15.           TRANSFER OF CONTROL.

15.1         DEFINITIONS.

(A)           AN “OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT” SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE OCCURRED IF
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPANY:  (I) THE DIRECT OR
INDIRECT SALE OR EXCHANGE IN A SINGLE OR SERIES OF RELATED TRANSACTIONS BY THE
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY OF MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE VOTING STOCK
OF THE COMPANY; (II) A MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION IN WHICH THE COMPANY A PARTY;
(III) THE SALE, EXCHANGE, OR TRANSFER OF ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE ASSETS
OF THE COMPANY; OR (IV) A LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY.

(B)           A “TRANSFER OF CONTROL” SHALL MEAN AN OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT OR A
SERIES OF RELATED OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “TRANSACTION”)
WHEREIN THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE TRANSACTION DO
NOT RETAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRANSACTION, IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME
PROPORTIONS AS THEIR OWNERSHIP OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S VOTING STOCK
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE TRANSACTION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF
MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE TOTAL COMBINED VOTING POWER OF THE
OUTSTANDING VOTING STOCK OF THE COMPANY OR THE CORPORATION OR CORPORATIONS TO
WHICH THE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY WERE TRANSFERRED (THE “TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)”), AS THE CASE MAY BE.  FOR PURPOSES OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE,
INDIRECT BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AN INTEREST
RESULTING FROM OWNERSHIP OF THE VOTING STOCK OF ONE OR MORE CORPORATIONS WHICH,
AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSACTION, OWN THE COMPANY OR THE TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S), AS THE CASE MAY BE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH ONE OR MORE
SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS.  THE BOARD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER
MULTIPLE SALES OR EXCHANGES OF THE VOTING STOCK OF THE COMPANY OR MULTIPLE
OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENTS ARE RELATED, AND ITS DETERMINATION SHALL BE FINAL,
BINDING AND CONCLUSIVE.

15.2         EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF CONTROL ON PURCHASE RIGHTS.  IN THE EVENT OF
A TRANSFER OF CONTROL, THE SURVIVING, CONTINUING, SUCCESSOR, OR PURCHASING
CORPORATION OR PARENT CORPORATION THEREOF, AS THE CASE MAY BE (THE “ACQUIRING
CORPORATION”), MAY ASSUME THE COMPANY’S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PLAN OR
SUBSTITUTE SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT PURCHASE RIGHTS FOR STOCK OF THE ACQUIRING
CORPORATION.  IF THE ACQUIRING CORPORATION ELECTS NOT TO ASSUME OR SUBSTITUTE
FOR THE OUTSTANDING PURCHASE RIGHTS, THE BOARD MAY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, ADJUST THE PURCHASE
DATE OF THE THEN CURRENT PURCHASE PERIOD TO A DATE ON OR BEFORE THE DATE OF THE
TRANSFER OF CONTROL, BUT SHALL NOT ADJUST THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT
TO ANY PURCHASE RIGHT.  ALL PURCHASE RIGHTS WHICH ARE NEITHER ASSUMED OR
SUBSTITUTED FOR BY THE ACQUIRING CORPORATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSFER OF
CONTROL NOR EXERCISED AS OF THE DATE OF THE TRANSFER OF CONTROL SHALL TERMINATE
AND CEASE TO BE OUTSTANDING EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE OF THE TRANSFER OF
CONTROL.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF THE CORPORATION THE STOCK OF WHICH
IS SUBJECT TO THE OUTSTANDING PURCHASE RIGHTS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO AN OWNERSHIP
CHANGE EVENT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 15.1(A)(I) CONSTITUTING A TRANSFER OF CONTROL
IS THE SURVIVING OR CONTINUING CORPORATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER SUCH OWNERSHIP
CHANGE EVENT LESS THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE TOTAL COMBINED VOTING POWER OF
ITS VOTING STOCK IS HELD BY ANOTHER CORPORATION OR BY OTHER CORPORATIONS THAT
ARE MEMBERS OF AN AFFILIATED GROUP WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1504(A) OF THE
CODE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1504(B) OF THE CODE, THE
OUTSTANDING PURCHASE RIGHTS SHALL NOT TERMINATE UNLESS THE BOARD OTHERWISE
PROVIDES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

16.           NONTRANSFERABILITY OF PURCHASE RIGHTS.  A PURCHASE RIGHT MAY NOT
BE TRANSFERRED IN ANY MANNER OTHERWISE THAN BY WILL OR THE LAWS OF DESCENT AND
DISTRIBUTION AND SHALL BE EXERCISABLE DURING THE LIFETIME OF THE PARTICIPANT
ONLY BY THE PARTICIPANT.  THE COMPANY, IN ITS ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, MAY IMPOSE
SUCH RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SHARES PURCHASABLE UPON THE
EXERCISE OF A PURCHASE RIGHT AS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE AND ANY SUCH RESTRICTION
SHALL BE SET FORTH IN THE RESPECTIVE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND MAY BE REFERRED
TO ON THE CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING SUCH SHARES.

