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

     (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under "Item
14 -- Indemnification of Directors and Officers" above, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-3

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
     this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by
the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
