4.     OTHER BUSINESS AFFILIATIONS.   In addition to Executive's obligations
under Section 8, Executive agrees that, without the approval of the Company,

Company's then existing severance and benefit plans and policies at the time
of Executive's termination.

       (c)    TERMINATION NOT FOR CAUSE   If the Company terminates
Executive's employment for any reason other than Cause, or Executive's
employment is terminated by Constructive Termination as defined in this
Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the severance benefits

7.     SEVERANCE BENEFITS.

       (a)    TERMINATION NOT FOR CAUSE.  Except as provided in Section 7(b),
if the Board of Directors terminates Executive's employment for any reason
other than Cause, or Executive's employment is terminated by Constructive
Termination as defined in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
receive the following severance benefits:

                     (1)    GUARANTEED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS.  Subject to Executive
       entering into a Release of Claims (in a form substantially similar to the
       form of release of claims attached as Exhibit A), Executive shall be
       entitled to receive severance payments for six  (6) months from the date
       of termination at Executive's then current base salary, which may be
       greater than, but will not be less than the Base Compensation (the
       "Guaranteed Severance Payment").  The Guaranteed Severance Payment will
       be paid to Executive in accordance with the Company's standard payroll
       practices.   Upon termination, Executive will also be entitled to receive
       a pro-

                                                                             3
<PAGE>

       rated portion of his then current targeted bonus for the fiscal year
       of his termination as described in Section 3(b) based on the date that
       Executive's employment is terminated.

                     (2)    MEDICAL BENEFITS. The Company, at the Company's sole
       expense, shall provide Executive  (and, if applicable, his eligible
       dependents) with the same level of health coverage and benefits as in
       effect for Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible dependents) on the
       day immediately preceding the day of the Executive's termination of
       employment (the "Company-Paid Coverage"); provided, however, that: (i)
       Executive and each eligible dependent constitutes a qualified
       beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue
       Code of 1986, as amended (collectively, "Qualified Beneficiaries"); (ii)
       each Qualified Beneficiary elects continuation coverage under the
       Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
       ("COBRA"), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA; and (iii)
       if the health coverage is no longer offered by the Company to its current
       employees, then the Company shall be under no obligation to continue the
       existing coverage for Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible
       dependents).  Such Company-Paid Coverage shall continue in effect for
       each Qualified Beneficiary until the earlier of (i) the Qualified
       Beneficiary is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage under
       COBRA, or (ii) thirty (30) months following termination of employment.

Except for those obligations in subsection (2)(ii) above, the Company's
obligations under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Section 7(a) shall terminate
upon Executive's breach of his agreements under Section 8 hereof.

       (b)    DISABILITY; DEATH.  If the Company terminates the Executive's
employment as a result of the Executive's Disability or if the Executive's
employment terminates due to the death of the Executive, then the Executive
shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits pursuant to this
Agreement, unless the Company has no benefit plan in place to account for
death or disability of employees, in which case Executive will be entitled to
receive the Guaranteed Severance Payment specified in Section 7(a)(1).
Executive shall remain eligible for those severance and other benefits (if
any) as may then be available under the Company's then existing severance and
benefits plans and policies at the time of Executive's termination or death.

        (c)   STOCK OPTIONS.  All of Executive's options not otherwise
forfeited under the terms of this Agreement will continue to vest during the
six month Severance Benefits Period.  Executive will forfeit options that
have not vested as of the end of the six month Severance Benefits Period.
Executive and the Company will negotiate a consulting agreement under which
Executive will provide advisory services to the Company's executive
management or board of directors during the 6 months after his termination.
If there is an inconsistency between this Agreement and the Company's stock
option plans or a stock option agreement, the terms of this Agreement will
prevail.

       (d)    INSIDER TRADING.  While Executive receives severance payments,
Executive will no longer be deemed a Section 16(b) officer, but agrees to be
considered an "insider" and comply with the Company's Insider Trading Policy,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company for matters related to
reduction of Executive's stock holding.

