                       HAYES MICROCOMPUTER PRODUCTS, INC.
                             VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT

          THIS VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT (the "Voting Trust") is made and
entered into this 16th day of April, 1996, by and among DENNIS C. HAYES, an
individual resident of Georgia ("Dennis C. Hayes"), HAYES MICROCOMPUTER
PRODUCTS, INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Corporation"), and G. DONALD

as "Trustee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

          WHEREAS,  Dennis C. Hayes owns voting stock in the Corporation; and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of that certain Shareholders' Agreement
dated April 16, 1996, by and between the Corporation, Dennis C. Hayes, Rinzai
Limited, ("Rinzai"), Kaifa Technology (H.K.) Limited, Rolling Profit Holdings
Limited, Saliendra Pte. Ltd., Lao Hotel (H.K.) Limited, and S.P. Quek
Investments Pte Ltd., (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof, the "Shareholders' Agreement,"), and the parties have agreed that
494,322 shares of the Corporation's stock owned by Dennis C. Hayes shall be held
in a nonvoting trust on the terms and conditions herein set forth; and

          WHEREAS, capitalized terms herein shall have the same meaning as
defined in the Shareholders' Agreement unless specified otherwise.

          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in hand paid, and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF SHARES BY DENNIS C. HAYES.  Upon the execution of this Voting 
   Trust, Dennis C. Hayes shall transfer and deposit with the Trustee 494,322
   shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes ten percent (10%) of the total
   number of shares of Common Stock "owned or controlled" (as such terms are
   defined in the Shareholders' Agreement) by him on the date hereof, by 
   delivering to the Trustee the certificates for such stock, duly endorsed in
   blank or accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and transfer thereof
   duly executed in blank, said shares to be held by the Voting Trust. All 
   shares of the Common Stock so transferred to the Trustee shall be registered 
   on the books and records of the Corporation as follows: "G. Donald Johnson as
   Trustee of the HAYES MICROCOMPUTER PRODUCTS, INC. VOTING TRUST under 
   agreement


<PAGE>   2



         dated April 16, 1996." If G. Donald Johnson or any subsequent Trustee
         ceases serving as Trustee herein, the shares of Common Stock held
         herein shall be so registered in the name of the applicable successor
         Trustee on behalf of the Voting Trust.

2.       VOTING TRUST CERTIFICATES. Upon the receipt by the Trustee of the
         certificates evidencing Dennis C. Hayes' Common Stock, the Trustee
         shall issue to Dennis C. Hayes a certificate evidencing his interest in
         the Voting Trust, said certificate to be in substantially the form set
         forth on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated
         herein (hereinafter referred to as the "Trust Certificate").

3.       VOTING BY TRUSTEE.  During the term of this Voting Trust, all shares 
         of Common Stock or any other interest in the Corporation with voting
         rights held in the Voting Trust (such Common Stock or other interests
         shall be referred to as the "Voting Interests") shall confer upon the
         Trustee the full and complete right to vote on all applicable matters
         of the Corporation for which such Voting Interests are entitled to
         vote; however, the Trustee shall not vote the Voting Interests and
         shall only abstain from voting on all such matters. Furthermore, the
         Trustee shall not grant a proxy to anyone for such vote during the term
         of this Voting Trust. It is expressly understood and agreed that no
         voting right shall pass to any person or entity other than the Trustee
         by or under the Trust Certificates or by or under this Voting Trust, or
         by or under any other agreement, express or implied, until the
         termination of the Voting Trust with respect to any Trust Property as
         defined below in Section 4.

4.       OTHER SHAREHOLDER ACTION.  Subject to the restriction on exercising 
         any and all rights to vote associated with any of the property held in 
         the Voting Trust (all such property held in the Voting Trust herein 
         shall be referred to as the "Trust Property"), the Trustee shall be 
         entitled to all of the rights and privileges conferred upon an owner 
         of the Trust Property ("Nonvoting Rights"). With respect to the 
         Nonvoting Rights, the Trustee shall act or fail to act with respect to 
         the specific Trust Property which was contributed by, issued or 
         delivered on behalf of the respective holders of the Trust 
         Certificates, in accordance with the written instructions by such 
         holder (or his/its successors or permitted assigns) to the Trustee. 
         However, the Trustee shall not be required to act or fail to act with
         respect to the Nonvoting Rights which the Trustee reasonably believes
         will expose the Trustee to damages, claims, investigations, charges 
         (civil or criminal), costs or will otherwise result in any harm to the 
         Trustee.  In the event the Trustee acts in accordance with such 
         instructions, then the holder of the Trust Certificate that provided 
         such instructions shall indemnify and hold the Trustee harmless against
         damages, losses and costs of any kind (including costs of investigation
         and attorneys fees) from any such action or omission by the Trustee. In
         the event the Trustee shall not receive such written instructions with
         respect to the exercise or failure to exercise Nonvoting Rights, the
         Trustee may act or not act with respect to the Nonvoting Rights and
         with respect to all other duties of the Trustee not specifically
         addressed hereunder, in accordance with the exercise of the Trustee's
         reasonable judgment. However, the Trustee shall assume no

