<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i)&nbsp;to include any
prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and (iii)&nbsp;to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2)
that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act 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; and (3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers or 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, this registration statement
hereby incorporates by reference the contents of the Registration Statements on
Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-132858, 333-124289 and 333-106479) filed by
Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") on March 30, 2006, April 25, 2005
and June 25, 2003, respectively, including any amendments thereto or filings
incorporated therein, relating to the Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. Directors
Stock Plan (the "Directors Plan") and the Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. 2003
Long-Term Incentives Plan (the "2003 LTIP"), except as expressly modified
herein. This registration statement is filed by the Company for the purposes
of registering an additional 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
available for issuance under the 2003 LTIP and an additional 671,952 shares of
Common Stock of the Company available for issuance under the Directors Plan.

160,000 shares or (ii) 0.18% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
date, subject to the Board of Directors selecting a lesser amount. On March 5,
2007, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Directors
Plan that fixed the authorized number of shares under the Directors Plan at
1,440,000 shares and discontinued the automatic increases described above for
fiscal years following 2007.
On March 5, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved an increase in the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company available for delivery under

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; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and (iii) to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2)
that for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act 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; and (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, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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 may be permitted to
directors, officers or 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