                                                                             4

8.     COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE AND NOT TO SOLICIT.

       (a)    While employed by the Company, Executive agrees that he shall
not, directly or indirectly, engage on his own behalf, or as owner, manager,
advisor, principal, agent, partner, employee consultant, director, officer,
stockholder or other proprietor owning more than a five percent (5%)
interest, in any firm, corporation, partnership or other organization which
is in the business of manufacturing, selling or distributing products in
competition with the products of the Company.  In case of any such ownership
or participation, Executive shall furnish a detailed statement thereof to the
Board of Directors of the Company, and, as from time to time requested by
said Board, resubmit for approval a detailed statement thereof, which
statement may be approved by said Board as not constituting such a violation
or conflict, and in the event said Board determines that such violation or
conflict exists, Executive shall immediately divest himself of such ownership
or participation (or of representing or promoting others engaged in any such
business).  It is intended and agreed that during the term of this Agreement,
Executive will not knowingly perform any act which may confer any competitive
benefit or advantage upon any enterprise competing with the Company or any
successor.

       (b)    Upon the termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company within the terms of Section 7(a) and for a period of eighteen (18)
months thereafter, Executive agrees that he shall not, on his own behalf, or
as owner, manager, advisor, principal, agent, partner, employee consultant,
director, officer, stockholder or other proprietor owning more than a five
percent (5%) interest of any business entity, or otherwise, in any territory
in which the Company is actively engaged in business: (i) open or operate any
business which is in competition with any business of the Company, (ii) act
as an employee, agent, advisor or consultant of any competitor of the
Company, (iii)  take any action to or do anything reasonably intended to
divert business from the Company or influence or attempt to influence any
existing customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or
to alter its business relationship with the Company, or (iv) take any action
or do anything reasonably intended to influence any suppliers of the Company
to cease doing business with the Company or to alter its business
relationship with the Company.  Executive further covenants and agrees that
he will not for himself or on behalf of any other person, partnership, firm,
association or corporation in any territory served by the Company, directly
or indirectly solicit or accept business from any of the Company's existing
customers for the purchase or sale of products or services of a like kind to
those sold or provided the Company. The foregoing covenant shall not be
deemed to prohibit Executive from acquiring an investment not more than one
percent (1%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is
traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation
system of a registered securities association.

       (c)    While employed by the Company and upon the termination of the
Executive's employment with the Company within the terms of Section 7(a) and
for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, Executive agrees that he
shall not either directly solicit, induce, attempt to hire, recruit,
encourage, take away, hire any employee of the Company or cause any employee
of the Company to leave his or her employment either for Executive or for any
other entity or person.

       (d)    Executive represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing
covenants not to compete and not to directly solicit, and (ii) is fully aware
of his obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these
covenants. Executive agrees that the provisions of this Section 8 contain
restrictions that are not greater than

                                                                             5

necessary to protect the interests of the Company.  In the event of the
breach or threatened breach by Executive of this Section 8, the Company, in
addition to all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, will be
entitled to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance to enforce
this Section 8.

       (e)    Company will respond within 14 days to any written request by
Executive to exclude a particular company or business entity from the scope
of this Section 8.  Company will not unreasonably deny such a request.  The
parties agree that a passive financial investment by Executive in a third
party will not constitute competition within the scope of this Section 8.

9.     DEFINITION OF CERTAIN TERMS.  The following terms referred to in this
Agreement shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this
Agreement only:

directors and employees (the "Parties Released"), for any action, loss,
expense or any damages arising from any occurrence from the beginning of time

     THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated January 18, 2000, between SILICON
VALLEY BANK ("Bank"), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara,
California 95054 and INSILICON CORPORATION ("Borrower"), whose address is 411
East Plumeria Drive, San Jose, California 95134 provides the terms on which
Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as
follows:

1.   ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

     Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed
following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP.
The term "financial statements" includes the notes and schedules. The terms
"including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document.

2.   LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1  CREDIT EXTENSIONS.

     Borrower will pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit
Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit
Extensions.

2.1.1  REVOLVING ADVANCES.

     (a)  Bank will make Advances not exceeding (i) the lesser of (A) the
Committed Revolving Line minus the Cash Management Services Sublimit or (B)
the Borrowing Base, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit), and minus (iii)
the FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and
reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

     (b)  To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or
telephone by 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be
made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank
the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to
Borrower's deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based
on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have
become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank
believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank
for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

     (c)  The Committed Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Maturity
Date, when all Advances are immediately payable.

2.1.2  FOREIGN EXCHANGE SUBLIMIT.

     If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line and the
Borrowing Base, then Borrower may enter in foreign exchange forward contracts
with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a
set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract
date (the "FX Forward Contract"). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding
FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is a maximum of
$5,000,000(the "FX Reserve"). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time
may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the
FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.

