                                   DEFINITIONS

      "BUSINESS DAY" means any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
            that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New

            additional or extraneous items or information (i.e., a lengthy
            description of OmniVision or OmniVision's business, strategy or
            strengths).

      "REGISTER," "REGISTERED" and "REGISTRATION" refer to a registration
            effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar
            document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration

            the Holders in the Merger pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.5 of

            respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of the shares
            described in clause (i), excluding in all cases, however, any such
            shares sold pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement or if all
            such shares held by a Holder and its Affiliates are transferable in

            by OmniVision with the SEC pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided,

            registration statement to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.1
            hereof, then the Registration Statement means the Form S-1 or Form

                                  REGISTRATION

      2.1 OmniVision's Obligation. Subject to receipt of necessary information
in writing from the Holders, including without limitation, the Securityholder
Representation Agreements (including the Investor Suitability Questionnaire
attached as Annex A thereto) duly executed and properly completed, OmniVision
will prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable after the Effective
Time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Effective Time, the
Registration Statement to enable the resale of the Registrable Securities by the
Holders from time to time during the Registration Period (defined below) through
the automated quotation system of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other market,
quotation system or exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed) or in
privately negotiated transactions. OmniVision will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC
as soon as practicable after filing. Once the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, OmniVision will use commercially reasonable
efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
current and effective until the earliest to occur of (i) the second anniversary
of the Closing Date, provided that such period will be extended by the number of
days of any Deferral (defined below) or Suspension (defined below); (ii) the
date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold within any three-month
period under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act; and (iii) the date
on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration
Statement (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"). Thereafter, OmniVision shall be entitled
to withdraw the Registration Statement and the Holders will have no further
right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement. The parties understand and agree that the offer and sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement will not be
underwritten. Subject to the provisions in the

                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>

following sentence, OmniVision will not be obligated to effect, or to take any
action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 if (a) a
material event has occurred or may occur that has not been publicly disclosed
(provided that nothing herein requires the disclosure of such information to the
Holders) or (b) OmniVision determines in good faith that a registration could
materially interfere with any financing, acquisition, disposition, corporate
reorganization or other material transaction involving OmniVision or any of its
subsidiaries (taken as a whole). If any event in clause (a) or (b) occurs,
OmniVision will have the right to defer (a "DEFERRAL") taking such action for a
period of not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after written notice
of such Deferral is given to the Representative and the Holders. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, OmniVision shall only be entitled to a single Deferral of up to
one hundred and twenty (120) days under this Registration Rights Agreement
(unless the Representative otherwise consents in writing).

      2.2 Suspension. In the event:

            (a) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state
      governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the
      Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration
      Statement,

            (b) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state
      governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
      Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
      purpose,

            (c) of the receipt by OmniVision of any notification with respect to
      the suspension or the qualification or exemption from qualification of any
      of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
      initiation of any proceeding for such purpose,

            (d) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of
      any changes in the Registration Statement, or any document incorporated or
      deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of
      the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
      material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
      and that in the case of the prospectus included in the Registration
      Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
      any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
      circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

            (e) a good faith determination of OmniVision is made that continued
      use by the Holders of the Registration Statement for purposes of effecting
      offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto would require,
      under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in the Registration
      Statement of material, nonpublic information concerning OmniVision, its
      business or prospects or any proposed transaction involving OmniVision and
      that it is essential to suspend the use by the Holders of such
      Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of
      Registrable Securities thereto,

then OmniVision will deliver a certificate or notice in writing, which may
include an electronic transmission, to the Representative and the Holders (the
"SUSPENSION NOTICE") to the effect of the foregoing and, upon delivery of such
Suspension Notice, the Holders will stop selling any Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement (a "SUSPENSION") until the Holders'

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>

receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Registration Statement that has
been prepared and filed by OmniVision or until they are advised in writing,
which may include an electronic transmission, by OmniVision that the current
Registration Statement may be used. The receipt of any Suspension Notice by the
Holders and the Representative shall not be disclosed, and shall be kept in
strict confidence, by the Holders and the Representative. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Holders shall not be prohibited (unless the Representative
otherwise consents in writing) from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions under this Section 2.2 for
more than an aggregate of one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve-month
period.

