SEPARATION AGREEMENT

     THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective this 28th day of March, 2007 (the “Agreement Date”), between Donald J. Esses (“Employee”) and LSI Logic Corporation (the “Company”), with respect to the following recitals of fact:

     A. Employee is currently employed as an executive officer of the Company.

     B. The Company and Employee desire to set forth the terms on which Employee is leaving his employment with the Company.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Resignation. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, as of April 30, 2007, Employee will have resigned all of his positions with the Company (including, but not limited to, his status as an executive officer of Company), and any other positions with other entities that are affiliated with the Company, other than his position as a Technical Consultant, as described in Section 2, below. Employee shall execute a letter of resignation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” concurrent with his execution of this Agreement. In addition, Employee shall execute any additional documents that may be necessary or appropriate to effect or to memorialize any resignations from the Company contemplated by this Agreement.

     2. Change In Status. From and after April 30, 2007, all compensation and benefits shall cease, except for those specifically listed in this Section 2. Employee’s position with the Company, including all compensation and eligibility for benefits (other than post-termination benefits specifically described herein), shall terminate on the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2008, or (ii) Employee’s commencement of any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity such that this activity would include being an employee of a company and working greater than nineteen (19) hours per week at a single employer (the “Termination Date”).

     2.1 Position. Employee will remain an employee of the Company until such time as his employment terminates on the Termination Date. Employee’s job title, as of the Agreement Date, will be “Technical Consultant.” In this position, Employee will be required to provide technical consulting to the Company on an as-needed basis. Employee’s position as Technical Consultant, and any other position with the Company, will terminate as of the Termination Date. During Employee’s tenure as a Technical Consultant, Employee shall be paid an annualized salary of $319,300.00, paid every two weeks, less any and all statutory withholding and deductions as required by law or as authorized by Employee.

     2.2 Stock Rights. Employee will not be eligible to receive any further stock option or restricted stock unit grants after April 30, 2007. However, existing stock option

     and restricted stock unit grants will continue to vest, until the Termination Date, as described in Section 3, below.

     2.3 Benefit Plans. Employee and Employee’s dependents shall continue to be covered by the Company’s group benefit plans (e.g., medical, dental, vision care, and life insurance), at the Company’s expense, except for the employee-paid portion of such premiums, from April 30, 2007 to and including the last day of the month in which the Termination Date falls, to the same extent Employee and Employee’s dependents were covered by said plans as of April 30, 2007. If Employee desires to continue coverage, pursuant to COBRA, after the Termination Date, Employee may do so at Employee’s own expense. Employee understands and agrees that he must complete a COBRA application in order to receive the extension of health benefits beyond the Termination Date.

     2.4 Incentive Bonus Plans and Other Benefits. Employee will no longer be eligible to participate in any bonus program. Employee will not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits after April 30, 2007, other than what is specifically set forth in this Section 2. Employee’s car allowance and vacation accrual will be terminated effective as of April 30, 2007.

     3. Outstanding Stock Rights. Employee acknowledges that he holds the stock options and restricted stock units (the “Stock Rights”) set forth on Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has no other options, stock units, or other rights received from the Company to purchase any stock or securities of the Company or any affiliate thereof (collectively, the “Issuers”). Employee’s outstanding Stock Rights will continue to vest through the Termination Date. Any vested stock options must be exercised within 90 days of the Termination Date. Employee understands and agrees that all Stock Rights which have not vested on or before the Termination Date will expire on the Termination Date, and vested stock options not exercised within 90 days of the Termination Date will expire on the 91st day following the Termination Date. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he does not enter into this Agreement on the basis of or in reliance in any way on any representation or assurance of any Issuer or any officer, director, employee or agent of any Issuer regarding the current or future value of his Stock Rights or of any stock or securities of any Issuer.

     4. Outplacement Services. The Company will pay up to $10,000 in outplacement fees directly to a firm of the Employee’s choosing, provided such firm meets with the reasonable approval of the Company. Employee must initiate the use of any Company-paid outplacement services no later than August 1, 2007.

     5. Release.

     (a) Employee, for himself, and his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, successors, agents, and representatives, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company, and each and all of its heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, predecessors, owners, shareholders, agents, representatives, employees,

Employee further agrees that Employee fully and forever waives any and all rights and benefits conferred

upon Employee by the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, or any other similar federal, state, or local law, which states as follows (parentheticals added):

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR (i.e., EMPLOYEE) DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR (i.e., THE COMPANY).”

     (e) The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

     6. Confidentiality and Return of Company Property.

     (b) Employee represents and warrants that to the best of his knowledge and belief he has returned to the Company all tangible and intangible property of the Company in his possession, custody, or control. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing representation and warranty, if Employee discovers he has retained any property of the Company, he shall promptly notify the Company thereof and take reasonable steps in accordance with the Company’s instructions to return such property to the Company. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination, for any reason, of this Agreement.

     7. Governing Law.

     9. Further Actions. Employee, for himself, and his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, covenants not to sue or otherwise institute or cause to be instituted or in any way actively participate in or voluntarily assist in (except at the Company’s request or as provided by law) the prosecution of any legal or administrative proceedings against Company

and/or any of the Related Entities with respect to any matter arising out of or relating to any liabilities, claims, demands, contracts, debts, obligations and causes of action released hereunder.

     10. No Admission of Liability. Employee and Company both acknowledge and agree that this is a compromise settlement of the hereinabove mentioned dealings and disputes, which is not in any respect to be deemed, construed, or treated as an admission or a concession of any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever by either party for any purpose whatsoever.

     13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

     14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior, contemporaneous or subsequent statements, representations, agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect hereto.
