shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided that the
escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates if so
required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement
or, in the event that a loan from the Company, Parent or Related Company was
extended to the Purchaser with respect to the tax withholding attributable to
the Shares of Restricted Stock, until the applicable terms of such loan or
portion thereof or the applicable terms of any related pledge agreement have
been satisfied.

            (c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act
it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and
while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

            (d) Any purported transfer or sale of the Shares shall be subject

Attention:  Corporate Secretary

Dear [Employee Name]:

      As Escrow Agent for both ZiLOG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and [Employee Name] ("Purchaser") of the Company's common stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") you are hereby authorized and
directed to hold the documents delivered to you pursuant to the terms of that
certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and
Purchaser, dated May 15, 2002 (the "Agreement"), in accordance with the
following instructions:

1.    In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company (referred
      to collectively for convenience herein as the "Company") exercises the
      Company's Repurchase Right set forth in the Agreement (the "Repurchase
      Right"), the Company shall give to Purchaser and to you a written
      notice specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, the purchase
      price, and the time for a closing hereunder at the principal office of
      the Company. Purchaser and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and
      direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in
      accordance with the terms of said notice.

2.    At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the Assignment Separate
      From Certificate necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in
      the number of Shares being transferred, and (c) to deliver same,
      together with the certificate evidencing the Shares to be transferred,
      to the Company or its assignee, against the simultaneous delivery to
      you of the purchase price for the number of Shares purchased pursuant
      to the exercise of the Company's Repurchase Right.

3.    Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you
      any certificates evidencing the Shares to be held by you hereunder and
      any additions and substitutions to said Shares as set forth in the
      Agreement. Purchaser does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you
      as Purchaser's attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow
      to execute with respect to such Shares all documents necessary or
      appropriate to make such Shares negotiable and to complete any
      transaction herein contemplated, including but not limited to, the
      filing with any applicable state blue sky authority of any required
      applications for consent to, or notice of transfer of, the Shares.
      Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, Purchaser shall exercise
      all rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company while the
      stock is being held by you.

4.    Upon written request of the Purchaser, unless the Company's Repurchase

      or certificates representing the aggregate number of Shares that are

      pursuant to the Agreement and not purchased by the Company or its
      assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company's Repurchase Right.

      Purchaser, you shall deliver all of the same to Purchaser and shall be
      discharged of all further obligations hereunder.

7.    You shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are
      specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be protected in
      relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed
      by you to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
      party or parties. You shall not be personally liable for any act you
      may do or omit to do hereunder as Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact
      for Purchaser while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted
      by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys shall be conclusive
      evidence of such good faith.

8.    You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings
      given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or
      corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are
      hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments
      or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such
      order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to any of the
      parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of
      such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree
      being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or
      found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

9.    You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity,

      purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or
      papers deposited or called for hereunder.

      you may deem necessary and proper to advise you in connection with your
      obligations hereunder, may rely upon the advice of such counsel, and
      may pay such counsel reasonable compensation therefor.

12.   Your responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate if you
      shall cease to be an officer or agent of the Company or if you shall
      resign by written notice to each party. In the event of any such
      termination, the Company shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent.

13.   If you reasonably require other or further instruments in connection
      with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto,

      of said securities until such disputes shall have been settled either
      by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final
      order decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the
      time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you
      shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such
      proceedings.
