investment in the common stock of Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM). The
terms of the call option contracts were as follows:

We received premiums totaling $5.1 million for entering into these

exercised under the terms of the agreements at the expiration date.
Accordingly, we received proceeds of $37.7 million on March 24, 2000
representing the exercise prices for the sale of the 300,000 underlying
shares of Phone.com. The total proceeds received by us from these
transactions was $42.8 million.

Dear Sir or Madam:
The purpose of this revised letter agreement (this "Confirmation") is to
confirm the terms and conditions of the Option Transaction entered into
between us on the Trade Date specified below (the "Transaction"). This
letter agreement constitutes a "Confirmation" as referred to in the ISDA
Master Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 1991 ISDA Definitions
(the "Swap Definitions") and the 1996 ISDA Equity Derivatives
Definitions (the "Equity Definitions", and together with the Swap
Definitions, the "Definitions"), in each case as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA")) are
incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency
between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity
Definitions will govern. In the event if any inconsistency between
either set of Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will
govern.
This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between Lehman
Brothers Finance S.A. ("Party A") and Cirrus Logic Inc. ("Party B") as
to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. In
addition, you and we agree to use all reasonable efforts promptly to
negotiate, execute and deliver an agreement (the "Master Agreement") in
the form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) (the
"ISDA Form"), with such modifications as you and we will in good faith
agree. Upon the execution by you and us of such an agreement, this
Confirmation will supplement, form a part of, and be subject to that
agreement that will govern all Transactions entered into between Party A
and Party B. All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in
that agreement upon its execution will govern this Confirmation except
as expressly modified below. Until we execute and deliver that
agreement, this Confirmation, together with all other documents (each a
"Confirmation") confirming transactions entered into between us and
referring to the ISDA Form, shall supplement, form a part of, and be
subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Form as if we had
executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule) on the
Trade Date of the first such transaction between us. In the event of
any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement, or the
Master Agreement when executed, and this Confirmation, this Confirmation
will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction.
The terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as
follows:

on behalf of Party A for this Transaction. LBI

agreement to which it is a party; (v) it has
consulted with its legal advisor(s) and has
reached its own conclusions about this
Transaction, and any legal, regulatory, tax,
accounting or economic consequences arising from
this Transaction; and (vi) it has concluded that
this Transaction is suitable in light of its own
investment objectives, financial capabilities and
expertise.
Party B further represents that (a) it is not an
"affiliate" of the Issuer, as such term is

Securities Act of 1933, nor is it a counterparty
entering into this Transaction on behalf of the
Issuer or any affiliate thereof; and (b) it is

that agreement upon its execution will govern this Confirmation except
as expressly modified below. Until we execute and deliver that
agreement, this Confirmation, together with all other documents (each a

referring to the ISDA Form, shall supplement, form a part of, and be
subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Form as if we had
executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule) on the

will prevail for the purpose of this Transaction.

Definitions, the "Definitions"), in each case as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA")) are
