without a determination that there is Cause for such termination (Termination without
Cause); (d) Your employment will automatically terminate upon your death or upon your disability
as determined by the Board of Directors (Termination for Death or Disability);
provided that disability shall mean your complete inability to perform your job
responsibilities for a period of 180 consecutive days or 180 days in the aggregate in
any 12-month period; (e) Your employment may be a Termination in Connection with a Change in Control if
there is a Change in Control and either (i) you are employed by Silicon Image on the
date of the Change in Control and continue your employment after the Change in Control
to aid in an orderly transition, if Silicon Image so requests (provided that you shall
not be required to continue your employment for more than three (3) months after the
Change in Control in order to satisfy such obligation), or (ii) Silicon Image terminates
your employment other than for Cause, death or Disability after Silicon Image begins
negotiations with a third party that culminates in a Change of Control and not more than
150 days prior to the Change in Control (in which case, for the purpose of interpreting

Separation Benefits. Upon termination of your employment with Silicon Image for any
reason, you will receive payment for all unpaid salary and vacation accrued to the date
of your termination of employment; and your benefits will be continued under Silicon
Images then existing benefit plans and policies for so long as provided under the terms
of such plans and policies and as required by applicable law. Under certain
circumstances, you will also be entitled to receive severance benefits as set forth
below, but you will not be entitled to any other compensation, award or damages with
respect to your employment or termination. (a) In the event of your Voluntary Termination or Termination for Cause, you will not be
entitled to any cash severance benefits or additional vesting of shares of restricted
stock or options. (b) In the event of your Termination without Cause, you shall be entitled to severance
for six (6) months following your termination, at the rate of your Base Salary plus
target bonus for that year and in accordance with Silicon Images normal payroll
practices. (c) In the event of your Termination in Connection with a Change in Control, your stock
option grant number 000808 dated April 5, 2001 (Initial Stock Grant) shall have a
vesting rate of twice the vesting rate set forth in the grant, provided, that in no
event shall the minimum aggregate number of shares vested be less than at least
one-quarter (1/4) of the aggregate number of shares granted; and you shall be entitled
to severance for six (6) months following your termination, at the rate of your Base
Salary plus target bonus for that year and in accordance with Silicon Images normal
payroll practices.. For example, if immediately prior to a Change of Control, your
Initial Stock Grant would have otherwise vested as to forty percent (40%) of the shares,
then upon such Change in Control such Initial Stock Grant shall instead be vested as to
eighty percent (80%) of the shares. For example, if immediately prior to a Change of
Control, your Initial Stock Grant would have otherwise vested as to none of the shares
subject to the grants, then upon such Change in Control, such Initial Stock Grant shall
instead be vested as to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares. In addition, should
your employment continue following a Change in Control, all your stock options granted
prior to the Change in Control shall continue to vest at the vesting rate set forth in
the original grant. (d) If your severance and other benefits provided for in this Section 8 constitute
parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and, but for this
subsection, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code, then your severance and other benefits under this Section 8 will be
payable, at your election, either in full or in such lesser amount as would result,
after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999, in your receipt on an after-tax basis of the
greatest amount of severance and other benefits. (e) No payments due you hereunder shall be subject to mitigation or offset.In
consideration of and as a condition to receiving the severance set forth in this Section
4, concurrently with your termination of employment, you will execute an agreement in
form acceptable to the Company providing for a full unilateral release in favor of 3

the Company and its directors, officers and other related persons. However, you will not be
required to release any right to indemnification that you may have under applicable law,
the Companys bylaws or the Indemnity Agreement between you and the Company.  5.
    During the term of your employment with the Company and for one year thereafter, you
will not, on behalf of yourself or any third party, solicit or attempt to induce any
employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company.6.
    Should you decide to accept our offer, you will remain an at-will employee of the
Company, which means the employment relationship can be terminated by either of us for any
reason at any time. Any statements or representations to the contrary (and, indeed, any
statements contradicting any provision in this letter) should be regarded by you as
ineffective. Further, your participation in any stock option or benefit program is not to
be regarded as assuring you of continuing employment for any particular period of time.7.
    This letter agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements or understandings, inducements or conditions, express or
implied, written or oral, between the parties with respect to such subject matter,
including without limitation the letter agreement between you and the Company dated July
16, 1999. This agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without
reference to conflict of laws provisions. The parties agree that any dispute regarding the
interpretation or enforcement of this agreement shall be decided by confidential, final and
binding arbitration conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) under
the then existing JAMS rules rather than by litigation in court, trial by jury,
administrative proceeding or in any other forum.8.
    If you decide to accept our offer, and I hope you will, please sign the enclosed copy
of this letter agreement in the space indicated below and return it to me. Your signature
will acknowledge that you have read and understood and agreed to the terms and conditions
of this offer. Should you have anything else that you wish to discuss, please do not
hesitate to call me. We look forward to the opportunity to continue working together. Very truly yours, Silicon Image, Inc. By:
