MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN

1. Purpose. This Plan is intended to attract and retain the best
available individuals as Employees and Consultants of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, to provide additional incentives to those Employees and
Consultants, and to promote the success of the Company's business.

2. Defined Terms. The meanings of defined terms (generally, capitalized
terms) in this Plan are provided in Section 22 ("Glossary").


3. Shares Reserved. Subject to Section 14, a maximum aggregate of
29,500,000 Shares may be issued under this Plan; provided however, that
beginning the first business day of each fiscal year starting January 30, 2000
or after, there shall be added to this Plan the lesser of an additional (i)
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 5.0% of the outstanding shares of capital
stock on such date, or (iii) an amount determined by the Board. The Shares may
be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. If an Option expires or
becomes unexercisable for any reason, any unpurchased Optioned Stock shall be
available for future issuance under this Plan. Shares retained to satisfy tax
withholding obligations do not reduce the number authorized for issuance.


4. Administration.

(a) In General. This Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
Committee appointed by the Board. Once appointed, a Committee shall serve until
otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the
size of the Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or
without cause) and appoint new members in their stead, fill vacancies however
caused, and terminate the Committee and thereafter directly administer this
Plan.

(b) After Exchange Act Applies. After the Company becomes subject to the
Exchange Act, the Board may provide for administration of this Plan with respect
to Employees who are also officers or directors of the Company by a Committee
constituted so as to permit this Plan to comply as a discretionary plan with
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto. A
Committee appointed under this Section 4(b) may be separate from any Committee
appointed to administer this Plan with respect to Employees who are neither
officers nor directors.



(c) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of this Plan
and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board, the
Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock;

(ii) to grant Options to such Consultants and Employees as it
selects;

(iii) to determine the terms and conditions of each Option
granted, including without limitation the number of Shares of Optioned
Stock, the exercise price per share, and whether an Option is to be
granted as an ISO or a NSO;

(iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under this Plan;

(v) to determine whether and under what circumstances to offer to
buy out an Option for cash or Shares under Section 13;

(vi) to modify grants of Options to participants who are foreign
nationals or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize
differences in local law, tax policies, or customs; and

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan and
Options granted pursuant to this Plan.

(d) Administrator's Decisions Binding. All decisions, determinations,
and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of any Options, and no member of the
Administrator shall be liable for any such determination, decision, or
interpretation made in good faith.

5. Eligibility.

(a) NSOs/ISOs. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees
and Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Options.

(b) Limitations.

(i) If the Company or a successor issues any class of equity
securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act or if this Plan is assumed by a corporation that has a class of such
securities, the following limitations shall apply to grants of Options
to Employees:



2

(ii) No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares, adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's
capitalization as described in Section 14. If an Option is granted but
canceled in the same fiscal year, it shall nonetheless count against the
foregoing limit. Reduction of an Option's exercise price is treated as a
cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.

6. Term of Options. The term of each Option shall be determined by the
Administrator at the time of grant but shall not exceed ten years. In the case
of an ISO granted to an Optionee who, at the time of grant, owns stock
representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the Option term shall not exceed
five years.

7. Date of Grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the
date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which the Administrator
completes the actions necessary to grant the Option. Notice of the grant shall
be given to the Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of the grant.

8. Exercise Price and Form of Consideration.

(a) Price. The per-Share exercise price of an Option shall be determined
by the Administrator at the time of grant, but:

(i) In the case of an ISO:

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock
representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per-Share
exercise price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the
date of grant; or

(B) granted to any other Employee, the per-Share exercise price shall
be at least the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(ii) In the case of a NSO:

(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock
representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per-Share
exercise price shall be at least the Fair Market Value on the date of
grant; or



3

(B) granted to any other Employee, the per-Share exercise price shall
be at least 85% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

(b) Form of Payment. Payment for Shares upon exercise of an Option shall
be made in any lawful consideration approved by the Administrator and may,
without limitation, consist of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) other Shares that have a
Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the aggregate exercise price
of the Shares as to which Option is exercised, (4) delivery by a broker or
brokerage firm approved by the Administrator of a properly executed exercise
notice together with payment of the exercise price and such other documentation
as the Administrator shall require, or (5) any combination of the foregoing.

9. Exercise.

(a) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and
under such conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant.

(b) Vesting. Each Option and the corresponding Optioned Stock shall vest
at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator at
the time of grant, and as are otherwise permissible under the terms of this
Plan, including without limitation, performance criteria with respect to the
Company and/or the Optionee.

(c) Fractional Shares. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of
a Share.

(d) Manner of Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Unless otherwise
allowed by the Administrator, an Option shall be exercised by delivery to the
Company of all of the following: (i) written notice of exercise by the Optionee,
in a form approved by the Administrator and in accordance with the terms of the
Option, (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised, and (iii) payment (or provision for payment) of withholding taxes
pursuant to Subsection (g), below. Delivery of any of the foregoing may be by
electronic means approved by the Administrator. The Optionee shall be treated as
a shareholder of the Company with respect to the purchased Shares upon
completion of exercise of the Option.

(e) Optionee Representations. If Shares purchasable pursuant to the
exercise of an Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, at the time the Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required
by the Administrator, as a condition to exercise of all or any portion of the
Option, deliver to the Company an investment representation statement in a form
approved by the Administrator.

