ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court

and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Section 11 of the

for indemnification of certain agents to the maximum extent permitted by the

provisions include current and former directors, officers, employees and other
agents of the Company, as well as persons, who serve at the request of the
Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another enterprise. In
addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify
such individuals and to advance expenses incurred in defending any action or
proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement 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) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the By-Law
provisions, Section 11 of the Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant and
the indemnification agreements described above in Item 6, 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 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 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
hereunder, 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Company's or any Subsidiary's right to alter the "at will" nature of the

shall be exercised, (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the

12
<PAGE> 6
10. Exercise of Option.
(a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan
and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
(i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number
of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
11. Effect of Termination of Employment or Death or Disability
of Optionee.
(a) Termination in General. In the event that an Optionee
during his or her lifetime ceases to be an Employee for any reason including
retirement, other than misconduct of the Optionee, any Option, including any
unexercised portion thereof, which was otherwise exercisable on the date of
termination of employment, shall expire unless exercised within such time period
as is determined by the Committee; which shall be ninety (90) days from the date
the Optionee ceases to be an Employee unless the Committee has specified another
time period prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) day period; and
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the period of exercisability
provided for above, as applicable shall in no event continue after the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
(b) Misconduct: If in any case the Committee shall determine
that an Employee shall have been discharged due to misconduct (as defined below)
such Employee shall not thereafter have any rights under the Plan or any Option
that shall have been granted to him or her under the Plan. For purposes of the
Plan, "misconduct" means conduct for which the Company's determines to terminate
an Employee's relationship with the Company due to (i)
13
<PAGE> 7
willful breach or neglect of duty; (ii) failure or refusal to work or to comply
with the Company's rules, policies, and practices; (iii) dishonesty; (iv)
insubordination; (v) being under the influence of drugs (except to the extent
medically prescribed) or alcohol while on duty or on Company premises; (vi)
conduct endangering, or likely to endanger, the health or safety of another
Employee, any other person or the property of the Company; or (vii) conviction
of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony.
(c) Termination of Employment due to Disability or Death. In
the event of the death or permanent, total Disability of an Optionee, that
portion of the Option which had become exercisable as of the date of death or
permanent, total Disability shall be exercisable by the Optionee or his or her
personal representatives, heirs, or legatees within 12 months of the date of
death or permanent, total Disability or such time period as is determined by the
Committee. In the event of the death of an Optionee within three months after
termination as an Employee, that portion of the Option which had become
exercisable as of the date of termination shall be exercisable by his or her
personal representatives, heirs, or legatees within 6 months of the date of
death or such time period as is determined by the Committee. In the event that
an Optionee ceases to be an Employee of the Company or of any Subsidiary for any
reason, including death, Disability or retirement, prior to the lapse of any
vesting period, his or her Option shall terminate and be null and void to the
extent the requirement for such vesting period has not been satisfied.
(d) Leave of Absence. The employment relationship shall not be
considered interrupted in the case of: (i) sick leave, military leave or any
other leave of absence approved by the Board, or (ii) in the case of transfer
between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Subsidiaries or its
successor. In the case of any Employee on an approved leave of absence, the
Committee may make such provisions respecting suspension of vesting of the
Option while on leave from the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary as it may
deem appropriate, if any, except that in no event shall an Option be exercised
after the expiration of the term set forth in the Option agreement.
(e) Acceleration of Vesting. The Committee may accelerate the
earliest date on which outstanding Options (or any installments thereof) are
exercisable.
12. Withholding Taxes; Stock Withholding to Satisfy Withholding Tax
Obligations. Whenever, under the Plan, Shares are to be issued in satisfaction
of Options granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to require the
Optionee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state,
and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate
or certificates for such Shares.
When an Optionee incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise
or vesting of any Option, which tax liability is subject to tax withholding
under applicable tax laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an
amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold
from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market
14
<PAGE> 8
Value equal to the amount required to be withheld determined on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").
All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for this purpose
shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be
subject to the following restrictions:
(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
(b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the
particular Shares as to which the election is made;
(c) all elections shall be subject to the disapproval of the Committee.
13. Recapitalization. In the event that dividends are payable in Common
Stock or in the event there are splits, subdivisions, or combinations of shares
of Common Stock, the number of Shares available under the Plan shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, as the case may be, and the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable in connection with any Option theretofore
granted shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as the case may be,
without change in the aggregate purchase price (where applicable).
14. Reorganization. In case the Company is merged or consolidated with
another corporation and the Company is not the surviving corporation, or in case
the property or stock of the Company is acquired by another corporation, or in
case of separation, reorganization, or liquidation of the Company, then the
Board, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of
the Company hereunder, shall, as to outstanding Options either (a) make
appropriate provision for the protection of any such outstanding Options by the
assumption or substitution on an equitable basis of appropriate stock of the
Company or of the merged, consolidated, or otherwise reorganized corporation
which will be issuable in respect to the shares of Common Stock, or (b) upon
written notice to the Optionee, provide that the Option must be exercised within
30 days of the date of such notice or it will be terminated. In any such case,
the Board or the Committee may, in its discretion, advance the lapse of vesting
periods and exercise dates.
15. Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option
transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.
16. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting

17. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and
the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's
ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options
granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
18. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise
of an Option the Company may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.
19. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.
20. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this
Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

(the "1933 Act") of 7,000,000 shares of your Common Stock (the "Shares"),
reserved for issuance under the LSI Logic Corporation 1999 Nonstatutory Stock
Option Plan, (the "Plan"). As your legal counsel, we have examined the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, the Plan and such other

In our opinion, the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner referred
to in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany the Plan, will be
legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
