provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to extend and
limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section
of the Code.

absence approved by the Company. Where the period of leave exceeds 90 days and
the individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by

the date of determination, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or such other
source as the Board deems reliable;

                     (ii)   If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a
recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair
Market Value shall be the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for the
Common Stock on the date of determination, as reported in THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL or such other source as the Board deems reliable;

                     (iii)  In the absence of an established market for the
Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by
the Board; or

                     (iv)   For purposes of the Enrollment Date of the first
Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value shall be the initial price

this Plan.

a share of Common Stock on the Enrollment Date or on the Exercise Date,
whichever is lower; provided however, that the Purchase Price may be adjusted by

       3.     ELIGIBILITY.

              (a)    Any Employee who shall be employed by the Company on a
given Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

              (b)    Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding,
no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that,
immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock
would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code)
would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to
purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of
any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock
under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its subsidiaries
accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of
stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time such option
is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any
time.

       4.     OFFERING PERIODS. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive,
overlapping Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first
Trading Day on or after January 1 and July 1 each year, or on such other date as
the Board shall determine, and continuing thereafter until terminated in
accordance with Section 20 hereof; provided, however, that the first Offering
Period under the Plan shall commence with the first Trading Day on or after the
date on which the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Company's
Registration Statement effective and ending on the first Trading Day on or after
June 30, 2002. The Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering
Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future
offerings without shareholder approval if such change is announced at least five
(5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be
affected thereafter.

       5.     PARTICIPATION.

              (a)    An eligible Employee may become a participant in the
Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in
the form of EXHIBIT A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll
office prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.

              (b)    Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on
the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last
payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable,
unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

       6.     PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.

              (a)    At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10% of the Compensation
which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period; provided,
however, that should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a participant shall
have the payroll deductions made on such day applied to his or her account under
the new Offering Period or Purchase Period, as the case may be.

              (b)    All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.

              (c)    A participant may discontinue his or her participation in
the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate
of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or
filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in
payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the nature
and/or number of participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The
change in rate shall be effective with the first full payroll period following
five (5) business days after the Company's receipt of the new subscription
agreement unless the Company elects to process a given change in participation
more quickly. A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in effect for
successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

              (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a
participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any
time during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

              (e)    At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part,
or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan
is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.

       7.     GRANT OF OPTION. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period,
each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an
option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the
applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall
an Employee be permitted to purchase during any calendar year more than 2,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 19), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. The Board may, for
future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the
maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock an Employee may purchase
during each Purchase Period of such Offering Period. Exercise of the option
shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has
withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The option shall expire on the last day
of the Offering Period.

       8.     EXERCISE OF OPTION.

              (a)    Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in
Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full
shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her
account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions
accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a
full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the subsequent
Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the
participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a
participant's account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the
participant. During a participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase
shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

              (b)    If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the
number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the
Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the
number of shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the
Board may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a pro
rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such
Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide
that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for
purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform
a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase
Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods
then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata
allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable
Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any
authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company's
shareholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.

       9.     DELIVERY. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on
which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to
each participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares
purchased upon exercise of his or her option.

       10.    WITHDRAWAL.

              (a)    A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise
his or her option under the Plan at any

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

time by giving written notice to the Company in the form of EXHIBIT B to this
Plan. All of the participant's payroll deductions credited to his or her account
shall be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal
and such participant's option for the Offering Period shall be automatically
terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares shall
be made for such Offering Period. If a participant withdraws from an Offering
Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding
Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new
subscription agreement.

              (b)    A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall
not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar
plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering
Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which
the participant withdraws.

       11.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon a participant's ceasing to be an
Employee, for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw
from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such participant's account
during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option shall be
returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person
or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof, and such participant's
option shall be automatically terminated. The preceding sentence
notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu of notice of
termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be an Employee for
the participant's customary number of hours per week of employment during the
period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu of notice.