17.           REPORTS.  EACH PARTICIPANT WHO EXERCISED ALL OR PART OF HIS OR HER
PURCHASE RIGHT FOR A PURCHASE PERIOD SHALL RECEIVE, AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER
THE PURCHASE DATE OF SUCH PURCHASE PERIOD, A REPORT OF SUCH PARTICIPANT’S PLAN
ACCOUNT SETTING FORTH THE TOTAL PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS ACCUMULATED, THE NUMBER OF
SHARES OF STOCK PURCHASED, THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR SUCH SHARES, THE DATE OF
PURCHASE AND THE REMAINING CASH BALANCE TO BE REFUNDED OR RETAINED IN THE
PARTICIPANT’S PLAN ACCOUNT PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.2, IF ANY.  EACH PARTICIPANT
SHALL BE PROVIDED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY EQUIVALENT TO THAT
INFORMATION GENERALLY MADE AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCKHOLDERS.

18.           RESTRICTION ON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.  THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UNDER
THE PLAN SHALL BE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF
FOREIGN, FEDERAL OR STATE LAW WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES.  A PURCHASE RIGHT
MAY NOT BE EXERCISED IF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON SUCH EXERCISE WOULD
CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE FOREIGN, FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR OTHER LAW OR REGULATIONS.  IN ADDITION, NO PURCHASE RIGHT MAY BE
EXERCISED UNLESS (A) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, SHALL AT THE TIME OF EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT BE IN EFFECT
WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT, OR
(B) IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT MAY BE ISSUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN
APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.  THE
INABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO OBTAIN FROM ANY REGULATORY BODY HAVING JURISDICTION
THE AUTHORITY, IF ANY, DEEMED BY THE COMPANY’S LEGAL COUNSEL TO BE NECESSARY TO
THE LAWFUL ISSUANCE AND SALE OF ANY SHARES UNDER THE PLAN SHALL RELIEVE THE
COMPANY OF ANY LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF THE FAILURE TO ISSUE OR SELL SUCH SHARES
AS TO WHICH SUCH REQUISITE AUTHORITY SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.  AS A
CONDITION TO THE EXERCISE OF A PURCHASE RIGHT, THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THE
PARTICIPANT TO SATISFY ANY QUALIFICATIONS THAT MAY BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE,
TO EVIDENCE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION, AND TO MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY THE
COMPANY.

19.           LEGENDS.  THE COMPANY MAY AT ANY TIME PLACE LEGENDS OR OTHER
IDENTIFYING SYMBOLS REFERENCING ANY APPLICABLE FOREIGN, FEDERAL OR STATE
SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS OR ANY PROVISION CONVENIENT IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
THE PLAN ON SOME OR ALL OF THE CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES OF STOCK ISSUED
UNDER THE PLAN.  THE PARTICIPANT SHALL, AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMPANY, PROMPTLY
PRESENT TO THE COMPANY ANY AND ALL CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING SHARES ACQUIRED
PURSUANT TO A PURCHASE RIGHT IN THE POSSESSION OF THE PARTICIPANT IN ORDER TO
CARRY OUT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION.  UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY THE
COMPANY, LEGENDS PLACED ON SUCH CERTIFICATES MAY INCLUDE BUT SHALL NOT BE
LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:

                “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE
CORPORATION TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER AN EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN AS DEFINED IN
SECTION 423 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED.  THE TRANSFER
AGENT FOR THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY SHALL NOTIFY THE CORPORATION IMMEDIATELY
OF ANY TRANSFER OF THE SHARES BY THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF MADE ON OR BEFORE
              , 19  .  THE REGISTERED HOLDER SHALL HOLD ALL SHARES PURCHASED
UNDER THE PLAN IN THE REGISTERED HOLDER’S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY
NOMINEE) PRIOR TO THIS DATE.”

