Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities registered hereby has been passed upon for the Registrant by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation (“WSGR”), Palo Alto, California. Larry W. Sonsini, a member of WSGR and certain partnership investment accounts of WSGR in which Mr. Sonsini is a participant own an aggregate of 55,000 shares of Registrant Common Stock. These shares were issued to applicable partnership investment accounts of WSGR upon the exercise of options granted to Mr. Sonsini during his service as a member of the Registrant’s board of directors. Upon exercise of such options, 10% of the shares were issued to Mr. Sonsini and 90% of the shares were issued to the applicable partnership investment accounts of WSGR.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms that are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of its directors to the company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Our bylaws provide for the mandatory indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, our bylaws give us the power to indemnify our employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for the circumstances under which we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and pay their expenses if they become involved in litigation as a result of their service with the company. These agreements also provide a number of circumstances under which we will not indemnify our directors or executive officers or pay their expenses pursuant to the agreements. The benefits provided under these agreements with our directors and executive officers are in addition to the benefits provided by our bylaws.

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:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to the information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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 foregoing provisions, 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Milpitas, State of California, on May 28, 2010.

RE: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of an aggregate of up to 58,215,255 shares (the “Shares”) of your common stock for issuance under the LSI Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the LSI Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).
As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by you in connection with the issuance, sale and payment of consideration for the Shares to be issued under the Plans. It is our opinion that, when issued in the manner referred to in and pursuant to the Plans and pursuant to the agreements which accompany the Plans, the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
Sincerely,
/s/ WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