       12.    INTEREST. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
participant in the Plan.

       13.    STOCK.

              (a)    Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan
shall be 500,000 shares.

              (b)    The participant shall have no interest or voting right in
shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

              (c)    Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan
shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.

       14.    ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

       15.    DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

              (a)    A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from
the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's
death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the
designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for
such designation to be effective.

              (b)    Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to
the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

       16.    TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

       17.    USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and
the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

       18.    REPORTS. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

       19.    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.

              (a)    CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action
by the shareholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares
each participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 7), as
well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
"effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided
herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

              (b)    DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"), and
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution or
liquidation. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten
(10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period
as provided in Section 10 hereof.

              (c)    MERGER OR ASSET SALE. In the event of a proposed sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, any
Purchase Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise
Date (the "New Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall
end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of
the Company's proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant
in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that
the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New
Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically
on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has
withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

       20.    AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.

              (a)    The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and
for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19
hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that
an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise
Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the
Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as
provided in Section 19 and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any
change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of
any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or
stock exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a
manner and to such a degree as required.

              (b)    Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether
any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's
processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable
waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to
ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each
participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant's
Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board
(or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which are
consistent with the Plan.

              (c)    In the event the Board determines that the ongoing
operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting
consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or
desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting
consequence including, but not limited to:

                     (i)    altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period
including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase
Price;

                     (ii)   shortening any Offering Period so that Offering
Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the
time of the Board action; and

                     (iii)  allocating shares.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the
consent of any Plan participants.

       21.    NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a participant to
the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been
duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

       22.    CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance
and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

              As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may
require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time
of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

       23.    TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.

       24.    AUTOMATIC TRANSFER TO LOW PRICE OFFERING PERIOD. To the extent
permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules if the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock

                                      -9-

                        2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

_____ Original Application                          Enrollment Date:___________
_____ Change in Payroll Deduction Rate
_____ Change of Beneficiary(ies)

1.     ____________________ hereby elects to participate in the Tripath
       Technology Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock
       Purchase Plan") and subscribes to purchase shares of the Company's Common
       Stock in accordance with this Subscription Agreement and the Employee
       Stock Purchase Plan.

2.     I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of
       ____% of my Compensation on each payday (from 0 to [__]%) during the
       Offering Period in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
       (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.     I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
       purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
       determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
       understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
       accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my
       option.

4.     I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
       understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is
       in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan. I understand that my
       ability to exercise the option under this Subscription Agreement is
       subject to shareholder approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

5.     Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should be
       issued in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and Spouse only).

6.     I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to
       the Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of the
       Offering Period during which I purchased such shares) or one year after
       the Exercise Date, I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as
       having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an
       amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the
       time such shares were purchased by me over the price which I paid for the
       shares. I HEREBY AGREE TO NOTIFY THE COMPANY IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS
       AFTER THE DATE OF ANY DISPOSITION OF MY SHARES AND I WILL MAKE ADEQUATE
       PROVISION FOR FEDERAL, STATE OR OTHER TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS, IF
       ANY, WHICH ARISE UPON THE

<PAGE>

       DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON STOCK. The Company may, but will not be
       obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount necessary to meet
       any applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary
       to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits
       attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by me. If I
       dispose of such shares at any time after the expiration of the 2-year and
       1-year holding periods, I understand that I will be treated for federal
       income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such
       disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only
       to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the
       fair market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the
       purchase price which I paid for the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market
       value of the shares on the first day of the Offering Period. The
       remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be
       taxed as capital gain.

7.     I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
       Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon
       my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

8.     In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
       beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
       Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

                           SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Agreement (the
"Agreement") is made as of this 15th day of September, 1998 by and among Tripath
Technology Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), the purchasers of
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Purchasers") and Series B Preferred
Stock (the "Series B Purchasers") of the Company pursuant to that certain Series
A and Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 1995 (the
"Series A and Series B Agreement") between the Company and such purchasers, the
purchasers of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C Purchasers") pursuant
to that certain Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 20,
1997 (the "Series C Agreement") between the Company and such purchasers, the
purchasers of the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Purchasers") pursuant
to that certain Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated of even date
herewith (the "Series D Agreement") between the Company and such purchasers (the
Series A Purchasers, the Series B Purchasers, the Series C Purchasers and the
Series D Purchasers being collectively referred to herein as the "Purchasers")
and Adya S. Tripathi (the "Founder").