      2.3 Other Shareholder/Company Piggyback. OmniVision may elect to include
shares of Common Stock for its own account or the account of any of its other
secuirtyholders in the Registration Statement.

      2.4 Restrictions on Holders. The Holders agree that they will not effect
any disposition of the Registrable Securities except as contemplated in the
Registration Statement or as otherwise permitted by law (and subject to any
other restrictions contained in agreements to which Holder is a party) and that
they will each promptly notify OmniVision in writing of any changes in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding each such Holder
or its plan of distribution. No Holder will have any right to obtain or seek any
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration hereunder as a
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Registration Rights Agreement. OmniVision is entitled to
instructs its transfer agent to impose "stop transfer instructions" with respect
to the Registrable Securities whenever the transfer of such Registrable
Securities is prohibited pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement or
applicable law.

      2.5 Expenses. All expenses incident to OmniVision's performance of or
compliance with the registration pursuant to ARTICLE II consisting of all
registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or
blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger expenses, telephone and delivery
expenses, and fees and disbursements of OmniVision counsel and of independent
certified public accountants of OmniVision, will be borne by OmniVision.
OmniVision will also pay its internal expenses and the fees and expenses of any
Person retained by OmniVision. In addition, OmniVision agrees to pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of up to $5,000 of one counsel (designated by
the Representative) to all Holders in connection with the filing of the
Registration Statement. Transfer taxes, if any, will be borne by each Holder in
proportion to the number of Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement by such Holder.

                                  ARTICLE III
                      OBLIGATIONS OF OMNIVISION AND HOLDERS

      3.1 OmniVision Actions. Whenever required to effect the registration of
any Registrable Securities under this Registration Rights Agreement, OmniVision
will, as expeditiously as commercially reasonable:

            (a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
      such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with
      such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
      provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
      securities covered by such registration statement;

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

            (b) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus,
      including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
      the Securities Act, and such other documents as they reasonably may
      request in writing in order to facilitate the disposition of the
      Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such
      registration;

            (c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify
      the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
      securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as will reasonably be
      requested by the Holders, provided that OmniVision will not be required in
      connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business,
      subject OmniVision to taxes, or to file a general consent to service of
      process in any such states or jurisdictions;

            (d) use all reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable
      Securities registered pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement to be
      listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which
      OmniVision's Common Stock is then listed;

            (e) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
      Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
      Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of
      such registration;

            (f) notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any
      time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
      the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the
      prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
      includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
      statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
      existing; and

            (g) advise each selling Holder and underwriters promptly (i) when
      the prospectus or any prospectus supplement relating to the registration
      statement filed on behalf of such selling Holders or post-effective
      amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such registration statement
      or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become
      effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the
      registration statement or amendments or supplements relating to the
      registration statement filed on behalf of such selling Holders to the
      prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, or (iii) of the
      issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
      of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any
      state securities commission of the qualification of the Registration
      Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of
      any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes.

      3.2 Holders Must Furnish Information. No Holder may include any of its
Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this
Registration Rights Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
OmniVision a timely duly executed and completed Securityholder Representation
Agreement (including any exhibits or attachments thereto). It will be a
condition precedent to the obligations of OmniVision to take any action pursuant
to ARTICLE II that the selling Holders will furnish to OmniVision such
information in writing regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by
them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as will be
required to timely effect the registration of their

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

Registrable Securities. OmniVision will permit a single firm of legal counsel
designated by the Representative to review the Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto on behalf of all of the Holders for a
reasonable period of time prior to its filing with the SEC; provided, that any
timing requirements imposed on OmniVision by this Registration Rights Agreement
with respect to the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall
be stayed pending such counsel's review. Each Holder hereby covenants with
OmniVision not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement without effectively causing the prospectus delivery
requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and further agrees to
comply with reasonable requests of OmniVision and/or its transfer agent to
provide additional information and representations concerning such sale.