(f) Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. If an
Optionee's Continuous Service terminates, the Optionee (or the Optionee's estate
or heirs, if termination is due to death or the Optionee dies during the
post-termination exercise



4

period of the Option) may exercise the Option, (i) only within such period of
time as is determined by the Administrator (but no later than the expiration
date for the Option determined by the Administrator at the time of grant) and
the Option shall terminate at the end of that period, and (ii) unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of termination.

(g) Tax Withholding. The Company's obligation to deliver Shares upon
exercise of an Option is subject to payment (or provision for payment
satisfactory to the Administrator) by the Optionee of all federal, state, and
local income and employment taxes that the Administrator determines in its
discretion to be due as a result of the exercise of the Option or sale of the
Shares.

10. Rule 16b-3. Except to the extent determined by the Administrator,
Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall
comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such terms as may be required or
desirable to qualify Plan transactions for the maximum exemption from Section 16
of the Exchange Act.

11. Non-Transferability of Options. Options 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.

12. Lockup Agreement. Grant and exercise of each Option are subject to
the Optionee's agreement, upon the request of (and in form and substance
satisfactory to) the Company or the underwriters managing an initial firmly
underwritten public offering of the Company's securities, not to sell, make any
short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose
of any Shares or any derivative security (unless included in the registration of
Shares offered) without the prior written consent of the Company or such
underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180
days) from the effective date of the registration as the Company or underwriters
may specify.

13. Buyout of Options. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
out an Option for a payment in cash or Shares, based on such terms and
conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee
at the time of the offer.

14. Changes in Capitalization or Control.

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Optioned Stock and the
number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but as
to which no Options have then been granted or that have been returned to this
Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per
share of Optioned Stock, shall be proportionately adjusted



5

for any change in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
Common Stock, or any other change in the number of issued Shares effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company (not counting Shares issued upon
conversion of convertible securities of the Company as "effected without receipt
of consideration"). Such adjustment shall be made by the Board and shall be
final, binding, and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance
by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no consequent adjustment shall
be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to this Plan.

(b) Change in Control. The Administrator may, in its discretion,
determine at any time from and after the grant of an Option the effect that a
Change in Control shall have upon the Option; provided however, that a Change in
Control shall not have the effect of impairing the rights of any Optionee under
any then-outstanding Option without his or her prior written consent. Without
limiting the foregoing sentence, the Administrator may determine that upon a
Change in Control, an Option:

(i) shall become fully vested and exercisable either for a
limited period following the Change in Control or for the remainder of
the Option's term;

(ii) shall terminate upon or after a specified period following
the Change in Control;

(iii) shall be cancelled in exchange for cash in the amount of
the excess of the fair market value of the Optioned Shares over the
exercise price upon termination; or

(iv) shall be treated as provided under a combination of clauses
(i) through (iii), or shall be so treated only if not adequately assumed
(or substituted for) by a surviving or successor person or entity in the
transactions or events that give rise to the Change in Control.

For purposes of this Section 14(b), (x) the occurrence of any of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall not constitute an impairment of the
rights of any Optionee and (y) the "Administrator" shall be the Administrator as
constituted before the Change in Control occurs.

15. Amendments. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or
discontinue this Plan, but no such action shall impair the rights of any
Optionee under any then-outstanding Option without his or her prior written
consent.

16. Securities Regulation Requirements.

(a) Compliance with Rule; Buy-out Offer. In general, Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of the Option
and issuance of the Shares comply with all relevant provisions of law,
including, without limitation, any applicable state securities laws, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
Shares may then be listed, and the requirements of any regulatory body having
jurisdiction. When the Company receives notice of exercise of an Option, if the
Administrator believes in its discretion that the period before Shares may be
issued will exceed 21 days, the Administrator shall (unless it determines that
such an offer is itself prevented by the rules described in the preceding
sentence) make an offer pursuant to Section 13 to buy out the portion of the
Option corresponding to the number of Shares whose issuance is thus prevented.
The buy-out offer shall be valid for at least 21 days.

(b) Optionee Investment Representation. As a condition to the exercise
of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to
represent and warrant that the Shares are being purchased only for investment
and without any present intention to sell or distribute the Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law.

17. Written Option Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written
agreements in a form the Administrator approves from time to time. The written
agreement shall designate the Option as either an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. Delay in executing a written agreement shall not
affect the date of grant of an Option; however, an Option may not be exercised
until a written agreement has been executed by the Company and the Optionee.

18. Shareholder Approval. This Plan is subject to approval by the
shareholders of the Company within 12 months after the Board adopts this Plan.
Shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
applicable state and federal law and the rules of any stock exchange upon which
the Common Stock is listed.

19. Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee
copies of financial statements at least annually, at the same time and in the
same form as it furnishes such information to its shareholders. The Company
shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties
assure their access to equivalent information.

20. No Employment Rights. This Plan does not confer upon any Optionee
any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship
with the



7

Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Company's right to terminate
his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without
cause.

21. Term of Plan. This Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of adoption by the Board or approval by the shareholders of the Company,

to apply to the Israeli Tax Authorities to obtain a pre-ruling to