                                    RECITALS

     A.   Pursuant to the Series A and Series B Agreement, the Series A

and Restated Shareholder Rights Agreement dated August 20, 1997 (the "Prior
Shareholder Agreement") setting forth their agreement and understandings with
respect to certain rights and privileges accompanying the shares of the Series A
Preferred, the Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred.

     B.   The Series A Purchasers, the Series B Purchasers, the Series C
Purchasers, the Founder and the Company desire to amend and restate the Prior
Shareholder Agreement to include the Series D Purchasers as parties.

<PAGE>

     4.   NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFERS. The Holder of each certificate
representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all
respects with the provisions of this Section 4. Prior to any proposed transfer
of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the Holder thereof
shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder's intention to effect
such transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of
the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall, if the Company so
requests, be accompanied (except in transactions in compliance with Rule 144) by
either (i) an unqualified written opinion of legal counsel who shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company and reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that
the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "No Action" letter from the
Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the Holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the
Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no opinion or No Action letter need be obtained
with respect to a transfer to (A) a partner, active or retired, of a Holder of
Restricted Securities, (B) the estate of any such partner, (C) an "affiliate" of
a Holder of Restricted Securities as that term is defined in Rule 405
promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act, (D) to any officer,
director, principal shareholder, parent or subsidiary thereof, or non-profit
organization related thereto, where such Holder is a corporation or (E) the
spouse, children, grandchildren or spouse of such children or grandchildren of
any Holder or to trusts for the benefit of any Holder or such persons, if the
transferee agrees to be subject to the terms hereof. Each certificate evidencing
the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the
appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3 above, except that such
certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel
for the Company or in the written opinion of counsel retained by a Holder at
such Holder's expense and reasonably satisfactory to the Company such legend is
not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the
Securities Act.

     5.   REQUESTED REGISTRATION.

          (a)  REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION. If at any time after the earlier of (i)
August 20, 2000, or (ii) 180 days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company covering the underwritten offering
of any of its securities to the general public, the Company shall receive from
any Holder or group of Holders holding at least 33-1/3% of the Demand
Registrable Securities a written request that the Company effect any
registration, qualification or compliance with respect to at least 25% of the
Demand Registrable Securities, or such lesser number of shares of Demand
Registrable Securities if the reasonably anticipated aggregate proceeds of such
offering (after deduction for Selling Expenses) exceed $7,500,000, the Company
will:

          (x)  promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          (y)  as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect such
registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, the
execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or
such portion of such Demand Registrable Securities as are specified in such
request, together with all or such portion of the Demand Registrable Securities
of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written
request received by the Company within 20 days after receipt of such written
notice from the Company;

     Provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any
action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
this Section 5:

               (A)  In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act;

               (B)  After the Company has effected two such registrations
pursuant to this Section 5(a), such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective and the securities offered pursuant to such registration have been
sold; or

               (C)  Within six months following the effective date of the
initial registration statement previously filed by the Company.

     Subject to the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Demand Registrable Securities so requested
to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests
of any Holder or Holders. If, however, the Company shall furnish to the Holder
or Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 5 a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the
Holder or Holders requesting such registration; provided, however, that the
Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period.

          (b)  UNDERWRITING. If the Holders intend to distribute the Demand
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
Section 5(a) and the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in Section 5(a)(x). The right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to Section 5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Demand Registrable
Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

by a majority in interest of the Holders) to the extent provided herein. A
Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or part of the Demand
Registrable Securities he holds.

