(1)	As reported on Form 4/A dated March 29, 2011, the reporting person received a grant of 42,000 Restricted Stock Units ("RSU's") on March 10, 2011 pursuant to Cavium's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. 25% of the RSUs will vest annually on each of January 30, 2012, January 30, 2013, January 30, 2014 and January 30, 2015. On each vesting date, for each RSU vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Cavium's common stock at no cost. On January 30, 2015, the final 25% of these RSU's vested, resulting in the issuance of 10,500 shares of Cavium's common stock.

On each vesting date, for each RSU vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Cavium's common stock at no cost. On January 30, 2015, the third 25% of these RSU's vested, resulting in the issuance of 12,500 shares of Cavium's common stock.
(3)	Also include common stock underlying restricted stock units previously reported on Table 1 but not yet vested. These unvested shares were not previously reported in column 5 in prior Form 4 filings.
