<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;X of Cypress&#146;s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same now exists or may
hereafter be amended, a director shall not be personally liable to Cypress or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that Cypress is authorized to
provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and
other agents of Cypress in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by
Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory
limits created by applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a
corporation, its stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of their duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of Cypress&#146;s Bylaws provides that Cypress (i)&nbsp;shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress,
or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii)&nbsp;may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of
Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The Bylaws provide that the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;VI of Cypress&#146;s Bylaws also provides that Cypress (i)&nbsp;shall indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of
Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, and (ii)&nbsp;may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of
Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to Cypress unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cypress&#146;s Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of Cypress has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of Cypress has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cypress&#146;s Bylaws also permit Cypress to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or agent of Cypress for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity,
regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit indemnification. Cypress currently maintains
liability insurance for its officers and directors.

report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, 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 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents and information previously filed by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation
("Cypress") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are hereby incorporated
by reference in this registration statement:
(a) Cypress's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28,
2003;
(b) Cypress's Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March
28, 2004, June 27, 2004 and September 26, 2004; and
(c) The description of Cypress's common stock contained in Cypress's Registration
Statement on Form 8-A dated August 30, 1988 filed pursuant to Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating any such description.
All documents filed by Cypress pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act on or after the date of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is,
or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein, modified or supersedes such statement.
Except as so modified or superseded, such statement shall not be deemed to constitute a part of
this registration statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article X of Cypress's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same now exists or may
hereafter be amended, a director shall not be personally liable to Cypress or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that Cypress is authorized to
provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers, employees and
other agents of Cypress in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject only to statutory and non-statutory
limits created by applicable Delaware law with respect to actions for breach of duty to a
corporation, its stockholders and others. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their
fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Table of Contents
Article VI of Cypress's Bylaws provides that Cypress (i) shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or
in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress,
or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of Cypress) by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of
Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The Bylaws provide that the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of Cypress, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Article VI of Cypress's Bylaws also provides that Cypress (i) shall indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director or officer of Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of
Cypress as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of Cypress to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of
Cypress, or is or was serving at the request of Cypress as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Cypress except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to Cypress unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
Cypress's Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of Cypress has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of Cypress has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Cypress's Bylaws also permit Cypress to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director,
employee or agent of Cypress for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity,
regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit indemnification. Cypress currently maintains
liability insurance for its officers and directors.

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, as
amended; (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;
and (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 such information in the registration statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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, as amended, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (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, as amended) 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, as
amended, 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 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