     The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by a
majority in interest of the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5, if the managing underwriter advises the Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then, subject to the provisions of Section 5(a), the Company shall
so advise all Holders and the number of shares of Demand Registrable Securities
and other securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among all Holders requesting inclusion in the registration in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Demand
Registrable Securities and other securities held by such Holders at the time of
filing the registration statement, provided however, that the number of shares
of Restricted Securities to be included in such Underwriting shall not be
reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the
Underwriting. No Demand Registrable Securities and other securities excluded
from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing
limitation shall be included in such registration.

     If any Holder of Demand Registrable Securities and other securities
disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the
other Holders. The Demand Registrable Securities and/or other securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration; provided, however, that if
by the withdrawal of such Demand Registrable Securities a greater number of
Demand Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such
registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters),
then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Demand Registrable
Securities in the registration the right to include additional Demand
Registrable Securities in the same proportion used in determining the
underwriter limitation in this Section 5(b). If the registration does not become
effective due to the withdrawal of Demand Registrable Securities, then either
(1) the Holders requesting registration shall reimburse the Company for expenses
incurred in complying with the request or (2) the aborted registration shall be
treated as effected for purposes of Section 5(a)(B) except in the event that
such withdrawal is based upon material adverse information relating to the
Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request
from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the
time of their request for registration under Section 5, in which event such
registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of
Section 5(a)(B) hereof, even though the Holders do not bear the Registration
Expenses for such registration.

     6.   COMPANY REGISTRATION.

          (a)  NOTICE OF REGISTRATION. If the Company shall determine to
register any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a
security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration
rights, including the Company's initial public offering but excluding a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, the Company will:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

               (i)  promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and

               (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or
requests, made within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company, by any Holder or Holders, PROVIDED THAT the Company may limit, to the
extent so advised by the underwriters, the amount of Registrable Securities to
be included in the registration by the Holders, by (1) up to 100% of the
Registrable Securities sought to be included in the case of the initial public
offering and (2) up to 80% of the Registrable Securities sought to be included
in the case of any subsequent public offering; and PROVIDED FURTHER that if
Registrable Securities are excluded entirely or partially from the registration,
no securities other than the securities being registered by the Company may be
included in the registration.

          (b)  In all registered public offerings, whether underwritten or not,
the amount of Registrable Securities of Holders which are included in such
registration, in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 6(a)(ii)
above, shall be allocated to the Holders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which would be
held by each of such Holders assuming conversion of all outstanding Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred as of
the date of the notice given pursuant to this Section 6.

     7.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with up to two registrations pursuant to Section 5(a) and any
registration pursuant to Section 6 shall be borne by the Company. Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 9
shall be borne by the Company and the Holders of the Registrable Securities
being so registered pro rata. All Selling Expenses relating to securities
registered by the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel to the Holders in
connection with each registration hereunder, up to a maximum of $20,000.

     8.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of
each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion
thereof. At its expense the Company will:

          (a)  Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement, and with the applicable state entity an appropriate
qualification or compliance application, and any necessary amendments or
supplements thereto, with respect to such Registrable Securities and to cause
such registration statement, qualifications or compliance application to become
effective;

          (b)  Keep such registration, qualification or compliance effective for
a period of 120 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the
distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever
first occurs; provided, however, that such 120-day period shall be extended for
a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any
securities included

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company;

          (c)  Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident
thereto as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

          (d)  In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement.

          (e)  Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the 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.

          (f)  Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system
on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

          (g)  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.

     9.   REGISTRATION ON FORM S-3. In addition to the rights set forth in
Section 5 and Section 6, if a Holder or Holders holding at least 25% of the
Registrable Securities request that the Company file a registration statement on
Form S-3 (or any successor thereto) for a public offering of shares of
Registrable Securities the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public
of which would exceed $1,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to
use Form S-3 to register securities for such an offering, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause such shares to be registered for the offering on such
form (or any successor thereto). A Holder or group of Holders is entitled to an
unlimited number of Form S-3 registrations; provided, however, that the Company
shall be required to file no more than one (1) such registration statement
during any 12-month period.