                                        2


<PAGE>   3



         responsibility with respect to and shall not be liable for any action
         taken or any omission by him or his agents and no Trustee shall incur
         any responsibility by reason of any error of law or of any thing done
         or omitted unless such act or omission was (i) grossly negligent, or
         (ii) the result of willful misconduct. In the event the Trustee acts or
         fails to act with respect to Nonvoting Rights without instruction by
         the applicable holder of the Trust Certificate, and if the Trustee has
         acted or failed to act in accordance with the preceding two sentences,
         then the Holder of the applicable Trust Certificate shall indemnify and
         hold the Trustee harmless against damages, losses and costs of any kind
         (including costs of investigation and attorneys fees) from any such
         action or omission by the Trustee. No Trustee shall be required to post
         or give a bond or other security for the discharge of his or her
         duties. In the event the Trustee, in his capacity as Trustee of the
         Voting Trust, becomes party to, prosecutes, defends or intervenes in
         any legal action or proceeding pertaining to the Trust Property, then
         the holders of the Trust Certificates shall indemnify and hold the
         Trustee harmless against damages, losses and costs of any kind
         (including costs of investigation and attorneys fees) from any such
         action or proceeding so long as the Trustee's participation in such
         action or proceeding was in good faith and/or on the advice of counsel
         and was neither grossly negligent nor constituted willful misconduct.
         The Trustee shall not be an officer, director, shareholder, agent,
         consultant (other than legal counsel) or employee of the Corporation.

5.       DIVIDENDS.  Throughout the term of this Voting Trust, the Trustee 
         shall, within ten (10) days of the date received, distribute to the
         holders of the Trust Certificates ("Certificate Holders") all cash
         dividends received by the Trustee with respect to the interests of each
         such Certificate Holder in the Voting Trust. Such cash dividends shall
         be distributed to each such Certificate Holder in an amount equal to
         the amount the Certificate Holder would have received had such
         Certificate Holder been the record owner of the interests represented
         by the Trust Certificate. All stock dividends received by the Trustee
         with respect to the Trust Property (including any stock splits) shall
         be retained by the Trustee and all such stock shall be subject to the
         terms of this Voting Trust as fully as if originally deposited by the
         Shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Voting Trust; provided,
         however, that upon the receipt of a stock dividend or following a stock
         split, the Trustee shall issue to the Certificate Holders such
         additional Trust Certificates as may be necessary to reflect the change
         in the number of shares of stock being held by the Trustee.

6.       COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEE.  The Trustee shall  receive  reimbursement 
         for all expenses reasonably incurred in carrying out the provisions of 
         the Voting Trust and shall receive compensation for acting as Trustee
         hereunder in a reasonable amount if the Trustee is not an attorney at
         law and if the Trustee is an attorney at law, the Trustee shall receive
         as compensation the standard hourly rate charged by such attorney at
         law for all time expended herewith as Trustee. The Trustee may employ
         counsel (and the Trustee shall be entitled to employ on behalf of the
         Voting Trust attorneys at the law firm in which Trustee is a partner or
         is employed) and such reasonable professional and other assistance as
         may be convenient for the fulfillment of the purposes of the Voting
         Trust. The cost

                                        3


<PAGE>   4



         of such compensation, expense reimbursement, counsel or other
         assistance shall be borne by the Corporation.

7.       SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. In the event of the removal, death or resignation of
         the Trustee, or the continued failure of the Trustee to act as Trustee,
         the Certificate Holders shall select a successor Trustee by unanimous
         vote. The Certificate Holders may by unanimous vote remove a Trustee.

8.       TRANSFERS AND RECORD OWNERSHIP.  Subject to the restrictions on 
         transfer of shares set forth in the Shareholders' Agreement, which
         restrictions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Trust Certificates,
         the Trust Certificates shall be transferable at the office of the
         Trustee by the registered holder thereof either in person or by
         attorney duly authorized. Upon surrender thereof, according to such
         rules as the Trustee may from time to time establish, and until so
         transferred, the Trustee may treat the registered holder as the owner
         thereof for all purposes whatsoever. Every transferee of a Trust
         Certificate hereunder shall upon acceptance thereof become a party to
         this Voting Trust with the same force and effect as if such transferee
         had signed this Voting Trust and shall be included with the meaning of
         the term "Dennis C. Hayes" whenever used herein. The Trustee may, in
         its sole discretion, appoint a registrar for the Trust Certificates and
         may provide that Trust Certificates shall not be valid unless
         registered and countersigned by such registrar.

9.       TERM. This Voting Trust shall continue for a period of ten (10) years
         from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
         following and if terminated, the Trust Property pertaining to the
         applicable Certificate Holder shall be released from the Voting Trust
         and promptly delivered to such Certificate Holder, along with such
         other documents as may be necessary to transfer the ownership of the
         Trust Property into the name of the Certificate Holder, in exchange for
         such Trust Certificate:

                  (a)      Upon the first to occur of the following:

                           (i)      The total voting capital stock owned or

                                    effect to such termination, constitutes less
                                    than forty five percent (45%) of the total
                                    voting capital stock of the Corporation;

                           (ii)     At the time of the closing of an Initial 
                                    Public Offering;

                           (iii)    at the time of the share exchange pursuant
                                    to a merger of the Corporation (where the
                                    Corporation is not the survivor);

                           (iv)     upon the sale of the Corporation by the sale
                                    of substantially all of its assets or any
                                    other method of such sale;

                      (v)      upon the complete liquidation of the Corporation;
                               or

                      (vi)     upon Rinzai or its Permitted Transferees (as such
                               term is defined in the Shareholders' Agreement) 
                               ceasing to be a shareholder with Voting Rights in

10.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                               are used for administrative purposes only and do 
                               not constitute substantive matters to be 
                               considered in construing the terms of this Voting
                               Trust.

                               unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, 
                               illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect 
                               any other provision thereof and this Voting Trust
                               shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
                               unenforceable provision had never been contained 
                               herein.

                      (e)      Other Instruments. The parties agree that they 
                               will execute such other and further instruments 
                               and documents as are or may become necessary or