2.1.3  LETTERS OF CREDIT.

     Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrower's account
not exceeding (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving Line minus the Cash
Management Services Sublimit or the Borrowing Base minus (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the Advances (iii) minus the FX Reserve, but the face
amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed
Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed
$5,000,000. Each Letter of Credit will expire no later than 180

                                       4
<PAGE>

days after the Revolving Maturity Date provided Borrower's Letter of Credit
reimbursement obligation is secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at
any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is
not extended by Bank.

2.1.4  CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES SUBLIMIT.

     Borrower may use up to $5,000,000 for Bank's Cash Management Services,
which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business
credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management
services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management
Services"). All amounts Bank pays for any Cash Management Services will be
treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line.

2.2  OVERADVANCES.

     If Borrower's Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 exceed
the lesser of either (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus the Cash
Management Services Sublimit or (ii) the Borrowing Base, Borrower must
immediately pay Bank the excess.

2.3  INTEREST RATE, PAYMENTS.

     (a)  Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding
principal balance at a per annum rate of 0.25 percentage point above the
Prime Rate. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5
percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The
interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is
computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

     (b)  Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable
on the 17th of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower's deposit accounts
including Account Number 3300187000 for principal and interest payments owing
or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it
debits Borrower's accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received
after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of
business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not
a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees
or interest accrue.

2.4  FEES.

     Borrower will pay:

     (a)  Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable Facility Fee of
$18,750 due on the Closing Date; and

     (b)  Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this
Agreement, are payable when due.

duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's formation documents, nor

operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

<PAGE>

7.7  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

     Directly or indirectly enter or permit any material transaction with any

so.

8.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT

     Any one of the following is an Event of Default:

8.1  PAYMENT DEFAULT.

     If Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within 3 days after
their due date. During the additional period the failure to cure the default

cure period);

8.2  COVENANT DEFAULT.

     If Borrower does not perform any obligation in Section 6 or violates any
covenant in Section 7 or does not perform or observe any other material term,
condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any
agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default under a term,
condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within 10
days after it occurs, or if the default cannot be cured within 10 days or
cannot be cured after Borrower's attempts within 10 day period, and the
default may be cured within a reasonable time, then Borrower has an
additional period (of not more than 30 days) to attempt to cure the default.
During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not an Event

8.3  MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE.

     (i) If there occurs a material impairment in the perfection or priority
of the Bank's security interest in the Collateral or in the value of such
Collateral (other than normal depreciation) which is not covered by adequate

Section 6 during the next succeeding financial reporting period.

8.4  ATTACHMENT.

     If any material portion of Borrower's assets is attached, seized, levied

seizure or levy is not removed in 10 days, or if

<PAGE>

Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting

Lien on a material portion of Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien,
levy, or assessment is filed against any of Borrower's assets by any

period);

8.6  OTHER AGREEMENTS.

party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness
exceeding $100,000 or that could cause a Material Adverse Change;

9.   BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

     When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice
or demand, do any or all of the following:

     (a)  Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an
Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are
immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

     (b)  Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

     (c)  Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors
for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

     (d)  Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower will
assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank
designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and
maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase,
contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its
security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a
license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise
any of Bank's rights or remedies;

     (e)  Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower
it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower;

                                       11
<PAGE>

     (f)  Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare
for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral; and

     (g)  Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2  POWER OF ATTORNEY.

     Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower
irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower's
name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign
Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts
against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower's insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims
about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms
Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of
Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of
attorney to sign Borrower's name on any documents necessary to perfect or
continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an
Event of Default has occurred. Bank's appointment as Borrower's attorney in
fact, and all of Bank's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are
irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and
Bank's obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3  ACCOUNTS COLLECTION.

     When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any
Person owing Borrower money of Bank's security interest in the funds and
verify the amount of the Account. Borrower must collect all payments in trust
for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank
in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for
deposit.

9.4  BANK EXPENSES.

     If Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of
payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain
insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the
policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and
immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and
secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to
make similar payments in the future or Bank's waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5  BANK'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.

     If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of
the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b)
any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the
Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of
the Collateral.

9.6  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

     Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and
all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank's exercise of one right
or remedy is not an election, and Bank's waiver of any Event of Default is
not a continuing waiver. Bank's delay is not a waiver, election, or
acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only
effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7  DEMAND WAIVER.

     Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of

                                       12
<PAGE>

accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank
on which Borrower is liable.

related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by

all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have
run.

12.8  CONFIDENTIALITY.