     10.  TERMINATION AND MODIFICATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          (a)  The registration rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
terminate (i) as to all Holders on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the
Company's initial public offering and (ii) as to any Holder, at such time after
the Company's initial public offering as the Holder would be able to sell all of
the Registrable Securities held by such Holder under Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act in any three-month period.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

          (b)  From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of
the Demand Registrable Securities then held by Holders, enter into any agreement
with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which
would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any
registration filed under Sections 5, 6 or 9 hereof other than rights subordinate
to the rights of the Holders hereunder.

     11.  LOCKUP AGREEMENT. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its
obligations under this Agreement each Holder of Registrable Securities and each
transferee pursuant to Section 15 hereof agrees, in connection with the first
registration of the Company's securities, upon request of the Company and the
underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not
to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or
otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those included in
the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company and such
underwriters, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the
effective date of such registration as the Company and the underwriters may
specify; provided, that each other Holder and officer and director of the
Company is bound by and has entered a similar agreement; and provided, further,
that such obligations shall not apply to any registration of shares of capital
stock for any employee benefit plan on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or any successor
form or to any registration relating to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on
Form S-4 or any successor form. Each Holder agrees that the Company may instruct
its transfer agent to place stop transfer notations in its records to enforce
the provisions of this Section 11.

     12.  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers,
directors and partners and such Holder's legal counsel and independent
accountants, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any
of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, arising out of or
based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and
relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any
such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such
Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners and such Holder's legal
counsel and independent accountants, and each person controlling such Holder,
each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or underwriter and stated
to be specifically for use therein.

          (b)  Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder
are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and
officers and its legal counsel and independent accountants, each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its
officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages
and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, legal counsel, independent accountants, underwriters or control
persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is
made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be
specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such
Holders hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds
before expenses and commissions to each such Holder of Registrable Securities
sold as contemplated herein.

          (c)  Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 12 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the
extent, that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against such claim or
litigation is impaired as a result of such failure to give notice. No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein,
then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified
Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     13.  INFORMATION BY HOLDER. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities
included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such Holder or
Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be
reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance referred to in this Agreement.

     14.  RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the
sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such
time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company
agrees to:

          (a)  Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after
the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by
the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

          (b)  Use its best efforts to then file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);

          (c)  Furnish to Holders of Registrable Securities forthwith upon
request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an
offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (at any time after it has become subject to
such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as a
Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request in availing itself of
any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such
securities without registration.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     15.  TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The right to cause the Company to
register securities granted the Purchasers and the Founder hereunder may be
assigned to (A) a transferee or assignee who acquires at least 200,000 shares of
Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred
or Common Stock held by the Founder or issued on conversion of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred or a
combination of such Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred
or Series D Preferred and Common Stock (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock

given written notice of such assignment prior to such assignment, or (B) the
transferee of all of the Purchaser's such shares of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred (or Common Stock issued on
conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or
Series D Preferred), if a Purchaser holds less than 200,000 shares of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred (or
Common Stock issued on conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred) provided that the Company is given
written notice of such assignment prior to such assignment and that the
transferee be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In addition, rights to cause
the Company to register securities may be freely assigned (a) to a partner,
active or retired, of a Purchaser, (b) to any affiliate (as that term is defined
in Rule 405 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act), or (c) to
the parents, spouse, children, grandchildren or spouse of such children or
grandchildren of any Purchaser or the Founder or to trusts for the benefit of
any Purchaser, the Founder or such persons.

     16.  COMPANY COVENANTS. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

          16.1 ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company will
furnish the following reports to each Purchaser for so long as such Purchaser is

Preferred):

               (a)  As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year,

the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and setting
forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year,
all in reasonable detail and audited and certified by independent public
accountants of national standing selected by the Company.