      3.3 Financial Statements in the Ordinary Course. In connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities required pursuant to the provisions
hereof, unless required by the SEC, OmniVision will not be required to include
in the registration statement financial statements for any period other than a
period for which OmniVision regularly prepares financial statements in the
regular conduct of its business, or to furnish audited financial statements for
any period other than its regular fiscal year, or to furnish any such financial
statements (audited or unaudited) at any time other than the time when such
financial statements are made available by OmniVision in the regular conduct of
its business.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement
pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement:

      4.1 By OmniVision. To the extent permitted by law, OmniVision will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each of its directors, officers, and
other Affiliates (if any) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "VIOLATION"):

            (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
      fact contained in such registration statement, including any final
      prospectus contained therein, or any amendments or supplements thereto; or

            (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration
      statement, including any final prospectus contained therein, or any
      amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated
      therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

OmniVision will also reimburse each such Holder and each of its directors,
officers, and other Affiliates (if any) for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 will not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the written consent of OmniVision, which
consent will not be unreasonably

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

withheld, nor will OmniVision be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action (i) to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Holder, officer, director or controlling person of such
Holder or (ii) if the Registrable Securities in respect of which such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action is asserted has been delivered after sale
without being accompanied or preceded by a final prospectus.

      4.2 By Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify
and hold harmless OmniVision, each of its directors, officers, and each other
Affiliate of OmniVision and any other Holder selling securities under such
registration statement and any of such other Holder's Affiliates against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which OmniVision or
any such director, officer, controlling person or other such Holder, director,
officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out
of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the
extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection
with such registration. Each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by OmniVision or any such director, officer,
controlling person or other Holder, officer, director or controlling person of
such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 4.2 will not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld, provided, further that no such Holder will be
required to indemnify any amount under this Section 4.2 in excess of the public
offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such
Holder pursuant to such registration statement.

      4.3 Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
ARTICLE IV of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this ARTICLE IV, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party will have the right to participate in and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, that an indemnified party (together with
all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) will have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the opinion of
such indemnifying party's counsel, representation of such indemnified party by
the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing of interests between such indemnified party and
any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, will relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified
party under this ARTICLE IV, but the omission so to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under this ARTICLE IV.

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

      4.4 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (a) any
Holder exercising rights under this Registration Rights Agreement, or any
controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this ARTICLE IV but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this ARTICLE IV provides for indemnification in such case, or (b) contribution
under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder
or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this ARTICLE IV then, and in each such case, OmniVision and such
Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion
so that such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage
that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold
under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and OmniVision
and other selling Holders will be responsible for the remaining portion;
provided, however, that, in any such case, (i) no such Holder will be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such
registration statement and (ii) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                                   ARTICLE V
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

      5.1 Assignment. Except as provided in this Section 5.1, neither this
Registration Rights Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations
under this Registration Rights Agreement will be assigned, in whole or in part,
by operation of law or otherwise by any Holder without the prior written consent
of OmniVision. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Registration Rights
Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The rights to cause
OmniVision to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders under this
Registration Rights Agreement may be assigned by will or the laws of intestacy,
provided that such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with
applicable securities laws to the satisfaction of OmniVision and written notice
of the transfer is given to OmniVision of such transfer or assignment, stating
the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the
Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, and provided, further, that the transferee or assignee
of such rights agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Registration
Rights Agreement as if such transferee were a party hereto.

      5.2 Amendment. Unless otherwise provided for herein, any provision of this
Registration Rights Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only with the written consent of OmniVision and the Holders
holding Registrable Securities then outstanding representing a majority of all
of the Holders' Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 5.2 will be binding upon each Holder,
OmniVision and the Representative.

Exhibit 10.01

April 19, 2005

Darrel Slack

Dear Darrel:

Silicon Image, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to confirm our offer to you with us, in the
position of Chief Financial Officer. The terms of our offer and the benefits currently provided by
the Company are as follows:

	1.  	Your initial annual base salary will be $205,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices with such payroll deductions and withholdings as are required by law
and subject to adjustment by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), or a
committee of the Board. In addition, you will be eligible to participate in regular
health insurance, vacation, and other employee benefit plans established by the Company for
its employees from time to time. You will have overall responsibility for the financial
management of the Company and will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. You will
be expected to devote your full working time and attention to the business of the Company, and
you will not render services to any other business without the prior approval of the Board or,
directly or indirectly, engage or participate in any business that is competitive in any
manner with the business of the Company. You will also be expected to comply with and be
bound by the Company’s operating policies, procedures and practices that are from time to time
in effect during the term of your employment.
	 