20.           NOTIFICATION OF SALE OF SHARES.  THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THE
PARTICIPANT TO GIVE THE COMPANY PROMPT NOTICE OF ANY DISPOSITION OF SHARES
ACQUIRED BY EXERCISE OF A PURCHASE RIGHT WITHIN TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF
GRANTING SUCH PURCHASE RIGHT OR ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF EXERCISE OF SUCH
PURCHASE RIGHT.  THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THAT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A PARTICIPANT
DISPOSES OF SHARES ACQUIRED UPON EXERCISE OF A PURCHASE RIGHT, THE PARTICIPANT
SHALL HOLD ALL SUCH SHARES IN THE PARTICIPANT’S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY
NOMINEE) UNTIL THE LAPSE OF THE TIME PERIODS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PURCHASE RIGHT
REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE.  THE COMPANY MAY DIRECT THAT THE
CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING SHARES ACQUIRED BY EXERCISE OF A PURCHASE RIGHT REFER TO
SUCH REQUIREMENT TO GIVE PROMPT NOTICE OF DISPOSITION.

21.           AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.  THE BOARD MAY AT ANY TIME
AMEND OR TERMINATE THE PLAN, EXCEPT THAT (A) SUCH TERMINATION SHALL NOT AFFECT
PURCHASE RIGHTS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE
PLAN, AND (B) NO AMENDMENT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT A PURCHASE RIGHT PREVIOUSLY
GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE PLAN OR AS MAY BE
NECESSARY TO QUALIFY THE PLAN AS AN EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN PURSUANT TO
SECTION 423 OF THE CODE OR TO OBTAIN QUALIFICATION OR REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES
OF STOCK UNDER APPLICABLE FOREIGN, FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS).  IN
ADDITION, AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN MUST BE APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THE ADOPTION OF SUCH AMENDMENT IF SUCH
AMENDMENT WOULD AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF MORE SHARES THAN ARE AUTHORIZED FOR
ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN OR WOULD CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF THE CORPORATIONS THAT
MAY BE DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD AS PARTICIPATING COMPANIES.

22.           CONTINUATION OF INITIAL PLAN AS TO OUTSTANDING PURCHASE RIGHTS. 
ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE PLAN TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, THE TERMS OF
THE INITIAL PLAN SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT AND APPLY TO ALL PURCHASE RIGHTS GRANTED
PURSUANT TO THE INITIAL PLAN.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company
certifies that the foregoing sets forth the Zoran Corporation Amended and
Restated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan as duly adopted by the Board of
Directors and amended and restated through June 4, 2003.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

o                                    Original Application for participation
commencing with the Offering Period beginning _________________________,
200     .

o                                    Change in Percentage of Payroll Deductions
effective with the pay period ending _________________________, 200     .

I hereby elect to participate in the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“Plan”) of Zoran Corporation (the “Company”) and subscribe to purchase shares of
the Company’s common stock as determined in accordance with the terms of the
Plan.

I hereby authorize payroll deductions in the amount of                   
percent (in 1% increments not to exceed 10%) of my “Compensation” (as defined in
the Plan) from each paycheck throughout the “Offering Period” (as defined in the
Plan) in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  I understand that these payroll
deductions will be accumulated for the purchase of shares of common stock of the
Company at the applicable purchase price determined in accordance with the
Plan.  I further understand that, except as otherwise set forth in the Plan,
shares will be purchased for me automatically on the last day of each Purchase
Period unless I withdraw from the Plan or from the Offering by giving written
notice to the Company or unless I terminate employment.

I further understand that I will automatically participate in each subsequent
Offering which commences immediately after the last day of an Offering in which
I am participating under the Plan until such time as I file with the Company a
notice of withdrawal from the Plan on such form as may be established from time
to time by the Company or I terminate employment.

Shares purchased for me under the Plan should be issued in the name set forth
below.  (I understand that shares may be issued either in my name alone or
together with my spouse as community property or in joint tenancy.)

NAME:

 

ADDRESS:

 

 

MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER:

 

 

I hereby authorize withholding from my compensation in order to satisfy the
foreign, federal, state and local tax withholding obligations, if any, which may
arise upon my purchase of shares under the Plan and/or upon my disposition of
shares I acquired under the Plan.  I hereby agree that until I dispose of the
shares, unless otherwise permitted by the Company, I will hold all shares I
acquire under the Plan in the name entered above (and not in the name of any
nominee) for at least two (2) years from the first day of the Offering Period in
which, and at least one (1) year from the Purchase Date on which, I acquired
such shares.  I further agree that I will promptly notify the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company in writing of any transfer of such shares prior to the
end of the periods referred to in the preceding sentence.

I am familiar with the provisions of the Plan and hereby agree to participate in
the Plan subject to all of the provisions thereof.  I understand that the Board
of Directors of the Company reserves the right to amend the Plan and my right to
purchase stock under the Plan as may be necessary to qualify the Plan as an
employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or to obtain qualification or registration of the
Company’s common stock to be issued out of the Plan under applicable foreign,
federal and state securities laws.  I understand that the effectiveness of this
subscription agreement is dependent upon my eligibility to participate in the
Plan.