               (b)  As soon as practicable after the end of the first, second
and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company and in
any event within 45 days thereafter, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such quarterly
period, and unaudited consolidated statements of income and unaudited
consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for
such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and setting forth
in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods of
the

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and signed, subject to changes
resulting from year-end audit adjustments, by the principal financial or
accounting officer of the Company.

          16.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The rights to
receive information pursuant to Section 16.1 may be assigned or otherwise
conveyed by any Purchaser or subsequent transferee to any transferee of shares
of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D
Preferred (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof).

          16.3 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AGREEMENT. The Company will require each
person employed by the Company, whether at present or in the future, to execute
a Proprietary Information Agreement in a form approved by the Company's Board of
Directors as a condition of such employment.

          16.4 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. Each Purchaser and any successor or
assign of such Purchaser, who receives from the Company or its agents, directly
or indirectly, any information which the Company has not made generally
available to the public, pursuant to the preparation and execution of this
Agreement or disclosure in connection therewith or pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 16, acknowledges and agrees that such information is confidential
and for its use only in connection with evaluating its investment in the
Company, and further agrees that it will not disseminate such information to any
person other than its accountant, investment advisor or attorney and that such
dissemination shall be only for purposes of evaluating its investment.

          16.5 TERMINATION OF COVENANTS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, the covenants set forth in this Section 16 (except
for those set forth in Section 16.4 which shall survive) shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect after the date upon which the first registration
statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with an
underwritten public offering of its securities first becomes effective.

     17.  RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER. The Company hereby grants to each Series A
Purchaser, Series B Purchaser, Series C Purchaser and Series D Purchaser (an
"Eligible Purchaser") the right of first offer to purchase, pro rata, all (or
any part) of "New Securities" (as defined in this Section 17) that the Company
may, from time to time propose to sell and issue. Such pro rata share, for
purposes of this right of first offer, is the ratio of (X) the number of shares
of Common Stock then owned by such Series A Purchaser, Series B Purchaser,
Series C Purchaser or Series D Purchaser or issuable upon the conversion of the
Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred then owned by such Series A Purchaser, Series B Purchaser, Series C
Purchaser or Series D Purchaser (including shares issuable upon exercise of
options or warrants held by such Series A Purchaser, Series B Purchaser, Series
C Purchaser or Series D Purchaser), to (Y) the total number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding
convertible securities (including the Preferred Stock) and the exercise of all
outstanding options. This right of first offer shall be subject to the following
provisions:

          (a)  "NEW SECURITIES" shall mean any Common Stock and Preferred Stock
of the Company whether or not authorized on the date hereof, and rights,
options, or warrants to purchase

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Common Stock or Preferred Stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are,
or may become, convertible into Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that "New Securities" does not include the following:

                     (i)    shares of Common Stock, or options to purchase
shares of Common Stock, issued or granted to officers, directors and employees
of, or consultants to, the Company pursuant to a stock grant, employee
restricted stock purchase agreement, option plan or purchase plan or other stock
incentive program or issuance approved by the Board of Directors;

                     (ii)   shares of Series D Preferred being issued or which
may become issuable pursuant to the Series D Agreement;

                     (iii)  shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D
Preferred;

                     (iv)   securities of the Company offered to the public in a
firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act;

                     (v)    securities of the Company offered to the public in
any other public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the
Securities Act with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least
$7,500,000;

                     (vi)   securities of the Company issued pursuant to the
acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of
substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization whereby the Company
owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such other
corporation;

                     (vii)  securities of the Company issued to vendors or
customers or in connection with equipment lease financing transactions or bank
financing transactions the principal purpose of which is not to raise equity
funding;

                     (viii) securities of the Company issued to corporate
partners or in connection with other strategic alliances if the Board of
Directors unanimously determines that such transactions are not principally for
the purpose of raising equity funding; or

                     (ix)   shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in
connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization by the
Company.