	2.  	As an employee of the Company you will have access to certain Company confidential
information and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or
inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interest of the Company,
you will need to sign the Company’s standard “Employee Inventions and Confidentiality
Agreement” as a condition of your employment. We wish to impress upon you that we do not wish
you to bring any confidential or proprietary material of any former employer or to violate any
other obligations you may have to your former employer.
	 
	3.  	We will recommend that the Board approve a grant to you, contingent on you consummating
employment with the Company as Chief Financial Officer, of stock options for 200,000 shares of
the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the date that
you begin employment with the Company. Provided you continue to provide services to the
Company, the stock options will become vested and exercisable with
respect to 25% of the total shares granted on the 12 month anniversary date of your employment commencement date, and
thereafter on the same date of each succeeding month an additional 2.083% of the total shares
granted under the stock option will become vested and exercisable. However, the grant of
such stock options by the Company is subject to the Board’s approval and this promise to
recommend such approval is not a promise of compensation, and is not intended to create any
obligation on the part of the Company. Further details on the Company’s stock option plan and
on any specific stock option grant to you will be provided upon approval of such stock option
grant by the Board.
	 
	4.  	Upon termination of your employment with the Company 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 terminate pursuant to the Company’s then existing benefit plans and
policies 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 general release of claims agreement, as provided by the Company, must be
executed by you and delivered to the Company in order for you to receive any severance benefits.

	 	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 involuntary termination without Cause, you will be entitled to
(i) continue to receive your salary for six (6) months following termination, at the same
rate of your base salary at the time of termination, (ii) six (6) months acceleration on
the vesting of any options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that you hold
at the time of termination; (iii) any target bonus that you are eligible for at the time
of termination, prorated for the portion of the fiscal year that you were employed; and
(iv) payment by the Company of your COBRA insurance premiums, should you elect coverage,
for a period of the shorter of six (6) months following termination or until you become
employed at a new position (Items (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) being collectively defined
as “Severance Payments”); provided however, that in no event shall you receive
Severance Payments if you fail to execute and deliver to the Company, a general release
of claims, as provided to you by the Company. Severance Payments, if any, shall be made
less applicable deductions and withholdings and in accordance with the Company’s normal
payroll practices.
	 
	 	c)  	“Cause” means (i) any breach of this agreement, the Employee Inventions and
Confidentiality Agreement between you and the Company, or any other written agreement
between you and the Company, if such breach causes harm to the Company; (ii) any
negligence or willful misconduct by you in your performance of duties to the Company that
causes harm to the Company, including (without limitation) repeated failure to follow the
directions of the person to whom you report; (iii) your repeated failure to diligently
follow the lawful directions of the Board of Directors of the Company or your repeated
failure to diligently perform your duties in a reasonable manner pursuant to this
agreement; (iv) your commission of a felony under the laws of the United States or any
state thereof; (v) your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty or
breach of fiduciary duties; (vi) your abuse of alcohol or controlled substances that has
a detrimental effect upon your performance of your duties under this agreement; or (vii)
a good faith determination by the Company’s Board of Directors or the person to whom you
report that your performance is unsatisfactory. A termination without Cause shall mean a
termination for any reason other than those listed in clauses (i)-(vii) of the preceding
sentence or death or disability.

	5.  	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.
	 
	6.  	This agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to
conflict of laws provisions.
	 
	7.  	You 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.  	While we look forward to a long and profitable relationship, should you decide to accept our
offer, you will be 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.

	9.  	Please note that because of employer regulations adopted in the Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986, within three business days of starting your new position you will need to
present documentation demonstrating that you have authorization to work in the United States.
If you have questions about this requirement, which applies to U. S. citizens and non-U.S.
citizens alike, you may contact our Human Resource department.
	 
	10.  	Please sign the enclosed copy of this letter in the space indicated and return it to the
Human Resource department. Your signature will acknowledge that you have read and understood
and agreed to the terms and conditions of this offer and the attached documents. Should you
have anything else that you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to call.

     We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you to Silicon Image, Inc.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Sincerely,

 	 
	4/19/2005 	/s/ Steve Tirado 	 
	 	Steve Tirado