              (b)    In the event that Company proposes to undertake an issuance
of New Securities, it shall give each Eligible Purchaser written notice of its
intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, and the general
terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Eligible Purchaser
shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice to agree to
purchase its pro rata share of such New Securities at the price and upon the
terms specified in the notice by giving written

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be
purchased. If any Eligible Purchaser fails to agree to purchase its full pro
rata share within such ten (10) business day period, the Company will give the
Eligible Purchasers who did so agree (the "Electing Purchasers") notice of the
number of shares which were not subscribed for. Such notice may be by telephone
if followed by written confirmation within two days. The Electing Purchasers
shall have ten (10) business days from the date of such notice to agree to
purchase pro rata all of the New Securities not purchased by such non-purchasing
Eligible Purchasers.

              (c)    In the event that Eligible Purchasers fail to exercise in
full the right of first offer within the ten (10) business plus ten (10)
business day period specified above, the Company shall have one hundred twenty
(120) days thereafter to sell (or enter into an agreement pursuant to which the
sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty
(60) days from the date of said agreement) the New Securities respecting which
the rights of the Eligible Purchasers were not exercised at a price and upon
terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the
Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities
within such one hundred twenty (120) day period (or sold and issued New
Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days from the date
of such agreement) the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities, without first offering such New Securities to the Eligible
Purchasers in the manner provided above.

              (d)    The right of first offer granted under this Section 17
shall expire upon the earlier of (i) five years from the date hereof, or (ii)
the first sale of Common Stock to the public that is effected pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission
under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock with an
aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $7,500,000.

              (e)    This right of first offer is nonassignable except to any
transferee to whom registration rights may be transferred pursuant to Section 15
of this Agreement.

       18.    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. So long as OPTi, Inc. ("OPTi") and SANYO
Semiconductor Corporation ("Sanyo") each hold 500,000 shares of Series A
Preferred or Series B Preferred (or any combination thereof), OPTi and Sanyo
will each vote all of their shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock for the election to the Board of
Directors of (i) one nominee designated by OPTi and reasonably satisfactory to
the Founder (but only for so long as Founder is a director) and (ii) one nominee
designated by Sanyo reasonably satisfactory to the Founder (but only for so long
as the Founder is a director). The obligations under this Section 18 shall
terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock to the public that is effected
pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the
Commission under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock
with an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $7,500,000.

       19.    OBSERVER RIGHTS. As long as Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco") owns not
less than five percent (5%) of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock it is
purchasing hereunder (or an equivalent amount of Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof) and until such time as the Company completes its initial
public offering, the Company shall invite a representative of Cisco to attend
all

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this
respect, shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes,
consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such representative shall agree in writing to hold in confidence
and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so
provided; and, provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold
any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion
thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could
adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its
counsel or would result in disclosure of trade secrets to such representative.

       20.    CONFIDENTIALITY. For a period of three years from the date hereof,
the Founder and each Purchaser shall not disclose to any third party or to the
public in general the terms and conditions of the Series D Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement and each of the documents entered into in connection
therewith, including their existence, except (a) to the extent the discloser
concludes in good faith and upon advice of counsel that such disclosure is
required by applicable law, regulation or regulatory authority, and (b) to the
discloser's directors, shareholders, auditors, accountants, lenders, bankers,
underwriters, attorneys and bona fide prospective equity investors, provided
that any such persons agree in writing to be bound by substantially similar
confidentiality provisions. In the event of any disclosure authorized by the
preceding sentence, the disclosing party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
confidential treatment of the information and materials so disclosed.

       21.    ADDITIONAL PARTIES. The parties hereto agree that additional
holders of securities of the Company may, with the consent only of the Company,
be added as parties to this Agreement with respect to any or all securities of
the Company held by them, and shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes
"Purchasers" hereunder; provided, however, that from and after the date of this

such holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter
occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on
the part of any holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any
waiver on the part of any holder of any provisions or conditions of this

Series B Purchasers, Series C Purchasers and the Founder irrevocably waive all
of their rights under the Prior Shareholder Agreement (including the rights
contained in Section 17 thereof) in exchange for the rights contained herein.
